Phoenix Valley

The information he got from the map pointed towards Phoenix Valley, a famous place among the nearby kingdoms. It is on the border of the two strongest kingdoms of the Hundred Kingdom Alliance: the Iron Griffin Kingdom and the Holy Flame Kingdom.

The Hundred Kingdom Alliance is a joint force established by hundreds of small kingdoms, and the Spiritual Kingdom is also one of them.

These two kingdoms can be said to be in the top five among the hundred kingdoms of the alliance.

They had king-level martial artists in the kingdom, and that was just not one or two.

Because of the many king realm martial artists, they can maintain their status as the top kingdom, and now he is going to the border of these two kingdoms, where many martial artists gather in search of treasure and adventure.

The place mentioned on the map is also in the Phoenix Valley. He is also looking forward to visiting this place, as no place named after a phoenix can have an ordinary origin.

Just like that time passed, two weeks later Jiang Chen appeared outside of a valley.

Even with his speed, it took him two weeks to cross many small kingdoms and cities to reach this place.

Thankfully, he is faster than most kings; otherwise, it might take two or three months to just reach this valley.

Near the valley, there seems to be a city called Phoenix City, where martial artists from various kingdoms gather.

The moment he entered, he immediately felt the difference between the spiritual kingdom and this place.

First, the difference in density of the spiritual energy of this place, which was more than twice the capital of the spiritual kingdom.

The second is naturally, the difference in strength, as just entering this city, Jiang Chen saw many spirit masters. He did not directly use his spirit to cover the city, as he did not know if there were strong martial artists here, but in just a few minutes, he saw dozens of peak spirit masters, even seven or eight half-step kings.

Just seeing the quality of martial artists here, he can say there are King realm martial artists, and there should be more than one; otherwise, they would not be able to control so many martial artists who come here.

Now that he arrived here, first, he had to know more about the Phoenix Valley, as the map did not mention much about this place. Without wasting much time, he came to a restaurant that seemed quite popular and was filled with people.

He ordered some drinks and food and quietly sat in the corner, using his spirit to check on and hear what these martial artists were saying.

"Hey, do you know that for two weeks there has been a weird movement in Phoenix Valley? Experts and seniors think some treasure is about to be born in the valley."

"What! Are you sure it's true?"

"Almost ninety-nine per cent sure, my uncle works in the city lord's mansion, and the words directly came from there, and the news is already known to all the big forces; many are already here."

"If the news comes from the city lord's mansion, then it must be true." This person did not doubt the words of his friend since the martial artists here have indescribable trust in the city lord.

Jiang Chen also heard this feeling odd, as the timing of changes in the valley and him, finding the map coincide, which cannot be a simple coincidence.

He called a waiter, a waiter who quickly came to him and asked, "Sir, what do you want?."

"Bring some alcohol and tell me about the city lord here," and then he took out fifty low-grade spirit stones.

Looking at the spirit stones, the waiter's eyes glowed, and he quickly smiled as he took the spirit stones. "Sir, you should not be from neighbouring kingdoms."

Jiang Chen did not stop the waiter, as he continued to say. "Anybody who has stayed here for some time knows the greatness of the city lord here, who has maintained the order here for more than seven hundred years."

"Seven hundred years, really?" Feeling a little surprised.

"Yes, in those years, this city was struck by many disasters, whether it was some mad king realm martial artists or king beasts, every time the City Lord defeated those intruders and saved the city.

"And even after hundreds of years, nobody dares mess with the city."

"Oh!, interesting, then what is the name of the city lord?" He asked the waiter.

"Ah, that I don't know; actually, most of the people here did not know much about City Lord except his legendary deeds, as the last time City Lord appeared was a few decades ago."

"Maybe inside the City Lord Mansion, you might know a little more about him."

"Okay, now tell me about the Phoenix Valley."

"Phoenix Valley is actually quite dangerous; it is said that thousands of years ago, after the battle between some powerful beings, a Phoenix felt to this place and bathed this place with the energy and blood of a Phoenix, changing the whole valley."

"Because of the blood qi of the phoenix, the beasts in the valley mutated and became so strong and ferocious that it became quite difficult to defeat them in similar ranks."

"Before, from time to time, beasts will come out of the valley and create chaos in human cities and kingdoms, but after the city lord came here and built Phoenix City, those beasts dare not mess around."

"So you can understand why everyone here respects the city lord and how strong the city lord and his deterrence are."

"Hmm!"

"Sir, anything else you want to know?"

"No, take it."

Jiang Chen gave the waiter those spirit stones, who happily accepted and left him alone.

The more he hears the story about the City lord and Phoenix Valley more he feels these two have some sort of connection, his gut is telling him that this city lord is not a simple guy.
