Chapter 1794

The tall city gate was wide open, with all sorts of people coming and going!

Flying is not allowed inside the city.

This rule is common in many places.

"Young Master, why don't we go buy a map first?" Li Canghai suggested, "This old servant doesn't know where this Drinking Bingshan is either!"

Lian Nihong said, "Buy what? No need, the map is all in my head!"

"This Drinking Bingshan is near 【Heavenly Phoenix City】..."

"Heavenly Phoenix City?" Li Canghai shook his head, "This old man has never heard of it!"

"I have been to or heard of Late City and the cities around it, but I have never heard of Heavenly Phoenix City!"

He expressed doubt.

Lian Nihong said, "There is much you haven't heard of. How much knowledge can a mere Divine Imperial Stage cultivator have?"

"This Heavenly Phoenix City is separated from your Late City by at least six large cities!"

"At the speed of your flying boat, I estimate you wouldn't reach it in three years!"

"But it doesn't matter. There are large ships in Late City that fly to surrounding cities; we only need to... hmm... transfer five or six times to reach Heavenly Phoenix City!"

"Sigh... what a hassle!"

"Low cultivation means low speed!"

"Let's go... you two follow me!"

Lian Nihong led He Pingsheng and Li Canghai past the city gate, and once inside the city, they took the city's teleportation array to a huge plaza.

The plaza was lined with golden warships.

These ships were huge, each thousands of zhang in size.

There were buildings on the ships that were dozens of stories high, and the rooms inside were as dense as a beehive.

"Forty thousand Divine Gold per person, one hundred and twenty thousand for three people!"

"One room per person!"

"This is the price for the lowest-class room!"

In the ticket hall below the large ship, He Pingsheng took out his nameplate with a pained expression and handed it to the woman behind the window.

One hundred and twenty thousand!

And this wasn't even the price to Drinking Bingshan, just the price to the next city.

According to what this woman Lian Nihong said, with five or six transfers in between, heavens...

Nearly ten million!

"Let's go!" After getting the three plates, the three of them walked into the large ship separately.

The large ship didn't depart whenever one pleased; it only departed every half month.

Because the voyage itself required one month.

With one room per person, they could temporarily cultivate here. He Pingsheng still had an unrefined top-tier 【Calm Spirit Pill】 in his body, so he directly closed the door, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

Seven days later, the large ship departed.

Another fifteen days later, it landed at the next large city, 【Peerless City】.

Then the three of them got off the ship and took another ship from Peerless City to the next city.

Thus, after five transfers, plus the time wasted buying items and waiting in between, it was already a year later when the three of them arrived at Heavenly Phoenix City.

The level of this Heavenly Phoenix City seemed to be one level higher than the previous Late City and Peerless City.

Of course, this was just what He Pingsheng saw on the surface; whether it was actually so, he didn't know.

"After leaving the city, head due west..." Lian Nihong's eyes were filled with impatience: "Expand your flying boat; five or six days should be enough!"

He Pingsheng shook his head and said, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't be so hasty... there are some things I need to clarify first!"

"Fine, ask away!" Lian Nihong nodded.

He Pingsheng asked, "What level of power does your Drinking Bingshan count as here in Heavenly Phoenix City?"

"Is it top-tier?"

"Pretty much!" Lian Nihong nodded solemnly: "Before, I was at the sixth layer of the Divine Monarch Stage, and I was also the one with the highest cultivation in our family!"

"Look at this Heavenly Phoenix City!"

"In Heavenly Phoenix City, even the City Lord is only at the Divine Monarch Stage!"

"So theoretically speaking, even the City Lord's Mansion cannot do anything to our Lian family."

"In terms of family strength, the Lian family can rank in the top twenty here in Heavenly Phoenix City!"

"Impressive!" Li Canghai gave a thumbs up and said, "Our Li family is basically the number one family near Divine Dream Mountain, and our family's ancestor is only at the second layer of the Divine Monarch Stage, and hasn't made any progress for many years!"

He Pingsheng said, "Don't interrupt!"

"I'll ask you again!" He stared at Lian Nihong: "When you were fighting the demon race before, didn't you die once!"

"Later, this body of yours was actually reborn using every possible means!"

"Then, will the life plate you left at home shatter?"

Lian Nihong was suddenly startled, her expression changing slightly: "Yes... theoretically speaking, I have died, so the life plate left at home should have shattered a year ago!"

"Then... then, does that have any impact?"

He Pingsheng smiled: "I don't know... I just feel that one must guard against others."

"Family power cannot be left vacant. In this past year, there must be a new person in charge of the family, and you are returning rashly now, without any cultivation!"

"This..."

"I'm not trying to stir up trouble!"

"Think about it yourself, is there any risk?"

"No risk, absolutely impossible to have any risk!" Lian Nihong waved her hand and said: "I am at the sixth layer of the Divine Monarch Stage, and my sister is at the first layer of the Divine Monarch Stage!"

"At this moment, she should be the one controlling the family!"

"My sister and I are deeply affectionate; after I return, I will give her all the family power, and I will just go into seclusion to cultivate!"

"Absolutely no problem!"

He Pingsheng nodded and said, "Fine... since that's the case... then let's go over!"

After the three of them left the city, they directly expanded the flying boat and flew westward.

Five days passed like this, and they were getting closer and closer to Drinking Bingshan.

Lian Nihong suddenly became somewhat uneasy.

"What's wrong?" He Pingsheng asked: "Don't you trust your sister?"

"How is that possible?" Lian Nihong shook her head and squeezed out a fake smile: "Our Drinking Bingshan Lian family has a mortal enemy. When I was there, I could still deal with them, but now I'm afraid that after the news of my fall spreads, that enemy will take the opportunity to attack our Lian family!"

"The worst-case scenario is that our Lian family has already been breached, and we are just walking into a trap!"

"Stop!" He Pingsheng decisively called for Li Canghai to stop: "Stop first!"

After the ship stopped, he asked Lian Nihong: "What should we do now?"

Lian Nihong said: "We are already very close to Drinking Bingshan ahead. I think... you are right!"

"For the sake of stability, it's better to scout the situation at home first!"

"Otherwise, I would have thrown my life away for nothing, and implicated you two as well?"

He Pingsheng asked: "How do we scout for information?"

"Do you have any Divine Servants?"

"I do!" Lian Nihong said: "But the moment I died, the Divine Servant mark was lifted, so they are no longer my Divine Servants!"

"How about this... there is a small town not far to the east of Drinking Bingshan. There is a small family in the town, and their family head is a guy at the third layer of the Divine Imperial Stage, named Hong Tianshun!"

"This person has always served our Lian family, and he's not a bad person. I took care of him back then!"

"Let's go over and scout the situation from him first!"
