# Chapter 2371: Blood Emperor City

The Peng Clan excelled in speed, especially their clan king, the Golden-Winged Great Roc, who was known as unmatched in speed. His speed was terrifying to the point of being shocking.

The Zong Qian before them had the blood of the Peng King flowing within him. As a Golden-Winged Great Roc, his speed needed no verification. Within the Peng Clan, there existed a divine ability technique known as the Peng Clan Incarnation Art. The incarnations born from this technique were identical to the original body, even possessing the exact same aura, making them impossible to detect. Of course, these incarnations lacked the original body's attack power—otherwise, it would be too abnormal—but they possessed the original body's speed. This was the terrifying aspect of the Peng Clan's incarnations.

When the Peng Clan, renowned as the fastest, used their incarnations, three figures moved simultaneously. Who would you deal with?

Thus, both Tian Ruojian and Gu Zhu wore grave expressions. Tian Ruojian had already placed his hand on his sword hilt as he spoke: "Lin Feng, stand behind us and be very careful. Zong Qian's speed is extremely fast. When speed reaches a certain level, it can break through spatial barriers and temporal limitations. The Golden-Winged Great Roc—this is what the Peng Clan calls the Heavenly Roc Breaking Void Technique."

Gu Zhu had already summoned his World Diagram, the might of a Sacred King Weapon spreading outward. Although he and Tian Ruojian were very powerful, Zong Qian's Peng Clan Incarnation gave him three bodies. They had to be extremely cautious.

"Hand over the sword to me." Zong Qian spoke again, all three figures uttering the words simultaneously. Those golden eyes remained as sharp as ever.

"Haha, you mangy bird, you're truly despicable, coming here to snatch someone else's weapon." A rolling voice came from afar, causing Zong Qian's expression to freeze instantly, his sharp gaze flickering. Mangy bird? He was a Golden-Winged Great Roc—who dared call him that?

His eyes locked onto the distance. A figure draped in a dragon robe strode forward, wearing a crown atop his head, exuding an imposing and majestic aura.

"Ao Canghai." Zong Qian's three figures stared at the newcomer, their expressions quite solemn: "Long-horned snake, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"I like to meddle. Mangy bird, what are you going to do about it?" Ao Canghai taunted the other party. This newcomer was a member of the Dragon Clan from the Tai Yao Realm, a true giant dragon. He called the Golden-Winged Great Roc a mangy bird, while the Golden-Winged Great Roc called him a long-horned snake.

Ao Canghai stepped forward and said to Lin Feng: "So the Evil God is Lin Feng. I've heard Ao Xu mention you. No wonder Ao Mo was willing to follow you. I originally heard that Ao Mo had willingly become someone's servant and wanted to teach the little fellow a lesson, but coincidentally, I learned your identity."

Lin Feng's expression froze. So Ao Canghai had come to the Xiao Tian Court with another purpose—to find him and take Ao Mo away. But now that he knew Lin Feng was the one who had sent Ao Mo to the Dragon Clan through Ao Xu...

"This mangy bird's strength isn't much, but his speed is indeed passable. If he dares to make a move, each of us will destroy one of his bodies." Ao Canghai said to Tian Ruojian and Gu Zhu. Although he outwardly humiliated the other party, he understood the Golden-Winged Great Roc's speed. Zong Qian couldn't do anything to him in close combat, but if his original body broke through to Lin Feng's side, Lin Feng wouldn't fare well. Besides speed, the Golden-Winged Great Roc's attacks were also terrifying.

"Ao Canghai!" Zong Qian's golden eyes turned exceptionally cold. With Ao Canghai joining, even using the Peng Clan Incarnation Art, it would be difficult to succeed.

"Watch out for the Dragon King's heir." Zong Qian let out a sharp cry, then merged his three bodies into one, soaring into the sky and vanishing in an instant.

"So fast." Lin Feng's expression tightened. That was pure speed, absolute speed—gone in an instant. If the other party attacked, he could reach Lin Feng in a single moment. Such astonishing speed used in battle would be extremely terrifying. Any power, when pushed to a certain degree, becomes frightening.

"Dragon King's heir?" Lin Feng looked at Ao Canghai in surprise. Could he be the descendant of a Dragon King? On top of Ao Canghai's head, there was indeed a crown.

"I didn't expect the Dragon Prince to lend a hand." Gu Zhu's gaze fell on Ao Canghai, as if confirming Lin Feng's guess. Ao Canghai was indeed a Dragon Prince.

"It was nothing. Among our Dragon Clan, Dark Demonic Dragons are quite rare, almost extinct. I'm very grateful that Lin Feng sent Ao Mo to our Dragon Clan." Ao Canghai looked at Lin Feng and said: "You helped me once, so now I'll help you. The young man captured by the Flame Temple—is he your son?"

"Yes, he is my son." Lin Feng nodded.

"It's very difficult to get someone back in Tianyan City, even for the Fate Temple, unless you go to war with the Flame Temple. So you need to take another path." Ao Canghai said.

"What path?" Lin Feng asked.

"An eye for an eye. If they target your family, can't you target the Flame Temple's people? But to make the Flame Temple take it seriously, you must choose the right person to go after."

"Do you have someone in mind, senior?" Lin Feng looked at Ao Canghai.

"I know there's a very important figure in the Flame Temple named Qiong Yu, whose status in the Flame Temple is extraordinary. If you can capture him, the Flame Temple will surely be cautious and obediently release the person."

"Qiong Yu. That name sounds unfamiliar." Tian Ruojian murmured.

"That's because you don't understand the temples. Our Dragon Clan knows far more about the various temples of the Xiao Tian Court than you do." Ao Canghai said with a smile.

"What is his cultivation level, and where is he?" Gu Zhu asked Ao Canghai.

"Several decades ago, he entered the Saint Realm. Now he's probably even stronger. Based on his talent, he's likely already a Minor Accomplishment Saint King, with very formidable combat power. Moreover, according to the information I've received, he's currently preparing to enter one of the Seven Great Forbidden Lands—the Divine Tomb. If we hurry, we might still catch him." Ao Canghai replied, causing Gu Zhu and Tian Ruojian's expressions to stiffen. If Qiong Yu was about to enter a forbidden land and they didn't act quickly, it would indeed be too late.

"Qiong Yu is entering the Divine Tomb?" Lin Feng's eyes flickered. Then Ao Canghai continued: "Here's what we can do. I'll take Lin Feng on a trip to find Qiong Yu. But I must state upfront that I can't personally act to capture Qiong Yu—this concerns the grudges and grievances between my Dragon Clan and the temples. If I intervene, the matter becomes serious. You can have someone else accompany me. At the same time, you should also prepare to head to Tianyan City. Both sides should prepare simultaneously."

Lin Feng could understand. The divine beast clans of the Tai Yao Realm had delicate relationships with the temples of the Xiao Tian Court. Qiong Yu was an important figure of the Flame Temple, and Ao Canghai was a Dragon Prince of the Dragon Clan. If he went after Qiong Yu, it would be equivalent to the Dragon Clan declaring war on the Flame Temple.

"Also, Lin Feng, you need to think clearly. If you touch Qiong Yu, there will be no room for turning back." Ao Canghai warned.

"Turning back?" A cold light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. The Flame Temple had killed forbidden ones and used every means to try to kill him—that was one thing. But now, the Flame Temple had even moved against Zhetian. Facing the temple now, he had only one belief: slaughter.

Since the temple wanted him dead so badly, from now on, he would slaughter the temple without end, until the day he died, or until the lofty temple crumbled before him.

"Since Qiong Yu's status is so important, there might be powerful figures by his side. I'll go with you and Lin Feng. Gu Zhu, return to the Ancient Realm Clan and contact the Fate Temple. Both sides will act together." Tian Ruojian said. This matter was extremely difficult on both sides, with no guarantee of success, so it was best to prepare on both fronts.

"Alright." Gu Zhu nodded in agreement, his expression also quite grave. This time, their opponent was the temple.

"Since that's settled, we'll part ways here. I, Tian Ruojian, and Lin Feng will go to the Divine Tomb." Ao Canghai said. After discussing, the group split into two directions.

The Divine Tomb was one of the Seven Great Forbidden Lands, equally renowned. However, the Divine Tomb could be said to be the forbidden land that cultivators of the Xiao Tian Court most frequently entered. Their reverence for it was far less than for other forbidden lands. This was related to the Divine Tomb's origin. Legend had it that the Divine Tomb was a god's burial ground. Its status in the Xiao Tian Court was similar to a certain forbidden land in the Tai Yao Realm.

To reach the Divine Tomb, one must first enter Blood Emperor City, a chaotic city located in the Blood-colored Demonic Sea. It was the only entrance to the Divine Tomb, one of the Seven Great Forbidden Lands.

At this moment, Lin Feng and the others had arrived above the Blood-colored Demonic Sea. Suspended in the void, Lin Feng looked down and saw the roaring sea of blood. His heart trembled slightly. The Xiao Tian Court truly had every kind of place. No one knew how this sea of blood had formed. Rumors said it was forged from the blood of countless powerful experts, but this claim wasn't widely accepted. Others believed that a god's blood had flowed into the ocean, converging into this endless, vast sea of blood.

"Why are there lightning bolts?" Lin Feng looked ahead. A blood-red lightning bolt struck down from the sky, causing the sea of blood to roar violently, an extremely terrifying sight.

"A natural wonder that can't be explained. This world has too many unknowns." Tian Ruojian said softly. No matter what level of strength he reached, there would always be many unknowns. Perhaps if he one day stood at the pinnacle of the world, he would understand heaven and earth.

"We've arrived." Ao Canghai's gaze fixed on the distance. Above the sea of blood lay a vast, boundless city—a blood-red city, an extremely magnificent sight.

"Blood Emperor City. I hope we can find Qiong Yu and make the Flame Temple release the person." Lin Feng's eyes flickered. The three of them sped forward.
