Chapter 92: Ren Tianxing’s Sarcastic Remark
Vermilion Bird City was majestically splendid, at its very center stood a thousand-foot statue, a carving of a Vermilion Bird enveloped in flames, soaring into the sky and crying toward the heavens. The craftsmen were indeed skillful, as the engraving of the Vermilion Bird was extremely delicate and lifelike, as if it might come to life at any moment.
Most of the Demon Tribe were rather lax, so there were no guards stationed outside the city walls.
Wukong and Yuan Hong strolled into the city at a leisurely pace and immediately felt a scorching aura. The Vermilion Bird Clan also cultivated fire, and there was a grand formation inside the city that drew in the power of the sun to accelerate the cultivation of the clansmen.
Members of great clans were generally few in number, as they tried to maintain the purity of their lineage, and moreover, their fertility was much lower compared to other races. For example, a female snake could lay dozens or even hundreds of eggs at once, while clans like the Vermilion Bird Clan had to spend two years to conceive an offspring, and if the bloodline was pure, it would take even ten years.
Wukong and Yuan Hong took the form of monkeys, and they were no ordinary monkeys. Those with keen eyes could tell at a glance that they were different from the common apes; they were taller, with golden fur and golden eyes, and their noble bearing made it clear they were of extraordinary origin.
There were many pedestrians in the city, and numerous shops were managed in a well-organized fashion.
From time to time, the patrolling guard squad of the Vermilion Bird Clan could be seen, ten-strong teams, all of them at the Profound Immortal Level.
Wukong said, "Let’s head straight for the City Lord’s Mansion."
Yuan Hong nodded in agreement.
The two traveled unimpeded all the way to the City Lord’s Mansion but were stopped by someone as they approached.
"Who goes there? Do you have a token?" A captain of the guard blocked their way and asked loudly.
