"Asshole, are you cursing ?" Phoenix said angrily.
"I'm simply reminding you not to drag others into this. They're innocent," Zhang Bin said.
"I insist on dragging you in. If that day cos, I will go to China to find you," Phoenix said with a sneer.
"Uh…" Zhang Bin touched his forehead. "Why would you co looking for ? I'm not your husband, nor have I done anything to wrong you."
"But you stole my subordinate, Peacock," Phoenix said coldly.
"Are you saying your subordinates can't get married? Peacock chose to be my woman of her own free will," Zhang Bin said indignantly.
Phoenix paid him no further attention and just silently gazed at the sun in the sky. She showed no sadness and no confusion, seeming to accept her fate calmly.
"Since you were able to consu the True Phoenix Egg, it's your good fortune. There might still be a turning point," Zhang Bin said, trying to comfort her.
In reality, he felt these words were too hypocritical. Both he and Phoenix knew clearly in their hearts that there was no chance for a turnaround. If this were the Immortal Realm, perhaps there would be a possibility. But unfortunately, this was Earth, a barren land for Cultivation.
"When that day cos, I will find a deserted place to die. I won't drag anyone down with . I was just teasing you before," Phoenix said lightly.
"I know," Zhang Bin said softly.
They sat there, chatting idly, like two strangers who had t by chance. Their connection felt very detached.
Suddenly, Duo Duo's voice echoed in Zhang Bin's mind. "Master, I've found sothing! I found the City of Gold! Co quickly!"
Hahaha… I finally found it! This is aweso! Zhang Bin imdiately burst into excited laughter in his mind.
He promptly transmitted his voice to Phoenix. "Beauty, I've found the City of Gold. Let's go take a look. Don't show any surprise or excitent, because soone might be lying in wait to take advantage of us…"
Phoenix also pretended to look indifferently at the clouds above and transmitted her voice back. "It's probably the experts hired by the Sky Axe Sect. How foolish. Do they take us for idiots?"
After discussing for a mont, the two of them returned and gathered all the won from the Phoenix Organization. Zhang Bin then brought them all aboard another vessel within his Dragon Pool. Then he boldly took Phoenix's hand and led her underground with him.
"You'd better not touch . If I lose control of the flas, you'll be in big trouble," Phoenix transmitted, following behind Zhang Bin with a coquettish complaint.
"What's holding hands? It's not a passionate kiss or an embrace. It won't make you flustered enough to lose control of your terrifying energy," Zhang Bin transmitted back with a wicked smile. He was truly audacious, apparently unaware of how to write the word 'death'.
Phoenix was completely speechless. Now that they were moving underground, she knew she wouldn't be able to keep up with Zhang Bin if she didn't hold his hand. So, she didn't struggle and simply let him lead her. In the past, any emotional fluctuation would trigger an eruption of the terrifying flas within her body. But today, she was strangely calm. The flas inside her didn't stir at all.
Why is this? Is it because I know he's actually a good person and won't harbor any lustful intentions toward ? Is it because I warned him, so I know he won't dare try anything? Is that why I don't feel any tension or excitent? Or perhaps… is it because I've accepted him? So the flas inside have also temporarily accepted him? How is that possible? The flas within are rciless; they won't even spare , the one who is supposed to control them. Eventually, these flas will incinerate to ash. How could they possibly accept him?
Phoenix quickly dismissed these random thoughts and focused all her energy on using Earth Escape to follow Zhang Bin. His speed was increasing, becoming as swift as lightning, and they weren't just going down but moving in a peculiar sideways direction.
Now that Zhang Bin had reached the Mid-phase Seed Condensing Realm and had absorbed Dragon Qi multiple tis, he had grown much stronger. Although there were still no signs of him advancing to the Golden Core Late Stage, his Special Ability had also risen significantly. Of course, the enhancent of his Special Ability wasn't only related to his Cultivation Level but also to his daily practice of the Pure Heart Mystique, and it was trendously connected to Xiao Qing in his Dantian. Because Xiao Qing was constantly purifying Zhang Bin's body, and the purer his body beca, the stronger his Special Ability would be. As a result, Zhang Bin's ability to travel underground had improved dramatically.
Phoenix, anwhile, had cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm. In terms of realm, she was a whole three levels higher than Zhang Bin. Coupled with the fact that she was a powerful Superpower User, her ability to travel underground was also quite impressive.
Thus, they managed to travel sideways for over a hundred kiloters in one go before surfacing. He led Phoenix into the Flying Saucer, and with a flash of green light, they vanished without a trace.
For the past month, he had led the people from the Phoenix Organization to explore in the direction opposite to Duo Duo's search. As a result, they were now five hundred kiloters apart. Going underground and then leaving in the Flying Saucer was a feint designed to give their enemies a false impression: that the City of Gold lay directly beneath the patch of sand where they had disappeared. The enemy would then waste ti searching there, allowing Zhang Bin to explore the real City of Gold without worry.
And indeed, just as they went underground, the three individuals hidden in the clouds grew excited.
"Huh? They all went underground."
"That's not right. So of them haven't mastered Earth Escape, so how could they go down? It seems soone has developed a rather spacious Dragon Pool and took them along. They might have really found the City of Gold!"
"Quick, let's go down!"
The three imdiately descended and dived underground into the desert. However, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any trace of them, nor could they see any sign of the City of Gold.
"Damn it! We've been fooled! They escaped!"
The three were furious, especially the expert from the Bloody Blade Sect, Dickens, who was boiling with rage. He imdiately led the other two back to the surface. His vast Divine Sense erupted, creating a terrifying storm that swept out in all directions, instantly covering a five-hundred-kiloter radius.
He was, after all, an expert who had cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm Peak. His strength was terrifying, and his Divine Sense ability was naturally formidable. But to his blood-spitting anger, there was no sign of Zhang Bin or his companions within those five hundred kiloters. The desert was empty, as if for all of eternity, only the three of them had ever been there.
"How is this possible? Where did they escape to?" Dickens wore a bewildered expression. The other two also looked completely dumbfounded. They stared at each other, utterly at a loss.
At this mont, they were filled with regret. If they hadn't wanted to play the waiting ga and had just captured Zhang Bin's group of three, along with all the won from the Phoenix Organization, they could have interrogated them for everything. The City of Gold would have been theirs. But instead, they had spent a month exposed to the elents in the sky, watching Zhang Bin's group of three enjoying themselves with the won, only to let them escape.
The City of Gold was lost to them.
"No! You won't get away! I will find you, no matter what it takes!" Dickens roared in anger.
And so, they began to fly aimlessly over the desert like headless chickens, searching with their Divine Sense and employing various other secret techniques.
Three idiots. Trying to plot against and play the fisherman is just pure overconfidence. Through Tutu's satellite monitoring, Zhang Bin was watching their every move and let out a scornful sneer in his heart.
If he weren't worried that his Orange Thunder might not be enough to kill Dickens, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm Peak, Zhang Bin would have already taken the initiative to attack and eliminate them. But if he failed to kill them and they escaped, it could attract nurous powerful Cultivators from the Bloody Blade Sect. That would be a huge hindrance to his search for the City of Gold.
At this very mont, he was once again leading Phoenix underground, diving straight into the depths of the desert. In one go, he traveled a distance of three hundred kiloters before finally arriving at their destination.
The City of Gold was right before their eyes! It emanated an earth-shattering, domineering aura that left them both shocked and amazed
