Chapter 245 Qixia City
"Um... High Priest, can you tell me where Ji Zi is now?"
"She's currently leading the Divine Phoenix Army to fight the demons. Don't worry about her. I've deduced that this is just a feint by the demons. Their real target is the Creation Immortal Sect. Ji Zi won't be in any major trouble and will be back safely in a few days."
After saying that, the high priest dragged Zhao Mu into the house, asked him to do it, then grabbed his palm and carefully stroked his palm lines.
It was not enough for her to just look at the palm lines, she directly took off Zhao Mu's shoes and even checked the lines on the soles of his feet.
Zhao Mu inexplicably enjoyed a set of hand and foot massages, but he didn't feel any enjoyment at all. He just felt more and more anxious.
"Brother Tongzi, is everything okay?"
"Please rest assured, host. The dimension in which the system exists is far higher than the current world and cannot be detected by any means."
So that’s the case. Then Zhao Mu feels relieved.
"High Priest, if there is anything else you want to see, please see it all."
The high priest folded his arms, stunned for a moment, and said, "Can I cut off a piece of your brain tissue so that I can study it carefully?"
"no!"
Zhao Mu stood up quickly and almost started fighting mode.
The high priest quickly waved his hand, "If you don't want to, forget it. I was just saying it casually. You are now a prince of the Divine Phoenix Empire. How dare I use this as a scapegoat?"
Only then did Zhao Mu sit back down.
The high priest hesitated again and said, "Then let me change my request. Can I draw some of your blood?"
This guy is playing psychological warfare with me.
It is estimated that she wanted to draw Zhao Mu's blood from the beginning. She first made an excessive request, and then gave in to make it difficult for Zhao Mu to refuse.
Although Zhao Mu was a little angry, considering the high priest's status, it was not easy to offend her.
After all, it was her credit that I was able to reach the upper realm.
"It's not impossible to draw a few drops of blood, but my blood is very precious. What does the high priest intend to use in exchange?"
The high priest pondered for a moment, then suddenly lifted up her skirt, slowly took off the smooth white silk on her legs, and stuffed it into Zhao Mu's hands.
"Is this okay?"
Zhao Mu was embarrassed.
Is this high priest serious?
"Strange, it was Ji Zi who taught me to do this. She said that you would definitely not be able to refuse it. Why doesn't it work?" The high priest muttered.
Ji Zi...
Madam, you are so... kind.
Zhao Mu put the still-warm stockings into his pocket, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, smoke."
The high priest was overjoyed and immediately took out a silver needle and pierced Zhao Mu's skin.
However, the silver needle broke directly without leaving any trace on Zhao Mu's skin.
The high priest was slightly startled and took out the silver needle again. This time he infused the silver needle with his own spiritual power and stabbed it hard.
With a bang, the silver needle broke again, still without leaving any trace.
The high priest was stunned.
"Don't resist. I'm going to be gentle and it won't hurt you." The high priest said with a pout.
Zhao Mu smiled and said, "I didn't resist, it's just that my defense is relatively high."
The high priest didn't believe it, so he took action himself and scratched Zhao Mu's arm with his fingertips.
No one in the Divine Emperor Realm could stop her claw.
But when it landed on Zhao Mu's arm, it only left a faint red mark.
"Your physical defense is almost comparable to that of a God Emperor!"
The high priest was completely stunned.
"I'll do it myself."
Zhao Mu summoned the Heaven-viewing Daluo Sword: "Ruge, take action."
Ruge hesitated for a moment, but still followed Zhao Mu's instructions and lightly scratched his arm, leaving a tiny sword mark.
Zhao Mu quickly squeezed out a few drops of blood.
In less than two seconds, the wound healed thanks to his powerful self-healing ability.
The high priest was stunned.
"Sword spirit...a sword spirit at the Divine Emperor level?!"
She knew Zhao Mu was no ordinary person, but this was too...
Without thinking too much, the high priest quickly took out the container, collected Zhao Mu's blood, and hid it close to his body as if it were a treasure.
Then she took out a storage ring and handed it to Zhao Mu.
"It contains your Divine Phoenix Empire ID, a map of the Upper Realm, teleportation point coordinates, and some taboos. With these, you can travel the Upper Realm alone. As long as you don't provoke the three major factions, there will be basically no problems... Also, this house is specially prepared for you. You can use it as a temporary base. Ji Zi will come back here to find you after she returns from the battlefield."
"Thank you, High Priest."
This thing is quite important, so Zhao Mu put it away immediately.
When he looked up again, the high priest had disappeared.
Zhao Mu smiled helplessly.
He did not rush out, but first carefully looked over the things left by the high priest, and gained a preliminary understanding of the situation in the upper realm. Then he walked out of the courtyard and came to the street.
Perhaps due to the war, the Divine Phoenix Empire is now under martial law. There are few pedestrians on the streets, and not many businesses are open for business, but there are still some.
Zhao Mu followed the aroma and found a restaurant. He ordered a few signature dishes and filled his stomach first.
The place where he was currently was the capital of the Divine Phoenix Empire, called Qixia.
From the outside, Qixia City does not look very prosperous.
The most direct impact Zhao Mu had on this place was the very high proportion of green space.
It is simply a capital city built in the forest, and the area occupied by various green plants and rare treasures almost accounts for more than 80% of the entire city.
In the center of the city, there is a very huge sycamore tree.
The trunk of the sycamore tree was probably just over 20 kilometers in diameter and over 70 kilometers high. Its branches and leaves were so lush that they covered most of Qixia City.
In addition to being filled with natural atmosphere, Qixia City is also very quiet.
The population here is actually not small, with about eight million people. Although there is martial law, it is too quiet and you can hardly hear any noisy sounds.
Are all the people of the Divine Phoenix Empire so well-educated?
After eating and drinking, Zhao Mu wandered around the street.
He also wanted to inquire about the battle situation to see if he needed to go to the front line to support Ji Zi, but after asking several passers-by, Zhao Mu was a little confused.
Many of the people here don't even know about the invasion of the demons.
The Divine Phoenix Empire protects its people too well.
Forget it, let’s go straight to the front line.
Judging from the map, to the north of the Shenhuang Empire is the Wuhun Pavilion, and to the west is the Fortune Immortal Gate. The high priest said that the real target of the demons is the Fortune Immortal Gate, which means that the direction of the demon invasion is most likely from the south. As long as we search south, we will definitely find it.
After leaving Qixia City, Zhao Mu used the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch and moved quickly to the south.
The scenery of the upper world seen along the way is not much different from that of the lower world.
The only difference is that the population in the upper realm seems to be smaller. It is rare to see any villages or towns. All you can see is nature. The population is basically gathered in big cities and is very concentrated.
