Chapter 706: Chapter 369: Starshrine Palace
The territory of Black Obsidian City is extremely vast.
Every building, even every street, is vast and endless. Moreover, most of the buildings and streets in the city are suspended in the clouds and mist, brimming with grandeur.
A giant beast with a fiery red body, resembling a qilin, is riding the clouds and mist, weaving through them.
On the back of the fire qilin, stand a man and a woman.
"This fire qilin was a semi-divine fierce beast subdued by my grandfather in the depths of the Barbaric Wilderness," Zhao Zixuan said with a smile, "It’s now my mount."
"A semi-divine fierce beast?" Jiang Ye marveled in his heart.
He knew that Zhao Zixuan’s grandfather was a powerhouse at the third tier demigod level, holding a very high status in this Black Obsidian City.
Even so, to catch a semi-divine fierce beast for Zhao Zixuan as a mount?
Unbelievable.
"The Uncle Yan from before," Jiang Ye inquired curiously, "was he also sent by your grandfather?"
"Yes," Zhao Zixuan laughed, "my grandfather treats me very well."
Jiang Ye nodded slightly.
Having a second-tier demigod personally act as a protector illustrates how favored Zhao Zixuan is by her grandfather.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Jiang Ye’s expression shifted: "Someone is approaching."
Whoosh!
The surrounding clouds and mist suddenly churned, and a black flood dragon emerged, with a figure in purple standing on its head.
"Zhao Zhuo?" Zhao Zixuan furrowed her delicate brows upon seeing the newcomer.
"Zhao Zixuan."
"You seem to be giving this kid too much importance," the young man in purple, Zhao Zhuo, laughed, "actually sending him off personally?"
"My affairs are none of your business," Zhao Zixuan said, frowning.
"Heh heh." Zhao Zhuo wasn’t angered, speaking lazily: "Does your sister know you’re bringing him to the banquet this time?"
"I told you, don’t meddle!" Zhao Zixuan glared.
"Roar!"
The fire qilin, as if sensing its owner’s emotions, raised its head and roared at Zhao Zhuo.
Zhao Zhuo chuckled and said no more.
He glanced at Jiang Ye beside Zhao Zixuan and then swiftly left on the black flood dragon.
Zhao Zixuan watched him depart, her brows slightly furrowed, seemingly worried about something.
"Sister Zixuan, who was that person just now?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.
He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he sensed a trace of hostility from the young man in purple.
Yet, this was their first meeting.
"That was Zhao Zhuo."
"He, like me, is also a descendant of the City Lord," Zhao Zixuan said softly, "This person acts in a profligate manner, I really dislike him."
"However."
"He’s not really a bad person, and he has a genius brother, you’d best not provoke him," Zhao Zixuan said.
"A genius brother?" Jiang Ye was curious, catching that the last sentence was a warning.
To avoid conflict with him.
"His brother Zhao Chen is among the top ten on the Black Obsidian City extraordinary talent ranking," Zhao Zixuan stated solemnly, "Zhao Chen’s strength is remarkable even among the extraordinary talents."
"And another thing."
"Zhao Chen is very protective of his brother Zhao Zhuo."
"This is exactly why Zhao Zhuo has developed such a profligate character," Zhao Zixuan said helplessly.
As she spoke, it was as if a conversation box had been opened.
She poured out many past stories to Jiang Ye.
Soon, Jiang Ye gradually understood why Zhao Zixuan disliked Zhao Zhuo so much.
"Zhao Zhuo looks down on people outside the city? Especially the natives of the barbaric tribes?" Jiang Ye couldn’t help but smile.
Wherever you go, there are the Celestial Dragon People.
At this moment Jiang Ye also understood why he had felt that trace of hostility, it was not an illusion.
"No matter, I’ll face whatever comes," Jiang Ye wasn’t concerned.
He had already observed that Zhao Zhuo, like Zhao Zixuan, only had Tao Bone talent.
He was nothing more than someone who relied on having a genius brother to act uncontrollably.
But to Jiang Ye, as long as they didn’t start trouble, he wouldn’t bother with them.
If trouble did come knocking, he certainly wouldn’t sit idly by.
"However."
"Before the Black Tower opens, it’s best to remain cautious," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "Avoid unnecessary complications."
For Jiang Ye, completing this divine level assessment mission is the most important affair.
Everything else can be set aside.
...
Soon.
The fire qilin carried the two of them to a grand palace.
"Jiang Ye, we’ve arrived."
"This is the ’Star Glory Palace,’ Zhao Zixuan pointed below, "In Black Obsidian City, any grand celebration or banquet will be held here."
"The upcoming Black Tower trial will likely attract many spectators here as well."
"Yes," Jiang Ye nodded slightly, he could see it too.
Because that towering Black Tower was not far away, only less than a thousand kilometers from this ’Star Glory Palace.’
A thousand kilometers may seem distant.
But with the Black Tower’s grand and vast presence, it seemed close enough to touch.
Compared to the Black Tower, the ’Star Glory Palace’ below seemed insignificant... but it was far from modest, occupying hundreds of thousands of square miles, extremely vast.
"In Black Obsidian City, every building is extraordinarily large," Jiang Ye marveled internally.
In fact, such a place is suitable for powerhouses to reside.
Like Jiang Ye, with a single leap, he could easily fly hundreds of miles.
If the place were narrow, there would be no room to perform cultivation techniques.
"Whoosh!" The fire qilin carried the two as it flew towards the Star Glory Palace.
"It’s Zhao Zixuan’s mount."
"Sister Zixuan."
"Hmm? There’s someone standing beside her, who is that?"
"Looks quite handsome, could it be Zhao Zixuan’s chosen dao companion?"
"Appears to be at the early period of the Sixth Break, relying on others?" Many guests below recognized Zhao Zixuan.
At the same time, they were full of curiosity.
In the past, Zhao Zixuan had never been so close to anyone of the opposite sex.
"Boom~" The fire qilin landed on the ground, making a thunderous sound.
"Sister Zixuan."
"Zixuan, long time no see," several young people approached, and those attending the banquet were mostly descendants of gods, at worst noble within the city, and all had extraordinary bearing.
