Dance Of The Phoenix
117. Demon Village

Almost simultaneously, Gu Yuena and Bai Youzhe made preparations for departure separately. There wasn't much to carry because of all the items that were already available in the spiritual space, but there were still some things to take care of inside the palace.

Gu Yuena who already had no other business rushed off. On air travel, his red wings flapped in the air. He did not know what plan Bai Youzhe had to send him alone, but at least it was profitable for him.

Looking at the red figure that flashed through the air, away from the palace like a passing star, Bai Youzhe in front of the palace just looked at him expressionlessly. Gu Yuena had already gone towards the north to cross the stealth village and sneak into it. As planned.

Without waiting for anything else, Bai Youzhe immediately went eastward to take a detour avoiding the stealth village. His figure shot through the air, unnoticed by Gu Yuena who was already quite far away from the palace.

He thought Bai Youzhe would remain in the palace waiting for information from him. However, Gu Yuena had no intention of informing. At least for now, she worked as the Princess of Linghun Palace completely.

Gu Yuena's journey took all day until the sun moved to the west. He landed among the shady trees in the forest, then removed all the features of the phoenix and changed his hair to red again.

Since his disguise was as a fire bird, he should not show a powerful phoenix aura. Suppressing him using magic was the right thing, and letting his demonic aura burst forth.

Not far from where it is, it should be a stealth village where various kinds of demons gather. Usually the demons live in groups of their respective types. However, this village is a little unique by accommodating a wide variety of demons. That was why Gu Yuena chose the village as a stopover as well as a place for information search.

Unlike most villages that only let a certain type of demon enter as part of the race, the village named Village Tonight did not have any special access to a single demon. Therefore, Gu Yuena entered without any obstruction or examination. It was so easy that Gu Yuena really could not believe it.

There are many human figures fanged and horned, some people have pointed ears, and are above the head. Some have long ears like rabbits. Outstretched tails, finned skin, and black nails are like witches in children's stories. All of those are the hallmarks of each type of demon.

Gu Yuena who was disguised as a fire bird did not show any characteristics other than her red eyes and hair. That alone is rare. Plus the beauty of his figure that was present rivaled the famous fox demon seductive, he became the attention of many demons.

A female fire bird that looked extremely beautiful was in this freedom-filled place, who would have thought? However, rumors say the fire bird has a bad temper. No one dared to blatantly tease him halfway if he did not wish to become a roasted demon.

Automatically, Gu Yuena was safe from suspicion or unnecessary attention. That makes him happy.

Whereas when in the place of humans, he became the center of attention until he had to cover his face using a veil. That's not good for his disguise.

Well, maybe there will be some blatant stealth against him. Such as approaching it directly and paying attention that is not necessary, even to the moment and seek attention such as lack of affection.

As Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai inside were blabbering in dislike, Gu Yuena remained calm suppressing the emotions in her heart from exploding.

It must not give off its true aura and mess up its own plans. Patience ....

Staying for a few days in the Demon Village and observing the situation, Gu Yuena carried out normal activities at all times without being suspicious. It had many spirit stones from demon monsters used as the currency of the Demon Village so it lived quite well. If not, just hunt.

Unknowingly, time passed by so quickly. He had stayed for a few months, but had heard nothing about the phoenix spirit. While his spiritual power continued to be restless.

From the inn, Gu Yuena decided to head out.

There was a crowd in the village square when Gu Yuena was going around looking for food. Thinking there might be something interesting, he went towards the crowd where there were many demons gathered in front of the notice board.

It was the announcement of the stealth recruitment in the search for the phoenix spirit. The devil asked for it.

"Spirit phoenix?" Gu Yuena seemed to know nothing in the eyes of the demons. "Isn't the Phoenix Queen dead and her spirit won't rise?"

"You don't know, phoenix blood has been found on the Mitian Plains. If he managed to evolve and take out a phoenix spirit, it was a disaster!"

"When the phoenix spirit rose, it was a calamity for those living around it. The entire place would be a sea of flames, and the Underworld Sovereign had the task of dealing with the disaster."

"That dragon?" Gu Yuena looked surprised. He wanted to scrape as much information as possible because no one had previously addressed this issue.

"Then the dragon race had a leader, the owner of dragon blood. Who would have thought there would be two dragon bloods. One of them became the Sovereign of the Underworld, the other became the Sovereign of Hell. In the end, it was the demon and the demon who had to struggle to deal with both."

Ruler of Hell ... What is Yang Xinyuan?

Gu Yuena had already seen the Underworld Sovereign so was not surprised. However, he had no idea Yang Xinyuan would have such an identity. It was only fitting to be free to roam the Underworld without being noticed.

Hell is another region in the Underworld. If the Underworld is the entirety of a world, then Hell is the place where beings experience the purification of souls. It was indeed in the Underworld, but it had special rules and different leaders.

"Will the Lord of Hell come too?" ask Gu Yuena.

"Because of being related to the phoenix blood, he should have come as well. By and large, these three figures would exist in the same place during a disaster."

"I suggest, a small demon with a low stealth aura does not follow this quest. In addition to having to guard the phoenix spirit in order for the demons to thwart the evolution of the phoenix, it also had to deal with two rulers. Not to mention, not knowing how strong the phoenix blood was."

There are many demons here, those who do not know how terrible the two people when they meet will definitely come because they are tempted by gifts. Gu Yuena could only put a candle in her heart for the clumsy little demons.

Ah, he remembered when the three of them were still in Wyvernia. Back then, the three of them had not been as strong as they were now.

Gu Yuena was interested in following the quest as a demon member. He also went to the registration place of the members who had been written on the notice board. Who knows, he will get this convenience in finding phoenix spirits.

Go to the center of the village and see there are very many demons enlisting. Gu Yuena also registered as Li Nana. The trip will be carried out next week so that they can make careful preparations. While Gu Yuena only needed to wait for the appointed day.

This time, the demons actually sacrificed these stupid demons into the sea of flames. If the phoenix spirit existed in the Demon Mountains, then the Demon Mountains back then would have suffered a great shock and become a true sea of fire.

Waiting and waiting, until finally 7 days have passed. The demons that have registered are gathered at the border of the village—including Gu Yuena.

There were many powerful demons participating. It was only Gu Yuena whose strength could not be sensed that the woman seemed to have no sense of presence. However, it was precisely a good thing for Gu Yuena.

A demon in front of the demon line announced something.

"Our journey is the peak of the Devil's Mountains. The dragon race has already known the location of the phoenix spirit and is on its way to the top, therefore we should not be left one step behind. During the journey, not knowing what dangers will be experienced, whether meeting a dragon or a phoenix, no one should give up!"

Those who just knew that the Demon Mountains would be the location of the battle were instantly shocked. This village has stood at the foot of the mountain, it will definitely be affected by the battle.

The demon snorted, "For those of you who are feeling uneasy because this village is under the Demon Mountains, there is no need to worry. My master will definitely not ignore you and will protect the village as long as the phoenix spirit is obtained."

Bulshits! That was Gu Yuena's mind. The devil wanted to use this little demon as a means of obtaining a phoenix spirit. Demons were only bait when the battle arrived, whereas the person behind the demon race would not do any protection against this village. It was just a made-up promise.

However, the demons who had served the demons for thousands of years could not resist and had to trust their master. Even though they eventually become victims, they still serve faithfully and think that it is all an unavoidable risk. Gu Yuena became curious as to who this master meant.

Attractively.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The Underworld Palace was currently extremely quiet. More quiet than the days before. Until finally a butterfly came from the sky, giving off light and forming the figure of a beautiful woman in pink robes with the makeup of a butterfly in her black hair.

His eyes narrowed realizing the palace was empty. Although there were several dragons on guard, he did not find the person he was looking for.

"Where is he?" Su Churan frowned.  He could not find Bai Youzhe through the butterflies she had cut.

The blood butterfly returned after tracing the palace, creeping on its fingers giving a recent report.

Su Churan looked surprised. "Spirit phoenix? Devil's Mountain?"

The butterfly told him, the information coming from the conversation of the guardian dragon that was still awake tonight. There was a phoenix that Bai Youzhe had sent to the Demon Mountains along with her departure alone. Recently the Assassin Guild and some dragons went to the Demon Mountains.

Hearing that explanation, Su Churan let out a long sigh. "And I want to tell you the news about Xiao Yuena."

Although the woman could not feel her presence, but recently she sent a butterfly into Linghun Palace. Just then, the butterfly met Gu Yuan and Luo Yi which made it easy for Su Churan to communicate with them.

He had learned that Gu Yuena had gone to the Underworld. Gu Yuan also had his own plans to hold back the Queen of Linghun Palace who some time had become very calm. Not like before that it was so active. It must have something to do with Gu Yuena.

Unfortunately, he did not have time to know the plan when the time of its appearance ran out and the aura almost leaked. Do not let the people of Linghun Palace know, or finish the history.

The Gu brothers are planning something. Su Churan was also curious about Bai Youzhe's plan, what the man would do knowing that Gu Yuena was currently on the enemy's side.

Su Churan did not know the way to the Demon Mountains. Moreover, the Demon Mountains also had their own defenses, unable to enter humans carelessly. Su Churan could only wait in the Palace while sending a butterfly message to Bai Youzhe.

He whispered something to the butterfly on his finger, then let it fly. "Go tell him."

The blood butterflies are very fast. Although small, it has its own ability to disappear and arrive at its destination without the need to wait for long. Ever since the power of Su Churan increased, the blood butterfly became increasingly powerful and full of skill.

Bai Youzhe in the Demon Mountains saw a pink butterfly approaching her from afar. He recognizes the person behind the creature, then listens to what it wants to convey through spiritual transmission.

"I'm in your Palace to tell you a few things, but you're not in the Palace. There, maybe you will meet Xiao Yuena. Don't be surprised to see it, I warned you. Moreover, it seemed like Linghun Palace had other plans to keep Xiao Yuena siding with them, Gu Yuan was preventing that from happening from afar."

The short message from Su Churan had actually been expected by Bai Youzhe. Regarding Gu Yuena in the Underworld, he knew more than anyone. He let the butterfly go after delivering the message.
