The Azure Sword God
Reaching the Phoenix Mountain Region

Jian Chen and Xiao Yu continued to move towards their first destination which was Phoenix Mountain.

According to the map, their destination from Pelabuhan Ratu is about a week away.

During that journey, Xiao Yu had also broken through to the ninth stage Martial Master level. And as for Hui-Ying, the little tiger had reached the seventh stage Martial Master level. His cultivation speed was astounding. Just needing resources, he would continue to break through endlessly.

Jian Chen could only sigh deeply because he did not know how Hui-Ying could be like that. Even if he examined Hui-Ying's body closely, still he could not find what the cause was as if it had been embedded in the little tiger's genes.

After moving for almost a week, they finally arrived around Phoenix Mountain.

“That's Phoenix Mountain? Very large!” Xiao Yu looked at the Phoenix Mountain from a distance.

Jian Chen was also shocked when he stared at the Mountain because its height reached into the clouds, even when compared to the highest Mountain on earth, Phoenix Mountain was definitely higher.

The Phoenix Mountain looked a little terrifying as its peak was constantly spitting out hot lava. Even from a very distant place, it was clearly visible.

But the lava did not reach the foot of the mountain due to the height of Phoenix Mountain.

Before Jian Chen and Xiao Yu wanted to speak again, a huge explosion occurred at the peak of Phoenix Mountain, the mountain erupted with browbeat that made hot lava crashing over, to even more distant places.

But when it reaches a certain point, it immediately freezes and then the ice chunks fall back into the crater. This was also the reason why Phoenix Mountain was safe enough, and was not considered a natural threat due to the absence of danger although it was possible that the cultivators living around Phoenix Mountain were still wary.

“It seems that Mount Phoenix is quite safe even though its peak is a very dangerous place. Come Xiao Yu, we will go to one of the cities around Phoenix Mountain to look for useful information regarding Phoenix Mountain.

“Yes, it seems that Mount Phoenix is a place worth exploring. The place is quite interesting.” Xiao Yu immediately agreed and followed Jian Chen.

It was not until half an hour later that Jian Chen and Xiao Yu came closer to one of the cities that was not too big, even so, Jian Chen was able to track down that there were some powerful figures in the small town that could almost be said to be an extremely vast village.

The population in the small town reaches a lift of about 500 people so it is worthy of being considered a city.

“Hey look, there seem to be two young men coming to this small town. It's really rare. Both are pretty strong. Hey, don't you guys want to ask for an entrance fee?” One of the young men who was sitting near the entrance to the small town spoke and stared at his two comrades.

These three were quite talented young men from the small town. That said, they were like thugs in a small town. The three of them were also strong, with the cultivation levels of the eighth and seventh stage Martial Masters.

The reason the two said Jian Chen and Xiao Yu were quite strong, was because Jian Chen and Xiao Yu were suppressing their strength to become lower, namely the fourth stage Martial Master level. It is also an exercise to control qi.

If one had been able to suppress his qi until it was not felt anymore, it could be certain that their qi control had reached a fairly high level.

As Jian Chen and Xiao Yu approached, the two raised their eyebrows respectively as they stared at the three young men around 20 years old coming towards them.

“Hey, where are you going?” One of them immediately asked when he came before Jian Chen and Xiao Yu.

“Do we have to report when want to go anywhere?” Jian Chen asked in astonishment.

“Ha? You don't seem to know about the rules! Anyone entering Yangwei city, must pay the entrance fee.”

When one of the young men replied to his words, Jian Chen smiled then asked back, “How much does it cost to enter this city?”

The three stared towards Jian Chen and Xiao Yu who seemed to be wearing clothes that were quite expensive so one of them instantly gave a price. “50 gold coins per person!”

Jian Chen almost choked on hearing it, he had originally only thought that the three were asking for one gold coin. Who would have thought that it would be 50 gold coins that were so numerous.

“If we don't pay for it?” Xiao Yu asked who was eager to hit the three.

“If not, you two will know that the world of cultivators is cruel!” Threaten one of them.

From those words alone, Jian Chen understood that the three of them only wanted to rob him and Xiao Yu.

“Beats all three. They are still useful.” Jian Chen's orders.

“Beating..” Before any of them spoke, Xiao Yu who was not even ordinary at fighting used a fist instantly moved.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Cracks!

“Arrrrggghh!” the three cried out in pain as one of their limbs was forcibly broken by Xiao Yu.

Staring at the three lying on the ground surface and looking deeply regretful of provoking him, Jian Chen slowly walked over then crouched down.

“We don't have any gold coins. Are the three of you willing to be our guides in this Yangwei city without getting paid?” Jian Chen asked with a friendly smile on his face that frightened the three of them for kicking steel just for lunch.

“Good! Alrighty! We will be the guides!” The three of them immediately agreed for fear of being beaten again.

Jian Chen smiled faintly because with the help of the three thugs, it took no effort to find a place to gather information about Phoenix Mountain.
