Chapter 888: Chapter 888: Peace Square
"Oh no! That’s a Level 2 demon, the Red Blood Demon Eagle!"
Fan Yan’s expression suddenly changed, and he shouted urgently.
"You go first, I’ll hold it off for a while!"
The Ghost Emperor’s figure suddenly soared into the air, and a scythe emitting a dark light appeared out of nowhere in front of him. He slashed fiercely toward the direction of the Red Blood Demon Eagle!
The next second, the Red Blood Demon Eagle let out a sharp screech, and large swathes of crimson blood poured down like rain from the sky.
With that, the Red Blood Demon Eagle went completely berserk.
A dragon-shaped storm of bloody winds suddenly formed in the void, surging towards the Ghost Emperor!
"Brother Zhu, this Red Blood Demon Eagle is a Level 2 demon, something we can’t contend with right now. We should leave quickly."
As he spoke, Fan Yan casually waved his hand, and a low-grade flying Immortal Device emitting a dim light appeared before Zhu Fei.
Zhu Fei also knew that the current situation wasn’t the time to be stubborn.
He took one last look at the Ghost Emperor and the Red Blood Demon Eagle locked in fierce battle, gritted his teeth, and, together with Fan Yan, boarded the low-grade flying Immortal Device, soon disappearing from the original place.
...
About an hour later, Zhu Fei and Fan Yan stopped their Escape Light on a deserted ruin.
Zhu Fei glanced at Fan Yan and asked with slight concern, "Brother Fan, do you think Brother Ghost Emperor will be alright?"
Fan Yan nodded and was about to answer when suddenly, a dark light flew over from a distance, it was indeed the Ghost Emperor himself.
The Ghost Emperor’s face looked slightly pale, and his aura was a bit unstable, having apparently sustained some injuries.
He first nodded towards Zhu Fei with a smile, then turned to Fan Yan and said, "Brother Fan, we must go to Peace Square quickly now. I only temporarily inflicted a heavy injury on the Red Blood Demon Eagle just now. If it recovers, it will probably come looking for us again."
Saying this, the Ghost Emperor looked at Zhu Fei with a smile and said, "I wonder how Brother Zhu plans to proceed? Would you like to join us on our journey?"
Upon being asked, Zhu Fei thought for a moment and quickly agreed.
He had no choice; just arriving in this unfamiliar world, knowing nothing about the place, it was best to have someone guide the way.
Besides, after spending some time together, he had a good impression of both the Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan, and if there were any issues, he could also consult them for some initial understanding.
Seeing Zhu Fei agree, the Ghost Emperor said no more, and the three of them boarded the flying Immortal Device, promptly disappearing from there.
...
"Brother Ghost Emperor, may I ask, what is this Peace Square you mentioned earlier?"
On the way, after much contemplation, Zhu Fei finally asked the Ghost Emperor this question.
Hearing Zhu Fei’s question, a hint of surprise flashed across the Ghost Emperor’s face, and he couldn’t help but ask back, "Brother Zhu, are you saying you’ve never heard of Peace Square in Chaotic City?"
It was clear that the Ghost Emperor had some doubts seeing Zhu Fei unfamiliar with Peace Square.
Seeing this, Zhu Fei finally gritted his teeth and cupped his hands to the Ghost Emperor again:
"To be honest, Brother Ghost Emperor, I only ascended to the Immortal Realm just over a month ago, and I’m not only unaware of Peace Square but also don’t know much about Chaotic City. I did hide this earlier, and I hope Brother Ghost Emperor will understand."
Zhu Fei didn’t mention that he had just ascended and came directly to Chaotic City because he instinctively felt that this matter was not simple.
Although he thought well of the Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan, it was best to keep some matters to himself.
The Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan did not doubt Zhu Fei’s words and expressed smiles instead.
The Ghost Emperor nodded towards Zhu Fei with a smile, then said, "So that’s how it is. I won’t hide it from you, Brother Zhu, the truth is, when we first saw you, we more or less guessed your situation.
After all, in this Immortal Realm, there are indeed not many cultivators who haven’t fully converted their Immortal Essence, and with the pills you later gave us, we were only more convinced of your situation."
With that, the Ghost Emperor smiled again and continued:
"Since you didn’t disclose your situation then, we didn’t pry. Now that everything is open, there’s nothing for us to hide either."
Thus, the Ghost Emperor explained the matters concerning Peace Square and the situation in Chaotic City to Zhu Fei.
It turns out that Chaotic City is actually a ruin left behind from the ancient battles between immortals and demons.
Here, the rules of heaven and earth are chaotic, demons and monsters abound, and most cultivators and immortals cannot sense any of nature’s spiritual energy.
At the same time, the blood and energy of cultivators and immortals attract the covetousness of the demons here.
Therefore, upon entering Chaotic City, cultivators need to mentally prepare for the possibility of sudden demon ambushes or attacks.
Peace Square was created by several powerful immortals in response to this situation.
In Peace Square, cultivators no longer have to worry about unwarranted demon attacks; it’s the only pure land in Chaotic City.
Peace Square is also a place where cultivators can sell demon materials, rest, and purchase various items.
Simply put, as long as you can enter Peace Square, your safety is relatively assured.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fei finally gained a more detailed understanding of his current environment.
He seized the opportunity to ask the Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan more questions.
The Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan were quite open and shared what they knew about the Immortal Realm with Zhu Fei without reservation.
Time slowly passed during their conversation.
Fortunately, they weren’t far from Peace Square now; otherwise, who knows what dangers they might have encountered along the way.
After roughly half a day, under the guidance of the Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan, Zhu Fei finally arrived at a massive city gate.
From the outside, the gate exuded great majesty, carrying an imposing and inviolable aura, with the words "Peace Square" glowing prominently in the void!
Behind the gate, a mysterious light barrier completely covered the view, making it impossible to see what’s beyond the barrier.
Following the Ghost Emperor and Fan Yan, Zhu Fei had just reached the city gate when a guard clad in golden armor swung an axe to block their path.
He said in an extremely calm tone, "To enter the city, each person needs to pay one hundred low-grade Immortal Crystals. The three of you will need to pay three hundred low-grade Immortal Crystals in total."
