Even though she offered him a ride, he was not actually sitting on top of her. Li Nianfan was standing on the Fire Phoenix’s back.

The phoenix was not small. With its wings outstretched, it was almost ten meters long. Its back was wide with soft feathers. It looked like it was glowing with flames even though it was not hot at all.

Furthermore, even though it was glowing in flames, it was not slippery to stand on. In fact, it was soft and comforting. Most importantly, there was warmth coming from below his feet, as if it had a heating effect. It was more comforting than any carpet ride in the world.

It was the best flying pet!

Li Nianfan called out, “Daji, come on up!”

“Okay.” Daji nodded. She carried the little fox in her arms and got on with Nanan and Dragin.

The Fire Phoenix did not seem to mind. It knew its role was to be a flying pet. Since they were on the same team, it was okay for them to ride her as well.

“Stay put!”

The Fire Phoenix warned them before spreading its wings. It thrusted forward, a flame in the darkness illuminating the sky. It was extremely beautiful.

It was flying rapidly!

It was even a few times faster than the skyship!

Li Nianfan felt his surroundings disappear behind him rapidly. Suddenly, the Fallen Town was right in front of him. With another blink of an eye, the Fire Phoenix had already rushed into the Fallen Town.

Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty had arrived. They were comforting the villagers of the town.

Luckily, the ordinary people in the Immortal Realm were better at taking the shock. Even though they were shocked, they did not seem too panicked as nothing major had happened so far.

“Look, it seems to be…a phoenix!”

“A phoenix from above! Everyone, get down on your knees and worship it!”

“Oh god! A phoenix is coming to my Fallen Town! What’s happening?”

“Cut the nonsense! Everyone, make a wish!”

The appearance of the Fire Phoenix made the Fallen Town livelier than usual. Countless people came out to worship it.

As for the cultivators, they were extremely shocked. Their faces turned pale. They were not as ignorant as the ordinary people. They did not know if this Fire Phoenix was friendly or hostile.

The Holy Emperor was terrified, too. However, when he saw Li Nianfan riding on the Fire Phoenix’s back, he instantly let out a sigh of relief.

He instructed his people, “Everyone, calm down! A big figure’s visiting. Mind your own business and don’t disturb him!”

With that, he hastily rushed over in light with Luo Shiyu.

He greeted, “Greetings to Mr. Li, Miss Daji, Miss Nanan, Miss Dragin.”

“Greetings to the Holy Emperor, Miss Luo.” Li Nianfan smiled and made a gesture. “How’s Miss Luo feeling?”

Luo Shiyu thanked him right away, “Thanks to Mr. Li, I’m almost fully recovered.”

“That’s good,” Li Nianfan nodded.

The Holy Emperor looked at the Fire Phoenix and could not help gulping. He asked, trembling, “Mr. Li, the phoenix below you…”

Li Nianfan smiled, “Oh, Holy Emperor, don’t be afraid. This is a friend. She thinks highly of me, that’s why I had the pleasure of riding her.”

“I see,” The Holy Emperor nodded.

The expert was being so humble. ‘It was you who thought highly of her and gave her a chance to offer you a ride!’

He could not help recalling the little red bird on Li Nianfan’s shoulder the other day, and the woman with red hair and red eyes by his side. He could not see through her at all. Was she the Fire Phoenix?

The likelihood of that was 99 percent!

As expected, the company hanging around the expert was nothing ordinary!

Seeing that the Holy Emperor looked restricted, he smiled and said, “Holy Emperor, the Fire Phoenix is very friendly. You don’t have to stay so far away.”

The Holy Emperor was shocked. He waved it off without hesitating, “Ha-ha, don’t worry, I think it’s good to keep it this way.”

The expert really liked to joke around.

‘Perhaps she’s friendly to you. Even by standing here, I can feel a strong burning Qi coming from her. If I get any closer, I’ll get burned!’

This was the flame of the phoenix! Of course, he had to stay away as far as possible. He must stay alive!

Li Nianfan smiled. He did not insist. He said to Nanan, “Nanan, would you like to look for Auntie Zhang?”

Auntie Zhang was worshipping along with the crowd. The Fire Phoenix was flying high up in the sky. The sky dimmed, swirling repeatedly. Thus, the people were unable to see the figures standing on top of the Fire Phoenix.

Nanan looked below her. She shook her head and said, “No need. As long as my mother’s fine.”

Daji noticed that Li Nianfan was glancing in the direction of the grey smoke. She smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Li, would you like to go over and have a look?”

Li Nianfan looked at the Fire Phoenix below his feet. “This…this is possible. What do you think, Fire Phoenix?”

The Fire Phoenix did not speak. After circling the Fallen Town, it flew toward the grey smoke just like the shooting star.

The Holy Emperor said, “Shiyu, quick! We’re going over, too! As long as we can help the expert in any way, it’d be ideal!”

“Father, I know,” Luo Shiyu nodded hastily. She turned into light and followed swiftly.

Li Nianfan looked at the approaching grey smoke. He took a deep breath as his heart started to beat faster.

Facing the uncertainties, he was suddenly very anxious!

The words ‘Underground’ and ‘Ghost Door’ kept spinning in his head. His heart was thumping loudly.

Gradually, he caught sight of many cultivators. Similarly, they turned to look at the Fire Phoenix in shock. They all staggered a few steps backward.

Meanwhile, Li Nianfan realized that the grey smoke was rapidly spreading out!

As they continued to approach it, they shot into the grey smoke!

Click!

Meanwhile, a skeleton flew into the air. It was gasping wildly, its mouth opening and closing.

However, before Li Nianfan could see clearly, a sword appeared by the side and stabbed the skeleton’s chest. It jolted vigorously and the skeleton instantly turned into powder.

“What was that?” Nanan’s brows furrowed. She was controlling the Heavenly Water Sword among the crowd. She then said to Li Nianfan proudly, “Brother Nianfan, am I clever?”

“Clever indeed,” Li Nianfan nodded. He felt slightly more secure.

He looked ahead and his eyes widened. He cried out in shock, “Fire Phoenix, please, could you stop for a moment?”

The Fire Phoenix stopped and said, “Mr. Li, there’s a strange Qi up ahead.”

“This…can’t be ghosts, could it?” Li Nianfan’s lips parted. He could not help looking around. He had chills all around him.

He did not expect this, he really did not expect this. His trip to this Immortal Realm not only allowed him to meet the Immortals, he even saw this majestic sight of ghosts!

Upon entering the grey smoke, the surroundings had become blurry. There was a faint layer of mist surrounding them. It blurred their vision and gave off an eerie feeling.

Through the mist, he saw a village not far up ahead. It was neither too big nor too small.

Because of the Fallen Town, there were quite a lot of villages around and they were quite prosperous.

Among the layers of mist, there were also all kinds of glows. However, it was mostly green. There was a faint red glow appearing from time to time. Looking from afar, it gave off an eerie vibe.

Through this eerie glow, one could see phantoms floating among them, one after another. They were in the form of humans as well as demons. Some even looked vulgar with twisted expressions. They looked exactly like the ghosts from Li Nianfan’s imagination.

It was a shocking sight, but Li Nianfan was able to stay calm. After all, he had seen these from the movies he watched.

Other than the spirits, there were many skeletons in all shapes. They were floating in the air.

Click! Click! Click!

Amidst the thin fog, a lot of spirits and skeletons rushed out again, rushing toward Li Nianfan.

“Water Purification!”

Dragin’s small hands clenched tightly. She touched both her thumbs and pinkies together and with a pull, two tiny streams shot out from her hands.

With that, she lifted her hands and the streams formed two lines. They grew bigger rapidly, surrounding the crowd like a water ring that spread out in two directions.

Hwa-la!

The stream seemed harmless, but it was like the sharpest knife in the world. Wherever it passed, the ghosts were instantly cut and killed!

Li Nianfan’s eyes sparkled. He could not help praising, “Nicely done!”

It was not only elegantly beautiful, it was so powerful! Who would have thought that a Carp Demon could be so powerful!

Dragin grinned and laughed, “Ha-ha!”

“Hmph! I can slay the ghosts, too!” Nanan scoffed. She turned into light and rushed into the village.

There were already some cultivators inside the village. However, there were even more ordinary people around and unlimited ghosts. They were aggressively attacking the living beings.

A woman with her daughter had nowhere else to run. She was surrounded by many ghosts and she was wailing hopelessly.

“Don’t you dare harm her in front of me!”

Nanan landed from the sky and scoffed, “Swallow Spirit!”

The Heavenly Water Sword drew a curve in the sky. It slashed down rapidly and instantly cleared up its surroundings thoroughly.

“Fun! I want to join!”

Dragin jumped off the Fire Phoenix and landed on the ground. She rushed over happily to save the people.

“You two be careful! Safety comes first!”

Li Nianfan could only stand on the back of the Fire Phoenix to warn them. He rested his hand on the jumpy little fox and said, “You can’t go, you have to protect your sister.”

Meow.

The little fox meowed like a kitten.

‘Does my sister even need my protection? You’re doing this on purpose, hmph!’

“Mr. Li.”

The Holy Emperor used up all his power, finally arriving much later. He rushed over from behind.

“Holy Emperor, you’re here,” Li Nianfan said. “Do you know what caused this?”

“I don’t know either. However, the appearance of these phantoms is quite strange. They’re so twisted and vulgar. This is something only the Evil Cultivators would do. Unless… Someone’s doing such a thing nearby? How daring!” The Holy Emperor furrowed his brows.

To the cultivators, spirits were not something foreign to them. Back then, the Demon Man who captured Nanan was an Evil Cultivator. They would even suck people’s souls out. They even refined evil weapons. However, cultivators like them were very rare nowadays as they were not welcomed.
