Chapter 423 Little Fox 1 is completely confused?
"Why?" Long Chuqing asked, puzzled.
"Didn't I just say that he has lived for tens of thousands of years? Now his lifespan is coming to an end. For the past ten years or so, he has been in seclusion, trying to break through the bottleneck in his cultivation. So only by successfully breaking through the realm can he continue to extend his lifespan, but..."
Thinking of all the hardships she had endured while cultivating in the Heavenly Void Abyss, Lü Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Grandpa Goat has lived for tens of thousands of years and traveled all over the world, but a little demon like him can probably only live for a thousand years!
Speaking of their impending death, Fei Feng and Feng Yu thought of Sheng Huang, who had ascended to immortality because her lifespan had run out.
Fei Feng and Feng Yu both showed a look of sorrow on their faces and took a sip of tea in unison.
Seeing that they were both in low spirits, Long Chuqing knew that they were thinking of Shenghuang.
"Don't be sad. In fact, the Holy Phoenix has not left. She is you, and you are her."
Long Chuqing patted Feng Yu's shoulder beside him, while looking at Fei Feng opposite him.
Upon hearing Long Chuqing's words, their eyes instantly brightened, and their mood improved as well.
“Yes!” Feng Yu nodded: “That’s right, Sheng Huang has not left. She has always been with us.”
How could she have forgotten!
They also have another feather left by the Holy Phoenix, which means that the Holy Phoenix has always been with them.
Fei Feng nodded and said, "Yes, we must live longer in place of Sheng Huang. This is what she entrusted to us."
Long Chuqing smiled with satisfaction: "That's the right way to think about it!"
"Anything else?" she asked, looking at Lü Yuan.
"Of course there is!"
Lü Yuan also snapped out of her brief depression. There was no point in thinking too much right now; the important thing was to live each day to the fullest.
"There's also Grandpa Turtle who lives on Beishui Street. He's lived for a very, very long time. Hmm! I don't know his exact age. He knows a lot about Tianxu Abyss. You can't go wrong by looking for him."
"This old turtle loves treasures, lots and lots of treasures. If you want to see him, you have to give him gifts. If you don't give enough, you might not even get to see him. Oh, by the way," Green Yuan grinned, "Old turtle also loves to drink. If the three of you want to find him and get some information, you can buy a few jugs of good wine at my shop and take them with you, hehe!"
Green Yuan didn't forget to promote her own wines; she really is a competent shop assistant.
Long Chuqing: "Okay, thank you for letting us know. We've got it."
Green Yuan then told the three of several more people about their identities and places where they could gather information.
"Then do you know the identity of the city lord?" Feng Yu asked.
Upon hearing this question, Lü Yuan cautiously looked around and lowered her voice: "Guest, I don't know much about the city lord, and I have never met him in person. I only know that he is highly powerful and that all the restrictions in the city were created by him."
This means that there might be eavesdropping spells within the restrictions, so be careful of being overheard. It's best not to discuss the city lord.
"If the guest has nothing else to attend to, then I will go and attend to other matters."
Lü Yuan seemed unwilling to say more, and left in a hurry after saying goodbye.
It was as if saying another word would bring disaster.
After Lü Yuan withdrew, Fei Feng tapped her fingers lightly on the table a few times, and an almost invisible sound-absorbing array enveloped the three people and the fox.
“She seemed hesitant to speak much about the city lord. Could it be that the title of city lord is a taboo subject within the city, something that cannot be mentioned?” Fei Feng looked at the little fox. “Little fox, why don’t you… tell us the ins and outs of this?”
Long Chuqing and Feng Yu both turned their gazes toward the little fox.
The little fox had just picked up a piece of meat that was fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when it suddenly raised its head after receiving the gazes of the three people.
Why is everyone staring at it?
It just wants to enjoy the food in silence and doesn't want to participate in the discussion.
But faced with the three people's gazes, it had no choice but to quickly chew and swallow the meat.
"Well... what Sister Rabbit Fairy said earlier should be true. I've also heard about Grandpa Goat and Grandpa Turtle's deeds, but I don't have any interest in finding out information, so I don't know much about them."
"I know even less about the city lord." Even with the soundproof array in place, Xiao Li's voice was still very soft. "As for whether talking about the city lord is taboo, I don't think so. After all, the city lord's strength and prestige are there for all to see. I think most of the creatures living in the city still respect him, which is why they are unwilling to talk about him with others."
"Furthermore, if you want to continue living in the city, you can't offend the city lord. In addition, the city lord has great power, and if you speak ill of him in private, you might be overheard by someone with ulterior motives and bring trouble upon yourself."

Meanwhile, deep within a magnificent palace in the heart of the city.
Inside the hall, on a dragon-carved throne cast from a single piece of dark black fine stone, a man dressed in a dark brocade robe with a cold and stern face was lazily leaning back.
His eyes were closed, and his left hand was casually resting on his forehead.
An invisible pressure emanated from him, making people hesitant to approach even while he was resting.
Suddenly, the man on the seat slowly opened his eyes. A hint of surprise flashed across his dark golden eyes, and then his thin lips curved slightly, a deep smile spreading from the corner of his lips to the depths of his eyes.
This person is the city lord Li Jin, whose true form is a dragon that has cultivated for a thousand years, and is only one step away from transforming into a true dragon.
Just now, through the barrier array set up in the city, he sensed a special existence among countless lives.
It was an aura somewhat similar to his.
“More than a thousand years…” he sighed.
He should have transformed into a dragon a thousand years ago, but he mistakenly entered this secret realm.
This place is not only harsh in environment and lacking in resources, but also faces numerous obstacles in cultivation, making it extremely difficult to break through to new realms.
Li Jin gathered his thoughts and slowly sat up straight.
He raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air, and a clear water mirror slowly appeared before his eyes. As the mirror surface shimmered, scenes of all sizes within the city of Youtu appeared one by one.
"Swish, swish, swish!" Images rapidly changed within the water mirror.
There are bustling scenes of people walking on the streets, scenes of buying and selling, scenes of labor, figures cultivating, and scenes of conversation in restaurants, etc.
Finally, the camera focuses on Long Chuqing and his two companions walking down the street.
"Ok?"
Almost simultaneously, Long Chuqing and the other two sensed a spying gaze watching them from behind.
The three of them stopped in their tracks.
Little Fox's head bumped into Phoenix Feather's leg with a "thud!"
Long Chuqing and Fei Feng turned around at the same time and created an isolation barrier in the air.
Pedestrians were puzzled by Long Chuqing and Fei Feng's sudden strange behavior; some avoided them, while others stopped to watch out of curiosity.
"What, what's wrong?" Little Fox looked around, immediately becoming alert.
Long Chuqing's expression remained unchanged: "Let's go first."
The three exchanged glances in tacit understanding, and then continued walking forward without making a sound.
Little Fox was completely confused, but still followed closely behind.
