Chapter 236 Ceremony News
Chapter 236 Ceremony News
Time flies, three months passed quickly, Shi Chen's injuries healed, and finally, the flying boat arrived at the Chiyan Continent.
A lively scene comes into view, with bustling crowds everywhere and the fiery red buildings highlighting the unique style of this place.
Standing on the deck of the flying boat, Peng Xuanbo stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance and saying, "Friend Shi, we're already in the Red Flame Continent. We'll be resupplying in this Immortal City for a while. In a day, the flying boat will continue its flight deeper, heading straight to the Holy City of the Fire Tribe. Thank you for helping me refine the elixirs over the past few months."
Shi Chen frowned slightly and said doubtfully, "Holy City? I've been to the Chiyan Continent before and visited several immortal cities, but I've never heard of a holy city."
Peng Xuanbo turned around and explained with a smile, "The Immortal City where the Huo Lie Tribe's main hall is located wasn't called the Holy City before. After the Huo Lie Tribe unified the Chiyan Continent, they changed the name of the Immortal City to the Huo Lie Holy City."
"I see. I wonder when the Huolie Clan's ceremony will be held?" Shi Chen asked, his hands folded across his chest.
Peng Xuanbo stroked his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully, "There are still three months left. They have invited many sects, including some well-known cultivators. I wonder if you have received any invitations?"
Shi Chen shook his head and said helplessly, "I haven't received an invitation yet. Maybe it's because I've been traveling around the Yuanling Continent and the Chaotic Sea in recent years. Maybe I missed it."
Peng Xuanbo's eyes were firm as he said, "Young friend, you can come with us to experience the customs of the Fire Tribe and learn about the news of the major sects. I heard that 90% of the human clans have gathered together to discuss an attack on Dayu Continent and reclaim the human territory during this Fire Tribe Unification Ceremony."
Shi Chen's face was filled with surprise, his eyes widened as he asked, "I wonder who is leading the organization of this?"
Peng Xuanbo shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "The specific person taking the lead has not yet been determined, but as far as I know, the leaders of several major sects are involved in the planning. I believe that this grand ceremony will be discussed and a conclusion will be reached."
Shi Chen frowned, and after a moment of contemplation, he unconsciously rubbed his chin and said, "This is no small matter. The struggle between the human race and the sea monsters has been going on for a long time. I wonder if we can succeed this time and recapture the Dayu Continent."
Peng Xuanbo sighed deeply and said with a worried look, "This matter is of great importance, and the outcome is unpredictable. But no matter what, the Siren and we will fight again."
Shi Chen nodded and said seriously, "General Peng is absolutely right, but I don't know what role we can play in this."
Peng Xuanbo patted Shi Chen's shoulder and said with encouragement in his eyes, "Let's take it one step at a time. Let's take a good rest in this Red Flame Continent first."
Shi Chen responded, "Okay, then let's get off the flying boat first and find a place to stay." As he said that, he took the lead and walked towards the exit of the flying boat.
Everyone walked out of the flying boat and merged into the lively crowd.
After strolling around for half a day and tasting all kinds of food, the four of them were in a good mood.
They just happened to walk into a restaurant. The lobby was bustling with customers. Shi Chen looked at everyone and said, "We've been walking for so long, why don't we go in and rest our feet and try the special wine and food of the Red Flame Continent."
Everyone nodded and walked into the restaurant together.
The waiter came up to greet them warmly: "Dear guests, please come in!"
Shi Chen found a seat by the window and sat down, saying, "Bring out some of your signature dishes and a few jugs of good wine."
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir!" the waiter responded loudly.
Soon, the food and wine were served one after another. The dishes were delicious in color, aroma and taste, exuding an enticing fragrance.
Shi Chen picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth. After savoring it carefully, he said, "Hmm, it tastes really good."
Liang Ruyan smiled and said, "It's rare to have such leisure time."
Xu Qianying also said: "Yes, it's been a lot of running around along the way."
At this moment, the conversation between several monks at the next table caught Shi Chen's attention.
"I heard that after this Huolie Clan Ceremony, our human race will gather together to discuss attacking Dayu Continent and taking back our territory." A blue-robed monk at the table next to him said in a pretentious manner.
"Is this news true?" the old monk sitting at the same table asked in surprise.
"It's absolutely true. I heard it from the sect elders. Moreover," the blue-robed monk suddenly lowered his voice, looking around for the situation, "and the post-war benefits must be distributed at the Gathering of Righteousness. Divide..."
After Shi Chen heard the latter part, he suddenly couldn't hear the content. He used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that it was the blue-robed monk who set up the restriction.
Shi Chen laughed. He wanted to listen to some rumors and gossip from the outside world, but he was left in the dark.
After a little thought, he decided to give up. If he wanted to get the real news, he should go directly to Peng Xuanbo. The military leader had great influence and would have a seat at the conference, so he would know all the situations.
Huang Qi said: "It seems that this Fire Clan Ceremony is not simple."
Shi Chen said, "Anyway, let's enjoy this meal first and then take things one step at a time. Huang Qi, you've been with General Peng, so you should be more aware of the situation. Don't you know the exact information?"
"I am not responsible for the information channels. I only take care of logistics matters," said Huang Qi.
"That's good. Knowing too much information and secrets will always cause some concerns. Let's not talk about this. Let's have a good meal first. As for the rest, we will go to the Holy City of Fire, find out the good news, and then make plans." Shi Chen said.
In fact, he already had a plan in mind. The Huo Lie Clan unified the Chiyan Continent. Although their clan leader died during the great sacrifice, he rescued Huo Wei at that time. Huo Wei should have a certain status in the Huo Lie Clan. If there is any situation, he can contact her.
Seeing Shi Chen lost in thought, the few people did not disturb him and continued to eat and drink in a harmonious atmosphere.
Half an hour later, everyone walked out of the restaurant and onto the Fairy City Avenue.
Huang Qi said goodbye to a few people and returned to the flying boat to handle office affairs. Looking at Huang Ziying's resentful expression, he couldn't help but sigh, turned around and left alone.
"This Red Flame Continent is indeed as hot as its reputation says." Xu Qianying said, fanning herself with her hands.
"Should we go back to the cabin of the flying boat, or find a place to rent in the fairy city?" Shi Chen said. Although he was immune to cold and heat, he could still feel a little bit of heat.
People walked on the streets, looking for suitable places to live.
"There seems to be a fairy inn over there. It looks pretty good." Liang Ruyan said, pointing to a place not far away.
Everyone walked in the direction she pointed, and saw that the entrance of Xianzhan was bustling with people coming and going.
Shi Chen walked into the inn and said to the innkeeper, "Boss, please give us a few upper rooms."
The shopkeeper looked up at them and said with a smile, "Sir, I'm sorry, there are only two rooms left."
Shi Chen frowned slightly and turned to look at everyone.
Xu Qianying said, "How about my husband and sister share one room, and I and sister Ziying share one."
Shi Chen thought about it and said, "This is the only way."
Everyone took the forbidden jade token and went upstairs to the room.
Shi Chen and Liang Ruyan walked into the room and tidied it up briefly.
