Chu Feng and Song Yuwei were both concealing themselves.
After stepping out of the teleportation formation, they immediately took to the air.
In the end, they arrived at an ancient city.
Though the city's facilities were worn and ancient, its construction was quite unique.
The roads in the city were exceedingly wide — wide enough to be startling.
Perhaps precisely because the roads were so broad, the people within rarely flew through the sky. Instead, they preferred to walk along the roads.
As a result, the city presented a peculiar yet flourishing spectacle.
Walking along the city's roads were martial cultivators of all kinds — humans standing over a meter tall, as well as massive monster clan beings reaching heights of a hundred meters or even several thousand meters.
After all, with roads this wide, members of the monster clan could walk freely without having to assume human form.
"Everything here exudes an aura of the ancient era. Is this a city that was fully preserved from ancient times?" Chu Feng asked curiously.
"Answering Young Master Chu Feng — this ancient city was indeed fully preserved from the ancient era," Song Yuwei replied.
"Because the current City Lord of this city is an excellent host, people from all factions are willing to come here to rest."
"Over time, many settled down and established businesses here, which is how the city came to enjoy such prosperity today."
"Likewise, because of this, the City Lord of this ancient city is able to gather information from all sides, making him extremely well-informed."
"That is why we came here today — to seek information from the City Lord."
Song Yuwei explained.
Chu Feng was not surprised by this.
He had already known that their purpose was to gather intelligence.
After all, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. Since they had come for revenge, it was crucial to understand the strength of their opponents before striking.
Song Yuwei then made her way to the residence of the ancient city's City Lord.
Though the City Lord was a gracious host, not just anyone could request an audience. A large number of guards stood watch outside the City Lord's palace complex.
However, once Song Yuwei produced a token, the guards not only immediately granted them passage but personally escorted the two of them into a magnificent palace to rest and wait.
"The two of you — the City Lord is currently receiving distinguished guests, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while," the guard said.
"We don't have much time to wait here. Please take this and show it to your City Lord," Song Yuwei said.
As she spoke, she produced a copper leaf.
The leaf appeared unremarkable, but the moment the guard saw it, his expression changed dramatically.
"My lords, please wait here. I will notify the City Lord at once."
He accepted the copper leaf and promptly hurried off.
"Elder Yuwei, what was that?" Chu Feng asked curiously.
The leaf had looked ordinary to him, but its significance was clearly anything but.
"Young Master Chu Feng, that leaf is a personal token of the City Lord here. Anyone who possesses it is treated as the most honored of guests."
"And the young lady once saved this City Lord's life while she was alive, so she was one of his most honored guests as well," Song Yuwei explained.
Before long, the palace doors opened and a middle-aged man walked in.
Chu Feng couldn't sense the man's cultivation through the treasures he wore, but from his appearance he seemed like a decent person.
His attire made it clear that this was none other than the master of the city.
When he saw Song Yuwei, shock immediately filled his eyes.
He hurriedly turned around and shut the palace doors tight. Only after ensuring they were sealed did he approach Song Yuwei.
"Lady Yuwei — is it truly you? You're still alive?"
By now, tears had welled up in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"City Lord Liang, I had to leave back then due to certain matters and was fortunate enough to escape the disaster. So I don't actually know the details of what happened."
"Could you tell me — what ultimately became of my Golden Dragon Flame Sect?" Song Yuwei asked.
"Lady Yuwei, so you still don't know what happened to your Golden Dragon Flame Sect?" City Lord Liang asked.
"I don't," Song Yuwei shook her head.
"Lady Yuwei, if that's the case, then you'd best prepare yourself — because your Golden Dragon Flame Sect was completely destroyed by the Situ Spirit Gate."
