It truly is the Phoenix Territory!
Mu Qingge looked at the position Chu Nian pointed out and thought to herself.
"Phoenix Territory?" Chu Nian also recognized the small words engraved on the map at the spot she indicated. Yet, she was surprised to learn where she was headed.
"Could it really be the Phoenix Territory?" Chu Nian murmured.
Mu Qingge gave her a deep look and said to her, "Let’s go in first. After walking for so long, we’ve finally come across a Beast Clan market, let’s rest here for a while."
At that time, words next to the map caught Mu Qingge’s attention.
It read that Hundred Fragrance Collection is the first market after entering Demon Forest from Divine Land. It not only hosts the Beast Clan but also humans who come to Demon Forest for training or to sell Human Clan items. Those who enter must abide by Hundred Fragrance Collection’s rules. Anyone who violates them, no matter who they are, will be eternally barred from entering.
This was a restriction, fitting Beast Clan’s straightforward style nicely.
Entering Hundred Fragrance Collection, Mu Qingge noticed that unlike cities outside with spacious, straight streets, this market had winding roads built along the mountains.
"I heard the streets in Demon Forest markets are pressed by the bodies of the Bear Clan. Those cave dwellings are excavated by the Bear Clan, the tree houses are built by birds, and the residences are constructed by humans doing business here," Chu Nian explained, coming back to her senses, to Mu Qingge.
Though she had never been to Demon Forest, having lived for thousands of years, she still understood more than Mu Qingge.
Two humans entering Hundred Fragrance Collection didn’t attract much attention from the Beast Clan or the Human Clan there. Any extra glances were drawn by Mu Qingge and Chu Nian’s striking appearances, not their Divine Clan identities.
Chu Nian was somewhat distracted, and the market’s items did not pique Mu Qingge’s interest. After wandering the market for a while, they found a human-run inn and rented two rooms.
"Qingge, why did that voice ask me to go to the Phoenix Clan’s territory?" Standing in the corridor outside the room, Chu Nian couldn’t help but ask.
The guide, who had lived in Demon Forest for an unknown amount of time, hearing Chu Nian’s words, kindly warned, "Guests, in Demon Forest, everyone knows the Phoenix Clan’s territory is very exclusive and normally off-limits. If you’re just here for training, it’s better to choose another place and not cause trouble with the Phoenix Clan."
"Is the Phoenix Clan territory difficult to get close to?" Mu Qingge inquired before Chu Nian.
The guide nodded, genuine surprise showing on his honest face, "It’s more than difficult to approach! Without Phoenix Bloodline, anyone who gets close will be burned to death. The Phoenix Clan is both exclusive and protective. If they reason unreasonably, it truly leaves one helpless."
"Alright, thank you very much, brother." Mu Qingge smiled slightly and handed a small piece of Divine Jade to the guide.
The guide received it with great joy, bowing as he backed away.
As he departed, he added a final note of caution, "In Demon Forest, avoid Phoenix Territory, and Dragon Clan territory is inaccessible. Also, note that Mountain Ghosts are a special presence in Demon Forest and must not be desecrated."
With this, he left.
Mu Qingge murmured, "Mountain Ghost?"
Additionally, what does it mean that the Dragon Clan territory is inaccessible?
’It seems this Demon Forest truly is an interesting place.’ Mu Qingge thought to herself and smiled. After being in Demon Forest for so long, Yin Chen should sense her arrival; why has he not come to meet her?
While Mu Qingge was pondering, Chu Nian said, "Qingge, I want to rest inside."
