Chapter 2436: A glimpse Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Guan Xilin, who sat by the window listening to the conversation, paused as he took the wine cup and looked at the people at the other table. He saw there were several cultivators talking in whispers. “The Demon Lord is so powerful. Who can subdue him? If he cannot be restrained, the continent will be in chaos.” The other cultivator said, shaking his head and sighing. “Who can subdue him? In this vast continent, if even the Four Great Immortal Sects can’t suppress him, who can?” “Haven’t you heard there’s still another news?” Another man said in a hushed voice. “Reportedly, Old Man Tianji once told several prophecies: When the phoenix star appears, an extraordinary soul enters the world. She came from afar, through the heavens and skies, to be the Sovereign of the world. Have you ever heard these words before?” “The Phoenix Star? I’ve heard of it. The Phoenix Star in Old Man Tianji’s prophecy is Bai Qingcheng, the eldest daughter of the Bai clan. It’s said that there was a sign in heaven when she was born. Later on, she was accepted as a direct disciple of the Heavenly Sun Immortal Sect and had a remarkable status.” “That Bai clan’s eldest daughter Bai Qingcheng? That’s incorrect.” Another person shook his head. “The Bai clan was exterminated not long ago. Allegedly the whole clan was killed. As for Bai Qingcheng, I heard she lost the bet to Heavenly Pill Tower’s Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu and became her personal maid. Consequently, Bai Qingcheng’s life was saved. It’s impossible for her to be the Phoenix Star! The Phoenix Star is a person with great luck.” “Do you mean that you know who the Phoenix Star is?” Another cultivator asked, very curious. “Of course.” The cultivator, looking very proud, lowered his voice. “It is said that the Phoenix Star referred to by Old Man Tianji is none but Heavenly Pill Tower’s Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu. This time, when the Demon Clan attacked the Four Great Immortal Sects, all the four sects dispatched their people to ask for Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu’s help.” “Really?” Those cultivators were surprised. “Of course it’s true. My cousin is an insider in the Four Great Immortal Sects. Do you know how famous Heavenly Pill Tower’s Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu is now? The medicinal pills made there are defying nature. As long as you can get the medicine from Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu, even people on the cusp of death can be saved.” After a brief pause, the cultivator added, “What’s more, I also heard that because this time the Demon Lord personally led the devilry cultivators to attack the immortal sects and their goal was set on the Nebula Immortal Sect, the Nebula Immortal Sect sent their people to invite Ghost Doctor to help protect the sect. I tell you, not only Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu’s medical skills and medicinal pills are defying nature, but her cultivation strength is also extraordinary. So, supposedly, only she can fight the Demon Clan.” “How’s that possible? I heard Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu is a woman. In addition, how can she fight against the Demon Clan alone?” While listening to their conversation, Guan Xilin was eating and drinking wine. He shifted his gaze towards the street outside to watch a busy market. It was unknown what he was currently thinking about. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a group of mercenaries walking down the street. One figure among the mercenaries was inexplicably familiar to him. Perplexed, he took out a few gold coins and put them on the table and left with his broadsword. The waiter came over. Seeing that the food and wine on the table were almost left untouched but the guest had already left, he called out, “Guest? Guest...” Leaving the inn, Guan Xilin hurried to the place where the mercenaries had passed, only to find out that they had disappeared. There was a fork road in front of him.. It was not clear which road the mercenaries had taken.
