Chapter 669: The One I Was Waiting For



The empty city was choked by Xiang Beifei, and a strange expression appeared on that melancholy face.

"Do you know that my strength is higher than yours?"

"So what?" Xiang Beifei retorted.

"Ordinary cultivators who accidentally intrude here can't survive." The empty city said.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Xiang Beifei seemed unhurried, still calmly drinking his wine.

The air became quiet once again.

After a moment, Xiang Beifei spoke: "You have a lot of questions, ask away!"

Empty City: "???"

Why did these words sound so strange?

Speaking of which, I am the city lord of this empty city, right! Normally, shouldn't I be the one saying these words?

Xiang Beifei continued: "You've always wanted to meet me, haven't you?"

Empty City: "..."

Xiang Beifei suddenly turned the tables, seemingly disrupting his thoughts, leaving him unsure of what to say for a moment.

Weren't these words supposed to be spoken by him as the city lord?

—Cultivators who enter here have a bunch of questions in their minds, then find the city lord and ask a heap of questions first.

According to custom, Empty City would leisurely converse with the guests and then say this impressive line: You have a lot of questions, ask away!

But how come this guy took the questions instead?

He reached out a finger to touch his forehead, organized his thoughts, and soon laughed again.

"How are you so sure I want to meet you? You don't even know who I am." Empty City said.

"Maybe? You don't know me either." Xiang Beifei countered.

Empty City was slightly surprised: "You've heard of me?"

Xiang Beifei smiled without speaking.

He had no idea about this guy's origins, but experience told him how to deal with these ancient monsters living for so long—at least he thought this guy was not simple.

If he simply followed the other party's words, given the opponent's experienced handling, he wouldn't gain any advantage and might end up being led by the nose, or even getting the short end of the stick.

Therefore, Xiang Beifei chose to take the initiative.

He wasn't someone who liked being at a disadvantage; it was better to keep control in his own hands.

As to whether Empty City would want to kill him, Xiang Beifei was not worried.

Because if he really wanted to kill him, this guy wouldn't go through so much trouble to talk to him; he must want to know something about him.

Many people want to know about him.

Xiang Beifei was very confident about that.

Empty City looked at Xiang Beifei thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, then seemed to come to a realization, saying: "Are you bluffing me?"

He wasn't someone to be easily fooled; Xiang Beifei surely couldn't have heard of him from somewhere because this place was very special.

"We both want answers from each other, so why beat around the bush?" Xiang Beifei said.

Empty City nodded appreciatively.

"I've never met someone as interesting as you."

He had to admit that this young man in front of him was very special.

"I can answer some questions for you first. This is called the Fengdu Empty City, I've been waiting for you." Empty City said.

"Waiting for me?"

"Of course, not just you." Empty City shook his head, "But you are the one I most want to wait for."

"Why?"

"Anyone would want to understand an interesting person." Empty City said with a bitter smile.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Xiang Beifei said calmly.

"Nothing in this world is simple. I know you are not a native of the Edge Domain, you come from the other side of the cliff, I have always been very curious about that area where you are."

"Since you're curious, why not go see for yourself?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Empty City shook his head: "Can't go, the cultivators of Edge Domain can't go, unless you find the right Daosheath to possess, otherwise it's easy to have problems."

As he said this, he looked at Xiang Beifei again: "This is when I'm very envious of you, as long as you are strong enough, you can travel between the two places."

"The cultivators of Edge Domain can't go to our place?"

Xiang Beifei found it odd, was there such a restriction?

"Why? Have you met any cultivators from Edge Domain over there?" Empty City countered.

Xiang Beifei did think of someone, strictly speaking, a race.

Old Giant Spirit!

Immediately, he realized that the Giant Spirit Race wasn't truly walking in the wilderness.

The wilderness was too vast, and with the Giant Spirit Race's strength, finding a stable place to live was more than sufficient. But Old Giant Spirit only let his people live in the small place of Bone Mountain and Desert Stone Cave, equivalent to huddling within a formation.

Was this the reason? The Giant Spirit Race could not set foot in the wilderness?

"Why would you have trouble coming to our place? Who can wipe you out?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"You'll understand one day." Empty City said.

This explanation did not satisfy Xiang Beifei.

"Alright, I told you this information, in return, you should answer some of my questions too." Empty City said.

"What do you want to know?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Where does your power come from?" Empty City looked at Xiang Beifei.

"You mean this?"

Xiang Beifei extended his left hand, and a hot white flame emerged from his palm, followed by a cold black flame rising within it.

The two flames, one black and one white, intertwined eerily, winding around each other.

Empty City stared at the two clusters of flame, saying: "This should be the reason why you can walk into this city."

"Others can't enter?"

"They can enter, but they can't survive."

"Did you kill them?"

"No, they killed themselves." Empty City said meaningfully.

Kill themselves?

Xiang Beifei was somewhat surprised.

"How did they kill themselves?"

"They lost themselves in their own past, feared their own past, and couldn't accept it, so they ended their own lives."
