Fire Phoenix Palace.

Inside the throne room of the Fire Phoenix Palace, the Sun Demi-God sat quietly on her throne chair while being in a daze.

She's been like that ever since she got back from the inner garden and had the little talk with Ling Chen. It was unknown what she was thinking about. However, she had a desolate look on her face.

Creak!

While the Sun Demi-God was still lost in thought, the door of the throne room was suddenly pushed open as Princess Ziyi walked in.

At the same time, the Sun Demi-God suddenly jolted awake and regained her usual noble and imperial bearing.

"Is everything ok Ziyi?" Asked the Sun Demi-God as soon as Princess Ziyi walked in.

She knew that Ziyi wouldn't dare to barge into within her throne room unannounced unless she had something urgent to report.

"Master, they all went out."She answered anxiously.

" What!"

"Except for Young Master Ling and the Nine-Headed Hydra Demon Beast, they others went out sightseeing in the city." She added.

"Ohh shit!" Blurted out the Sun Demi-God.

"Quickly send words to the Four Great Families as well as all the other prominent people in the city to avoid them and not provoke them in any circumstances, especially the ones in the commercial district."

"It's also the same for the inner as well as the outer members of my Imperial family. Anyone who meets them must back down."

"No one is allowed to provoke them. If any of them dare to offend them, they should immediately commit suicide and not involve the whole family because even I won't be able to save them." Gravely ordered the Sun Demi-God.

Even though she was an aloof existence and rarely meddled in the affair of the city, she was aware of everything that was going on in the city.

She knew about the overbearing and arrogant attitude of the people from the Four Great Families as well as her own imperial family, especially the young ones.

She knew how the oppress and suppress the weak and exploited them for their own benefits. With her power and status, she considered herself beyond these people and didn't meddle in their affair.

Though she might seem like a bad person, she didn't see herself that way. The cultivation or mortal world itself wasn't just and was fundamentally unreasonable, and naturally, there was no true fairness.

The only rule governing this world is survival of the fittest: The strong lives while the weak dies. Only by being strong one could have power over others and prevent them from being controlled by others.

It was also the main reason that despite her status that she had to meddle in the affair of the city for the first time in a long time. She could not afford to provoke Ling Chen and his group.

Whether it was Ling Chen or his group, they were all a ticking bomb and any wrong move could bring about destruction. As such, she didn't want anyone to antagonize them and bring about a catastrophe upon herself and the city.

Meanwhile, Princess Ziyi below didn't say anything as she quietly and attentively listened to her master.

She didn't think her master was a coward for taking this prevention as she was also well aware of just how terrifying Ling Chen and his group were.

"Don't worry master, I am on it." Respectfully answered Princess Ziyi before she quickly left to relay her master's message.

"Let's hope it's not too late." Murmured the Sun Demi-God as she watched Princess Ziyi.

...

The Commercial district of Fire Phoenix City was located in the Western part of the city and was considered as the most bustling and lively place throughout the city.

It was filled with many large estates and buildings, whose owners had exalted statuses throughout Sun Demi-God's Domain and even the whole Heaven Suppression Region.

Almost all the supreme clans and powerful merchants organization set up branches here as it was the capital city of the whole Sun Demi-God's Domain.

After entering, anyone would be affected by its bustling atmosphere. There were so many people as they had to walk shoulder to shoulder.

Aside from that, one could see a variety of races in this city, but of course, humans were the most abundant.

One could see beastmen and even demon beasts that had already gone to their transformation. They all came for one purpose and that was to either buy and sell treasures or other merchandise.

Also, regardless of gender or age, nearly everyone carried varied levels of true qi energy.

The Commercial district of Fire Phoenix City was so popular that there was even a saying about;_There's nothing a person couldn't buy in the Commercial district of Fire Phoenix City, there's only one lacking money.

"This place is so crowded and noisy. I feel like killing all of those annoying ants. Also, I don't like the way they are looking at me." Blurted out Ling Shen with a look of disgust on her face as she was strolling through the streets of the commercial district along with Ling Lei and the others.

Unlike when the first time they came to the city, they didn't hide their appearance with a black cloak anymore. As such, their true appearance could be seen by everyone, whether it was their long horns, red hair, and pure golden eyes. Because of that, they have attracted the attention of the crowd.

"Sister Shen, please restrain yourself. I thought you wanted to see how humans live. If you just kill them, you won't be able to see it." Quickly answered Fang Lan as he tried to calm her down.

Fang Lan wasn't the least surprised by Ling Shen's words. To them, whether it was human or demon beasts, they were nothing but livestock. They could kill them whenever they felt like it.

This feeling was due to her being a higher form of life than the rest. It was like the superiority humans have over the livestock and other animals.

If it wasn't for Ling Chen that forbid them from wantonly killing humans, they would have turned the whole Heaven Suppression Region upside down by now. It was also one of the reasons Ling Chen had chosen the Divine Demon Beast Region as a training ground for them instead of the Heaven Suppression Region.

As matter of fact, even himself, a human being, sometimes felt like the fellow humans around him were nothing but ants, and their very presence offended and disgusted him.

Furthermore, the more he used it his dark power, the stronger that feeling became. It was also the reason that he didn't look surprised when she heard Ling Shen's words.

That feeling of absolute supremacy and the wish to exterminate the lower lifeforms on a whim was countless times stronger in them than him.

It wasn't about good or evil. It was just plain instincts to not care about the life of a weaker form of life. It's just like a human didn't care for an ant or a sheep.

The only reason they were able to suppress those feelings was because of Ling Chen's words. It was like fighting against their basic instincts. However, Ling Chen's command was like a supreme order or law that none of them could disobey or violate.

"Yeah, listen to Fang Lan's words Ling Shen. Also, it was you and Ling Rui that wanted to go outside so behave yourself." Ling Lei added with a stern expression on his face.

"I know! I know! I was just talking." Answered Ling Shen with a bored look on her face.

After strolling in the streets for about twenty to thirty minutes, they suddenly stopped in front of a giant and luxurious building. This building seemed to be the most luxurious and tallest building throughout the whole commercial district.

"This place seems nice. Why don't we check it out." Uttered Ling Shen with a slight smile on her face.
