Davis was on his way back to Karlheinz Strom's crimson palace.

He thought back to the explanation Shirley gave about staying here and cultivating, making it more advantageous to her.

He also agreed as he felt that she could likely gain more compared to training in the sealed space where the lava gave birth to intense fire energy in the underground cave, since like Shirley said, this entire area was more accommodating to the people who bore the Burning Phoenix Blood or the blood of similar magical beasts like the Fire Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird.

After all, it was said that a Burning Phoenix was a descendant from the union of Fire Phoenix and Vermilion Bird.

However, this also brought him a question.

Did this mean that there was also another Fire Phoenix Immortal present somewhere, inherited in the ancient times, cleared out and the Fire Phoenixes all died, while the Fire Phoenix Immortal in the Grand Sea Continent was stuck, undiscovered?

'There should be... Otherwise, it doesn't make sense...'

Davis mused as he returned to Elder Karlheinz Strom's Crimson Palace.

He phased through the palace walls and saw his soul body chatting with Elder Karlheinz Strom.

"Haha! Sure! Sure! I was honored to show you around, and since you're leaving in the early morning, I'll show you the way out."

"Yes, I thank Elder Karlheinz for being receptive and welcoming."

They both clasped hands while the Solitary Soul Avatar superimposed with the soul body before the soul body seamlessly receded into him, replenishing a tiny bit of his soul force.

Elder Karlheinz Strom raised his brows as he felt that something was different, but he then inwardly shrugged as he couldn't find any anomalies.

Davis continued chatting, gradually knowing more about the Burning Phoenix Ridge and becoming interested in many topics such as the people residing here, their achievements, and so on. It was not long before dawn arrived.

"Ah... It's already morning... It's your cue, Feng."

"Right..." Davis nodded as they both stood up.

They left the crimson palace and flew through the Crimson Ridge Gate.

Saying their goodbyes, Davis left the Burning Phoenix Ridge, heading back to the Alstreim Family. It took him about an hour to make a round trip, giving the resources to the main body, who was still indulging in Evelynn's voluptuous body.

Davis knew that his High-Level Law Manifestation Stage Essence Gathering Cultivation had now increased by thirty percent with Evelynn's constant showering of her yin essence on him. It was unknown how many times he drank her sweetness. Her vitality was large, continually giving him more benefits than he gave her as she also converted his yang to yin before sending it to him.

Natalya was sincerely learning the Rapturous Soul Aroma Manual and the Physical Soul Superimposing Technique in it while Fiora was reading the Yin-Yang Merit Sutra for the first time after picking up a suitable Wind Elemental. It was unknown what their progress was as he hadn't checked yet, but if they finished or reached a satisfactory level, they would gradually come out looking for him.

Until then, Davis craved Evelynn as if his lust could never be satisfied, while the boost in Essence Gathering Cultivation he received from her was also great. It was more than what he could absorb and digest from a spirit stone, and this also constituted a tremendous reason why dual cultivation was immensely popular.

Of course, they were one of the unique cases where both had high vitality. If not, their cultivation efficiency would be lower. Moreover, unless Davis reached the Law Dominion Stage, he knew that their dual cultivation efficiency wouldn't decrease by much.

Nevertheless, the Solitary Soul Avatar once again reached the Burning Phoenix Ridge's Crimson Ridge Gate.

"Greetings, fellow cultivators! I have been invited by Top Disciple Shirley to the Burning Phoenix Ridge. I wonder if anyone can call her here for her to invite me inside?"

"Who is this foolish person brazen enough to call one of our prized gems and even go far enough to daydream about meeting her...? Are you blind!?"

One of the four armored guardians stepped out from on top of the ridge gate, their cultivations blazing at the high-level of Law Sea Stage trying to cast an immense pressure on Davis!

*Bzzz!~*

Tremendous pressure surged from out of nowhere suddenly, instantly overwhelming their undulations as it pushed through, reaching their bodies in an instant as it tried to suppress them but dissipated upon contact!

"!!!"

The four guards all simultaneously had their heads creased, looking offended before their eyes shot wide.

"A Soul King!!!"

They simultaneously screamed as they became deeply shocked!

The red-haired guard who stepped out wasn't scared, but he no longer dared to slight the Soul King either! He clasped his hand and slightly bowed as he looked at the blue-haired youth who stood with an indomitable disposition, his sharp black eyes calmly looking at him.

"Greetings, fellow cultivator. That was rude of me to assume and provoke. Let me go get-"

"There's no need for that, seniors."

A female voice suddenly echoed far and wide, causing everyone to turn their heads and look at the incoming figure.

"Top disciple Shirley!"

The red-haired guard became astonished before he understood what was going on and retreated.

*Vrmmm!~*

The sound of flames searing suddenly echoed before a figure appeared out of nowhere. However, Davis saw that it was from inside the Crimson Ridge Gate.

A middle-aged red-haired man who looked wizened up appeared in between him and Shirley.

"Grand Elder Newgate..."

Shirley clasped her hands, giving a bit of respect as she articulated.

"Child, do you know this person? Not any Soul King can be allowed into the Burning Phoenix Ridge. You should know how easy it is to-"

"I am well aware, Grand Elder Newgate. However, I feel uneasy being the target of a false accusation ever since I came out of the mini-realm. I feel the need to privately defend myself and so, decided to ask this esteemed soul cultivator to protect me."

"Oh...? You hired a protector...?"

Grand Elder Newgate raised his brows before he gave a long look at the blue-haired youth. He couldn't garner the other party's Essence Gathering Cultivation, leaving him a bit dumbfounded. Moreover, the soul force he sensed had its prowess almost at the peak level, and yet it was different like he had never seen before.

He couldn't even realize that he had sensed a Supreme Soul Stage version of it just a day ago because he hadn't noticed much then.

"Why don't you just relay your worries to the Sect Master and ask for one of the Grand Elders to be your protector? Bringing in an outsider to protect yourself is dangerous, not to mention you are a woman. We will be unable to do anything in case this Soul King decided to scheme against you in your own crimson palace."

He couldn't help but advise Shirley using soul transmission.

"Thanks for the warning, Grand Elder Newgate. However, I trust this man over here more than any Grand Elder who could be assigned to protect me. Forgive me for my bluntness and rudeness, but Grand Elder must know that every single man here in the Burning Phoenix Ridge, regardless if they are Grand Elders or workers, sees me as something to obtain."

Grand Elder Newgate's expression became slightly ugly before he shook his head, "Isn't he a man, too?"

"A man without a greedy need for my yin..."

"Do as you wish, child."

Grand Elder Newgate closed his eyes. His legs moved while fiery flames appeared as he shot back into the ridge gate.

"..."

Both Davis and Shirley saw him retreating back before it disappeared.

Shirley felt a bit bad as she had just included Grand Elder Newgate among that list. Likely, Grand Elder Newgate felt that he had no face left after that, and it was her freedom to hire people to protect herself unless they were of the wicked path, so he decisively left.

Nevertheless, she didn't regret it as she looked at the blue-haired handsome man who had a different facial feature that sported a short black beard.

"Chu Feng, was it?" Shirley giggled.

"Indeed... It is I, Chu Feng..." Davis deeply smiled.

Shirley wanted to punch him in his gut for twisting the name just like that, but he advised her that it would create a double-layered identity protection for himself.

They might possibly suspect that he was Feng Chu who came in disguised with a Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage Cultivation instead of another person, leaving them totally confused as to who he was at the end, creating an additional layer of protection.

Although Davis felt bad for Elder Karlheinz, when it came to his family and wives, he felt that he could sacrifice anything to protect them!

"Elder Chu Feng, please follow me..."

Shirley spoke with an alluring smile on her face before she turned, her back visible to him as she flew forwards. Davis appreciated the sight of her sexy outline visible ever so slightly as he followed her into the Burning Phoenix Ridge.

As he entered through the Crimson Ridge Gate, he could sense thousands of gazes directed at him and Shirley, full of envy and jealousy, even lust.

*Bzzz!~*

He directly released his Low-Level King Soul Stage soul force undulations that made ten thousand pairs of eyes shut close as they felt a bout of fear rocking their hearts, realizing that the one following top disciple Shirley was a Soul King!

Who was he? And why was someone like him here!?

These questions echoed in their minds as a few of them began to scramble to report!

Shirley saw several of them reacting strangely. She instantly knew that her man had already begun to punish other people, no matter if they may be men or women, for looking at her wrongly! It gave her a deep sense of satisfaction!

'How powerful...! Who is that Chu Feng!? His soul force's intensity is practically at the High-Level King Soul Stage!'

Grand Elder Newgate doubted his own senses before, but he could now clearly sense this protector's prowess.

'Wait... Chu Feng? Where have I heard this before...?' He descended into contemplation as he felt like he had heard this name somewhere.
