Xu Zimo and Jiuyou left the Nine Heavens Emperor Sect. Not long after descending Nine Heavens Mountain, they were surrounded by a group of people.
These people all wore azure-blue robes, with a white holy son emblazoned on their backs.
"World Emperor Sacred Sect," Jiuyou immediately recognized their attire.
"Young Master Lin, our sect's Holy Maiden wishes to invite you for a visit. Would you be willing?" the leading disciple asked with a smile.
"What is it about?" Xu Zimo asked with a smile.
"The Holy Maiden did not say. We are merely delivering her message," the leading disciple replied.
"What if I refuse to go?" Xu Zimo continued.
"The Holy Maiden said she would not force you. But if you wish to learn more about the Devil Race, you should still meet with her," the disciple replied.
"Where is she?" Xu Zimo asked.
"Fire Phoenix City," the leading disciple replied.
"Then let's go take a look," Xu Zimo said with a smile, following that disciple toward Fire Phoenix City.
"Did you already know she would come looking for you?" Jiuyou asked from beside him.
"More or less," Xu Zimo nodded.
After entering Fire Phoenix City, they went directly to an inn.
There were no guests in the inn. Only Huangfu Hao and Huangfu Xian Yue, the brother and sister, sat there leisurely drinking tea.
"Brother Lin, long time no see," Huangfu Hao said as he turned around with a faint smile.
Xu Zimo nodded slightly and sat down nearby with Jiuyou.
Huangfu Xian Yue waved her hand, and the group of disciples went out to stand guard at the inn's entrance.
"Miss Huangfu, why did you ask me here?" Xu Zimo asked.
"Young Master Lin, tell me first—are you a member of the Devil Race?" Huangfu Xian Yue asked
