Chapter 69: We fought heart and soul here, how come it became a tourist attraction in Fuluozhou in your mouth?

Fu Huaian stood quietly at the entrance downstairs, a gentle smile on his handsome face.

Tang Sichen, clad in a magnificent blue robe with a subtle glow, had a refined and amiable expression. Behind him, Xiang An slowly approached the two.

"Junior Tang Sichen greets the esteemed guests."

He naturally bowed towards Yao Qi as he spoke.

Yao Qi, after all, had a request, so her demeanor, though cool, was not arrogant.

"I apologize for disturbing Island Master Tang. I am new to this place and have something to ask."

Tang Sichen's gentle smile remained unchanged, but he muttered inwardly, the Crossing Tribulation Realm male earlier also had something to ask. Could their questions be similar?

He subtly gestured for them to enter the building to discuss further.

Fu Huaian and Yao Qi followed Tang Sichen into the building, ascending the stairs to a tea room on the third floor.

The room was quite elegant, with the fragrant scent of Spirit Tea and refined decorations.

After the four were seated, Xiang An smiled faintly, remaining silent.

Tang Sichen poured a cup of mellow Spirit Tea for Yao Qi and Fu Huaian, his attitude humble and friendly.

He turned his gaze to Yao Qi and gently asked:

"Senior, what would you like to ask?"

Fu Huaian picked up his Spirit Tea, a serene smile on his face.

Tang Sichen's politeness was thorough but he didn't give him much importance, which he understood, as strength was revered.

His Tai Xu Realm Middle Stage strength might not catch his Dharma Eye, but if they truly fought, two Tang Sichen would die instantly.

After two Lightning Tribulation Body Tempering sessions, coupled with his extremely solidified Cultivation, Fu Huaian's current strength and Realm were extremely mismatched. He could completely disregard ordinary Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators.

Yao Qi sat quietly, stating calmly:

"I want to know what kind of place the Longheng Islands truly is, and how to leave here."

Xiang An lowered his head and sipped his tea, remaining silent.

Tang Sichen chuckled softly, quickly thinking to himself. It seemed these two and the previous one were from the same group.

This was truly a bizarre occurrence. Given the special nature of the Longheng Islands, how could anyone arrive here on their own accord?

The Longheng Islands covered a vast territory, with tens of millions of Cultivators, but most of them were merely "nourishment."

Outsiders were even more certain to die. The higher their Cultivation, the higher their value, and naturally, the faster they died.

Tang Sichen looked at Yao Qi and smiled:

"The Longheng Islands is a place of exquisite scenery in the northern part of Fulong Province, with tens of millions of Cultivators. The Dragon Cities on the five main islands are even more magnificent, and the central Saint Flame City has millions of Cultivators, bustling and grand…"

Fu Huaian frowned upon hearing this. What he saw outside was all heart-wrenching fighting, so how did it become a tourist destination in Fulong Province in his words?

Yao Qi also felt a surge of vigilance and directly interrupted Tang Sichen:

"Your South Xiang Island doesn't seem like a peaceful place. From what I've seen along the way, fighting is everywhere. It doesn't look like a place where one can Cultivate peacefully."

Tang Sichen's breath hitched, and his face was full of shame:

"Some Cultivators are too unruly, and Tang is of low strength, so my management is poor…"

Tang Sichen sighed inwardly. He wasn't mismanaging; he was intentionally condoning it. At his position as Island Master, he already knew some secrets.

The "Saint Flame" in the central Saint Flame City devoured the Souls of the Longheng Islands every day.

To survive in the Longheng Islands, one must frantically improve their Cultivation.

Otherwise, if one reached a certain age and their Cultivation was not high enough, they would be directly fed to the "Saint Flame."

The Five Great Dragon Lords poured countless resources, like raising Gu, allowing Cultivators to fight each other on the Longheng Islands. The Cultivators who died in these battles were the best Souls for the "Saint Flame"!

Only those Souls filled with violent Killing Intent were the best nourishment for the "Saint Flame."

If the numbers were low, they would strengthen management. If the numbers were high, they would release more resources on various islands, and then let them fight freely!

The "Saint Flame" had been fed this way for hundreds of years…

In the Longheng Islands, if you didn't fight, you would die when you reached a certain age. If you fought to seize resources and advance, there was still a glimmer of hope.

After all, the Five Great Dragon Lords said that young Tai Xu Realm Cultivators could be arranged to take a ferry to Fulong Province…

But when a few people reached sufficient Cultivation, entered the Five Great Dragon Cities, and boarded the ferry, who knew if they were truly going to Fulong Province!

Anyway, after so many years, Tang Sichen had never seen a single Tai Xu Realm Cultivator leave and then return!

Tang Sichen had a decent Aptitude and quickly advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, gaining the qualification to work for the Five Great Dragon Lords, otherwise his own fate would have been a dead end.

As for advancing to the Crossing Tribulation Realm?

Tang Sichen smiled bitterly internally. If he dared to advance, he would be directly fed to the "Saint Flame"!

The Dragon Lords are only in the Crossing Tribulation Realm. I am in the Nascent Soul Realm, which allows them to manipulate me. If I were in the Crossing Tribulation Realm, the Dragon Lords would not tolerate me.

Yao Qi did not know the twists and turns of Tang Sichen's inner thoughts. At this moment, she asked again:

"How does one go to Fulong Province?"

Tang Sichen's smile was gentle:

"Go to Saint Flame City, pay a sum of Spirit Stones, and take a large ferry."

Tang Sichen glanced at the two untouched cups of Spirit Tea opposite him, his smile unchanged, but his heart was slightly excited.

Two Crossing Tribulation Realm Cultivators and one Tai Xu Realm Cultivator! The Dragon Lords would surely be especially pleased, and it was not impossible for him to be transferred to Saint Flame City to work!

Then he would be completely worry-free from then on!

Yao Qi and Fu Huaian did not know Tang Sichen's inner thoughts. After a moment of contemplation, Fu Huaian asked with a smile:

"How does one go to Saint Flame City?"

Tang Sichen smiled and pointed upwards:

"There's a teleportation array on the rooftop that leads directly to Saint Flame City, or you can take a flying Magical Artifact, but that would take a longer time."

Yao Qi's Divine Sense had long locked onto the glowing door on the rooftop and had repeatedly investigated it, confirming it was indeed a problem-free teleportation array.

Yao Qi pondered for a moment, then directly said:

"Island Master Tang, please lend us your teleportation array for a moment."

Tang Sichen nodded lightly, rose, and led Yao Qi and Fu Huaian to the rooftop.

The three stood before the glowing white door, and Tang Sichen stood to the side.

"Esteemed guests can go directly to Saint Flame City."

Fu Huaian, being clever, glanced at him and smiled:

"Island Master Tang, you seem quite free. Could you accompany us to Saint Flame City?"

Tang Sichen looked at him with a smile, did not refuse, and turned to enter the teleportation array.

Yao Qi tilted her head to look at Fu Huaian:

"Should we go in?"

Fu Huaian sighed helplessly:

"We have to. Otherwise, we have no other clues whatsoever on how to leave the Longheng Islands.

I don't want to stay in this damned place forever, not even for five or ten years!"

Yao Qi's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her voice soft and charming:

"Why?"

"Alas, let's not talk about it."

Fu Huaian still thought about Aunt Qin and his master's wife. They were both ordinary people and couldn't wait for Fu Huaian for too long.

If he returned and they had aged or even passed away, Fu Huaian would absolutely not be able to accept such a thing happening.

So, even though Tang Sichen was full of doubts, he still had to go to Saint Flame City to investigate and find a way to leave the Longheng Islands.

Yao Qi did not press further and was the first to step into the teleportation array, with Fu Huaian following closely behind.

A flash of glowing white light, and ten breaths later, the two stood in a very spacious stone hall.

The stone hall was entirely earthy yellow, with a massive grey flame floating in the center, countless Soul bodies flickering within it!

The main hall had no other superfluous decorations. Not far away, Tang Sichen's expression was silent, as he quietly watched Yao Qi and Fu Huaian.

After Fu Huaian and Yao Qi entered, their gazes swept around, and they immediately looked in shock at the distance!
