A place with overlapping mountains in the Ten Thousand Demons Domain.
The mountains are high and densely forested. The foot of the mountain and the mountainside are covered with towering ancient trees with thick trunks and dense canopies. However, as they approach the top of the mountain, they suddenly become bare. There is no longer a single tree, not even a single tree.
There are no weeds.
The land is withered and yellow, even a little burnt black, and green smoke is slowly rising.
Near the top of the mountain, there are eighteen figures that may be majestic, domineering, gloomy, or cold.
All of them have cold faces and unwavering eyes, like statues.
Thick gray fell on his shoulders and hair, as if he hadn't moved for a while.
They are the tombkeepers of the Phoenix Forbidden Land!
Phoenix Forbidden Land is both a forbidden land and a cemetery!
Buried here are the fallen powerful men of the Phoenix clan for tens of thousands of years or even longer. Their bodies rest here, and their wills are stored here, waiting for the outstanding descendants of future generations to inherit.
Such an important place is the most important among the Phoenix clan.
Naturally, it cannot be left unattended.
So the tombkeepers came into being.
The members of the Tomb Guards are not from a specific race, but are several strong men designated by the Phoenix Emperor when he was seriously injured and dying 70,000 years ago. They are loyal to the Phoenix Clan, and they will
A strong man who puts honor, disgrace and interests before himself and his race.
These powerful men were the first generation of tomb keepers. Later, after they died, the tomb keepers were taken over by their descendants or descendants, which continues to this day.
There are a total of eighteen tombkeepers. Among the current generation of tombkeepers, the weakest one is in the late stage of divine transformation, and most of them are already at the peak of divine transformation. And because they have guarded the Phoenix Forbidden Land for many years, they have been influenced by their ancestors.
Influenced by this, his cultivation strength is much stronger than that of ordinary strong men of the same level.
With such strength, even the Flame Phoenix, the Immortal Black Phoenix, and the Ice Phoenix at its peak cannot be ignored.
In this way, the Phoenix Forbidden Land can always maintain a unique, neutral, and undisturbed status.
The Eighteen Gravekeepers have no names and are only called by numerical serial numbers. From "one" to "eighteen", they are iron-clad code names and guardians of flowing water. When the wearer of a certain code name dies, the code name will fall again.
on the head of his successor.
Over tens of thousands of years, the guardians have changed several times, but these eighteen code names have never changed.
There is never one more person, and there is never one person less.
Suddenly, Thirteen opened his eyes suddenly and looked towards the sky. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "Someone is coming!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Several eyes immediately looked to the sky.
However, the tombkeeper whose code number ranged from one to ten did not move. He was still like an old monk in trance, with his eyes closed and motionless.
The only ones looking over at this moment were eleven to eighteen.
next moment.
Several figures quickly approached, landed on the mountainside, and then quickly headed towards the top of the mountain.
"Little friend Lin Fan, this Phoenix Forbidden Land is also the resting place of our ancestors and strong men. In order to avoid disturbing our ancestors, we'd better walk up the mountain." Icarus said.
Now Lin Fan's status and strength are far from what they were when they first met, so Icarus needs to take more care of Lin Fan's emotions and worry that he will be unhappy.
Lin Fan nodded and said: "Understood."
Soon, the group of people approached the top of the mountain.
"Phoenix Forbidden Land, stop anyone who comes!" came a majestic and majestic voice.
Icarus took two steps forward, cupped his fists, and said in a deep voice: "The current leader of the Flame Phoenix Clan, Icarus, has come to the forbidden area to welcome the Fire Phoenix out of seclusion."
"Chief Icarus, don't you know the rules of the Phoenix Forbidden Land!?" The voice came with a slight displeasure.
Icarus's expression changed.
Only then did he remember that the Phoenix Forbidden Area strictly prohibited any living beings other than the Phoenix clan from approaching, whether they were humans or other monster races.
Lin Fan and the other three are human beings. According to the rules of the Phoenix Forbidden Land, they are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Land, and they should not even appear at the foot of this mountain.
"Lin Fan is the most important guest of my Flame Phoenix Clan, and he is friends with the Fire Phoenix in seclusion. I..." Icarus quickly explained.
"enough!"
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sharp voice, which continued: "Those who are not from my race must have different minds! The rules of the Phoenix Forbidden Land have been passed down from ancient times and no provocation is allowed.
, let alone destroy it! Icarus, since you are the first offender, this matter has been exposed and let those three humans leave immediately! Otherwise, they will have to stay here forever. As for you, don’t think about it again in the future.
Enter the forbidden area!"
Icarus cursed inwardly.
The tombkeepers stay in the Phoenix Forbidden Land all year round and know nothing about the outside world. They are even less aware of Lin Fan's strength. Moreover, these people are extremely pedantic and stubborn.
There is a hint of superiority in it.
To put it bluntly, it's all something I'm used to.
For one thing, the Phoenix clan is grateful to the tombkeepers for guarding the forbidden area, and their attitude towards them has always been good and courteous.
Secondly, the Gravekeeper is in charge of such a vital place as the Phoenix Forbidden Land, and his personal strength is also very strong, so over time he has become a bit drifting.
Thirdly, there may be some resentment accumulated over thousands of years at play. After all, not everyone is as loyal to the Phoenix Clan as the first generation tombkeepers. For the sake of their mission, they can endure thousands of years of loneliness and guard the forbidden area.
Never leave even an inch.
Therefore, when the tombkeeper faced the members of the Phoenix clan, he felt somewhat like he was looking down from a high place, and his attitude was not considered friendly.
Even if the other party is the head of the clan, he will not give him any face.
Icarus had experienced the arrogance of gravekeepers before.
It's just that now is not the time for them to be playful. If they really make Lin Fan angry, I'm afraid there won't be any tombkeepers in the Phoenix Forbidden Land in the future.
Thinking of this, Ikaros said anxiously: "Messenger of the Forbidden Land, Lin Fan is not only my friend of the Flame Phoenix Clan, but also the most important friend of the Immortal Black Phoenix Clan, and the Ice Crystal Phoenix Clan..."
"Icarus! Since you are stubborn, don't blame me for being unkind!"
A loud shout shook the void and exploded into the sky.
Icarus originally wanted to say that the Ice Crystal Phoenix Clan was destroyed because of Lin Fan, and even the demon king Huang Tianyang fell at the hands of Lin Fan, which made the tombkeeper feel a little worried.
Unfortunately, Icarus was interrupted again before he could finish his words.
After the other party said that, he took action directly.
"A mere human in the middle stage of becoming a god dares to trespass into our Phoenix Clan's forbidden area. He is really looking for death!"
The cold sound resounded, carrying an icy murderous intent.
At the same time, a huge ice spear carrying cold and cold energy shot out from the Phoenix Forbidden Area.
