Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen Chapter 20

"Let's go, Finally it's time for us to fly high again." Xu Liang said with a smile as he gazed at the Ice Phoenix.
"Eeeeee" The Ice Phoenix gave a happy cry as it looked excited.
Xu Liang walked towards the large windows in the hall and opened them.
The Ice Phoenix walked to the window and jumped outside excitedly.
As it got out of the Palace, It happily spread its majestic wings as it flew high in the sky.
"You look like you are having fun. Looks like father didn't let you out much, did he? " Xu Liang muttered with a smile as he jumped out the window.
Xu Liang was in a state of freefall as he felt the wind rushing against his body but his expression remained as normal as possible.
The Ice Phoenix gave a sharp cry as it came down. Xu Liang landed on the back of Ice Phoenix as it again flew towards the sky.

"Wai... isn't that the Heavenly Ice Phoenix? "
"Yes... that's... that's the Royal Clan's Ice Phoenix... the only living phoenix in the heavenly realm!"
"Mother, look! It's so beautiful and so Majestic..."
"It is said that the Heavenly Ice Phoenix has a real attitude problem. It doesn't let anyone but His Highness, Prince Liang sit on its back."
"Yea...I heard that there was once a time when War God Zhen tried to ride on it, but even he was unable to control the legendary best. It was when the Ice Phoenix first appeared in our heavenly realm."
"It's not called a legendary beast for no reason. I heard that because of anger, it froze the whole palace of War God Zhen. No one was able to get it under control. Finally, His Majesty arrived and calmed it down. Even he never tried to ride on its back though."

"Yea...It can be really frightening when it is angry. I still remember the horror of that day. War God Zhen, who had defeated so many strong foes, looked completely helpless in front of the Heavenly Ice Phoenix."
"I've always wondered how Prince Liang managed to do it."
"Well...I personally feel like nothing is impossible for Prince Liang. Despite being born a mortal, he was able to become the number one genius of the heavenly realm. Even the Legendary Ice Phoenix acknowledged him. He is amazing."
"The phoenix that hasn't been seen since Prince Liang went into a coma has once again taken flight. Looks like his highness is going somewhere. Where do you think Prince Liang is going? "
"Well. He hasn't gone out in a long time. I'm sure he must be going out for some fresh air."
People kept talking amongst themselves as they saw the Ice Phoenix flying above their heads.
Xu Liang flew over the city for around two hours before he finally reached a beautiful looking palace. There was a large tree that stood tall at the center of the palace and reached a height that was even taller than the palace itself.
It looked more like the palace was built around the tree than the other way around.
"As amazing as always," Xu Liang let out in amazement.
As the Heavenly City was covered in snow, the view looked even better as the stark white snow rested on the lush green leaves of the tree.
"Lexi, Let's get down." Xu Liang said as he glanced at the Ice Phoenix.
"Eeeee" The phoenix gave a beautiful cry as it slowly came down. It landed right in front of the entrance of the palace.
Two guards dressed in green stood at the entrance of the Palace.

"You must be His highness, Prince Liang. The guards said as they bowed in front of Xu Liang.
It was a custom in the heavenly realm to bow down in front of the Royal family member unless the person had a high position that exempted them from bowing down in front of anyone but the Heavenly Emperor himself.
They immediately recognized Xu Liang mainly because of the Heavenly Ice Phoenix that he was riding. Everyone in the Heavenly Realm knew that only Prince Liang could ride the legendary Ice Phoenix of the Heavenly Realm.
"I'm looking for Goddess of Medicine. I have important business with her." Xu Liang said to the guards in a serious tone.
"Your highness! Mistress is indeed inside but we can't allow you entry without her permission. Please wait while we go inform her of your arrival." The guard replied in a worried tone. He didn't want to offend Prince Liang but he couldn't let him enter without the Palace Master's permission either.
"Do you think I have time to wait here??? Move aside immediately!!!" Xu Liang let out loudly as he stared at the guards. If these were any other times, he definitely would have agreed to wait without minding it much, but things were different right now. His worry for Yue had made him impatient.
"We ... We..." The guards began shivering as they saw Xu Liang in anger. They stuttered to respond but they didn't move from their position.
"I am going inside! If you don't want to die, then don't try to stop me." Xu Liang said in a serious tone.
"Lexi...I don't want to kill anyone, But if they try to stop me, you can freeze them to death." Xu Liang said as he turned back to look at Lexi.
It was his old world's reflexes that were at play here. As the CEO and owner of one of the biggest organizations in the world, he had to be forceful at times to get things done.
Xu Liang finally started walking towards the door.
The guards initially had the thought to stop him, but when they looked at the sharp eyes of the Ice Phoenix, they didn't dare to move towards Xu Liang. In fact, they stepped aside and cleared a path for him.
Xu Liang opened the door and entered the palace.
"Ara Ara...I never knew Prince Liang would be so forceful." Came a voice as soon as he took his first step inside the palace.
