Chapter 1056: The Huai Clan Second Young Mistress

Jinyuan City was quite large. Immortal cultivators could be seen everywhere in this major city in the Hangzhao Territorial Waters. On the contrary, it was rare to come across people without any level of cultivation here. It was indeed an immortal cultivator city. Besides that, all the people here had rather high levels of cultivation. Bumping into Primordial Soul Realm cultivators was common while Tide Changing Realm cultivators could be encountered once in a while too. As for Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators, there were few of them and it was usually rare to meet them.

The Sorcerer God Temple was an organization that ruled over the entire Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. It was revered and held high authority. It was supported by the legendary Sorcerer God in the Magical Realm.

Similar to the Huatian Palace in the Source World, the Sorcerer God Temple had its branch palace halls set up everywhere in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.

Every Sorcerer God Temple was equipped with a teleportation main hall. It was open to the public but the Sorcerer Clan immortal cultivators had to pay a fee in order to use it.

The distance between the Hangzhao Territorial Waters and the Ruyun Territorial Waters was not very far; however, the teleportation trip required 10 000 spiritual stones. No wonder many Primordial Soul Realm cultivators would prefer flying there to using the teleporting stratagem.

“Senior, the fee for teleportation in the Sorcerer God Temple is generally higher. If we use the teleporting stratagem owned by the local authorities, the fee will be much cheaper. Unfortunately, the teleportation main hall in Jinyuan City is not directly linked to the Ruyun Territorial Waters.”

The half snake member of the Sorcerer Clan sighed. They could save a lot of spiritual stones if they could use the teleporting stratagem owned by the local authorities. Unfortunately, the local authorities of Jinyuan City had very limited resources; thus, the teleportation main hall owned by Jinyuan City could only be used to go to about 20 places and the Ruyun Territorial Waters was not one of them.

Speaking of which, the Ruyun Territorial Waters was just a minor territorial waters; it was even smaller than the Hangzhao Territorial Waters. Therefore, it was normal for Jinyuan City to not have a teleporting stratagem linked to there.

The teleportation network owned by the Sorcerer God Temple was the one with the widest coverage.

“Senior, the teleportation message has been pre-recorded in this talisman. The teleporting stratagem will automatically identify your destination.”

Another member of the Sorcerer Clan passed a talisman to Mo Wen. One had to first buy a talisman before they could teleport. If they were here with another person, they would surely have not needed to explain all this in detail; after all, this was all common sense. However, this senior… seemed to be ignorant of everything.

“Hmm.” Mo Wen nodded in satisfaction. These members of the Sorcerer Clan were clever. He had not rescued them in vain.

“Do you all know whether there are any powerful cultivators in the Ruyun Territorial Waters?”

Before he left, Mo Wen suddenly wanted to get some information about the Ruyun Territorial Waters. The Hangzhao Territorial Waters were not too far from the Ruyun Territorial Waters. They should have heard some news about the place.

“Senior, the Ruyun Territorial Waters are just a small area of territorial waters. There are very few immortal cultivator experts there. The entire territorial waters should not have more than 20 Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators. As for the most powerful cultivator, he is called Venerable Master Hui Hong. His level of cultivation is at the top of the intermediate stage of the Supreme Profundity Realm. He is the Yunhong Island Master,” the member of the Sorcerer Clan with a tall figure said after pondering for a bit.

They knew some things regarding Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators. Although the Ruyun Territorial Waters was just a small area of territorial waters, the strong practitioners there also caught the attention of the factions from the outside.

“Since that is the case, this is farewell.”

Mo Wen walked towards the teleportation main hall and did not turn again. However, he waved his hand and three beams of light flew out. The lights landed in the hands of the three members of the Sorcerer Clan. They were three small intricate jade bottles.

The three members of the Sorcerer Clan were stunned for a moment. Then, they opened up the caps on the jade bottles. Immediately, fragrance burst forth from the jade bottles. The three of them felt the power within their own bodies suddenly circulate at a much faster rate.

“Spiritual level ninth rank spiritual pills!”

The eyes of the three members of the Sorcerer Clan revealed looks of glee. Spiritual level ninth rank spiritual pills were definitely treasures among treasures. For Primordial Soul Realm cultivators like them, the effects of these spiritual pills were rather strong. As Primordial Soul Realm cultivators, although they were not short on money, they were not wealthy either. Normally, they could not bring themselves to purchase such spiritual pills. They never imagined that this senior would actually bestow such lavish gifts upon them before he left.

“Thank you very much senior for your gifts.”

The three members of the Sorcerer Clan glanced at each other and then gave a deep bow to Mo Wen. Such behavior drew the attention of many passersby. They stopped to watch, not knowing what had occurred.

Mo Wen waved behind him. As a Tide Changing Realm cultivator, he would naturally not take advantage of a few Primordial Soul Realm cultivators. He did not have spiritual stones, but he had many spiritual pills; he was a skilled alchemist. When he walked into the teleporting stratagem, the teleporting talisman in his hand immediately responded and disappeared from his hand with a flash of light. It became a rune that merged into the teleporting stratagem. Then, the entire teleporting stratagem shone brightly. The next moment, Mo Wen had already disappeared from the teleporting stratagem.

In the Ruyun Territorial Waters, on Yunhong Island…

Mo Wen’s vision turned black. When it turned bright again, he had already appeared within another teleportation main hall. He looked around his surroundings curiously. This teleportation main hall was smaller than the one in Jinyuan City. There were very few people coming and going.

As Mo Wen walked out of the teleportation main hall, he grabbed a passerby to ask him about their current location. As expected, he had been teleported to Yunhong Island in the Ruyun Territorial Waters.

The teleporting talisman was probably an item akin to a boarding pass for a train or a ship. The teleporting stratagem could automatically determine the aura on the teleporting talisman and then teleport him to the corresponding location.

Mo Wen took out his map and swept a glance over it. Yunhong Island was in the north of the Ruyun Territorial Waters and was the top immortal cultivator island in the Ruyun Territorial Waters. In the entire Ruyun Territorial Waters, this was the only place with a branch of the Sorcerer God Temple. People who were teleported from other territorial waters would arrive here. Of course, normally there were very few people who teleported here. It was because these territorial waters were more remote and barren. Very few cultivators from a foreign place would come here.

After walking out of the Sorcerer God Temple, the main street of Yunhong City was in front. The street was filled with an endless stream of people coming and going. Although it was not as majestic and flourishing as Jinyuan City, as the top immortal cultivator city in the Ruyun Territorial Waters, this place could also be considered bustling and lively.

He could reach Yingyun City by flying for an hour from here.

Mo Wen did not wait but flew up immediately, flying out of the city. However, he had just reached the outskirts of the city when he discovered that there were many people gathered in a square outside of the city. A group of people was pointing at each other, seemingly discussing something.

Did immortal cultivators also like to be onlookers? Mo Wen felt curious, sweeping a glance over.

Initially, he was prepared to leave after sweeping a glance. However, the content of the discussion of the crowd piqued his interest.

…

In the square outside of Yunhong City, many people had gathered. A young maiden was kneeling at the center of the square.

The young maiden was dressed in a white dress and she had delicate features. Her appearance was very similar to that of humans. The only difference was there was a diamond-shaped jade horn on her glabella. Overall, she didn’t look savage like a beast; instead, she looked cute with the jade horn.

At this moment, the young maiden was covered with blood and her face was as pale as a sheet. Her aura was weltering, seemingly due to a severe injury.

The onlookers were pointing their fingers at the young maiden while engaging in their own discussions. Some hugged their arms, with expressions of enjoying a show; some sneered, rejoicing in the young maiden’s misfortune. Some people had compassion in their eyes, yet they felt helpless.

“Is she the second young mistress of Yingyun City? Back when Wise Man Huai Guang was still around, they were glamorous. Who would have thought that they would end up like this?” someone lamented.

“The dignified second young mistress of Yingyun City is actually kneeling outside of Yunhong City. She is shameless. She has brought humiliation to the late Wise Man Huai Guang,” another person snorted.

“Don’t be insensitive. When your family is about to be eradicated, you have no choice,” somebody retorted. The speaker seemed to disdain those who rejoiced in others’ misfortune.

“What good will it do for her kneeling here? She is a nobody, yet she still dreams of asking Yunhong City for help. Venerable Master Hui Hong will not help her,” the second speaker continued to utter words of loathing.

“Sigh. If Wise Man Huai Guang didn’t die accidentally, their Huai Clan would not end up so miserably.”

“The mayor of Muhong City is going too far. Wise Man Huai Guang has just passed away and the mayor wants to forcibly occupy Yingyun City. Wise Man Huai Guang and Muhong City’s mayor used to be good friends and they interacted with each other quite frequently. Who would have thought now that Wise Man Huai Guang has passed away, not only is Muhong City’s mayor not helping, but he also kicks the Huai Clan when they are down. The mayor is overweeningly ambitious. The will of a person is unpredictable; one can only rely on oneself.”

“Hush. How dare you speak of this? Are you not afraid of death? Be careful to not let your words be heard by the citizens of Muhong City.”

A few men who were wearing the same robes came out from Yunhong City. The leader of the group frowned as he walked over to the maiden and said, “Huai Clan Second Young Mistress, please leave. Hui Hong Island Lord will not see you. Our Yunhong City has always remained neutral in the dispute among other islands.”

“Steward Zhang, I beg you, please let me see Venerable Master Hui Hong. My late father was acquainted with him too. May the Venerable Master have pity on me for old times’ sake.”

As soon as the young maiden saw the leader, she pounced forward and begged him while tugging at the corners of his trousers. Sorrow filled her eyes.

“What do you mean by for old times’ sake? Don’t you dare simply claim to have a connection with us. Let me be straight with you, my words are Hui Hong Island Lord’s words too. The island lord will not meet you. Get lost. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite,” Steward Zhang said sternly.

Should Wise Man Huai Guang be still alive, Yunhong City might still be polite with the Huai Clan. However, now that Wise Man Huai Guang had died, the Huai Clan was useless to Yunhong City. It was highly unlikely for the Yunhong City’s island lord to offend the Muhong City’s mayor just because of the Huai Clan. The mayor of Muhong City was a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator after all.

“As expected, such is the rule of this world. Without strength, we are left to be suppressed. Venerable Master Hui Hong will not help Yingyun City. They are screwed this time.”

“Rumor has it that before this, the mayor of Muhong City secretly visited Venerable Master Hui Hong. They seemed to have made some sort of agreement. Matters regarding Yingyun City might have been included in their dealings. Venerable Master Hui Hong not appearing has long been expected.”

“Back in the day, Wise Man Huai Guang was also a renowned figure in the Ruyun Territorial Waters. Who would have thought that his clan would end up in such a predicament after he died? It is sad and lamentable.”

“The tribe of Wise Man Huai Guang is most likely finished. Their fate will certainly be miserable.”

…

The Huai Clan second young mistress was also completely stunned. She numbly looked at the people around here as her figure stiffly collapsed to the ground.

“Leave this place immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame me when I have you thrown out. Yunhong City does not welcome you,” Steward Zhang said in a cold tone.

The Huai Clan second young mistress gradually got up. She was like a walking corpse as she headed out with an ashen expression.

“Second Young Mistress, you cannot return. First Young Mistress has already decreed so. If you cannot persuade Venerable Master Hui Hong, you will have to immediately use the teleporting stratagem in the Sorcerer God Temple to escape the Ruyun Territorial Waters.”

The men suddenly went in front of the Huai Clan second young mistress to block her. Their bodies were stained with blood. Their auras were weak and all of them had serious injuries. It was obvious that they had come here together.

“No, I want to die together with my elder sister and the others,” the Huai Clan second young mistress shook her head and kept walking towards the outskirt of the city.

“Second Young Mistress, we managed to escape here with much difficulty. We cannot go back. We will live to fight another day,” one of the men said anxiously. They had slaughtered their way out to reach this place. Along the way, countless comrades had died. If the second young mistress went back, all of that would have been in vain.

In reality, the first young mistress had already anticipated that it was impossible for Venerable Master Hui Hong to lend them a hand. Hence, there was another goal for them to come to Yunhong City, and that was to let the second young mistress escape using the Sorcerer God Temple’s teleporting stratagem.

“What meaning is there in me living alone? My talents are limited and the chances of me seeking revenge in the future are too slim. Moreover, it is impossible for that old sly fox, the mayor of Muhong, to spare me. He will chase me down wherever I escape.”

The Huai Clan second young mistress still shook her head as she continued heading out. All her brothers and sisters were defending Yingyun City to their last breath. She did not want to escape alone.

“Ehem… Excuse me, but are you people from Yingyun City?”

Suddenly, a not-so-harmonious voice interrupted them. It was a youth. His face revealed a plain smile and he had a very kind look.
