199: Get angry for a while

In the northeast direction of Moyang City, Luo Qingwei, clad in a black robe and holding a sword, was rushing towards the north of the city with two Disciples, sending out messages to notify everyone to head north.

Her brother was in trouble, and she was more anxious than anyone else.

“Faster, faster, Brother, you must hold on!” Luo Qingwei looked at the Mother-Child Stone in her hand. She had sent several messages but received no reply from her brother, which made her even more uneasy.

“Awooo~”

Suddenly, a Corpse Demon appeared in front of them, its pale eyes devoid of any Life Qi, staring fixedly at the three.

Luo Qingwei secretly gritted her teeth. It was precisely at such a critical moment that accidents were most likely to occur. Her brother’s life hung in the balance, and now they encountered a Corpse Demon.

“Attack together, resolve this quickly!” Luo Qingwei turned her head and said to the two behind her.

“Yes.”

...

Xu Sanyan was meditating with his eyes closed when the Mother Stone in his arms warmed slightly. He took it out and glanced at it.

“Saint, this Disciple saw Qi Liang leading people to hunt down Luo Changtian.”

Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow. What kind of grudge did the two have?

“You stay there, be careful, and report at any time.”

“Yes.”

Xu Sanyan pondered, wondering whether to go over.

He mainly didn't know what the two were doing. Were they fighting for a treasure? Or did they have a personal grudge from before?

His gaze passed through the window, looking at the Corpse Demons soaring in the dark night, his thoughts unsettled.

Just then, the Mother Stone warmed again, and several messages appeared consecutively:

“Saint, this Elder saw many people from Qidao Sect of Yong Mountain heading north of the city. Perhaps a treasure has appeared there.”

“Saint, this Disciple saw Lu Wang leading people into a Daoist temple in the west of the city.”

“Saint, a Flower Pavilion appeared in the south of the city. Some people entered and never came out. Now many people are observing here.”

Xu Sanyan frowned deeply. Suddenly, situations arose in various places, leaving him unsure where to go. So, he transmitted a message to the Elder,

“Senior, what do you think?”

The Elder also saw the words on the Mother-Child Stone and slowly began, “It depends on your choice. The Daoist temple is the most dangerous, with a ‘Nightmare’ inside, but the treasure is also very valuable, a top-tier Cultivation Technique that leads directly to the Dao.”

Xu Sanyan shook his head. Cultivation Techniques held no appeal for him.

Seeing his lack of interest, the Elder continued, “The Flower Pavilion is also good. It’s an illusion. If you can break through it, you can obtain Essence Qi to nourish your Physical Body. Otherwise… you’ll consume a large amount of Essence Qi, but it won’t be fatal, and while inside, you can also experience its flavors.”

Flower Pavilion…

Also known as Flower House.

As a gentleman, Xu Sanyan had always disdained such places.

“Are there many women?”

“Many, and they are real,” the Elder nodded.

Xu Sanyan silently pondered. Perhaps after obtaining the Nether Phoenix’s essence, he could go and see.

Then he asked, “What’s in the north of the city?”

“The north of the city… This Elder remembers there are two and a half treasures there. One is a Magic Treasure embryo, of decent quality.”

“The second is a Daoist Magic of the sword, with good power.”

“As for the half… it’s not very useful, just some insights into the Dao from this Elder, originally intended as a memento.”

Xu Sanyan’s heart tightened. Dao?

“Senior, what Realm were you in before…?”

The Elder’s tone held deep disappointment, “I was just a step away from entering the immortal path, but unfortunately, I encountered a Heavenly Tribulation, and thousands of years of cultivation were destroyed in an instant.”

“To the north of the city!”

Xu Sanyan didn’t hesitate for a second. He immediately took out the Mother Stone and sent a message to everyone,

“Immediately proceed to the north of the city, no delay allowed.”

What Nether Phoenix, what Flower Pavilion, all had to step aside.

The Elder was stunned and immediately reacted, “You all now… have no records of the Dao?”

“I don’t know.”

Xu Sanyan shook his head. He had only briefly perceived the Dao in an illusion while cultivating the Saintly Book, but he still only half-understood it.

Regarding whether there were more detailed records of the Dao within the Sect, he had no right to know.

“Could it be… that the Heavenly Tribulation destroyed all records about the Dao?” the Elder murmured in his heart.

In their era, records about the Dao were not secrets; even ordinary Disciples could spend Merits (merit points) to read them.

This way, it could deepen the Disciples’ understanding of the Dao, making the path of cultivation no longer confusing, only needing to aim for the goal and cultivate diligently.

What kind of life were these Cultivators living now?

The Elder sighed. This was also their fault, for over-exploiting resources without restraint, ultimately suffering the backlash of the Heavenly Dao and leaving behind this mess.

Qin Manyang looked at Xu Sanyan, “What’s wrong? Aren’t we going to the city center?”

Xu Sanyan shook his head, “First, to the north of the city.”

The group of six did not delay and immediately set off.

Looking down from the sky at this moment, many people in the city were converging towards the north of the city, not just Xu Sanyan’s faction.

The Qidao Sect of Yong Mountain, where the Luo family siblings were, Fang Qingge’s Siyuan Sect, Qi Liang’s faction, Jiang Qinqin’s faction, Fang Xiang’s faction, the Wei Family where Wei Xunzhu was, along with many forces who had come out of curiosity.

Like thousands of ants returning to their nest, they all headed in one direction.

...

In front of a wooden pavilion in the west of the city,

Zuoqiu Shu looked at Mo Qianqian, Mo Qianqian looked at Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan looked at Huan Xier in the tree, Huan Xier picked his nose, looked at a large piece of booger on his fingertip, and tentatively stuck out his tongue to lick it.

Jiang Yan silently averted his gaze.

Zuoqiu Shu was followed by the Zuoqiu Clan members, Mo Qianqian was still alone, Jiang Yan brought four members of the Jiang Family, and Huan Xier was also alone.

Logically speaking, quite a few people from Shangyin Mountain came this time, but Mo Qianqian was used to being alone, so no one followed her.

And Huan Xier was also a Disciple of Shangyin Mountain, but because his mind was not good, no one dared to follow him, which created the awkward situation of Shangyin Mountain being leaderless, only able to rely on a few Elders to manage the overall situation.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the field was slightly quiet, no one spoke. It was Jiang Yan who couldn’t help but speak first, “I am Jiang Yan of South Heaven Valley. Greetings to all.”

“This little girl is Zuoqiu Shu of Huai Lake. Greetings to all.”

Mo Qianqian’s cherry lips parted slightly, “Shangyin Mountain, Mo Qianqian.”

Huan Xier was still hanging in the tree.

Jiang Yan pointed to the spiritual liquid hanging in the center of the wooden pavilion and said, “I think our forces have always been on good terms, so there’s no need to draw swords over a mere barrel of spiritual liquid, is there? How about we just divide it equally?”

Zuoqiu Yi nodded, “This little girl has no objection.”

Mo Qianqian also nodded.

At this moment, Huan Xier suddenly went crazy, “Why? It’s all mine!”

Jiang Yan knew his mind wasn’t good, so he didn’t bother to argue much and simply ignored him, “Since everyone agrees, then it’s settled.”

“I don’t agree!”

Huan Xier flipped down from the tree and looked at Jiang Yan angrily.

“Go back!” Mo Qianqian snapped with a hint of irritation.

“Hmph, who do you think you are…”

Huan Xier hadn’t finished speaking when Mo Qianqian interrupted, “If you don’t listen, I’ll go back and tell Master that you bullied me!”

“You’re shameless!”

Huan Xier instantly exploded, his face full of anger as he flipped back onto the tree and hung there, fuming.

Mo Qianqian’s Master was Huan Xier’s nominal godmother, but in reality, his biological mother.
