City Lord Xiao watched as Sima You Yue left, Feng One and Two did not go with her. He couldn’t help but ask, “Are you not worried for your young master?”
“If Young Master says one, we dare not say two. We would be of no help even if we went along.” Feng One said, “City Lord Xiao, we have to head back to protect Young Master’s brothers and companions. We bid you farewell.”
Feng One and Feng Two cupped their fists towards City Lord Xiao as they turned around to leave.
City Lord Xiao watched them leave before turning around to ask those behind him, “Do you feel that their words are reliable?”
“City Lord, we feel that their words should be accurate. The conditions of the corpses do not seem to be inflicted by the average person. If it were really done by a creature from the ghost realm, then the condition of those corpses make sense.”
“I, too, feel as if there is a high possibility.” Another person replied, “No matter how powerful the person who enters bright red mountain peak, the result is always the same. Furthermore, there is never any trace left behind. If it were not because of an unknown world, then we would truly have no other explanation for it.”
“That’s right.”
“However, since he knows that they are creatures from the ghost realm, why is he still heading towards Bright Red Mountain Peak?”
“My guess is that he has a way to deal with those ghosts.” City Lord Xiao said, “You guys, take a look at this place. A battle took place here before we came, and the result is that he won.”
” Whether or not he did, the fact that he went to Bright Red Mountain Peak alone is enough cause for respect.”
“Ah? The last time someone went, you called him a fool, but now you say this one is worthy of respect?”
“The ones who went before, went without even knowing what was going on. They had no way to defeat them when they went over. If that is not foolishness, then what is? However, this person is different. He actually knows the cause and method to deal with them. He has gone to deal with the problem on his own for the sake of peace within the ancient primordial lands. If this is not worthy of respect, then what is it?”
“How do you know that he will be fine? He may end up staying there forever, like the rest of them!”
“Did you not see that those two monarch ranked experts did not go with him? Although they were worried, they did not insist on going along. This proves that they have faith with him. It also goes to show that there is no danger.”
“I knew you’d understand.” City Lord Xiao said, “Let’s return. I’m afraid that tomorrow, the entire of Mushui City will be in chaos because of what happened tonight. I hope that they will not destroy my residence.”
“City Lord, if those people ask us what’s going on, what do we say?”
City Lord Xiao pondered over it for a moment, saying, “Let’s just tell the truth…”
He was just afraid that the entire of the ancient primordial lands would end up in turmoil and chaos once they found out.
Fatty Qu had remained waiting in the house for Sima You Yue. However, when Feng One and Feng Two finally returned, You Yue was nowhere to be seen. As such, he had grabbed the two of them, interrogating them anxiously.
Feng One and Feng Two recounted the events of last time. When they heard that Sima You Yue really had a way to deal with the ghost clan, they finally relaxed.
“That’s true, Crimson Flame’s flame is the nemesis of the dark realm. As is lightning. You Yue’s lighting attribute is already useful. If this can’t take them out, then she can use her lightning calamity too.” Wei Zi Qi said.
“The elders of the egret clan are also a lot more powerful than we are. If we went, we would only drag her down.” Ouyang Fei siad, “It seems that we have no choice but to lock ourselves in closed door cultivation once we’re done with the ranking matches of the sect!”
“We have been dragging Sima You Yue down too much. We have to catch up quickly. Otherwise, we won’t be able to keep up.” Bei Gong Tang agreed.
Ou Yue was already a beginner Saint ranked expert. However, they had only now advanced to Divine Overlord. Fatty Qu had not even reached the rank of Divine Overlord, so he was not even able to fly. Although Sima You Yue had a lot of fortuitous encounters these two years, luck was also a part of one’s strength!
Fatty Qu thought of the discrepancy between him and them and hugged his head down in self reproach.
Bei Gong Tang saw the way he was acting and patted his shoulder, “You’re powerful as well. You’ll catch up to us in no time.”
“Right, Fatty. If you cultivated as much passion as you had for food, you’d catch up with us soon.” Wei Zi Qi said with a laugh as well.
“Fatty walks the route of physical strengthening. Although his cultivation cannot compare to us, his battle abilities are no worse than ours.” Sima You Ran pointed out.
Fatty Qu saw that everyone was comforting him, so he opened his mouth in a grin, deciding simultaneously that he would work hard to cultivate once they were back. He would do his best to catch up to them.
On the morning of the second day, news of what happened last night was known by every household in the city. Everyone in the city heard that all the advanced rank spirit paragons had been killed, and ran to the city lord to demand answers. However, the answer that they obtained from the city lord’s residence was even more alarming.
The weird things happening on Bright Red Mountain peak and the happenings in Mushui City were due to ghosts from the ghost clan!
Once this news was released, everyone broke out into an uproar. Many cowards left Mushui city that day, while the braver ones dared not leave their homes, wondering whether or not they should head back. A few contacted their sects, waiting for instruction as to what they were going to do.
Furthermore, this news did not even take a day to spread throughout the entire central province. This speed was incredibly shocking.
Furthermore, those large sects would have the responsibilities of large sects. Once they knew that ghosts appeared in Bright Red Mountain Peak, they quickly sent their men. Because they received notice from Mushui City, the ones who came later on were those with wood, fire or lightning attributes.
During the next two days, more came than left, and Mushui City was more lively than before. City Lord Xiao had spent the entire two days hosting those from the various sects. He would never do this before, but it was a special case this time, where those who came were rather high in stature. Furthermore, they had come because of what was happening in Bright Red Mountain Peak. It would also make Mushui City more safe.
“City Lord Xiao, Sir Wang has something that he would like to enquire of City Lord Xiao.” An elder man stood by the riverside, his expression solemn as he looked towards the river. Chou Xiao Tian and their master were standing behind him, illustrating the importance of his identity.
“Sect Leader Wang, Please speak.” Xiao Yi nodded towards the senior.
Those who had walked by earlier, were wondering who it was that managed to accompany Xiao Yi, but it was only when they heard Xiao Yi address him that they knew that this senior was actually the sect leader of Zhengyang Sect, Sect Leader Wang Xi.
“City Lord Xiao, nobody knew of the presence of the ghost realm in Bright Red Mountain Peak before. How did you learn of it?” Wang Xi asked.
“I am ashamed to say this, but I was not the first to think of this.” Xiao Yi said, “I only knew after hearing this piece of instruction from someone else.”
“A piece of instruction from someone else? Who is it?” Chou XiaO Tian’s master, Yu Tian Yuan, asked. “He was actually able to ascertain this before City Lord Xiao. Is it a master who hails from somewhere?”
“That’s not the case.”Xiao Yi said, “That person is merely a thirty year old child.”
“A thirty year old kid was actually able to find out the truth of this?” Yu Tian Yuan did not dare to believe it.
“Indeed.” City Lord Xiao did not feel it embarrassing to speak of it, so he recounted what happened that night, from start to finish.
When Chou Xiao Tian heard it, he casually asked, “The kid you’re talking about couldn’t be that brat, You Yue, right?”
