Chapter 2308 - 2303: The Arrival of the Divine Envoy

Chapter 2308: Chapter 2303: The Arrival of the Divine Envoy

Tang Ming stood up and smiled at the old shopkeeper, then said, "Shopkeeper, surely that Divine Envoy can’t occupy the entire inn? Could I also stay at your inn?"

The old shopkeeper awkwardly smiled and then said, "Esteemed guest, if it weren’t for the Divine Envoy, I would definitely keep you. But now, with the Divine Envoy staying at my inn, I can’t accommodate anyone else."

Tang Ming nodded, understanding. After all, the old man was in business and didn’t seem like a follower of the Blood Ancestor.

After leaving the inn, Hu Mei’er came up to Tang Ming and asked, "What should we do?"

"No problem, this courtyard looks good. Let’s go take a look," Tang Ming said with a smile, pointing to the small tavern across the street.

The door to the small tavern was ajar, indicating someone lived there. Although someone lived there, it wasn’t open for business. Tang Ming and his companion could likely find a place to stay.

They pushed open the tavern door, and a sword was instantly placed against Tang Ming’s throat. "You cursed robbers, didn’t I already give you spirit stones? What more do you want?"

Tang Ming’s lips twitched, "Ma’am, we’re not here to demand spirit stones from you. The Divine Envoy of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect is staying at the inn across the street, and my wife and I were evicted. I was hoping we could stay at your place, if that’s convenient."

The old woman was stunned, her gaze falling on her daughter descending the stairs.

The old woman’s daughter was clad in military attire, holding a treasure sword. She scrutinized Tang Ming and then looked at Hu Mei’er.

"One spirit stone. There’s a courtyard in the back, you can go there yourself. Stay as long as you like."

The woman turned and went back upstairs.

The old woman was taken aback for a moment, then took a set of keys from behind the counter and handed them to Tang Ming. "There’s a courtyard in the back, pick whichever you like."

She quickly walked to the door and closed it tightly, sitting by the entrance with her treasure sword. Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er exchanged a glance. "Let’s go. Let’s find a quiet courtyard first."

Hu Mei’er nodded and smiled at the old woman. "Ma’am, I have a sister named Gehou who hasn’t arrived yet. If she finds her way here, please let her in."

"Hmm."

The old woman didn’t turn her head, merely nodding. Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er headed towards the backyard.

When they reached the backyard, they realized it was actually another inn. For some reason, however, the inn no longer had a sign.

But the guest rooms were still clean.

There were no attendants or servants. Usually, when a sign is removed, it indicates problems, or it wouldn’t be like this.

While Tang Ming was moving into this unmarked inn, the girl with the sword appeared in a small room above.

"They’re not people from the Bing Family or the Yu Family. They’re just passing travelers. As lodgers, they should be old customers of the inn," the girl noted to someone in the room.

"Miss, you’re too naive. With all the heat in Wanghai City knowing that the lord is in trouble and will be sacrificed to that Blood Ancestor tomorrow, how could there be old customers willing to stay here?"

The person in the room suddenly changed expressions.

The girl, however, smiled and said, "Have you all forgotten that my special cultivation technique allows me to truly discern the intentions of others, even if that couple isn’t old patrons here, they don’t harbor ill intentions towards me."

Everyone in the room realized that Bing Yao’s cultivation was truly unique, allowing her to identify genuine motives in conversations.

"No ill intentions is fine. Now, the world in Wanghai City is in chaos. Those people think the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect can bring them benefits, yet they don’t know how many lives must be sacrificed to the Blood Ancestor for these benefits."

A woman in a white robe sighed deeply. Though appearing in her twenties, she leaned on a scepter adorned with a silver gemstone, looking very striking. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Sister, tomorrow I will definitely save my father, right? I heard the Divine Envoy of the Blood Ancestor has also come to Wanghai City and is staying in the inn opposite. Should we go and eliminate him tonight?"

Bing Yao asked, looking at the woman with the silver gemstone scepter.

The two were disciples of the Holy Maiden Palace sect near Wanghai City.

Holy Maiden Palace is dedicated to honoring the Holy Maiden. The woman who created the Palace was revered as the Holy Maiden by its people.

This is somewhat akin to faith, but since it doesn’t affect other cities or sects, the Jiulong Dynasty leaves it alone and even supports it.

So, when Jiulong Tower controls the Jiulong Dynasty, Holy Maiden Palace holds a high status, with some city lords choosing to step aside when encountering the Palace Master.

As a prominent family in Wanghai City, the Bing Family’s Great Elder Bing Feng had no sons, only a daughter, Bing Yao.

Bing Yao was gifted from a young age, gaining the reputation of Wanghai Ice Blossom in the city. When a Holy Maiden from the Palace passed through Wanghai City, she took Bing Yao as a disciple upon meeting her.

This is why the Bing Family is confident and unwilling to submit to the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect.

After all, the Bing Family has the backing of Holy Maiden Palace.

However, the Bing Family didn’t know that when Bing Jiancha was bribed, Holy Maiden Palace was already destroyed by the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect.

A blood-red carriage entered through the gates of Wanghai City.

The ruling figures of Wanghai City from the Bing and Yu Families stood splitting the path, bowing their heads respectfully, watching the carriage.

The carriage stopped at the city gate, and an old man with red hair and red beard, his eyes purple and blue, stepped out of the carriage.

He wore a blood-red robe intricately designed with silver-white patterns.

The old man paused, his hand on the cane, "The Blood Ancestor will protect you, followers."

A blood-red glow emerged from the staff he raised high.

Intense immortal energy quickly gathered around him, forming a vortex in the sky above.

Spirit energy then channeled through the staff, descending on the Blood Ancestor’s followers, marked with blood-red patterns.

"Blood Ancestor’s blessing."

"Blood Ancestor’s blessing."

The followers knelt one by one, faces filled with devoutness. The spectators behind them showed expressions of surprise.

Many people’s eyes lit up. This Divine Envoy of the Blood Ancestor was indeed formidable, enhancing the Blood Ancestor’s followers’ abilities. If they worshiped the Blood Ancestor, couldn’t they too enhance their cultivation?

Those standing behind the Blood Ancestor followers also knelt, calling out for the Blood Ancestor’s blessing.
