Chapter 1502: Independent City He City
“Speaking of which, should we change our identities? We were easily noticed by Qu Feng and Chen Jing,” said Si Yumi while looking at Chu Tianmang.
Chu Tianmang was thinking about the matter just now and did not answer. Although he could guess the reason they went after Liu Binglan, there were still many places filled with doubts.
“Heaven Slaughter, did you hear me?” Si Yumi walked to the front of Chu Tianmang and repeated her question a little angrily.
“Oh, sure. We cannot participate in the meeting with our Darkness Sect identities anyway. Furthermore, I should be a dead person right now,” answered Chu Tianmang without paying attention.
Si Yumi snorted, “What? You started to worry about her?”
Chu Tianman did not answer.
......
On the second morning, the group resumed their journey.
Yu Suo’s group set off earlier than Liu Binglan’s group. Separating at this place was to prevent some people from guessing too much.
Yu Suo already knew there were already many factions against the rising New Moon Land. If she got too close to New Moon Land now, her Guang Moon Palace would also be included in the antagonizing target.
Rather than openly showing her alliance with New Moon Land, it would be better to remain neutral and observe the reason for the entire incident. Hence, she chose to separate with New Moon Land for the last part of the journey to Dual Earth Mountain.
When Chen Jing and Qu Feng received news that Guang Moon Palace did not continue to travel with New Moon Land, they smiled. Now that they had Darkness Sect to help them, it would be much easier to complete this mission.
“After they get out of Xishui City, we will make our move. Don’t waste too much time,” Qu Feng told Chen Jing.
“Yes, Darkness Sect’s side is ready. They always complete their task cleanly,” Chen Jing seemed to have often interacted with Darkness Sect as he was rather confident about them carrying out an abduction.
“Looks like some people are approaching them,” Chen Jing stood at high ground and saw that group of people walking together with New Moon Land’s group at the city gate area.
“What’s happening?” Qu Feng frowned.
They had been waiting for New Moon Land to be alone to make a move. Guang Moon Palace finally left, yet another group of people accompanied them now!
“Send people to check which faction they are from. If they are from those unimportant faction, we can give them a little warning and tell them to make the smart choice,” said Qu Feng.
Chen Jing nodded and immediately sent someone to investigate.
Soon, Chen Jing obtained the information and returned to Qu Feng gloomily.
“They are people from He City!” said Chen Jing.
“He City? Why would they travel along with New Moon Land? Don’t they know whoever stands with New Moon Land means antagonizing a large number of factions?” grumbled Qu Feng.
They originally thought this matter could be accomplished easily. After all, no matter how fast New Moon Land rose up, they could not fend off the assault from two royalty experts like them.
However, the matter kept getting complicated. First, it was Guang Moon Palace. Now, it became He City......
“If it’s really He City, we cannot help anymore,” Si Yumi plainly told Qu Feng.
“Why is that?” Qu Feng’s expression changed slightly.
“We both are not insignificant commoners. Beiming City and He City are stubborn Families us major factions are unwilling to offend. We are even willing to offend the royalty than to get into conflict with them. If we make our move this time, we will definitely alert the people from He City. If you royalties can take responsibility for this, I am willing to do it. However, if us Darkness Sect has to bear the responsibility, I believe I can only back out,” said Si Yumi.
“This......” Qu Feng and Chen Jing certainly came from the royalty, but they could not represent the entire royalty. They also did not dare to offend those people from He City.
“Call us again if you are able to separate He City and New Moon Land. We still have other matters, so farewell,” Si Yumi gave a slight smile.
After that, she started chanting to summon her wing type soul pet and took flight.
Her subordinates followed right behind her. In an instant, all Darkness Sect members left, only Chen Jing and Qu Feng were left there with gloomy expressions.
......
He City was similar to Beiming City, an independent city in Zhengming Continent with a really high standing. It was almost on the same rank as eighth or ninth rank Border Kingdoms.
He City and Beiming City were both managed by a group of young people. However, behind those young soul pet trainers, a group of powerful elders were supporting them.
Divine Sects, Elemental Clan, Demon Beast Palace and other major factions were much less in those cities. The independent cities’ influence did not cover as much as those major factions. However, their influence in some borders could even surpass those old factions.
Liu Binglan only heard about the situation of He City. She had never interacted with the mysterious He City over the past few years. She never thought that the moment she walked out of Xishui City, people from He City would converse with them friendly and willing to go to Dual Earth Mountain together.
New Moon Land was currently in an awkward position, they desperately needed allies. Liu Binglan gladly agreed to travel together.
He City was also invited to the Dual Earth Conference. The representative this time was He City’s Vice City Lord Lin Xian. There were about ten people accompanying him.
Lin Xian appeared to be rather young. However, from his gaze and calm demeanor, he should not be from the young generation anymore.
Lin Xian was not talkative. He only conversed a little with Liu Binglan.
Liu Binglan also did not like to talk a lot. Instead, those youths she brought quickly became familiar with the youths from He City.
......
A dark blue gryphon flew past a mountain and rapidly approached an elegant and holy group of people.
Madam Gao who was riding on a wing type soul pet turned around to check and noticed the person approaching was her nephew Gao He. She smiled and whispered a word to Yu Suo.
Gao He flew past those Guang Moon Palace guards and greeted, “Female Supreme Liu encountered people from He City when they exited Xishui City. They are now traveling together with He City.”
“He City?” Madam Gao spaced out for a moment and seemed confused.
Yu Suo also felt a little confused. She could not understand why He City would travel together with New Moon Land.
New Moon Land was currently in a bad situation, they were always ‘shunned’ by some factions. Smart people could easily tell some major factions joined forces and isolated New Moon Land. If anyone got close to New Moon Land in this situation, it was no doubt bringing trouble to themselves.
However, He City currently traveling with New Moon Land was equivalent to telling those factions that they intended to be on good terms with New Moon Land. There was no need for He City to put themselves in a position whereby they would be antagonized by many factions.
“Who from He City?” asked Yu Suo.
“Vice City Lord Lin Xian,” said Gao He.
“Saintess Yu, we found some breakthrough points at Beiming City. However, we did not get any chance for this He City. If He City is really willing to be on good terms with New Moon Land, we can come into contact with them through this subtle relationship,” said Madam Gao.
Yu Suo shook her head, “Unnecessary. Although Lin Xian is quite well known, there are hardly people who saw his real appearance.
“Female Supreme Liu told me to ask you about your opinion on Lian Xian’s sudden friendliness this time.”
Liu Binglan was also a smart person. Nothing was free in this world. She knew Yu Suo was more knowledgeable about the subtle relationships between factions, so she wanted Gao He to ask Yu Suo for opinion.
Yu Suo did not answer, and pinched out a blood-colored rose from her hand.
She threw this blood rose into the sky. The rose petals dissolved into the air after scattering. The rest of the rose also slowly disappeared as if it melted.
Gao He could not comprehend this action, but he did not dare to ask. He could only continue travelling along.
After a while, a black figure shot past the clouds with extremely high speed. Before those Guang Moon Palace guards could react, that figure already appeared in front of Yu Suo.
This was an extremely fast soul pet trainer. Gao He could not tell whether this person was male or female, as the hair of that person was also wrapped in the black clothes and hoods. It was also difficult to tell the gender through the physique of that person.
That person bowed before Yu Suo and whispered a few words.
“Hmm, you may return,” Yu Suo nodded.
A shallow smile appeared on her face and she mumbled to herself, “So it’s him. Interesting.”
That person did not say anything else and left, quickly disappearing into the clouds.
“Tell Female Supreme Liu to get intimate with Lin Xian. He is a person worth complete trust,” Yu Suo seemed to know something. Her words carried some hint, yet seemed to be vague.
Gao He also did not really understand. He would just convey Saintess Yu’s original words to Female Supreme Liu.
......
Soon, Gao He conveyed the reply to Liu Binglan.
Liu Binglan looked at Gao He a little confusedly and asked, “Are you sure this is her original response?”
“Yes,” Gao He nodded with a serious expression.
Liu Binglan took a glance at the back figure of Lin Xian who was walking in front and gained even more doubts in her heart.
What’s with Yu Suo’s choice of words? Why must she use the word ‘intimate’?
Furthermore, a person worth trusting clearly indicated that He City acting friendly this time did not contain any ulterior motive. Yu Suo said ‘a person worth complete trust’, whether there was the word ‘complete’ or not would surely carry a different meaning. He City’s Lin Xian was not her family, there was no way Liu Binglan would completely trust a person she was just acquainted with.
