810 The Murder of A Woman (1/2)

”Little friend Mo Wen, do you think you will be able to meet Ling'er? If she wants my life, take my head to her. I just hope that she does not harm Xiaoman.”

When Yun Deguang had left the Phoenix Tail Village all those years ago, he had remembered his route. He thought that if he memorized the way he could once again return to the Phoenix Tail Village and find Feng Ling'er. Now, however, he finally understood that, from the moment he left the Phoenix Tail Village, it was a farewell forever. After that, no matter how he searched, he could not return to that place again. He had traveled to the southwest of the country more than thirty times in his life; every time he had returned disappointed.

”Senior Yun, Feng Ling'er does not necessarily want to kill you. Right now, I am afraid that something else is afoot. That Purplish Blue Flower of yours is a mature Purplish Blue Flower. It is most likely a few centuries old. If she wanted to use the Purplish Blue Flower's poison to kill you, you would probably already be dead.”

Mo Wen shook his head. The Purplish Blue Flower had been in the Yun clan for so many years, and nothing had happened to Yun Deguang. Instead, he had only been poisoned recently. This was clearly unusual. Back then, when Feng Ling'er gave the Purplish Blue Flower to Yun Deguang, she must have sealed the Purplish Blue Flower's poison. The seal had only disappeared recently.

”She doesn't want me dead? Does she not hate me?” Yun Deguang's figure began to tremble. Tears flowed from his eyes.

”Senior Yun, the reason I came was to inform you of Xiaoman's whereabouts, but now is not the time to rescue her,” Mo Wen said.

”It's not the right time? When will it be? If we delay for too long, then Xiaoman…” Yun Deguang immediately became anxious. Now that he knew that Yun Xiaoman had ended up in the hands of the Sorcerer Clan, it was as though he was sitting on a bed of needles; he could not wait to immediately fly to Phoenix Tail Village to Feng Ling'er's side. He, the ungrateful grandfather, was the one at fault. How could he let his granddaughter suffer the consequences?

”Don't worry. Right now, Xiaoman is very safe. She is participating in the Sorcerer Clan's Selection of the Moon Maidens. It is not necessarily a bad thing.”

Since Mo Qingtian had said that Yun Xiaoman's current safety was not an issue, Mo Wen had believed him. He explained matters regarding the Moon Maidens Selection to Senior Yun. However, he only mentioned the good parts and left out as much of the bad elements of the selection as he could. He wanted to convince Senior Yun that Yun Xiaoman was currently in no danger.

”I already have a plan in mind to rescue Xiaoman. Senior Yun, please don't be anxious. This matter is not trivial and cannot be rushed. Oh, and don't try to find the Phoenix Tail Village on your own. It is impossible for you to do so.”

The Phoenix Tail Village was in the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension. Even Mo Wen could not enter it without help, let alone Yun Deguang.

”Little friend Mo Wen, I know that you are a powerful person and that you can certainly find the Phoenix Tail Village. I shamelessly ask for one thing. When you go to the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension, can you take me along? I have not been there for fifty years.”

A hint of sorrow flashed in Yun Deguang's eyes. How many times had he dreamed of returning to that place? How long had he spent dreaming of the beautiful Feng Ling'er? It was as though everything was still by his side. However, such a long time had passed. Time had taken away too many things. Maybe only memories were eternal.

”Let me consider it for a while. When the time comes, we will see. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave.”

Mo Wen was going to be entering the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension with the Huatian Palace delegates. He did not know if he would be able to take Yun Deguang along. He could only say when the time came.

A look of disappointment flashed in Yun Deguang's eyes. However, Mo Wen had not rejected him outright. That meant that there was still hope. He knew that people like Mo Wen did not like mundane dealings. Hence, he did not ask Mo Wen to stay, and instead stood up to see him off.

Just as they reached the door, a silhouette suddenly swung it furiously. A person came in, nearly hitting Mo Wen. It was a beautiful young woman. She appeared to be in her thirties and there was something different about her temperament.

”Lixian, how can you be so impolite?” Yun Deguang frowned. He was receiving a guest in his study, and an important guest like Mo Wen at that. His own daughter-in-law had instead come barging in just like that.

”Father, forgive me. Just now Aunty Wang said that Xiaoman's whereabouts have been found. Is it true?” The beautiful young woman's expression was pale. The corner of her eyes had fine wrinkles and she seemed very frail. She was none other than Yun Xiaoman's mother, Yu Lixian. In the days following Xiaoman's disappearance, she had almost been driven mad. Xiaoman was her only daughter.

As she was talking, the young woman's gaze was fixed on Mo Wen. She clearly saw Mo Wen as a life-saver. She was so emotional that she nearly grabbed hold of Mo Wen's hand.

”Lixian, little friend Mo Wen has told me everything about this matter. I will tell you in detail later.” Yun Deguang sighed gently. Although he had heard of Xiaoman's whereabouts, he was not optimistic.

Mo Wen nodded his head slightly at Yu Lixian, then he walked out of the study. Yu Lixian reached out her hand and wanted to grab Mo Wen. She wanted to say more, but she retracted her hand after receiving a glare from Yun Deguang.

After leaving the Yun clan mansion, Mo Wen discovered that he did not have anything to do for a while except to wait for next month's Martial Arts Circle Convention. This matter was handled by Wang Yinru, so he did not need to do anything. However, with the Dafang Sect's current ability, it would be hard for them to participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention. They would be no match for the mysterious ancient martial arts factions that Mo Qingtian mentioned, let alone most of the ancient martial art practitioner sects that they knew of.

Originally, Mo Wen had wanted to gather some ancient martial art practitioners with good cultivation from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. But after all, the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was just a small Inner world, and there were limits to its ability. It was far from being comparable to other large Inner worlds. Also, most of the strong practitioners in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had portfolios in the Huatian Palace and were on record. These people could not participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention.
