834 The Hold Up (1/2)
Lu Chuan invited Mo Wen to sit down and brewed some high-quality Longjing tea before asking what the matter was. Someone like Mo Wen would not visit him for no reason. Even if Mo Wen did not say anything, Lu Chuan knew that Mo Wen had come to him with a particular purpose in mind.
Mo Wen took out two letters. One was for Wang Yinru and the other was for Tan Qiyue, who was still in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. He was leaving all matters concerning the Martial Arts Circle Convention to the two of them.
”So you just want me to deliver two letters? I thought it must be something major to have someone as important as Executor Mo come to me,” Lu Chuan said teasingly. He had not expected Mo Wen to come to see him just to deliver two letters.
”I'll trouble Executor Lu with regards to this matter then,” Mo Wen said with a smile.
”It is just a small matter that is not worth mentioning. To tell the truth, I was worried earlier that you would ask me to do something that I could not do. Now I can stop worrying about it,” Lu Chuan said with a laugh.
”Executor Lu, now that you have said this, I really do have a request. Do you have a Dragon City Talisman here?”
The Dragon City Talisman was a ticket to enter Dragon City. It was controlled by Huatian Palace and the way it was made resembled the making of spell talismans. However, it was only meant for identification purposes and did not have any other power. Dragon City talismans were made specially and each talisman had a code. They were all carefully recorded and could not be replicated.
Some high-cultivation immortal cultivators might be able to replicate the Dragon City Talisman but could not replicate the code on it. If the codes did not match, the talisman would not be able to pass the Huatian Palace checks no matter how real it looked.
One could see from this how strictly Huatian Palace managed the Dragon City Talisman.
The Dragon City Talisman was the way to enter the Dragon City. Other than internal members of Huatian Palace, anyone else who wanted to enter the Dragon City would have to have the Dragon City Talisman.
”Executor Mo, why do you need the Dragon City Talisman? You can enter Dragon City freely given your status,” Lu Chuan asked curiously. Five-star executors and above of Huatian Palace could all enter and leave Dragon City freely. They could enter Dragon City based on the rings they wore and did not need the Dragon City Talisman.
”I have a few friends who want to join the bustle in Dragon City. I am asking for the talisman for them,” Mo Wen replied with a smile.
”Oh, I only have three Dragon City Talismans and I have already handed all of them out. However, you are a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall. Huatian Palace's rules say that you can have 10 Dragon City Talismans. If Executor Mo needs them, I can request them from Huatian Palace. However, I will need a little time.”
Lu Chuan hummed for a moment before speaking. The world was so big, but there was only one Dragon City. Every time the Martial Arts Circle Convention started, Dragon City would attract countless warriors. As well as the main space, the warriors also came from various inner worlds and even from abroad.
Even though Dragon City was not small, it could not hold too many people either. As such, the number of people who could enter Dragon City was strictly controlled and ordinary people could not enter.
Because of its scarcity, the Dragon City Talisman was very precious and valuable. Some people would spend exorbitant amounts of money just to get their hands on a Dragon City Talisman. Of course, those people who spent an exorbitant sum did not just go to Dragon City to watch the Martial Arts Circle Convention. They usually had greater goals.
Lu Chuan was a chief executor of a branch palace and only received three Dragon City Talismans. He had sold the three talismans to a few sects in the Taihang Mountains for a great sum of money.
”How long will that take?” Mo Wen asked.
”Two days at most. You are a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, so Huatian Palace will definitely place give your request priority. However, Executor Mo, are you going to request all ten Dragon City Talismans?” Lu Chuan asked with some envy. The members of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall had more benefits than any other regular executors. Ordinary six-star executors would be allocated two talismans at most, and sometimes only one. He was the chief executor of a branch palace and worked very hard, but only received one additional talisman.
Mo Wen, on the other hand, could get ten just like that.
”Then I will come in two days.” Mo Wen smiled and stood up. He did not intend to stay for long. After all, Wan'er and Wang Qian were still outside.
When Mo Wen got back to the Missions Palace Hall, Mei Yixuan and Qi Han had already returned and were speaking with Wan'er and Wang Qian. The two elders did not seem any different from earlier on the outside, but Mo Wen could keenly sense that the two were feeling very anxious. However, they hid that very well and did not show it. It seemed as if they had a million dollars on them and they were afraid that someone might steal that. Could it be that the two had exchanged a valuable treasure in Huatian Palace?
A glint flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. He knew that the two had gone to the Redemption Main Hal earlier. Their emotions right now made Mo Wen think that they had received a treasure in exchange for another valuable object.
”Wan'er, we are done. Let's go back to the sect.” Mei Yixuan showed no desire to stay in Huatian Palace and instead decided that they were leaving. Her steps were hurried as if she was in a rush to return to the Five Tigers Sect.
The entourage left Huatian Palace and walked in the direction of the Five Tigers Sect. However, they had only traveled 50 miles before something happened.
Suddenly, there was a yell from the forests on both sides of the path, and more than ten figures surrounded the five of them. The people were dressed in black and wore masks, leaving only their eyes exposed.
Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang's expression changed and grew extremely worried.
”Who are you? Why have you stopped us?” Mei Yixuan asked coldly, inhaling deeply. However, she could not help the cold sweat that trickled from her palms.
