993 Simple And Clean (1/2)
In the ancient land, the standard of weapon refining was so poor, so the sudden appearance of a powerful weapon refining master would quickly be noticed.
”The Multicolor Queen has her eye on Junxue's manufacturing techniques? Doesn't that mean that the Multicolor Queen will keep Junxue alive for now?” A look of joy flashed in Chu Yu's eyes. He was afraid that Nie Junxue had already been killed by the Multicolor Queen.
”Madman Xiao's analysis is reasonable. When Junxue sent me her message, the contents mentioned weapon refining,” Wen Jiuhai said as he nodded his head.
Out of the three of them, he was the only one who had received Junxue's distress Sound Resonating Talisman. Although there was not much information in it, it mentioned that she had found many precious weapon refining materials in the ancient land and was preparing to manufacture a bunch of spiritual treasures. Before she could begin, she had been discovered by the Multicolor Queen.
”Although the four of us entered the preliminary ancient land together, Junxue's methods are different from ours. She didn't steal any of the foreign clan's treasures and instead bartered to exchange treasures with the foreign clans. Who would have thought that she would be the one who would get into trouble?” Wen Jiuhai said.
Nie Junxue must have caught the eye of foreign clan members, and they had an ulterior motive for dealing with her. The Multicolor Clan was the most proficient at monitoring other people. It was likely that the Multicolor Clan had noticed Nie Junxue's activities in the ancient land a while ago. The fact that she was manufacturing treasures would have immediately caught their attention. This caused the Multicolor Queen to personally capture Nie Junxue.
”Since the Multicolor Queen values Junxue's manufacturing techniques, she will treat her well and make her work for the benefit of the Multicolor Clan. I suspect that Nie Junxue is currently not locked up in a deep and dark dungeon. Instead, she will be held captive somewhere quite nice, but it will also be a place that she can't escape from,” Xiao Jinghe said as he continued to analyze the situation.
A dungeon was a place to lock up criminals. Since the Multicolor Queen valued Nie Junxue, she would not lock her up in a place like that.
”There can't be many places like that in Multicolor City,” Chu Yu said. ”We're looking for somewhere that can imprison Nie Junxue, is not too shabby and is also a place that Nie Junxue can't escape from. If we eliminate the places that don't fulfill those criteria, we are only left with a few places.”
”I think the most likely place is the Multicolor Queen's Palace. The chances of Nie Junxue being there are fairly high,” Wen Jiuhai said.
”However, if Nie Junxue is being kept in close proximity to the Multicolor Queen, it makes rescuing her really difficult,” Wen Jiuhai said with a frown.
If Nie Junxue was locked up anywhere else, they might still have a chance of rescuing her. However, if she was imprisoned in the Multicolor Queen's Palace, they would certainly be unable to avoid the Multicolor Queen during their rescue attempt. That would make everything much more difficult.
The Multicolor Queen was a strong force to be reckoned with. It would be almost impossible to rescue someone from her clutches.
They all fell silent. Indeed, if Nie Junxue was locked up in the palace, then her position was easy to locate. However, rescuing her would be incredibly difficult. Even if they all combined their combat power, they would not be a match for the Multicolor Queen. Moreover, there were countless experts in Multicolor City. There were most likely more than one or two experts like the Flame Horn King. Once matters started to escalate, they might not even have the opportunity to get close to the Multicolor Queen because they would be dealing with other warriors.
”What should we do?”
They frowned. If this was the outside world, these princelings of the Huatian Palace would never be so helpless. However, in the preliminary ancient land, even the Huatian Palace Palace Lords would most likely have no way of dealing with this, let alone them.
”I have an idea,” Mo Wen said. He had remained silent up until now.
”Oh, do you really have a plan?” Chu Yu looked at Mo Wen. His eyes showed that he did not dare believe Mo Wen. Even they could not come up with any ideas. What could Mo Wen do?
Wen Jiuhai also looked at Mo Wen, not knowing whether this youth was speaking the truth.
”What's your idea?” Xiao Jinghe's eyes lit up. Only he had confidence in Mo Wen.
”Since Nie Junxue is most likely in the Multicolor Queen's Palace, it will be impossible to rescue her and avoid the Multicolor Queen. There's no chance of a secret rescuing attempt working. Why don't we just stop avoiding her and knock on her door and demand Nie Junxue's safe return?” Mo Wen said.
This was the Multicolor Clan's territory. As human preliminary cultivators, they were unfamiliar with this place. They were also in a situation where they were public enemy number one. No matter how thorough or perfect a plan they came up with, it would still be full of all kinds of unpredictable factors. If there was even a slight mishap, their plans would fail completely.
They might as well go straight to the source. In this world, everything was defined by their abilities.
”Go and knock on their door?” Chu Yu rolled his eyes. What plan was this? It was suicide!
Wen Jiuhai was also speechless. He had expected Mo Wen to present an actual plan. Who would have thought that he would actually utter such a dauntless sentence? If this could be pulled off, did he even need to mention it? There were only a few of them. Wouldn't it be the same as them committing suicide?
”Are you confident?” Xiao Jinghe looked Mo Wen in the eye. His intuition told him that this youth was not someone who would fool around. Also, Mo Wen's performance in Flame Horn City had given Xiao Jinghe a very deep impression of this youth's ability. He trusted him.
Chu Yu and Wen Jiuhai looked at Xiao Jinghe in surprise. What was up with Madman Xiao today? Usually, if someone were to offer up such a plan, he would probably have laughed in their face. Could it be that he believed that Mo Wen could pull it off?
Chu Yu and Wen Jiuhai thought of the same question at the same time, but the answer was somewhat unbelievable.
”I'm not confident that I can defeat the Multicolor Queen. There might still be a very huge difference between me and such a strong practitioner. However, I am confident that the Multicolor Queen can't handle me,” Mo Wen said.
