Chapter 1062 - Huai Hongxiu (1/2)

The Purple and Black Sorcerers could not cry no matter how much they wanted to. Not only did they not catch the Huai Clan second young mistress, but they had also lost the Muhong City Mayor’s Crimson Blood Demonic Flag. Most importantly of all, they had faced the danger of being suspected.

“Lord Mayor, if what the Purple and Black Sorcerers said is true, then the person’s power is probably infinitely close to the Supreme Profundity Realm. Perhaps he’s already there, but he’s intentionally concealing his cultivation. Besides, he’s returning with the Huai Clan second young mistress. Do you think that person is reinforcement from Yingyun City?” someone from the Sorcerer Clan said.

The person had the head of an eagle but the body of a human. He was a cultivator with great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm and one of the higher-ups of Muhong City, so he held an important position, one that was far higher than that of the Purple and Black Sorcerers.

“We can’t be sure as of now, but we might actually run into him since he’s with the Huai Clan second young mistress, and we might not have to wait long.”

The Muhong City Mayor squinted, his eyes glinting with a cold light. Maybe no one else knew, but he knew very well that the Huai Clan second young mistress did not use the long-distance teleporting stratagem in the Sorcerer God Temple in Yunhong City, which necessarily meant that she would return to Yingyun City.

He had received a secret report earlier that all teleporting stratagems heading towards Yingyun city would be destroyed. The entire city was burning its boats in preparation for this war.

Huai Hongxiu was a vicious and decisive woman indeed. This one move, burning all her boats, was exceptionally ingenious. Morale for the entire Yingyun City had concentrated within the city and their will to fight was unprecedentedly strong, because it was either they fight or they die. Initially, the most ideal outcome would have been to subdue this Huai Hongxiu. However, judging by the current situation, the odds seemed rather bleak.

Since the teleportation stratagems had already been destroyed, the Huai Clan second young mistress could only barge through the front gates if she wanted to return to Yingyun City.

At the thought of this, the Muhong City Mayor’s lips lifted into a cold smile.

“All of you come with me. You’re all curious about the new guy, right? Maybe we’ll see him soon.”

After those words, the Muhong City Mayor left the palace that had been built at the last minute. He stood at a tall point and looked towards the lofty Yingyun City.

All of the people from Muhong City were confused and wondered why their Lord Mayor would say something like this, but since he said it, there was no reason for them to disagree. All of them followed him and stepped out.

Then, just as the crowd had walked out of the main hall and barely had the time to take in a breath of the fresh outside air, they saw a beam of light flying over from the far distance. The light was flying over quickly, at a terrifyingly high speed.

“Huh, that is…”

“Who’s that with the flowing light? He’s moving so quickly, and he’s probably headed towards Yingyun City.”

“Who’s that? My cultivation is already at the great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm, and yet my release speed is still not half as quick as his.”

Shock flashed in the eyes of all the Muhong City cultivators. That flowing light was moving too quickly, quick like thunder as it sped by.

“Hm, it’s a lot faster than I had anticipated. What a shame…”

The Muhong City Mayor looked at the flowing light that was approaching closer and closer, and he huffed. Originally, he had thought of lying in ambush beneath Yingyun City and then wait for them to approach, taking them out in one go after they moved within their perimeter. However, it was already too late for that now.

…

Mo Wen no longer had to stay in hiding since they were storming Yingyun City now, so he went as fast as he could. His figure was fleeting as he made his journey and he crossed hundreds and thousands of miles in an instant.

Within the amount of time needed to brew a pot of tea, Yingyun City appeared in front of their eyes.

Yingyun City had also been built on an island, and the island was similarly named Yingyun Island, and it was like the numerous islands within Ruyun Territorial Waters. After all, Wise Man Huai Guang had been a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator back then and he had been the most elite presence within the entire Ruyun Territorial Waters.

Even while they were still thousands of miles away, he could feel the looming presence of Yingyun City, and that it had a strange aura. For a large city for immortal cultivators, it barely had any cultivators passing by in a 10 000 mile radius, much less cultivators who were going in and out of the city. The atmosphere was tense and serious.

Mo Wen brought the Huai Clan second young mistress, moving forth without stopping. The flowing light was like a rainbow, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed as they flew towards Yingyun City.

“Who’s there? Halt.”

An angry voice rang out very soon. After that, streaks of figures took to the skies, trying to stop that beam of flowing light.

Mo Wen’s gaze swept over those cultivators and a hint of joy flashed across his eyes. Those cultivators did not have low-level cultivation, and even the lowest of them was at the Tide Changing Realm. All of them had swarmed out the moment Mo Wen first appeared as if they had been waiting beneath Yingyun City.

“It’s more likely than not that the Purple and Black Sorcerers have seen the Muhong City Mayor,” Mo Wen thought.

The Huai Clan second young mistress, who had been brought along by Mo Wen, blanched. She knew all those people. They were higher-level cultivators of Muhong City and each one of them had extraordinary cultivation. They had only just come close to Yingyun City, so how was it that they had appeared all of a sudden. Their reaction was just too quick, no? It was as if they had already known the two of them would be coming.

“Stay.”
