Chapter 439 - Yongxiang City (2/2)

Nonetheless, Yongxiang City was different. It was said that the ones that could communicate with the upper realm were not from a family clan but a sect.

It was the Mysterious Mirror Sect.

The sect was incredibly old, making it on par with the imperial family. Even so, they never got involved in disputes among the people nor did they care about worldly powers. They focused on nurturing elites for the Humans.

Without the shackles of an inherited bloodline, the sect was able to recruit talents from the capital and the eight counties into their sect.

Other than the imperial family’s greatest powerhouse, who had surpa.s.sed the Extreme Grade, a great ancestor at the peak of Extreme Grade was considered the mightiest powerhouse.

Legend had it that it was not the imperial family that had the most Supreme Great Ancestors at the peak, but the Mysterious Mirror Sect.

Furthermore, instead of the influential clans, the Mysterious Mirror Sect had the greatest power of discourse in Yongxiang City.

However, none of the people that welcomed Her Highness was from the Mysterious Mirror Sect. Regardless of the reason, it did not seem to be a good sign.

“Elder Brother, you mustn’t misunderstand us. The Mysterious Mirror Sect has a rule; the disciples mustn’t initiate contacts with officials and aren’t allowed to take up official posts.” Jiang Jiumei grinned and whispered to the young fellow, “My master and the others aren’t here because they want to avoid arousing suspicion.” Ou Yangming nodded. He seemed to be indifferent, but he respected the Mysterious Mirror Sect’s decision.

Wu Hanning stepped forward. She was already used to such situations, so she dealt with it easily and made the people from Yongxiang City feel the attention and warmth from the imperial family. Not to mention the governor and the general, who were already depending on the imperial family, even the other Supreme Great Ancestors treated the princess with respect.

Seeing as Wu Hanning handled everything like an expert, Ou Yangming could not help but lament.

Sure enough, the legendary talented young lady, who was given all the resources from the imperial family since young, was different from ordinary ladies.

Before long, they all found their paths back to the city.

Given Wu Hanning’s ident.i.ty, Yu Jinshuang and Lao Boyi had obviously arranged the grandest carriage to welcome her into the city.

In spite of that, none of the horses could stay within 34 meters from Multi-armed King Kong. As a result, the governor and the general could only walk anxiously with Wu Hanning, and they secretly prayed that she would not bear a grudge against them because of this.

Once Ou Yangming waved his hand, Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk stopped following them. The two humongous creatures looked at each other, then the goshawk soared into the sky.

It fixed its gaze on Ou Yangming wherever it went, and it could see everything as long as no buildings were in the way.

At last, Yu Jinshuang and his people sighed breaths of relief when they were more than 340 meters away from the king kong.

Even though they had intentionally avoided asking about the king kong’s background and neglected the uncontrollable factor, they were still very worried. They were afraid that the gigantic creature would suddenly rage and harm them.

They would be fine if they were the ones hurt, but they would end up in an even more miserable state if Her Highness was harmed instead.

“Your Highness, please.” After guiding Wu Hanning into the carriage, Lao Boyi turned to look at Multi-armed King Kong, then he quietly approached Ou Yangming and asked, “Master Ou, did you really subdue it?”

Ou Yangming smiled. Seeing as Zuoqiu Hongyuan nodded at him from a distance away, he knew the young man had told the others about him and the king kong. “General Lao, King Kong is my pet beast indeed,” he answered.

“Ah! H-how did you do it?” Lao Boyi asked the young fellow eagerly. “Uhm…” Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and thought, ‘How would I know? Who exactly is that hidden Almighty Being?’

Lao Boyi quickly explained himself when he noticed the look on Ou Yangming’s face, “Master Ou, please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not trying to find out about your secret; } only want to ask for a favor.”

Ou Yangming relaxed and questioned, “What is it?”

He would not decline the general if he asked for a magic tool.

Lao Boyi was the city’s commanding general, after all, and was closely connected with the imperial family. Even if it was for the sake of Wu Hanning, Ou Yangming would not reject the general. Who knew, Lao Boyi stopped and bowed at him. “Master Ou, since you’re able to conquer two spirit beasts, please do the same to the one in Yongxiang County!”
