Chapter 31 - Ancient Moon City, Sudden Happening (1/2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Yiming descended from the sky and slowly entered Ancient Moon City.

The streets in the city were bustling with activity.

Ancient Moon City was a city under the jurisdiction of the Divine Phoenix Empire.

However, it happened to be located at the border between the Divine Phoenix Empire and the Huoyun Sect.

It could be said that the small city was full of people making trips to and fro the Divine Phoenix Empire and the Huoyun Sect every day.

Although most of the people in this marginal area were mortals, there were also cultivators from both sides.

Of course, Jiang Yiming had his plans for coming to this small city.

Now that the Lingyun Sect and the Huoyun Sect had become mortal enemies, it would be difficult for them to recruit disciples within the Huoyun Sect’s jurisdiction.

On the other hand, the relationship between Huang Chaoyu and the Divine Phoenix Empire was also hostile.

Therefore, Jiang Yiming could not go to the central cities of the Divine Phoenix Empire either.

As thus, he could only set his sights on a place like this where both sides did not care much about it.

Such a place could be considered a somewhere the good and the bad were jumbled togehter.

There were those sinners who ran between the two sides, and there were also quite a number of geniuses who wanted to seek opportunities on the other side.

Whether or not he could meet a genius would ultimately depend on fate.

However, Jiang Yiming was willing to give it a try.

After arriving at Ancient Moon City, Jiang Yiming asked someone where the most lively place in the city was.

It was a restaurant called Yunlai in the center of the city.

After Jiang Yiming thanked the person, he went straight to Yunlai Restaurant.

He chose a table by the window and sat down. He ordered a few jars of wine and began to drink alone.

On the surface, he was drinking alone, but his attention was actually focused on the customers at the side.

Generally speaking, cultivators from all over the world would usually gather in such a lively place to tell their stories.

Not only did Jiang Yiming want to take in disciples, but he also wanted to learn about the Huoyun Sect and the Divine Phoenix Empire.

The best place to go for purposes like this was naturally a restaurant like this!

Since Jiang Yiming entered the restaurant, he had heard all kinds of news.

Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with the two major factions, nor did it involve the news of any geniuses.

Jiang Yiming could only shake his head helplessly, feeling a little bored.

“Oh right, have you heard about the recent happenings in the Huoyun Sect?” At this moment, a bearded man suddenly spoke.

The customers sitting at the same table with him were momentarily stunned as they asked in puzzlement, “What could have happened in the Huoyun Sect?”

Upon hearing their words, Jiang Yiming’s interest was immediately piqued.

The bearded man continued to speak, “Recently, a Nascent Soul Realm elder of theirs died!”

“What?!”

The moment these words were said, it was as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake.

The surrounding customers surrounded the bearded man and stared at him.

“The death of a Nascent Soul Realm elder is a huge matter! Why did it happen? Could it be that someone has started a war with the fire cloud sect? Is it the Divine Phoenix Empire?” Immediately, a customer said.

The bearded man shook his head and said, “No, it’s true that someone has started a war with the Huoyun Sect. However, it’s a sect called the Lingyun Sect.”

“The Lingyun Sect? I’ve never heard of it. Have you?”

Many people shook their heads.

“What’s going on? Don’t keep us guessing. Tell us!”

“That’s right. If you don’t tell us, I’ll be curious to death!”

Looking at the anxious looks of the crowd, the bearded man laughed and said slowly, “This Lingyun Sect was originally a fifth rank force under the control of the Huoyun Sect. But recently, for some unknown reason, the Lingyun Sect has produced an extremely powerful sect leader. Not only did the sect leader refuse to continue giving offerings to the Huoyun Sect, but he also killed a group of Huoyun Sect disciples. Just a few days ago, he even killed a Nascent Soul Realm elder whom the Huoyun Sect had sent to question them!”
