Chapter 1274 - Within High Mountain City (2/2)
With Xue Ying’s attainments in the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm, he had easily increased his ‘charm’, increasing the goodwill of others towards him. But this could not be done too distinctly and the will of experts were not that easily moved. Hence, there were still several who did not show any goodwill towards Xue Ying, especially a protector who seemed to ‘hate’ him a lot.
This protector was known as ‘Tie Cheng Liu’.
Tie Cheng Liu was tall and big. His eyes were cold. His relations even with other protectors were very ordinary. Whenever he looked at Xue Ying, his eyes would be filled with cold and hatred. Given Xue Ying’s acute senses in the soul, Xue Ying easily felt some ‘vicious intent’ coming from the other party.
‘I have just come to this world and have never met him before. Why would he despise me so much?’ Xue Ying felt puzzled.
But he did not care about it.
It was just a protector who was merely a peak stage God General. That protector might be one step away from becoming a God Monarch, yet this step was as wide as a chasm. Hence, the disparity in their strength was enormous.
“We are here.”
“We have reached the High Mountain City.”
On a particular day, the ship resounded with cheers.
Standing at the head of the deck, Third Lady, Housekeeper Yun, the officers, soldiers, and many other servants revealed looks of joy! After all, none of them dared to relax when traveling out in the Great Wilderness.
‘High Mountain City.’ Xue Ying was also watching from afar. That was a huge city. But it did not seem as vast as the cities in Realm Heart Great LAnd. According to Xue Ying’s deduction, this High Mountain City was just several hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide.
After all, the soil and stone of this world were exaggeratedly heavy.
And the difficulty of constructing a city like this was not any less than constructing the capital of Southern Cloud Capital!
******
The main governor of the High Mountain City none other than the Imperial Wind Clan!
On this day when the ship reached the High Mountain City, within a palace in the residence of the Imperial Wind Clan.
Xue Ying saw the Crown Prince of the Imperial Wind Clan, who was also the acknowledged inheritor of the Imperial Wind Clan–––Imperial Wind Lei!
“Third Sister, is this the Ascendant that you have been praising about?” A tall and big male sat there. Lightning could be seen revolving faintly in his eyes. They gave off an extraordinary grandeur.
“Greetings Crown Prince.” Xue Ying slightly bowed.
When Imperial Wind Lei saw that, he chuckled: “I’ve always heard that Ascendants are incredibly proud and arrogant. And that is truly a justified reputation.”
“They have been the strongest experts back in their hometowns in the Lower Realm. It is natural for them to be filled with pride.” Seated by the side, Imperial Wind Qing Yin explained, “It is said that Ascendants have a hard time cultivating in the Divine Realm. However, God Monarch Flying Snow has reached the middle stage God Monarch realm. This is not an easy task at all.”
Imperial Wind Lei slightly nodded: “It is indeed an arduous task. Since my little sister has said it, God Monarch Flying Snow, you shall take on the role as a Cultivation Mentor in my Imperial Wind Clan from now on. I will also arrange a place for you to stay within the city.”
“Many thanks, Crown Prince.” Xue Ying obediently replied.
…
That’s right.
After meeting this Crown Prince Imperial Wind Lei, Xue Ying merely said two sentences–’Greetings Crown Prince’, and the other being ‘Many thanks, Crown Prince’ before being arranged to leave. That Crown Prince Imperial Wind Lei was clearly more enthusiastic about hearing out from his sister on her experience of ‘venturing into the wilderness’.
A residence occupying an area spanning a quarter kilometers was arranged for Xue Ying to stay in. Xue Ying was also bestowed with two huge boxes of treasures.
“Teacher Flying Snow, the things are here. The few of us will make our move first.”
“Many thanks everyone.”
Xue Ying sent the soldiers from the Imperial Wind Clan off with his eyes. Looking at this residence, he immediately smiled.
This place would most likely be a place he called ‘home’ for a long period in this world.
…
On the second night after arriving at High Mountain City.
Xue Ying was calmly meditating in the meditation room. At night, there was a red and a silver-white moon hanging in the sky. The brilliance from the moon shone across the courtyard. It was quiet.
“Mn?” Xue Ying frowned.
His soul was incredibly perceptive.
And he had felt the suppression of killing intent coming in his direction!
‘There are assassins?’ Xue Ying felt puzzled, ‘This is just my second day here in the High Mountain City yet there are people who want to kill me already?’
