Chapter 1057: Interception
The voice sounded very abruptly. Although the people around here were whispering, very few people would actively strike up a conversation with members of the Huai Clan. Moreover, this question was too absent-minded. If the members of the Huai Clan were not from Yingyun City, who else were?
The members of the Yingyun City looked at the youth that was standing before them. They had looks of caution in their eyes. Right now, there was no one in Yunhong City who didn’t know that they were from Yingyun City. What was this youth’s intention for stepping forward?
The ashen-faced Huai Clan second young mistress also stopped in her tracks as she looked at Mo Wen expressionlessly.
The people around them also gave Mo Wen baffling looks. Why was this youth suddenly looking for the people from Yingyun City? Right now, everyone knew that they could not simply strike up a conversation with them. Other people were keeping a distance from them, not daring to be involved with Yingyun City.
“Why don’t we travel together? I am also heading towards Yingyun City,” Mo Wen said with a smile.
By heading towards Yingyun City together with these people, not only would Mo Wen avoid taking a long way there, but he could also inquire about news on Yingyun City.
He did not reveal his ident.i.ty or his task. He did not know what Yingyun City’s current situation was; he would not foolishly stand out. The one who knows his own strength and that of the enemy is invincible in battle. Moreover, the matters of Yingyun City already involved Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators. Even Mo Wen did not dare to be reckless.
“What did he say?”
“My ears have not gone bad, right? He just said that he wanted to follow the Huai Clan second young mistress and her group and head to Yingyun City?”
“Has this youth gone insane? Could it be that he is a madman?”
…
Mo Wen’s words caused the surrounding crowd to glance at each other. At a time like this, there was actually someone heading towards Yingyun City, and he even wanted to head over there together with the Huai Clan second young mistress and her group!
They had seen people who did not fear death before. However, they had never seen one that did not fear death to such an extent.
Everyone knew that the Huai Clan second young mistress and her group would certainly face life-threatening dangers on their way back to Yingyun City. Whether or not they could make it back to Yingyun City alive was another question entirely.
With their current situation, the best choice for them was to immediately use the Sorcerer G.o.d Temple’s teleporting stratagem and escape the Ruyun Territorial Waters. Although the people of Yunhong City did not welcome the Huai Clan second young mistress, no one could prevent her from heading towards the Sorcerer G.o.d Temple. Even Venerable Master Hui Hong did not dare do so. Unfortunately, the Huai Clan second young mistress was too stubborn and would only walk the path to death.
“Who are you exactly?” The Huai Clan second young mistress gave Mo Wen a cold stare. The gazes that the people from Yingyun City gave Mo Wen grew even more cautious.
“I am a foreigner that is on his way to Yingyun City. However, I do not know the way, so I came to you for directions.” Mo Wen still remained smiling. He seemed to not have noticed the animosity and caution in the Huai Clan second young mistress’ voice.
“Let’s go.”
The Huai Clan second young mistress glared coldly at Mo Wen and then ignored him. She promptly became a beam of flowing light that flew up into the sky and headed towards the ocean.
The few Yingyun City cultivators sighed softly. They could only follow behind the Huai Clan second young mistress one by one. They were kamikaze warriors from the Huai Clan and were absolutely loyal to their clan. They were in charge of protecting the second young mistress as they made their way to Yunhong City. Most of them had either died or were injured. Initially, they wanted to let the second young mistress escape while they stayed behind to block off the pursuit of the members of Muhong City.
However, since it had come to this, as her subordinates, they had no choice but to follow the second young mistress to their deaths.
Mo Wen shook his head. These people were still rather cautious and serious. They clearly did not trust a person like him who had appeared out of nowhere.
Mo Wen could only helplessly continue to act bullish, flying upwards as he minded his own business. He followed not too far behind the members of Yingyun City.
“He is following us,” the Huai Clan second young mistress said in the distance with an ugly expression. They were not fools. No one would simply want to travel together with them at such times. Hence, the members of Yingyun City immediately saw that this youth of unknown origins had some other goal in mind.
“Second young mistress, might he be a person from Muhong City?” A subordinate asked with an ugly expression. He suspected that the youth was a member of Muhong City. He probably wanted to follow them and intercept them along the way.
“There is a possibility. However, there is also a chance of the contrary. After all, the members of Muhong City have no need to use such a roundabout method to deal with us.” Another subordinate frowned. The youth’s behavior was too bizarre. They could not wrap their fingers around him.
“Don’t mind him. Let’s rush back to Yingyun City as fast as we can. If he steps out of line, kill him!” The Huai Clan second young mistress said in a cold tone.
“Yes!” The few kamikaze warriors of Yingyun City acknowledged in low voices. A cold killing intent flashed past in their eyes.
Mo Wen followed behind the Huai Clan second young mistress’ group casually. With his abilities, he could naturally follow behind them effortlessly, despite the group actually trying to throw him off a few times.
“All members of Yingyun City have levels of cultivation that are not low. All five subordinates are Tide Changing Realm cultivators. The most powerful one among the five of them has a later stage Tide Changing Realm level of cultivation. As for that of the Huai Clan second young mistress, even her level of cultivation is at the beginning stage of Tide Changing Realm. Yingyun City is most likely not an ordinary faction in the Ruyun Territorial Waters,” Mo Wen mused.
Along the way, Mo Wen also a.n.a.lyzed the group’s levels of cultivation. All of them were Tide Changing Realm cultivators. If they were in ordinary factions in the outside world, they would undoubtedly be a very frightening power. However, right now, this group of people had looks of indecision. They were always cautiously glancing around at their surroundings and were extremely careful along the way.
“We can’t seem to throw him off,” In the distance, a Yingyun City cultivator said somewhat disheartened.
Along the way, they had been trying to shake off that person. However, no matter what they did, he still managed to keep up with them.
“That person’s speed is very frightening. He seems to have been strolling the whole way. His deified soul is also very powerful and has been locked onto us from the very beginning. No matter what methods we use, we will not be able to escape his pursuit.”
The leading kamikaze warrior frowned. Before this, they had tried hiding from him and using stratagems to cover their tracks, but all of them had failed.
“Of course you cannot throw us off. Do you want to throw us, the members of Muhong City off, with just you small fries?”
A sinister laugh suddenly sounded. In front of them, a ma.s.s of dark clouds colored black and purple blocked the members of Yingyun City. The voice came from the ma.s.s of black and purple clouds.
The expressions of the members of Yingyun City changed drastically. All of them came to a stop. They were very familiar with this ma.s.s of black and purple clouds. Their expressions turned pale.
“Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer!” The leading subordinate of Yingyun City said with a hoa.r.s.e voice.
He had an extremely serious look on his face. Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer were so famous that almost everyone in the Ruyun Territorial Waters had heard of them. Even many people from the neighboring territorial waters knew about these two demons.
“Muahaha, you small fries are actually foolish enough to return to seek your deaths. Since that is your wish, don’t blame me for being rude.”
The ma.s.s of black and purple clouds churned and two silhouettes walked out from them. They were two hideous monsters. They had bizarrely shaped appearances, as though they were formed by attaching different parts of beasts together. No matter what they resembled, they were not humans.
Almost everyone in the Ruyun Territorial Waters had heard of Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer. The two of them cultivated rather bizarre sorcery. Although they cultivated to the point that their own bodies were deformed, the might of their sorcery was frightening beyond comparison. The two of them were just later stage Tide Changing Realm cultivators. However, when they joined forces, they could put up a fight against a cultivator with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm.
Of course, the fame of Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer did not stem only from how high their levels of cultivation and how terrifying their abilities were. In the Ruyun Territorial Waters, there were many cultivators with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm. However, many of them were not as renowned as Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer. It was because the two of them were brutal killers with countless enemies. They were demons that horrified others.
“Second young mistress, you go on ahead. We will hold them back,” the leading kamikaze warrior said as he ground his teeth.
All of them were kamikaze warriors raised by the Yingyun City’s previous mayor, Wise Man Huai Guang, since they were young. They were extremely loyal to the Huai Clan. Right now, none of them were afraid of dying. All of them stood forward, in front of the Huai Clan second young mistress.
“With the two of us here, all of you still wish to escape?” Purple Sorcerer laughed sinisterly.
Black Sorcerer did not say anything. With a wave of his hand, a beam of crimson light flew out from his sleeves. It was a small flag that was as crimson as blood. There were bizarre runes and crimson light glistening on it. Once it appeared, it enveloped the sky and the earth below. Within a radius of 10 000 miles, the entire sky turned dark.
“The Crimson Blood Demonic Flag!” The expression of the Huai Clan second young mistress changed slightly. She never imagined that Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer would actually bring out the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag.
The Crimson Blood Demonic Flag was an earth spiritual treasure of Muhong City. It was the personal treasure of the mayor of Muhong City. She never imagined that in order to deal with them, the mayor of Muhong City had actually lent the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag to Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer.
Within the area enveloped by the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag, the hope of them escaping was too slim. Moreover, unlike before, they had already lost most of their members.
“Huai Clan Second Young Mistress, prior to this, we were careless and let you escape once. Did you think that you would have a second chance to do so?”
Purple Sorcerer kept on laughing. It was naturally impossible for the mayor of Muhong City to just watch as the group from Yingyun City headed towards Yunhong City. Hence, he had sent his men to stop them. In the end, his men had failed. The members of Yingyun City had a few incredible treasures. The kamikaze warriors’ levels of cultivation were also not low. This time, for the sake of caution, not only did the mayor send out Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer, they even brought along the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag.
“Second Young Mistress, you have the Sishui Spirit Imprint on you. That is a treasure that the lord mayor had coveted for a long time. How can we let you escape again?” Black Sorcerer said indifferently.
The Sishui Spirit Imprint was the most important treasure of Yingyun City. It was Wise Man Huai Guang’s personal treasure. It was also an earth spiritual treasure. However, its might was a level higher compared to the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag. Before this, the Huai Clan second young mistress had used the Sishui Spirit Imprint to escape from their pursuit and enter into Yunhong City.
He never imagined that the Huai Clan second young mistress would be so foolish. She actually did not escape and instead came running back into their trap.
“Stop talking to them. Aside from capturing the second young mistress alive, kill the rest. Humph, with the Huai Clan second young mistress in our hands, let’s see whether the Huai Clan first young mistress will follow suit.”
Purple Sorcerer began to laugh sinisterly. With a flash, his silhouette disappeared from his original position. When he appeared once again, his silhouette had already appeared before the Huai Clan second young mistress. A beast claw burning with purple flame furiously reached out to her.
At the same time, in an instant, Black Sorcerer also appeared before the Yingyun City kamikaze warriors. The two sorcerers seemed to be proficient in melee combat. Black Sorcerer’s silhouette shook slightly and another six arms suddenly appeared on his body. He attacked all five members of Yingyun City at once.
The Huai Clan second young mistress had a cold expression. She flicked her wrist and the next moment, a beam of spiritual light suddenly lit up and became ripples. It clashed into Purple Sorcerer’s arm and actually knocked him back two steps.
“As expected, the Sishui Spirit Imprint’s might is well-deserving of its reputation.” Purple Sorcerer’s eyes lit up. He was not angered, instead delighted. His eyes burned hot with pa.s.sion. The Huai Clan second young mistress’ level of cultivation was only at the beginning stage of the Tide Changing Realm and she actually managed to knock him back. As expected, the Sishui Spirit Imprint was frightening. No wonder the lord mayor coveted this item so much. Unfortunately, this item had already been booked. The two of them could only glance at it.
