Chapter 2317: Chapter 2317: Blocking the Path
Elder Ming Hua and Elder Yu Hui of the Mystic Moon Trading House arrived at Wuxia City not long after.
"How do the two Elders have the leisure to come to my place?"
Wuxia Immortal Venerable personally came out to welcome these two Elders of the Mystic Moon Trading House.
In her purple long dress and with her purple pupils, Wuxia Immortal Venerable was still as stunning as ever. After accumulating over ten thousand years, Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s realm had become even more stable, her aura restrained.
"Wuxia Immortal Venerable, this time we have come, it is indeed because of an extremely important matter." Elder Ming Hua glanced at Elder Yu Hui, then said in a low voice.
Inside the room, there were only Wuxia Immortal Venerable and these two Elders of the Mystic Moon Trading House.
"Please speak, Elder Ming Hua." Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s beautiful eyes looked at the other party as she spoke.
"According to the intelligence our Mystic Moon Trading House has grasped, the Slaughter God Hall has been moving frequently in the shadows recently, I fear they intend something unfavorable toward Wuxia City." Elder Ming Hua’s expression was solemn.
Hearing Elder Ming Hua’s words, Wuxia Immortal Venerable did not show any look of surprise.
In fact, during this recent period of time, Wuxia Immortal Venerable had also obtained some pieces of information. She knew that the Sixth Saint Hand of the Slaughter God Hall had appeared many times near Wuxia City. The Sixth Saint Hand of the Slaughter God Hall was most skilled in tracking, concealment, and gathering intelligence. His appearance in Wuxia City was definitely with some intent.
Wuxia Immortal Venerable looked at Elders Ming Hua and Yu Hui, waiting for the other party to continue.
"Wuxia Immortal Venerable, the Slaughter God Hall’s forces are ferocious, you cannot afford not to guard against them! Our purpose in coming this time is to invite Wuxia Immortal Venerable to go to the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters and reside there for a period of time." Elder Yu Hui also spoke.
Wuxia Immortal Venerable smiled and said, "If I go to the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters, I’m afraid the Slaughter God Hall will be displeased with the Mystic Moon Trading House, no? The Slaughter God Hall will clearly see that the Mystic Moon Trading House is helping me. Why does the Mystic Moon Trading House wish to help me to such an extent, not hesitating to offend the Slaughter God Hall?"
Back when Jing Yan left Faro Heaven, he had discussed this matter with Elder Kuo Lian, but Wuxia Immortal Venerable did not know the inside story.
"Wuxia Immortal Venerable still doesn’t know?" Elder Ming Hua was somewhat surprised.
"Know what?" Wuxia asked.
"Before Fellow Daoist Jing Yan went to Nightmare City, he entrusted our Mystic Moon Trading House to keep an eye on the movements of the Slaughter God Hall. Our Mystic Moon Trading House also agreed to Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s request." Elder Ming Hua said.
He did not say that it was Jing Yan who asked them to protect Wuxia Immortal Venerable; saying it that way would damage Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s face.
Wuxia’s heart trembled slightly, and faint threads of sweetness surged up.
Originally she had not planned to go to the Mystic Moon Trading House, but after learning that this was Jing Yan’s intention, her thoughts naturally changed.
"Many thanks to the two Elders." Wuxia Immortal Venerable expressed her thanks.
"Wuxia Immortal Venerable need not be so polite with us. Then when shall we set out?" Elder Ming Hua raised his brows and asked.
"We can depart at any time." On Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s side, there was nothing that needed preparation anyway; even if she was not in Wuxia City, there were people to handle the affairs of the Wuxia City region.
If the Slaughter God Hall truly intended to make a move against Wuxia City, it was also for the sake of dealing with her. Once she left Wuxia City, the Slaughter God Hall would have no need to attack Wuxia City again.
"Very well, then let us prepare to depart now. As long as we reach the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters, the Slaughter God Hall will be helpless against us." Elder Ming Hua said with a smile.
"Then I will go and give some instructions to the people below. In an hour, we’ll leave." Wuxia said.
Outside Wuxia City, in a remote place.
A gray figure stood there silently.
He took out a Communication Magical Treasure, a few vicious glints flashing in his eyes.
This person was precisely the Sixth Saint, Shadow Demon, of the Slaughter God Hall. Before Jing Yan had left Faro Heaven, this Shadow Demon had once tracked Jing Yan for a period of time. In this recent period, he had been lingering near Wuxia City, monitoring the movements within Wuxia City.
"Big Brother!" Shadow Demon sent a message.
"Mm!" Very quickly, the voice of the First Saint came from the other side.
"The Mystic Moon Trading House has moved. Those two, Ming Hua and Yu Hui, entered Wuxia City not long ago." Shadow Demon reported.
He had been near Wuxia City all along, so Ming Hua and Yu Hui entering Wuxia City to meet Wuxia Immortal Venerable could not possibly escape the notice of the Sixth Saint, Shadow Demon.
"Hmph!"
"Damn Mystic Moon Trading House, these bastards are dead set on opposing my Slaughter God Hall! Damn mongrels!" The enraged voice of the First Saint came.
"Sooner or later, I will raze the Mystic Moon Trading House to the ground!"
Although Shadow Demon was not in front of the First Saint at this moment, he could still feel the anger in the First Saint’s voice.
"Proceed according to the original plan." The First Saint then spoke again; this time his voice had already returned to calm.
"Yes!" The Sixth Saint, Shadow Demon, responded.
An hour later, three figures swiftly flew out from within Wuxia City.
Shadow Demon, who had been watching the Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion, suddenly had his eyes light up, then his figure flickered as he followed. The Sixth Saint, Shadow Demon, was extremely fast. Among Cultivators of the Immortal Venerable Realm, his Combat Power could not be considered top-tier, but in terms of speed, he could indeed be said to have few rivals.
"Buzz!" The Sixth Saint, Shadow Demon, blocked the path in front of the three figures.
The three people who had flown out from Wuxia City were precisely the three including Wuxia Immortal Venerable.
The three saw Shadow Demon and immediately recognized him. The faces of Elders Ming Hua and Yu Hui both changed slightly.
"Saint Shadow Demon, why have you blocked our path?" Elder Ming Hua asked in a deep voice.
"Heh heh..." The Sixth Saint, Shadow Demon, let out a sinister chuckle. His eyes swept over the peerlessly beautiful Wuxia Immortal Venerable, and he licked his lips.
"Elder Ming Hua, Elder Yu Hui, the two of you may leave, but this Wuxia Immortal Venerable must stay. She... is someone my Slaughter God Hall wants!" The Sixth Saint, Shadow Demon, said in an eerie voice.
"I don’t quite understand the meaning of these words of Saint Shadow Demon." Elder Ming Hua’s eyes narrowed. His Divine Thought spread out, probing the surroundings. He did not discover any trace of other Saints of the Slaughter God Hall, and his heart relaxed slightly.
During the time they came to Wuxia City, the Mystic Moon Trading House had also allocated a portion of its forces to monitor the lair of the Slaughter God Hall. If the Saints of the Slaughter God Hall made larger moves, the Mystic Moon Trading House would also immediately receive the news. Now that neither Elder Ming Hua nor Elder Yu Hui had received any information, it indicated that the Saints of the Slaughter God Hall should still be in their lair. At the very least, most of the Saints had not made any greater movements.
"Elder Ming Hua, let us not beat around the bush and waste time. This Wuxia Immortal Venerable is someone your Mystic Moon Trading House cannot protect. I advise you two not to overestimate yourselves, otherwise you will only embarrass yourselves." Saint Shadow Demon said, killing intent surging.
"Haha... I truly want to see just how capable you are, Saint Shadow Demon, to dare spout such big words." Elder Yu Hui laughed angrily.
A mere Saint Shadow Demon really did not count as much of a threat. Let alone that they had three Immortal Venerables; even if there were only one Immortal Venerable, they would not fear Saint Shadow Demon.
