Chapter 810: The Murder of A Woman

“Little friend Mo Wen, do you think you will be able to meet Ling’er? If she wants my life, take my head to her. I just hope that she does not harm Xiaoman.”

When Yun Deguang had left the Phoenix Tail Village all those years ago, he had remembered his route. He thought that if he memorized the way he could once again return to the Phoenix Tail Village and find Feng Ling’er. Now, however, he finally understood that, from the moment he left the Phoenix Tail Village, it was a farewell forever. After that, no matter how he searched, he could not return to that place again. He had traveled to the southwest of the country more than thirty times in his life; every time he had returned disappointed.

“Senior Yun, Feng Ling’er does not necessarily want to kill you. Right now, I am afraid that something else is afoot. That Purplish Blue Flower of yours is a mature Purplish Blue Flower. It is most likely a few centuries old. If she wanted to use the Purplish Blue Flower’s poison to kill you, you would probably already be dead.”

Mo Wen shook his head. The Purplish Blue Flower had been in the Yun clan for so many years, and nothing had happened to Yun Deguang. Instead, he had only been poisoned recently. This was clearly unusual. Back then, when Feng Ling’er gave the Purplish Blue Flower to Yun Deguang, she must have sealed the Purplish Blue Flower’s poison. The seal had only disappeared recently.

“She doesn’t want me dead? Does she not hate me?” Yun Deguang’s figure began to tremble. Tears flowed from his eyes.

“Senior Yun, the reason I came was to inform you of Xiaoman’s whereabouts, but now is not the time to rescue her,” Mo Wen said.

“It’s not the right time? When will it be? If we delay for too long, then Xiaoman...” Yun Deguang immediately became anxious. Now that he knew that Yun Xiaoman had ended up in the hands of the Sorcerer Clan, it was as though he was sitting on a bed of needles; he could not wait to immediately fly to Phoenix Tail Village to Feng Ling’er’s side. He, the ungrateful grandfather, was the one at fault. How could he let his granddaughter suffer the consequences?

“Don’t worry. Right now, Xiaoman is very safe. She is participating in the Sorcerer Clan’s Selection of the Moon Maidens. It is not necessarily a bad thing.”

Since Mo Qingtian had said that Yun Xiaoman’s current safety was not an issue, Mo Wen had believed him. He explained matters regarding the Moon Maidens Selection to Senior Yun. However, he only mentioned the good parts and left out as much of the bad elements of the selection as he could. He wanted to convince Senior Yun that Yun Xiaoman was currently in no danger.

“I already have a plan in mind to rescue Xiaoman. Senior Yun, please don’t be anxious. This matter is not trivial and cannot be rushed. Oh, and don’t try to find the Phoenix Tail Village on your own. It is impossible for you to do so.”

The Phoenix Tail Village was in the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension. Even Mo Wen could not enter it without help, let alone Yun Deguang.

“Little friend Mo Wen, I know that you are a powerful person and that you can certainly find the Phoenix Tail Village. I shamelessly ask for one thing. When you go to the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension, can you take me along? I have not been there for fifty years.”

A hint of sorrow flashed in Yun Deguang’s eyes. How many times had he dreamed of returning to that place? How long had he spent dreaming of the beautiful Feng Ling’er? It was as though everything was still by his side. However, such a long time had passed. Time had taken away too many things. Maybe only memories were eternal.

“Let me consider it for a while. When the time comes, we will see. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave.”

Mo Wen was going to be entering the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension with the Huatian Palace delegates. He did not know if he would be able to take Yun Deguang along. He could only say when the time came.

A look of disappointment flashed in Yun Deguang’s eyes. However, Mo Wen had not rejected him outright. That meant that there was still hope. He knew that people like Mo Wen did not like mundane dealings. Hence, he did not ask Mo Wen to stay, and instead stood up to see him off.

Just as they reached the door, a silhouette suddenly swung it furiously. A person came in, nearly hitting Mo Wen. It was a beautiful young woman. She appeared to be in her thirties and there was something different about her temperament.

“Lixian, how can you be so impolite?” Yun Deguang frowned. He was receiving a guest in his study, and an important guest like Mo Wen at that. His own daughter-in-law had instead come barging in just like that.

“Father, forgive me. Just now Aunty Wang said that Xiaoman’s whereabouts have been found. Is it true?” The beautiful young woman’s expression was pale. The corner of her eyes had fine wrinkles and she seemed very frail. She was none other than Yun Xiaoman’s mother, Yu Lixian. In the days following Xiaoman’s disappearance, she had almost been driven mad. Xiaoman was her only daughter.

As she was talking, the young woman’s gaze was fixed on Mo Wen. She clearly saw Mo Wen as a life-saver. She was so emotional that she nearly grabbed hold of Mo Wen’s hand.

“Lixian, little friend Mo Wen has told me everything about this matter. I will tell you in detail later.” Yun Deguang sighed gently. Although he had heard of Xiaoman’s whereabouts, he was not optimistic.

Mo Wen nodded his head slightly at Yu Lixian, then he walked out of the study. Yu Lixian reached out her hand and wanted to grab Mo Wen. She wanted to say more, but she retracted her hand after receiving a glare from Yun Deguang.

After leaving the Yun clan mansion, Mo Wen discovered that he did not have anything to do for a while except to wait for next month’s Martial Arts Circle Convention. This matter was handled by Wang Yinru, so he did not need to do anything. However, with the Dafang Sect’s current ability, it would be hard for them to participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention. They would be no match for the mysterious ancient martial arts factions that Mo Qingtian mentioned, let alone most of the ancient martial art practitioner sects that they knew of.

Originally, Mo Wen had wanted to gather some ancient martial art practitioners with good cultivation from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. But after all, the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was just a small Inner world, and there were limits to its ability. It was far from being comparable to other large Inner worlds. Also, most of the strong practitioners in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had portfolios in the Huatian Palace and were on record. These people could not participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention.

Instead, people like Tan Qiyue who belonged to no sect and had lived in seclusion for centuries, in addition to having long broken off ties with the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension’s sects, could claim to be a main space ancient martial art practitioner. The Huatian Palace would not be able to find evidence against him, and the Dafang Sect could easily sneak him in.

Tan Qiyue was a Martial Arts Grandmaster Second Realm absolute strong practitioner. Even the current Mo Wen would not necessarily be able to defeat him. Originally, calling him to join a main space Martial Arts Circle Convention was somewhat overkill, but after hearing Mo Qingtian’s words, Mo Wen already felt as though even if he summoned Tan Qiyue, they would not necessarily have the confidence of a sure win.

Mo Wen wrote a letter and sent it to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, asking Tan Qiyue to personally handle the matter. The Ming Palace was a faction that accommodated a wide range of people. Although there weren’t many outstanding strong practitioners in the Ming Palace, some ancient martial art practitioners with exceptional cultivation could have slipped past the Huatian Palace. The number of people would most likely be sufficient. After all, the entire Green Ancient Mystery Dimension was controlled by Mo Wen. This was an advantage that other sects did not have.

It was the calm before the storm. The Martial Arts Circle Convention drew closer, and the entire Hua Xia martial art circle became livelier. The conflicts between ancient martial art practitioners skyrocketed more than ten times compared to normal. Also, crime in various parts of the country suddenly increased dramatically. Many crimes went unsolved and the authorities could not track the perpetrators at all.

In a small residential area in the capital, a small clinic had opened a few days ago. Although the clinic was not very big, it was fully equipped.

Mo Wen sat on a rocking chair in the clinic, casually sipping hot tea. Right now, it was the twelfth lunar month of a cold winter. Outside, a cold wind blew. Pedestrians wore thick cotton coats and walked on the streets while their bodies shivered. The New Year was about to arrive. Although the weather was cold, it was very lovely outside.

This clinic had been opened by Mo Wen. This was his fourth day here. For normal people, opening a clinic might have been a hassle. It required a medical license as well as various business permits. Even if they fulfilled all the conditions, completing all the procedures and paperwork would most likely take a month. But for Mo Wen, it was very easy.

However, in the last four days, Mo Wen had not received any patients. Maybe a newly opened clinic had an aura of unfamiliarity about it. People did not trust things that they were unfamiliar with. Many patients, even if they had to travel further, would not come to his clinic.

However, it was of no consequence. Mo Wen’s goal was not to treat illnesses.

On the surface, it seemed as though he was sitting in his chair drinking tea, but his consciousness had already drifted off. Flashbacks of his experiences treating illnesses and concocting pills flashed through his mind. He took them all in and digested them bit by bit.

Ji Wuya’s inheritance was too vast. Mo Wen could not possibly absorb all of it in a short amount of time. During this time, while cultivating, he also absorbed Ji Wuya’s inheritance and at the same time made preparations for the Martial Arts Circle Convention.

This clinic was just a temporary corner for him to stay in.

Just as Mo Wen closed his eyes and meditated, a loud noise suddenly came from outside. A few police vehicles and an ambulance passed by his clinic, whistling all the way into the residential area.

“Three incidents have occurred within four days. Could it be that the current day and age is not peaceful?”

Mo Wen slowly opened his eyes. His clinic was located at the entrance of the periphery of the residential area, so everyone who entered the residential area would pass by his clinic. In the four days he had been here, three people had died in this residential area, and all of them had been unnatural deaths.

Mo Wen’s soul and will shifted slightly, instantly traveling more than a kilometer. The scene of the location of the incident in the residential area appeared clearly in his mind. Below a residential building, a large group of people had gathered. Most of them were residents from nearby and the police had just arrived. A few people wearing white coats carried a stretcher and walked out from the building.

A white cloth covered the person on the stretcher, but Mo Wen’s deified soul directly penetrated it. He was surprised to see that there was a female corpse inside. She was naked and her body was covered in wounds. She had obviously been the victim of violence. The corpse was shriveled and her skin was pale. All the blood in her body had been sucked dry.

“Another person has died in the residential area. What is going on here?”

“This world is getting more and more chaotic. Which family is the maiden from this time? It’s been five days since the first murder. Why haven’t the police solved the case? The last few murders have all happened in the residential area. It must have been the work of the same person.”

“It’s just been confirmed that the deceased is the maiden daugher of the Yang family. I know this girl. Ever since she was young, she was smart and cute. When she grew up, she was even more so. In school, she was an honor student. Her academic results were always at the top of her class. She had only started at Hua Xia University the year before last. Who knew that she would end up like this? Who would do this to such a nice girl?”

“The d*mned murderer is practically inhumane.”

“They really are. This maiden had also died even more miserably than the previous two victimes. I live right opposite her house. I’ve seen it before. She did not even look human.”

Mo Wen slowly opened his eyes. A cold look flashed there. “Vampire!”
