Chapter 586: A Serious Incident
Chu Fengyun’s gaze subtly locked on Ling Chuxi. ‘It was her?’ After Chu Fengyun confirmed that Ling Chuxi had been promoted to the realm of True Essence, his heart sank.
“Brother Chu, this is Nan Xia Country’s Ling Chuxi. She is the successor chosen by Brother Mo. She only just passed our test, and was coincidentally promoted to the realm of True Essence. It is truly something worth celebrating.” Lin Cangbo and the others were clearly a lot more formal with Chu Fengyun around.
“No wonder there was so much excitement around here, it turns out that Miss Ling was promoted to the realm of True Essence! Congratulations, Brother Mo, and also congratulations to Miss Ling. To be promoted to the realm of True Essence at such a young age... we old fellows are all ashamed that we are not like you!” Chu Fengyun laughed loudly.
Chu Fengyun was smiling on the outside, but he was inwardly burning with rage and loathing. It was her who had been promoted to the realm of True Essence! If he had known earlier that she would improve so quickly, he would not have let Ren Youran deal with this matter. If he had personally taken action, even if she could not be solicited to enter Wu Feng Hall, he would have just killed her on the spot.
Getting rid of her when she was at the realm of True Essence would not be so easy, but his plan this time was comprehensive. He would get rid of Mo Kongyuan and her, exterminating both troublesome people permanently.
“I have already instructed people to prepare a banquet. Initially, it was to welcome all of you, but now we can also celebrate Miss Ling’s breakthrough. You all won’t disdain me for being petty right? Hahahaha.” Chu Fengyuan smiled boldly as he spoke.
“That couldn’t be better. It would also help me save on wine money.” Lin Cangbo and the rest obviously did not want to have too much interaction with Chu Fengyun, however, they had to be polite to him.
At that moment, a figure came rushing through the door, speedily approaching their group.
A few hidden sentries immediately appeared, rushing forward to stop the person.
“Stop!” Chu Fengyun barked sharply. The sentries paused and then retreated.
“Great Worshipper, a large number of monster beasts were noticed at Purple Mound Mountain. Two villages were invaded by monster beasts and none of the citizens survived.” The person who came was covered in sweat as he knelt before the Great Worshipper, speaking with grief.
“What?!” Before Chu Fengyun could say anything, Lin Cangbo, Xie Wuji, and Mister Cao exclaimed in union.
Purple Mound Mountain was located by the boundaries of the Silver Ancient Mountain Range. It was right by the borders of Ding Lin Country, Dong Xing Country, and Shang Yuan Country. A large number of monster beasts appearing there meant that they could invade all three countries at any time, so naturally Xie Wuji and Mister Cao had panicked.
Seems that the situation was even more severe than they thought. They had originally thought that there were only minor changes at Little Silver Ancient Mountain, but she never thought that monster beasts had already invaded the borders!
Ling Chuxi frowned slightly. Although these monster beasts did not appear by the borders of Nan Xia Country, going south along the path from Purple Mound Mountain would lead to the mines of the Shi Qu Town’s Ling family, which were the main financial lifeline of the Ling family. Though that road was challenging and difficult for ordinary people, it was not very difficult for monster beasts.
Ling Chuxi had seen how strong that Shocking Thunder Beast was, and knew that with the cultivation the Ling family had at the moment, they were not a match for these monster beasts. She was quite worried.
“This matter cannot be delayed. Let us go and take a look immediately!” Mister Cao said anxiously, all thoughts about wine and celebrating forgotten.
“Prepare the carriage,” Chu Fengyun instructed.
“What carriage do you need to prepare? We will go there directly,” Xie Wuji said in annoyance.
“Brother Xie, don’t be too anxious. I don’t know how urgent the situation is, and it would not delay matters,” Chu Fengyun said smoothly.
