Jin Yao saw the scene of Jin Fei’s death, and the rage in his eyes burned even fiercer, as if it might accidentally set the entire Jin Family ablaze.
"Who is that woman?"
"Her na is Dugu Qianye, and she’s soone who just ca from the lower realms. She’s said to be a Level 8 Alchemist," Jin Peng said. Because of the matter with Jin Caimi, he’d investigated Dugu Qianye today.
"Where is she now?"
"The Huo Family."
"The Huo Family? How did she get involved with them?" Jin Yao asked. He hadn’t expected her to make connections with their sworn enemy as soon as she arrived in the Spirit Void Continent.
"Here’s what happened..." Jin Peng recounted the story of Dugu Qianye arriving on the Spirit Void Continent, accidentally saving Huo Yi by killing Jin Caimi, and also how the plan they hatched to trap Huo Yutian in Hantan backfired because she rescued him.
"I did not expect that she not only killed Caimi but also Fei. If it weren’t for you, ancestor, having reached the Divine King realm, the truth behind Fei’s death may never have been uncovered," Jin Peng said before adding another phrase in anguish.
He never imagined that his grandson would die so miserably, having been castrated and then burned to ashes by a fire!
"Follow to the Huo Family; even if we have to annihilate them today, I want that woman torn to pieces!" Jin Yao declared.
"Yes."
The Jin Family mbers received their orders and were about to head for the Huo Family when a guard rushed in frantically.
"Reporting to the family, the woman you told us to monitor has left Chichi overnight."
"Which way did she go?" Jin Peng asked.
"Northeast."
"Chase!"
At this mont, Dugu Qianye was already several tens of thousands of kiloters southwest of Chichi. Sitting on the back of Qingluan, Dugu Qianye looked at Hao Pengyou, who was drowsy and asked, "Why did you agree to travel in the middle of the night?"
Not long after Huo Yi and Huo Wu had left, Hao Pengyou arrived. Without saying anything, he just told her to follow him. Seeing his serious expression, Dugu Qianye didn’t ask any questions and just left. But not far from the Huo Family, they felt soone tracking them, so they pretended to leave in the northeast direction to shake them off. After losing the tail, they circled around and flew toward Fenghuang City in the southeast direction. The Jin Family mbers chasing them in the northeast direction would only get further and further away.
Because there was no direct Transmission Array between Fenghuang City and Chichi, they decided to have Qingluan lead the way. While previously Hao Pengyou’s expression had been solemn, once they left Chichi, he started to get drowsy again.
Hearing Dugu Qianye’s question, Hao Pengyou struggled to open his eyes and said, "Tonight, the Jin Family’s old ancestor erged from seclusion; he must have been promoted to Divine Emperor. The Jin Family has a secret technique; as long as the Life Token is intact, they can see what happened before Jin Fei was killed. Knowing it was you who killed Jin Fei, if we didn’t run, you would now be running straight to Endless Hell."
"How did you know that the Jin Family’s old ancestor ca out of seclusion?" Dugu Qianye asked. If it was truly just the old ancestor of the Jin Family, relying on her and various Beasts, plus Ice Heart and Phoenix Golden Fla, even if she couldn’t achieve a complete victory, she could still escape unhard! Yet thinking of Hao Pengyou coming to take her away in the middle of the night, she still felt sowhat moved.
"Mmm-hmm, that’s the secret of my senior brother, I can’t tell, I can’t tell," Hao Pengyou mumbled and then fell asleep on the back of Qingluan.
"Er—" Dugu Qianye looked at the now sleeping Hao Pengyou and could not help but smile bitterly. Could he possibly sleep any more soundly?!
And to show no caution in front of her, was he that confident in her?
Dugu Qianye gazed at the moon for a while, then closed her eyes to check the Sound Attack that was unlocked from the Fuxiqin. She planned to buy a guqin at Qian Pavilion when she arrived in Fenghuang City.
After flying for several days, Qingluan brought Dugu Qianye and Hao Pengyou to Fenghuang City, the largest city in the dense forest.
"Master, we’ve arrived," Qingluan said to Dugu Qianye.
Dugu Qianye opened his eyes and saw that Hao Pengyou was still sleeping. Truly, nothing’s more important than a good sleep!
Feeling Dugu Qianye’s gaze, Hao Pengyou slowly woke up.
"Eh? We’ve arrived? How did it happen so fast?" Hao Pengyou got down from Qingluan, hands on his hips, and looked at the imposing walls of Fenghuang City, "It’s been a long ti since I’ve been here, I wonder if there have been any changes!"
Dugu Qianye ca to stand beside Hao Pengyou and asked, "Have you been here before?"
"Yeah! My master once sent to guard Fenghuang City. I stayed for two months before heading off to Chichi," Hao Pengyou said.
"Why?"
"Because the Spiritual Master Association here was too busy, I didn’t even have ti to sleep. Now that I think about it, my decision back then was so wise!" Hao Pengyou said proudly.
Sweat...
Dugu Qianye and Qingluan, now in human form, wore faces full of black lines. Without paying any more attention to the man lost in his own admiration, they entered the city.
Fenghuang City was nad after the phoenix because its shape resembled that of a spreading phoenix’s wings.
Since Hao Pengyou had stayed here before, he knew where Qian Pavilion was. After a half-hour ride on a beast-drawn carriage, they arrived at a hotel near Qian Pavilion.
"Look, this is the best hotel around here. I just happen to have two cards that can open two top-tier luxury suites," Hao Pengyou said, taking out two crystal cards and flashing them in front of Dugu Qianye.
"You need a card to stay at a hotel?" Dugu Qianye asked.
"Ordinary places, of course, don’t require one, but if you want a nice room, you need a crystal card. Many powers operate this way. I have a lot of them, I’ll give you so later," Hao Pengyou said.
The attendants in the lobby smiled and approached despite the two guests wearing simple clothes.
"Are the two of you staying with us?"
"Hmm," Hao Pengyou handed over the cards to the attendant and said, "Two Class A suites, please."
Upon seeing the crystal cards in Hao Pengyou’s hand, the attendant took them respectfully and said, "Certainly, two Class A suites."
Hearing the attendant’s call, another attendant ca out quickly to process their check-in swiftly and then led them to the top-floor suites.
"Our Tengge Hotel is the tallest in the entire Fenghuang City. From up here, you can see the entire panorama of Fenghuang City," the attendant said while walking, telling both Dugu Qianye and Hao Pengyou, "Also, our location is right in the center of the city, so it’s convenient to go anywhere."
Dugu Qianye observed the decor here, which was elegant and unlike ordinary hotels; it was more like a sophisticated leisure facility.
"Here we are, these are your rooms," the attendant said upon reaching the top floor. Then he took out two red invitation letters with gold embossing and two pieces of paper.
"These are the auction dates for Qian Pavilion over the next month and the items to be auctioned. Qian Pavilion is hosting a big auction event soon, and if you’re interested, you might want to attend," he explained.
"Alright. Thank you!" Dugu Qianye took them and expressed her thanks.
"You’re welco. I wish you a pleasant stay," the attendant bowed and left.
