Devil Sovereign: Consort Can’t Escape - C154
The young man ran as fast as he could, all the way to the city gate. On the way, he met many people talking about the city gate, and most of them believed him. However, when they saw the city gate with their own eyes, they burst into tears.
Just one sentence was enough to make everyone in the inn shed tears of joy once again. They embraced each other. These few short days of suffering had finally passed.
Zhuo Guang immediately ordered: “Let’s pack up and leave the city immediately!” He didn’t want any unforeseen events to occur if he was too slow.
The same was true for big guys. They immediately packed their luggage and in just an incense’s time, they were all gathered together.
With the sound of a gong, the caravan finally set out. Not long after, everyone finally saw the city gate. The people inside rushed to escape out of the city, fearing that the gate would disappear again.
After this incident, this Mu Yuan Town would soon become a dead city.
“Benefactors!”
Mu Xiaolan heard the familiar voice behind him and turned around to see Jensen and Zhonglan pushing a cart. The old man and Ah Bao were on the cart with a bunch of children behind them. Li Xiaowu was one of them.
Feng Jiuyang, who had been standing right next to Mu Xiaoling, dismounted from his horse and walked over to check on Ah’Bao’s pulse. He said with a smile, “Ah’Bao has recovered quite well. I believe that he will be able to walk like a normal person in a few days.”
Ah’Bao gratefully nodded, “Thank you.”
Mu Xiaoling asked, “Where are you planning to go?”
Zhonglan laughed. “I don’t know. In short, let’s leave this place first.”
“This place isn’t too far away from the Yunlai City of Yan Country. If you have nowhere else to go, then you can go there.” Mu Xiaolan took out a Meng Family token and handed it to Zhonglan. “Take this to the Meng Family. They will take care of you.”
“Thank you.”
Mu Xiaoling shook her head as she watched the caravan beat the gong. She cupped her fist and said, “Let’s part ways here.”
“Please take care, benefactor.” Ah’Bao’s gaze was even more resolute than before. When he was successful, he would definitely look for his benefactor and repay this debt of gratitude.
The caravan left the city one by one until Mu Yuan Town was no longer in sight. Everyone stopped to rest for a while, but at this moment, everyone was filled with energy and urged Zhuo Guang to continue his journey.
Zhuo Guang originally wanted to set up camp for the big guys to rest tonight, but after hearing that, he laughed out loud, “Alright, let’s go.”
Thus, the group continued their journey until they found an inn in the next city before resting for the night. They continued on their journey the next morning.
After travelling with the caravan for two months, Mu Xiaoling and the other three finally arrived at the border of Ling Country. They were just short of reaching the city gate and could be considered as having entered Ling Country.
Zhuo Guang went to handle the formalities, and everyone rested in the tea house by the roadside.
Zhuo Guang was originally a citizen of Ling, and half of the people in the caravan were his servants. Some of them were also hired by their own country, so when they arrived here, they were all like kids that had just returned home, wanting to run around excitedly and sit in the tea house and chat with others.
Mu Xiaoling could feel that something was wrong because there were too many warriors here. Other than their caravan, the rest of the people who were staying here were all warriors and the city gate guards were also extremely tight. A long line was formed at the entrance and more than half of them were chased out of the city.
Feng Jiuyang naturally also noticed that something was wrong. He picked up his tea and took a sip, signaling everyone to be patient: “Let’s wait and see.”
Mu Xiaoling lowered her head and closed her eyes as she circulated the [Skydark Mantra]. She released her Spiritual Sense and immediately, some sounds were transmitted into her ears.
“You still can’t enter the city today?”
“That’s right. This secret realm is about to open, but it was monopolized by those few great families in Ling Country. How could it be our turn?”
“This is outrageous. This mystic realm’s natural sky nourishment belongs to everyone. Why should they monopolize it?”
“So what if you don’t like it, who dares to fight? Didn’t you see that the big guy couldn’t even get through the city gate? I heard that when a martial artist enters the city, they must have the tokens of those big families.”
“Which families are they?”
“Isn’t it just the three great families, Zhong Family, Qiong Family and Qing Family?”
Mu Xiaoling opened her eyes and glanced at Feng Jiuyang, Tang Ling, and Qi Tai. She whispered, “Because the secret realm is about to open up, the three great families of Ling State are afraid that others will get a share of the spoils. Therefore, the tokens of the three great families are required for a martial artist to enter the city.
Feng Jiuyang was silent. In fact, he wasn’t really interested in this secret realm. In comparison, he was more interested in Mu Xiaoling, so it didn’t matter to him whether he entered the city or not.
When Tang Ling heard this, she became anxious, “Then what should we do!?”
Qi Tai comforted her, “Ling’er, if it doesn’t work, then we won’t go.”
“How can that be? We had to suffer so much to get here.”
“Be patient.” Mu Xiaoling used the cover under the table to take out a small porcelain bottle from his spatial ring. He opened it and took out four small pills, one for each pill. “This pill can temporarily cover up the true essence and spirit roots within our bodies. As long as we don’t use true essence, we won’t be discovered.”
Feng Jiuyang was surprised as he didn’t expect Mu Xiaoling to have this kind of elixir. He didn’t know what else was going on.
Tang Ling, on the other hand, was overjoyed. She immediately took two pills and stuffed one into her own mouth while the other into Qi Tai’s.
Mu Xiaoling saw Feng Jiuyang eating and then he also ate one. At this time, Zhuo Guang also came back.
Zhuo Guang’s face was ugly. He walked to the side of the tea house and said guiltily: “I just communicated with the leader of the guards that only ordinary people are allowed to go. Other than martial arts cultivators from Ling Country, no one else is allowed to pass.”
However, most of them were Fighter 1-2 fighters. Although they had heard about the news about the new secret realm, they still knew about their own affairs. Naturally, they did not want to join in on the fun and did not want to take the money to leave.
Zhuo Guang did not agree to this at the beginning, after all, if the henchmen left to protect the caravan, the Dining Hall would not be able to catch up with the three great families, but their influence was not small either, so the leader agreed to send a small team of soldiers to protect them all the way to the capital.
Zhuo Guang looked apologetically at Mu Xiaoling and the other three. They were the ones who felt the most sorry.
However, Mu Xiaoling didn’t really care. “It’s alright. Can Boss Zhuo leave us four tokens to enter the city?”
Zhuo Guang immediately took out the plate and handed it to them, “My apologies, I was in the wrong for what happened today. If you have any matters to attend to later, you can come to Taihe City to look for me.”
“Thank you very much.” The four of them did not move as they watched the caravan enter the city.
