Chapter 463: Setting Off Again

~8 min read 1,527 words

"Ah, banquets and such are truly annoying!" As soon as she returned to the inn, Aiweier threw herself directly onto the bed.

"It really is exhausting!" Chen Jing also looked completely burnt out.

Watching the two of them, Su Wanyue couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, even she, who often represented the Su Family at various banquets, felt a wave of fatigue from this one.

The people at the banquet were filled with heavy probing and calculation in their words and behavior; one would fall into a trap if not careful. Although such traps might not pose much of a threat to Lingyun and his group, feeling disgusted was certain.

"Almost every war of succession contains countless conspiracies and bloody slaughters. For the sake of that position, it is common to see brothers and relatives turn against each other," Lingyun said, leaning back in a chair with a relaxed expression. "But this matter has nothing to do with us anymore. We clearly stated our stance at the banquet that we will not join this struggle. I have already inquired about the teleportation route; let's leave tomorrow!"

"Leaving tomorrow?" Aiweier looked at Lingyun with surprise.

"That's right, we leave tomorrow!" Lingyun nodded.

"But I saw that the First Prince is clearly very interested in us and the non-existent power behind us. Given his personality, I'm afraid he won't let go easily!" Chen Jing said, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"If he properly fights for his throne, naturally nothing will happen. But if this guy tries to set his sights on us, I don't mind letting his imperial dream become a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water!" Lingyun said, squinting his eyes with a calm expression.

"Cough, cough, Lingyun, is it necessary to say such things in such a terrifying tone?" Chen Jing shuddered unnaturally. Although Lingyun's tone was very calm when he spoke just now, Chen Jing still sensed that deep malice.

Su Wanyue and the other also looked at Lingyun helplessly, clearly unaccustomed to the tone Lingyun had just used.

"Alright, let's not talk about these frustrating things for now. Lingyun, what arrangements do you have for the upcoming journey?" Su Wanyue asked.

"I went to the Mage Guild before. Among the teleportation destinations from the Teleportation Array in the Norton Imperial City, the four cities closest to the Morning Light Forest are these. And among these four locations, Yaoxing City in the Haoxing Empire is our next destination. There is also a Teleportation Array in Yaoxing City, which can provide help for our next teleportation." Lingyun spread out a map and pointed to a location on it.

"Yaoxing City? This place is still quite a long distance from the Morning Light Forest!" Aiweier looked at the map and said. "By comparison, Xingyue City is closer, and it also has a Teleportation Array there!"

"I naturally know this, but the Teleportation Array in Yaoxing City can teleport directly to the Emerald City, while the other three cities do not have this destination!" Lingyun said.

"The neutral city, Emerald City?" Aiweier's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Emerald City is a famous neutral city on the Continent; in this city, you can see almost all the races on the Continent. Although Emerald City is named after emeralds, it does not produce them. The original name of Emerald City was Green City, because most of the city was covered in green. Later, people from the Lingyun Mercenary Group thought this name didn't sound good, so they changed it to Emerald City.

Although the residents of Emerald City are of many races, no one dares to cause trouble there. The most important reason for this is that Emerald City is backed by the Morning Light Forest, and it is said to have a significant relationship with the Elf Race. There were once people who didn't fear death who caused trouble in Emerald City, but the result was that they were thoroughly suppressed. Other forces are wary of the strength of the Elf Race and the methods rumored to have been left behind in Emerald City by the Lingyun Mercenary Group, so they dare not harbor any crooked thoughts toward Emerald City.

"If Yaoxing City really has a Teleportation Array to Emerald City, then it is indeed our best choice!" Aiweier said, looking at the map.

"Then let's set our next target as Yaoxing City!" Lingyun said.

"Okay!"

Early the next morning, Lingyun and his group arrived at the Mage Guild.

On this Continent, almost ninety percent of the Teleportation Arrays are in the hands of the Mage Guild, which is also the Mage Guild's main source of funding. Just by this one item of income, the massive Mage Guild makes a fortune.

"Is this place the Mage Guild? It really looks quite luxurious!" Aiweier looked at the magnificent Mage Guild and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Well, with the money earned from the Teleportation Arrays, it's not very difficult to decorate the Mage Guild like this!" Lingyun said indifferently.

"Where are you going?" In front of a large table, a Magician lying on the table squinted at Lingyun and the others, then lay back down on the table and said listlessly.

"Yaoxing City!" Lingyun said.

"Yaoxing City, huh? One thousand gold coins per person!" The Magician glanced at the price list on the wall and said slowly.

"One thousand gold coins?" A flash of surprise appeared in Aiweier's eyes. Although it was a long-distance teleportation, this price was too high!

"That's the price, take it or leave it!" The Magician rolled his eyes.

Lingyun didn't say anything, just tossed a small bag onto the table, then took Chen Jing and the others and left, stepping onto the Teleportation Array.

A silver light shone from the Array, enveloping the four of them. After the light disappeared, the four had vanished from the spot.

After Lingyun and the others left, the lazy Magician climbed up from the table and took out a Communication Crystal from his bosom.

"Your Highness, those people have left. Their target is Yaoxing City!"

However, the Magician did not see that a wisp of silver light was slowly dissipating on the money bag.

"Left?" In a Palace, Moke held a Communication Crystal in his hand, his expression uncertain.

"Yaoxing City, Yaoxing City, what are they going to Yaoxing City for?" Moke tapped his fingers on the table, seemingly thinking about something. "Hmm, I remember, that guy Didier seems to be in Yaoxing City right now. Let him go and see what the purpose of those people is!"

"Your Highness, those people are very dangerous. I don't want Your Highness to get involved with them!" A middle-aged man behind Moke said with a worried expression.

"Dangerous? What danger?" Moke asked.

"As far as I know, at least four Sanctuary Powerhouses have been severely injured because they received a mental shock. At least until their damaged Mental Power recovers, it is impossible for their strength to improve, and there is even a possibility of regression!" the middle-aged man said.

"What do these people have to do with them?" Moke's expression also became serious.

"As far as I know, they all did the same thing, which was trying to use their own Mental Power to probe those people!" the middle-aged man said.

"Just a probe and it turned out like this? The people behind them are really unscrupulous!" Moke said.

"It is precisely because they are so unscrupulous that I do not suggest Your Highness get involved with those people," the middle-aged man said. "First, their behavior has already provoked quite a few forces. Second, I am not sure if the other party will suddenly take action against you on a whim."

"Kanske, go and quietly leak the whereabouts of these four people to those Sanctuary families. Remember, do not expose your own identity!" Moke suddenly said.

"Your Highness, this is..."

"Think about it, will those families who suffered losses at their hands let it go? For the sake of their so-called family honor, they will definitely take action against those people, right? When those people can no longer hold on, I will then make a high-profile move to protect them. Do you think they will submit to me?" A flash of certainty flashed in Moke's eyes.

"But Your Highness, this is too risky. If they find out that it was you who did it in the dark, they might turn around and deal with you!" the middle-aged man said with a worried face.

"Then I will join forces with others and take them out all at once! They are just a few juniors out for experience. Compared to a future Emperor of the Norton Empire, they are nothing more than dispensable people to a big family!" Moke said confidently.

Seeing Moke's confident look, the middle-aged man opened his mouth, finally sighed, and left. He knew that with Moke's personality, once a decision was made, it would never be changed. All he could do was minimize the risk of this matter.

"It seems that this time, some rather important hidden pawns will have to be sacrificed!"
