Chapter 491: Which of the Six Lords Are You?
With the Wind Holy Sword in hand, Lingyun's figure transformed into a gust of wind, flying swiftly toward the outside of the Morning Light Forest.
If one wants to go to Yueguang Zhi Cheng, passing through the Emerald City is the best choice. As for why the Meiling Tribe did not establish a branch in the Emerald City, Lingyun himself had some understanding.
As the most famous neutral city on the Continent, the Emerald City is home to countless powerhouses. If members of the Meiling Tribe appeared here in large numbers, it would be inevitable that they would reveal their tracks. Although a millennium has passed since the Millennium Holy War, the brutality of the Demon Race is still remembered by many races. If their identities were discovered here, it would be almost impossible for them to escape the Emerald City as a group. By comparison, Yueguang Zhi Cheng is much safer.
However, the Meiling Tribe could not abandon such an important city as the Emerald City. Thus, they established a small headquarters in Yueguang Zhi Cheng, and usually sent personnel to enter and exit the Emerald City via a Teleportation Array, which could be considered leveraging the convenience of the Emerald City to develop themselves.
"Yueguang Zhi Cheng!" Lingyun threw the teleportation fee onto the table and said to a staff member.
"Very well, please wait a moment." The person nodded, then activated the Teleportation Array to Yueguang Zhi Cheng for Lingyun.
Yueguang Zhi Cheng, Teleportation Array.
A burst of silver light shot into the sky, and Lingyun's figure appeared within the Teleportation Array.
Just as Lingyun walked out of the Mage Guild, a man suddenly came before him and bowed to him: "May I ask if you are Mr. Lingyun?"
"You know me?" Lingyun's gaze swept over the man.
The man nodded to Lingyun: "The Young Master left me a portrait of you, saying that you would arrive in Yueguang Zhi Cheng these few days, and told me to wait for you here."
"Hm? I see."
Lingyun's thoughts turned, and he already knew this was Xuanying's doing; after all, Xuanying was the only one who addressed Lingyun this way now. Moreover, the emblem on the man's chest was very similar to the Token Xuanying had given him before, only the patterns on the Token were more intricate and luxurious.
"Please, sir!" The man made a gesture of invitation toward Lingyun.
Lingyun nodded, then under the man's guidance, boarded a carriage and drove away.
"Hey, the one that person just boarded was the carriage of the Spirit Pavilion, right?" Outside the Mage Guild, a man nudged the person beside him.
"That's right, the one he boarded was indeed the Spirit Pavilion's carriage," an expressionless man replied.
"To think that the person who could make the Second Steward of the Spirit Pavilion wait here for several days is actually a young man who looks much younger than us; we really are getting old!" the man sighed with emotion.
"Do not go around sighing casually here. That person's strength is unfathomable; even if all of us were tied together, we might not be a match for one of his hands!"
"Hey hey, Cold Face, that's not an exaggeration, is it?" the man asked with a strange, incredulous cry.
"I am not joking with you," the expressionless man replied. "Our mission is not yet complete, let's go!"
"Clatter, clatter, clatter," the carriage stopped in front of a tall building.
Just as Lingyun stepped off the carriage, Xuanying walked up to meet him.
"Sir, you have finally arrived."
"How is the situation in your tribe?" After walking into the hall of the Spirit Pavilion with Xuanying, Lingyun asked.
"The situation in the tribe has not changed, it is just that the Crystal you gifted the other day has shrunk by more than half," Xuanying said.
"More than half?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow. "You should have a Teleportation Array here; let us go directly to your tribe's territory via the Teleportation Array."
Although most of the Teleportation Arrays on the Continent are controlled by the Mage Guild, the vast majority of major powers possess their own Teleportation Arrays, though these arrays are only for the use of their own factions.
"Does sir not need to rest for a while?"
Xuanying knew that Lingyun had just come out of the Mage Guild, and continuously using Teleportation Arrays is a very energy-consuming task—unless, of course, one is a Space Mage.
"It is just a Space Array, it is nothing. Besides, the sooner your tribe's matters are resolved, the better," Lingyun waved his hand.
"What about the two girls by your side, sir?" Xuanying noticed that Chen Jing and the other were not by Lingyun's side and asked casually.
"I know your tribe does not allow others to enter at will, so I left them in the Elf Royal City," Lingyun said.
"Left them in the Elf Royal City?"
Xuanying almost bit his own tongue. Is the Elf Royal City that easy to enter? It seems that for the past few hundred years, no one has been able to enter the Elf Royal City. Entering the Elf Royal City is difficult enough, let alone staying there; that is practically a joke. However, there was no hint of joking in Lingyun's tone. Could it be that the two of them really stayed in the Elf Royal City?
Thoughts swirled in his mind, but Xuanying did not say anything more, simply leading Lingyun quickly into a secluded room.
The room was lit by several candles, appearing somewhat dim. In the center of the room sat a table, and sitting behind the table was a withered old man. In front of the old man sat a translucent Crystal Ball, with countless points of light flying and spinning within it.
Although the old man looked withered, Lingyun felt an extremely profound aura from him. Being able to give him this feeling meant this person was at least a Heavenly Domain expert. The most bizarre thing was that you could see the old man when you looked, but if you used Mental Power to sense him, you would find only a Crystal Ball in front of the table, with no old man there at all.
The old man's focus seemed entirely on the Crystal Ball, and he did not notice the arrival of Lingyun and Xuanying.
"Eh, Third Elder, why are you here today?" Xuanying could not help but let out a soft exclamation upon seeing the withered old man.
"So it is you, little Xuanying," the Third Elder looked up at Xuanying. "How do you have time to come to this old man's place today?"
"Mr. Lingyun has arrived, and I would like to ask you to help me open the Teleportation Array to our tribe," Xuanying said to the elder with a respectful expression.
"Oh?" The elder nodded, then shifted his gaze to Lingyun.
When the elder saw Lingyun's face clearly, his expression changed drastically, and his body began to tremble.
"Third Elder, what is wrong?" Xuanying noticed the elder's abnormality and asked.
"I am Xuan Mo, the current Third Elder of the Meiling Tribe. May I ask which of the six lords you are?" Xuan Mo asked, his voice trembling slightly.
"The six lords?" A trace of shock appeared on Xuanying's face. The six lords in Xuan Mo's words were the ones who once led the entire Meiling Tribe out of a crisis of destruction, but that was a millennium ago. Why would the Third Elder suddenly ask Lingyun this?
Lingyun waved his hand: "The old gentleman has likely mistaken me for someone else. I am not one of the six people you speak of, though I do have some connection to them."
"Yes, it has been a millennium; it must be that I, this old man, have mistaken you for someone else," Xuan Mo sighed and said.
The elder sighed, waved his hand, and the room suddenly brightened as a Teleportation Array appeared within it.
Lingyun and Xuanying stepped onto the array, and after a flash of silver light, the two disappeared from the spot.
Just after Lingyun and the other left, Xuan Mo suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a joyful light: "That person just now, the sword behind his back, it seems..."
"It is correct, it is correct, I cannot be mistaken; that sword is the Wind Holy Sword. Could it be that this person is a descendant of the Sword Saint Qingxuan?" The elder suddenly burst into loud laughter. "That is it, he must be a descendant of the Sword Saint. As a descendant of the Sword Saint, he must know how to restrain Demon Qi. This time, our tribe is saved!"
