3328 Returning to the City Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze rose to their feet and bowed solemnly to him. “Please take care.” “Grandfather, I will return to see you,” Hao’er said, imitating their respectful bow. “Very good,” Pill King nodded, smiling and gently patting his shoulder. “Good boy, remember to listen to your parents and cultivate diligently.” “Don’t worry, Grandfather, Hao’er will be obedient,” he promised with a serious face. Pill King saw them off. “In my old age, I can’t bear partings, so I won’t send you out. Go on your own!” “Master, please take care,” Feng Jiu said before departing with Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Hao’er. They quickly packed their belongings in their cave-dwelling and set off with the whole party to the meadow. Xuanyuan Mo Ze formed a seal with both hands, and a vortex appeared in the void. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮 “Let’s go!” He signalled the others to enter first. Leng Hua and Leng Shuang went in first, followed by Gray Wolf and Shadow One. Feng Jiu, holding Hao’er, and Xuanyuan Mo Ze jumped into the vortex. As the light flashed, the vortex disappeared, taking them with it, vanishing from Pill King Valley… At dusk, a carriage pulled by a couple of Violet Gold Spirit Deer sped through the mountain roads. The speed was so fast that it seemed to be flying, yet the Violet Gold Spirit Deer stayed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Leng Hua and Leng Shuang were driving the carriage while Gray Wolf and Shadow One followed secretly. Cultivators moved out of the way as they passed, not daring to block their path. A group of mercenaries were travelling when they spotted the Violet Gold Spirit Deer pulling a carriage. Some of them stared wide-eyed, while others gasped. The leader of the group quickly recovered, and barked orders for everyone to move out of the way. As the Spirit Deer carriage passed by, one of the mercenaries asked as they watched it drift away. “Captain, were those two beasts Violet Gold Spirit Deer? Did I see things? Were they really Violet Gold Spirit Deer?” “Violet Gold Spirit Deer? Who could be inside such a carriage?” “Whoever is inside that carriage must be of high status since Violet Gold Spirit Deer are extremely rare.” As the mercenary group members spoke, they turned to their captain in unison. “Captain, do you know who’s inside?” The mercenary captain pondered, “I’ve heard that two Venerables of the Blue Star Immortal Sect acknowledged a Master by the name of Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu. At that time, they presented a pair of Violet Gold Spirit Deer to their Master.” The captain’s brows furrowed as he spoke. “However, five years have passed with no word on the whereabouts of Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu. I can’t believe she just showed up like that. Who else could it have been if not her?” “They seem to be heading toward Cardinal Point City. There is a chance that it is indeed Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu. There are rumours that all sects have been gathering Strong Exponents in preparation to challenge the Skylink Monarch. Perhaps she’s heard the news and is returning.” “You don’t know the whole story.” The captain shook his head. “Because she had offended the Sky Emperor, Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu went into hiding. Even after five years, she is no match for him at her skill level. If it’s her, she’ll be walking straight into her death.”
