Chapter 512: Chapter 503: Don’t Trick Me

"What? A special investigation?"

Mo Wangchen’s face went pale, and his heart jumped into his throat.

Hadn’t he passed through the Illusion Gate successfully?

And he hadn’t done anything suspicious, so why the interrogation?

Faced with the approaching might of the cultivators from Wind Thunder Valley, Gu Tianqi dared not make any superfluous moves.

"Which power or family are you from, and what is your name?"

The middle-aged man approached, giving Gu Tianqi a thorough look from top to bottom as he inquired.

"My name is Gu Tianqi. I come from the Lower Realm and am not affiliated with any side. Is there a problem?" Gu Tianqi frowned, feeling somewhat nervous since not far away sat two Emperor Realm Great Powers. If they really started probing and found something amiss, that would be troubling.

However, after thinking it over, sharing his name didn’t seem to pose any issue.

"From the Lower Realm?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man squinted his eyes, "How long have you been in Heavenly Gang?"

"Is this a date? Why ask so many detailed questions? Didn’t I pass through the Illusion Gate without any incident?"

Gu Tianqi’s discontent showed on his face as he continued, "What’s so great about the Sacred Land? On what grounds do you stop us and interrogate us so thoroughly? Don’t people have a right to their privacy?"

"That’s right, why stop us? I’m in a hurry to return to my family. Now look, so much time has been wasted here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than many others who also intended to use the Teleportation Array finally couldn’t hold back, starting to complain.

"This young man is actually quite shrewd, knowing how to stir up the collective outrage."

In the crowd, Mo Wangchen secretly gave a thumbs up. Although Gu Tianqi was a Cultivation maniac, it had to be said that sometimes he was quite canny.

Despite Wind Thunder Valley being a Sacred Land, if they really incurred the wrath of the masses, they would probably have a hard time.

After all, there are many cultivators who use this Teleportation Array daily, not to mention some of them are powerful figures from various places. Even dealing with Loose Cultivators could be a headache for them.

In this world, although strength is revered, typically, Loose Cultivators are not something that any power wishes to provoke.

Because these individuals have no fixed abode. If they decided to do something just to spite you, you would have no way of finding them. Even if you expended a considerable amount of manpower and resources in search, and if you failed to find them, wouldn’t that be an even greater loss of face?

Now, with a single sentence from Gu Tianqi inciting public anger, some people finally couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up to speak.

"If he’s passed through the Illusion Gate, there shouldn’t be any problems. Let him go."

Faced with the indignant crowd, finally, one of the two Emperor Realm Great Powers seated not far away, slowly opened his eyes and spoke indifferently.

"Elder, this..."

The middle-aged man frowned. The sneaky demeanor of Gu Tianqi had indeed raised suspicions.

"Don’t worry, I personally created this gate. If he indeed killed the two Elders of Feng Yiming, he would not have been able to pass through it normally."

The Emperor Realm Elder spoke, then glanced at everyone present, "My fellow cultivators, Wind Thunder Valley has suffered the loss of Elders. It was out of necessity that we set up the Illusion Gate; we hope you can understand."

While speaking, the pressure of an Emperor Realm Great Power suddenly enveloped the scene, causing many to turn pale.

However, this oppressive force lasted merely an instant; it was merely the Elder using it as a means to deter the crowd.

Everyone fell silent, no longer speaking up. After all, no one wanted to become the sacrificial lamb. Going against a Sacred Land would not lead to anything pleasant.

Wind Thunder Valley did not continue to harass him, allowing Gu Tianqi to leave.

He then stepped onto the altar, took out a Spirit Stone, and suddenly stood there, stunned.

"What are you doing? If you’re going to leave, then leave quickly, don’t waste the time of the people behind you."

The middle-aged man from Wind Thunder Valley frowned, showing some irritation on his face.

"So, uh... like I said, I’ve just arrived at Heavenly Gang... this Teleportation Array... how does it work again?"

As these words were spoken, everyone present was speechless, and Mo Wangchen was also surprised, having previously inquired clearly about how to activate the Teleportation Array while at the Mu Family.

Gu Tianqi was there at the time, and it was assumed he was listening intently, but who would have thought that he hadn’t taken in a word?

The middle-aged man from Wind Thunder Valley had a look of complete befuddlement; how could this greenhorn act so confidently refusing to let himself be searched just moments ago, and now be facing a problem?

He didn’t even know the most basic method of activating the Teleportation Array.

"Where are you going?" Having no other choice, the middle-aged man steeled himself, ascended the altar, and wished to quickly send Gu Tianqi on his way to avoid further obstruction.

"Immortal Sect of Inquiry," Gu Tianqi scratched his head and said so.

"Give me the Spirit Stones," said the middle-aged man with a slightly cold tone, very unceremoniously.

"How many?"

Gu Tianqi was puzzled, looking completely clueless.

"Depending on the distance, the farther the teleportation, the more Spirit Stones are consumed. To go to the Immortal Sect of Inquiry, to the city closest to its Mountain Gate, you need ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

"What? Ten thousand?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianqi was immediately unhappy, "You better not be cheating me!"

"Are you leaving or not?"

The middle-aged man clenched his teeth, clearly on the verge of losing his temper.

"Ten thousand it is then. If you really want to cheat me, I’ll just accept it; who told you to be a Sacred Land."

With a sigh, Gu Tianqi’s face showed a hint of resignation as he obediently took out ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Mo Wangchen had given him a full hundred thousand before, so ten thousand wasn’t too much; he just didn’t want to be taken advantage of.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone present, the altar was activated, and Gu Tianqi’s body turned into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.

Watching him depart safely, Mo Wangchen turned and left without further delay.

He didn’t want to clash directly with Wind Thunder Valley; that would be too foolish. After all, the opposing side was a Sacred Land, not to mention an Immortal Realm Great Power overseeing it, the arrival of just a few Quasi-Emperor Realm figures would be more than enough trouble for him.

He had not left, still staying within this Silver City, finding a teahouse to sit down. In any place, teahouses and taverns were often sources of many pieces of information.

But after sitting for half a day, Mo Wangchen realized that the people here were all discussing matters which were neither big nor small, none of them of any value to him.

"Right, the Ancient Immortal Domain..."

Mo Wangchen slapped his forehead, almost forgetting that there was such a place as the Ancient Immortal Domain.

The people who gathered there were from all over the Northern Immortal Domain; if there were any explosive news, it would certainly be first spread from within Ancient Immortal City.

Thereafter, he left the teahouse and rented a room in a tavern.

Mo Wangchen sat alone in the room, running the Immortal Communication Technique, and soon he entered the Ancient Immortal Domain.

"The two Elders were killed, and the Divine Son also had his Divine Thought slashed within this Ancient Immortal Domain; Wind Thunder Valley has truly lost face, if they don’t do something soon, they’ll probably become the laughingstock of other Sacred Lands."

As soon as he entered Ancient Immortal City, Mo Wangchen heard many discussing this affair.
