Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Hanging by a Thread (2)_1

"May I help you with something?" asked the butler of the Spiritual Master Association, looking at the three individuals. Such powerful figures, they dared not offend.

"We need to use the Transmission Array," Dugu Qianye said.

"To where?"

"To the largest city nearby."

"Very well, please follow me," said the butler, turning to walk towards a courtyard on the side.

The courtyard was large, with a Transmission Array drawn in the center. After Dugu Qianye and the others stepped onto it, the butler activated the array, and soon the three vanished.

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Divine Temple in Songgu City, a group of people with bruised noses and swollen faces knelt on the ground, their white clothing marked with footprints. Seated on the throne above them was a person with a cold and dreary gaze.

"You useless things, aside from playing with women, what else can you do! To think you would even dare to lay a hand on my Divine Temple’s people, those few must be quite bold," the Divine Temple Master said.

"Hall Master, they also said if you wish to live, you’d better tuck your tail and behave. Otherwise, with your status, you aren’t even fit to carry their shoes! They also said you are but a small shrimp in the sea, only fit to be eaten! When the time comes, you’ll be chopped up without even knowing it!" Song Guzi said. Of course, some of this was his own embellishment!

"Bang!" The Hall Master crushed the cup in his hand, exclaiming, "How dare they speak of me like that! Seeking death! Where are they now?"

"Hall Master, those following them have returned and reported that they left using a Transmission Array," Song Guzi replied.

"Hmph, thinking they can escape consequences just like that? Someone, get ready, report this matter. Say someone has challenged the dignity of my Divine Temple, insulted our Divine Master. Order all the Temple’s forces to hunt them down!"

"Yes, Hall Master!" Song Guzi answered.

Looking at the kneeling crowd below, the Hall Master said, "Get lost and train properly! So many of you couldn’t even hold down three people, you’ve all brought shame to the Divine Temple!"

The Transmission Array under the care of the Spiritual Master Association in Huoyan City came to life once more. The custodian, seeing the light on the stone wall indicating Songgu City, initially thought to go and check but then paused. What sort of person could come from such a small place.

Suddenly, three figures materialized on the array, two men appearing relatively unscathed, but the woman looked somewhat pale. After stepping out of the array, her complexion began to return to normal.

Dugu Qianye emerged, the dizzying sensation gradually subsiding, and then the three left the Spiritual Master Association. The caretakers of the array hadn’t recovered from their shock, murmuring, "Celestial beings..."

Seeing Dugu Qianye’s condition, they initially planned to directly head to Wulai City but instead went to a hotel for a rest. While lying on the bed, she thought that she must create her own Transmission Array in the future, then fell into a fitful sleep.

Early the next morning, the three made their way to the Spiritual Master Association. Dugu Qianye found that the Association had not taken them to the same location as the day before, it was Hao Pengyou.

"In such a large city, with so many people coming and going, if the entry and exit were through a single Transmission Array, collisions and congestion could occur. That could lead to a collapse of space, which would create trouble. It’s better to have separate arrays for coming and going," he explained.

Dugu Qianye understood; she realized she couldn’t just study the construction of Transmission Arrays—there was much more to learn.

Thinking they were early and could leave quickly, they only discovered upon arrival that many were already lined up ahead of them.

"I didn’t expect so many people!" Dugu Qianye exclaimed, "I didn’t expect to run into the people from the Divine Temple as soon as we got here. What do you think, if we push you out as the Saint Heir of the Divine Temple, would they recognize you?"

Zi Xiao played with the hair in front of Dugu Qianye’s chest, thought about it, and said, "I guess they might. But at most, I’d just be someone to run errands."

"If Qie Yue and the others were here, we could have them run errands and, by the way, gather some information. It’s a shame he and Hei Zi are being held back by the Great Elder as apprentices."

"You’re still with the Divine Temple?" Hao Pengyou turned and asked.

"He used to be the Saint Heir of the Divine Temple in the Xuanyue Continent," Dugu Qianye said. "But he set up his own Secret Pavilion, specifically to oppose the Divine Temple!"

"Pfft!" Hao Pengyou burst into laughter, "I wouldn’t have guessed, you can really play the undercover game."

Zi Xiao glanced at Hao Pengyou but didn’t say anything.

"But seriously, you could go back into the Divine Temple and play the undercover role again!" Hao Pengyou said.

Soon it was their turn. They registered for Wulai City, paid the fee, and the three of them stepped onto the Transmission Array. As the Transmission Array activated, a group of people walked in from outside. The person in the middle glanced at those on the Array, froze on the spot, rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, there was no one on the Transmission Array.

"My eyes must be playing tricks on me, definitely!"

"What’s wrong?" someone beside him asked.

"I thought I saw the little prince," the man said. "Maybe it’s just my eyes playing tricks on me."

Wulai City is considered a large city on the East Continent, located toward the east side near the center, and is a central city for travellers from north to south, so it is very prosperous.

Upon arrival, Dugu Qianye and her companions sought out the largest hotel to stay in. Hao Pengyou went to check in and took out several cards, which made the corner of Dugu Qianye’s eye twitch.

Is he a professional card swiper or what?

Just after they finished checking in, they saw people in the hotel rushing out. Hao Pengyou asked a hotel attendant, "What are they doing?"

"They’re going to watch the drama in front of the Feng Family’s place!" the attendant said. "Two months ago, the Feng Family captured a few people from the lower realms, claiming they wiped out their branch family’s enemies. A month ago, they started to hang one person at the back door every day for public whipping with a barbed whip dipped in salt water for an hour and then tied them back up, administering low-grade elixirs to keep them from dying. Alas, when I went to watch at the beginning, each of them looked so vibrant, but after a month, well, I reckon a couple of them won’t last another two days... it’s tragic!"

Before the attendant could finish speaking, Dugu Qianye had already run out, not knowing where the Feng Family’s back door was, but by following the crowd, she quickly found it.

There were many people watching at the Feng Family’s back door, packed tightly both inside and out, with people inside constantly pointing and commenting on the situation.

"Whack, whack, whack!" As she approached, Dugu Qianye heard the sound of the whip lashing from inside.

After fighting her way through the crowd, Dugu Qianye saw Mo Lian, bloodied and mutilated from the beatings. Mo Lian’s head was hanging down, her hair, unwashed for a long time, was clotted with dried blood and dirt, and her body was covered in new and old lash wounds. In the garment stained red with blood, Dugu Qianye recognized the dress she had bought for her back in Pu City.

"You wretched woman, scream, scream out in pain, say you’re a wretch, you all are wretches, and I’ll spare you today!" the person whipping jeered as they fiercely swung the whip.
