Chapter 84: Chapter 73: A Slightly Strange World_3

Yet for some reason, Qi Yuan felt a hint of distortion.

He didn’t dwell on it, but instead headed straight to the restaurant, ordered a meal and changed his clothes.

Qi Yuan exited the restaurant.

"Ah, I’m still too soft-hearted. Although I’m old enough, I still paid for my meal, I can’t face the shame of dining and dashing."

"The food here is not good. I wonder how Jin Li’s cooking is."

"I wonder how Jin Li’s crispy sweet duck tastes. It must be delicious."

"Oh, it’s been a long time since I’ve sent her a message, she wouldn’t think I’m not coming, would she?"

"I need to quickly ask for the location of Qiyue in the Yue Emperor Dynasty."

"Oh no, if I meet her and we develop feelings for each other while chatting, what should I do?"

Qi Yuan knew, two people who get along well after chatting for a long time online, if they meet in person and neither is particularly unattractive or has glaring flaws, they are likely to be drawn to each other.

"I haven’t even seen her yet, what am I thinking!"

Qi Yuan left the restaurant and headed to a shop called Kunwu News.

This was a shop he had learned about while dining in the restaurant, having asked one of the waiters.

The shop traded in information and had a considerable influence in Kunwu City.

"We have an honored guest, please come in."

As Qi Yuan was standing in front of the Kunwu News shop, a pleasant voice came out.

From within the shop, a tall woman with a veil covering her face emerged, her countenance obscured.

Qi Yuan noticed that she was a royal level warrior.

Moreover, when she saw his mask, her body reacted somewhat, but quickly returned to normal, she hid it very well.

Qi Yuan said, "I’d like to buy a map of the nearby area."

Upon hearing these words, the veiled woman opened her red lips slightly, saying "Please wait, esteemed guest".

She then returned into the shop and opened a drawer, unfolding a map in front of Qi Yuan.

"Is our esteemed guest satisfied?" said the veiled woman softly.

Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback. Who conducts business like this?

In this martial world, martial artists are well-known to have photographic memory.

When a map is spread out, a warrior only needs to glance at it and all its value is lost.

However, he did look, a questioning look in his eyes: "Are you sure this map includes all the kingdoms around the ancient Qichun tree?"

"Yes." The veiled woman nodded affirmatively.

"Why isn’t there the Moon Emperor Dynasty or Qiyue Town?"

Upon hearing this, the veiled woman hesitated: "I’ve never heard of the Moon Emperor Dynasty, nor of Qiyue Town."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was somewhat dazed.

Could this person be lying to him?

Or is Jin Li deceiving him?

Or did he remember it wrong?

"However, I’ve heard of the Moon Clan, I don’t know if this could be who you’re searching for."

"Moon Clan?" Qi Yuan muttered to himself.

There’s a great difference between the Moon Clan and the Moon Emperor Dynasty.

Even if the Moon Clan were to establish a nation, it would be the Moon Emperor Dynasty.

"The Moon Clan has twelve lakes, January Lake, February Lake, March Lake...Each lake is home to a branch of the Moon Clan members.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Qiyue Town you mentioned?"

"Where is it?" Qi Yuan immediately asked.

If one coincidence could be disregarded, two consecutive coincidences signify something.

The veiled woman paused before she spoke.

Qi Yuan said, "Please, feel free to say."

Seeing this, the veiled woman said, "The Moon Clan is unwilling to comply with the Hundred Cities Decree, and is currently at war with the Hundred Cities. Going there now would be dangerous and risk involving the innocent.

The Hundred Cities Decree is also known as the Filial Piety Decree.

The Hundred Cities demand that the Moon Clan also follow the Filial Piety Decree, anyone who disobeys this rule, will be executed!"

"Where is it?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Here." The veiled woman marked the location of the Moon Clan on the map, "July Lake is here, just a few miles from the main trunk of the ancient Qichun tree."

"Thank you for the information." Qi Yuan sincerely thanked her. "I don’t have enough money with me. I see that you are a royal level warrior, so I will offer this Cultivation Technique to you. If you practice this technique, you may have a chance to break through to the Supremacy Realm."

Speaking, Qi Yuan casually took out a piece of paper from the shop and began to write fluently. A couple of breaths later, a Cultivation Technique appeared on the paper.

This Cultivation Technique was an ordinary one from the memories of a divine realm warrior.

It happened to be suitable for the veiled woman in front of him.

Moreover, this veiled woman had shown kindness to him first, and he was merely returning the favor.

The veiled woman received the Cultivation Technique and took a good look at it: "This is...!"

She looked thrilled.

The grade of this Cultivation Technique is extremely high, and it’s also very suitable for her. If she practices it, it won’t take long for her to become a Supreme Emperor.

She wanted to express her thanks but found that the mysterious man had already disappeared.

"Senior?" She wanted to say something but couldn’t bring herself to.

About a dozen breaths later, an old woman with a wrinkled face emerged from the shop.

The old woman hobbled along, showing her age: "Little Lian, did you manage to find out anything about that man just now?"

The veiled woman’s eyebrows furrowed: "His strength, at least, is that of a Supreme Emperor, or even..."

"Divine Realm?" The old woman frowned.

"If it’s the Divine Realm, he might have come out of the Forbidden Zone." The veiled woman was very excited.

"Or he could be bait laid by the Hundred Cities Alliance." The old woman said.

The veiled woman looked a bit disappointed when she heard this: "We haven’t had contact with the great ones of the Forbidden Zone for nearly a thousand years.

The influence of the Black-Robed Guards is growing larger.

Can we really win?"

"Tomorrow our aim to continue existing is to exterminate the Black-Robed Guards and return a bright world to the people!

Little Lian, do not worry. The Black-Robed Guards’ actions defy the Heavenly Dao, they will surely be punished by heaven!" There was a ruthless look in the old woman’s eyes.

Her son, her daughter, her husband, all died at the hands of the Black-Robed Guards.

She was sworn enemies with the Black-Robed Guards.

"Yes." Hearing her words, the veiled woman nodded silently.

"Little Lian, close up the shop, we must visit the Moon Clan." The old woman seemed to have made a decision.

"Okay."

"Through the conflict between the Hundred Cities Alliance and the Moon Clan, we can see if this faceless man is one of the Greats from the Forbidden Zone, or bait cast by the Black-Robed Guards." The old woman said in a deep voice.

...

The moon climbed up to the treetops.

The lake glittered, Jin Li sat on a blue stone by the lake.

She looked up expectantly from time to time, then showed a hint of disappointment, and then hopeful again.

From not too far away, Aunt Qin watched Jin Li’s behavior, she sighed faintly, expressing some unknown regret.

And then a voice rang out in Aunt Qin’s ear, "Old Lady Qin, long time no see."

Upon hearing the ethereal and pleasant voice, Aunt Qin stiffened.

"Is that you? High Priest!"
