"You dead bird!" Xuan Meimei gritted her teeth with hatred, wanting to catch the Ice and Fire Phoenix which was very clever and swiftly dodged away.
"Meimei, enough. Why are you bothering Little Red and Blue for no reason?" Yuan Bupo felt a headache coming on, he nodded apologetically towards Yun Sheng and then took Xuan Meimei aside to tend to her wounds.
Seeing the "evil" woman walk away, the Ice and Fire Phoenix shamelessly landed on Yun Sheng’s shoulder again.
The group of people quickly left Emperor’s Hong City.
In a dark corner above the gates of Emperor’s Hong City, Madam Bi watched dozens of Chongming Birds leave, her eyes filled with venomous hatred, like a poisonous snake.
She sinisterly said: "Don’t think that just because you’ve killed my son, this will be the end. I don’t believe you will have the lives to reach Xianju Country."
Behind Madam Bi, an attendant who looked like a Summoner whispered: "Madam, everything has been done as you instructed, the news has been sent to Tangyuan Country. I believe the Second Prince must have received the news by now."
Yun Sheng and the others rode Chongming Birds heading west.
Xianju is a place apart from the world, and Yun Sheng was visiting such a remote part of the continent for the first time. According to Yuan Bupo, to reach Xianju, one must first pass through Tangyuan Country.
"Yuan Bupo, how much do you know about the Mages of Tangyuan?" Yun Sheng, being a Mage, had heard that Tangyuan had the largest number of Mages on the continent, even the headquarters of the Magic Temple was located there.
If time allowed, Yun Sheng planned to stopover in Tangyuan after passing through or visit the Magic Temple to meet Xia Wenxu after finding the Life Water, since she was not clear about the true use of the Life Water.
"I don’t know much, it’s all what my father has told me. Inside Tangyuan Country, there are indeed many Mages, and many are very powerful. There are also quite a few influential Mage families, we must be cautious and careful not to offend them. On this trip to Xianju, we must be cautious as we must pass through Tangyuan, during which we must mark each Chongming Bird with the emblem of Dihong City," Yuan Bupo explained somewhat sheepishly when asked by Yun Sheng.
The rule in Dihong City is that one may not leave the city before reaching adulthood, so Yuan Bupo didn’t have many chances to go outside.
Most major cities in Tangyuan Country implement a no-fly zone, any foreign flying beast wishing to pass through must carry a specific marker.
Dihong City has a close relationship with Tangyuan Country, so citizens of Dihong City who pass through Tangyuan always mark their flying magical beasts with a special magical marker.
"What happens if we don’t mark it with that kind of magical marker?" Yun Sheng was hearing about such a prohibition for the first time.
During her time in Great Zhou and Hou Qin, she had never heard of such specific rules. Check latest chapters at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
"The consequences would be severe, any Mage from Tangyuan would have the right to directly attack any marked flying magical beast, and the gains from the kill would belong to the Mage," Yuan Bupo explained, giving an example.
According to Yuan Wuqu, a foreign Martial Artist who knew about Tangyuan’s rule still stubbornly passed through the airspace of Tang cities.
"Guess what happened. That Martial Artist with the strength of a Martial Arts Sect was instantaneously hit by several hundred spells, and finally he and his magical beast fell from the sky. His family, to this date, has not found even their bones," Yuan Bupo, who usually fears neither heaven nor earth, showed a bit of trepidation.
The number of Mages in Tangyuan Country far exceeds the Martial Artists of Great Zhou and Hou Qin. Moreover, Mages excel in ranged attacks and could attack from any corner, being hit by spells from several hundred Mages is a process that can only be described as brutal.
"Whoa, we really need to be careful then. Without delay, let’s all draw the markers on our mounts first, to avoid becoming targets for someone else’s magic," Yun Sheng urged, feeling her scalp tingle.
Their small group comprised of just dozens of people, if subject to a mass attack, would truly be obliterated.
Yuan Bupo smiled and ordered the accompanying people to begin drawing the Magic Array.
Yun Sheng asked a few more questions, and Yuan Bupo patiently told him everything he knew about Tang Yuan in detail.
Although Yuan Bupo does not have much experience leaving the city, he has read extensively from a young age and understands music theory well. Yun Sheng took the opportunity to inquire about the tricks of Emperor’s Song, and he answered each one.
The two of them seemed to get along quite well.
Hearing the occasional laughter not far away, and seeing the faint blush on Yuan Bupo’s face, Xuan Meimei, on the other hand, couldn’t get a word in.
Brother Bu Po had never talked to her . Why did he treat Yun Sheng differently, caring and asking warmly all the way? Even a blind man could see his favor towards Yun Sheng.
Xuan Meimei walked aside with hatred, thinking of ways to make things difficult for Yun Sheng.
But with Yuan Bupo there, she simply had no opportunity to take action.
After a while, the road Magic Array was completely drawn, and everyone set off again, planning to cross through Tang Yuan and then head to Xianju.
In the capital of Tang Yuan, an urgent secret letter was delivered to Second Prince Li Shao.
"Xuan Wuji is dead? Truly an incompetent waste," Li Shao exclaimed in surprise as he opened the letter.
The letter was written by Madam Bi, who explained the failed scheme and the killing of Xuan Wuji in detail.
This time, Li Shao thought he had prepared impeccably, but who would have known that the plan would utterly fail in the end.
After all was said, it could only be said that Xuan Wuji was too useless.
Although Li Shao is the Second Prince of Tang Yuan, he has been intelligent since childhood, even known for his cleverness among the Wuji Five Treasures. He is skilled in strategies and profoundly scheming.
It was said to be a cooperation with Xuan Wuji, but in reality, Li Shao was secretly manipulating him.
He thought Xuan Wuji, as the Young City Lord of Emperor Hong City, should at least have some strategies, but it turned out he was utterly useless.
Not only did the plot against Yun Residence fail, but Tian Quezi and Yun Bahe’s competition also flopped, and the Prince of Hou Qin also cut off cooperation with him. This dealt a heavy blow to Li Shao, who originally planned to take advantage of the situation to invade Great Zhou.
He feels that everything has been especially unsmooth lately.
Starting from the Purple Gold Mine, Li Shao always thought his plans were flawless and no one could disrupt them. Yet, lately, several incidents were inexplicably spoiled, and the whereabouts of the batch of Purple Gold Ore remains unknown, causing Li Shao to suffer multiple losses.
The same happened with the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid.
And the biggest cause of failure in this incident was a female physician named Yun Sheng.
Da Zhou Yunsheng, this person must be eliminated!
