A Journey Against the World
Chapter 52

Fhu embraced Gong Chen who was already unable to walk because he too forced himself against Yang Mo. So did Gumo Shan, he embraced Chu walking after Fhu from behind.

Gong Chen glanced around, "Where is Miss Shua? Did you guys see him?"

"Eitherway. Ever since we fought against the Elders of the Mo clan, he has been out of sight. Maybe he's gone?" reply Fhu.

Chu turned to look at those 2 companions, "Right as well. Maybe he's gone, what do you think Gumo is?" Chu turned again to look at Gumo Shan.

"Ehm .. I think he might still be here." Gumo Shan was not sure that Shua Xie had left without saying goodbye, especially Gumo Shan had seen Shua Xie fighting with the people of the Mo clan.

Gong Chen who knows best about Shua Xie among his 3 best friends, he knows Shua Xie is not the type of person who likes to leave his colleagues even though Shua Xie has a cold nature. As cold as Shua Xie looked, but in fact Shua Xie had a high sense of caring, like when he helped Xiao Mei help her family. That was what Gong Chen thought of Shua Xie.

"I think he's still in this area. We better find him first, if there is no we can go" said Gong Chen on 3 of his friends.

The four of them went looking for Shua Xie to every place in the Mo clan residence, but they did not find Shua Xie. After feeling that Shua Xie was no longer in the Mo clan residence, they finally decided to return to the Silver city. They believed that Shua Xie had already left this residence.

A week passed by the city of Kekai was shocked by the news of the destruction of the Mo clan that occurred a week ago. The Gold Lion alliance party who is obliged to protect the security of the city of Keki checks in place of the CTF. From their analysis all the people who were inside the Mo clan residence at the time the incident happened were not a single one of them survivors. The Gold Lion Alliance also asked eyewitnesses who said that the Mo clan's attacker was a masked girl with extremely powerful strength, and was also sadistic in killing.

A week some Cultivators who got a mission to solve the Mo clan's problems were also unable to find the masked girl that the eyewitness meant, especially after the incident the masked girl never again appeared. And also no eyewitnesses saw the face of the masked girl, making their investigation difficult.

The leader of Kekai city came to the Gold Lion alliance, not only them but the leader of the Tang clan and the Nara clan also came. The leaders will close down the incident that just happened a week ago because they feel this is a big threat to the city of Keki.

"How's it going from the Mo clan's incident, the alliance chief?" asked Rong Sui the city leader.

Lan Susu who was the head of the Gold Lion alliance, was a hundred years old and yet looked like she was in her 40s. Lan Susu had already led the Gold Lion alliance for a hundred years. And he was also famous as the 2nd strongest Cultivator after Yang Mo of the Mo clan in Kekai city.

"Investigators still have not found the whereabouts of the masked girl. It seemed that after destroying the Mo clan he immediately left the city of Kekai. We the Gold Lion alliance party have also been looking to the neighboring city and some villages not far from the city of Keki, but there is no news of the masked girl," Lan Susu replied.

"Actually we could have stopped this search considering the masked girl never showed up again. But still it would be a threat to Kekai city," muttered Rong Sui, then he sighed softly while massaging his forehead.

Tang Gou and Nara Rui looked at each other, they understood what the city leader meant. The city leader was only worried that the masked girl had appeared again and destroyed Kekai city considering how the power of the masked girl was strong enough to destroy the Mo clan within half a day.

They all fell silent for a moment thinking about the masked girl. They were pretty sure the masked girl had the power capable of destroying Kekai city. Destroying the Mo clan which was the strongest clan in the city of Kekai alone could he let alone the city of Keki? That's how they think they don't really know the real storyline, and who the girl they're telling.

"Could that masked girl be looking for something in the Mo clan?" nara Rui broke the silence.

They all turned to look at Nara Rui with a slightly awakened tone.

"It could be, but what? We all know the Mo clan doesn't have any secrets?"

"yes too. Is it possible that he is just bluffing us by destroying the Mo clan? There's probably something the masked girl wants from Keki city."

Rong Sui propped up her chin then thought for a moment, "I'm not sure of that. But what is he looking for?"

"Could it be Phoenix feathers?" sahut Lan Susu made them all surprised. Suddenly calling out the Phoenix feathers that had not entered their minds from earlier.

"Well, what was he looking for? We all know nothing about the Phoenix feathers never being scattered out of Kekai city. Then where does the masked girl know the secrets of Keki city?" rang Sui's reply.

"It's possible that he found out about the Phoenix feather and looked for it. Then he knew the existence of Phoenix feathers was in Kekai city, but before taking them he made a surprise first for us," Lan Susu replied as she looked to everyone.

"That could be true. Supposedly the one who wanted the Phoenix feather was only a Cultivator of the black stream. The masked girl must have been a messenger from the black stream. During this time the city of Kekai was often the arrival of black-flow Cultivators who wanted Phoenix feathers. I don't know where they found out about it." Lan Susu could only second-guess what she thought made sense. Because it could have been the masked girl was indeed a messenger of the black stream.

"If it is like that, it means that the security of Keki city is in the emergency security mode. In order to protect the fur of the ancestral Phoenix that made the city of Keki prosperous, we must not let it take the fur of the Phoenix," said Rong Sui firmly.

They all nodded in agreement to the statement that Rong Sui had made. For them the feather of the Phoenix was a sacred feather belonging to an ancestral bird that had once stopped in their city and helped their city prosper. Because before the city of Keki prospered, the city was once hit by a critical period of food and many disease outbreaks. Then came the beautiful bird that recognized itself as the majestic Phoenix bird. It was the birds that helped them overcome the critical times to become as prosperous as they are today.

Then there were 1 chosen person who was currently hundreds of years old named Feng Xian. He was the greatest alchemist master in the city of Kekai, and he was also the one who got a bit of great power from the Phoenix bird. All of the people of Kekai City respected Feng Xian so much because they felt that Feng Xian was a person who could communicate with the great Phoenix bird. However Feng Xian often denied that he could not communicate with the great Phoenix bird because it won in reality like that.

"Is the Great Phoenix feather still here?" nara Rui asked as she looked towards Lan Susu.

"Right, we need to give Master Feng Xian the fur of the Great Phoenix so that he can take care of it. Surely the masked girl already knew the Phoenix feathers were here, we just need to distract her," Lan Susu replied.

"I don't think it's a bad idea, let alone Feng Xian being a Cultivator and his strength isn't bad of ours. But was Feng Xian willing to keep the Phoenix feather? We've tried it before but he feels it's inappropriate to keep the Great Phoenix's fur." What Tang Gou said was indeed true, Feng Xian would not agree to keep the Great Phoenix feather because it felt inappropriate.

Rong Sui stood up from her chair, "No problem, let me address this matter to her. He will definitely understand, and also I will send some great Cultivators to guard his residence."

"All of us agree."

The four of them stood up to leave the room, but a young man dressed in all black went inside to shock them all.

Lan Susu approached the young man, "What's the Moroi? Why did you come in without knocking on the door? Did you know we're having an important meeting here?"

Moroi was the lead investigator that Lan Susu was assigned to solve the Mo clan's residential problem during this week. It was unexpected that he returned to the Gold Lion alliance, meaning that he brought important information.

Moroi immediately knelt down before all of them, "Sorry for my unwillingness to enter without knocking. But there's important information from the investigation team that I have to convey."

"Say what information?"

"It's about the stone inscription of the Mo clan that the investigation team found in the basement in the Mo clan residence," Moroi replied firmly.

"Then does the stone inscription have anything to do with the masked girl?"

Moroi paused for a moment unable to confirm whether the stone inscription had anything to do with the masked girl or not? But according to him the stone inscription had very important information, even the city leader should know about it.

"Maybe there is. But there is something more important than that, we found a sentence of command on the stone of the inscription," Moroi replied with a slight bow.

The four of them stared at each other in confusion at Moroi's words. Saying that the stone inscription was more important than the masked girl made them both confused as well as curious.

"What is the inscription stone sentence until you say more important than the masked girl?" ask Rong Sui.

Moroi paused for a moment then replied, "We investigated that the Mo clan wants to resurrect their ancestors at the expense of humans from the Sky clan. Then it ruled over the city of Keki and the Underworld. The might of the masked girl had something to do with the stone inscription. But we still don't know for sure why we should sacrifice the humans of the Sky clan."
