Chaos Systems
Chapters. 120 - The Taoist Nation

After a few hours they continued riding horses and finally reached the Desert. They found a rock cliff that had a large cave underneath. That's why after two hours they continued riding his horse, Zhao Bingyan allowed his troops to rest in the cave.

"We'll move in the afternoon. You all rest for a while while you're still here." Zhao Bingyan said to the entire Palace army and some other Sect disciples.

Mu Chen Xiao who was inside the cave, was so attentive to the rock wall that it seemed to form an image that it was not yet known what it meant. There are several symbols and writings formed on the stone wall.

”Is this an ancient Chinese script? I learned a little bit about ancient literature in college. Hm, um,... What are they writing here?” mu Chen Xiao muttered in notice.

Because at that time the situation in the cave was quite dark, he also let out a fire that emerged from his palm and this spell was a basic spell that he could already do when he was eight years old.

The inscription tells of an event that had happened two hundred years ago when the four Xingyue Kings were still alive. They told about their cruelty and that is why some people hid in caves to avoid such atrocities.

"This is a Taoist writing two hundred years ago!" Mu Chen Xiao muttered with a surprised expression after he noticed the form of the writing.

Before the Yong Fei state was formed, there was a nation called the Taoyi nation. They were a group of people who ruled the Gobi desert for hundreds of years before finally, a fourth king of Xingyue named Yang Yixuan came and ruled over their entire territory.

Yang Yixuan killed the entire Taoyi nation then, some of those survivors were hiding in this place. At first the Taoyi wanted to ask for help from other countries but, they also fared the same as them.

”It turns out that until now their grudges still remain. If the first Xingyue king was Mu Quan Shi, the second King was Mo Qin Yao and the fourth was Yang Yixuan. Then, who becomes the third king?” inner Mu Chen Xiao thought about it.

When he was focusing on the stone wall, someone from behind suddenly patted him on the shoulder and made Mu Chen Xiao immediately turn to look at the person.

"What is Xiao'er doing here? Aren't you sleeping?" Zhao Bingyan asked which made Mu Chen Xiao pause for a moment.

"No. Due to the training conducted by Teacher Hao, I am more used to not sleeping in a day or three." Mu Chen Xiao replied.

"Then, what is Xiao'er doing now?"

"Actually, there was a piece of writing that made me curious. This is the writing used by the Taoists two hundred years ago." Mu Chen Xiao replied while showing the writing to Zhao Bingyan.

Zhao Bingyan who felt interested in it, immediately approached and noticed the wall. There is a sign with a symbol that is written repeatedly. It could be said that this was indeed the writing used by the Taoyis two hundred years ago when they fought against Yang Yixuan.

"Did Xiao'er understand what this writing is about?" Asked Zhao Bingyan who seemed to not understand the writing.

Mu Chen Xiao slightly laughed mockingly when he heard Zhao Bingyan ask him about it. I think he can be smarter than me.

"I've actually learned a little bit." Mu Chen Xiao replied with a mocking smile. "... The Taoyi people had a deep grudge against the fourth king of Xingyue even until their bodies were destroyed. The Taoyi people had many Cultivators at different levels but, they were all destroyed since the arrival of Yang Yixuan. Then, they swore to destroy the entire descendant of king Xingyue and his troops."

"Ehh, that,... I don't know. I just read it a little bit and the rest I don't know what it means." Mu Chen Xiao replied awkwardly after he could not answer her.

"You're good enough also Mu Chen Xiao. It is rare for someone to be able to learn the language of Taoiyi that easily." Said Shang Ren who had suddenly appeared next to him.

"The great teacher Shang Ren? Why are you here too?" Mu Chen Xiao asked after he was surprised to see Shang Ren's whereabouts to his right.

"I'll help you read this whole book." Shang Ren said as he watched the writing. "... The Taoyi people made this writing not to frighten the descendants of the king of Xingyue two hundred years ago. However, this writing was made in honor of the Cultivator of the desert country who had to die to protect them. And Youdu's spider from Luoyang city is the embodiment of the Taoyi nation's grudge."

”Youdu spider? It felt like I was reminded of someone.” Inner Mu Chen Xiao who instantly remembered Lian Luo who had stabbed him with poison from the spider.

"I heard that Yang Yixuan has different abilities from the other three kings. Even though he was fourth, that person was able to switch dimensions in an instant and could even move thousands of people at once. That was the reason why there were some people who were able to use teleportation spells however, they could not move thousands of people like Yang Yixuan." It was clearly Zhao Bingyan who remembered the state of the Taoyis when someone had told her everything.

"If he was the fourth Xingyue king then, who would be in third?" Mu Chen Xiao asked who broke the silence between the three.

Zhao Bingyan and Shang Ren fell silent for a while before finally, Zhao Bingyan replied, "He was successfully killed. However, the body was not found by them."

As several people were silent in their respective places, the sound of leg stomps that did not come from the troops and other Sect disciples slowly sounded. Although his voice sounded very slow, Zhao Bingyan was able to tell that there was a stranger watching them.

As soon as he heard the voice, Zhao Bingyan directly threw a small fireball that pointed at the person. And how shocked that person was when he saw the magic Zhao Bingyan did towards him so that it made him look panicked and immediately shouted out loudly.

"The immortal! Forgive us!" Said the three people who instantly kneeled before Zhao Bingyan.

Judging from their clothes, it seemed like this person was not a person from Yong Fei country. They must be just a bunch of traders doing the same with them.

"Who are you?" Zhao Bingyan asked with a cold-looking expression.

"We should have asked. Why did you guys just suddenly appear at our place?!" Said one of the teenage boys who was walking behind the three men. "... We're just a bunch of merchants looking for cover."

A fifteen-year-old boy, giving them a cold look for not accepting if they continued to be in the hiding place of these merchants.

"A-Ling! You don't get too fierce like that. They look tired just like us." Said an old man who ran towards the fifteen-year-old teenager earlier. "... Please forgive his stubbornness. A-Ling was just feeling depressed right now." Old grandpa continued.

"Why could he be depressed like that? What the hell is going on out there?" Mu Chen Xiao asked who interrupted the conversation.

The old man hesitated to answer. Then, not long after, he replied, "We are afraid that Yong Fei and Luoyang will fight again."
