The City of Clouds
A few people wearing black clothes entered the entrance gate of the western Cloud City, they were the envoys of Demon General Xiaoru who was now in disguise.
“Please show identification of the gentlemen of all” said one of the guards to the group of people.
“We are from the Ice Crystal Sect of the Wei Kingdom who just finished running the task of the Sect, however we need lodging to rest while recovering power” replied one of them while showing the Ice Crystal Sect identification badge.
After careful attention, the guard relayed a report to the guard commander, then without any complicated checks they were allowed to enter after paying the entrance tax of the City.
“It looks like the guard in Cloud City is very tight, fortunately we are using the identity of the Ice” Crystal Sect disciples said one of them.
In order to prevent the suspicions of the guard soldiers, they asked the nearby inn to the passing citizens. Not too far from the checkpoint was a luxurious inn, without waiting long for them to enter the inn to book a room.
Their appearance was different from the surrounding residents, making several pairs of eyes pay attention to their arrival. But the group was impressed indifferently, “Basic human garbage” murmured in the heart of one of them lowered the gaze of the other lodgers.
A new day went by, making the group from the Kingdom of Wei head for the restaurant for dinner. The atmosphere of the restaurant was quite crowded, they were sitting in the corner of the window while watching the people around.
There were some conversations that were talking about the pills sold by the Golden Sword auction house, as well as the talk of the rapid development of the Wind Sword Sect. The members of the undercover demon army were very interested in the information.
They looked at each other, after hearing some information then they headed for the room that had been booked. The leader of the entourage summoned a servant to search for information about the Wind Sword Sect.
A servant immediately approached the room of the entourage, after being promised a high enough payment the servant told about the Wind Sword Sect in detail. Including the existence of the Wind Sword Sect Chief who was very young but had very high strength, the servant excitedly told about the defeat of Demon General Xiake with his troops being slaughtered by Long Guan.
But the expression of annoyance on the face of the leader of the troupe, almost he could not resist the enormous killing aura, but hurriedly he immediately held it back. His mission this time was to simply search for information without making a mess.
After getting paid, the waiter came out of the guest room with a happy smiling face. “It is better tomorrow that I should visit the Golden Sword auction house to purchase some cultivation pills” the group leader murmured in his heart.
The arrival of the group who claimed to be disciples of the Ice Crystal Sect, could not be separated from the monitoring of the spy forces of the Wind Sword Sect. That evening the news had already been heard by elder Guo Yang and relayed to the other elders.
“It seems that we should be vigilant with their arrival” elder Xie Rong said upon hearing the news.
However the two sects did not have a good relationship, let alone Long Guan's father, Long Fan was a disciple of the Wind Sword Sect who was killed by two elders from the Ice Crystal Sect.
The matter left a deep wound for the Wind Sword Sect, but at that time the situation of the Wind Sword Sect was still very weak and was under the Ice Crystal Sect in terms of strength. At that very instant the Chief of the Wind Sword Sect disappeared without any news on the forbidden ground. Putting the Sect in a very difficult position, back then the five elders were still senior disciples.
“We should pay close attention to them, do not let it fail. Immediately inform the auction house of the Golden Sword not to sell or make any transactions with them” Elder Jian told Elder Xie Rong.
“I also have certain suspicions with the Ice Crystal Sect regarding the murder of the Xie family. Moreover, the intruders from the Wei kingdom who at that time made a mess at the entrance gate of the Sect were about to look for my nephew.
Tomorrow I myself am on guard at the Golden Sword” auction house continued elder Xie Rong in an excited voice, he looked very resentful when he mentioned the name Ice Crystal.
“Alright if so, I will leave this matter to elder Guo Yang and elder Xie Rong to monitor them” Elder Jian said in a polite tone.
“This is the first night the Sect Leader entered the forbidden ground, hopefully nothing happens that worries” elder Yang Guifei tried to shift another topic.
“With the ability of the Sect Chief, there should be no problems. But I also still feel worried, considering the secret of the forbidden land has not been solved until now” said Elder Huang Xun who had been silent.
“Captain Sect is a rare talent, I feel there is a secret in him that is not simple” Elder Jian seemed calm facing this situation.
“May the Sect Chief always be given health and safety wherever he is” continued Elder Jian who was accompanied by a nod from all the elders.
The next day, the group of Ice Crystal disciples were about to shop for cultivation enhancement pills at the Golden Sword auction house, they walked over with sinister gazes looking at the residents in Cloud City.
There also seemed to be free cultivators who looked back and forth, but it was necessary to admit that the strength of the cultivators in Cloud City was higher than Rainbow City in the Wei kingdom region.
“It is fitting that General Xiaoru looks alert to this city” the inner chairman of the entourage.
Not too long later they all reached the Golden Sword auction house, seeing the building that was large enough and majestic made them stunned for a moment.
This was exactly the same as the information they had received from one of the servants in the inn.
“There can we help sir?” said a female servant kindly.
“We want to buy high-level cultivation pills, do you guys sell them?” asked one of the Ice Crystal disciples.
“Sorry sir, if you can know where the gentlemen are from?” ask the waiter.
“We are buyers, what need we have to explain our origin?” say one of them with a rather loud tone.
“Sorry sir, this has been a service procedure at our place, especially we have only first seen the gentlemen all” us maids.
Seeing that there was a crowd made the person in charge of the Golden Sword auction house Zu Aiguo approach him. Zu Aiguo was the newly appointed Deacon to help manage the business entity of the Wind Sword Sect, he was tasked with managing the auction house of the Golden Sword in Cloud City, where he had been assigned to, with his background as the grandson of King Zu Lian would at least make people rethink to interfere with business activities in the Golden Sword auction house.
