The Sky Poison Pearl
The Blue Wind Government City

"Dad, was big brother Yun Che indeed sent by the Phoenix God to save us?" Feng Zu'er asked innocently, while looking at the sky reluctantly.

Feng Baichuan stroked his son's head and slowly nodded: “Yes. Ever since our ancestors made such a big mistake, after so many atonements and regrets, the Phoenix God has finally forgiven us. However, I have a wonderful feeling that one day, we will meet him again.”

"really?" The eyes of Feng Zu'er and Feng Xianer twinkled as their faces filled with anticipation.

"Of course." Feng Baichuan smiled. Without the cursed bloodline, their strength would no longer be limited, and the phoenix imprint on their foreheads could be hidden at any time so that the next generation would no longer need to hide in the dangerous land deep in the mountains: "However, the next time we see him, perhaps the level at which he will stand, will be high enough for everyone to see. That's why, Zu'er, Feng'er, if you want to see him again, you should start practicing diligently from now on. As of now, we don't have the qualifications to repay his great kindness, but once you both grow up and gain enough strength, you can get out of here and help him… Even if it is a very small favor, it will still show the gratitude of our entire clan.”

"Mmmm!" Feng Zu'er and Feng Xian'er excitedly nodded their heads as their young and gentle faces filled with determination.

"If it's from here to the Blue Wind government city, how long will it take?"

“With the speed of the Snow Eagle, if we fly fourteen hours a day, we will arrive about ten days or so.”

Blue Wind City, the capital of the Blue Wind imperial country. Since he had previously lived in the Floating Cloud city, Yun Che had never thought that one day he would step into the Blue Wind city. As the capital of the government, the level of wealth, power, was undoubtedly at the peak of the empire. Rich, influential, and powerful practitioners who can show contempt for extraordinary heroes in a normal city, are basically reduced to the middle class when it comes to the nation's capital.

Without feeling the time passes quickly. After ten days of travel, Yun Che and Lan Xueruo finally reached the Blue Wind Reign City. This was the first time Yun Che had gone to the capital where he was born, and he experienced a bit of shock on the way there. 

Yun Che sighed in admiration as he stood in front of the main entrance of the Blue Wind Palace: “That indeed deserves the title of number one Palace of the Blue Wind Empire! Compared to New Moon Palace, it has its impressive air and aura being on a completely different level.”

Lan Xueruo was very familiar with the Blue Wind city and introduced it to locations in many major areas. After which, he brought her to the front door of the Blue Wind Palace.

The first thing he wanted to do was calm Yun Che down at the Blue Wind Imperial Palace.

“That's natural. The Blue Wind Palace had a heritage of one thousand eight hundred years and was directly overseen and provided by the royal family. With rich resources and a good environment to cultivate energy, even having a renowned teacher in the empire so naturally, the branches of the Palace could not even be compared. Lan Xueruo said this while taking out the short-range sound Transmission Amulet she had bought on the road and placing it on top of her own Sound Transmission Jade. As the Sound Transmission Amulet broke and disappeared, a small matrix appeared on his own Sound Transmitter stone.

"I'm already here, at the main entrance of the Palace." Lan Xueruo spoke. As his voice fell, the matrix on the Transmission Sound Amulet faded.

Shortly after, a middle-aged man in purple clothes who had a soft look rushed out from within the Palace. At the sight of them, he shouted from afar, “Xueruo, Yun Che!? You two okay?"

“Head of Qin Palace? Why are you here?"

He turned to face Lan Xueruo, and asked in shock, "The person you just sent the voice to earlier, is Palace Head Qin?"

"You're still asking why I'm here?" Qin Wuyou looked at them, let out a long sigh, and replied with a face full of fear, “At first, you disappeared for a few days and to find you, Xueruo went to the Xiao Branch Sect alone. After that, I did not receive any more messages so I could not help but travel alone to the branch sect, only to find out that their entire sect was already in a state of chaos. After I left and fought with Xiao Tiannan, Xiao Zaihe returned and said that the two of you have fallen into the Thousand Beasts Mountain region, and not even your bones and corpses can be found. Sigh, I almost lost my soul in shock. For over a month, I have been living restlessly and I can no longer wait in New Moon city so I came here to look for news about the two of you, she said,

The anxiety and relief Qin Wuyou expressed were all true without any falsehoods. This caused some doubt to appear in Yun Che's heart. He would definitely not believe he would worry Qin Wuyou in such a way, which meant that the cause of Qin Wuyou's reaction was undoubtedly Lan Xueruo. To let the Palace Master become so anxious that he would even travel to the Blue Wind Imperial City…. The only explanation for this was that Qin Wuyou and Lan Xueruo had long since become acquainted and only had a relationship far on the surface.

“Head of Qin Palace, did you... tell my father?” Lan Xueruo asked very carefully.

“Huh, how dare I. If I let you know I didn't protect you well, my head is this…. Hehe, thank goodness you came back safely. Otherwise, even I, would not be able to handle it.” Qin Wuyou wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Chief of Qin Palace, you don't plan to return to the New Moon Palace again, do you?" Yun Che asked coldly.

Qin Wuyou was startled, and then nodded his head: “True, they have assigned the new palace chief. But how do you know this?”

"I think." Yun Che laughed and said frivolously. "I think Indeed, the reason why Qin Wuyou went to the New Moon was for Lan Xueruo. It seemed Lan Xueruo's identity was extraordinary."

“Yun Che, where did you disappear during those few days? Why are you still being chased by the Xiao Sect even when you and Xueruo are together? How did you escape danger after falling into the Thousand Beasts Mountain Range that even I did not dare to enter? Could it be that Xiao Zaihe concocted the story after he couldn't catch you?” Qin Wuyou let go of a series of questions.

“About that, I'll explain it to you later. Palace Head Qin, how was the situation in the Xiao Branch Sect when you left New Moon city?” Lan Xueruo asked.

"Heh heh, that branch sect." Qin Wuyou started laughing, "I think they're almost done."

"Almost.... done for?” Lan Xueruo asked in surprise.

"That's right." Qin Wuyou nodded and slowly replied: “I don't know which unlucky star they met, but according to the news I heard, they seem to have hired a healer who is considered a genius healer, which then paralyzed Xiao Luocheng completely, paralyzing all of his meridians and destroying all of his blood vessels. Forget about having energy, he wouldn't even be able to stand up in this lifetime. He could only get through his life in that bed right now. Not only that, I also heard that the impostor had cleaned up the entire treasury neatly before he went through an unknown means. It had eliminated most of the foundation of that Sect.”

"Then, have they found out who the 'tribe' is?" Lan Xueruo glanced at Yun Che as she asked amusedly.

Qin Wuyou shook his head, “No. I heard the healer was in disguise, and there was no way to start looking.”

Yun Che smirked. He knew, even if Xiao Tiannan clearly knew that everything was done by him, he would still never say it out loud. Because if he were to tell an outsider that a big sect like them had fully played in the hands of a sixteen year old youth and in the Nascent Realm, let alone their branch sect, he said, even their main sect would be too embarrassed to face anyone.

“But after all, the branch sect was quite large. If they clenched their teeth, they should be able to handle it with great difficulty. But what happened after that was even more interesting.” An excited expression of the misery of others began to appear on Qin Wuyou's face, “I heard that in order to save his son, Xiao Luocheng, Xiao Tiannan personally went to the black moon merchant to buy the dragon's Core! But on the second day, he barged into the black moon merchant again, insisting that the dragon core was fake. This was originally a secret.... but what kind of existence was the Black Moon Merchant Guild like? Will they sell fake goods? But if it was a fake, why could Xiao Tiannan and Xiao Baicao not tell the difference when they went to buy the dragon Core at first? Facing Xiao Tiannan's aggression, Pu He of the black moon merchant spread the news that Xiao Tiannan had bought the dragon Core from them out of anger.
