Towards Eternity
Ch 603's.
Inside the castle room located in the central area of the Lin Family Residence.
A flawless beautiful woman sat down while closing her eyes. Her hair was red burning a quarter of the blaze. She was wearing a dress made from a thin, transparent red cloth. Sometimes the dress gives off a red glow.
Standing behind him, two people were fully dressed in combat. Both of them looked like statues as they did not move in the slightest even though time continued to pass.
Before long, the woman opened her eyes, and displayed a pair of exquisite ruby-red eyes. The people who looked at him would be stunned by the beauty of that pair of eyes, as if they were hypnotized and fixated on his eyes alone.
"Have come."
The woman spoke slowly. The two people behind him could hear him clearly, but had yet to show any reaction of movement.
Looking behind her, the woman looked at one of the people behind her, precisely the person standing behind her left.
"Han, immediately gather your Combat Forces that are in the realm of Soul Unification stage 5 up and take them to the city gate," the woman ordered.
"Good Mom." The man answered quickly. From her voice she was a woman who was likely in her late twenties, or early thirty.
After giving an answer, his figure immediately disappeared from the room.
The woman looked towards the remaining people. "Hen, take everyone in the inner region towards the border of the main region.Especially those who are under the realm of Soul Unification. Gather them all together and arrange them in an orderly manner. Lest anyone accidentally enter the main area, or still be near the border gate of the outer region."
"Understand me, Mother" replied the other person. This time it was the voice of a slightly heavy adult man. Sounds like the voice of a man in his forties.
Before long, the figure of the person also disappeared from the room, leaving the woman alone inside. Blinks. The woman turned back to face forward and stared blankly for a while.
Quickly the sight in front of him turned into a sight in front of the hot lava. But the woman's body is fine. It was just a vision, his body was not moving.
The scenery he saw was none other than the scenery within the lava lake that was around the mountain the Lin Family Residence was located in.
Blinks. The sight the woman saw changed again. This time it was a scene near the edge of the lake, near the foot of the mountain. But the woman did not care about the lava lake, her gaze was more focused on the several shadow points moving between the naturally created stone pillars at the foot of the mountain.
He gave all his focus, and was finally able to see those shadows clearly.
It was the group of Weng Lou who had reached the foot of the volcano and were currently on their way towards the city in the outer region of the Lin Family Residence. They thought that they had managed to enter without being discovered, but unfortunately the one watching them was a Soul Emperor. It was impossible for them to infiltrate the residence of someone inhabited by a Soul Emperor.
"Hmmm..this familiar feeling. Attractively. How fascinating. The people who dumped us hundreds of years ago are now taking the initiative to come to our own territory. I'll listen to what excuses you have, Weng Lou."
***
In the city in the outer region.
Weng Lou along with his group members walked in through the city gate casually.
Before arriving at the city, Weng Lou told Du Zhe and the others to act like him. They infiltrated into the territory of the Lin Family, if they were to be discovered then the entire Lin Family in that place would catch up, then capture and interrogate them one by one.
Weng Lou had no confidence against a Soul Emperor.
Although Samsara was powerful enough to kill an ordinary Soul Sovereign, but it should also have restrictions. An extremely powerful weapon is impossible to have no weaknesses, even the Night Dragon Sword alone has them.
Fortunately, the security system at the city gate was very loose. This is because the people who made it through the lake should have passed the inspection first at the port, so there is no need to check, except when going into deeper areas, so there is no need to check again, then the examination will be done.
"Lou, isn't this town......" Weng Ying Luan beside Weng Lou spoke softly. Weng Lou immediately nodded before he finished his words.
"Yes, this city! No, it's too big! What the fuck is this town? How could a city of this size be built right at the foot of a giant volcano? And also, why are there so many people here?! Isn't the number of people aboard the ferry highly restricted? Where did these people come from???"
Weng Lou was out of words. He was aware that the mountain that became the main place of this Lin Family had a huge that was extremely extraordinary, but who would have thought that an extremely vast city could be built at the foot of his mountain?
The size of this city was even slightly larger than Tiesha City which was one of the largest cities in the Mainland of the Southern Region controlled by the Lin Family.
When they were all still in a state of shock, the corner of Weng Ying Luan's eyes accidentally caught something they had almost missed. Most of the residents inside this city wore clothes with the same emblem on them. The emblem was the emblem of the Lin Great Clan Family, that was the fiery red Phoenix emblem. The phoenix emblem was located randomly, on their chest, back, or all over their clothes, the Phoenix emblem could be seen anywhere.
Only a small percentage of the people within the city did not have the Phoenix emblem on their clothes. It was easy for Weng Ying Luan to guess that those wearing clothes with the Phoenix emblem were none other than members of the Lin Family, while those who did not wear clothes with the emblem of Phoenix like their group were visitors from outside.
Weng Lou also immediately realized this. He and Weng Ying Luan looked at each other before then taking a cold breath.
*Huff.....*
"They are everywhere. The Lin Family's. It's dangerous, I'm afraid that our identity as intruders will be exposed very quickly inside this city if we're just a little mispronounced" Weng Lou said in a serious voice.
Weng Ying Luan nodded in return.
If their numbers were only a few hundred or thousands along the city, they would not be too afraid, however vast this city was truly incredible. They still have a chance to escape.
"I detected several groups of Martial Practitioners around a few hundred from here. Judging from their movements, it seems like they are moving towards you guys, I suggest to hurry away from here while trying as much as possible not to appear flashy."
Samsara appeared beside Weng Lou while gazing towards the center of the city, where three groups of troops were moving rapidly towards the outer gate of the city. Although it is not certain whether they move with their goals, but the Weng Lou group should not take greater risks.
"I can feel it, they're moving in a hurry, which means there's something they're after. It'd be bad if our group met them."
"Everyone, come with me, and try not to attract attention. The road is normal, and as usual as possible, we will take the route around and avoid the city soldiers" Weng Lou told everyone in his group.
Led by Weng Lou, they all immediately took the road to the right at the first crossroad of the city streets. Just a moment later, three groups of soldiers walked through the crossroads of the road and kept walking straight towards the outer gate of the city.
Inside the city, the group of Weng Lou walked carefully. Weng Lou circulated his Soul Power to cover a hundred meter radius around it. That way he could avoid the city soldiers and choose a road that looked safe.
In order not to be too suspicious, they occasionally stopped and browsed through the items sold within the city.
Although the place where the city stood was the main mining place belonging to the Lin Family, but the goods sold within the city were not only natural mineral materials. As one of the Great Clan Family Emperors, the Lin Family was also famous as a producer of quality jewelry in the Mainland.
The jewelry produced by them is made from various kinds of valuable minerals obtained from their own mines so that the price of these jewelry is so fantastic for ordinary people. But in the eyes of those who understand the value of a work, these jewels are the items that become their main target.
Just imagine, a material to make a Spiritual Weapon was made into such a beautiful necklace, who would not be interested? Even the Martial Practitioners in the realm of Soul Unification did not mind buying it, especially among women.
"Hm?"
While he was busy choosing the street, the corner of Weng Lou's eyes accidentally caught something in a jewelry store that made him stop suddenly.
Weng Ying Luan who was right behind him was unprepared with it and smashed into Weng Lou's back to make the two push forward a few steps and fell down in front of the jewelry store stairs that Weng Lou saw.
"Gosh, Lou! Can't you give me a sign before it stops like that?!" Weng Ying Luan murmured in annoyance.
Although falling like that did not make him feel the slightest pain, yet he felt ashamed from being seen by many people on the streets. Especially some women who had a little laugh saw it.
If Weng Lou was not her best friend, Weng Ying Luan would have kicked her butt hard.
"Nobody told you to walk right behind me." Weng Lou spoke without looking at Weng Ying Luan.
His attention was focused on the jewelry at the jewelry store. An earring shaped fire feather that is bright red. The earrings give off a dim light every few seconds making them look attractive.
But that was not what attracted his attention, but the material from the earrings that made him interested.
"Pure Red Rice Metals? That earring material is pure Red Rice? How's it possible?"
Red Rice Metal, is a metal with natural fire elements in it. It was usually the main ingredient of making Tier 3 Weapons.
In general, Metal Rice contains elements that are chaotic in it so it needs the right technique for its use. There are several ways, but usually the technique used only makes the quality of the metal down because many elements are wasted, but usually the quality of the metal is wasted, this made the Metal Pulse only suitable as a material for making Level 3 Weapons, or as an additional material for lower Spiritual Weapons.
Few know that there are one or two special techniques to make the quality on the Metal Rice remain intact, or even improve.
When the elements within the Metal Rice became stable and perfectly purified, the Metal Rice could become a completely different metal from before, it could even be made as the main ingredient of a level 3 Spiritual Weapon.
The natural element within it is the ultimate one, which makes it extremely valuable. The purer the higher the value in the eyes of Martial Practitioners.
Seeing such a luxurious material made into an earring, how could Weng Lou not be surprised by it?
Moreover, the earrings are seen only on display with ordinary at the front of the store, without any strict guard from the store owner. Weng Lou thought, could it be that the owner of this shop is an idiot who knows nothing about metal?
While she was still glued to her place, the red earrings in the shop gave off a dim light and made her look beautiful, like a real Phoenix feather.
However, unbeknownst to Weng Lou, from those earrings, the Head of the Lin Family had seen it clearly.
The earrings, not placed carelessly by the owner of the jewelry store, but it was deliberately placed right in front of the store without any care.
From the outside, the earring was just like an ordinary piece of jewelry that was very beautiful, but it was actually a tool worn by the Head of the Family to more easily supervise the entire city. With those earrings, he could see and feel the figure of Weng Lou glued in front of the shop.
"Hoo. Looks like the ancestors themselves supported our meeting." The head of the Lin Family spoke softly above his throne.
He looked ahead and saw that eleven people had stood firmly before him.
These eleven people wore full combat clothing that covered from head to toe. Their entire bodies emitted hot steam and a powerful fighting aura emanated powerfully from their bodies.
"Come, come with me, we'll welcome our old master. May he not forget the things he has done before, to all of us who are here."
