“Ye Mo, you’re back.” When Yantian Dan Wang saw Ye Mo, the worry in his eyes seemed to relax a lot. Ye Mo felt Yan Tian Dan Wang’s concern for him and some warmth rose in his heart. At the time when he was being a*sa*sinated by the Wuji Sect and the Thundercloud Sect, most people seemed to be drawing a line in the sand with him, except for a very few of his friends.
Shen Yanqing had only just finished asking this question when he stared straight at Ye Mo and asked in shock, “You are already at the second level of Body Condensation cultivation? How is that possible?”
“Ah ……” Not only Shen Yanqing, but also Xu Changji was stunned by Ye Mo’s cultivation level, when he first saw Ye Mo, Ye Mo was at the same YuanYing cultivation level as him, but now Ye Mo was actually at the Condensed Body cultivation level, while he was still at the Void God fourth level. To him, the fourth level of Void God was already a flying speed, and he could not imagine that Ye Mo was even more perverted than him.
“Yes, senior Yantian Dan Wang, junior just got some strange encounters, so his cultivation has increased somewhat fast.” Ye Mo only said halfway, the topic immediately just turned and asked, “Senior Yantian, why is Senior Silver Moon Dan Wang missing?”
One Ye Mo really didn’t want to talk more about his cultivation, and the second he was really hung up on the Silver Moon Dan King.
A trace of gloom flashed in Shen Yanqing’s eyes, “Let’s talk about this inside.”
Ye Mo nodded, he knew that there were prohibitions inside. He once again turned his head to Xu Changji and said, “Senior brother, why is Ye Wucai missing? And how come when I entered the City of the Moons, there was no one at the entrance of the city either?”
Before Xu Changji could say anything, Shen Yanqing said, “Ye Mo, don’t worry, although there are no guards on the surface of the City of the Moons, secretly, like Dan City, there are already two True Transformation Cultivators guarding it. Nothing will go wrong.”
“Yes, there are two Transformation True Seniors following Senior Master Yantian, those two Transformation True Seniors are in the shadows of the City of the Moon-moon, no one dares to come here to spill the beans, don’t worry about it, Senior Brother. Ye Wucai is now in seclusion to attack the Foundation Establishment, so you don’t have to worry about that either.” Xu Changji said in a hurry.
Ye Mo instantly put his heart down, but the Mochizuki City he wanted to manage was not like Dan City. It needed to be secretly protected by experts. He needed the City of Moon-moon to have its own set of systems. The Jedi was not the kind that was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, but needed a strict system just like the inside and outside. It was not a city where anyone could come whenever they wanted to, at least not now.
Ning Qingxue seemed to know what Ye Mo was thinking and immediately said, “Honey, I’ll come help you later. I will set up a complete system of Mo Yue City’s institutions and registry system, and then make Mo Yue City the same as the former Luo Yue City.”
Xu Changji looked at Ning Qingxue in confusion, he knew about Ye Mo. But did not know Ning Qingxue. But Ning Qingxue dared to say such words, so she obviously had a great relationship with Ye Mo, otherwise she wouldn’t have said something about managing the City of Moons.
Ye Mo hurriedly introduced Ning Qingxue and Luo Ying as well as Bei Wei and Lin Isao Half to each other, and then let Xu Changji and Ning Qingxue go and arrange the rest of the people before he and Shen Yanqing hurriedly left the place.
Shen Yanqing led Ye Mo into the innermost chamber and opened the ban. Only then did Ye Mo see Yue Qi Chao, whose face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, and was instantly shocked, “What’s wrong with Silver Moon City Master?”
He was afraid that something was wrong with Yue Qichao, but right now, it looked as if something was really wrong with Yue Qichao.
After Shen Yanqing sealed the ban, he then said to Ye Mo, “We were deliberately transferred out of Dan City in the first place, and dealing with you was just one of the purposes along the way.”
Ye Mo’s heart sank, and he knew he had indeed guessed correctly. The Silver Moon Dan King and the Yantian Dan King had really been transferred out of Dan City. The audacity of these people was simply too big to be true. How dare they even dare to a*sa*sinate the Silver Moon Dan King. They even dared to deal with the Silver Moon Dan King, so how could they fear themselves, an Honorary City Lord of Dan City. A seventh-grade Dan King who had just been promoted?
Ye Mo’s divine sense swept the Silver Moon Dan King but did not see any condition, he did not rush to ask, but listened to Shen Yanqing’s explanation.
“Over a year ago, the Silver Moon Dan King said that he had a feeling in his heart and was preparing to retreat to impact the Heavenly Grade Eighth Grade Dan King. But just on the eve of his seclusion, he received the news that a Dan Spring had appeared.”
“Dan Quan?” Ye Mo subconsciously interrupted Shen Yanqing’s words, he had not heard of the Dan Spring, but he also knew that he had seen very little.
Shen Yanqing, however, did not care, but nodded and said, “The Dan Spring existed in the ancient times, you have not heard of Ye Normal, because it has not appeared for a long time. I heard that an immortal pill fell on the Luo Yue Continent and ended up forming a clear spring, which is the Dan Spring. The water from the Dan Spring can be used to coward a hundred diseases for mortals, but it cannot be used to make pills or used by cultivators.”
After a pause, Shen Yanqing’s face grew heavy as he said, “But the Dan Spring has an extremely important role for alchemists, and it is said that in ancient times, when the Dan King of Luo Yue wanted to go further, he had to go to the Dan Spring to have an epiphany and sit by the Dan Spring
to comprehend the Dao of Dan. This is why in ancient times there were many Ninth Grade Dan Kings in the Luo Yue Continent, and even Dan Kings who could refine Immortal Pills. But then the Dan Spring appeared less and less often, and until the last time it appeared, it hadn’t even appeared for over a thousand years.”
Ye Mo asked with some clarity, “After senior and senior Silver Moon Dan King learned of the appearance of the Dan Spring, they went on an epiphany of the Dan Dao?”
Shen Yanqing nodded and said, “Yes. At that time, after Silver Moon Dan King and I learned of the news, we were both extremely invigorated and went to the Dan Spring together.”
Ye Mo was even sure that the Dan Spring matter was a lie, now he only wanted to know who had informed the two City Lords to go to the Dan Spring.
“You must have thought that the Dan Spring matter was a fake.” Shen Yanqing seemed to know Ye Mo’s thoughts and asked out loud.
Ye Mo nodded and said, “Yes, I think someone should have deliberately transferred the two seniors away from Dan City, and that’s why they dared to make a move against me.”
Shen Yanqing, however, shook his head and said, “The matter of the Dan Spring is true, the Dan Spring has really reappeared, that person who informed us did not lie to us ……”
When he said this Shen Yanqing suddenly let out a sigh, he surprisingly did not continue, but turned to Ye Mo and asked, “Do you know what grade of Dan King is the highest grade of Dan King in Southern An Continent now?”
Ye Mo also did not understand why Shen Yanqing suddenly cut off the topic he had just talked about and asked such an irrelevant question instead. However, he still returned, “I’m not very sure, but I heard that there is an eighth-grade Dan King and a ninth-grade Dan King in Dan City who have gone into hiding. They don’t ask about worldly affairs and are bent on seeking the Dao of Dan, or the Dao of Immortality.”
When Shen Yanqing heard Ye Mo’s words, he suddenly sneered and said, “Do you believe that?”
Ye Mo froze, of course he believed in single-mindedly seeking the immortal dao, what was there not to believe? Isn’t a person who cultivates the Dao to seek the immortal path?
Seeing that Ye Mo was a bit dazed, Shen Yanqing said coldly, “It’s true that one heart seeks the Immortal Dao and the Dan Dao, but one heart doesn’t ask about worldly affairs do you believe that?”
Without waiting for Ye Mo to speak, Shen Yanqing said again, “In fact, there is no hidden eighth grade or ninth grade Dan King in Dan City, apart from me and Silver Moon Dan King, there is indeed another hidden Dan King, but he is also only a seventh grade Dan King. That seventh-grade Dan King has never been reclusive and never asked questions about the world, or on the surface, but every year more than 70% of Dan City’s eighth-grade and ninth-grade spiritual herbs are taken away by him. With so many Dan Kings and True Transformation cultivators in Dan City, plus the spiritual herbs flowing over from the rest of the Southern An Continent, how many Grade 8 and Grade 9 spiritual herbs are found in a year? A person who doesn’t ask questions about the world can take away so many spirit herbs?”
Suddenly Shen Yanqing suddenly stood up and clenched his fist in a hateful voice, “Every year, so many resources of Dan City are concentrated on him alone, and because we respect him as a senior, the Silver Moon Dan King and I never say anything, and even take the initiative to help collect high grade spirit herbs. But I didn’t expect that he would make a move against the Silver Moon Dan King, and I couldn’t bear it anymore.”
Ye Mo didn’t say anything, he felt that there seemed to be something complicated here, he simply couldn’t figure it out. But then he remembered what Elder Kong Ye had said to him, Kong Ye said that even the most powerful Dan King in Southern An Continent was only a seventh grade Dan King, so that was really the case.
After his excitement, Shen Yanqing once again quieted down and said decently, “The one with the most power in Dan City is not the First City Lord, nor the Vice City Lord, but the Supreme City Lord. There is an ironclad rule in Dan City that whoever has the highest Dan Dao cultivation is the Tai Shang City Lord, without any reason. It turned out that that Seventh Grade Dan King had entered the Seventh Grade realm before both Yin Yue and I did, so he was the Tai Shang City Lord. Only when someone later in Dan City surpa*ses the Seventh Grade Dan King, the original Tai Shang City Lord is immediately demoted to the rank of Tai Shang Offerer.”
Ye Mo suddenly had some clarity, although Shen Yanqing didn’t name him, he had obviously identified who had caused the Silver Moon Dan King’s death. It was that Tai Shang City Lord, and he was afraid that once the Silver Moon Dan King advanced to the rank of Eighth Grade Dan King, his Tai Shang City Lord would have to give up his position.
Perhaps he didn’t care much about this Supreme City Lord, but once the Supreme City Lord gave up his position, then he wouldn’t be able to enjoy 70% of Dan City’s extremely high quality resources every year. Without the resources, how would he be able to advance to a higher Dan King? How could one go about asking for the Immortal Dao?
After all was said and done, it was still for his own cultivation path. In that case, it was normal that no one had come forward when he was victimised by Dan City. That Supreme City Lord was afraid that he would advance too quickly and end up becoming an eighth-grade Dan King, stealing his status as Supreme City Lord. If that guy really thought that way, he was blind, and had thus tried to gain a foothold in Dan City himself.
The Silver Moon Dan King and the Inkstone Dan King were open and honest, and had no selfish motives. They would not have any petty thoughts even if they were promoted to the eighth-grade Dan King, they would only be more happy that there was another eighth-grade Dan King in the cultivation world.
“Senior Silver Moon Dan King is already at the cultivation level of a Transformed True, how could that Tai Shang City Lord a*sa*sinate the Silver Moon Dan King even if he wanted to make a move?” Ye Mo believed that Shen Yanqing would not lie to him, but it was indeed difficult for a Transformation True cultivator to be a*sa*sinated if he was not under siege
