Chapter 834: The Hold Up

Lu Chuan invited Mo Wen to sit down and brewed some high-quality Longjing tea before asking what the matter was. Someone like Mo Wen would not visit him for no reason. Even if Mo Wen did not say anything, Lu Chuan knew that Mo Wen had come to him with a particular purpose in mind.

Mo Wen took out two letters. One was for Wang Yinru and the other was for Tan Qiyue, who was still in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. He was leaving all matters concerning the Martial Arts Circle Convention to the two of them.

“So you just want me to deliver two letters? I thought it must be something major to have someone as important as Executor Mo come to me,” Lu Chuan said teasingly. He had not expected Mo Wen to come to see him just to deliver two letters.

“I’ll trouble Executor Lu with regards to this matter then,” Mo Wen said with a smile.

“It is just a small matter that is not worth mentioning. To tell the truth, I was worried earlier that you would ask me to do something that I could not do. Now I can stop worrying about it,” Lu Chuan said with a laugh.

“Executor Lu, now that you have said this, I really do have a request. Do you have a Dragon City Talisman here?”

The Dragon City Talisman was a ticket to enter Dragon City. It was controlled by Huatian Palace and the way it was made resembled the making of spell talismans. However, it was only meant for identification purposes and did not have any other power. Dragon City talismans were made specially and each talisman had a code. They were all carefully recorded and could not be replicated.

Some high-cultivation immortal cultivators might be able to replicate the Dragon City Talisman but could not replicate the code on it. If the codes did not match, the talisman would not be able to pass the Huatian Palace checks no matter how real it looked.

One could see from this how strictly Huatian Palace managed the Dragon City Talisman.

The Dragon City Talisman was the way to enter the Dragon City. Other than internal members of Huatian Palace, anyone else who wanted to enter the Dragon City would have to have the Dragon City Talisman.

“Executor Mo, why do you need the Dragon City Talisman? You can enter Dragon City freely given your status,” Lu Chuan asked curiously. Five-star executors and above of Huatian Palace could all enter and leave Dragon City freely. They could enter Dragon City based on the rings they wore and did not need the Dragon City Talisman.

“I have a few friends who want to join the bustle in Dragon City. I am asking for the talisman for them,” Mo Wen replied with a smile.

“Oh, I only have three Dragon City Talismans and I have already handed all of them out. However, you are a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall. Huatian Palace’s rules say that you can have 10 Dragon City Talismans. If Executor Mo needs them, I can request them from Huatian Palace. However, I will need a little time.”

Lu Chuan hummed for a moment before speaking. The world was so big, but there was only one Dragon City. Every time the Martial Arts Circle Convention started, Dragon City would attract countless warriors. As well as the main space, the warriors also came from various inner worlds and even from abroad.

Even though Dragon City was not small, it could not hold too many people either. As such, the number of people who could enter Dragon City was strictly controlled and ordinary people could not enter.

Because of its scarcity, the Dragon City Talisman was very precious and valuable. Some people would spend exorbitant amounts of money just to get their hands on a Dragon City Talisman. Of course, those people who spent an exorbitant sum did not just go to Dragon City to watch the Martial Arts Circle Convention. They usually had greater goals.

Lu Chuan was a chief executor of a branch palace and only received three Dragon City Talismans. He had sold the three talismans to a few sects in the Taihang Mountains for a great sum of money.

“How long will that take?” Mo Wen asked.

“Two days at most. You are a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, so Huatian Palace will definitely place give your request priority. However, Executor Mo, are you going to request all ten Dragon City Talismans?” Lu Chuan asked with some envy. The members of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall had more benefits than any other regular executors. Ordinary six-star executors would be allocated two talismans at most, and sometimes only one. He was the chief executor of a branch palace and worked very hard, but only received one additional talisman.

Mo Wen, on the other hand, could get ten just like that.

“Then I will come in two days.” Mo Wen smiled and stood up. He did not intend to stay for long. After all, Wan’er and Wang Qian were still outside.

When Mo Wen got back to the Missions Palace Hall, Mei Yixuan and Qi Han had already returned and were speaking with Wan’er and Wang Qian. The two elders did not seem any different from earlier on the outside, but Mo Wen could keenly sense that the two were feeling very anxious. However, they hid that very well and did not show it. It seemed as if they had a million dollars on them and they were afraid that someone might steal that. Could it be that the two had exchanged a valuable treasure in Huatian Palace?

A glint flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. He knew that the two had gone to the Redemption Main Hal earlier. Their emotions right now made Mo Wen think that they had received a treasure in exchange for another valuable object.

“Wan’er, we are done. Let’s go back to the sect.” Mei Yixuan showed no desire to stay in Huatian Palace and instead decided that they were leaving. Her steps were hurried as if she was in a rush to return to the Five Tigers Sect.

The entourage left Huatian Palace and walked in the direction of the Five Tigers Sect. However, they had only traveled 50 miles before something happened.

Suddenly, there was a yell from the forests on both sides of the path, and more than ten figures surrounded the five of them. The people were dressed in black and wore masks, leaving only their eyes exposed.

Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang’s expression changed and grew extremely worried.

“Who are you? Why have you stopped us?” Mei Yixuan asked coldly, inhaling deeply. However, she could not help the cold sweat that trickled from her palms.

Wan’er and Wang Qian were both so frightened that their faces turned pale. They had not expected that something like this would happen on their way back. The men in black were obviously not friendly.

“Hand us the Dragon City Talisman and we will let you live. Otherwise, you die.”

The leader of the men in black approached them. His voice was peculiar because it started and stopped. It was obvious that he used some special means to change his voice. Usually, people who did that were either very careful, or they were afraid that others would discover their identity.

“What Dragon City Talisman? I don’t know what you are talking about,” Mei Yixuan said expressionlessly.

“How stubborn! Don’t think that we do not know. The Five Tigers Sect got some spiritual medicine not long ago. You fulfill the requirements Huatian Palace had to exchange for Dragon City Talismans. You came to Huatian Palace to exchange your spiritual medicine for Dragon City Talismans, didn’t you?”

“Hrmph, the Five Tigers Sect though that we wouldn’t take notice of you all because they sent two elders to make the exchange. Be smart and hand over the Dragon City Talismans. Otherwise, we will send you to your deaths.”

A startling aura burst forth from the man in black. The terrifying aura swept toward them and tossed Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang, the two elders, back four or five steps. Wan’er and Wang Qian, who were warriors of the Regulated Breathing Realm were so frightened that they remained frozen where they were standing. Their faces were pale and their limbs were icy cold. They could not speak.

Mo Wen frowned and took a step forward, blocking Wan’er and Wang Qian from the attack.

The two were shocked to discover that they could no longer feel the terrifying aura when they stood behind Mo Wen’s tall and broad figure. It was as if he was their safe harbor and a strong sense of security surged in their hearts.

A flash of understanding passed through Mo Wen’s eyes. No wonder Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang were so nervous. They had gone to Huatian Palace to exchange items for Dragon City Talismans.

A Dragon City Talisman was enough to make the martial arts sect fight to the deaths. It was not just so they could attend the Martial Arts Circle Convention, but also the Dragon City Mystery Dimension. There were things one could only dream of in Dragon City.

Every time the Martial Arts Circle Convention approached, the world would be thrown into chaos. This was mostly because of the Dragon City Talisman.

The late Embryonic Breathing Realm!

Mei Yixuan was shocked. The leader of the men in black was a powerhouse in the late Embryonic Breathing Realm. There were not many people who were so powerful even in the entire Taihang Mountain range.

“Are you all from the Baili Sect? That slut Fu Yu is indeed vicious!” Mei Yixuan’s expression was icy cold. Their mission this time was a secret, and there were not more than 10 people in the sect who knew that they were carrying it out. These people knew why they had gone to Huatian Palace and the route they were taking. Someone on the inside must have betrayed them. There was no doubt that it was that little slut Fu Yu.

They had already been on their guard against that woman but had not expected her to be so well-informed. She had still gotten information about them.

“What is the Baili Sect?” The leader of the men in black laughed loudly. He would naturally not admit who they were. He said coldly, “Since you are not handing over the Dragon City Talisman, then I will send you to your deaths and take the talisman from your corpses.”

He took a step forward. He moved several hundred meters and viciously grabbed Mei Yixuan around the throat with one hand.

Even though Mei Yixuan’s cultivation level was at the peak of the Qi Nucleation Realm, she did not have a chance of retaliating against such a strong opponent. She would die in just one round.

Coldness enveloped her, and she found it hard to move. She could only watch as the grim reaper approached her.

“You people from Baili Sect are bullies!”

An angry yell rang out from the forest. Then, a figure flew out and instantly blocked the attack.

There was a loud crash, and the power dissipated, uprooting several nearby trees.

An old man appeared in front of Mei Yixuan and blocked the wind. He was none other than the Grand Elder of the Five Tigers Sect, Wang He.

Going to Huatian Palace to exchange items for the Dragon City Talisman was a big deal. Naturally, they would naturally not just send Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang. There was a grand elder who protected them secretly to remain on the down-low.

Wang He had only just appeared when another figure flew out of the forest and appeared before them. He was also an old man who had white hair and a young appearance. His eyes were very lively and were not murky like those of old people. His aura was not any weaker than Wang He. In fact, it was even stronger.

“Grand Elder.”

Wan’er and Wang Qian called out subconsciously when they saw the person. It was obvious that they knew this elder. He was the First Grand Elder of the Five Tigers Sect, Yun Pengqing. His cultivation was in the late stage of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. Only the sect leader was slightly more powerful than him in the entire Five Tigers Sect.
