Chu Yueli and Her Disciples arrived at Demon Imperial City
🕑 Added 2024-12-23 15:20:50 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 301 ---
After flying for a few hours, Chu Yueli, Xiao Lingxi, and Yona finally arrived at the Demon Imperial City. They were surprised by the state of this city because it looked like a disaster struck it recently.
"What happened here? Did a hurricane just hit this city?" Xiao Lingxi was speechless.
Yona sniffed the air, "No, it was a fight. I smelled strong beast's scents in the atmosphere, probably powerful ones."
She took another sniff and added, "Probably large mammals."
"How did you know that?" Xiao Lingxi stared at Yona with a bewildered look.
Yona put on a poker face and replied flatly, "My sense of smell is quite good."
Xiao Lingxi rolled her eyes at this answer. She didn't believe Yona's sense of smell was just "quite" good because even dogs couldn't compare to her nose.
Amused by Xiao Lingxi and Yona's conversation, Chu Yueli couldn't help but shake her head. Chu Yueli might let out a few giggles if she didn't know about Yona's origins.
However, the ex-mistress of Heavenly Sword Villa is tragic. She has become a person that people of her past couldn't recognize.
Even Chu Yueli felt the disparity between Xuanyuan Yufeng and Yona as they were 'spiritually' two different people.
Xuanyuan Yufeng is no more.
There is only "Yona" through and through.
"Okay, stop bickering. Let's go and meet my sister first." Chu Yuechan said, bringing them into the city.
Although the guards tried to stop them, Chu Yuechan's aura alone could deter them mute. She gracefully walked into the city with the girls and searched for the Imperial Demon Palace for a few minutes.
After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at the majestic palace.
Xiao Lingxi's dull eyes widened because the palace was a thousand times bigger than her entire Xiao Clan. Even the gate alone could cast a shadow over ten meters long over them.
"So rich, too rich." Xiao Lingxi mumbled dumbly.
"Rich? Can I eat that?" Yona was confused. After all, she didn't know the importance of wealth.
Chu Yueli stared at the palace calmly and released her profound sense, allowing Chu Yuechan, who meditated inside, to sense her presence quickly.
As Chu Yueli expected, Chu Yuechan opened her eyes and glanced at the large window. She opened her mouth and mumbled, "Yueli."
Chu Yuechan snapped her finger and tore a spatial fabric from her room to the palace's gate, making Chu Yueli smile a bit before dragging Xiao Lingxi and Yona in.
The patrolling guards were shocked by this sight, and before they could speak any nonsense, a feminine voice brushed their ears.
"There is nothing to see here. So, turn around and do your job." Chu Yuechan's neutral voice is like iced water buckets thrown over their heads.
Meanwhile, Chu Yuechan patted her lap gently and stared at the portal before her.
"Sister, do you miss me?" asked Chu Yueli with a smile.
"I do, but not much." Chu Yuechan tried to be humorous for once, but it came off.
Chu Yueli was stunned before chuckling, "How cute. Anyway, I'm bringing my little students here."
"Where is the young master?"
Chu Yuechan sighed, "Huan Caiyi brought him somewhere. I didn't come along with them because he said the place was unfriendly to ice profound practitioners like me."
"Oh, there is such a place?" Even though Chu Yueli felt her ice was better than Chu Yuechan because of its purity, the latter's attainment in ice manipulation is still high.
When Yu Long said a site could be unfriendly to Chu Yuechan, that place was probably too hot, to the point of melting ice element conjured by an expert at the early stage of Divine Origin Realm.
"It might have divine origin..." Chu Yueli mumbled to herself.
"Well, this is such a shame. I previously hoped we could meet the young master as soon as we arrived at the Demon Imperial City."
"You're at the end of your luck. The young master won't be returning till tomorrow, I assume." Chu Yuechan replied casually. "It might be even longer if Huan Caiyi stalls more."
"She's at that level already? Impressive." Chu Yueli nodded her head in affirmation. Before, she would have felt a little lost, but Yu Long had eaten her and her sister not too long ago, so she wasn't discouraged by other women in the harem.
Not to mention, Chu Yueli already expected Huan Caiyi to join the harem sooner or later.
Well, Huan Caiyi joined the team faster than Chu Yueli thought.
Chu Yueli sighed helplessly, "What should we do then? Are we going to wait here for a whole day?"
Chu Yuechan snorted, "You're acting like you can't just meditate. Rather than wasting your time, it's better to cultivate and raise your cultivation base quickly."
"Hmph, you're a sword cultivator. You didn't understand the difficulty of a pure elemental cultivator like me, though you use an ice element." Chu Yueli rebuked while crossing her arms.
Yes, Chu Yuechan has 'fully' abandoned the pure elemental path she once pursued.
Although Chu Yuechan has a 'strong' ice element from her bloodline and teaching of the Frozen Cloud Asgard, she's now engrossed in the path of swordsmanship.
No, calling it the Mystery of the Sword is more appropriate.
Chu Yuechan pursed her lips and didn't say anything to this matter. She glanced at Xiao Lingxi and Yona and said, "Since you don't want to wait, you can bring that girl to meet her relative in the Yun Family."
"Are you talking about Yun Che?" Chu Yueli tilted her head.
Chu Yuechan shook her head gently, "Not too long ago, Yun Canghai came looking for the young master. He brought Yun Che and another young man with 80% similar qualities to Xiao Lingxi."
Hearing Chu Yuechan's words, Xiao Lingxi's ears couldn't help but perk up.
Xiao Lingxi adjusted her bearing and asked calmly, "This... Miss, are you perhaps talking about my long-lost nephew? The one who got swapped with Yun Che."
After coming to the Illusory Demon Realm, Xiao Lingxi obviously learned the truth about Yun Che's swap with her real nephew, who was 'naturally' brought to this continent years ago.
At first, Xiao Lingxi didn't know what to feel. She felt complicated as she always thought Yun Che was her family, but knowing the truth, she couldn't help but feel pity for this 'biological' nephew.
She struggled for a bit before accepting this nephew, thinking blood was thicker at the end of the day. Since there is a family bother, she would take it wholeheartedly.
'With this, Father (Xiao Lie) won't be too sad anymore.' Xiao Lingxi thought to herself.
Although Xiao Lie buried the matter of Xiao Lingxi's late brother, she could tell the sadness in his aged eyes. The death of Xiao Ying hit him deeply, and it lasted for years.
Now that Xiao Ying's son is still alive and well, Xiao Lie should feel some relief.
"Teacher, let's go and meet Yun Che first." Xiao Lingxi looked at Chu Yueli with bright eyes.
Chu Yueli helplessly patted her forehead, "Well, we have some free time, so we might as well use it to relax."
"What do you think, Yona?"
Yona pouted because she couldn't meet Yu Long and replied, "Fine, let's follow Lingxi to the Yun Family."
Chu Yuechan nodded, "Good."
"You can find the Yun Family compound on the west side of Demon Imperial City. A purple pillar of light rose from the compound, so you shouldn't miss the place."
"Thanks." Chu Yueli smiled, dragging Xiao Lingxi and Yona into the portal again.
Watching the three disappear, Chu Yuechan thought of something and shook her head. "I can't go back and meditate because of them."
"Without the Master's presence, this world is dull."
"Let's find Thalia. I need a spare sword to use."
