Chapter 648: 648

In the following days, Qin Yun led Qing Shuang across the Wei Nation and would occasionally take action against fiends . The Wei Nation’s populace were living in misery and, with the Black Wind Fiend Sect permeating the nation, the number of fiends increased .

As they occasionally took action, intelligence on them would also be sent to Patriarch Mental Demon .

“This Daoist Feng hasn’t changed much, but the woman beside him has been changing . The woman is skilled in sword kinesis arts… It’s highly likely that she’s the transformation of the nine-tailed fox . ” Patriarch Mental Demon constantly searched and gathered information . “However, Daoist Feng and the nine-tailed fox appear seemingly at random . They suddenly appear somewhere and quickly depart . It’s hard to prove if he’s Qin Yun .

“If we launch an investigation by searching through space-time in his direction… it would alert Daoist Feng if he were really Qin Yun . ” Patriarch Mental Demon knew this well .

These suspected individuals needed proof .

However, they were not to alert Qin Yun while acquiring the proof!

Once they alerted him…

Qin Yun could instantly tear through space-time and return to the Heavenly realm . Not only would Patriarch Mental Demon fail to accrue any meritorious service, he would even be at fault!

“The plans should unfold slowly . I’ll find Qin Yun without alerting him . ” Patriarch Mental Demon was still rather confident .

A few months passed in a blink of an eye .

“Master, we have arrived at the Wei Nation’s capital . ” High in the sky, Qing Shuang informed her master while looking at the massive city . She had become increasingly more impressed with Qin Yun over time .

She felt that her master, Daoist Feng, was strong, but so was his ability at teaching! She would be enlightened every time he taught her something and, in the past few months, her strength had increased by leaps and bounds . She felt that she was close to the mid-stage Skyimmortal realm .

“What a huge city,” Qin Yun marveled with a nod . It was a nation with a dominion spanning 150,000 kilometers after all . The more cultivators there were, the more extraordinary the capital was . The number of mortals living there exceeded a hundred million while the Skyimmortals in the city numbered in the thousands .

“Let’s enter the city . “

They directed the clouds down and entered through the east gates .

As there were many cultivators, it was common to see people land at the city gates on clouds . Not only did the guards think nothing of it, they even treated Qin Yun and Qing Shuang warmly .

“Mighty figure, the most famous restaurant in Wei Nation is the Eight Immortals Restaurant . Legends say that the Immortals of the Eight Caves once demonstrated their means here and had eaten the dishes served here,” said Qing Shuang . “Of course, the reason why the Eight Immortals Restaurant is so famous in the city has to do with its excellent culinary skills . “

“Let’s go and have a try . ” Qin Yun smiled .

Qing Shuang laughed as she covered her mouth . Having been with her master for months, she long knew that her master enjoyed eating and drinking .

Good food and drink! She was always thinking of ways to bring joy to her master by offering them to him .

…

Eight Immortals Restaurant was not large and it served a limited number of customers a day and the price to eat there was naturally high . When Qin Yun and Qing Shuang arrived, there were no seats available, but since Qing Shuang was not one to care about wealth, she purchased seats from a customer . Of course, it was only in the main dining area of the restaurant . The better and more private ones… were reserved for the wealthy and powerful of the Wei Nation .

Although they only had a table in the main dining area, the environment was excellent . There were trickling streams that naturally separated the tables .

“It’s no wonder they are so famous . ” Qin Yun marveled when he tasted the freshness of the soup he drank . To become the most famous restaurant in a capital, culinary skill was most important .

“They are most famous for their eight flavors . I have ordered all eight flavors, but it will take some time before they serve them,” said Qing Shuang .

The duo ate as they chatted .

Unbeknown to them, in a private room on the second floor, a man in regal gown was resting on the railings while looking down . He was enticed by Qing Shuang when he swept the area .

“Oh?” The regal-gowned man’s eyes lit up .

Qing Shuang had transformed into what seemed like a beautiful girl from a humble family . However, the man had a sharp eye . He instantly saw the mesmerizing charm hidden deep in Qing Shuang . It left him itching .

“What a beautiful demoness . She would be even more redoubtable if she were to cultivate in mesmerization arts . None of my harem can compare with this demoness . ” The man smiled as he immediately sent a voice transmission to his subordinate .

“Go, ‘make sure’ you invite the azure-dressed woman with a sword by her waist up here,” instructed the man via voice transmission .

“Yes . “

A guard immediately complied .

“Your Highness wants me to make sure she is invited up? Then, I have to do it!” The guard went down to Qin Yun’s and Qing Shuang’s table .

“Greetings, Lady . “

The guard said with a smile, “My master wishes to acquaint himself with you . He is upstairs, and I ask for you to not reject my master’s invitation . “

Qin Yun drank and ate by the side with a smile . He did not say a word .

Over the past few months, he had long known of his disciple’s “charm . ” The change in her looks only prevented mortals and weaker entities from seeing her true form, but those that were sufficiently powerful would experience an invisible form of attraction . Even the Wei Nation’s sovereign and the black-robed Skyimmortal Daoist who had pursued her were affected .

Of course, to those of a sufficiently high realm, the influence was weaker .

For instance, late-stage Skyimmortal experts were not affected at all .

“Lady, please follow me . ” Noticing Qing Shuang ignore him, he could not help but reach out his hand to grab at Qing Shuang’s wrist . He planned on taking her up by force .

“Scram!” Qing Shuang immediately flicked her sleeve when she saw him make a physical move .

A wave swept through the guard as he flew backward involuntarily with a bang . He crashed through a few tables, shattering the tableware in the process . He finally slammed into a guardrail in the hall as an array formation barrier appeared to put a stop to his ballistic flight . However, the hall was already in a complete mess .

“Oh no . “

“Quickly get away from them . ” The customers immediately hid in a corner while some watched in interest from afar .

There were thousands of Skyimmortals in the Wei Nation, so it was common to see powerful cultivators clash . They were long accustomed to it .

“What? I have long cultivated to the third firmament Essence Soul realm, but I was thrown back by a mere flick of her hand?” The guard held his chest as blood trickled from the side of his mouth . He looked in disbelief at the azure-dressed woman .

“How dare you act with such impunity in the Wei Nation’s capital!?” An angry bellow sounded .

A few figures flew down from the second floor .

Leading them was none other than the man in a regal gown . He had several subordinates beside him .

Standing beside the man was a blue-robed elder . He said with a sneer, “I never expected my Wei Nation to produce another Skyimmortal I’m unaware of . However, even a Skyimmortal has to abide by the Wei Nation’s rules when in its capital . How dare you bully… the Third Prince’s guard?”

“Third Prince?” many people exclaimed as they looked to the regal-gowned man .

Among the many princes in the Wei Nation, the most famous ones were Eighteenth Prince and the Third Prince because both of them were at the Skyimmortal realm! According to the Wei Nation’s rules… one had to reach the Skyimmortal realm to be qualified to inherit the throne . Of course, the incumbent sovereign was still in power, and his abdication would be thousands of years into the future .

At present, the Third Prince and Eighteen Prince had already amassed a large number of experts under them .

“It’s so rare to have such good food to eat, but someone has to spoil my mood . ” Qin Yun sighed and put down his wine cup . There was no way for him to continue eating with this development .

In fact, Qin Yun was not angry .

On the one hand, he had come to the capital to resolve the Wei Nation’s situation and save countless people from misery . On the other hand, it was also to use himself as bait!

The Wei Nation had all sorts of people . If he were to resolve the Wei Nation’s situation, he was bound to gain the attention of others . It was very likely for him to be discovered by the fiends! With the Fiend Ancestor’s means, it was not difficult for him to determine his identity . That way, it would not be long before a perfected Great Dao fiend expert was sent to assassinate him! He had long set up a trap and used himself as bait . He was waiting for the fish to bite!

Stirring up trouble in the capital made it easy for the fiends to notice him .

“It’s rare for my master to find a restaurant like this, but you have ended up spoiling his mood . ” Qing Shuang stood up and shouted at the Third Prince and company . “Scram!”

“Master?” The Third Prince’s and the blue-robed elder’s hearts jolted .

“This woman is at the Skyimmortal realm, but she calls that man master?”

“What kind of strength would he be, considering he’s a master to a Skyimmortal?”

“How dare you act so belligerently in spite of knowing you’re speaking to the Third Prince?”

Although the Third Prince and company were ordered to scram, they did not turn angry; instead, they turned more wary .
