Chapter 993: Simple And Clean

In the ancient land, the standard of weapon refining was so poor, so the sudden appearance of a powerful weapon refining master would quickly be noticed.

“The Multicolor Queen has her eye on Junxue’s manufacturing techniques? Doesn’t that mean that the Multicolor Queen will keep Junxue alive for now?” A look of joy flashed in Chu Yu’s eyes. He was afraid that Nie Junxue had already been killed by the Multicolor Queen.

“Madman Xiao’s analysis is reasonable. When Junxue sent me her message, the contents mentioned weapon refining,” Wen Jiuhai said as he nodded his head.

Out of the three of them, he was the only one who had received Junxue’s distress Sound Resonating Talisman. Although there was not much information in it, it mentioned that she had found many precious weapon refining materials in the ancient land and was preparing to manufacture a bunch of spiritual treasures. Before she could begin, she had been discovered by the Multicolor Queen.

“Although the four of us entered the preliminary ancient land together, Junxue’s methods are different from ours. She didn’t steal any of the foreign clan’s treasures and instead bartered to exchange treasures with the foreign clans. Who would have thought that she would be the one who would get into trouble?” Wen Jiuhai said.

Nie Junxue must have caught the eye of foreign clan members, and they had an ulterior motive for dealing with her. The Multicolor Clan was the most proficient at monitoring other people. It was likely that the Multicolor Clan had noticed Nie Junxue’s activities in the ancient land a while ago. The fact that she was manufacturing treasures would have immediately caught their attention. This caused the Multicolor Queen to personally capture Nie Junxue.

“Since the Multicolor Queen values Junxue’s manufacturing techniques, she will treat her well and make her work for the benefit of the Multicolor Clan. I suspect that Nie Junxue is currently not locked up in a deep and dark dungeon. Instead, she will be held captive somewhere quite nice, but it will also be a place that she can’t escape from,” Xiao Jinghe said as he continued to analyze the situation.

A dungeon was a place to lock up criminals. Since the Multicolor Queen valued Nie Junxue, she would not lock her up in a place like that.

“There can’t be many places like that in Multicolor City,” Chu Yu said. “We’re looking for somewhere that can imprison Nie Junxue, is not too shabby and is also a place that Nie Junxue can’t escape from. If we eliminate the places that don’t fulfill those criteria, we are only left with a few places.”

“I think the most likely place is the Multicolor Queen’s Palace. The chances of Nie Junxue being there are fairly high,” Wen Jiuhai said.

“That’s right. She’s probably in the Multicolor Queen’s Palace. Nie Junxue is no ordinary person and won’t give in easily. Right now, the Multicolor Queen is probably thinking up ways to persuade her to work for her. Keeping her by her side is naturally more convenient,” Xiao Jinghe said as he nodded his head.

“However, if Nie Junxue is being kept in close proximity to the Multicolor Queen, it makes rescuing her really difficult,” Wen Jiuhai said with a frown.

If Nie Junxue was locked up anywhere else, they might still have a chance of rescuing her. However, if she was imprisoned in the Multicolor Queen’s Palace, they would certainly be unable to avoid the Multicolor Queen during their rescue attempt. That would make everything much more difficult.

The Multicolor Queen was a strong force to be reckoned with. It would be almost impossible to rescue someone from her clutches.

They all fell silent. Indeed, if Nie Junxue was locked up in the palace, then her position was easy to locate. However, rescuing her would be incredibly difficult. Even if they all combined their combat power, they would not be a match for the Multicolor Queen. Moreover, there were countless experts in Multicolor City. There were most likely more than one or two experts like the Flame Horn King. Once matters started to escalate, they might not even have the opportunity to get close to the Multicolor Queen because they would be dealing with other warriors.

“What should we do?”

They frowned. If this was the outside world, these princelings of the Huatian Palace would never be so helpless. However, in the preliminary ancient land, even the Huatian Palace Palace Lords would most likely have no way of dealing with this, let alone them.

“I have an idea,” Mo Wen said. He had remained silent up until now.

“Oh, do you really have a plan?” Chu Yu looked at Mo Wen. His eyes showed that he did not dare believe Mo Wen. Even they could not come up with any ideas. What could Mo Wen do?

Wen Jiuhai also looked at Mo Wen, not knowing whether this youth was speaking the truth.

“What’s your idea?” Xiao Jinghe’s eyes lit up. Only he had confidence in Mo Wen.

“Since Nie Junxue is most likely in the Multicolor Queen’s Palace, it will be impossible to rescue her and avoid the Multicolor Queen. There’s no chance of a secret rescuing attempt working. Why don’t we just stop avoiding her and knock on her door and demand Nie Junxue’s safe return?” Mo Wen said.

This was the Multicolor Clan’s territory. As human preliminary cultivators, they were unfamiliar with this place. They were also in a situation where they were public enemy number one. No matter how thorough or perfect a plan they came up with, it would still be full of all kinds of unpredictable factors. If there was even a slight mishap, their plans would fail completely.

They might as well go straight to the source. In this world, everything was defined by their abilities.

“Go and knock on their door?” Chu Yu rolled his eyes. What plan was this? It was suicide!

Wen Jiuhai was also speechless. He had expected Mo Wen to present an actual plan. Who would have thought that he would actually utter such a dauntless sentence? If this could be pulled off, did he even need to mention it? There were only a few of them. Wouldn’t it be the same as them committing suicide?

“Are you confident?” Xiao Jinghe looked Mo Wen in the eye. His intuition told him that this youth was not someone who would fool around. Also, Mo Wen’s performance in Flame Horn City had given Xiao Jinghe a very deep impression of this youth’s ability. He trusted him.

Chu Yu and Wen Jiuhai looked at Xiao Jinghe in surprise. What was up with Madman Xiao today? Usually, if someone were to offer up such a plan, he would probably have laughed in their face. Could it be that he believed that Mo Wen could pull it off?

Chu Yu and Wen Jiuhai thought of the same question at the same time, but the answer was somewhat unbelievable.

“I’m not confident that I can defeat the Multicolor Queen. There might still be a very huge difference between me and such a strong practitioner. However, I am confident that the Multicolor Queen can’t handle me,” Mo Wen said.

To go up against such a strong practitioner like the Multicolor Queen was already a rather terrifying prospect. Even though Mo Wen had undergone many transformations, he was not confident he could defeat the Multicolor Queen. Unless he also broke through to the Primordial Soul Realm, it would be fundamentally impossible.

However, sometimes, one did not need to defeat their opponent in order to cause their opponent to fear them. He could not defeat the Multicolor Queen, but could still cause the Multicolor Queen to be unable to handle him.

“The Multicolor Queen won’t be able to handle you?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu and Wen Jiuhai rolled their eyes. Was this a joke? This Mo Wen was truly… Why did Deputy Head of Parliament Mo think so highly of such an air-headed person as him?

“Are you really confident that you can pull this off? The Multicolor Queen is the descendant of the Multicolor Xuan Ming Spider. The height of her talents and the strength of her bloodline surpasses even our own. Also, rumor has it that the current Multicolor Queen has been extraordinary since birth. Her talent is relatively close to that of her ancestor, the Multicolor Xuan Ming Spider. If she had not been suppressed by the Creation Pool, she would most likely have been able to cultivate up to the Divine Illusionary Realm and even the Path Integration Realm.”.

Xiao Jinghe looked at Mo Wen with shining eyes. The Multicolor Queen’s talent was unparalleled. Even though she had not broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm, she could kill strong practitioners of that level. If she appeared in the outside world, she would easily be able to break through to the Tide Changing Realm at any time. It would also be easy for the Multicolor Queen to kill a beginning stage Tide Changing Realm cultivator.

Mo Wen had not even broken through to the Primordial Soul Realm and yet dared to say that the Multicolor Queen would find it difficult to handle him. Not only did Chu Yu and Wen Jiuhai feel that Mo Wen was joking, even Xiao Jinghe, who had already seen what Mo Wen was capable of, also felt that it was unbelievable.

“How will we know for sure if we don’t give it a try?” Mo Wen said.

He also wanted to try and see how great the difference between him and such a strong practitioner like the Multicolor Queen was.

As for how dangerous it was, Mo Wen felt that the preliminary ancient land’s Three Great Kings did not have the ability to kill him. It was not that he was over-confident in his abilities, but rather he was confident in his own body. His Celestial Body could be said to have already surpassed that of ordinary lifeforms. Once he successfully cultivated the first stage, he no longer had a mortal human body, but a Celestial Body that contained the laws of the Heavenly Path.

Although the Multicolor Queen was extraordinary, she was ultimately suppressed by the preliminary ancient land. She probably wouldn’t be able to harm him. It would be a good challenge for him.

“Are you prepared to give it a try?” Xiao Jinghe’s expression turned sullen.

Chu Yu and Wen Jiuhai’s expressions also changed slightly. The two of them also felt that Mo Wen did not seem to be joking.

“You all continue to lay low in the city. Don’t expose your identities unless absolutely necessary. I will head out and give it a try.”

As Mo Wen said this, he was already walking out of the inn. He was confident that the Multicolor Queen could not handle him. However, Xiao Jinghe and the others could not handle her. If they went with him, they would only be a burden to him.

“Madman Xiao…”

Chu Yu and Wen Jiuhai looked at Xiao Jinghe in unison. Mo Wen was mad! Truly mad! This Mo Wen was the true madman!

“Right now, we have no other option. We can only choose to believe in him.” Xiao Jinghe sighed. Since Mo Wen dared to go, he certainly had enough confidence in himself. Xiao Jinghe only hoped that Mo Wen was not boasting. Otherwise it would become a tragedy.

However, if Mo Wen could really make it so the Multicolor Queen couldn’t handle him, then everything would be much easier.

Mo Wen slowly walked out of the inn and headed towards a bustling area some distance away in the city. After confirming that no one knew where he had emerged from, he did not hide his aura anymore. A majestic aura burst out and frenziedly expanded in all directions. At the same time, he put away his straw cape and bamboo hat, revealing his human appearance while stepping into the sky above.

Rumble!

Multicolor City was enveloped by a powerful aura. Within a radius of a hundred miles, everyone felt suppressed. They frantically looked towards the source of this uncontrollable power.

“What is that… Such a strange creature.”

“That’s a human. A human preliminary cultivator. A human preliminary cultivator has infiltrated Multicolor City. My goodness!”

“A human preliminary cultivator has openly come to Multicolor City without hiding and without retracting his aura. This is practically a provocation. So presumptuous!”

…

Mo Wen’s action riled up everyone in Multicolor City. The city had a population of tens of millions of people and at least ten million had felt the aura and frantically looked towards his direction. 99.9 percent of the preliminary ancient land’s creatures had heard of human preliminary cultivators but had never seen one before.

When someone mentioned that there was a human preliminary cultivator, all of Multicolor City became lively. People were constantly flying up unto the rooftops, towers, and sky. They were all curious and wanted to catch a glimpse of the human preliminary cultivator.
