649 Coming From All Corners

Just as a battle was imminent, a white-dressed woman fluttered down from Eight Immortals Restaurant. She frowned slightly and lightly shouted, "Yun Cong, why are you stirring trouble at my place?"

"Aunt." The Third Prince immediately bowed humbly. "I was being rash. Please don't take it to heart."

"So what if I take it to heart? Would you, the high and mighty Third Prince, care?" said the white-dressed woman coldly.

"Aunt, you must be joking. I'll visit you personally tomorrow and offer you reparations," said Third Prince as he shot a glance at his subordinates beside him. They immediately left Eight Immortals Restaurant.

The moment he was out of Eight Immortals Restaurant, Third Prince's expression turned cold.

"Investigate who that woman is, as well as her master!" Third Prince instructed. "To dare act so arrogantly in front of me, they had better have the strength or background to back it up. If not, they will know the price of offending me."

"Yes," replied the blue-robed elder respectfully.

…

Inside Eight Immortals Restaurant, Qing Shuang secretly sent Qin Yun a voice transmission. "Master, this woman is the owner of Eight Immortals Restaurant. She's also Princess Wei Ran of the royal family. She is a disciple of Fairy He Xiangu of the Eight Immortals. However, now that the Wei Nation serves the Black Wind Fiend Sect… This Princess Wei Ran has found herself quite isolated among the royal family. However, she has a backer and she's a fifth firmament Skyimmortal. Even if she has been ostracized, no one wishes to offend her."

"Oh?" Qin Yun was enlightened. He looked at Princess Wei Ran and secretly nodded. "She has a Merit Glow; that's not bad."

Among the three Daoist lineages, two of the lineages were very strict on their disciples! It was normal for Princess Wei Ran to have Merit Glow protecting her. Instead, it was Qin Yun's Green Touring Palace who had both the good and bad mixed in it.

"I apologize on his behalf for a conflict between juniors," said the white-dressed woman politely. "Fellow Daoists, if you don't mind, you can come up with me and allow me to play a good host. The both of you can also have a taste of my Eight Immortals Restaurant's culinary skills."

"Haha, it's fine as long as there's good food and drink." Qin Yun got up with a laugh. Qing Shuang followed beside him.

Qin Yun still intended to take certain actions in the Wei Nation's capital.

By doing so, he could attract the attention of the fiends!

Of course, if the fiends did not discover his identity, he could always wait till the next time!

******

Wei Nation's capital. Royal Palace.

The sovereign was slumped in his throne as he watched dancers parading themselves in the hall beneath him. As he drank alcohol, he watched expressionlessly. The dancing maidens were all extremely nervous and did not dare slack off in any way. Everyone knew how tyrannical the sovereign who was sitting high above them was! He was a true devil that could wipe them out if they accidentally crossed him.

"Your Majesty." A voice sounded as a red-robed bald Daoist walked in with big strides.

"Supremacy." The guards in the hall were extremely reverent. The Daoist's standing in the royal palace was extremely high, with him only second to the sovereign.

"Uncle-Master." With a wine cup in one hand, the sovereign immediately stood up. He walked down the throne with a smile and waved his hand. Immediately, the dancing maidens, the accompaniment musicians, maidservants, and guards retreated, leaving only the sovereign and the Supremacy in the hall.

"Your Majesty, haven't you always been wanting to capture that nine-tailed fox?" said the red-robed Daoist with a chuckle.

"Uncle-Master, do you have good news?" The sovereign's eyes lit up.

"Yes. I saw through her identity the last time she infiltrated the palace. I was also careless and thought too little of her, which resulted in the escape of that little fox," said the Daoist. "However, I had left a mystic-arts seal on her body while she was escaping. As long as she's within 5000 kilometers of me, I can sense her. Just today, I sensed her location and have determined that she's in the capital. Furthermore, she's at Princess Wei Ran's Eight Immortals Restaurant."

"In the capital and at Eight Immortals Restaurant?" The sovereign turned extremely excited. "Good, good, good. That little demoness sure is bold. She believes that as long as she avoids you, no one will be able to see through her. She probably never expected for you to have left a contingency on her. She has invited herself into a trap!"

"Your Majesty, the nine-tailed fox's life-preservation means are rather formidable," said the Daoist. "Upon our capture of her, we must seal the capital and the void. We must not let the little fox escape again."

"Rest assured!"

The sovereign laughed and said, "We will be prepared. That little fox will not be able to escape."

With that said, he clapped.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Three figures appeared in the hall from within the void. They looked at the sovereign and bowed slightly before straightening their backs. They had a unique standing in the Wei Nation. They only obeyed the sovereign and the sovereign thought highly of them.

"Elders, the nine-tailed fox who attempted an assassination on me previously has infiltrated the capital again. She's at Eight Immortals Restaurant. I would like to request that the three of you capture her and allow me to question her personally. Also… that nine-tailed fox has rather formidable life-preservation means. Make sure to seal the capital at the moment you take action," instructed the sovereign.

"Yes, we will return shortly," said an Elder coldly.

"Make sure she's captured alive," exhorted the sovereign again.

"Your Majesty, rest assured," the three Elders replied sulkily.

Following that, they vanished from the hall.

To them, capturing an early-stage Skyimmortal fox immortal was nothing worth mentioning. Yet, the sovereign had sent all three of them. He even wanted her captured alive? How could the three of them not understand what was on his mind?

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The red-robed Daoist said with a smile. "I can tell that the nine-tailed fox is a virgin."

"Hahaha… Thanks to you, Uncle-Master. If not, I wouldn't have know that she had infiltrated the capital." The sovereign roared with laughter as his eyes filled with anticipation.

Soon. Soon.

That little demoness would be in his hand!

…

The streets outside Eight Immortals Restaurant were packed with people.

Beside a street stall was a linen-clothed elder eating soya beancurd. As he ate, he shot a glance at the Eight Immortals Restaurant nearby.

Inside the elder's Essence Soul hid a power. It was Patriarch Mental Demon's avatar!

"I have come personally to investigate.

"Let's see if Daoist Feng is Qin Yun or not!" Patriarch Mental Demon's avatar secretly spied.

"Qin Yun is a pinnacle mighty figure after all. Sending other subordinates to spy on him will definitely be detected by him. It would easily alert him. And if I were to do it myself… with the mystical charms of my Mental Demon lineage, it's impossible for pinnacle mighty figures to sense me. Perhaps only perfected Great Dao experts can faintly sense me. Furthermore, even if they sense something, they will not be able to find me."

Patriarch Mental Demon was very confident.

His spying was not obstructed by the Eight Immortals Restaurant's array formation or building.

"That is Eight Immortals Restaurant's owner, Princess Wei Ran. Beside her is the nine-tailed fox. As for Daoist Feng…" Patriarch Mental Demon also saw Qin Yun drinking and eating freely.

Every major suspect would have Patriarch Mental Demon's avatar personally examine them. This was a standard practice. He had many suspected targets and Daoist Feng was only one of them.

However, when he looked at Qin Yun—

"I actually can't see through him?"

Patriarch Mental Demon could not help but feel a jolt!

…

Qin Yun was enjoying himself greatly by eating all sorts of delicacies and drinking fine wine in the best VIP room of the Eight Immortals Restaurant.

Although he appeared to be eating and drinking, he was well aware of everything that was happening in the capital.

"Doesn't the Black Wind Fiend Sect feel the pinch? It actually sent a late-stage Skyfiend to the Wei Nation to preside over it." Qin Yun could tell that the Supremacy was a late-stage Skyfiend and had a high standing in the Black Wind Fiend Sect. The sect was established by a mighty figure and there were three half-step mighty figures in the sect. They also had about ten plus late-stage Skyimmortals, making them a very powerful sect in the Huifeng Great World.

As for the Daoist and Buddhist sects in Great Worlds, they usually sent two or three late-stage Skyimmortals to manage them. They typically had greater influence than the Black Wind Fiend Sect since if diplomacy failed, a Golden Immortal or Buddha might suddenly descend!

The Black Wind Fiend Sect's backer was relatively weaker, so it paid more attention into spreading its claws in the region it ruled over.

"This Wei Nation's sovereign has even sent three experts to capture Qing Shuang?" Qin Yun chuckled inwardly.

"Oh?"

Suddenly, he felt like he was being spied upon.

"Someone is spying on me. Even with my perfected Great Dao realm, I can't detect him." Qin Yun was secretly alarmed. "I can only barely sense the spying."

Following that was joy and excitement.

"The fiends have finally discovered me?"
