C424 Decision

The night after Ye Daoxuan and Mu Qingyan left Phoenix Restaurant, Xuanyuan Hanxue discovered that his precious disciple had actually disappeared. He used his divine sense to search the surrounding several thousand kilometers to find any trace of Mu Qingyan.

"The competition between the various sects is going to start in a few months. Where would Qingyan go at this time?"

Xuanyuan Hanxue couldn't help but be a little puzzled. In her impression, Mu Qingyan had always listened to her own words, and she had been fully focused on cultivation for the past few months, striving to be at her best when the Martial Competition was coming. She had obediently agreed, but who would have thought that she would suddenly disappear without a trace, as if she had vanished into thin air?

Xuanyuan Hanxue was angry and surprised. She was angry because Mu Qingyan had left without informing her without permission. What was surprising was that Mu Qingyan had sneaked out of Phoenix Restaurant right under her nose.

Aside from being angry and surprised, Xuanyuan Hanxue was also a little worried. Phoenix Restaurant had many enemies in the Holy Spirit Continent, could her sudden disappearance be caused by the enemies themselves? It was not impossible for an expert to silently infiltrate Phoenix Restaurant and abduct her.

It was said that that brat was a perverted man without a single daughter. Although he said that he would only be marrying Mu Qingyan in a few months' time, it was difficult for Xuanyuan Xue to protect his perverted nature. Thus, he had taken Mu Qingyan into custody in advance and returned to Ximi Mountain.

Of course, if there really was someone who kidnapped Mu Qingyan, that person definitely wouldn't be Mo Lingfeng. Although Mo Lingfeng was Xumi Mountain's chief core disciple, he was still only at the peak of the great Danyuan stage. If he snuck into Phoenix Restaurant, he would be the first to be discovered.

Even though a peak level Great Dan Yuan Stage expert was strong, in the eyes of a peak level Void Soul Stage expert like himself, it was still not enough.

Most likely, Mo Lingfeng had persuaded his father, who was the Great Elder of Xumi Mountain, Mo Kuanglong, to abduct Mu Qingyan from Phoenix Restaurant.

Mo Kuanglong was Xumi Mountain's Great Elder. Although his status was one level lower than Xuanyuan Hanxue, in terms of strength, Xuanyuan Hanxue was actually ashamed of his own inferiority.

It was said that Mo Kuanglong had already advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage a hundred years ago, and now that a hundred years had passed, it was unknown if his strength had increased again.

Logically speaking, as an elder of a big sect, Mo Kuanglong shouldn't have done such a sneaky thing. However, almost all the warriors of the Holy Spirit Continent knew that Mo Kuanglong doted on his son, Mo Lingfeng.

If it was really Mo Kuanglong who had disregarded his status and kidnapped Mu Qingyan, then Xuanyuan Wentian would be furious but there was nothing he could do. She really wanted to bring someone to Xumi Mountain to get their person, but she knew that the consequences of doing so would likely be humiliation, and she might even be killed by the sect master of Xumi Mountain, Lei Zhan Wei.

Lei Zhan Wei's cultivation was at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, much stronger than Mo Kuanglong. Xuan Yuan, who was at the peak of the Void Soul Stage, wasn't much stronger than an ant in Lei Zhan Wei's eyes.

The news of Mu Qingyan's' disappearance 'quickly spread to the ears of all the higher-ups of Phoenix Brothel. They gathered at the tower lord hall to discuss countermeasures with Xuanyuan Hanxue. The expressions on every single one of their faces were grave and grave.

"I feel that the possibility of the Mount Xumi people infiltrating Phoenix Restaurant and abducting her face is not high …"

When Shang Jingyun thought about the conversation she had with Ye Daoxuan that day and how Mu Qingyan was going to be forcefully married by Mo Lingfeng, Ye Daoxuan was clearly a bit angry and felt that it was unfair. Her heart was suddenly moved as she looked at Xuanyuan Hanxue and asked, "OP, have you and Qingyan talked about Ye Daoxuan before?"

Xuanyuan Hateful Snow froze for a moment before nodding, "Yes."

"Then do you think that Qing Yan's attitude towards Ye Daoxuan is different from toward others?" Shang Jingyun asked again.

Xuanyuan Hanxue closed her eyes slightly as if she was trying to recall something. A moment later, she sighed softly, "I can feel that Qingyan likes Ye Daoxuan a little … Elder Shang, you mean, Qing Yan's disappearance is related to Ye Daoxuan? "

Shang Jingyun said, "I was only guessing. Although I don't know if Ye Daoxuan likes that girl Qingyan, but I'm sure he has a good impression of her. When Qingyan met someone she liked, and thought that she would be forced to marry Mo Lingfeng in a few months, she might have a rebellious mentality. So, maybe Qingyan did not go missing, but had instead left Phoenix Hall with Ye Daoxuan … "

Hearing her words, the other elders' protectors all felt that this made sense.

Xuanyuan Hanxue's heart was at first at ease but the worry on her face soon after, was even more intense as she sighed, "If I have to follow Ye Daoxuan out of Phoenix Restaurant and only go to relax, then it's not really a big deal. "I'm afraid that these two youngsters will do something they shouldn't do …"

The higher-ups of Phoenix Brothel present were all martial practitioners hundreds, if not thousands, of years old. Their life experiences could be said to be innumerable, and they naturally understood what Xuanyuan Hanxue meant by "something that should not be done". For a moment, they looked at each other in dismay, even slightly worried.

What they were worried about was not the physical relationship between Ye Daoxuan and Mu Qingyan, but rather the possible reactions of Xumi Mountain's group.

When the Mo Lingfeng father and son had come to Phoenix Restaurant to "propose", Mo Lingfeng had raved in front of Xuanyuan Hanxue. He wanted Mu Qingyan to be a virgin when she married him, otherwise Phoenix Restaurant would have to bear all the consequences.

Phoenix Restaurant's strength was gradually declining; it truly couldn't withstand Xumi Mountain's anger.

All of a sudden, the Phoenix Building's higher-ups within the Tower Lord's great hall were all imagining the terrifying consequences that might happen if Ye Daoxuan and Mu Qingyan got intimate with each other. The atmosphere became heavy and stifling, and even their breathing became ragged.

"Ye Daoxuan's mission from the Hidden Treasure Hall is to assassinate an inner disciple of the Blood Shadow Sect. As far as I know, that Blood Shadow Sect inner disciple is called Blood Shadow, and his range of movement is mainly around Stone Forest City … "

Shang Jingyun suddenly said. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled lightly and continued, "I will be leaving for Stone Forest City now. Maybe I can find Ye Daoxuan and Qingyan. I hope that before we can find the two of them, the things that we were worried about have not happened … "

"What if it has already happened?" An elder asked.

Shang Jingyun did not say a word as she turned her gaze towards Xuanyuan Hanxue.

Xuanyuan Hanxue's heart was in a war with the heavens. After a long while, her face revealed a resolute expression as she said to Shang Jingyun, "If you go to Stone Forest City and find Ye Daoxuan and Qingyan, ask them if they are already close to each other. If not, bring them back. "If there's..."

After she said that, she paused for a moment, and leaned against the back of the chair weakly, as if she had aged a lot. She raised her hand, waved it, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "If there's … Elder Shang, bring the two of them with you. Run as far as you can and run to a place where the people of Xumi Mountain cannot find you. Keep some of the seeds for our Phoenix Restaurant. Qing Yan and Ye Daoxuan are both peerless talents with boundless futures. When they are strong enough to wipe out Xumi Mountain in the future, then they can avenge us and rebuild Phoenix Restaurant … "

When she said these words, the expressions of Shang Jingyun and the others greatly changed. However, they immediately understood the painstaking efforts of Xuanyuan Hanxue and quickly regained their calm once more.

At that time, Phoenix Restaurant would have no choice but to fight for the honor. Rather than waiting for Mount Xumi's men to rush in and destroy Phoenix Restaurant, it would be better for Ye Daoxuan and Mu Qingyan, the two geniuses of the younger generation, to flee in advance. In addition to Shang Jingyun protecting them, there would still be hope for Phoenix Restaurant to rebuild one day.

Of course, if there was nothing between Ye Daoxuan and Mu Qingyan, then everything was fine. However, Mu Qingyan was about to be pushed onto the fire brick bed and her life was going to be ruined.

On one side was the possibility that Phoenix Brothel would face destruction, and on the other side was the possibility that Phoenix Brothel would be safe after the sacrifice of one person.

Two evils, take the light.
