Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Chapter Ch404 - City of Twin Moons (4)

Edited by: Molly

“Yuyang Gege, think on the bright side. Maybe, when we all become Earth Realm powerhouses, this illusion will no longer be able to trap us.” Yan Tianhen said optimistically.

Huangfu Jin remarked, “Your ambition is not small.”

Yan Tianhen replied, “A man must be a little ambitious.”

“Pfft–” Wan Yitong almost choked. He smiled and said, “Ah Hen actually said that he is a man. How old are you?”

Yan Tianhen was a little unhappy. “I will be fifteen years old after the New Year. Now I’m fourteen.”

Wan Yitong was stunned. “You’re so big already?”

Lin Xuanzhi was also surprised. He couldn’t help staring at Yan Tianhen for a while longer.

Even though he was with Yan Tianhen every day, Lin Xuanzhi didn’t realize that Ah Hen had grown so much. Even the outline of his face had changed.

Lin Xuanzhi stood up. “Come, Ah Hen, compare heights with Dage.”

Yan Tianhen stood beside Lin Xuanzhi and held his head high as he puffed out his chest.

“Up to your shoulder.” Duan Yuyang clicked his tongue. “Indeed, he’s grown taller. In my memory, Ah Hen could only reach your chest. In a flash, more than a year had passed.”

Yan Tianhen was a little disappointed. “Only this tall ah.”

Lin Xuanzhi rubbed his head. “You will grow taller. You are only fourteen years old. What’s the hurry?”

“That’s true.”

Everyone found joy in sorrow, and the days passed by quickly.

However, they hadn’t made much progress in other aspects apart from cultivation. The civilians here were always talking about the Little City Lord’s birthday, the inns were always full, and the gates of the City Lord’s mansion never opened for them — no matter who Lin Xuanzhi claimed to be.

One day in the second month, Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen met an unexpected person on the streets.

“Ren Fuyao?” Lin Xuanzhi recognized Ren Fuyao.

Ren Fuyao showed a touch of astonishment. He looked around. “You guys actually found this place?”

Yan Tianhen sneered, “Why, are you disappointed that we didn’t die?”

Ren Fuyao shook his head with some guilt. “Sorry, I can’t control Mo Yan’s actions either.”

Lin Xuanzhi asked, “Where are Mo Yan and the others now?”

Ren Fuyao answered with a bitter smile, “Not long after Mo Yan came, he thought about breaking into the City Lord’s mansion by force, but he was arrested by the troops in the mansion. I tried every means to go to the prison to see him but wasn’t successful at all. I couldn’t leave this Twin Moons City, so I had to look for information on the streets every day to see if I can make any progress.”

When he heard that Mo Yan had been arrested by City Lord Yin, Yan Tianhen couldn’t help feeling like this was to everyone’s satisfaction. He laughed for a while. “This Mo Yan is really arrogant. He doesn’t know that there will always be someone better. This time, he ran into a hard nail. I’d like to see if he still dares to be so arrogant in the future!”

Ren Fuyao also knew that Mo Yan had a bad personality and even offended Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Lin Xuanzhi asked, “How long have you all been here?”

Ren Fuyao replied, “It’s been more than a month.”

Lin Xuanzhi then inquired, “Have you guys ever visited the City Lord’s mansion?”

Ren Fuyao nodded. “Of course we did. However, for some reason, the City Lord recognized me as someone else and insisted that I had come to seize the treasure. He even greeted me with swords. I never went there again.”

It was enough to experience the feeling of being shot at by hundreds of soldiers just once; there was no need for a second time.

Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen exchanged glances with each other. They couldn’t help but feel lucky at the same time — fortunately, they had been polite ever since they entered the city, and there wasn’t anyone in the group who liked to stir things up. Otherwise, they likely wouldn’t be able to make any progress after that.

Ren Fuyao looked at Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen. “When did you all come here? Did you find a way to leave?”

Yan Tianhen curled his lips. “If we could leave, we would have left long ago. Why would we still wait here?”

Lin Xuanzhi asked, “Young Sect Master Ren, where are you living recently?”

Ren Fuyao’s face showed faint embarrassment. “The inns here only accept spirit stones. Where would I get spirit stones to give them? I could only find an open space in the city’s outskirts and set up camp. Where do you guys live?”

Yan Tianhen said, “We found a pavilion in the city and rest there every day.”

Since everyone’s treatment was similar, no one laughed at anyone.

Ren Fuyao pondered for a moment and proposed, “Since we are all trapped here, why don’t we work together and exchange useful information? Perhaps we can leave here as soon as possible.”

Lin Xuanzhi asked, “Young Sect Master Ren, how many subordinates do you have there?”

Ren Fuyao answered, “Except for three of my subordinates who died in the arrest at the City Lord’s mansion and Mo Yan, who is being held in prison, the remaining 21 people are available.”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “Why don’t Young Sect Master Ren come with us? Let’s sit together and talk about our recent gains.”

Naturally, Ren Fuyao was extremely happy with this. After all, he was only one person, and more than half of the other 21 subordinates were Mo Yan’s people. Moreover, not only did those people not listen to his command, but they also urged him to rescue Mo Yan every day. Who knows how many strange things there are in this city, and whenever that City Lord with a bad temper saw them, he would order his troops to take their formations in order to bring Ren Fuyao’s group to justice. Ren Fuyao was not an idiot. Why would he go and court death?

What’s more, along the way here, Ren Fuyao didn’t like Mo Yan’s behavior at all, but because his cultivation wasn’t as good as Mo Yan’s, he had no right to speak. Now that Mo Yan had been caught, Ren Fuyao hadn’t even finished rejoicing in secret, so how could he even think about saving Mo Yan?

Therefore, Ren Fuyao made a prompt decision and immediately followed Lin Xuanzhi to their lodgings.

The several people present didn’t have a good expression when they saw Ren Fuyao.

If it weren’t for their great fortune, they would have become vengeful ghosts underneath a cliff a long time ago.

Huangfu Jin sneered first, “Young Sect Master Ren, it’s truly a small world. Xuanzhi really has a good temper; he actually didn’t tie you up.”

Leng Jixue looked at Ren Fuyao and sighed in the end.

In their hearts, how could they not have complaints about Ren Fuyao? Even if Ren Fuyao was helpless and didn’t have a choice, back then, he did indeed stand on Mo Yan’s side.

Ji Yunwei also couldn’t help mocking, “Young Sect Master Ren, it can’t be that something happened to Mo Yan, so you decided to settle for the next best thing and turn to us, right?”

Lin Xuanzhi, “...”

You can even guess this?

When had Ren Fuyao ever fallen into such a situation before? He couldn’t help but feel his face burning. “I’m sorry, everyone. Last time was indeed my fault. I can’t ask everyone to let bygones be bygones. It’s just that I cannot make up for it given the current situation.”

“It’s impossible if you want me to cooperate with that Mo Yan.” Huangfu Jin had a firm attitude.

“If Mo Yan was still here, I wouldn’t have this opportunity to cooperate with you either.” Ren Fuyao couldn’t help but smile wryly. “Mo Yan has already been captured in the city’s prison. I’m afraid he won’t be able to come out anytime soon.”

Ji Yunwei showed an epiphany. “I actually guessed right.”

Ren Fuyao, “...”

Duan Yuyang laughed happily, very relieved. “Persisting in evil brings about self-destruction. Mo Yan deserves it!”

Yuan Tianwen looked at Duan Yuyang and smiled indulgently.

Although some of these people still rejected Ren Fuyao, when all was said and done, those things were caused by Mo Yan. Furthermore, they were all unscathed right now. In addition, the information Ren Fuyao had was indeed more than their own. Thus, after saying some more mocking words to vent their anger, they just forgot about the past wrongs. Speaking of which, although Ren Fuyao had gained no information ever since his group entered this Twin Moons City because Mo Yan courted death, what Lin Xuanzhi wanted to know from him were the events that occurred before entering the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest.

“Young Sect Master Ren, I really want to know right now, what is your goal in coming to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest this time?” Lin Xuanzhi didn’t beat around the bush but asked directly.

Ren Fuyao sighed. “If you had asked me this question before, I would not have spoken, but now.....To tell you the truth, it was my grandfather who asked me to come to the far west of the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest with Mo Yan. In name, it was to find out what was wrong with the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest, but in reality, it was for us to come here and find a magic treasure, which is a kind of spiritual Qi-gathering magic treasure.”

After that, Ren Fuyao looked up at the faces of Lin Xuanzhi and others. He paused before commenting, “You guys are not surprised at all. Is it possible that all of you also know...”

He knew the answer just by looking at their expressions. Ren Fuyao frowned. “But where did you all learn about this?”

Yan Tianhen blinked. “We heard about it by accident. Do you know that reclusive Liu family in the West Continent? It’s the master of the Liu family who told us.”

The others nodded in unison.

In any case, Master Liu is not here, so he can take all the blame.

Hearing this, Ren Fuyao nodded. “If the information came from him, that would be normal. After all, the Liu family is also a reclusive family who came down from the Nine Lands.”

“However, Master Liu may not necessarily be able to casually guess this kind of information that has been sealed away for many years.” Lin Xuanzhi brought up.

Ren Fuyao smiled. “Young Master Lin, are you not speaking like a layman? Reclusive families are the Nine Lands’ emissaries. They naturally have a way to contact the Upper Realm. The Upper Realm contains countless secrets. There must be people who know about the secret of a trifling Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest.”

Lin Xuanzhi heard something strange. “I don’t know if Young Sect Master Ren has heard about this, but the Five Continents have already been enshrouded in a barrier. Over the years, all the cultivators who tried to ascend have died. No one can leave.”

Ren Fuyao couldn’t help sighing in his heart. Lin Xuanzhi even knew the details about this matter. It seemed that he still underestimated Lin Xuanzhi too much.

“The people inside can’t leave, but the people outside can enter.” Ren Fuyao narrowed his eyes. “The Liu and Jian families have never had much contact with the outside world, so I don’t know if there are visitors from the Nine Lands on their side, but my grandfather learned this information from a newcomer from the Nine Lands.”

Since the Nine Lands newcomer had an Earth Realm cultivation, originally, when he entered the Five Continents, he forcibly suppressed his cultivation to the peak of Profound Realm, so it was impossible for him to enter the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest. Ren Bulin was also unwilling to leave the sect, so he sent Ren Fuyao, who had always been the most convenient to use, to come here in search of the treasure together with Mo Yan. However, Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen’s focus was on the newcomer from the Nine Lands.
