Chapter 297: Chapter 297 The Overbearing Zi Xiao (5)_1

"Is that so? I never expected my name and experiences to be so similar to yours, Mom!" Mo Qiuhua said.

"Are you hiding out like this to keep the Mo Family from finding you? Now that the Mo Family and Nangong Family have made peace, do you still need to hide?" Hao Pengyou asked.

Mo Qiuhua brushed a lock of hair from her forehead and said, "I have no desire to go back to that family! Even if the Nangong Family has said they won’t pursue my marriage anymore, if I go back, those old fogeys in the family will definitely force Zhou Ge and me apart. Besides, living in a small village like this, this is really the life I want."

Hao Pengyou showed no reaction. Is that really a good thing?

"You love fool, you won’t understand the taste of this," Dugu Qianye said contemptuously as she glanced at Hao Pengyou.

"Sis, what’s your next step? Where are you planning to go?" Mo Qiuhua asked.

"I want to go to Songgu City. I’m going to check out the situation with the Feng Family there," Dugu Qianye said.

"What happened?" Mo Qiuhua asked.

Dugu Qianye briefly shared the situation of the Xuanyue Continent with Mo Qiuhua, telling her that she was here to rescue someone.

"A matter like this is definitely the doing of a branch family. But the Feng Family has so many branches, it’s just not known where exactly. Soon it will be the Feng Family’s clan meeting, which happens once every five years. You could go there to gather some information."

"I think so too, but I plan to go check out the Feng Family in Songgu City first. If there’s no information, then I’ll head to their main base," Dugu Qianye said.

"If that’s the case, you’ll need to be careful when you go. After all, the Divine Temple’s Divine Guard Team has just been slaughtered, and it would be dangerous if the Divine Temple’s people knew you were there," Mo Qiuhua said.

Dugu Qianye nodded. Better to avoid unnecessary trouble; with the current situation, it’s best not to confront the Divine Temple for the time being.

While they were talking, Zhou Hai had already packed up everything. Then everyone split up and left the small courtyard. Dugu Qianye and her companions headed for Songgu City, while Zhou Hai and his group picked a random direction.

Songgu City, true to its name, was very quaint, with an aura of ancient timelessness everywhere.

Upon arriving in Songgu City, the trio of Dugu Qianye casually checked into an inn. In such a remote small city, there were no high-end, luxurious hotels.

After securing three rooms, Dugu Qianye and her companions were about to head upstairs to rest when they came down for dinner and found everyone was discussing the crippling of Song Wuzi and the extermination of the Divine Guard Team.

Everyone was well aware of the Divine Temple’s actions, especially the countless wrongdoings committed by Song Wuzi and his followers! Now, hearing that someone had crippled and killed them, they were all secretly delighted. Yet in this place, no one dared to speak out plainly, only hinting at it in conversations with acquaintances.

When Dugu Qianye and her company came down, the people in the inn quieted down. When did such a refined person come to town? And to bring such a beauty!

"Wow, I’ve seen a fairy!" someone said dreamily.

Coming to their senses, the person next to them slapped their shoulder and said, "There you go, mooning over someone again. Be careful, or you’ll end up wasted like that guy!"

Dugu Qianye and her companions ignored the stares; they were all people of influence and had long stopped caring about such minor scenarios. But coming down for a meal was also a way to listen in on some information.

Fortunately, after discussing the matters of the Divine Temple for a while, those people turned their heads to talk about the Feng Family. The most discussed topic was how the main branch of the Feng Family was going to hold a family convention, and something had happened again with the branches. They also mentioned the news that the Feng Family had been spreading lately.

"Have you heard? The Feng Family announced two months ago that their branch in Wulai City on the Xuanyue Continent abducted a group of people, and they demanded someone named Dugu Qianye to come and exchange for them. If she doesn’t arrive before the family convention starts, all the captured people will be killed!"

"Dugu Qianye? Are the captured people from the Dugu Clan?"

"Who knows, what kind of family power could there be from such a lower plane? Coming up against the Feng Family, that Dugu Qianye is in for a rough time."

"Exactly, and falling into the hands of the branch in Wulai City at that. Even if they don’t die, they’ll be losing a lot of skin!"

Hearing their conversation, Dugu Qianye walked over, took a seat, and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, I’ve always been cultivating in the mountains and haven’t had much exposure to the outside world. What’s this Feng Family you’re talking about? Why is it that the fate of those who end up in Wulai City is so tragic?"

The three men who were talking saw Dugu Qianye and suddenly lost their souls, saying, "The Feng Family is a second-tier family. It’s said that the patriarch of the main branch recently even broke through to the Primary Level of Divine Venerable! And that Feng Family in Wulai City, is the most cunning and ruthless among all the branches. Those people who fell into their hands, who knows if they can wait for someone to rescue them!"

Dugu Qianye felt a surge in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged, she smiled again and asked, "So what’s this Feng Family convention about?"

"For families like Feng Family, from time to time, they gather representatives from all branches to go back to the main family for a meeting to report on their own situation, and also for the ranking competitions. Each convention determines the status of each branch for the next five years."

"From what you’re saying, is there another convention for the branches this year?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"Yes, it’s in October this year; there’s only one month left now."

Dugu Qianye thanked them with a smile and then returned to her seat.

"It should be with the Feng Family branch in Wulai City. There’s only one month left till the final deadline." Dugu Qianye recapped the information she had gleaned after returning.

"Then let’s go to Wulai City tomorrow," Hao Pengyou said.

"Okay," Dugu Qianye nodded.

Afterward, everyone went upstairs to cultivate.

Dugu Qianye could feel that the spiritual energy here was even denser than on the Spirit Void Continent. She sat on the bed, sensing that she was on the brink of a breakthrough, but still lacking something. She had felt the barrier loosening when she made the contract with Lan Yue, and subsequently gained some power from becoming the master recognized by the Dark Clan. Considering her limited time and the need for more strength to save others, she flashed into the Refining Demon Pot.

"Master, why have you come?" Dudu appeared in Dugu Qianye’s arms as she flashed in and asked.

"Dudu, I feel like I’m about to have a breakthrough, but I’m still lacking a little. I want to close off and give it a try. If I haven’t made a breakthrough by tomorrow morning, then wake me up," Dugu Qianye said.

"Don’t worry, Master, I can now speed up time even faster, to ensure you’ll have your breakthrough tonight," Dudu said.

"Great. You make the arrangements," Dugu Qianye replied and went into her room to start cultivating.

In Zi Xiao’s room, after Dugu Qianye disappeared, he opened his eyes. After waiting for a while and seeing that she hadn’t returned, he quietly went to her room.
