Chapter 616: Chapter 51: Journey to the Great Hunt Grounds (2 Updates)

"Miss Sang, this is your Earth Emperor Pill. Miss Sang?"

In Wuyin Mansion, the steward of Wanxiang Building held a medicine box and called out to Sang Xuewu, but received no response.

He looked at the first beauty of the West Continent with surprise, only to find her in a stupor, seemingly pondering, yet absent-minded, as if preoccupied with something.

He had no choice but to clear his throat again and say, "Miss Sang, this Earth Emperor Pill was delivered by the buyer who won the West Continent map as agreed. Our Wanxiang Building has already verified it, confirming it is indeed the Earth Emperor Pill without doubt."

He handed the medicine box in front of Sang Xuewu.

Finally, Sang Xuewu had a reaction. She reached out to take the Earth Emperor Pill handed to her and stored it into her Sumeru Bracelet without looking at it, "Thank you."

The steward of Wanxiang Building reminded in surprise, "Miss Sang, aren’t you going to check it?"

Sang Xuewu smiled faintly, "I trust the character of Wanxiang Building."

The steward nodded with a proud smile, standing tall and said, "Miss Sang, rest assured, this Earth Emperor Pill is of the rare perfect quality, entirely without flaw."

"Perfect quality!" Sang Xuewu’s eyes showed slight surprise.

Though she wasn’t skilled in alchemy, she knew that perfect quality was extremely rare among the grades of elixirs.

The steward nodded and asked, "Miss Sang, is there anything else you need?"

Sang Xuewu thought for a moment, raised her hand before the steward, and lines of characters formed by spiritual power appeared before his eyes. "Kindly, could Wanxiang Building provide these medicinal materials?"

The steward examined them closely. After the characters disappeared, he frowned and said, "These medicinal materials are all related to prolonging life." He looked towards Sang Xuewu, but she offered no explanation.

After a moment, he said, "We have some, but not all of these materials at Wanxiang Building. If Miss Sang urgently needs them, you could take a trip to the Flowing Guest Clan."

"Thank you. Would you kindly prepare two sets of the materials that you have in stock?" Sang Xuewu said.

The steward hesitantly said, "Miss Sang, these materials are quite valuable, and you want two sets of each, this..."

The steward’s concern made Sang Xuewu press her lips and immediately say, "You don’t have to worry, the Sang Family has been cooperating with Wanxiang Building for a long time. If my spirit stones are insufficient, you can deduct from the commission due to the Sang Family."

The steward of Wanxiang Building awkwardly smiled and agreed, "Yes, yes." However, he hesitated again and said, "Miss Sang, but can you make decisions regarding the Sang Family’s silver?"

Sang Xuewu’s face darkened, "Don’t worry, if anything goes wrong, I’ll take full responsibility."

Seeing her determination, the steward of Wanxiang Building said no more.

Sang Xuewu said to him, "If there are no issues, then please prepare the medicinal materials I need."

"Miss Sang, please wait a moment." The steward bowed and left, leaving Sang Xuewu alone.

Alone, Sang Xuewu’s expression again fell into that contemplative state, her heart unresolved.

...

Leaving Wanxiang Building, Sang Xuewu headed directly towards the Flowing Guest Clan.

On the way, her gaze constantly searched among the crowd, but she didn’t ’coincidentally meet’ the person she was longing to see.

’Mu Qingge, are you really the Mu Qingge I think you are?’ Sang Xuewu repeatedly questioned in her heart, but she couldn’t find the answer.

Sang Xuewu entered the hall of the Flowing Guest Clan, but the place was unexpectedly empty.

She walked to the service window and asked, "Why is there no one here?"

An attendant in the Flowing Guest Clan raised his head and was momentarily dazzled upon seeing Sang Xuewu. Only then did he ask, "Are you here to post a task or something?"

"I’m looking for medicinal materials, but why is there no one today?" Sang Xuewu asked strangely.

"Oh, most teams have gone to participate in the grand hunt. Miss, if you’re looking for medicinal materials urgently, you might want to try your luck at the grand hunt." The attendant suggested.

"Is the grand hunt about to begin? I recall it hasn’t been long since the last Flowing Guest Grand Hunt ended." Sang Xuewu questioned with some confusion.

The attendant explained, "Oh, this time it’s held early because a powerful dark horse emerged in our Flowing Guest Clan, rising from an unranked team to a Heavenly Level team within half a year. This grand hunt is arranged for them, it’s also their first battle since reaching the Heavenly Level, attracting many spectators out of curiosity."

"A new Heavenly Level Flowing Guest team? Doesn’t that mean the current Heavenly Level teams have reached four?" Sang Xuewu asked in surprise. Though she wasn’t one of the Floating Guests, she understood how difficult it was for teams to progress, especially within half a year from unranked to Heavenly Level.

The attendant proudly replied, "Indeed, there are now four Heavenly Level teams, namely Xuan Yue, Bailian, Giant Spirit, and the most popular Dragon Teeth which has repeatedly created legends in the Flowing Guest Realm, breaking promotion records."

"Dragon Teeth!" Sang Xuewu repeated the name.

The attendant seemed to have found an outlet, continuing to introduce, "Speaking of Dragon Teeth, they’re now known throughout the Flowing Guest Realm. Though they only have five hundred members, their teamwork is exceptionally high. Their task completion rate is even one hundred percent, disciplined and upright. Miss, you wouldn’t believe how many people flock to them in hopes of recruitment, leaving disappointed, and how many offer high pay hoping to hire Dragon Tooth Guards, only to have their hopes dashed."

"Why?" Sang Xuewu was somewhat shocked.

The attendant shook his head with pride, saying, "That’s because Dragon Teeth doesn’t recruit externally, neither do they take on temporary members. It’s said that even strong individuals from the Gray Realm’s Second and Third Layer were expelled when trying to join. Tsk tsk, in the Flowing Guest Realm, only Dragon Teeth have such guts. When accepting tasks, they are selective. If they think it’s unsuitable, they won’t take the money, nor will they do it."

"In this way, they only choose tasks they can complete, naturally achieving a one hundred percent success rate." Sang Xuewu frowned and said.

"You’re mistaken," the attendant, seemingly a fan of Dragon Teeth, immediately explained upon hearing Sang Xuewu’s doubts, "Dragon Teeth accepts tasks based not on difficulty but on their mood or preference. Many tasks rejected by them are very easy, while most tasks they accept are high-difficulty, some even unsolved for years."

"According to what you said, aren’t Dragon Teeth likely to be isolated due to acting differently?" Sang Xuewu asked.

The attendant nodded in agreement and sighed, "Yes! Though Dragon Teeth are arrogant, doing things their way, they certainly have skill. Still, they’re disliked by many, and quite a few conspire to embarrass Dragon Teeth in this grand hunt. So this grand hunt might be the most exciting yet, if I weren’t on duty, I’d have gone to watch."

After hearing his words, Sang Xuewu said a ’thank you’ and turned to leave.

The attendant of the Flowing Guest Clan didn’t expect her to leave so abruptly and called out, "Hey, are you going to post your task or not?"

"No need." Sang Xuewu’s voice drifted from outside.

She exited the Flowing Guest Clan and stood on the street, scanning the surrounding crowd. She couldn’t linger in Wuyin Mansion and had to rush to the grand hunt’s location, striving to collect all the needed medicinal materials this time.

Search after search, disappointment followed.

Eventually, Sang Xuewu’s eyes dimmed slightly with regret in her heart: ’If you are really the person I think you are, we will surely meet again!’

With resolution in her heart, Sang Xuewu headed towards the city’s teleportation array.

Not long after she left, Mu Qingge walked alone into the Flowing Guest Clan and entered the hall.

The attendant who had greeted Sang Xuewu paused and lost himself again upon seeing Mu Qingge. He hadn’t expected to encounter two individuals of outstanding appearance, as beautiful as celestial beings, in a single day.

The white-clad fairy just now had already left him unforgettable. Now another scarlet-clad gentleman entered, refreshing his aesthetic sense, momentarily making him forget his own presence.

"Why are there so few people?" Mu Qingge asked the same question as Sang Xuewu upon entering the Flowing Guest Clan hall.

Mu Qingge’s gaze swept around and landed on the attendant frozen in place. She walked over and tapped on the high table.

The crisp tapping sound woke the attendant from his awe.

He snapped back to reality and stammered, "What... what commands do you have, sir?"

"Why is it so empty?" Mu Qingge was here to gather news about the Dragon Tooth Guards, puzzled by the current situation.

What place or Flowing Guest Clan wasn’t packed with people? Such emptiness here seemed like the Flowing Guest Clan might be closing down.

Despite repeating himself, the attendant had no impatience, for the scarlet-clad ’lord’ before him was truly pleasing, wishing to elongate the conversation just for more visual delight.

Thus, he essentially repeated the explanation he had given to Sang Xuewu to Mu Qingge.

His tone still continued to praise the Dragon Tooth Guards.

Mu Qingge hadn’t expected that the emptiness in the Flowing Guest Clan was related to the Dragon Tooth Guards, and as she listened, her eyebrows arched in surprise.

When the receptionist, brimming with excitement, finished speaking, she asked, "What is the Grand Hunt?"

Uh...

The receptionist of the Floating Guest clan paused in shock, looking at Mu Qingge with disbelief, as if he couldn’t understand how such an oblivious question could come from her mouth.

The disdain in his gaze made Mu Qingge twitch the corner of her mouth and ask, "What? Do I have to know?"

"No, no, no..." the receptionist snapped back to reality and hastily denied, complimenting mentally, ’You’re so good-looking, whatever you do is right!’

"It’s not a problem that the Young Master doesn’t know. Let me explain it to you." The receptionist proceeded to explain to Mu Qingge, "The Grand Hunt is a large event among the Floating Guests. Generally, it’s held every five years. But this time, because of the appearance of Dragon Teeth, it’s been brought forward by two years. Each Grand Hunt takes place at the same location, which is at the intersection of the West Continent, Northern Continent, and Central Continent, at the Sunset Grassland and Canglan Mountain Range. The Grand Hunt lasts for a month. During this month, all Floating Guest teams are competitors; everyone can collect medicinal materials, ores, and hunt Spirit Beasts in the Sunset Grassland and Canglan Mountain Range. In short, they can participate in all activities. In the end, the top three teams will be determined based on their harvests. The teams that become the top three will receive the honor badge of the Floating Guest clan, cementing their status in the Flowing Guest Realm."

Mu Qingge understood that this Grand Hunt could be seen as the Dragon Tooth Guards truly entering the ruling echelon of the Flowing Guest Realm.

Their performance, good or bad, directly affects their influence in the Flowing Guest Realm.

Such a rare grand event is one she apparently shouldn’t and cannot miss!

Mu Qingge slightly squinted her eyes, already making plans in her heart.

The receptionist continued enthusiastically, "Moreover, during each Grand Hunt, many clans come to watch. They sign long-term cooperation agreements with some teams they favor. Once an agreement is signed, it means those Floating Guest teams will henceforth be linked to some clan forces, and for a long time, they won’t have to worry about funding for their team."

In the depiction by the receptionist of the Floating Guest clan, Mu Qingge had already envisioned a very grand scene.

With light in her eyes, she said to the receptionist with a face full of longing, "Thank you for informing me. However, I still want to know, if I want to go to the Grand Hunt location, how should I go?"

The receptionist replied clearly, "Just take the teleportation array to Liuhuo City, then it’s less than a thousand miles to reach the Sunset Grassland. The Grand Hunt will start in less than ten days, and many people are already gathering there to stake their claim. If the Young Master wants to join in on the fun, you must hurry. These days, tickets for the teleportation array to Liuhuo City are quite scarce; without two or three days, it’s difficult to buy one."

Mu Qingge smiled slightly, taking out a gold ingot and placing it on the receptionist’s tall table, then turned and left the Floating Guest clan.

"Tsk tsk, not only is the person so handsome, but also so generous, rare, very rare!" After Mu Qingge left, the receptionist picked up the gold ingot, weighed it in his hand, and praised.

After leaving the Floating Guest clan, Mu Qingge looked toward the Divine Hall.

She came to Wuyin Mansion just to look for information on the Sang Family in the Divine Hall’s archives. However, she accidentally met Sang Xuewu, a prodigy of the younger generation of the Sang Family.

Moreover, she learned that the Sang Family was right in Wuyin Mansion, so her goal was basically accomplished.

She had many chances to ask Sang Xuewu privately about her mother’s whereabouts. However, each time the question was about to leave her mouth, she abandoned the idea.

The answers she once urgently wanted were now close at hand, yet Mu Qingge felt she wasn’t as eager anymore.

Retracting her gaze, Mu Qingge walked towards her temporary residence.

Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared beside her, and Yuanyuan appeared next to her.

"What did you do with those three people?" Mu Qingge was not surprised by Yuanyuan’s appearance, instead asking directly.

"I gave them a good beating and threw them in a secluded place, ensuring they won’t wake up for three days." Yuanyuan smiled radiantly, his beautiful face was so bright, and the vermillion mark on his forehead was fiery and dazzling.

His mischievous expression made Mu Qingge smile faintly.

Yuanyuan suppressed his smile, frowned, and asked, "Boss, if you don’t want to cause trouble, why didn’t you let Brother Yin Chen alter their memories?"

He remembered last time in Lanwu City when he beat the debauched young master of the Mu Family, Yin Chen cleaned up the mess for him like so.

Mu Qingge shook her head, saying, "Even if the memories were altered, Ying Chuan’s tongue wouldn’t come back. The Ying Family would still investigate this matter. Given the Ying Family’s status as an Ancient Clan, I’m afraid Yin Chen’s Blinding Technique would be seen through. Since the outcome is inevitable, why bother to conceal?"

"Then... what if the Ying Family comes looking?" Yuanyuan said somewhat worriedly. Listening to Mu Qingge’s tone, the Ying Family seemed a bit hard to deal with.

Immediately, his eyes flashed fiercely, he said viciously, "I should have silenced those three people, leaving no evidence behind!"

Mu Qingge looked at Yuanyuan in surprise, nodding and saying, "Indeed, you’ve made progress!"

Being praised by Mu Qingge, Yuanyuan immediately became proud.

However, Mu Qingge immediately said, "If we really kill Ying Chuan, it would probably provoke the Ying Family’s ruthless revenge, fighting to the death. With our current strength, we are not enough to counter the whole Ying Family."

She also wanted to act swiftly, to relish in the thrill of revenge.

But she couldn’t indulge in a momentary impulse, causing everyone around her to fall into danger.

Mu Qingge sighed in her heart. She truly missed the days of freedom, though she had never truly possessed such days.

Whether in her past life or this life, her life had been spent amidst countless weighings of gains and losses.

The closer she got to the Sang Family, the more she felt as if she was returning to the feeling of being bound hand and foot in the Mu Family. Back then, her forbearance, her dormancy was due to the oppression of the Qin Imperial Family. And now, her choices and her judgments were also to avoid driving herself into a dead end.

She could kill Ying Chuan, and then start a life of being hunted down and escaping.

Yet, that outcome was not what she wanted.

Perhaps, a single Ying Chuan was not worth her paying such a price.

"Woman, I didn’t expect you weren’t stupid." A cold and proud voice resounded in Mu Qingge’s mind.

Mu Qingge immediately discerned that the one speaking was that creature resembling a rabbit, the monster.

Hmm, he said his name was Kong Xuan.

A name that sounded very narcissistic!

"Thank you for the compliment. However, if you replace ’woman’ with ’master,’ I think I’d be more willing to hear you speak," Mu Qingge replied lightly.

"Hmph." This remark was met with a snobbish cold snort from the monster.

"The Ying Family is not simple. For someone like you now, it’s a giant beast. Not making it a mortal enemy is the right decision," the monster paused before saying.

Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered. She quietly asked, "I didn’t expect you to know so much about the families of the Middle Ancient Realm."

"I don’t know a damn thing! Knowing the Ying Family is because I know their origin. Do you even know what an Ancient Clan is?" the monster unceremoniously shouted.

"I don’t know," Mu Qingge honestly answered.

To her, Ancient Clan seemed to be just an old family with a long history and gifted bloodlines.

"Hmph, if I hadn’t promised that person to protect you, I wouldn’t care if you lived or died!" The monster grunted discontentedly. ’That person’ naturally referred to Si Mo.

But Mu Qingge laughed and exposed it without hesitation, "It seems like it wasn’t about promising anything, but because if I die, you will die too, so you have to plan for your own life, right?"

"..." The monster was speechless, being cornered.

Mu Qingge sneered, "Stop putting on a facade. I don’t want to die, and neither do you, so speak straightforwardly, and don’t spout those superficial words."

Yuanyuan blinked at Mu Qingge, noticing the change in her expression, knowing she was communicating with someone else, so he remained silent, simply following her closely and curiously observing the surroundings.

"Ancient Clans are called Ancient Clans because the special blood flowing in them belongs to gods and demons," the monster’s words were groundbreaking.

Mu Qingge’s eyes suddenly narrowed. She had never thought that the Ancient Clans of the Middle Ancient Realm would have connections with gods and demons.

The monster continued, "One could say that the Ancient Clans are the continuation of god and demon bloodlines, hidden within the Human Clan, passed down from generation to generation, and no one knows when it will completely awaken."

"I don’t quite understand. If the origin of the Ancient Clans is so significant, why do the Ancient Clans in the Middle Ancient Realm have varying strength? And why is there also a trend of decline?" Mu Qingge asked with a puzzled frown.

"There are also strong and weak among gods and demons, naturally, their bloodline continuation also varies in strength. Moreover, if the god or demon of these bloodlines has perished, their inherited blood will fall asleep, and the difference in strength will naturally become more obvious," the monster explained.

Mu Qingge squinted her eyes, seemingly catching hold of something important. "If an Ancient Clan starts to decline, and the talents of its people are no longer evident, does it mean the god or demon who left the bloodline has already fallen?"

"You’re not exactly dumb. The bloodlines left by fallen gods and demons won’t disappear immediately but will fade over generations. With good fortune, a talented individual might appear in one generation, reawakening the bloodline, potentially entering the Divine Demon Continent and possibly reactivating the family’s bloodline. Conversely, if this Ancient Clan remains strong and prosperous, it indicates..."
