Chapter 2146: Chapter 2146 Infiltrating Into Fairy Clan Base
"That’s alright, I’ll figure it out later!"
Ye Liuyun, holding the maid’s token, successfully infiltrated the Fairy Clan base and returned to Mu Lingxi’s quarters.
"Master, Qingfeng had his quarter!" Mu Lingxi reminded Ye Liuyun. She thought it wouldn’t be convenient for the two of them to reside in the same quarter.
"No need. It’s safer for me to stay here. If anyone asks, just tell them I’m injured and resting here." Ye Liuyun instructed.
He didn’t think much about it. He prioritised his safety since he had managed to enter the inner part of the Fairy Clan’s base.
"Yes!" Mu Lingxi had to agree, but she was concerned that Ye Liuyun might need her to be at his bedside at night.
"You’re overthinking, I don’t have such intentions!" Ye Liuyun learned of her thoughts through the Slaving Seal.
"Oh!" Mu Lingxi bolted away, her cheeks turning red.
"Send me the map of the Fairy Clan base!" Ye Liuyun communicated to her through the Slaving Seal.
Upon getting the map from Mu Lingxi, he noticed that the Fairy Clan base covered numerous locations unexplored by Mu Lingxi, with many parts unmarked on the map.
Ye Liuyun then had the five enslaved elders send him the map in their Ocean of Consciousness.
He overlapped the five maps, but there were still a few areas that even the elders had not visited.
"Tell me what are the places you haven’t been to?" Ye Liuyun asked the elders.
"The largest area is the residence of the Mighty of Fairy Clan. And another is a sacred land of the Fairy Clan. Both spots were forbidden to enter regardless of any matter."
"The smallest area is the residence of the primary elders of the Fairy Clan and some Mighty members. Without a summons, we can’t enter." The elders replied to Ye Liuyun.
"How many Fairy Clan martial practitioners are there who have reached the ninth level?" Ye Liuyun continued to question them.
Someone replied to Ye Liuyun, "There are more than thirty martial practitioners that we know of in the advanced ninth level. There are also some hidden experts but we’re not sure how many there are exactly."
As for the intermediate ninth level, there might be about one or two hundred. We have never counted those in the primary ninth level."
"That’s a lot? But I’ve never seen even one!" Ye Liuyun had not expected the Fairy Clan to have so many experts, far exceeding his earlier estimation.
"These experts usually practice in their residences. They do not usually show themselves unless they are summoned by the clan!" They explained to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun had no idea how to eliminate so many powerful martial practitioners, so he decided to contact Liang Xue first.
"I have made it to the outer gates of the Fairy Clan!" Ye Liuyun informed her.
"Huh?" Liang Xue was surprised by Ye Liuyun’s statement.
Despite her excitement from her anticipation of meeting Ye Liuyun, she calmed down and was concerned for his safety.
"You’re being too reckless! You must avoid meeting me. There are too many experts of Fairy Clan here, and they are frequently patrolling!"
However, Ye Liuyun reassured Liang Xue, "It’s alright, I’ll use the Phantom Illusion to disguise myself as a woman and meet you. Do you have a suitable target in mind? Someone you want to get rid of or dislike?"
Liang Xue knew that Ye Liuyun planned to control people with his Divine Soul attack, so she considered it for a moment before telling Ye Liuyun. "There’s a maid who has been keeping an eye on me. However, she has a Fairy Clan token, how do you plan on controlling her?"
"I have my way. You just have to find a way to get her to me." Ye Liuyun declared.
"That’s easy! Where are you?" Liang Xue asked.
Ye Liuyun told Liang Xue of his location and he is currently taking Qingfeng’s appearance.
"Tell her you had Qingfeng buy you things and need her to collect them for you," Ye Liuyun suggested to Liang Xue.
"But, I’m afraid she would report to the Elder before she meets you!" Liang Xue was somewhat uneasy.
"It’s alright, it’s worth a try. If I can’t get to her, we’ll think of other ways!" Ye Liuyun didn’t seem as nervous as Liang Xue.
He had made up his mind. Once exposed, he would unleash the foreign race in his keeping and cause a massive rampage. He would use the chance to retreat stealthily.
Before long, a maid named Xin Hui came looking for him.
Upon meeting Mu Lingxi, she stated arrogantly, "The Saintess had me here to fetch something from Qingfeng. Summon him out to see me!"
Mu Lingxi, following Ye Liuyun’s request, ushered her in, "Qingfeng is injured and is resting in the room. Please follow me inside!"
After that, Mu Lingxi led the way for her.
Xin Hui hesitated a bit, but Mu Lingxi did not look back as she walked in. Hence, she had no choice but to follow reluctantly.
"What a hassle!" She mumbled under her breath.
Every room in the Fairy Clan had a Formation to prevent any probing attack. Especially for women’s residences, where the Formation was significantly stronger.
Hence, when Xin Hui entered the room, the people outside were unaware of the activity inside.
As soon as Mu Lingxi shut the door, Ye Liuyun swiftly blasted a beam of white light on Xin Hui. He controlled the energy just right to burn a hole in the back of her head without piercing through it.
Next, Ye Liuyun immediately tossed her corpse into his Spatial World and he then transformed into her appearance.
"How is this? Do I look the part?" Ye Liuyun asked Mu Lingxi.
Mu Lingxi was taken aback. Ye Liuyun even mimicked her voice and proud demeanour.
"What kind of technique is this transformed you into her?" Mu Lingxi reacted and asked Ye Liuyun.
"The similar demeanour movement is due to observation, not the technique..."
Before Ye Liuyun could finish explaining, his divine sense suddenly detected the pressure of a ninth-level was enveloping around.
He promptly reminded Mu Lingxi, "Remember, Qingfeng has never been here and perished in the battle."
"Mu Lingxi, what are you up to inside?" A voice sounded from the outside of her residence.
When the person approached, he headed straight for the room.
"Xiao?" Mu Lingxi pretended to be surprised. "What happened?"
"Huh, where is Qingfeng?" Xiao Steward didn’t answer Mu Lingxi’s question but asked about him.
"Qingfeng died in the battle!" Mu Lingxi replied.
"Then why did you bring Xin Hui into the room?" Xiao continued to probe.
"Qingfeng left a last wishes to Xin Hui! If I don’t let her into the room, should she stand outside and talk?" Mu Lingxi purposely counter-questioned.
"Oh, I see! Haha, I must have misunderstood!" Xiao somewhat embarrassingly explained.
"Oh, I see! Haha, I must have misunderstood!" Xiao somewhat embarrassingly explained.
"Xiao, what were you thinking? Since when can an Elder barge into a female elder’s room at will?" However, Mu Lingxi took the opportunity to start an argument.
"Well, because Xin Hui is the saintess’s handmaid. I am just worried about her safety!" Xiao explained.
"Worried about her safety? Are you suspecting me? I demand you to clarify this today! Otherwise, I will accuse you of barging into the female quarter without cause. Even if you’re an Elder, you don’t have that right, do you?"
Mu Lingxi took a stand and raised her voice, attracting the attention of some disciples to look towards the room.
