Chapter 2206: Chapter 2206 Suspicious Disciple
"I knew it, your realm is definitely not as high as mine!" Qiong Qi began to mock him.
The clone swiftly returned to the Xuankong stone, swapping with Ye Liuyun. He grabbed a substantial amount of game meat and began to grill it right inside the main hall.
He knew that these two people were disciples of Qiong Qi and Qiong Qi had specifically asked him to look after them, indicating that Qiong Qi did not regard them as outsiders.
Therefore, he chose to reveal his true form and grill meat for Qiong Qi and his disciples.
Song An also joined in the fun. Ye Liuyun introduced him to them. He also let out Liang Xue, Lei Ming, and the Dragon Lady to meet Qiong Qi.
Having not seen Qiong Qi in a long time, they were naturally quite affectionate.
"How many people are there in your Flame Emperor Palace?" Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi replied somewhat awkwardly, "Although there are fewer people now, I believe in quality over quantity when it comes to accepting disciples! Even if our numbers are little, have we not burned down the camp of the Revival Dynasty for you?"
"Eh... Don’t tell me it’s just you three?" Ye Liuyun guessed, looking at Qiong Qi’s expression.
"Haha!" Qiong Qi forced a laugh and finally admitted, "I knew you wouldn’t stop until you asked, how awkward!"
"Your habit of bragging hasn’t changed!" Ye Liuyun finally said helplessly.
"Hahaha!" Huo Lei could not help but be the first to laugh upon hearing this.
They laughed and chatted while eating, creating a lively atmosphere.
After they had filled their stomachs and had enough chat, Qiong Qi wiped his mouth with his sleeve and asked Ye Liuyun. "We haven’t seen each other for so long, I can’t just enjoy your hospitality for nothing. So, why were you looking for me? Is it for weapon refining or formation setting?"
"Hehe, you truly know me well!" Ye Liuyun laughed. "Help me set up a formation for defense against sneak attacks and assassinations. Then add on another one to protect the city!"
Ye Liuyun did not stand on ceremony with Qiong Qi, directly telling him to get to work.
He did not specify any requirements and left all of the arrangements to Qiong Qi.
"Alright then! Your current formation is really weak, it can’t even block a peak ninth-tier martial cultivator! Bring me some top-quality alora crystal. The more, the better!"
Qiong Qi agreed but he immediately asked Ye Liuyun for the alora crystals.
"Tsk, you sure are poor for a lord." Ye Liuyun quickly loaded a small mountain of top grade spirit crystals into a Interspatial Ring and threw it to Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi nodded in satisfaction and moved to outside of the main hall to begin constructing the formation from a distance!
After a bout of gesturing, the formation covered up the City Lord Manor after he clapped and the formation was done setting up with a stomp. Later on, he went to arrange the spirit crystals.
His two apprentices, Huo Lei and Mo Ren learned earnestly as they followed him closely.
"I just love it when you show off your skills. Only then are you worthy of being called King of Fire!" Ye Liuyun changed his appearance and came out to accompany Qiong Qi in setting up the formations.
After finishing setting in the City Lord Manor, Ye Liuyun followed him again to set up outside the city.
After everything was arranged, Qiong Qi followed Ye Liuyun back to the main hall.
He let Ye Liuyun to arrange accommodation for his two disciples and asked them to go back to cultivate. Only then did he go into the Xuankong Stone to cultivate.
"You wouldn’t have thought of coming to see me if you hadn’t hit a bottleneck in your breakthrough, would you?" Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi with a smile.
"What are you saying! I know that you’re about to rule the God Realm, so I hurried over to bask in your glory! Also to encourage you to improve your realm! " Qiong Qi laughed.
Ye Liuyun could not be bothered with him and let him go to cultivate on his own.
After Qiong Qi entered the Xuankong Stone, Song An immediately sent a voice message to Ye Liuyun. "The Flame Palace is an old and reputable force of the Alliance of Goddesses, but it has been lost to obscurity for many years.
However, Mo Xiaotian had been monitoring all the forces of the Alliance of Goddesses and he had planted many spies. So I had been observing the two disciples beside him and I felt that Mo Ren seemed a bit suspicious.
Moreover, his surname is Mo. You would better be extra cautious!"
Ye Liuyun had not pay attention to the two disciples out of his trust toward Qiong Qi. He had only taken a second glance at Huo Lei because his laughter was slightly exaggerated.
As for Mo Ren, he seemed hardly noticeable, quietly sitting on the side and rarely spoke.
"Just based on sharing the same surname?" Ye Liuyun felt it was improbable.
No one could trick Qiong Qi, he was a cunning fellow!
"There’s not a second family with the surname Mo in the entire central region!" Song An stated solemnly.
"I know a friend whose surname is Mo! I just don’t know if he’s in the central region!" Ye Liuyun suddenly thought of Mo Tianheng.
"Oh, what’s his name? You can mention it, chances are I might know him!" Song An also became interested.
"Mo Tianheng!" Ye Liuyun told him.
"Ah? Mo Tianheng who returned from Celestrial Continent?" Song An was aware that Ye Liuyun also came from the human realm, but he did not expect that Mo Tianheng came from the same realm as him.
"Do you indeed know him?" Ye Liuyun was a bit surprised too.
He immediately used spiritual energy to conjure Mo Tianheng’s image.
"Can you confirm it’s him?" Ye Liuyun asked him for confirmation.
"I think so? The thirteenth son of the late King of God. After the late King of God was seriously injured, this Mo Tianheng suddenly disappeared. Now he’s suddenly returned from the mortal world, claiming to have recovered his realm.
However, he was imprisoned by Mo Tianxiap as soon as he came back. At that time, his realm was still in the sixth-tier of the god realm."
Song An said helplessly, "There is no real charge. It’s all because Mo Xiaotian is worried about him taking the throne. After the old God King was seriously injured, his children were mysteriously missing or died one after another. And then the old God King passed away. Mo Xiaotian, the nephew of the old God King, took over the throne."
"You actually know him? He has been thrown into the death cell? What is the charge?" Ye Liuyun exclaimed for a moment before starting to inquire about Mo Tianheng’s situation.
Song An said helplessly, "There is no real charge. It’s all because Mo Xiaotian is worried about him taking the throne!
After the old King of god was seriously injured, his children were mysteriously missing or died one after another. The old King of God had also passed away due to his sickness. Mo Xiaotian took over the throne as the nephew of the old King of God."
"So, the death of the old King of God and his children might be the work of Mo Xiaotian?" Ye Liuyun speculated.
"That’s what everyone guesses, but none have any solid evidence!" Song An said with objectivity.
Ye Liuyun nodded and stopped asking. Thinking about Mo Tianheng’s situation, he completely ignored Mo Ren.
He still felt that the same surname was likely just a remarkable coincidence, it was not enough for him to doubt his friend’s disciple, so he quickly put this matter behind him.
Also, he knew that Qiong Qi would not casually leak his secrets to anyone.
For instance, Qiong Qi probably deliberately distracted his two apprentices in order to keep the Xuanking Stone a secret.
Ye Liuyun returned to the Xuankong Stone with Liang Xue and others to continue cultivate.
He then felt that the protective formation that was covering the whole City Lord Manor was too large and was consuming a lot of energy.
So he returned to his own practice room and asked Qiong Qi to set up a small defensive formation here. This way, it could save a lot of alora crystals.
Considering the number of people around him who need resources, he decided to save wherever he could.
