Listening to Wu Fu's suggestion, Wu De rushed to his sister's residence. The host of the Illusionary Moon Conference this time was the Moonless Empire's third prince. As the third prince's lover, Wu De's sister had already returned to the Wu family.
He arrived at a garden in the Wu family. This was the residence of Wu De's sister. Running into the courtyard, he saw a young girl wearing a long skirt sitting in the garden.
Taking large strides forward, Wu De smiled and called out, "Sister."
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? You don't even know the rules. "Wu De's sister was called Wu Yun. Seeing Wu De rush in, Wu Yun unhappily said.
Being scolded by Wu Yun, Wu De awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Seeing that, Wu Yun helplessly bitterly smiled. As siblings, Wu Yun naturally doted on her brother.
When Wu De was only two years old, their mother had already passed away. As the head of the Wu family, their father had many matters to attend to. Naturally, he didn't have much time to take care of the siblings. So, since young, Wu De could be said to have been brought up by Wu Yun. To Wu De, Wu Yun was both his sister and his mother.
"Look at how old you are already. Why are you still so careless? Sit down." Wu De sat down after scolding Wu De. Hearing that, Wu De obediently sat beside Wu Yun and said to Wu Yun with a fawning smile.
"Sister, I was bullied. This time, you have to help me."
He told Wu Yun about Xiao Chen. Of course, the entire process was made up by Wu De. He said that Xiao Chen forcefully took advantage of a girl. Wu De couldn't stand it and went up to stop him. However, who knew that he wasn't a match for Xiao Chen. In the end, he was beaten up by Xiao Chen.
Hearing Wu De's words, Wu Yun lightly drank a mouthful of tea. Wu Yun loved to drink flower tea. Moreover, these flower teas were all planted by her. The taste was pretty good.
Putting down the teacup, Wu Yun indifferently said, "You want me to kill him during the Illusionary Moon Conference?"
Without needing Wu De to say it, Wu Yun had already guessed that Wu De wanted to kill someone. Hearing that, Wu Yun repeatedly nodded. Seeing that, Wu Yun said,
"I can promise you that, but you have to promise me something."
"Elder sister, what are you talking about? Let alone one condition, even if there were a hundred, as your younger brother, I would definitely agree." Wu De laughed.
"Oh? Then if I ask you to pluck the moon from the sky and give it to me, will you also agree?" Hearing that, Wu Yun said in a displeased manner.
"Isn't that simple? Elder sister, just wait for me. Tonight, I will pluck the moon from the sky for you." Knowing that Wu Yun was joking with him, Wu De also boasted.
Helplessly, he rolled his eyes at Wu De. This fellow really knew how to brag without even thinking about a draft. "Alright, you don't have to go and pick the moon. You just have to promise me that this time, you have to follow me to the Imperial Capital and enter the Imperial School to cultivate. Look at you, you're almost 30 years old, but you're only at the Earth Clear Mirror Realm. In the future, when Father gets old, how can I be at ease handing the Wu Clan Head position over to you?"
Wu Yun's condition was very simple. However, hearing these words, Wu De was put in a difficult position. He originally didn't like to cultivate, and even more so, he couldn't endure hardships. If he were to go to the Imperial School, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?
Although he was depressed in his heart, looking at Wu Yun's appearance, if he didn't agree, Wu Yun obviously wouldn't help him. Thinking about how he had to kill Xiao Chen, Wu De finally clenched his teeth and nodded heavily, "Alright, I promise elder sister."
Seeing Wu De nod his head, Wu Yun opened her mouth and said, "This is what you said. This time, even if I have to tie you up, I will bring you to the Imperial Capital."
After successfully persuading Wu Yun to agree to his request, Wu De left in satisfaction after half an hour.
"With elder sister's help, brat, this young master will definitely kill you in one go." While walking, Wu De secretly thought to himself.
Xiao Chen still didn't know about Wu De's actions. To him, Wu De was a completely insignificant person. So after the previous incident, Xiao Chen didn't take Wu De seriously at all.
If Wu De didn't come looking for trouble with him, then this matter would be over. However, if Wu De acted recklessly, then Xiao Chen didn't recommend directly exterminating the Wu Family. In any case, Xiao Chen had dozens of experts from the Heavenly Chen Continent gathered around him. Not to mention, there was also a Dao Emperor Realm expert. Wouldn't it be easy for them to exterminate a small Wu Family?
He only hoped that Wu De would know when to advance and when to retreat. After all, there wasn't any deep hatred between them. But now, it seemed that Wu De was clearly courting death.
In the Heavenly Chen Residence, the Burning Heaven Ruler was still explaining the knowledge of the Dao to Xiao Chen. However, the time was shortened. Most of the time, Xiao Chen was still preparing for the Illusionary Moon Conference.
Although Xiao Chen wasn't afraid of any cultivator of the same realm, this was his first time fighting with a cultivator from the Heavenly River Continent. He still couldn't let his guard down.
While preparing for the Illusionary Moon Conference, when he went to the City Lord's Mansion to buy the invitation, he was informed that the Illusionary Moon Conference would be held in half a month. As such, the Burning Heaven Ruler and the others bided their time.
Days passed. As the date of the Illusionary Moon Conference approached, Moon Trace City became more and more lively. All the major forces of the Moonless Empire gathered in Moon Trace City. For a time, Moon Trace City could be said to be filled with experts. Dao Seeking Realm and Dao Confirmation Realm cultivators could be seen everywhere. There were also many Dao Transformation Realm cultivators. Even Dao King Realm experts would appear from time to time.
Almost all the powerful forces of the Moonless Empire gathered in Moon Trace City.
The Burning Heaven Ruler and the others naturally received news of the gathering of these local forces. Moreover, after this period of familiarity, everyone had a more intuitive understanding of the division of forces in the Moonless Empire.
In the simplest terms, the forces of the Moonless Empire were divided into four levels.
The first level, needless to say, was naturally the Imperial Family. There were Dao Emperors in charge.
Below the Imperial Family was the second level, which was the Four Great Princes of the Moonless Empire and the Eight Great Marquises. They all had Dao Sovereign Realm experts in charge. However, although they were at the same level, the Four Great Princes were much stronger than the Eight Great Marquises.
The above two levels were considered to be the upper level forces of the Moonless Empire. The third level below was the various forces that participated in the Illusionary Moon Conference. They all had Dao King Realm experts in their clans, and almost all of them had official titles in the Moonless Empire. The various forces at this level were considered the middle forces of the Moonless Empire.
As for the fourth level, it was a clan like the Wu Clan of Moon Trace City. They dominated the city, but there were no Dao King Realm experts in their clan. In the entire Moonless Empire, they couldn't be seen in public. However, because of their large numbers, they were considered the basic forces of the Moonless Empire.
