The northeast region of Nine Big Domains was the territory of Force Emperor Immortal Palace. Force Emperor Immortal Palace had hundreds of cities here with over 2 billion people. It was a very prosperous place.
Redmountain City was just a trivial city according to population among these cities of Force Emperor Immortal Palace.
As it was almost in the northernmost border of Nine Heavens Big Domain, it was surrounded by mountains. There were no big cities nearby. Therefore, Redmountain City only had a population of over 1 million. It didn't have too many special products and outputs. Additionally, it didn't have a developed economy either. The entire Redmountain City mainly relied on agriculture. Additionally, there were some small iron mines and workshops. Like all the other small cities in Motian Realm which belonged to immortal palaces, it was self-sufficient. Immortal palaces were supreme. All the residents in the city were believers of immortal palaces. Everything was in order. If nothing major happened in such a city, outsiders might not even hear about its name even after hundreds of years.
Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin were heading for Redmountain City.
After half a night's flight, when Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin arrived at Redmountain City by airboat, the sky had just turned bright.
In the airport of airboat outside Redmountain City, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin who had disguised themselves followed the crowd off the airboat and walked towards the center of the city easily. After making two rounds in the city, they covered each other and moved separately. After confirming that they were not followed by anyone, they converged with each other. Half an hour later, they came to a luxurious castle outside the city which was surrounded by mountains and rivers.
This castle was less than 10 miles away from Force Emperor Immortal Palace in the city. It was also the largest and most brilliant castle in the city. It occupied the most beautiful region outside Redmountain City. Everyone in Redmountain City knew that this castle belonged to Ying Clan in Redmountain City. Not only this castle, but the greater part of Redmountain City also belonged to Ying Clan.
The forefathers of Ying Clan rooted here and built Redmountain City. Finally, Ying Clan joined Force Emperor Immortal Palace together with over 1 million people in Redmountain City. They built many immortal palaces of Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City. Ying Clan's members also served as the head of the branch of Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City for generations.
The relationship between Ying Clan, Redmountain City and Force Emperor Immortal Palace could be explained in this way — — Redmountain City belonged to Force Emperor Immortal Palace while Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City belonged to Ying Clan.
This pattern was not new in Motian Realm. If those small clans with immortal generals and cities were annexed by an immortal palace or joined an immortal palace, the immortal palace and these small clans would usually find such a satisfactory way to coexist with each other.
Immortal palaces needed population and immortal palaces the most; whereas, those small clans and immortal generals needed powerful backers and element crystals the most.
However, nobody knew that the so-called Ying Clan in Redmountain City was the nest of Yin-Yang Sect which was wanted by Force Emperor Immortal Palace.
Hundreds of years were enough for those people of Yin-Yang Sect to make some achievements in the border of Nine Heavens Big Domain. Closely after that, they joined Force Emperor Immortal Palace and became a member of Force Emperor Immortal Palace aboveboard, turning the most dangerous place into the safest place.
How could the immortal generals of Force Emperor Immortal Palace imagine that the sect that they were chasing after had already become a part of them? They couldn't even investigate it at all.
The head of Ying Clan was an immortal general and the head of the branch of Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City. The head of Ying Clan was lascivious and had a lot of wives and concubines. Therefore, Ying Clan had a lot of women in the castle outside Redmountain City. In recent months, Ying Clan had recruited another batch of beautiful maids in the castle outside Redmountain City.
Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin had heard about this news the moment they arrived at Redmountain City.
As an immortal general, lasciviousness was actually not a shortcoming. In Motian Realm, as it was hard for women to get pregnant, many immortal generals had a lot of women on their side and had a lot of babies. As Force Emperor Immortal Palace in Redmountain City was always free, everyone across Redmountain City knew that the head of Ying Clan always stayed with women in his own castle instead of coming to Force Emperor Immortal Palace. It was not a secret at all.
Everything had been arranged flawlessly.
…
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The two people waited at the side door of the castle and told a guard the name of a steward in the castle. After 2 minutes, a slightly plump, well-dressed steward walked out of the side door and glanced at them seriously.
"You're …" The woman glanced at Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin with a dubious look. "Aunt Tang, have you forgotten that we're from Mingyue Gully in Dafang City?
I'm Tang Yi, and he's Tang An. When Aunt Tang went back to Bright Moon Valley a few years ago, you even came to our house and talked to my uncle and aunt. Aunt Tang, you said that you still need people to work here. If I want to come out and work, I can come to you … "Ji Yuelan, who was disguised as a man, smiled humbly and bowed. His acting was very good." Well, a few days ago, we two brothers didn't have anything to do at home. Our uncle gave us some travel expenses and asked us to come to you for a try … "
A strange light flashed across the woman's eyes. Closely after that, she revealed a faint smile as she said, "You still remember it. However, Ying Clan is so big and needs people in many places. If you want to work in Ying Clan, you have to be obedient and able to bear hardships. Those who can't bear hardships and don't know the rules would not stay in Ying Clan for long …"
"We know. We will never embarrass you, Aunt Tang!"
"Well, come in with me. I will find a place for you to live!"
"Yes, yes!" Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin hurriedly nodded.
"After entering, don't look around or ask anything. Don't run around randomly. Just follow my order!" After saying that, the woman led Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin into the gate. Closely after that, she walked inside as she said, "We need two gardeners in the garden. Butler Ying also needs two rice keepers. The rice keepers are easier and have a higher monthly salary. However, the two rice keepers need to be smart and good at accounting. I'm not sure whether Butler Ying would like you or not …"
"We know, we know. As we're new here, we could do any work first. After we get familiar with each other …"
"Yes, I'm your director. But you can call me Butler Tang in the castle. Don't call me aunt!"
"Hmm, hmm …"
At this moment, even though some immortal generals were eavesdropping on them, who would doubt that there was something wrong with their words?
There was a high wall outside the castle. After passing through this high wall, they came to a slightly lower wall. Between the two walls, there was a passageway which could allow two lizard-like vehicles to pass side by side. After a few more steps, they entered another gate and entered Ying Clan's castle.
As Ying Clan had been living a luxurious life in Redmountain City for generations, they had made many arrangements inside the castle. Like other major clans, Ying Clan's wall inside the castle had been set up for immortal generals.
After entering the castle and passing through a porch, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin finally became relaxed. However, Butler Tang who was walking in front of them became a bit meticulous.
"Tang Ling, tell the grand elders and the head that we're back and have something to report. We'll wait in Sun-Moon Palace first …" Jiang Ruoxin told Butler Tang in a secret way.
Butler Tang didn't look back; neither did he change his pace. He just slightly nodded.
After a short while, Butler Tang had arranged for Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin to stay in a remote courtyard.
"You two can live here for the time being. Take a rest today. I will come for you tomorrow …"
"Fine!"
After the two parties finished their orders, Steward Tang strode away from the courtyard. Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin came to a room in the courtyard. After entering the room, they closed the door.
Even though they knew that all the members of Ying Clan, guards, gardeners, cooks and maids were disciples of Yin-Yang Sect, they had to follow the rules. Yin-Yang Sect could survive the pursuit of Force Emperor Immortal Palace because of their meticulousness and meticulousness.
After entering the room and looking around, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin finally let out a deep sigh.
"We're finally back. It's been many times longer than before. It's really torturous!" As Ji Yuelan spoke, she tore off the mask on her face, revealing her beautiful appearance. When her original appearance was revealed, her voice also changed.
Jiang Ruoxin also recovered her original look in a split second as she put away her mask, saying, "Given the current situation, we have to be careful!"
"What reward do you think we'll get after accomplishing this task so fast?"
"Do you really care about that bit of reward?"
"You're right!"
"I've not imagined that our master has recruited another batch of female disciples these days …"
"After all, this place is too small. Our development is limited. It's not easy for us to cultivate disciples. I'm thinking about having Yin-Yang Sect develop in Dragon Emperor Big Domain. Perhaps we should consider it …"
"It's not up to you and me. We'd better let our master make the decision!"
The two people said as they cleaned up a bit. Closely after that, they moved to the back of the room and fiddled with a wardrobe for a short while. Closely after that, the wardrobe was moved away from the ground, exposing a cave. The two people then entered the cave.
There were secret tunnels inside the cave, which constantly extended to the underground. There were some traps and hidden doors in the middle. After passing through some secret tunnels and hidden doors skillfully, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin came to a huge underground space.
There was a palace in the underground space. There was a horizontal board above the gate of the grand ceremony, on which was written "Sun and Moon Hall".
This was the core place of Yin-Yang Sect. Right inside the Sun and Moon Hall, the ancestral tablets of the forefathers of Yin-Yang Sect were enshrined.
After burning incense for those ancestral tablets, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin waited in the Sun and Moon Hall quietly. Not until one hour later did four women and one man enter the Sun and Moon Hall.
At the sight of them, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin hurriedly bowed down towards them.
"Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin pay their respects to master, grand elders and head …"
…
