Chapter 921: Chapter 573: Unexpected NewsThinking of these messy things in his mind, Xu Yuan slowly sat up from the soft couch of the inn.
Tonight, insomnia struck—he couldn’t sleep.
Although he had already become an Integration Body cultivator, Xu Yuan still maintained the good habit of sleeping, but being accustomed to the fatigue of travel, suddenly staying in this luxurious inn was a bit hard to adapt to.
The bright moonlight spilled into the room through the window lattice, and the inn’s decor was quite luxurious, yet unlike the taverns in the heartland of Dayan, the furnishings here bore a dash of Western Region aesthetics.
Donning a black robe, he stepped off the bed and walked to the pavilion outside the curtain of his room, casting his eyes into the distance.
The moon shone bright and stars sparse, geese flying westward, a majestic gorge of a hundred miles suddenly came into view.
The night wind, carrying a hint of sand and dryness, brushed against his cheeks; Yan Valley Inn was built on the edge of the giant gorge at the northernmost end of Zhenxi Prefecture, designed specifically for cultivators. Staying one night in three separate rooms cost Xu Yuan and his companions a hundred taels of broken silver.
However, the silver this night was not offered by Xu Yuan himself; instead, it was a treat from a young man he had befriended during the journey...
"With such moonlight, Brother Zhou, since you are also awake, why not have a small drink with me?"
Standing for a long while on the suspended pavilion perched upon the cliff, a slightly hoarse male voice suddenly reached Xu Yuan’s ears.
Turning his head towards the voice, Xu Yuan saw a young man standing there, smiling at him.
The young man was dressed in a sleeping robe, his complexion pale and somewhat haggard, making him appear somewhat sickly.
The other party’s surname was Mu, given name Li, styled Xing Yi.
He was the leader of a trade caravan that Xu Yuan had helped along the road.
While traversing a desert area, Mu’s caravan was attacked by a wave of over a thousand small desert wolves. Acting out of instinct to assist and learning that both were headed to Zhenxi Prefecture, they naturally ended up traveling together.
Having traveled together for half a month, Xu Yuan found their conversation quite enjoyable.
However, no feast under heaven goes unparted, Mu Xing Yi’s destination was the Southern Desert Metropolitan Mansion, and Xu Yuan was bound tomorrow to lead the treasure-seeking Ji to Qianji Gorge to
"The Tartar People’s Goddess was captured by Princess Jun Wu leading a thousand cavalry at the turn of the year."
As he spoke,
Mu Xingyi gently shook his head under Xu Yuan’s increasingly astonished gaze:
"However, this is not necessarily a good thing.
"After capturing the Goddess, Princess Jun Wu only managed to send a message back to the metropolitan mansion before she and her thousand cavalry guards vanished altogether.
"Now, the Dachao Royal Court and Marquis of Zhenxi are mustering troops over this."
