Chapter 1649: Chapter 1509: The Imperial Clan Thief
The first day of the conference ended, and although Liu Binglan had made some psychological preparations, she had not expected the Northern Territory to be handed over so readily.
After careful consideration, the Northern Territory is not entirely under New Moon Land’s jurisdiction; indeed, it would be somewhat inconvenient for New Moon Land to extend its reach so far to manage it.
If summoned away, then so be it. Liu Binglan isn’t so attached to this land, but she can’t stand the smugness and kicking others when they are down of those people.
With the meeting over, everyone dispersed.
As soon as Liu Binglan walked out of the mountain villa Hall, Fire Lady swaggered up to her, her face brimming with glee.
“I told you before, alas, you always thought too highly of yourself,” said the Fire Lady.
Liu Binglan did not want to engage in conversation with this woman and walked straight ahead.
“I’m quite curious, what exactly is your relationship with Judge Xiao? Such a boorish man actually came out twice to help you. Could it be that knowing New Moon Land is isolated and without aid, you have made some shameful deal with that high-ranking Judge?” Fire Lady continued.
Liu Binglan’s expression turned from indifferent to icy in an instant.
A chilling spiritual pressure suddenly burst forth from Liu Binglan’s purple eyes like a sharp sword, piercing deep into Fire Lady’s Spiritual World.
Fire Lady’s complexion changed, and never expected Liu Binglan to suddenly launch a spiritual attack, she retreated hastily, bumping heavily into a pillar.
“You!!” Fire Lady’s face turned somewhat pale.
All along she thought Liu Binglan of New Moon Land was just an ordinary human without much strength. But the Soul Sense she just released proved she was a Soul Immortal with extremely high Soul Perception!
This Soul Sense was even higher than the Fire Lady’s own, leaving her too stunned to speak for half a day!
In the front hall of the mountain villa, representatives of various Major Powers were dispersing, and soon everyone noticed the conflict between Fire Lady and Liu Binglan, their gazes turning towards the scene.
The Fire Lady became even more irate, she, the leader of the Fire Faction of the Elemental Sect, was being oppressed in terms of Soul Perception!
“You actually dare to injure me?” Fire Lady said furiously.
Right there, Fire Lady began chanting a Spell!
Flames wrapped around Fire Lady’s robe, her hair wildly dancing, making her appear somewhat possessed by Furious Madness!
A deep red flame glyph swirled above Fire Lady’s head, forming a massive Flame summoning glyph!
If her Soul Perception was oppressed, she would settle it with Soul Pets. Fire Lady would not let this woman who made her lose face get away with it!
Liu Binglan, however, did not chant any spells because when Fire Lady was speaking insultingly, a shadow of demonic fire appeared in front of her!
Standing between Fire Lady and Liu Binglan, Bai Yu instantly transformed into a half-demon, his body engulfed in Demonic Fire, and that cold aura suddenly weighed upon Fire Lady.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Silver Demon Flame nearly brushed against Fire Lady’s face, the Fire Lady had only one syllable left in her spell, but upon seeing Bai Yu’s cold and murderous eyes, she did not have the courage to continue chanting.
Fire Lady did not fear Bai Yu, confident that the Pangying Flame Beast could handle this Bai Yu who was half-demon.
But she believed more that before she could summon the Pangying Flame Beast, she would be burnt to ashes by the Demon Fire.
Bai Yu was a half-demon, his personality utterly unpredictable and not bound by worldly constraints. Fire Lady, though enraged, dared not risk her life playing with this mad demon.
Consequently, Fire Lady had to stop her spell, snorted coldly, and briskly walked towards the Elemental Sect’s group.
Seeing Fire Lady stop her summoning, Bai Yu’s lips curled into a scornful cold smirk.
The Silver Demon Flame slowly faded from his body, Bai Yu walked up to Liu Binglan and said indifferently, “Some vile people don’t deserve your courtesy.”
Fire Lady’s face darkened when she heard what Bai Yu said, had it not been for the Chief Protector nearby, she would have dealt with this inhuman and demonic creature herself!
Liu Binglan nodded gently, now that New Moon Land was already seen unfavorably, indeed there was no need to show these people a good face. As for such insolence and verbal insults, no weak stance could be taken!
“Hmph, the day you beg for mercy kneeling before me will come soon!” Fire Lady snorted coldly and walked away.
…
Back inside the mountain villa, Liu Binglan reported the situation of the meeting to the rest of the group.
Shen Mo could hardly contain his anger, slamming his palm onto the table and saying, “This is intolerable! What’s the difference between this and bandits?”
While Shen Mo was managing the New Moon Branch Hall in Struggle City, he was also looking after the Northern Territory. After considerable effort to bring prosperity to the Northern Territory, just as it was flourishing, everything was suddenly taken over by others – how could Shen Mo not be furious!!
“How can these people be so despicable? If they have the guts, let them come and rob us, we’re not necessarily afraid of them. To use such despicable means against us, what a shameless claim that it’s for the safety of humanity, disgraceful!!” Pang Yue was even more furious, cursing nonstop.
“We have far too few allies,” Liu Binglan sighed softly.
Liu Binglan wasn’t very worried about losing the Northern Territory. Now she was concerned about another issue.
The word about New Moon Land’s Independent Space had already spread, and all the Major Powers had sent people to negotiate the trade of these Independent Spaces. Liu Binglan was worried they would extend their reach towards New Moon Land’s Independent Spaces.
As for the reasons they would use to take away the Independent Space, Liu Binglan felt that this wasn’t the point. As long as there were enough people targeting the people of New Moon Land, any excuse could be found. By that time, even if they were to hand over New Moon Land, it would probably be done through a vote!
What kind of situation would arise in tomorrow’s conference? The more Liu Binglan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt within her heart.
…
Late at night, Liu Binglan lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
Would the storm tomorrow be even more ferocious, and would she, like today, only be able to choose to compromise?
Liu Binglan began to carefully count the truly trustworthy allies of New Moon Land in her heart.
Regrettably, there were really too few allies.
Unable to fall asleep at all, Liu Binglan got up, donned a purple coat, and walked towards the courtyard.
The cool breeze of the courtyard brought a slight calm to her somewhat chaotic mind.
She left the courtyard and slowly walked towards the location of the Sky Corridor.
The Sky Corridor was built between two mountain peaks, serving as a bridge between two mountain villas. Beneath the corridor bridge, there was an abyss that one could not see the bottom of.
Liu Binglan stood in the center of the Sky Corridor, facing the wild winds that were rushing from the cliffs.
Ever since Chu Mu independently led New Moon Land, it has been developing rapidly, and the Three Great Palaces have also seen unprecedented prosperity, bringing her immense gratification.
However, as New Moon Land gradually entered the sight of the major powers of the Struggle Land, the ostracism and suppression became more intense. Liu Binglan wondered whether to have New Moon Land take a slight step back, cutting off its sharp edges for steady development, or to truly survive in the crevices between these entrenched major powers in the human domain?
“Swoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Engulfed in frustration, suddenly, two high-speed winds shot out from a distant cliff!
With Liu Binglan’s high Soul Sense, she detected the strangeness of these wind sounds and promptly locked onto their origin with her Soul Sense.
The two Black Winds were hurtling towards the Sky Corridor, seemingly chasing something with urgency and anger.
As these two Black Winds drew near, Liu Binglan realized the approaching figures were actually two royal elders of the Hidden-Pupil Royal Family!
Those who could serve as royal elders had strength that was very close to the Leader Level; they were undoubtedly Strong Ones. Why were they so anxious in their pursuit to this location?
“Lady Liu, why are you here so late at night?” asked one of the royal elders as he controlled his Black Wind Soul Pet to hover over the Sky Corridor and spoke.
“The daytime conference troubled me, so I came out for a walk. Elders seem so rushed; has something happened?” Liu Binglan inquired.
“Hmph, just a thief. Just now, did you notice anything flying into this mountain villa?” another royal elder said.
Liu Binglan thought carefully and then slightly shook her head: “No.”
“Don’t let me catch him!! We’ll go see other places.” The two royal elders, riding their Black Wind Soul Pets, flew toward another mountain villa’s location.
Liu Binglan watched the two royal elders leave, wondering silently who was so bold as to steal from the royal family’s territory.
Standing quietly for a long while, Liu Binglan suddenly raised her head, looking up at the wooden shelter of the Sky Corridor.
“Drip…”
A drop of Fresh Blood fell from above, landing precisely next to Liu Binglan.
Liu Binglan displayed no sign of panic, simply gazing upward at the man hidden on the beam above her.
When she had scanned the area with her Soul Sense just now, Liu Binglan saw not only the two royal elders flying in this direction but also detected the person hiding above the Sky Corridor. This person used the power of a Different Race to hide himself, almost completely concealing his presence.
Unfortunately for him, Liu Binglan owned several Abnormal Soul Pets with keen space perception abilities and the hidden man could not escape her detection.
“They’ve gone,” Liu Binglan said calmly, looking into the man’s black and bright eyes.
The man floated down from above, with a vague shadow beside him, likely some Abnormal Soul Pet with spatial hiding abilities, which did not reveal its form.
The man was dressed in black, his face also tightly covered.
On his arm, there was a deep wound, from which the earlier blood had dripped.
“Thank you,” the man said, appearing somewhat weak and severely injured.
“So City Lord Lin Xian is not one to stay out of trouble,” Liu Binglan recognized the man at a glance – he was the Vice City Master of Hecheng, Lin Xian.
“Heh heh, I hope Madame Liu will keep this secret for me, otherwise…” Lin Xian gave an awkward smile.
Of course, in his heart, Lin Xian felt secretly relieved that he hadn’t removed his disguise; otherwise, being spotted by Liu Binglan now would likely have led to his identification.
“Otherwise, silence me by killing?” Liu Binglan asked. She was somewhat curious as to what City Master Lin would steal from the royal family in the middle of the night, taking such a bold risk.
“Hehe, I wouldn’t dare. My spirit was heavily damaged by those two old fellows, and I can’t be sure if they’re still around. Could I bother Madame Liu to escort me back to the Mountain Villa?” Lin Xian asked with an extremely pale face. (.)
