Chapter 591
Naturally, Zhang Ruochen would not remove his mask . "Let's just exchange for one Holy Stone first, since you don't trust us . Tomorrow we will come with enough Spiritual Crystals to exchange for the remaining two Holy Stones . "
A gleam of disappointment appeared in Duanmu Ya's eyes .
Duanmu Ya did not intend to force it further . She knew what Zhang Ruochen was capable of, and she did not want to provoke him to anger and make an enemy of him .
Mu Lingxi was not as cautious . She walked up to Zhang Ruochen and said, "When will you stop pretending, Zhang Ruochen? Why are you fearful of showing your true self to me since you are still alive? Don't you trust me?"
"Zhang Ruochen?"
Zhang Ruochen maintained his calmness . The ends of his lips curled up as he said, "Your Highness, I am afraid you have mistaken me for another person . "
"Swosh!"
From 50 feet away, Zhang Ruochen stretched out one of his hands, curled his fingers into a claw, and directed one of the Holy Stones from the bronze salver into his sleeve .
He then turned to leave Wuwang Inn .
"Don't go, Zhang Ruochen . . . "
Mu Lingxi speedily made a move to try to catch up with him .
However, she quickly lost sight of Zhang Ruochen the moment she was out of Wuwang Inn .
When Duanmu Ya caught up with Mu Lingxi, she said anxiously, "Lingxi, from the back, this man does look like Zhang Ruochen . However, it may not be him after all . A man cannot come back to life once he dies . Why don't you just let it go?"
Mu Lingxi bit her lip as she started to tear up . She could feel her heart breaking in two and tears ran down her cheeks as she said with a lovesick tone, "Why, aunt? He was just standing before of me, but why didn't he remove his mask? Why doesn't he trust me?"
Duanmu Ya replied, "You are the Saintess of the Demonic Sect, and there are many important things you have to handle . I can't just sit around and watch you sink deeper into this . I am going to inform the High Priest so he can send someone here to take you home if you refuse to perk up . "
Mu Lingxi did not seem to hear Duanmu Ya's words . On the other hand, she seemed even more determined . She said, "Please prepare an altar for me, aunt . I will personally unlock the seal on myself . When I regain my level of cultivation, he won't be able to walk away from me . "
"No, it would be too dangerous to unlock the seal using your strength alone . You could be putting your training at risk . I would advise you make a trip back to the Ancient Moon Precipice to allow the High Priest to unlock your seal," Duanmu Ya said .
Mu Lingxi however, was unrelenting . She said, "Cyan Cloud County and Ancient Moon Precipice are hundreds of thousands of miles apart . I wouldn't know where he is by the time I returned from unlocking the seal . " "The world is so vast and densely populated . It would be almost impossible to find him if I miss this chance . He must have encountered some difficulties, and he didn't wish to implicate me . That's why he's avoiding me . Please, will you just help me this once, Aunt?"
Duanmu Ya was unmoved by her pleading . She did not wish for her to wallow in her stupidity .
"Don't push it, Aunt . "
Mu Lingxi took the Holy Moon Token out of her Spatial Ring and placed it on her palm .
The Holy Moon Token flew into the air and transformed into a bright moon above Mu Lingxi . Instantly, her aura became very powerful .
At this moment, she seemed to be a statue of a commanding Saint, standing in front of Duanmu Yu .
In an instant, Mu Lingxin's temperament turned cold and sharp . "You left me with no other choice . As the Saintess of the Moon Worship Sect, I command you to prepare an altar for me . Tonight, I have to unlock the seal on my body . "
Duanmu Ya had no choice but to kneel . She saluted her, saying, "Yes, Your Highness . "
Mu Lingxi pocketed the Holy Moon Token, went forward, and helped Duanmu Ya up, saying, "Aunt, I hope you understand that I am doing this because I have no other choice . "
"What can I say, now that you have even used the Holy Moon Token on me? Since you have made up your mind, I will give you a hand . I hope I am not doing you harm instead . "
Duanmu Ya gave Mu Lingxi a long thoughtful look, and she finally understood Mu Lingxi's deep feelings for Zhang Ruochen . It really was a cruel twist of fate .
Following a hundred years of development, the Moon Worship Demonic Sect's great power and influence in Cyan Cloud County had allowed them to take control of an extensive area of the city .
Duanmu Ya led Mu Lingxi to the northern part of Cyan Cloud County, which was relatively desolated, and they entered a manor that spread over 130 acres .
This manor was Moon Worship Demonic Sect's secret stronghold, and many of its masters took cover here .
"Swosh!"
A slim figure in black, carrying a sword on her back, came out of the manor, knelt before Duanmu Ya and Mu Lingxi, and saluted them with a bow .
"Greetings to Your Highness the Saintess, and to the Chief . "
She was dressed in a tight-fitting black suit and wearing a black hat . A layer of soft metallic armor covered her torso, wrists, and thighs . She was covered from head to toe, exposing only a pair of bright eyes and fair-skinned hands .
Mu Lingxi took one look at her and seemed to recognize her immediately . "Junior sister apprentice Zi, it's been a long time . "
The lady in blacked nodded but remained silent .
Duanmy Ya said, "Get up first, Zi Qian . Bring us to the altar . "
The lady in black was Zi Qian, the lady killer of the Hades Department .
When the Hades Department offended Di Yi in the battle at the Underwater Dragon Palace, they had no choice but to join the Moon Worship Demonic Sect for protection . Naturally, Zi Qian also came under the wings of Moon Worship Demonic Sect and became the chief of one of the branch gangs .
In the center of the manor stood a thirty foot tall altar, made of an enormous heap of huge boulders, each weighing a thousand pounds . The boulders on the edge were carved with strange inscriptions .
