High end clan

NEXT DAY

I believe we would get information from this tavern, they are secretly in the trade of information in this area, they aren't as bad as the beggars' sect.

“Then no time to waste, let's get what we want and take our leave” Said Xuan ping.

The three went straight to the bartender, Xiao Feng was about to order for at least a drink but was tapped out by mu fenshang.

“Once you scatter the order, we won't be able to leave here with any information”.

Good day, We would love to drink with the holy girl.

The bartender looked at the three of them as if scanning their information and expressions. “What type of drink would you like?”.

“We would love to drink until stupor on the red wine”.

[What! The bartender looked at them, this time around he felt he couldn't handle this type of customer].

The name of the pavilion is called “serendipity” their public opinion is that, they are nothing but a fun house, but in secret they trade information for money and sure the level of information they trade has levels.

They have three levels of information, white level (this level of information is common), red level (this information is usually referred to as death level), black level (this information is called corpse level, as it may lead to mass annihilation).

“Please, follow me”.

Xuan ping, Xiao Feng and Mu fenshang followed the bartender as they began to walk through different rooms, and it finally took them fifteen minutes to get to where the leader sat.

The bartender got close to the person putting on black and the face covered with a veil and whispered something into the person's ear, but one thing was certain, the person was a lady.

“Ok, you can take your leave” The lady ordered.

It seems I have an essential guest today, by the way, I received your entry, what information about the red level zone would you like to know?

Before we trade, there is a rule, payment comes first and since you know about this place, I guess you must know the amount for a red level information.

Mu fenshang dropped a bag filled with ten thousand gold on the table and from there henceforth, he began straightforward.

“What is the relationship between the Netherworld sect and the Mu family?”.

Hmm… The Mu family is nothing more than a stepping stone for their supreme elder to reach the supreme realm.

“Explain better, I'm not paying this huge amount of money just to hear a side story” Mu fenshang was already getting pissed as he grits his teeth.

“Do you mind telling your companion to calm down” She looked at Xuan and Xiao… “Or are you by chance a member of the Mu family?”. The lady leaned towards Mu fenshang as she stared deeply at him.

“As expected, you are trying to fish out information from us, right?” Xiao feng asked.

“What do you mean by that?”.

“No need for that, just provide us the information we paid for?”.

The Mu family once obtained a divine manual, although it is incomplete, and it came alongside a sword.

And now it seems the supreme elder of the Netherworld sect got his hand on the information and was looking for all means to get both the manual and the sword.

Not long after, the patriarch of the Mu family kicked the dust. Therefore, there would be a ritual to choose the next head, but the first son was normally meant to be chosen, but his stepmother swept all his supporters, but that wasn't still enough.

She then colluded with the Netherworld sect and their trade goes thus…

She helps the supreme elder to find the incomplete divine manual and sword, while he helps to reinstate her son as the next patriarch while killing the first son.

“What!” Mu fenshang was in pain as he heard his death planned out, the only thing holding them back now is the incomplete divine manual they are yet to lay their hands on.

[So things are even worse than I had thought]

While on the other, Xuan ping and Xiao feng, their senses became seriously heightened as they heard a supreme making a move on a small family all for a divine manual.

[Power of divine grade manuals]

“What if the divine manual was complete?” Xuan ping asked.

“The Mu family would have longed been erased from the surface of the earth”.

The three felt a shiver of fear ran through their spines.

[After hearing all this, would brother Xuan ping and Xiao feng be willing to help me, the matter seems dangerous than I thought.]

Obviously, they knew what Mu fenshang was thinking as he grits in pain, they then patted his back.

“I would advise you kids to stay out of the matter, you would only be trapped in the lions' den”.

“What!” They both released their QI to the brim, for the first time they felt really pissed, no matter how precious a divine grade manual is, so this is the reason master asked us not to ever reveal the fact that we have a divine grade manual in our possession.

After realizing what they had done, they stopped their nuisance act and finally concealed their QI again.

After leaving their sect, they finally broke one of their master's warnings.

The lady who thought they were just young men that are filled in the pocket enough to buy a red level information began to be on guard.

“Honestly, this is the first time I would be feeling insecure from two kids”. She thought.

Even Mu fenshang was perplexed at the level of cultivation his brothers had... now going back, “It seems I saved those bandits”.

He began to feel happy all of a sudden, “I have been moving around with monsters”.

“We have one more question” Xiao was serious this time.

“I hope you haven't forgotten the rules”

“Brother Mu fenshang”

Ok, Mu fenshang dropped another bag filled with ten thousand golds.

“Do you have any information on emperor Ye cang'er?”.

Hmm, do you know there is another level above corpse? The information you want can only be gotten in the upper realm.

And information like that can only be exchanged with something of the same value.

“I hope I answered all your questions? Escort the guest out”.

After the three left the pavilion, Mu tiaxing had been doubting whether he should ask what was on his mind, but he wanted to avoid annoying Xiao feng.

“Even the way you are looking has sold you out already… Ask your question” Said Xuan ping.

“Who is that emperor whose information exceeds corpse level?”.

“That is our foe” Said Xiao Feng. Knowing a little won't hurt you, since we used your money without gaining any information.

“Now, I'm more curious about your identity, but I won't probe any further”.

“Yeah, that would be better for you” Said Xiao feng.

“Senior brother…”.

“Yes, I know,” Xiao feng replied.

“Brother Xuan ping, what is going on?” Mu tianxing asked.

“You don't have to worry much, but we are being tailed”.

After hearing what Xuan ping said, that was when began to get worried… “Is it people from stepmother or the serendipity?” Mu asked.

“Both”.

“What! We are being tailed from both sides, knowing them well, they won't send someone weaker than you guys”.

“Yeah, we know that was a mistake from our sides. Therefore, we are going to amend things” Said Xuan ping.

And how do you intend on doing it? Mu tianxing asked.

“How else do you expect us to amend that? Of course, by facing them head on”.

Hold on, brothers, I don't really buy the idea of fighting them.

“Mu tianxing, please be free with us, we are brothers already,” Said Xiao feng.

“Thank you brother Xiao” Said Mu tianxing as he blushed.

“Yeah, that aside, do you have any other suggestions apart from facing them head on” Xuan ping asked.

“I don't really have any idea, but what if they are not here for the purpose we think they are here for? The serendipity pavilion, that is, I can't trust stepmothers motive”.

“Hmm”.

…

The leader of the group putting on black clothing's with their faces all covered with veil, puts a stop to his members as he raised his hands.

“Group leader, do you think they noticed us?”.

“No, I doubt, since we have been moving with care”.

“You foolish! We have been on their trails ever since they left the clan, is it now they would notice?”.

“I think you should put a stop to that, how many times would I warn you to always focus solely whenever you are on a mission, Do you think you can handle lady Mu if we fail this mission?”.

“Sorry boss”.

As the three further continued on their journey with the spy group still on their trail, although the group from the serendipity pavilion had to withdraw due to some unforeseen circumstances.

“Damn! This is the wrong time to get drenched by rain” Mu tianxing began more nervous as the downpour began to get more intense.

In a small hut, there was a man who sat with a domineering intent, immediately they both knew this was not someone they could both fight and win together.

What was more shocking was the fact that he was slowly using the flutes' melody to prevent from getting close to the hut he sat in.

The melodic aura released by the man was soothing and sharp at the same time, it felt as if the aura could detect intentions, the three had no choice but to try their luck since they wanted to avoid getting totally drench by the rain.

Xuan ping, Xiao feng and Mu tianxing got closer and bowed in front of the hut, not daring to move forward.

“No need for courtesy, the hut can still accompany three more people” The man said gently as he continued playing his flute

[This is almost similar to the aura released by master, Xuan ping and Xiao feng thought… Who the heck is this man?]

“I hope you haven't brought this flies along to disturb my peace?” The mysterious man said.

“Flies?” They acted as if they didn't know what exactly he was talking about.

“So you are saying you don't know you have people on your tails despite being this… or do you think I won't see through your concealed techniques, well, you've got a nice master I'll say”.

Xuan ping and Xiao feng went on guard after hearing what the man had just said because no one has ever seen through master's QI concealment techniques.

[Who the heck is this man?]

“Scram!” The mysterious man shouted.

The sound of people screaming in pain were heard, rustling of leaves were also heard as they all escaped for their lives.

[Now we are the only ones Left, they both thought].

A member of the Mu clan, and two young fellow with outstanding talents in cultivation in whom I can sense the forbidden techniques from.

He had finally hit the spot, Xuan ping grabbed unto mu tianxing left shoulder while Xiao feng grabbed unto his right shoulder, in one accord they flew out of the man's attack range.

“Who are you, mister? And what do you mean by forbidden technique?“ Xiao feng asked.

“Hmm, nice reaction you got there you both and by the way, it was nice meeting the users of The Heaven defying law, Heaven secret movement, Heaven sword play and Heaven slaying slash”, …. I still remember, and yeah, don't worry your friend can't hear any of our discussion, I sealed him before you guys carried him away.

What! Then they realized the Mu tianxing they held on to was gone, only the dummy Mu tianxing was left.

“Xuan ping, you really are the exact replica of uncle”.

“Now, I'm really curious about who you are,” Said Xuan ping without showing any fear again.

“Hmm, you want to know? But I would rather not tell you”.

Xiao feng and Xuan ping became silent as they kept looking at him without knowing exactly what to tell.

“Hmm, you guys are not fun at all” He removed the body shifting technique… My name is Ye fan, he smiled.

“He is even younger than we thought”

“Who were you referring to as uncle?” Xiao feng asked.

“Oh, that, your father of course, 'Xuan Yuan' ” He bent his head and looked at the both of them, you guys seem strong but in reality you are still too weak.

I have advice for you guys, if you want to ever have the chance to beat My uncle 'Ye Cang'er', you guys will need real life combat experience… find and defeat people far stronger than you.

“Oh… the rain has even stopped, remember to find me whenever you require my help, bye” Ye fan said as he flew away without been seen in sight again.

After Ye fan left, Mu tianxing finally came back to his senses, he was perplexed as he could not remember anything from the time they sat in the hut with the mysterious man.

Whereas, Xuan ping and Xiao feng were totally bothered by something else, but they were a bit relaxed knowing he is not an enemy.

“Wait, damn! How can I forget something as critical as that, ye fan, the son of emperor Ye Bai Yi"?

The person in whom I am to be his left hand.
