Soaring of Galaxia
chapter-459

Rows of martial artist patrolled the area while wearing the same uniforms.

The head martial artist waved the long whip in his hand and shouted: "All of you freelance martial artists, hurry and find an inn to stay. In the next three days, don't come out onto the streets if you have no business. The Orderly Mountain Prefecture capital city will implement semi martial-law mode. If you don't want any trouble, either leave the city quickly or find a place to stay. Those who belongs to sects, go home to train. Don't wander on this street!"

These warriors were the official army of the Orderly Mountain Prefecture. They were extremely powerful and their individual power were tremendously shocking. Their team combat ability was even more well trained and much more valiant than these freelance martial artists.

Thus, despite feeling unhappy at these loud scoldings, these freelance martial artists did not dare to defy them and no one dared to voice their complaints.

They knew that at this time, whoever dared to speak up would be joking with their life. These official knights were famous for being unreasonable. Arguing back would mean finding your own death.

Everyone dispersed in a swarm.

Of course, Qin Wushuang would not provoke unnecessary troubles as he left towards the inner city. Along the way, he saw that these official warriors patrolled everywhere.

These people kept strutting around and lording it everywhere. Wherever they walked, dogs and chickens would leap away.

"Darn it, this Orderly Mountain Prefecture capital city possesses an imposing manner of scale. However, their way of doing things is nothing special. These people dressed in a body of artificial skin and are showing off their power as if they are some great people. Shameless!"

Lone seemed like an angry youth as he could not help but whisper something when he saw something he disliked.

Bao Bao did not find it strange: "Second, such things are not rare at all. I see that usually, these people would not act this way. Or else, whenever someone comes to this capital city, I am afraid they would not even see a ghost. They are doing it this way because some major figure must be coming to this Orderly Mountain Prefecture."

Still Bao Bao had a much more sophisticated mind. Qin Wushuang nodded with a smile: "That's right."

Qin Wushuang was most familiar with this scene. In his former world, he had seen too many similar scenes. Whenever someone with some reputation came to a lower prefecture, would they not stir up some commotion?

After having found an inn, these three checked in. This inn was located in the golden district. Qin Wushuang picked the highest floor, which was a few more times pricier.

However, you would get what you paid. Since this cost much more, naturally the service and treatment they received was higher.

As soon as they entered this inn, it was completely different that those little inns from the state city.

At nighttime, Bao Bao and Lone came to visit Qin Wushuang's room as usual. Bao Bao felt bored: "It's so boring, what is this prefecture doing! They even imposed martial law on the city. If I had known, then we should have went around this place."

"By the way, Boss, how major do you think the person that is coming?"

Qin Wushuang shrugged and smiled bitterly: "I don't know about this. I am rather curious about how powerful this major figure is and why he has come here?"

"Boss, could it be that you are still worried about the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan?" Lone asked.

Qin Wushuang shook his head and gave a long sigh: "Naturally, the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan had their own fate. I helped them at the appropriate time. In the future, whether they can still come out unscathed, it would depend on their own good luck. This arriving major figure should not be much related to the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan."

"Why do you say so?"

"The people that were dealing with the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan must be those hostile powerhouses against the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan. If it were them coming, for sure they would not have kept a high-profile. The higher-profile they keep, wouldn't they be reminding the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan to make preparations? I don't think they would be that stupid."

"Ha ha, you are right." Bao Bao scratched his head, "Ah, I will not waste my energy thinking about it. It will come eventually. By that time, we will just watch the show."

"Boss, could it be someone from the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect?" Lone asked suspiciously.

"It's possible." Qin Wushuang didn't care.

"It could not be the Honored Daoist warrior coming from the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect?" Bao Bao blinked his eyes.

However, Lone analyzed: "It's reasonable to say that the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect is only a second rate powerhouse in the Xuan Yuan Mound. Doesn't the Orderly Mountain Prefecture also have the Dark Green Cloud Daoist sect that is close to second rate?"

Bao Bao immediately said: "The Dark Green Cloud Daoist sect is only positioned between the third and second rate. They are only close to second rate. However, the Silver Monkey King had mentioned that the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect is above average among the second rate powerhouses. They are a strong existence close to the first-rate!"

"It seems that the division of powerhouses in the Xuan Yuan Mound is mysterious. I am afraid that only those first rate sects are the unquestionable top existence, right." Lone sighed with affection.

After staying the night at the inn, Qin Wushuang did not check out of the room on the next day. They continued to stay at the inn. Only, they still could go out onto the streets during the day. Of course, there were time limits.

As soon as it reached nighttime, martial law would come into full effect.

On the third day, suddenly, the city streets of the Orderly Mountain Prefecture started to become busy with activity. However, these lively activities were conducted by officials.

Amid of the sounds of gongs and drums, the atmosphere of the Orderly Mountain Prefecture capital city started to become lively.

"He's here, a major figure has come!"

"Yes, someone had apparently seen our own Prefecture Lord went to welcome him."

"Tsk tsk, our Orderly Mountain Prefecture is the most remote and desolate place in the Xuan Yuan Mound. I wonder which major figure had come to give us so much honor."

…

Outside the city gate, the Prefecture Lord brought large group of subordinates and all reputable people from the capital city to wait.

Outside the official road, a group of Orderly Mountain official riders opened the path. Following them, there were only three or four people. One of them, a middle-aged man, had a graceful purple beard and a clear, yet unusual appearance. As he walked, he gave people an imposing feeling.

However, from the complexion of this person, there seemed to be some unnoticeable depression. Although he had travelled a long distance, they did not appear to be travel-worn. However, that mental-knot that furrowed his brows could not help but make one wonder whether he had encountered some difficult matters.

When this person saw the large group of people gathered outside the city gate, he knew that these were formalities conducted by the people of the Orderly Mountain Prefecture and did not show any joy. Rather, he shook his head inwardly with a bitter smile. Apparently, he was not content to see such an unnecessarily grand welcome.

"He's here, here." Xie Sancai, the Orderly Mountain Prefecture Lord revealed a joyous expression and immediately approached with a laugh. He seemed to have seen an old friend that was separated for many years with his extreme friendliness, "We are honored by your presence, Lord Mu Rong. Please excuse me for not going out to meet with you."

Although this Xie Sancai, being the Lord of a prefecture was not a first rate figure in the Xuan Yuan Mound, he was close to those top-tier existences.

Regardless of his strength or intelligence, this person was much higher than ordinary people. Inside his heart, there was a clear-cut and sophisticated account book. It written in it what kind of people he could not offend or could not afford to suck up to at the Xuan Yuan Mound. He knew what kind of figures he could not offend, but can fawn up to, what kind of figure to not offend, no need to fawn up, but can make friends…

In his account book, the one that had come today belonged to a figure that he could not offend, but he could fawn upon. Thus, in the eyes of Xie Sancai, this Lord Mu Rong was not someone that existed at the peak.

The most top-tier were the people that Xie San Cai could not offend nor fawn upon. For such figures, Xie Sancai would not think twice about them.

However, since this Lord Mu Rong was someone he could curry favor with, he was unusually meticulous. All the hard work he had done was to curry favor from this figure.

The middle-aged man with the purple beard was the number one figure of the major powerhouse, Floating Snow House of the Xuan Yuan Mound, Mu Rong Qianji. This person, besides being the head of the Floating Snow House, had another identity as the father of Miss Mu Rong who was acquainted with Qin Wushuang. Of course, at this moment, Qin Wushuang would have no idea.

He would not have known that this major figure that come to the Orderly Mountain Prefecture would be deeply related to his future.

Seeing Xie Sancai approaching with his large group of people, Mu Rong Qianji stopped his footsteps and said with a smile: "Prefecture Lord Xie is making such a big fuss, I do rather feel ashamed."

"What are you saying, Lord Mu Rong?" Xie Sancai was overwhelmed by the favor from a superior and extended his hand to shake Mu Rong Qinji's with affection, "To have someone like Lord Mu Rong come to my remote and desolate Orderly Mountain Prefecture, I have been excited for a number of days."

"You sure knows how to joke. This time, I did not plan to disturb your peace by passing through here. However, I do worry about my daughter's whereabouts, and I have come to ask around."

Immediately, an extremely regretful expression emerged on Xie Sancai's face. He said with a tone as if he was also feeling anxious for Lord Mu Rong: "I also heard that Miss Mu Rong left home to have a change of scenery and has not returned home for a few years. Six month ago, there was a rumor that someone had seen Miss Mu Rong at the Dispersed Praying Mountain. And someone had said that she was in the human countries. The innumerable mountains and distance posed too great an obstacle, otherwise, I would have went to sent you the information myself."

"Ah, I have spoiled my willful daughter too much." Mu Rong Qianji gave a long sigh. Despite speaking these words, besides care from his tone, there were not much blame.

Xie Sancai observed and knew Mu Rong Qian Ji loved his precious daughter very much and always spoiled her as his favourite.

Immediately, he said: "Lord Mu Rong, I think that your daughter will return after spending some time having a change of pace. I didn't know that you had come yourself to search for her. Please don't hesitate to ask if I can be of any help."

Indeed, Mu Rong Qianji may need the help of this local hegemon of a prefecture. Or else, he would never have come to this Orderly Mountain capital city to meet with this Xie Sancai.

Seeing him fall into a silence, Xie Sancai solicitously offered his flatteries: "It's not me bragging, at the Orderly Mountain Prefecture, if your daughter is to pass through here, I will know about it. Lord, if I can be any help, please don't hesitate. Although the Orderly Mountain Prefecture is ten thousand crags and torrents away from the Floating Snow House, I have always admired you, Lord Mu Rong."

Mu Rong Qianji knew that this Xie Sancai was currying favor to him. However, because of his search for his daughter, he had to follow his tone and said with courtesy: "In that case, thank you, Prefecture Lord."

"Not at all. Ha ha, let's enter the city first. The Orderly Mountain capital city is rather simple and crude, please don't feel offended, Lord Mu Rong."

"Of course not." Mu Rong Qianji smiled and looked around while trying to show that he was admiring it all sincerely.
