Mo Tiange flung her sleeves and left, and the five Foundation Building cultivators didn't chase after her.
"Senior Martial Brother, what should we do?" the Foundation Building cultivator asked anxiously.
Although he was full of momentum just now, now that Mo Tiange flung her sleeves and left, he was worried.
The leader frowned and said angrily, "How would I know?"
Tianyan Sect was indeed the biggest cultivation group on North Pole Island, but they were only Foundation Building cultivators and didn't have high-level cultivator seniors. Even if they suffered losses in front of a Core Formation cultivator, no one would stand up for them. On the contrary, their masters and seniors would think they didn't do their job well. After all, they were the ones who offended the other party with their words first.
Thinking of this, this "Senior Martial Brother" had a headache.
"Forget it, let's go back first."
In the end, he said, "The thing we lost this time is very important, so the martial uncles in the sect will definitely intervene. When we go back, we just need to report it honestly. At worst, we'll just be punished."
"Yes."
The others were all dejected. It was already bad luck for them to lose something when they were in charge of guarding the place. They wanted to chase the person back to make up for their mistake, but they also caused this kind of trouble. With the Sect Head's strict management, they didn't know how heavy the punishment would be.
Mo Tiange didn't mention these people. After flying for a while, she finally stopped.
There was no anger on her face, only confusion.
From the words of these Foundation Building cultivators just now, she deduced what happened. Someone must've stolen some kind of treasure from the Jade Qilin Pavilion just now. They chased after the thief, only to discover that she was acting suspiciously, so they thought she was the thief who stole the treasure.
This was interesting. Since they regarded her as the thief who stole the treasure, it showed that her figure and cultivation level were similar to the thief's. Moreover, the time when the treasure was stolen should be when she left Jade Qilin Pavilion.
In addition, as soon as she spoke, these Foundation Building cultivators said her accent was very similar to the thief's …
She narrowed her eyes and remembered the figure she saw in Jade Qilin Pavilion that looked like Nie Wushang.
Although Nie Wushang didn't look like her, their figures were similar if they didn't look at their faces. Moreover, at that time, her cultivation level also seemed to be in the Foundation Building realm.
Most importantly, if that person was really Nie Wushang, they were both from the Celestial Pole, so to the people in Yunzhong, their accents were indeed similar.
Could it be that Nie Wushang really came to Yunzhong?
Once she thought of this possibility, Mo Tiange felt the situation was far from good.
If Nie Wushang came to Yunzhong, did she come alone or with her master, Master Song Feng?
What exactly did she steal from the Jade Qilin Pavilion?
From the looks of these five Foundation Building cultivators, she must have stolen something extraordinary.
She was Master Song Feng's disciple, so she presumably didn't lack spirit stones. If she could buy it, why did she have to steal it?
Mo Tiange rubbed her forehead. She had a terrible headache.
Why was she so unlucky?
He was walking on his own path and did not meddle in other people's business, yet he was dragged into a quarrel again.
Regardless of whether her guess was right or not, whether that person was Nie Wushang or not, she was already inevitably dragged into this matter.
Just now, he didn't treat those Foundation Establishment cultivators nicely because of their arrogant attitude.
The rule of the cultivation world was that the strong were respected. She was a Core Formation cultivator, so berating several Foundation Building cultivators naturally wasn't a problem. Even if these people were disciples of Tianyan Sect, the number one cultivation group on North Pole Island, it was still the same.
However, that was all he could do.
She was now on North Pole Island. As long as these people reported this matter, her whereabouts should be found very quickly. Due to her identity as a Core Formation cultivator, Tianyan Sect's Core Formation cultivators would come out. At that time, she couldn't not give them any face like she did now.
In any case, a powerful dragon couldn't suppress a local snake. Besides, Tianyan Sect had two Nascent Soul cultivators, so she couldn't really fall out with them.
She originally wanted to go to the docks to see how Yunzhong's cultivators hunted sea beasts and chat with them to learn more about Yunzhong. But now, she was no longer in the mood, so she took a detour and simply went back to the inn.
Ayin was astonished to see her coming back so quickly.
She had just arrived, but this fairy already came back. Sure enough, she was a powerful cultivator!
Mo Tiange didn't feel like explaining to her. Before she went back to the cultivation room, she told her, "In the next few days, if I have visitors, just call me directly in the courtyard."
Ayin was baffled. This fairy had lived here for more than half a month and hadn't even left the door. No matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like she was visiting a friend. This time, she just went out for a trip, but she mentioned visitors. Ayin really didn't understand what was going on.
However, she was only a maid hired by the inn to serve cultivators, so she wasn't qualified to ask why, so she just answered, "Yes."
Mo Tiange furrowed her brows, stepped into the cultivation room, opened the defensive formation, and entered the Virtual Sky World.
Inside the Virtual Sky World, everything was normal. Feifei and Xiaohuo were playing, and Xiaofan was cultivating in the stream.
Compared to those two, Xiaofan not only had human-like intelligence, but its behavior was also more human-like.
Although it was still a child among demonic beasts, it was very fanatical about cultivation. After entering the Virtual Sky World, it was even more like a fish in water.
At this thought, Mo Tiange's mind wandered.
Qin Xi wasn't very used to the environment of the Virtual Sky World, but her three spiritual beasts didn't have this problem. Perhaps it was because demonic beasts' cultivation method was closer to instinct?
Unfortunately, she couldn't use demonic beasts' cultivation method for reference. Otherwise, she and Qin Xi wouldn't have to be separated.
The people from Tianyan Sect came faster than she expected.
In less than half a day, while Mo Tiange was meditating inside the Virtual Sky World with her eyes closed, she heard Ayin's voice from outside, telling her that there was a visitor.
Mo Tiange sighed, opened her eyes, and used her divine sense to order Xiaofan and Xiaohuo to come over.
"Master, is something the matter?"
Mo Tiange stroked Xiaohuo, who had thrown itself into her arms, then said to the two beasts, "It might be a bit troublesome. You two go into the spiritual beast bag first and follow me out."
"Oh." Xiaofan didn't ask anything. Seeing Mo Tiange open the spiritual beast bag, it very consciously went inside.
Xiaohuo, on the other hand, rolled several times unhappily before reluctantly entering the spiritual beast bag.
Mo Tiange put away the two spiritual beast bags and made sure all her magic weapons were in the most suitable places, ready to fight at any time. She didn't stay any longer. She went out of the Virtual Sky World, opened the restriction, and walked out.
"Fairy." Upon seeing her, Ayin stepped forward and bowed. "The guest is waiting in the hall."
Mo Tiange nodded with a smile then walked towards the small reception hall.
Ayin was well-trained, so she had already invited the guest into the hall and served them good tea.
Right now, the person sitting in the hall was an early stage Core Formation female cultivator. She had a head full of pearls and jade, and her clothes were layered with ornaments, looking incomparably gorgeous. Just by looking at her back, one would feel she had a threatening air of nobility.
Mo Tiange couldn't help but think of her master, Lord Daoist Jinghe. This style was really similar to her master's. If Lord Daoist Jinghe had the style of an incapable ruler, then this female cultivator had the style of an empress.
This female cultivator was leisurely drinking tea. When she sensed someone coming, she put down the teacup unhurriedly and raised her head to meet Mo Tiange's gaze.
At that moment, Mo Tiange couldn't help but be stunned.
This female cultivator was beautiful. She had a threatening air of immortality and was also noble and elegant. She was the kind of beauty Mo Tiange had never seen in the cultivation world. Compared with those fairies who looked as elegant as immortals but were in fact vulgar, although this female cultivator had secular magnificence, her temperament was even more detached from the secular world.
Upon seeing Mo Tiange, this female cultivator stood up and bowed to greet her. "I'm a cultivator from Tianyan Sect. My Daoist name is Chisu. Outsiders call me Madam Chisu out of courtesy. Greetings to Fellow Daoist."
Mo Tiange bowed to return the greeting. "Fellow Daoist Chisu is too polite. My surname is Mo, and my first name is Qingwei."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Qingwei."
Madam Chisu smiled and praised her neither hurriedly nor slowly. "Fellow Daoist Qingwei looks so young, but your cultivation level is already in the middle stage of the Core Formation realm. It's really shocking."
"Isn't Fellow Daoist Chisu also young and beautiful?
Why must you make fun of me? "Mo Tiange said faintly then called out to Madam Chisu." Fellow Daoist, please sit. "
Madam Chisu sat down with a smile then picked up her teacup again.
The two of them took the opportunity to drink tea while secretly sizing each other up.
Mo Tiange could see that although this Madam Chisu was only in the early stage of the Core Formation realm, her status in Tianyan Sect shouldn't be low. She had a graceful temperament, her every movement was calm and composed, and there was an indistinct might around her. Ordinary Core Formation cultivators didn't have this kind of might. Presumably, she held power in the sect to have this kind of momentum.
While Mo Tiange was sizing the other party up, Madam Chisu was also looking at her.
When she first saw Mo Tiange, astonishment flitted across her eyes.
Although many of the high-level female cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World retained their youthful beauty, in the eyes of experienced people, they would still be able to see the subtle differences.
However, this Core Formation female cultivator she'd never seen on North Pole Island seemed to be very young.
Suspicion arose in Madam Chisu's heart. Could it be that she was a disciple of some big cultivation group on the mainland?
With that thought in mind, Madam Chisu's eyes flickered. She asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qingwei, may I know where you're from and why did you come to North Pole Island?"
For cultivators, such a direct question was rather impolite, but when Madam Chisu said it with such a tone and expression, it made people feel that it was only natural.
Mo Tiange put down her teacup then said with a smile, "Forgive me, Fellow Daoist. I can't tell you my background in detail, but my purpose for coming here is ordinary. I just went out to travel and came here."
"Oh?" Madam Chisu raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Fellow Daoist, you're just traveling and not here to buy beast cores?"
Mo Tiange answered calmly, "If I see suitable beast cores, I'll naturally buy them. However, it doesn't matter if I can't buy them."
Upon hearing her answer, Madam Chisu smiled.
This kind of behavior was indeed like that of a cultivator from a big cultivation group. Only people like them wouldn't take a huge beast core market like North Pole Island seriously.
With that thought in mind, Madam Chisu said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Qingwei, I heard from the innkeeper just now that you claimed to be an individual cultivator and even suppressed your cultivation level, pretending to be a Foundation Building cultivator. May I know if there's any trouble you can't talk about?"
Mo Tiange smiled faintly. She stared at Madam Chisu but didn't say anything.
Under Mo Tiange's gaze, Madam Chisu gradually felt that her question was a bit inappropriate.
Since it was a trouble she couldn't talk about, how could she talk about it to an outsider?
"Fellow Daoist Chisu," Mo Tiange said.
"I don't like to be ostentatious, and I also don't like to talk about my master's background. I don't need to explain this to you, do I?"
Although Mo Tiange's current expression was smiling, how could a smart person like Madam Chisu not sense the warning in Mo Tiange's words?
This thought immediately emerged in Madam Chisu's mind that this woman wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Madam Chisu was about to speak, but Mo Tiange raised her hand to stop her. She dusted off her sleeves then said calmly, "I know Fellow Daoist's purpose for coming here.
Since Fellow Daoist treats me politely, and I'm not ungrateful, I'll explain it clearly to your group. "
