Chapter 285 The Eternal City is About to Become a Place of Trouble

"At home." As soon as the woman finished speaking, a young man's voice rang out from inside the house. It was so clear, but the maids guarding outside didn't hear it at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly appeared.

He was a very young man with handsome features and golden runes on his face, which added a touch of divine superiority to his good looks.

The woman looked at the person who appeared without any surprise and said calmly, "If there's nothing else, I have to go now." After saying that, she turned to leave.

"Tianyue." Seeing that the man was about to leave, the man called out, "Luo Xu is alright, but if you want the plan to be executed successfully, I suggest you start it immediately."

Upon hearing this, Tianyue abruptly turned to look at the man: "Do you know what you're saying?"

"There's still a month until the sacrificial ceremony begins. If we activate it now, whose power will we draw upon?" Tianyue asked. "Without sufficient power, how will you take me back?"

The man looked at Tianyue, thinking of the woman he had met earlier that day, and frowned: "If we delay any longer, the plan will not be able to proceed successfully."

"Shi Liu, didn't we have everything planned out?" Tian Yue asked, puzzled. "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Shi Liu looked at Tian Yue: "I have met my master."

Tianyue was startled: "Your master?"

Before Shi Liu could answer, Tian Yue continued, "Don't you have no memories of the past? How do you know who your master is?"

"Because of power." Shi Liu was very fast. It only took him a blink of an eye to get from Eternal Mountain to that alley in the city. So when he got there and clearly felt the power coming from Ling Yi, Shi Liu almost fled in panic.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go back, but that he still had things to finish.

If it weren't for Tianyue's situation, he would have gone straight back upon meeting Lingyi.

“Tianyue, she has found me. She will be here soon. We don’t have much time.” Shi Liu looked at Tianyue: “Although there is still a month before the sacrificial ceremony, with your current status in the Chu family, it is no problem for the Chu family to invite those people in advance.”

Tianyue pursed her lips and remained silent.

She had planned everything perfectly and made thorough preparations, but now the appearance of the Time Flow Master has brought her plans forward.

“We can go back earlier.” Tianyue looked at Shiliu, “But if we do that, there will be too few people and not enough strength. Will I really be able to go back?”

Shi Liu said, "I will do my best to send you back."

"Okay." Tianyue nodded: "It's better to have risks than for the plan to fail."

Shi Liu nodded: "That's right."

Tianyue looked at Shiliu, her eyes flashing slightly: "Inviting those people to come up the mountain ahead of time will also take time. If your master comes looking for you during this period, please hold on for a while and do not go with her immediately."

Shi Liu nodded: "Okay."

"Go back and rest." Tianyue walked out of the house. "I'm going to my father's place to ask him to invite them."

"Hmm," Shi Liu responded, then disappeared from the room.

...

The defensive barrier of Eternal Mountain was opened, inviting everyone to enter Eternal Mountain ahead of schedule. When this news spread, the people were surprised, while the people from the major forces in the city investigated immediately.

After confirming that Eternal Mountain had simply opened ahead of schedule and there was nothing else amiss, the major powers immediately led their people to Eternal Mountain, while the cultivators who had arrived from other places earlier also left the inn and headed towards Eternal Mountain.

Upon hearing the news, Little Mule, who was still working at the inn, asked the innkeeper for leave and returned home as quickly as possible to tell Ling Yi and the others.

After hearing what the little mule said, Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi, who in turn looked at the little mule and asked, "Start it ahead of schedule?"

The little mule nodded.

Ling Yi smiled and asked, "Has this ever been activated ahead of schedule in the past?"

“This…” The little mule scratched his head: “I’m only seventeen this year, and I’ve only experienced this once. I don’t know about the past.”

"It's alright." Ling Yi didn't ask any more questions, but simply said, "Now that it's open, let's go."

"Wait for me a moment." After saying that, the little mule ran into his room and came out a while later, handing a money bag to the group: "Although I wanted to make money off you, you only stayed for one day, so the rest should be returned to you."

Ye Qingshuang paid the money, so naturally she should make the decision; no one else spoke up.

Ye Qingshuang didn't take it: "You keep it." After saying that, she looked at Ling Yi: "Let's go."

"Hmm." The group responded and then walked out of the mansion.

"Miss Ye." Just as the group was about to leave, Little Mule's mother came over, and Little Mule quickly stepped forward to help her up.

Ye Qingshuang turned to look at the woman: "Is something the matter?"

The woman looked at Ye Qingshuang, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I heard from Xiao Luo that you want to go to Eternal Mountain, but there are beasts there, so it would be better if you didn't go."

Ling Yi looked at the woman without saying a word.

First, the Time-Suppressing Artifact appeared in the courtyard at the end of the alley; then, the Eternal Mountain's defenses were activated ahead of schedule; and now, a woman is telling them not to go there...

Ling Yi suspected something might happen to Eternal Mountain because of the abnormality of the Time-Suppressing Artifact. The woman's words made Ling Yi even more certain. However, Ling Yi was a little curious about the relationship between this woman and the boy named Xiao Luo and the Time-Suppressing Artifact.

"Don't worry, ma'am, we have some cultivation, we're not afraid of beasts," Ye Qingshuang replied with a smile before leaving again.

The woman watched the group leave, and although she felt bad, she ultimately didn't say anything more.

They gave Xiao Luo a lot of money so that she could take her to see a doctor. They were good people, and she couldn't bear to see them get involved. But if she said too much, it might ruin her young lady's plans, and she would be in pain.

“Mother, judging from their clothes, we know they are not ordinary people, so there’s no need to worry.” Little Mule said, helping his mother into the room. “Mother, you should go back to your room and rest. I need to go back to the inn later.”

"Don't go back," the woman said. "Mother wants to go back to Qimeng."

"Now?" The little mule was a little surprised. "Mother, you're not feeling well. Can we go back when you're feeling better?"

The woman shook her head: "You said it yourself, my health is not good. I'm afraid if I don't go back now, I won't have the chance to go back again."

"Mother, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Luo deliberately put on a stern face when she heard this: "Your illness will definitely get better. If Mother wants to go back to Qimeng, we will go back."

"In that case, let's go and prepare." The woman looked up at the sky. "The sooner we get back, the happier Mother will be."

The little mule was about to say there was no rush, but upon hearing this, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue: "Mother, I'll go prepare right away, wait for me."

"Yes." The woman nodded.

The Eternal City is about to become a place of trouble, so the sooner we leave, the better. As for Miss... she had tried to persuade her, but Miss's mind had not changed. So she wished Miss all the best in what she wanted to do.
