Chapter 1258: Chapter 1262: Seeking Refuge

It’s this very minor character with a past grievance who is now the God of the Bright Moon in Jiaoxiu Sky City, so what level might those who once contended with me at the pinnacle of the heavens be in this Nine Heavens Wilderness now??

All of a sudden, Zhu Minglang understood why the Sword Spirit Dragon had become the rotational sun of Jun Tian!

A hundred years, indeed anything could happen!

Alas, why can’t I remember anything?

This experience at the Dragon Gate was like an incredibly long dream, where upon waking you have a general fuzzy impression, but the specific details just elude your memory.

After all, whose deity did I offend, which female Immortal Respect did I tease, and which Royal God did I chop…

…

Cao Juan and Lu Kuan have a relative in Jiaoxiu Sky City, and Zhu Minglang took them to visit their relative’s clan, as Lu Kuan needed some special medicinal herbs to help him through this crisis.

Upon entering Jiaoxiu Sky City, the mountains and ridges here are distributed one by one, with Spirit Towns on the mountains and ridges, and Human Cities below them. Each Spirit Town is connected to several Human Cities, forming a bustling and beautiful scene both above and below the mountains.

Jiaoxiu Sky City is also clearly class-defined, those with power, background, and belonging to God Sects and Immortal Clans basically live on the mountains and ridges. Those of lower status, such as Cultivators and commoners, live beneath the mountains and ridges, displaying a thick scent of worldly life in the vast valleys and basin landscapes.

Cao Juan’s sister married into the Nie Mountain Immortal Clan, and they traveled thousands of miles from Li Prefecture to reach this Jiaoxiu Sky City. On one hand, it was for the sake of experiencing dragon taming, and on the other hand, it was to see this sister whom they hadn’t seen for nearly ten years.

Only, they did not expect to encounter disaster while passing through Snow Town.

Every place has its own rules and laws, and Cao Juan and Lu Kuan could hardly be called worldly. Moreover, this was their first time stepping into Jiaoxiu Sky City…

On one hand, in terms of strength and cultivation base, as Monarch Level practitioners, they would be considered at the lower end within the entirety of Jiaoxiu Sky City. On the other hand, they had no background or patronage, the only deity they had probably ever met was Zhu Minglang.

Upon arrival at the Nie Mountain Immortal Clan, they reported their intentions, and the guard at the gate of the Spirit Town, having seen many such relatives come to seek support from the Immortal Clan, simply asked the three of them to wait.

After waiting for a while, a young girl came out and led the three of them into the heart of Nie Mountain Spirit Town.

In Nie Mountain Spirit Town, there were almost no ordinary people to be seen, mostly Deities and Cultivators.

Here, the Spiritual Energy was abundant, the sunlight shone generously, and the natural structure of the mountain town was a vast Spirit-Energy Reservoir. Stepping into Nie Mountain Spirit Town, Zhu Minglang could feel the concentration of Spiritual Energy multiple times denser than outside.

Living in such a place, even lying down to sleep wouldn’t make one’s cultivation base too inferior.

They arrived at a manor within the Spirit Town, and a woman of stunning beauty came forward, smiling warmly to greet Cao Juan and Lu Kuan.

Standing behind the woman was a tall, indifferent man, likely the woman’s husband.

“It’s been ten years, sister, we haven’t seen each other for a whole decade… Eh, brother-in-law, what’s with that pale face? What happened to you?” Cao Ying asked in surprise, looking at Lu Kuan.

Zhu Minglang supported Lu Kuan, who indeed had his own unspoken troubles, now even normal walking was a struggle for him.

“We encountered some trouble, we’ll talk about it in detail later,” Cao Juan said with a bitter tone.

“Come in and rest first, you must be tired… And this young man, is he your attendant?”

“No, no, no, he’s… he’s our cousin, he was only five or six years old when you left the Cao family,” Cao Juan quickly explained.

“Oh, it’s him, how come he has become so handsome? He used to be awkwardly cute with buck teeth. Come on in, little cousin.” Cao Ying was extremely enthusiastic and gentle, similar in temperament to Cao Juan.

Zhu Minglang used his Divine Sense to do a quick check and found that Cao Ying was a Demi-god Level cultivator, while her husband, standing there like a rock of icy stone, was a Godly Realm cultivator and even a God-Mortal at the God-lord Level.

Inside the mansion, there were maids, stewards, and Attendants, a situation not much different from some of the Royal Family members within the palace, except that the Attendants had higher cultivation bases.

A God-level powerhouse in Human City was already a presence higher than an emperor. However, currently, the emperors of the human world generally had God Sects and Immortal Clans backing them up, and those who could become emperors and Royal Family members also had connections with these sects and clans.

“My husband serves the Heroic Moon God and is a Sword God,” said Cao Ying.

“I have heard much about you. My sister often mentions you in her letters,” Cao Juan said respectfully.

“As long as you don’t cause me any trouble, you can stay here for a few more days,” said Nie Heng.

After saying that, Nie Heng left. Clearly, this Godly-Lord didn’t have much time or patience to entertain these relatives who had come from afar.

In fact, it was quite good of him to meet them at all. Most deities would have their subordinates arrange accommodation and then not care further, possibly not recognizing or remembering them even if they lived in their mansion for many years.

Regardless, they finally had a place to stay.

The Spiritual Energy here was very abundant and very suitable for Lu Kuan’s healing. Next, they would look for some Divine Pills and Wonderful Drugs to replenish the vital energy damaged when the soul shattered, so he could recover and become a normal person.

For them now, being able to live as ordinary people and not die early in their forties or fifties was already quite fortunate.

The Bright Moon God Bin Chou was excessively cruel in his actions, and Zhu Minglang would slowly settle this debt with him!

“Are you sure it’s alright?” Cao Juan was still somewhat worried.

What she feared the most was not only their own safety but whether seeking refuge with her sister would bring misfortune to her family as well.

“It’s fine. Since this place is under the jurisdiction of the Heroic Moon God, even the God of the Bright Moon wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. There are some constraints even between gods, and blatant violence would not benefit them… You and Brother Lu should focus on healing. Give me some time, and I will get justice for you,” Zhu Minglang said.

“No, no need, we are already very grateful to be alive, thanks to you. You are a deity sent by the heavens to save us, a couple. Getting us here safely is already more than we could ask for,” Cao Juan quickly shook her head.

What was the Bright Moon God?

The bright moon in the sky, its glow shining upon Jun Tian.

How could Cao Juan dare to hope for retribution against such a being??

Now, she only acknowledged her misfortune and hoped that she and her husband could live a peaceful life.

Zhu Minglang did not say anymore.

To them, the Bright Moon God was indeed an existence on par with the heavens, and even the deity that was the husband of his own sister, Cao Ying, was someone they looked up to and did not dare offend. Even in their own sister’s home, the couple lived cautiously, not daring to disturb in the slightest.

Zhu Minglang didn’t trust that executioner-looking man, so he thought it would be better to live with them until things were resolved.

Besides, he was not very familiar with Jiaoxiu Sky City, so moving into Nie Mountain Spirit Town under the identity of Cao Juan’s cousin was also a good choice.

Little Jiuwei and the Chongwang Dragon both needed to continue their advancement and transformation. It wouldn’t be too late to head to Jun Tian Sky Capital after their strength had improved significantly.
