Aura

"What happened?" Even the old were confused, let alone the young.

They wondered what had caused such a loud rumble.

Even now the land had been shaken since that rumble.

Ming Ze who was originally upset that his battle was interrupted instantly forgot about the matter.

He gazed to the west with sharply narrowed eyes.

After that, a boundless aura emanated from there, it could be clearly felt by everyone as even the air became extremely heavy because of that aura.

'Master, this is the aura of a Second Stage False Immortal!' System suddenly spoke.

Despite having met three Third Stage False Immortals, Ming Ze was still very surprised by this aura because it was simply too powerful.

Of course, this was because the three men had deliberately held back their auras so that he didn't fully truly feel their auras.

The aura this time, on the other hand, was completely unleashed.

"Did a Mortal Immortal appear?" The old men wondered.

That was the designation for Second Stage False Immortals.

Because their strength was too great, many felt that they did not deserve to be called False Immortals. Hence, the word False was later changed to Mortal to mean that they were actually Immortals, just still Mortal, something that was also difficult to understand.

Third Stage False Immortals even had their own title, called Demi-Immortal.

"Someone just messaged me that this aura suddenly appeared above the skies of the capital of the Red Cloud Kingdom." Suddenly several people said similar things, enough to stir up the port city.

"Is this someone from the Hidden Heaven Temple, didn't that queen just kill their member?" Others began to speculate.

"It seems like it."

"Damn, they really sent a big figure, can the Red Cloud Kingdom handle it? They do have some ancestors, but has anyone managed to become a Mortal Immortal?"

In the end, it was a difficult level to reach. A Sect or Clan that produced one Immortal would not necessarily have someone who reached that level.

"The kingdom is in the most serious trouble right now. It's because the queen is their own fault. No, it's because they're too obedient to Young Master Ling."

"It's the same thing, but their reason is still a mystery until now. I heard that information about it is the most sought after even in other regions."

"..."

Only, not long after, the aura of the Mortal Immortal suddenly disappeared, turning the air calm again.

"What? Is it over?"

Confusion filled people's faces because everything was so short. There hadn't even been a fight yet.

Of course, there were many who expected a fight from a high-level cultivator because it would practically give people a lot of insight.

And now, they could only wait for news of what happened.

The curious Ming Ze pricked up his ears well, wanting to hear as well.

"The Red Cloud Empress has appeared and negotiated with the envoy from the temple. She authorized him to kill the queen and then expel the king and the first prince, Niu Di. They are no longer considered members of the kingdom and their actions in favor of Young Master Ling have nothing to do with the kingdom."

Within a short period of time, several people got the news.

And it was beyond all of their expectations.

The Empress had actually appeared again, even the fact that she was still alive was already very surprising.

Her choice was also considered unexpected.

The fact that the king who didn't appear in the event was also expelled left the crowd not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

As a man, he had to accept the effects of his wife and son's actions.

After that, there was another piece of news.

"The Empress actually accepted a genius from a small sect as her disciple. His name is Yun Ze."

That second piece of news was enough to amaze Ming Ze. He wondered if that man was the young man who gave the idea to make him show himself to the queen.

How could this boy be accepted by the Empress to be her disciple.

"Ohhh, there's something else, the temple envoy actually announced before leaving that Ming Ze should apologize to the temple because he also injured their member."

A new piece of news came again.

When saying that, people stared at Ming Ze who was flying in the air.

The latter rolled his eyes, thinking that this temple really had a high obsession with maintaining their prestige.

How could he apologize when the one at fault wasn't him.

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, acting indifferent before getting into his carriage, eager to continue the journey to the Central Region.

"Wait!" Jian Xue didn't want to be left behind anymore, she entered the carriage following him.

Shua!

The carriage immediately flew east at full speed, disappearing from people's sight.

"Ming Ze doesn't seem to be so afraid of the temple..." Several people whispered to each other.

"Yeah, this is becoming something more interesting, but as long as he's in the Central Region, that temple won't be too aggressive."

In the Central Region, even the Hidden Heaven Temple actually acted more calmly when it was hunting someone.

They tended not to dare send too powerful cultivators.

Meanwhile, inside his carriage, Ming Ze sat back in his seat, looking at Jian Xue who was eyeing the carriage curiously.

He had intentionally let her in.

Even so, he still said to her, "little miss, you'd better not make a fuss or I'll throw you overboard."

When on the way, he preferred quiet, so he gave her a warning.

Jian Xue's eyes widened slightly when reprimanded, then her mouth became sullen.

She clearly did not accept.

However, she seemed to realize more and more that it was difficult to deal with this man, so she refrained from speaking.

"Huh, as if I care about you," she said, snorting softly before walking to another window that did not have a seat.

She stood there while looking out at the sea below.

Sometimes, there were ships that the carriage passed by, moving slowly when viewed from inside the carriage.

Tonight, the sea seemed very calm without any large waves. Ming Ze didn't even see any big fish jumping out of the sea.

The further into the center, the quieter it became.

However, then he was intrigued as he saw a small island that was well-lit as there were many buildings on it.

Also, there were many ships that stopped by around the island.

From the looks of it, the atmosphere on the island was very pleasant as Ming Ze felt that the aura of the people who entered it seemed to be full of joy.
