Phantom City

How come the person who he met a few days back, looks like a corpse who was in a grave for years?.

Furthermore, he knows the Mu Yide is an Origin level expert, even if he died, the essence energy inside his body will protect his body from decaying for some years!!

"Well, I came across the secret that Mu Chengtian is the Other continental being, so I was chased down by this old man, Mu Yide. Fortunately, I killed him and escaped."

Abruptly, five core elders stood up from their seats in shock and rage.

One of the core elders, snapped, "Young Miss, are you sure Mu Family is colliding with Other continental beings?. This is not a small matter, this concerns our continent's future, you can't speak without any evidence."

Ji Yueli felt that she had said too much, so she shook her head and became quiet.

The atmosphere turned heavy and other core elders began to confront Ji Hong, but at that moment, Ji Chonghu broke the disturbing mood and said, "Quiet! Let Yueli finish her words."

Once Ji Chonghu spoke, everyone sat back in their seats and waited for Ji Yueli to continue. Ji Yueli once again spoke,

"I don't know whether Mu family is colliding with other Continental beings or not, but I know for sure that Mu Chengtian is one of them."

"Mu Chengtian would have already gotten the news that I returned to the Ji Clan and escaped from the expert he sent to kill me. So, I am sure he would do something in a few days."

"The reason why the old man turned like this, is because of a particular medicinal pill, he consumed..."

Ji Yueli stated everything Ye Xian told her about the medicinal pill which gnaws away one potential and life force.

"Young Miss, how did you know it's because of the medicinal pill?" One of the core elders asked a vital question.

Ji Yueli didn't know how to explain this question, she can't possibly tell everyone that she met a youth who's knowledgable and mysterious, right? If she explained like that then she will be the first person to be kicked out of this hall.

Even though she explained to his father about Ye Xian, she can't tell everyone about him and she also requested his father not to disclose any information about him.

Perceiving his daughter is unable to answer this question, Ji Hong came forward and spoke,

"Well, Yueli met a certain expert on her way who's knowledgable in the field of medicine and healing."

"Now everyone knows how grievous this news is, one side they will destroy our experts potential and on the other side they will lure our experts to their side and use them as they wish."

"Thankfully, that expert also explained how to defy this medicinal pill. According to that expert, to use this medicinal pill one should have a matching cultivation technique."

"If one stop cultivating that technique which brings out the efficiency of the medicinal pill then we can easily solve the problem."

"Elders, this is crucial information so please contact the Empire and Numinous association about this. After that, we will plan what to do with this information."

"Yes, Clan master" The Core elders left the hall one by one.

"Yueli, this time you contributed a lot to our continent." Ji Hong said as he lovingly looked at his daughter.

"Father, I already told you he's the one who saved my life and explained everything about the medicinal pill."

There was a different feeling to his daughter today, but he couldn't pinpoint what that feeling was. She just looked less mischievous and seemed more womanly.

"If possible, I like to meet the young man who stole my granddaughter's heart." Ji Chonghu smilingly said, there's a trace of flicker in his eyes.

"Grandfather, what are you talking about?." Ji Yueli blushed and ran out of the grand hall.

Outskirts of the Whispering forest,

"But why did such a powerful organization recruit someone as week as the masked man?. Is it because he's a Spirit master?." Ye Xian mused over the problem.

Noticing Ye Xian is unoccupied, Fu Guang's group came forward.

"Thank you, Big Brother Xian." Fu Guang thanked with tear filled eyes and vowed from the bottom of his heart: 'I will forever remember his life-saving grace in my heart. When I am strong enough, I will definitely return the favor one way or another.'

"Thank you, My lord, for saving our lives" The Guard captain also thanked Ye Xian. He was now seeing Ye Xian as someone very powerful and mysterious.

"Brother Guang, come with me." Ye Xian and Fu Guang walked some distance from the group where no one could hear the words.

"Brother Guang, this masked man is not a simple person. Even though his strength is weak, his background is not simple. He is from the 'Devil Heart' organization, which is the most powerful assassination organization in the continent.

"I heard this news from the senior, I met a few days ago. Once the assassin fails to kill the target, they will send another assassin powerful than the previous one until they kill the target."

"I have done something so that the organization won't find out the masked man is dead. So you have some time until the organization uncovers out the truth."

"It's better if you discuss with your family about what to do."

"Big Brother, is there no other way?" Fu Guang already figured someone is trying to kill him but he doesn't know who it is.

'I can only inform sister about the problem!'

He also doesn't want to rely on his father and furthermore, he doesn't want his father to worry about him.

"There is, You have to get strong so that the assains won't be able to do anything to you."

"Don't worry about it, it will take some time till they discover the truth. Let's go, we should first reach the phantom city and join the rising star academy to increase our strength." Ye Xian patted Fu Guang's shoulder and both of them set off again towards the Phantom city.

Five days passed like a wind,

"Big Brother Xian, We reached the outskirts of the Phantom city!" Fu Guang exclaimed as he gazed at the outside.

After a long and arduous journey, Ye Xian and Fu Guang's group finally arrived at the outskirts of the Phantom City. On the way to the city, they did not encounter any other interference after killing the masked man.

Ye Xian lifted his head and viewed outside the window; what he saw, took his breath away as a stunning city greeted his view.

The Phantom city stretched as far as his eyes could see, like an endless ocean. He saw various buildings constructed in rectangles, domes, and castle-shaped, clustered together. There are some tower-like buildings, rising up to six stories tall.

A large wall extended from one side to another part of the city; There are also some guard towers dwelled at the entrance and inside the city.

Even from the same distance, he could see a two towering mountain range on either side of the city while their peaks are smudged in the cloud filled sky.

'The Phantom city is at least a hundred times bigger and better than the Pearl city.'

Ye Xian sighed, amazed at the large city laid out before him, even before he entered the city.

"Brother Guang is this your first time visiting the Phantom city?." Ye Xian asked.

"No, Before this, I once came with my father and sister, but that was six years ago when my sister came to join the academy."

"Yes! This is your first time to Phantom city, right?. Let me introduce some of the key places of the city."

'Ok'

"The phantom city is located between that two mountain range that we can view from here. It's like two towers protecting the city from the east and west side."

"Phantom city is divided into five divisions East Divison, West division, North Divison, South Divison, and Core Divison. The Core division is the heart of the city and also where the White Moon kingdom imperial palace is located."

"Importantly, Rising star academy is located in the East division of the Phantom City. Since the phantom city is stretched over hundreds of thousands of kilometers, we need to travel for half a day in a carriage to reach the East division from here."
