Chapter 1131: The Emissaries Of First City (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Perhaps Old Man Jiang had thought to get the younger generation of his family to go after Gu Ruoyun in the beginning. However, no one amongst the Jiang family's younger generation could measure up to the little girl now. Even the most illustrious Jiang Mozhu could not meet her standards either.
Unconsciously, Old Man Jiang sighed as he glanced at the area where Jiang Mozhu had been using for his closed-door cultivation.
He knows that ever since Jiang Mozhu had laid his eyes upon Gu Ruoyun, this kid's heart had glided towards her. However, that little girl's talents were far too superior. With the addition of her current position, this kid does not really stand a chance.
Old Man Gu smiled as he put the chess piece in his hand down. He then remarked, "She has managed to break through to the Martial Saint rank, she'll definitely attract First City's attention now. I believe that First City's emissaries will arrive in Main City very soon..."
On this mainland, whenever anyone has broken through to the Martial Saint rank, it would become a sensational news. Unless that person was to conceal their breakthrough, like the Master of the Mu family, this matter would fall into First City's ears and the newly-minted MArtial Saint would receive the First City's invitation.
The Medicine Manor.
The hurricane slowly subsided and the door to the bedchamber opened slowly. Just as Gu Ruoyun stepped out of the room, she saw a peerless-looking man leaning against a tree.
The gentle breeze brushed through his silvery hair and made him look like a deity while his red robes fluttered in the wind. The man had turned to face the woman in green who had stepped out from the door. His peerless features then lit up with a smile, "Yun'er, congratulations, you've finally broken through to the Martial Saint rank."
Gu Ruoyun smiled and slowly approached the man who was leaning against the tree. "Xiao Ye, guests from the First City will arrive very soon. We must make preparations to welcome our honored guests."
A glint flashed across Gu Ruoyun's eyes.
Perhaps it was time for her to enter that place now...
"This should be the place."
A few days later, a few figures descended from the sky to stand outside the Medicine Manor's gates.
Standing at the front most of the group was a young man. He has rather average-looking features and was the kind of person whose face would easily get lost in a crowd. However, this man had eyes as sharp as an eagle's. His gaze was incomparably keen and his entire body emits a strong aura.
Gu Ruoyun had sensed their presence immediately and promptly deactivated the formation. Hence, these people had been able to enter the Medicine Manor unhindered.
At this moment, a woman in green was sitting bolt upright on a hardwood chair in the Medicine Manor's great hall. Her clear and cold eyes observed the group in white robes as they entered the door. Next to the woman in green was a cold and grim man in crimson robes. He pursed his sharp, knife-like and thin lips, curling it into a disdainful angle.
It was obvious that Grand Lord Hong Lian does not have a good impression of anyone from the First City, no matter who they may be.
"I believe that you, sires, are emissaries from the First City?" Grand Lord Hong Lian looked at the young man as he spoke icily.
Grand Lord Hong Lian may have previously broken through to the Martial Saint rank but due to his constant absence from the Red Lotus Territory, the First City's emissaries would have been greeted by an empty space even if they had paid him a visit. Therefore, this was the first time he had met a high-level emissary from the First City.
"That's right." The emissary seems to be disgusted with Grand Lord Hong Lian's rudeness. He then frowned and replied in a cold and proud voice, "We have journeyed from the First City and have been known as the guides in the secular world! Only we can guide the cultivators of the secular world like yourselves towards the path that leads to the First City. I am here to congratulate you. You can finally leave this place and journey to the heaven that many cultivators yearn for."

"Pfft."
A soft giggle sounded just as the emissary had finished speaking. The Vermillion Bird's childish voice soon chimed in, "Heaven? Isn't heaven a place that people only go to when they're dead? Could it be that one can only go to the First City when one is dead?"
The emissary's expression blackened instantly. If it had not been for the fact that the Vermillion Bird looked to be a five to six-year-old child, he would teach her a thorough lesson of the consequences on humiliating the First City.
"Hmph!" scoffed the emissary icily before he remarked arrogantly, "My purpose here today is to bring you all to the First City. I'm not here to quibble with a little girl! However, I need to inform you of the First City's rules as well."
"The First City is not like your mainland. In the eyes of the citizens of First City, the people of the mainland are merely people of the secular world. Even our lowest of the low would be more powerful than anyone from the secular world! Hence, don't think that just because you can break the law and commit crimes in the secular world that you could do the same thing in First City! It's true that you have broken through to the Martial Saint rank at the age of twenty or so and you can be considered an unparalleled genius! Unfortunately, in the eyes of the First City's cultivators, you are no different from an average citizen."
As one of First City's emissaries, he clearly has the right to be arrogant. These people who had broken through to the Martial Saint rank in the secular world could not be measured up in his eyes.
Besides, who from the secular world would not bend the knee at the very sight of him? They would even fight to gain his favor all for the sake of receiving greater opportunities upon entering First City.
Hence, he believes that these two people before him were just like that too.
No one would be stupid enough to make an enemy of an emissary of the First City!
"Furthermore..." The emissary glanced at Gu Ruoyun and Grand Lord Hong Lian before he continued to speak, "In First City, no one can kill others arrogantly and without permission! Anyone who crosses this rule will receive severe punishment. Regardless of your previous grudges, you must write them all off! Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Obviously, since the emissary had said these things, it proves that he had seen right through Grand Lord Hong Lian's identity. Naturally, he knew about the grudge between Grand Lord Hong Lian and the Lin family.
"Hahaha!" Grand Lord Hong Lian burst into maniacal laughter. His laughter was filled with dominance and rang throughout the entire Medicine Manor. "So, the emissaries of First City are that unreasonable! The Lin family has hunted me for so many years and had torn my family apart. Are you saying that I should not have my revenge? No matter what, I will repay the Lin family for their blood feud!"
The man's cold and grim features flashed with a deep murderous intent. His red robes filled with a murderous air, causing the temperature in the great hall to plummet.
"I'm only saying what needs to be said first." The emissary then gently narrowed his eyes as he replied in a cold and distant manner, "However, you must trust in the First City's power. Do you know why you're still alive despite being hunted by the Lin family for so many years? That's because the Lin family is under the First City's control and is unable to mobilize their powerful cultivators. Otherwise, you might have been dead long ago! However, as you are about to enter the First City, this means that the Lin family can now attack you whenever they wish! As long as it's not a large scale massacre, the First City will not interfere."
The emissary paused and his face was as now arrogant as before, "Hence, I'd advise you to lay down your grudges. This is for the sake of your own safety yet if you still remain wanton and unrestrained, you will call upon your own tragic end! I'll leave the token needed to enter the First City here. Farewell!"

The emissary took one last look at Gu Ruoyun and her father before he then turned around to head out of the great hall.
Just as he was about to step out the door, a head full of silvery hair glided across his sight, carrying a gloomy aura that made his heart race.
Silver hair and crimson robes!
It was said that not too long ago, a peerless genius had appeared in the First City. No one had known what his name was and all they know was his signifying features! He had a head full of silver hair and was dressed in crimson robes as he drove ten thousand beasts and cut across the vast skies!
"That must be a coincidence."
The emissary shook his head. What would a peerless genius of the First City be doing in a place like this? Even though this person has silver hair and red robes as well, he might not be that man...
He no longer hesitated at the thought of this as he led the group of members from the First City out of the Medicine Manor.
"Yun'er."
Qianbei Ye did not bother to give the emissary a second glance as he walked towards Gu Ruoyun. His red eyes landed upon the gold token in front of her and his lips curled into an angle. "You have the token now, it's time we make our way towards the First City."
Gu Ruoyun nodded and turned towards Grand Lord Hong Lian and said, "Father, do you have any plans?"
Grand Lord Hong Lian thought for a moment before he slowly replied, "I need to make a trip back to the Red Lotus Territory and make my preparations. I'll look for you in the First City once I'm done! Perhaps your mother is waiting for us there."
If Qianbei Ye had not been here, Grand Lord Hong Lian would never have let Gu Ruoyun risk her life and brave the dangers in the First City alone.
Now, he could clearly sense that this man's power has grown to a substantial degree. At least, at this point in time, the Grand Lord was no longer of any match for him.
With this man by Gu Ruoyun's side, he would be able to leave peacefully.
"Alright." Gu Ruoyun nodded. "I need to make a few arrangements as well. We'll leave for the First City tomorrow."
Before the cultivators of the First City had arrived, the people of the Northern Block Territory have found the medicinal herbs that she needed. Now, it was time for her to start refining the Fleshbone Regeneration Pill.
Based on Gu Ruoyun's current level of power, refining the Fleshbone Regeneration Pill would no longer pose a problem for her. Hence, after Grand Lord Hong Lian left, she immediately entered the Ancient Divine Pagoda to refine the pill. This pill did not take up too much of her time and was successfully refined.
As Gu Ruoyun stared at the sparkling and translucent jade-green pill, she slowly exhaled and said, "The refinement process was a success. I'll give this to Yu'er for consumption now."
Over these past few days, Yu'er's arm had been an aching pain in her heart. Now, this sore point could be released...
The Medicine Manor.
The light of the sun was shining in the courtyard as Xia Linyu stood bold upright outside the gate. His clear, limpid eyes have never left the tightly shut door and his delicate features showed a sense of concern. Just as he was about to move, the room's door slowly opened.
"Yu'er?" Gu Ruoyun did not expect Xia Linyu to appear in front of her door. She was shocked before she gently raised her brows, "What are you doing here?"
"Sister..." Xia Linyu gently lowered his eyes and his long lashes concealed the emotions in them. "Are you heading to the First City?"
Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment before she slowly nodded, "I want to search for our mother in this life."
"Sister..." Xia Linyu lifted his head as if he had made a decision and his clear, limpid eyes which were like pools of water fixed upon Gu Ruoyun. He then said, "I don't wish to remain hidden under your wings for the rest of my life so I won't be following you to the First City this time. I want to train myself and grow. Only then will I be under favorable circumstances."

Xia Linyu had been a good-for-nothing in his past life and relied on his sister for survival. Therefore, he no longer wishes to live in such a weak existence in this life!
However, if he wishes to grow, he has to leave his sister's side!
"Sister." A sense of determination flashed in Xia Linyu's eyes as he stared at Gu Ruoyun who was silent. "I've been thinking about this for a while now and I've made my decision! Don't worry, once I've gathered enough power, I will look for you in the First City! When that time comes, you'll meet a whole new version of me."
Gu Ruoyun was silent and did not speak. After a long pause, she lifted her gaze and stared at the young man's delicate yet determined features. "If you have truly made your decision, I will support you! If you should ever run into any issues, you can head to the Medicine Manor or the Red Lotus Territory and ask for help. You can also head to Gold Country and ask for Supreme Jin. I believe that these people will help you."
"Sister, I'm your brother so I won't let you down."
Xia Linyu smiled. His smile was shy and tender, one could not help but feel their heart soften.
"This is the Fleshbone Regrenation Pill." Gu Ruoyun produced the pill from her hands and placed it in front of Xia Linyu. "Consume it and that severed arm will grow again."
Xia Linyu stared at the pill in the woman's hand as his heart began to race. He really did not think that this day would come and his arm would grow back! Perhaps not one person in this world ever believed that growing back an arm would be a possibility.
Xia Linyu took a deep breath at the thought of this and took the pill without another word. He then placed it in his mouth and carefully swallowed it.
As the pill dissolved in his mouth, Xia Linyu felt an itching pain on the stump of his left arm. He felt a strong urge to reach out and scratch it.
A clear and cold voice immediately cried out and stopped him in his act, "Bear with it, don't move!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Linyu naturally would not dare to make any movements. He quickly put his hand down and forced himself to bear with the painful itching on his left shoulder.
However, Xia Linyu was soon stunned by what happened next.
He could see his own own severed arm growing visibly longer...
How many people would be able to accomplish the freakish feat of regrowing a new arm? However, Gu Ruoyun has done it! Even if this were to get out, no one would believe it!
"Sister... My arm, it's really back..." Xia Linyu's voice trembled. He could not stop his tears from streaming down his face. One could imagine how happy and excited he was feeling!
No matter what, losing an arm had meant a huge curb on his powers. Now that his arm has grown back, he has a hundred percent guarantee that he would be able to follow Gu Ruoyun into the First City.
"Yu'er, the objective for our travels to the Northern Block Territory has been completed." Gu Ruoyun smiled and patted Xia Linyu's shoulder. "You can continue your cultivation normally now."
"Sister."
Xia Linyu lifted his tear-stained and delicate features. His lips gently trembled as he spoke, "Even though you had told me from the beginning that you could regrow my severed arm again, I had not put too much hope into it. I was afraid that if I had too much faith, my disappointment would be even greater. However, I never ever thought that you'd actually be able to achieve it!"
Gu Ruoyun smiled gently. Her eyes were deeply moved. She did not have many loved ones in her past life, all that was left was perhaps Xia Linyu who had been reincarnated with her. Hence, she had spared no expenses in coming to the Northern Block Territory all for the sake of refining this Fleshbone Regeneration Pill.

It was a good thing that Gu Ruoyun had been successful in refining that pill.
"Yu'er, I'll be leaving tomorrow. I'm leaving Wei Yiyi and the others to take care of the Northern Block Territory. If you ever feel tired in the outside world, you can come back here for a rest. Not even the cultivators from the First City can harm you in the Northern Block Territory."
Before Gu Ruoyun heads off, she would hand the formation over to Wei Yiyi. With this formation in place, even the members of First City could forget about killing anyone in the Medicine Manor!
"I understand." Xia Linyu's heart was filled with emotion. However, when he remembered how Gu Ruoyun was about to leave, his eyes filled with reluctance. "Sister, you must wait for me in the First City. I will rush right over to meet you."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you."
Gu Ruoyun had gazed upon the young man's delicate features as she replied clearly.
The Secret Order.
A faint white mist covered the place, turning it into a fairyland in the human world. A woman in white who had been sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes. She then turned her gaze towards an old woman who had stepped towards her on the clouds. The woman in white slowly rose to her feet and said, "Master."
"Yu'er," The old woman paused and staring lovingly down at the absolutely beautiful woman in white robes. She then said, "I had once promised you that once your closed-door cultivation has ended, I would let you leave the Secret Order. The time has come and I should fulfill my promise to you as well. You can now leave this place and go find your husband and children."
It was as if a warm sunlight had shone down from the skies, melting the woman in white's cold-as-ice expression and filling her with gentleness and softness. The smile on her face could move one's heart.
"Yes, Master."
It has been over twenty years...
Now, I can finally leave this place and look for my family.
Furthermore, I can make those who have harmed my family pay the most painful price!
"Go. As the Sacred Lady of the Secret Order, your position is set on high. You should not have had to suffer the abuse of others in the first place! You can make others pay for the pain you've endured but the Secret Order can't help you. You must exact your revenge on your own!"
The old woman looked at the woman in white robes as her eyes filled with love. After all these years, she had long seen this woman as her own daughter. Now that her daughter was about to leave her, how could she not feel reluctant?
The woman in white wished to speak but the words did not come in the end. She lowered her body and knelt on the ground before bowing towards the old woman. She then said, "Master, thank you for saving my life that year. Without you, the Dongfang Yu today would not exist! I will never forget your kindness! Once I've found my family, I will return to the Secret Order."
A satisfied smile appeared on the old woman's face and she nodded gently. "Yu'er, there's one more thing I must tell you. No matter what you do in the world outside, you must never let anyone find out about your identity in the Secret Order! Otherwise, if anyone finds out about your identity as the Sacred Lady of the Secret Order, there will be a lot of trouble!"
The Secret Order was indeed very powerful in the First City. Even the First City's administrators would need to leave some form of sensibilities for the Secret Order. However, the Secret Order had concealed itself from the world for many years. If anyone were to discover Dongfang Yu's identity, complications would arise.
More importantly, this was related to very person the Secret Order had been controlling!
That person has been under the Secret Order's guard for over ten thousand years yet they could not prove that he no longer has any remaining confederates left in First City. If word of Dongfang Yu's identity as their Sacred Lady got out, danger may arrive!
