The Ever Spring Mistress's words didn't go unnoticed by Emperor Feng, but he didn't speak about it.
'So the Ever Spring Mistress knows more…' Emperor Feng noted in his mind.
The events during the final match of the Tournament hadn't been forgotten by him. The horror was still fresh, and so was the pressure. The being that the Emperor had seen was otherworldly and not something he could even fathom.
'The power it had shown… Spatial Erasure… and more… Was that even a Celestial?' The Emperor wondered to himself.
He didn't even know if he wanted to know the answer for sure. He didn't know if he could bear its weight. As such, the Emperor kept silent and let things proceed.
"It is time to leave," The Ever Spring Mistress said, making a seal with her hand.
~SHUA~
It caused an illusory flower to bloom in front of her which was about the size of an entire house!
"Get on, it'll be faster this way." The Ever Spring Mistress spoke.
"Whoa!" Meihua, though, was amazed by the flower and couldn't help but marvel at it. She walked into the center of the flower while holding hands with the Ever Spring mistress and felt the soft interior. The winged fox also accompanied her, and was going to be brought along.
There was no way that Meihua was going to leave her Fluff-fluff behind after all.
Even though the flower seemed to be illusory, it could still present corporeal effects. Princess Feng Land and Emperor Feng joined them in the flower as well, marveling at the skill.
Since they were heading to the Capital city, the Emperor had decided to tag alongside them while Princess Feng Lan would be going to the Celestial World with Meihua and the Ever Spring Mistress. Normally, an immortal wouldn't be able to enter the Celestial World unless they broke through and became a celestial themselves.
But the Ever Spring Mistress had a few privileges, and she used one of them. Princess Feng Lan would be able to enter the Celestial Realm, but she would be limited to staying in the domain of the Ever Spring Princess. If she left it, she would be forced back into the Immortal Realm by the restrictions of the Celestial Realm.
That was until of course she reached the Celestial Realm herself. Then there would be no restrictions on her.
The Emperor couldn't help but think about the skill and how it worked. He himself couldn't detect any stray energy from it, as it was perfectly contained within it.
"I'll see you later, Mu Lin." The Ever Spring Mistress said before pinching her fingers, causing the illusory flower to close up.
~WHOOSH~
Then in the next moment, the illusory flower rose into the air and reached high up into the sky. Once it was at a sufficient altitude, it directly tore through the skies and soared towards the Capital City of the Dao Wind Empire!
Lin Mu stood there watching it all, finding it to be very fast.
"Several times faster than Little Shrubby, for sure." Lin Mu estimated the speed of the flying illusory flower.
With the departure of the Ever Spring Mistress, calmness returned to the Morning Glory Clan. It almost felt like a dream to the members of the clan, still finding it hard to believe all that had happened.
"Feel free to stay as long as you want, Daoist Mu Lin." Clan Head Guang San stated. "You shall always be welcome in the Morning Glory Clan." He offered.
"I'll stay until Crown Prince Feng Shun arrives. I don't know why he's taking so long." Lin Mu replied.
"Have you contacted him yet?" Clan Head Guang San asked.
"I have yes, but there was no response." Lin Mu replied, finding it a bit strange.
He had done so a couple of times actually, but hadn't gotten any response making Lin Mu wonder if the Crown Prince was delayed for some reason.
"Hmm… strange." Clan Head Guang San said with a frown.
It was unusual for the Crown Prince to be gone for this long without notice after all.
"Emperor Feng doesn't know where he went either, so it is a bit confusing." Lin Mu added.
"Perhaps he's caught up in something that doesn't let him respond in time?" Guang San guessed.
"Maybe…" Lin Mu replied.
"Oh also, the pills you requested are ready." Clan Head Guang San informed. "I'll have them be sent to your courtyard." "Ah! Thank you, Clan Head." Lin Mu replied.
Since Guang San had offered to reward Lin Mu, he had decided to take advantage of it and get some pills made. He once more focused on healing pills, as well as more detoxification pills that could work on various poisons.
His experience with Ashy had taught him that one could never have more healing and detoxifying pills. Who knows what kind of poison one might be inflicted with. Plus this time, Lin Mu had the Saintess to assist him.
If he couldn't tell what the poison was, he would have been in trouble.
As such, Lin Mu asked for all the possible detoxifying pills that the Morning Glory clan knew of. Because such pills were always in demand, the Morning Glory always had them in stock and as such it was no issue giving some to Lin Mu. Of course, there were a handful of pills that weren't in stock and had been freshly made by the alchemists of the clan on demand.
"I'll get going now. I have to get things sorted out for the incoming events. Now that we've become a Dukedom, we need to get a lot of things in order." Clan Head Guang San replied. "And please, don't hesitate to ask me if you need anything." The man added.
"I'll keep that in mind." Lin Mu said and parted ways.
He returned to the courtyard, which was once again surrounded by clouds. Though this time their numbers were lower. Inside, Lin Mu found the Saintess looking up at the sky which could still be looked at through the clouds.
"They should be reaching the Celestial Realm in a few days' time." The Saintess spoke sensing Lin Mu's arrival.
"Is it because of Princess Feng Lan and Meihua?" Lin Mu asked.
"Indeed… they'll have to go through a few checks." The Saintess said before turning around.
