MEIWITA Chapter 705: Lou Mu Bai’s Current Identity

Human Realm Hidden City Headquarters.

As usual, Lou Mu Bai flipped through the news files about Lou Mu Yan and Lou Mu Ting, and when he saw a particular piece of news about a mission, his expression darkened instantly.

“Someone.” His voice sounded softly in the room.

A man in black immediately pushed the door open and stood in front of him respectfully, asking: “What is Your Highness’s order?”

“Can this mission accepted from the Devil Race be cancelled?” Lou Mu Bai tossed the mission that listed the First Holy Maiden’s request to kill Lou Mu Yan to the black-clothed man.

The black-clothed man looked at it seriously and said: “This mission was sent from the Devil Realm, and we cannot cancel it here. Only the Hidden Master has this authority.”

If it were the missions received in the Human Realm, he could cancel it. After all, this person was the first direct disciple that the Hidden Master has accepted in so many years, but he really couldn’t help with the missions of the other three realms.

“Alright, you can leave.” Lou Mu Bai nodded lightly and said.

“Yes!”

After the black-clothed man retreated, Lou Mu Bai turned around and inserted a dark token in a card slot in the room. A secret door appeared in the room. He walked through the door, and it disappeared.

There was a Teleportation Array at the bottom of the room. He didn’t hesitate to put a few middle-quality spiritual stones into the slot of the Teleportation Array, and a white light flickered.

An elderly man in a dark golden robe sat cross-legged above a deep pool filled with spiritual energy. The pressure and aura emanating from his entire body was very strong.

When he discovered the white figure appearing below the pool, he slowly opened his eyes, “You need me for something?”

“I want to trouble you to cancel a mission from the Devil Realm.” Lou Mu Bai said with some respect.

When he ascended from Tian’ling Continent to Guang’ling Realm, he didn’t know why, but the spatial node changed. Not long after, he met this mysterious and powerful elderly man, and was brought back to the headquarters of the Hidden City and recognize him as Master.

There was a hint of amusement in the elderly man’s eyes, “Let me see what the mission is.”

Lou Mu Bai tossed the mission file up.

The elderly man looked it over and said: “How’s the person who the First Holy Maiden of the devil race asked to be assassinated related to you?”

“My blood-related younger sister.” Lou Mu Bai said without any hesitation.

“It’s troublesome to cancel the mission from the Devil Realm. How about you let your sister train a bit.” The elderly man said calmly.

Lou Mu Bai’s eyes turned cold, “Then I want to leave the Hidden City.”

“You’re threatening me?” The elderly man narrowed his eyes and asked dangerously.

“It’s not a threat. It’s a statement of a fact.” Lou Mu Bai’s eyes were clear, and he continued: “You wanted to accept me as your direct disciple, but if I can’t even protect my younger sister, then what’s the use in having you as my Master?

“I don’t want such a Master.”

The elderly man suddenly burst out laughing. He didn’t look like he laughed out of anger, but instead, there was a hint of joy in his expression, “Good. As expected of the disciple this old man likes. You’ve got personality and courage.

“I can help you cancel the mission, but you have to promise me one thing.”

Lou Mu Bai raised his head and asked: “What?”

“You remain in the Hidden City Headquarters and cultivate the unique skill to Great Achievement, and only when you reach Heaven Elemental Realm can you go out to meet your family.” The Hidden Master looked at Lou Mu Bai faintly.

“Alright. But the Hidden City must ensure that you don’t accept any assassination missions against my family.” After Lou Mu Bai came to the Hidden City, he realised that the real Hidden City was too powerful. He was afraid that his younger sister wouldn’t be able to cope if they really sent Heaven Elemental Realm or Unification Realm powerhouses to assassinate her.

“Sure! You’re this old man’s direct disciple, so this old man will naturally take care of your family a bit.” The Hidden Master nodded: “But you mustn’t disappoint this old man.”

He finally managed to find a disciple with the Slaughterer’s Constitution that’s rare to find in ten thousand years, and who had such a calm and composed disposition, so he couldn’t lose his disciple’s heart on such a minor matter.

“Disciple obeys.” Lou Mu Bai nodded.

Although this Master had an eccentric temper, but he would definitely do what he promised, so he wasn’t worried about this.

It was useless to meet his mother and younger siblings right now without strength. It was better to improve his cultivation base and strength so that he could also protect his family in the future.

Before, after the First Holy Maiden posted the mission through the Hidden City, Lou Mu Yan was indeed hunted down by several waves of Hidden City killers as she completed missions, but they were all easily resolved.

After the Hidden City raised the rank of the mission, Lou Mu Yan had already arrived at Central City to participate in the alchemy competition of the Alchemy Pagoda, and the ambushed killers never found a chance to attack.

Now that Lou Mu Yan had transformed into not only the daughter of Feng Yue Xin, a genius of the Feng Clan at Upper Unification Realm, but also the future Ninth Princess Consort of the noble Ninth Prince—who Emperor Ming of the Ming Palace Royal Clan favoured most—the Hidden City’s killers immediately reported the situation and wanted to upgrade the mission rank again.

However, now that the Hidden Master had intervened, the mission of assassinating Lou Mu Yan had been cancelled, and the level had been retained.

The First Holy Maiden in the Devil Realm almost died of anger when she suddenly received the news that the Hidden City was withdrawing from the mission. She never thought that Lou Mu Yan would have such means to make the Hidden City cancel the mission.

One must know that under normal circumstances, even if it was for Feng Yue Xin’s life, the Hidden City would accept it too, but the price would just be very high. Ordinary powerhouses wouldn’t be able to afford it. But a puny Earth Elemental Realm Sword Master, even if she was a grade 8 alchemist, wouldn’t cause the Hidden City to take the initiative to terminate the contract.

The First Holy Maiden, as well as the Third Holy Maiden and Shen Mu Feng who heard the news later, couldn’t figure it out either, which also strengthened their determination to get rid of Lou Mu Yan. If she was allowed to continue to grow, it would definitely threaten them in the future.

So at the instigation of the Third Holy Maiden, the First Holy Maiden mobilised her own secret forces in the Devil Realm to find an opportunity to head to the Human Realm and kill Lou Mu Yan.

Of course, this was what occurred later.

Lou Mu Yan and the others followed the Third Elder across the wooden bridge, and when they got off the bridge, the siblings felt a dense spiritual force rush against them, and what surprised them even more was that the surrounding air was even breeding elemental laws.

Lou Mu Ting was filled with shock, while Lou Mu Yan regained her composure after being surprised at first. She knew that this was the effect of a very delicately constructed grade 9 array.

Seeing Lou Mu Yan regaining her composure in just an instant, the Third Elder secretly praised her inwardly.

Then he saw Lou Mu Ting start to ponder, and he was even more satisfied inwardly.

Feng Yue Xin’s two children were very talented and good-natured, especially Lou Mu Yan. He couldn’t help but look forward to the eldest brother that he had never met yet.

Soon, the Third Elder brought them to a wooden house in the deepest part of the purple bamboo forest. Right now, an elderly man in red was playing chess with himself outside the wooden house.

Seeing the people arriving, he slightly raised his head and said: “Which one of you will accompany me in the next game?”

Lou Mu Ting blinked. He only superficially knew how to play chess, and it’d be embarrassing to play chess against the Ancestor.

Feng Yue Xin didn’t know much about chess, so she shook her head.

The Third Elder was often tortured to the point of hovering between life and death when playing chess against the Ancestor. He didn’t want to lose face in front of the two juniors.

“Little girl, you come.” The Ancestor naturally observed the expressions of the several people, so he looked at Lou Mu Yan and said casually.

Lou Mu Yan nodded respectfully: “Yes.”

She could feel that the Ancestor of the Feng Clan had the same aura as the Ancestors at Late-Phase Mahayana Stage in the Spiritual World—a peerless powerhouse.

Note: *sob* the author made so many typos—instead of Lou Mu Bai, ‘Lou Mu Yan’ kept appearing loool.

Also we stan a protective big brother.
