Chapter 41: I Want, YOU!!
Sect Master's Chambers, Vine Bull Sect, Xuin City,
"Sect Master, can you entertain this small request of mine?
I want Ling Yun to be released from her imprisonment and be allowed to accompany me to the Phoenix Feather Sect."
Ashen informed of his intentions and the request that he had come to make.
The Sect Master's eyes widened upon hearing this as he asked:
"Y-Young Master, Do you know this girl?
Have we imprisoned someone important to you?"
Ashen shook his head in response, replying with a smile:
"No No, It isn't like that, Sect master.
She is the lover of one of my Friends.
You may know him, His name is Mo Fan"
Hearing Mo Fan's name, a smile appeared on the Sect Master's face as he nodded in appreciation:
"Ah, Mo Fan.
Indeed, I know him.
He was the young master of the Mo Family just some weeks ago,
Alas, Destiny sure is unpredictable."
The Headmaster shook his head with a saddened expression.
Seeing this, Ashen smiled as he assured the sect master:
"You don't have to worry about him,
We are coming from the Mo Family and have sorted out the matter of Mo Fan.
You will get the news about that shortly.
Just know that we need to get Ling Yun out and we are ready to use force if necessary.
Don't take this as a threat.
Just understand that this matter is important to us.
I hope you can understand"
The sect master became serious about their request upon hearing that.
Ashen and Mo Chen weren't much of a concern in the Sect Master's eyes, but the Phoenix Feather Sect was.
If the Phoenix Feather Sect made a move against them, their sect would be destroyed in seconds.
One of the top ten sects held that much power and was no joke.
Since he didn't want to offend Ashen, He tried to hide behind the Bi Family.
"Young Master, It isn't me who is stopping Ling Yun.
It is Bi Chi of the Bi Family.
If the sect were to release Ling Yun, He would surely create a scene and call our sect unjust."
Hearing his excuse, Ashen narrowed his eyes as he threatened with a cold voice:
"Sect Master, Do you think I am easy just because I've been talking to you respectfully?
What is a Bi Chi in front of me?
You are afraid of him creating a scene and calling your sect unjust?
Then know this,
If you don't agree to my request right now, then there won't be a Sect named Vine Bull Sect to call unjust!"
Upon being threatened like this, The sect master began to sweat profusely in fear.
He could feel that Ashen wasn't joking right now, If he refused his request once again, he would surely stand on his word and make his sect disappear.
Ashen had gotten the information he wanted to know from the sect master, so there wasn't any reason to be polite to him anymore.
"I accept, I accept your request.
Don't be offended by my words, young master"
The sect master yelled with a bow, sweating profusely.
Ashen nodded in satisfaction before instructing:
"Hmm, Alright, then take me to Ling Yun right now"
The sect master raised his head before speaking: "Yes yes, come with me!"
Though he was a powerful cultivator, however, in front of Ashen who had Phoenix Feather Sect backing him, he could only act like this.
This was because of the King Realm cultivators in the Phoenix Feather Sect.
Meanwhile, in his sect, he was the most powerful with no king realm cultivator to back him up.
How could he stand a chance?
Ashen and Mo Chen followed him from behind while the Sect Master escorted them to a hidden underground prison.
The prison was large with multiple guarding mechanisms and formations.
Even Mo Chen who had seen multiple prisons before was impressed.
After passing multiple prison cells, Ashen and Mo Chen were greeted by Ling Yun's Prison cell.
This cell was large with a comfortable bed and area to cultivate.
Ashen hadn't noticed it before but the spiritual energy in the cell was thick.
It was suitable to cultivate.
"Sure enough, a heroine gets different treatment from others."
Ashen commented to himself before gazing at the person sitting in the middle of the cell in a lotus position, cultivating.
She was a petite woman with brunette curly hair, blue eyes, and a curvaceous figure. Her sharp features shone like a jade in combination with her pale silky soft skin. Her sharp jawline gave her a serious look that made her more attractive in the eyes of the beholder.
Her almond-shaped eyes had a shine in them that accentuated her facial beauty. Her perfect curves could make anyone crave her body.
Mo Chen couldn't take his eyes off her, surprised to see this type of beauty in this small city.
[Ding! Host, Ling Yun is marked as a heroine!]
"Ling Yun, Look, someone has come to take you out from here!"
The Sect master said with a smile on his face while pointing at Ashen.
Hearing his voice, Ling Yun opened her eyes, looking at the three individuals standing in front of her cell.
"Sect Master, You've come!"
Ling Yun stood up before rushing to the Sect master.
She had a smile on her face, indicating that she was happy to see the sect master here.
This was because, only the sect master visited her from time to time, giving her news of outside and Mo Fan.
This was also one of the reasons that the Sect Master was aware of Mo Fan and his situation.
"Haha, Child, It's always nice to see you.
Look, who has come to meet you!"
The sect master said with a light laugh, gesturing towards Ashen and Mo Chen.
Noticing the sect master's gesture, Ling Yun's gaze drifted to Ashen and Mo Chen.
Soon, a confused expression appeared on her face due to being unable to recognize them.
"Who are these gentlemen?
Forgive me for being unaware!"
She apologized with a bow from behind the prison cells.
She had already understood that they were someone important for the Sect master to escort them here himself.
"Child, They are Mo Fan's friends and are here to free you of your imprisonment!"
The sect master informed with a pleased tone.
"Brother Mo Fan's Friends?"
Ling Yun asked with a smile on her face.
It has been a long since she heard the news regarding Mo Fan.
Hearing that his friends were here to free her, she expected good news.
"Hmm," The sect master affirmed with a nod, confirming her doubts.
"Is Brother Mo Fan alright? I heard that he was being mistreated by his own family, He must be troubled!"
Ling Yun asked before turning to Ashen and Mo Chen.
Mo Chen attempted to answer, however, Ashen stopped him.
He wanted to talk to her himself.
He shook his head before answering in a cold voice:
"Mo Fan is being hunted like a dog by the Mo Family after he stole their precious skill and ran away with his life!"
As he informed this, there was no change in his expression.
There remained only indifference.
However, Ling Yun wasn't like Ashen.
Upon hearing this, her eyes widened in shock along with the sect master's, he was also unaware of this.
Even Mo Chen was surprised by this sudden change in Ashen's behavior.
He thought that Ashen was going act as Mo Fan's friend and Lure Ling Yun out without any problems, however, now the case seemed different.
"What? What happened to Brother Mo Fan?"
Ling Yun asked again, in hopes that Ashen was just joking with her.
He was Mo Fan's friend, after all, at least that's what she was told.
"Looks like you didn't understand what I said the first time.
Let me introduce ourselves first then maybe you can understand the situation better"
Ashen said with a smile before pointing at Mo Chen,
"He is Mo Chen, the young master of the Mo Family's main branch and I am the young master of the Phoenix Feather Sect, Wang Ashen!"
"What??"
Ling Yun expressed her shock at their identities before looking at the sect master for confirmation.
The sect master nodded at her, confirming their identities.
After knowing their identities, Ling Yun began to understand the situation a little bit better.
Now she was sure that these two weren't Mo Fan's friends.
They had too high of a background to be Mo Fan's friends.
Who was Mo Fan?
A lad with a 2-star spirit who was the young master of a branch family inside a small city.
Meanwhile, who were the two in front of her?
One was the young master of the family which had the highest power in the whole Xia kingdom and the other was the disciple of a king realm expert with a sect backing him.
There was just too much of a difference.
Now the question was why were they here?
Therefore, she just decided to ask directly:
"Young lords, then may I know why you two are here?
What do you need from me?"
Ashen gave her a polite smile with a tilted face in response to her question.
She also revealed an awkward smile, waiting for his answer.
Soon, she saw him raise his hand and take out his index finger.
Maintaining his smile, he pointed at her.
Declaring: "I Want, YOU!!"
"Huh??"
