A Man-Made Phenomenon
"A black mist shrouds the area? A fragrance wafts for miles?"
Upon hearing Zhu Wushi's words, Chu Mo murmured to himself, then his expression turned serious as he addressed Chu Xuanao Chu Mo.
"Your Highness, judging from this explanation, even the rare and precious materials like the [Night-Devouring Ghost Flower] and the [Yin Spirit Tai Sui] match up. The people below lack the cultivation level and, without seeing the actual items, they can't discern the difference in their aura."
"Perhaps this is truly a rare and precious treasure appearing in the world. Even if it isn't, something capable of causing such a celestial phenomenon is definitely no ordinary item."
Chu Xuanao looked at Li Xunhuan and said in a deep voice.
"Xunhuan, go and take a look at Xuanshan!"
If it's truly Imperial Clan setup, then the baiting would certainly be plentiful. If it's not Imperial Clan, then the creatures, naturally raised by nature, would be absolutely precious. So there must be some good stuff. Let's go take a look first.
Li Xunhuan immediately spoke.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely retrieve this item for Your Highness."
Chu Mo, who was standing to the side, quickly added a comment.
"Your Highness, I am deeply grateful for Your Highness care these past few days, as well as Mister Li's assistance. I will accompany Mister Li on this journey; it will be safer with more people, and I will certainly bring the treasure back for Your Highness."
Chu Mo's recovery from these injuries, and even his return to the Great Qian Dynasty alive, were all thanks to His Your Highness Prince of Qin's help. He couldn't just eat and drink for free! That was Chu Mo's thought.
This has nothing to do with their shared Imperial Clan lineage. He couldn't possibly take advantage of his status Imperial Clan Ancestor at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm to think that it was only right for the King of Prince of Qin to save him, and that he should repay the Prince of Qin for saving his life.
After Chu Xuanao agreed, Li Xunhuan and Chu Mo left the main hall without lingering. The two soared into the sky and headed towards the Xuanshan.
"Mother, a strange phenomenon has appeared at the Xuanshan, as if some rare and precious treasure has appeared in the world."
While Chu Xuan'ao was still discussing things, Marquis Shenying Wang Long returned to the Marquis's residence. He rushed into the courtyard where Wang Hanying was, anxiously searching for his mother. Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, Wang Long dared not delay for a moment and returned to the Marquis's residence.
Of course, it wasn't just the Shenying Marquis Manor; the entire Zhenyou City, and even all the forces in You Province, knew that war was about to break out. Almost all the powerful figures from various parts of You Province had already arrived. As the news spread, many people went directly to Xuanshan.
Wang Hanying sat in the courtyard, listening to Wang Long's shouts, and remained calm.
"I am already aware of this matter; there's no need for such a commotion."
At this moment, Wang Long's face flushed slightly, and he breathed heavily, speaking urgently.
"Mother, a rare and precious treasure has appeared in the world, what should we do now?"
Wang Hanying turned her head, looking at Wang Long with a scrutinizing gaze, and interrupted Wang Long to ask a question.
"Should we head to Xuanshan now and try to seize this rare and precious herb?"
Listening to his mother's questions and looking into her eyes, Wang Long felt as if his mother was looking at him like he was a fool.
"Did I do something wrong?" Wang Long couldn't help but ask.
"Mother, shouldn't we go?"
Wang Hanying said calmly.
"Of course you should go. You shouldn't go back to the Marquis's residence. You should go directly to His Your Highness, tell Your Highness what you know, and then listen to His Your Highness's arrangements."
Wang Long said directly.
"Mother, ever since I received the news and left the military camp, the news of this rare and precious treasure has been flying everywhere. It's all over the city now, Your Highness already knows about it."
Is this really my son?
Wang Hanying frowned slightly, but her eyes remained calm as she spoke slowly.
Your Highness knows or not is a separate matter from whether you go or not.
Upon hearing this, Wang Long immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed in understanding.
"Mother, I understand. I will go to Qingxin Elegant Garden immediately to report this matter to His Your Highness."
After turning around and taking two steps, Wang Long stopped again, hesitating slightly.
"Mother, that rare and precious herb?"
Wang Hanying's eyes immediately sharpened, and she spoke with unwavering resolve.
"Long'er, that thing isn't yours, nor is it mine. Even if you get it, you can't keep it. No matter how good something is, you have to be alive to get it."
"Don't just focus on immediate gains. Look ahead. If His Highness ascends to the Your Highness, my Shenying Marquis Manor might become a new Duke's Mansion, just like the current Duke Wei's Mansion."
Wang Long nodded, then used his lightness skill to leap away, appearing somewhat hurried.
As Marquis Shenying Wang Long headed towards Chu Xuan'ao's residence, the entire Zhenyou City was already in an uproar, with countless people rushing towards the Xuanshan Plain.
They seemed to have forgotten their original purpose for coming to You Province, only remembering the strange phenomena in Xuanshan Heaven and the birth of a supreme treasure, displaying a frenzied demeanor.
Among them were some powerful forces from You Province, Koudao Mountain, the Lu Family, the Five Qi Sect, and the You Province God-Extinguishing Hall, all of whom sent people out of the city to Xuanshan.
When Wang Long arrived at Qingxin Elegant Garden, Wang Long had just stepped inside when his eyes widened. "Damn it, these scoundrels! These civil officials are really scoundrels!"
"Shenying Marquis has also arrived."
Below Chu Xuanao, the Prefect of You Province Lu Shuangxing, sat upright. He greeted Wang Long Lu Shuangxing with a smile as he entered.
After leaving Zhenyou City, Li Xunhuan and Chu Mo sped along the way. Xuanshan was not far from Zhenyou City, at least not for someone in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. In less than an hour, the two arrived at the vicinity of Xuanshan.
They could already smell the precious medicinal fragrance and see the distant Xuanshan shrouded in a black mist. Strangely, there was no one for miles around the Xuanshan, making it seem somewhat desolate.
Chu Mo sniffed the surrounding fragrance, carefully sensing the aura, and then spoke to Li Xunhuan.
"This aura does indeed have a medicinal fragrance, and it also has a bewitching effect. Those with low cultivation levels will be unable to resist following the aura. Those who were here before were probably all lured into the Xuanshan by this gas."
"But I can't identify this thing. This sinister aura is different from that of the [Night-Devouring Ghost Flower]. This isn't the aura of a yin spirit. Something's wrong with this thing."
Chu Mo's words were tinged with doubt. He had previously said that the people below couldn't distinguish the difference in this energy, but now he was unsure. Compared with the treasures he knew, none of them matched. This energy was completely wrong.
Li Xunhuan had already stopped in his tracks. Before even getting close to the Xuanshan, he had already sensed what was there. A hint of interest appeared in his eyes, and an aura enveloped him and Chu Mo, concealing their presence.
"Mister Li, what's this?"
Chu Mo, standing to the side, asked, somewhat puzzled.
His strength was inferior to Li Xunhuan's. He could only see the black mist spreading above the Xuanshan and smell its aura. They were still several miles away from the Xuanshan. He didn't understand why Li Xunhuan was concealing his aura.
Even if a powerful expert at the Great Fengtian Realm were to come, they would die today.
With their cultivation levels, what do they have to fear here?
Looking at the distant, Xuanshan shrouded in eerie black mist, Li Xunhuan said with great interest.
"Who says that unusual celestial phenomena always mean the birth of rare and precious treasures? Even in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, unusual celestial phenomena can occur, and these phenomena can also be man-made."
