Chapter 69 Angry
Ciel also did not expect that Mei Mei would go to such lengths for her own cousin to help him. He couldn't help but show her a look of gratitude.
And Mei Mei smiled brightly at that. She glanced at Mu Yixue for a moment, as if to tell her that I'm more meritorious.
The problem was that Mu Yixue hadn't helped at all, even trying to advise Ciel.
Of course, Mu Yixue was annoyed by Mei Mei's glance. She could sense some sort of sarcasm from her. This made her feel as if she was being challenged by her.
She thought that it was indeed a mistake here, but this was indeed difficult because she was already used to the Ice Palace's ideology. The truth was that her own ideology was like that even before she became part of the Ice Palace.
'Maybe I need to change later,' she thought after a while.
Ciel was clearly the type who lacked morals, otherwise he wouldn't have used such a nasty method on her.
Now she was under his control, even already having deep feelings for him. Whether she liked it or not, she would have to adapt to accept his way of life.
Then, Ciel said, "let's go to the Holy Cloud Continent."
His voice could be heard by the Ice Palace disciples, making them stare at each other.
"Ciel, what are we going to do there?" Mu Yixue directly asked.
Although she guessed that it was related to the key, she still wanted to know the details.
Ciel didn't answer, but put the key in her hand so that she could also get that information.
In the few moments after that, she immediately showed surprise.
"The Mountain King, really his tomb," she muttered, which puzzled Ciel as there seemed to be something unique about the person called the Mountain King.
"Who is he?" asked Ciel.
"He's the genius who once made a splash in the Realm of Life," Mu Yixue replied.
"His talent can be said to be very high, or perhaps he had something that made his cultivation increase very quickly. You might not know, but when he died as a Fourth Stage Demigod, he was only in his mid-20s, only slightly older than us."
"Are you serious?" Ciel was surprised to hear that.
Some geniuses might be able to become Demigods in a short time, but then, it would take time to break through each stage in the realm.
"His tomb is always sought after, people will hope to discover the secret of his cultivation speed. It even attracts the interest of Gods," Mu Yixue added.
Of course, that made sense. After all, such amazing things always gained people's curiosity.
Although the mirror said that the level of the key was too low for the Ice Goddess and the Elf Queen, it was only because it didn't know that the key belonged to a special figure.
If the two women knew, even they would probably be interested.
"Now let's get moving," Ciel said, not delaying any longer because this was really something important.
They then went to a certain area where there were many Teleportation Formations.
It was a very crowded area, even more crowded compared to the area around the palace.
Various types of people could be found here, whether they were from the Ice Continent or from other continents. Most came probably with the purpose of trading.
Those Teleportation Formations had a whirlpool-like shape, but they were in the air with a black hole in the center and were full of mysterious runes.
The arrival of the Ice Palace's entourage immediately brought activity in the area to a halt.
At this moment, a snowman came approaching.
"Greetings Prince, Miss Mu!" He greeted Ciel and Mu Yixue before saying, "do you guys want to go to a continent? You can tell me which continent you want to go to, the formation will be instantly ready for you."
He didn't mince words since he already knew their wishes.
Mu Yixue nodded to him, probably already familiar with him.
"We want to go to the Holy Cloud Continent," she replied.
"I see! Please follow me..." The snowman immediately led the way to a Teleportation Formation that was quite large.
Those who happened to want to use that formation had no other choice but to delay it first.
By the time Ciel and the others arrived in front of the formation, it suddenly glowed, and the snowman then said, "please enter, Prince!"
This would be the first time for Ciel to enter the Teleportation Formation. For most people, the first time could be an anxious one, similar to the first time boarding an airplane on earth.
Accidents were not unheard of in using the Teleportation Formation, in fact the percentage was far more frequent than car accidents on earth.
Problems with the formation or some experts who were strong enough to damage the formation's path could cause such a fatal accident that everyone who entered the formation died.
However, Ciel did not find the slightest nervousness, perhaps because he was confident in the formations protecting his body.
He tapped Pegasus on the shoulder, telling her to come forward.
Of course, the creature could also protect him in the event of an accident, her power as a First Stage Demigod could ignore the effects of the Teleportation Formation's damage.
After him, the others soon followed.
It just so happened that as they were leaving, Mei Ao and Hei Ling came along. Both of them showed gloomy expressions as they looked at the vortex where Ciel and the others had disappeared.
"I can't accept this, I must take revenge," Hei Ling said, gritting his teeth.
Even his hands were trembling, as if he wanted to fight now.
Opening the tomb with that key was one thing because once the tomb was open, others could also enter.
However, Hei Ling knew that the use of the key was more than just opening the tomb.
This was quite common in every powerful cultivator's tomb. Keys to open tombs were usually also used to open certain very valuable things, such as treasure chests. That was why in any tomb exploration, keys always played an important role, and why the owner of the key tended to keep it a secret that they were the owner of the key.
Mei Ao, though not the owner of the key, was almost as angry.
However, he also felt helpless.
He had thought of various schemes to make Ciel suffer for holding the key, but he couldn't think of any.
Even if they spread the word, there would probably be no result at all since it was held by the Ice Prince, the man suspected to be the son of the Ice Goddess.
Who would dare to challenge him and ask him to hand over the key?
Mei Ao wondered if any of the geniuses from the big factions would dare to do so.
Actually, that was also the only option, spreading the news while wishing Ciel harm.
