Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 112: 112 experts gather together for what reason

The sword named Cold Sky Sword was sent to Mu Hanfeng by a messenger from his grandfather in the Capital after he ascended to the rank of a Fourth-tier Swordsman at the age of twelve, displaying his astonishing talent. It was said to be crafted by a master and could be considered a divine weapon. Reflecting upon it, his grandfather truly cherished both siblings; it was only to protect his sister that he had no choice but to have Mu Hanfeng stay in Heishi City as well.

Mu Hanfeng treasured the Cold Sky Sword immensely and was hesitant to use it casually. Today, he was unexpectedly generous enough to give it to her. Mu Hanyan’s initial reaction was to refuse. She already owed her brother too much; how could she take his beloved possession?

”I’m lending it to you. Remember to return it to me personally when you come back; otherwise, I won’t let you off,” Mu Hanfeng seemed to anticipate her thoughts and cut her off before she could speak. After speaking, he thrust the Cold Sky Sword into her hands, turned, and walked away, still with his cool and aloof demeanor.

Tears suddenly filled Mu Hanyan’s eyes. Although her brother maintained a seemingly indifferent facade, the underlying message in his words was that he wanted her to make sure to return alive.

”Mm,” Mu Hanyan nodded solemnly toward her brother’s receding figure.

...

Dragon Whisker City, located at the foot of Longyan Mountain a thousand miles from Heishi City, could be likened to a giant dragon lying across the Great Saint Continent if one viewed it from above, with Dragon Whisker City aptly named after its location at the dragon’s whiskers.

The city was not large, even smaller than Heishi City, but it was one of the cities in Anyun Country closest to Longyan Mountain.

Longyan Mountain stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles, crossing nearly all the nations on the Holy Court Continent. The mountain range had an uncountable number of Exotic Beasts, Heavenly Materials, and Earthly Treasures, resembling a colossal natural treasure house, which naturally attracted cultivators, treasure hunters, practitioners, and merchants from various countries looking to trade.

Several days later, Mu Hanyan, along with Mu Nan, Zirong, Huayue, and Che Xiang, arrived in Dragon Whisker City by carriage. The streets were bustling with people, most of whom were cultivators with longswords hanging at their waists.

Let alone Level 7 or Level 8 swordsmen, one could even have the good fortune to see a few Great Swordsmen, who were at the pinnacle of Level 10.

Seeing so many masters, Zirong and Huayue, who had yet to grow and mature, couldn’t help but show looks of longing, while Mu Nan was filled with awe.

Observing their extreme caution in walking, vigilant to avoid bumping into a significant figure they couldn’t afford to provoke, Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. She, too, had briefly stayed in Dragon Whisker City once, and at that time, her cultivation had already reached the peak of a Level 10 Great Swordsman; most people here would have had to salute her.

Of course, these glorious past events were not to be mentioned lightly. She opted for a cheap and somewhat shabby inn, well aware that she was no longer the same Great Swordsman, and it was wise to maintain a low profile.

Just as she had paid her silver and was about to return to her room, she saw an elder with several attendants enter the inn.

A Great Swordsman! Mu Hanyan was slightly startled, only now remembering the past glory she had experienced during her stay in Dragon Whisker City, and unexpectedly encountered a master with the same level of strength.

”Sir, how could an inn like this be worthy of your stature? Perhaps we should find a different one,” one attendant suggested.

”There’s no need; we have important business in Dragon Whisker City and should try not to attract attention,” the elder said in a deep voice.

”Yes,” the attendant looked around, appearing very vigilant.

It was at that moment that a middle-aged man entered the inn.

Another Great Swordsman! Mu Hanyan was once again surprised.
