Chapter 899 - Looking for a base
A few days later, the group of three returned to Heavenly City. They didn’t go home, but headed to Memory Restaurant directly.
The manager was currently settling the accounts when he felt Sima You Yue’s aura. He raised his head and saw her, as he expected.
“Young Master.”
Sima You Yue nodded at him, asking, “Which house is Feng’er and the others living in?”
“Heavenly Fragrance Building.” The manager replied.
“Then I’ll go ahead and look for them directly.” Sima You Yue said, “Right, is Shi Qian Zhi and the others still around?”
“They’re already left two days ago.”The manager replied.
“I was unable to send them off.” Sima Yu Yue mumbled, “Alright, go ahead with what you need to do. I’ll go look for them.”
Memory Restaurant was a wine shop at the front and an inn at the back. Most of it consisted of lone houses. Shi Qian Zhi and the others stayed in the Moonlight Building. Right now, everyone was in Heavenly Fragrance building.
She and Wu Lingyu went to the Heavenly Fragrance building where she stopped to take a look.
“Yue Yue, what are you think?” Little Seven puzzled.
“Nothing much. I just thought of Qiu Shuang. I wonder whether or not she will impulsively do anything stupid when she goes back.” Sima You Yue said, “I hope that she won’t, but everyone has their own ways of living. My thoughts can’t change her mind. After all, our strength levels are different.”
“If you miss her, you can just look for her when we reach the inner regions.” LIttle Seven said, “Even if you worry about her here, she will never know.”
Sima You Yue smiled, but she didn’t say anything.
Was she worried about her? Maybe. However, it was more likely that it wasn’t worth it.
Ni An Yi happened to come out from the house and saw the three coming from far away. He shouted excited, “Boss, you’re back!”
Sima You Yue looked over and smiled, “An Yi, are you guys done too?”
“We reached a few days ago. The brothers and I have been waiting for you!”
“Then let’s head in.”
When they saw that Sima You Yue was back, everyone was rather excited.
After exchanging greetings for a while, everyone began to discuss.
“Boss, you sent us out to find a good location, and we’ve found a few in the central regions. Come and take a look.” Feng Zhi took out a sketch and presented it to Sima You Yue.
“”Are all these places ones that you have personally gone to see?” Sima You Yue selected a few places from the sketch. There were some large areas in the central regions and it was very expansive.
“Yes.” Feng Zhi said, “We have gone to all of these places to scout them out. They are all places where people are scarce and are rather secretive places.”
“Tell me about the general situation of each place.” Sima You Yue said.
“Alright. We’ll talk about this place in the Barren North…
Feng Zhi elaborated on a few places, but Sima You Yue was dissatisfied with all of them.
“Barren North, Western Liang, Southern Desolation, Eastern Ridge, they’re all huge. Are you afraid of finding an unsuitable place?” Wu LIngyu said, “If you feel like it isn’t good after hearing about it, why don’t you go down to take a look and decide.”
“Feng’er, have you seen these places?”
Ximen Feng shook his head.
“Then let’s go together. Senior Brother, I’ll have to trouble you.” Sima You yue siad.
Wu Lingyu glanced at those placed, then used his hands to form a seal and opened a portal, leading the group through it.
They first came to the desert in the Barren North. Aside from the endless sand, there was not a single life form.
“This environment is even more hazardous than the Karma Desert.” Little Seven pinched her nose. She didn’t like it one bit.
“What is outside this desert?”
“There are third-ranked powers.” Feng Zhi said.
“This place isn’t a natural stronghold. If we set the sect up here, we will be discovered easily.” Wu LIngyu analysed.”
“I feel the same. Let’s take a look at the next place.”
The group went to Western Liang, a swamp and a mountainous area. They were all rejected by Sima You Yue.
These places were not secretive enough. They would easily be discovered.
“Are the other places like these?”
“The places are different, but they’re around the same.” Feng Zhi said.
“Actually, the sects right now are all in areas like these. If you want secrecy, you’ll have to set up your array to block it.” Wu Lingyu said. “When the time comes, just set up a barrier outside.”
Sima You Yue shook her head, saying, “The strength of our group will be different from the others. From the start, we are set to spill blood and kill. Later on, the people that will be enlisting will be those who are being hunted down as well. We have to ensure the secrecy of our sect. This way, we won’t be harassed everyday.”
“But for places like this, it will be rather difficult to find.” Ni An Yi said, For a place with a natural stronghold, we’ll only be able to get it if we conquer it. However, places like these would have already been conquered by other sects.”
There were countless powers in the inner regions, both big and small. The better places had long since been occupied.
“There will always be.” Sima You Yue said, “The continent is only so big, won’t it be occupied by others?”
“Then, do you still want to take a look att the other places?” Ximen Feng asked.
“No.” Sima You Yue said, “If the other places are like this one, it will be pointless to go.”
“Your subordinate has failed you…” Feng Zhi said rather guiltily.
The boss had entrusted them to find a place, and they had spent so much time trying, but they did not find a satisfactory one. She wouldn’t doubt their ability because of this, right?
“There is no need to blame yourself.” Sima You Yue siad, “Actually, the places that you’ve chosen are all good. However, that is for the average sect. Every single one you chose is possible. However, our circumstances are more unique. That is why these places are unsuitable. If we cannot find a better one, we will use the ones you’ve chosen.”
“Now that you mention it, I’ve thought of a place.” Ximen Feng said.
“Where?”
Ximen Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, “That place is a very dangerous place for others. However, for you, that might not be the case.”
“There’s a place like that?” Ni An Yi asked, shocked.
“Where is this place?” Dai Yi was curious as well.
“Heartbreak Valley.”
Ni An Yi and the others sucked in a breath, crying with surprise, “Heartbreak valley? That place has poisonous insects everywhere. There are even places that are poisonous to each other. Most people die when they go there. Who would be able to set a sect up there?”
“That’s right. I heard that most people die upon going close. Even the capable ones can only wander about outside. To set a sect up inside there is too outrageous.”
“If you set the sect up there, the people that we recruit would die before entering.”
Feng Zhi and Feng Kai furrowed their brows as well. They didn’t understand why Ximen Feng would suggest this place.
Sima You Yue’s eyes lit up as she clapped her hands, “This place isn’t bad. If we want to set our sect up in the valley, most people wouldn’t even be able to come in if they wanted to. Come, let’s go there and take a look!”
Wu Lingyu would grant her every desire. Upon hearing that she wanted to head there, he immediately opened a portal through space.
Feng Zhi and the others looked at each other. She wasn’t for real, was she?
