Another World: How to Practice Without Spiritual Energy

Chapter 169: Black Man and Moon Shadow Palace

The streets of the holy city were extremely quiet late at night.

A black figure appeared and disappeared among the shadows on the street, and behind him was a black Shar-Pei dog, following slowly from a distance.

Chen Xian sat on a roof holding Baozi. Every time he touched the cat, a white halo would appear where his palm touched the cat's body.

"Baozi, you've been sleeping for a month, why don't you wake up?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Just then, a black Shar-Pei dog ran in, it was Mantou.

"Mantou is back."

When Chen Xian saw Mantou, he knew that the other party should have arrived, so he stood up and let Mantou lead the way.

Soon, the man and the dog arrived at the gate of a yard.

This is also the accommodation arranged for this competition, and the size of the yard does not seem to be smaller than that of Fatty and his friends.

Chen Xian groped his way into the yard and came to a house that was blocked in his spiritual consciousness. He jumped onto the roof, restrained his breath, turned over the tiles, and finally saw the scene inside the house.

There were four people in the room, including a woman in a red dress whose back was only visible, but she had a graceful figure and long dark red hair.

A fat man holding a chicken leg and eating it happily.

One of them held a long sword, wore a veil on her face, and had a black and white disc necklace on her fair and slender neck.

There was also an old man at the door of the house.

I did not see the shadowy figure.

When he saw the fat man's face, Chen Xian raised his eyebrows.

It turned out to be an old acquaintance, the third prince of the Maurya Empire - Agu Khan. Then the girl with the long sword next to her should be Liu Yiyi.

Chen Xian had never seen the old man before. As for the woman in the red dress whose enchanting back she could only see, although she had never seen her face, she always gave her a familiar feeling.

After a while, Prince Agu Khan took Liu Yiyi and the old man out of the room.

Chen Xian did not go to meet Agu Khan because he had not seen the shadowy figure yet.

Sure enough, when the woman in the red dress was the only one left in the room, a dark figure walked out from the shadows in the corner and saluted to the woman in the red dress.

"Palace Master, people from the Tianqing Empire's Ness Magic and Martial Arts Academy have come into contact with the Druid Tamer."

I can actually hear the sound. It seems that the old man who just set up the barrier is at a high level. Ordinary barriers cannot block the detection of Chen Xian's spiritual sense.

"Druids? Ancient races are also here to compete for God's rewards. This is getting more and more interesting. Go back and make arrangements. We want to make this competition more interesting."

The voice of the woman in the red dress was ethereal and charming, which made Chen Xian feel very familiar.

After the black shadow left, Chen Xian did not move, looking at the back of the woman in the red dress. At this time, the woman turned around, and the red scarf blocked her delicate face.

The exposed purple eyes exude a bewitching attraction. Although her full appearance is not revealed, her curvy figure and bewitching eyes fully demonstrate the charm of a woman.

However, there was a hint of disappointment in Chen Xian's eyes, perhaps because it was not the figure in his mind.

Chen Xian arrived outside the courtyard of the Peacock Empire. When Mantou saw him coming out, he hurriedly ran over with his tail wagging. He turned his head and barked at a street in the north, then continued to follow the black shadow with Chen Xian.

After Chen Xian left, the woman in the red dress raised her head and looked towards the place where he had just been, with a somewhat resentful look in her eyes.

"You didn't recognize me so quickly? This is good."

"Princess, you asked me to remove the barrier so that the human could hear it?"

A person in a red robe appeared out of nowhere, with a long cloak covering her face. The woman's voice was ageless and she was very respectful to the woman in the red dress.

The woman in the red dress frowned slightly and said in an unhappy voice.

"Moonlight, you have become like Moonshadow. I hate you a little. Remember your identity and let that person know. It will only make it easier for us to deal with the Church."

The red-robed man bowed and his figure disappeared into the air.

……

Mantou brought Chen Xian to the outer city, where some forces that had signed up to participate but were not on the Vatican's invitation list gathered.

There were tents set up everywhere in the open space, and groups of people were sitting around the fire to keep warm.

Most of these people were dressed in clothes styled by the three great empires, with a small number dressed like foreign barbarians.

Mantou walked towards a group of people wearing animal skins and with dark skin.

"Good...dog, give...a big bone...to eat."

One of the little girls, speaking in unskilled mainland Chinese, threw a bone to Mantou.

How could the hellhound, which was used to eating high-level monsters, be interested in these foods? However, in order to create a chance of contact, it still reluctantly picked up the bone and came to the black girl.

"Hey, you greedy dog. You're here to eat for free again. I'm causing you trouble." Chen Xian chose the right time and ran over.

"It...doesn't matter. I...like...animals." The girl still spoke in poor mainland dialect.

Although the girl has dark skin, her facial features are very delicate, her eyes are bright, and her white teeth are particularly eye-catching when she smiles. If her skin were white, she would definitely be a beauty according to the aesthetic standards of mainlanders.

"You are here to participate in the competition, right? You don't look like residents of the mainland. Are you from an island in the southern sea?"

Chen Xian asked based on his knowledge of Blue Planet's geography.

The girl's eyes suddenly brightened, and even the leading old man beside him looked surprised.

"Brother, do you know the islands on the sea?"

"Of course, compared to the ocean, the mainland is just a small boat. There are many civilizations on the ocean. Little sister, you speak the mainland language very well. Which island are you from?"

Chen Xian pretended to be knowledgeable and was surprised by the fluent mainland Chinese that the girl spoke anxiously just now.

The old man on the side saw that Chen Xian seemed to know a lot about overseas islands, so he spoke.

"My friend, you are absolutely right. Compared to the ocean, the mainland is just a small boat. They are not humble enough. We came from afar, but they didn't even provide us with a place to stay. Moreover, they looked at us with impolite eyes."

Seeing that the conversation had begun, Chen Xian followed the old man's meaning and belittled the behavior of the mainlanders and the arrangements of the Holy See.

His words made the old man feel very happy. He invited Chen Xian to sit down and took out some special island food to treat him.

Chen Xian drank coconut milk, ate lobsters bigger than Shar-Pei buns, talked about his views on the ocean, and gradually became friends with this group of black people.

"Moon God, there are still learned people like Brother Dongri on the mainland. Yes, there is a fish in the sea that is bigger than a dragon. It sprays water from its head and only eats small fish and shrimps. It is not a large fish. We on Solo Island call it Tukun."

Hearing the name, Chen Xian almost spit out a mouthful of coconut juice. He coughed violently a few times and took the opportunity to say goodbye.

If he continued talking, he was afraid that his image of being knowledgeable would be exposed.

I just casually created a whale based on the marine life on Blue Planet and added some magical modifications. I didn't expect that there would really be one here.

Tu Kun, will there be any Avatar here?

Putting aside the strange thoughts in his mind, Chen Xian thought carefully. After the conversation just now, he had a general understanding of the people from the islands.

Solo Island is an island in the south of the mainland. The monsters in the ocean are more terrifying than those in the monster forest.

The people of Solo Island rarely leave the island, and at most they go to a few nearby islands.

The islanders have lived on the island for generations, so their magic and martial arts civilization is very backward, and they do not have the belief in the God of Light like the mainland.

Until 20 years ago, a group of people who claimed to be messengers of the Moon God came to the island, displayed powerful miracles, and conquered all the people on the island.

The islanders built a palace on the highest mountain of the island, where the Moon God messengers lived. From time to time, they would select some children to enter the palace to learn magic, martial arts and the continental language. The people of Solo Island gradually became stronger.

In order to make the light of the Moon Goddess shine further, the people of Solo Island conquered all the nearby islands.

This also made all the islanders revere the sacred palace on the high mountain.

The name of that palace is Moon Temple.

This time they crossed the sea to come to the mainland to participate in the so-called magic and martial arts competition, which was also an instruction issued by the Moon Temple.

"Moon Temple! What an ancient name! Is it a remnant from ten thousand years ago, or is it like what the old monkey Shi Wan said, has the seal been loosened?"

Chen Xian's frown suddenly relaxed and he smiled.

"Who cares? If they can get out, the ones who should be worried are the charlatans in the Vatican and their leader, the God of Light. Maybe I can take advantage of the chaos to rescue my princess wife."

After figuring it out, Chen Xian disappeared into the night.
