Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 139: Entering the County Town

Soon, all the pirates on the ship deck were killed. A few on the boats below were about to escape, but a rain of allows was shot by Mu Yan, killing them all.

Jumping down, he looked at his two children, both extremely exhausted.

They were at the early stage of their respective cultivation – if it wasn’t for the innate talent he gave them, doing such a thing would’ve been impossible.

"You did well," he praised as he waved his hand.

Golden energy flew forward, entering their body.

In just a moment, they felt their body and mind recover fully.

’The blessing of the phoenix can indeed be used freely, not just to assign fortune...’ Mu Yan had used this chance to test one of his Spiritual Inspirations. He now understood that fortune had many uses, and the edict could use it to cast many different blessings.

"Fellow daoist!" a voice came from behind.

He turned and saw that it was the captain.

Although he approached him with large steps, he could see fear and anxiety hidden deep in the man’s eyes.

"Thank you for helping us! I want to reward you-"

"Reward? You will get your punishment later. Neglecting to protect the transport ship is a large breach of responsibility." Mu Yan shot down the man.

"This..." the man looked troubled, but then sighed, "Indeed it was my fault. I will readily ask for punishment myself."

Mu Yan shook his head and returned to his room with the two children.

Naturally the talk of punishment was just to ease the man’s mind and make him sail to the county as fast as possible.

Punishment would mean his collusion with pirates wasn’t discovered. Now that all pirates were dead, he could even cleanly cut off his relationship with them.

...

A day passed and the ship was outside a long line of ships.

Dozens of ships their size were flowing towards a mountain-like island in the middle of the river.

There was a small opening at the bottom, and with these brown ships stretching far and wide, it looked like they were the roots of a spiritual plant.

"I’ll just go there on my own." Mu Yan said as he willed his spiritual power.

It wrapped around his legs and his two children.

With a large jump, he directly crossed the hundred metre distance between the ship and the ground on the side.

The sudden shift required a few seconds of adaption for these children.

Seeing they were alone now, Yuanhan asked, "Father, that captain... he doesn’t look good at all. I have a feeling he colluded with that pirate."

"I think so too. In such cases, when you still need these people to work for you, just give them a reason to feel safe and then imprison them later."

Yuanhan nodded, mentally noting this.

"Father," Yuanyun asked again, "about the matter..."

"I know what you want to ask. For now, we will enter usually and inspect the county town from the view of first and second stage cultivators.

In the future, doing such a thing will be difficult.

Also, as far as I know... there should be people who approach us right after we announce our return.

Before doing so, we should check the forces and make a list of which ones we will ally with, and which one we will ignore."

He thought back to his feeling from before, as well as the Hua families’ connection to one of the noble clans here.

Based on this, there should already be two forces expecting him.

He walked with steady steps, his two children right behind him.

Soon, they reached a different opening on the land.

Here there were even more people lined up, waiting to enter.

Mu Yan entered from a different way – there were three roads. The right one was common cultivators, the middle one was higher cultivators, and the left one was people of high status.

He had been wearing his eunuch robes this whole time because traveling eunuchs were common. It wasn’t rare for them to adopt a few children, even if they weren’t part of the royal family.

In fact, most eunuchs didn’t directly serve the royal family.

Only a few like him did.

Many times, they would serve nobles from other factions.

After all, nobles were those that pursued the paths of Literati or Martial Arts, both of which are respected, but this also means they don’t use their fortune as much.

He was the only one on the high-ranking lane, but no one stopped him.

When he reached the end of the road, two guards were standing by.

They cupped their hands, "Greetings esteemed eunuch!"

He simply nodded and walked in.

Imposing as an eunuch was one of the things no one would do. The eunuchs... had a deep sense of revenge. If one of theirs was killed or his robe was stolen, then the enemy would become the enemy of every eunuch.

The guards allowed him and his children to pass, especially when they saw the crimson and azure robe on these two children.

When they were gone for some time, one of the guards exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Such a noble set up of an eunuch and two who have already awakened at such a young age!

Do you think they’re from some large noble family?"

"Of course they are! Just look at their demeanour, who but these large families has the ability to teach people so good?"

"I don’t know about this...

Aren’t the families in our Stone Lotus County Town also great? But..."

"Sshhhh!" the other man shushed him, looking at him like he was an idiot.

"Matters of the nobles aren’t things we can discuss."

They didn’t know that their conversation was heard by Mu Yan who wanted to see their reaction.

After all, the behaviour of servants reflected the behaviour of their master. In this case, the guards would definitely reflect the general behaviour of the citizen.

’The noble families here seem to have a notorious reputation. At least one or two have. And based on these guesses, does it mean that there are youths who don’t know how to behave here?’

He suddenly got a headache. Would this simple inspection result in any kind of trouble?
