The Story of Nine Journeys

Hidden Covenant

Meanwhile, in the Valley of Hell sect, there was currently a meeting between the main family of the leader of the black sect

" Dad, this is not the time to talk about it " said Mei nervously

Previously there was a conversation about the personal life of Xin Mei the daughter of the Patriarch of the Hell Valley sect as well as the Young Miss of the Mo clan ,in the conversation Mo Gao Zu as the leader of the Mo clan alluded to his agreement with the Jun clan head Jun Fengbao which if Jun Fengbao had a son he would marry or be betrothed with his daughter who was a child at the time

The agreement is not without cause because when Xin Mei was little she was exposed to a strange disease where she could not be exposed to the sun or her skin would blister

Because Mo Gao Zu was friends with Jun Fengbao he accidentally informed Jun Fengbao of his daughter's condition when Mo Gao Zu was almost desperate because despite having tried to do all the means to treat his daughter but none of it worked

Jun Fengbao then helped her through Xue Xianzi's wife who was a female physician in the Jun clan,Xue Xianzi, who was pregnant at the time, agreed on the condition that Mo Gao Zu himself should help her with Jun Fengbao, of course, because his healing method besides using some rare herbs must also use the pure blood of the clan Mo as one of the ingredients of treatment and of course in need of great strength and energy when doing this method because it must use a special seal in the Jun clan

Without a doubt Mo Gao Zu agreed to it because no matter how cruel he was still his family was the top priority for the survival of his clan and sect

Long story short they managed to cure Xin Mei of her illness,feeling indebted Mo Gao Zu then vowed by watching all members of his sect he said his promise if the child in the womb Xue Xianzi was born a boy then his daughter would be married to him unconditionally regardless, if born female then she and all her sect members must consider her Young Miss of the Valley of Hell sect and until now Mo Gao Zu and all members of her sect still hold that promise

As for Jun Yuan he had no knowledge of this at all, during his life Jun Yuan had never been told by Jun Shandian nor Ren Xiaohua even though both of them knew about the agreement,Xin Mei herself had known for a long time because her Father and Mother had told her directly but even so she refused the arranged marriage because she felt she had never known or seen people in person the one he's been betrothed to for her all along

So even though Jun Yuan and Xin Mei had met several times, the two never knew if they had bonded since childhood,Xin Mei did not know that the young man she called her husband was really her future husband, for Jun Yuan was definitely empty

During the Jun clan massacre that nearly killed all of its members,Mo Gao Zu was not unwilling to help but Jun Fengbao himself forbade him for fear that the Hell Valley sect would be dragged into the matter and feared that the Hell Valley sect would end up the same fate as the Jun clan

The last time the two met was when Jun Fengbao and his wife were seriously injured,Jun Fengbao said to take good care of Miss Xin Mei because their son was also confirmed to have survived the incident and the two left and disappeared without any news

Years later when Xin Mei grew up many big black sects came with her Young Master to propose to her,due to pressure from various parties finally Mo Gao Zu was forced to accept it on the condition that whoever Young Master managed to defeat the person appointed as his representative against the Young Lords suitors, the Young Lords,of course the person he was appointed was equal in terms of strength level with the other Young Lords of the sect but until now no one had been able to defeat the representative appointed by Mo Gao Zu

Because of that, Xin Mei was not allowed to travel or go out if no one was watching or accompanying her even though the strength of Xin Mei herself was never doubted,because of feeling constrained as a result Xin Mei often comes out quietly or runs away alone, even though she is not really alone unless she goes out with her father or other main family members

The atmosphere instantly turned tense as Aura and murderous air seeped from the Patriarch of the Hell Valley sect

" Listen, no matter how bad I am, I'm not just going to give up my family to someone else just because that person is valued without having any responsibility for all his actions,I'll voluntarily give my family to someone I consider worthy or equal to you "

Silent,,,,,,

" And I'm not the one who breaks the promise, either, that's the threat, so, so, uh,,,as long as I haven't found anyone worthy of me or anyone who makes me fulfill my promise you must obey me or the rules of the family, understand "Patriarch Mo Gao Zu ends his words

Xin Mei was downcast with a trembling body, her eyes shed tears, hoping to get through everything well without having to live with people she did not know

" Husband,, pick me up, get me out of here "Say him in your heart while looking at the bracelet that is coiled around his wrist

Elsewhere in Jinzi City

After being introduced as a member of the Northern Sword sect by Lin Zhi, Jun Yuan was currently in a meeting with dignitaries and leaders representing some of the Alliance sects,they exchanged information and discussed strategies to deal with the coming enemy

Because according to the current decipher unit the Qin Imperial Army in large numbers is heading to Jinzi city and is expected to arrive within four to five days

Gu Yelu as the Leader of the Alliance Forces who is the leader of Jinzi city asked for advice and opinions from all Alliance members in order to get the best solution to overcome the problem

Gu Yelu also ordered the soldiers to evacuate the citizens to safety slowly so that when the time came for war they were not disturbed to save the residents and focus more on the war

As expected, the Qin Empire army arrived on the fifth day,they set up tents on the outskirts of the forest some distance from the city gate for a place to rest as well as temporary headquarters and also deliberately chose the place to avoid the sight of their movement if it will carry out attacks or secret plans
