"But it’s no problem," the shopkeeper said. Mo Wen found it amusing; if it weren't for having a "master," he would probably struggle to gather any information.
"The location of the Mo Family is now a forbidden area in the Empire, so it’s natural that you can’t find any news about them outside," the young man explained. The matter he was inquiring about was quite simple; anyone with a certain level of cultivation in the Realm would know this, which also proved that the young man was not a local.
"A forbidden area?" No wonder he couldn't find anything out; it had been renamed. But why change the name? Could it be that something truly unexpected happened?
"Yes, this is also why the news may not be useful to you. A few years ago, the Empire issued a notice stating that they discovered what appeared to be the residence of the Mo Family, a family known for their weapon forging, but it had already been abandoned. You should know that although the Mo Family is a renowned forging family, very few people walk among the world, let alone find their residence. Thus, the Empire named this place the forbidden area, and no one is allowed to approach it. So unless you have a special pass from the Empire, it would be impossible for someone of your cultivation level to enter. Initially, everyone could only speculate until those who entered the forbidden area gradually discovered forged weapons and other items, further confirming that this forbidden area was indeed the residence of the Mo Family. Even so, those items rarely made it to the outside world; this Cangyue blade was something I acquired after much effort." Although Shopkeeper Gao was just a shopkeeper at Jiwubang, she didn’t know much more than what had been revealed.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Gao. Please take a look at this." Mo Wen took out a bag and placed it on the table. Having obtained the information he needed, there was no reason to linger.
"Very well. If you truly wish to seek out the Mo Family, you might try in the imperial capital," she said as she put away the bag and handed him back the blade.
"Thank you!" Knowing this much was sufficient; he wasn’t genuinely looking for the Mo Family. He only needed to investigate that forbidden area. Ha! What an abandonment; it seemed there was a significant connection between the Shu Cang Empire and the disappearance of the Mo Family.
By the time he exited Jiwubang, night had fallen. The nights in Snow City were not as lively as in Yinzhou City; the desolate streets made the already cold weather feel even chillier. Wandering along the street, he observed the shops on either side and chose one bustling with people to enter. When he came out again, his clothes had changed into fur garments commonly worn by Shu Cang people, and his appearance had transformed into that of a middle-aged Ran Xu man. This was to prevent anyone from following him. Upon leaving Jiwubang, he noticed several individuals glancing at him repeatedly; he didn’t suspect they were from Jiwubang but rather likely participants in an auction.
"The forbidden area... where have I heard that term before?" In an inn, Mo Wen pondered over Shopkeeper Gao's words; he was not unfamiliar with "forbidden area."
"Boss, those three idiots from Lava Sea have their treasure site in the forbidden area," Xiao Hei reminded him.
"No wonder it sounded so familiar; it's actually Gong Gan's treasure site." Xiao Hei had read this using his skills before Gong Gan met his demise while trying to use it to bribe him. Remembering this, Mo Wen hurriedly rummaged through Gong Gan's belongings. When he initially sorted through his gains, he had only discarded Gong Gan's Gong Family token but recalled there being another token whose purpose he hadn’t understood at that time; now it seemed it might be of great use.
Inside Jiwubang, Gao Xue'e finished counting today’s earnings when a worker walked in. "Shopkeeper Gao, Young Master Di is asking about that blade..."
