Chapter 963: Arrival at the Sorcerer Clan

Although Dawa had contacted the contact several times, he did not know the other party’s name. This time, he only found a token similar to a travel pass on the other party’s body and knew that his name was Wen Xu.
It was not easy to find out about the Sorcerer Clan, so even the black market did not Imow the background of Wen Xu. However, since the Sorcerer Queen could give him such an important mission, his status was definitely not bad.
She wondered if this person was an open or hidden spy.
“If he’s a hidden spy, it might not be friendly to our situation.”
Yu Wan’s analysis made sense. A hidden spy meant that not many people knew him on the surface. Then how could they contact the Sorcerer Queen?
“Sigh, let’s pray that he has an open identity.”
Yu Wan’s prayer was answered by the heavens. After more than half a month of long journey, they arrived at the entrance of the Sorcerer Clan. This place was somewhat similar to the Great Zhou’s city tower and was specially guarded by soldiers.
There were many sorcerers who did not practice martial arts, but not all the clansmen could become sorcerers. Many also became martial masters. However, they were surprised to discover that the guards guarding the city were not ordinary martial masters, but Rakshasa who were fierce.
Dawa could not help but sigh. “No wonder no one has trespassed on the Sorcerer Clan in all these years.”
Who could break through the city gate with a Rakshasa guarding it?
Shadow Thirteen dismounted and faced Yu Shaoqing and Yan Jiuchao’s carriage. “Master, Young Master, Young Madam, wait here for a while. Wen Xu and I will go and probe their intentions.”
Yu Shaoqing lifted the curtain and looked at the towering palace wall. His gaze landed on the two majestic Rakshasa Kings and he whispered, “They’re not Blood Rakshasas, right?”
Dawa said, “It’s Martial Rakshasa. They only cultivate martial arts and don’t suck human blood, but don’t underestimate them because of this. Every Martial Rakshasa has an indestructible body and their internal energy is much richer than the Blood Rakshasa.”
It was true that the Blood Rakshasa’s powerful recovery ability made up for the lack of internal energy, but the Blood Rakshasa’s backlash was also huge. Therefore, the Sorcerer Clan would not refine such an inhumane thing unless they had no other choice.
Dawa also dismounted and walked towards the city gate with Shadow Thirteen. Other than the two Rakshasas guarding it, there were also a few guards from the palace. Dawa was wearing Wen Xu’s face now, so he did not know if this group of guards recognized him.
“Lord Wen!” One of the guards discovered Dawa and bowed respectfully to him. Soon, the remaining people also discovered him and bowed to him. When the passing clansmen heard the words “Lord Wen”, they all revealed looks of reverence.
It seemed that Lord Wen was not a spy.
Dawa had interacted with Wen Xu a few times and could almost imitate his expression and voice. Dawa calmly walked over and glanced at everyone indifferently. “Alright, there’s no need to be so polite. Did anything happen in the clan while I was gone?”
“Lord Wen, it’s nothing serious,” the guard who was the first to discover him replied.
“Sir, he’s…” Another guard saw Shadow Thirteen beside Dawa.
Dawa cleared his throat and said, “He’s the person I brought. My horse is tired.
Go prepare a few carriages and arrange for a few guards to send me back to the manor.”
‘Yes!”
The guards did not suspect anything and hurriedly went to prepare.
The progress of the matter was much smoother than they had imagined. As it was Dawa who brought them back to the clan, the guards guarding the city did not even have the usual checks. They invited Yan Jiuchao, Yu Wan, and the others into the carriage they had prepared.
Yu Wan sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look at the slightly deserted street. She muttered softly, “The Sorcerer Clan is so heavily guarded, but we came in so easily. What’s the background of this Wen Xu?”
About an hour later, the carriage arrived at an ancient and forbidding manor. On the towering plaque were two large words written in ancient words—Wen Manor.
“Lord Wen, we’ve arrived at the Wen Manor.” The city guard who led the way dismounted and said respectfully.
Dawa lifted the curtain and alighted from the carriage. Almost at the same time, Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan alighted from the carriage.
Then, Yu Wan was stunned. Wasn’t this Wen Manor a little too big?
Dawa was as surprised as Yu Wan. After all, Yu Wan had entered the palace and stayed in the General Manor and City Lord Manor, but Dawa was only a small Guardian of the Black Market’s Dark Hall. Was this, this, this palace-like mansion serious?!
Dawa swallowed. “…This is my house?”
The guard did not understand him. He thought that there had been some changes to the manor before Lord Wen left. As an outsider, he naturally could not tell, so he was suspicious. He smiled and said, “Lord, you should hurry in.
You’ve been gone for so long. The Great Elder must want to see you very much.”
Dawa’s heart skipped a beat. “Who… who did you say wants to see me?”
“Great Elder!” The guard guarding the city was stunned by “Wen Xu’s” reaction. What was wrong with Lord Wen today? He looked like he did something bad and did not dare to go home.
Dawa turned around and did not move his mouth. He only squeezed out a few words from between his teeth and said softly, “This can’t be the Great Elder’s… the Sorcerer Queen’s maiden home, right?”
Shadow Six also walked over. When he heard his words, the corners of his mouth twitched. “He’s not that unlucky, right…?”
“Second Master! You’re finally back!” A middle-aged man welcomed him with a smile.
The guard quickly cupped his hands at him. “Butler Wen.”
The butler of the Wen Manor… This was confirmed! In Dawa’s heart, sorrow flowed back into a river. “Is it too late for me to regret now?”
Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six each held him. “Second Master! We’re back!”
Yu Wan covered her eyes helplessly. If she had known earlier, she would have prayed that Wen Xu was a hidden enemy. They had entered a wolf’s den all of a sudden. Did they feel good now?
Butler Wen was a loyal servant of the Wen family. He was an orphan in his early years and was given the Wen surname by the Great Elder. For so many years, he had been working in the Wen Manor, conscientious and meticulous.
When he found out that the guards guarding the city had sent his second master back to the manor, he quickly took the silver and rewarded the guards. He also personally led his second master and the “guests” brought back by his second master into the manor.
Dawa’s legs were trembling! This was too terrifying. He was a spy, but he actually entered the Great Elder’s house. If the matter was exposed later, he would lose his life!
Shadow Thirteen walked behind Dawa imperceptibly. Seeing Dawa’s legs trembling, he poked him with the hilt of his sword.
Dawa coughed lightly and suppressed the panic in his heart. At this point, it was impossible to escape. He could only use his incomparable acting skills and brace himself to act until the end!
“Is everything alright in the manor while I’m not around?” Dawa asked in a teasing tone.
Butler Wen smiled and said, “Everything’s fine, everything’s fine. The Elder
Hall is busy. The Great Elder has been resting there for the past few days, and Master has also gone over to help. Second Madam caught a cold a few days ago and has recovered. Second Master, you should go and see her later.”
He didn’t say much, but the flow of information was big. In terms of seniority, Wen Xu was a grandson at home. The master that Butler Wen mentioned was his biological father, the Great Elder was his grandfather, and the Second Madam was Wen Xu’s wife.
Yu Wan glanced at Yan Jiuchao. Yan Jiuchao walked without looking sideways. Although he did not look at her, he held her hand under the cover of his wide sleeves, indicating for her not to be afraid.
Of course, Yu Wan was not afraid. With him around, she was always especially at ease.
Dawa followed the principle of saying more and making more mistakes. He cherished his words and did not answer the butler.
Butler Wen glanced at the group of people behind Dawa and glanced at Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan. Yan Jiuchao had the bearing of a noble and exuded a noble aura that made people not dare to look at him directly. Yu Wan was also a rare beauty.
“Second Master, who… are they?” Butler Wen asked softly.
“It’s not your place to ask. Don’t ask,” Dawa said with explosive acting skills as he raised his chin.
“Yes!” Butler Wen lowered his head and stopped overstepping. He brought Dawa and the others to Dawa’s courtyard.
Fortunately, Dawa lived alone. The Second Madam and his concubine were in another courtyard, so there was less risk of being exposed.
Their carriage arrived first. Yu Shaoqing and Zhou Jin’s carriage followed closely behind. Because of Dawa’s instructions, when Butler Wen went to the door to lead them into the manor, he saw the great sorcerer who had the strength of a Heaven Realm at such a young age. He held back and did not ask a word.
Butler Wen said, “Second Master, I’ve arranged for all the guests to enter the room. Do you have any other instructions?”
Dawa said domineeringly, “No more. You can leave. I’ll call you if there’s anything.”
“Yes, Second Master.” Butler Wen left.
As soon as he left the courtyard, Dawa knelt down with a thud. He bit his finger and trembled!
Oh god, oh god! He had infiltrated the Sorcerer Queen’s maiden home! He was going to die! He was going to die!
