The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 504: This Person Was Not Sent Here!

While Minos rested beside Abby and Ruth, a young woman with black hair was just arriving at the City of Waters on her mount.

She wore a typically noble outfit with female armor that highlighted her proportionate body. But while the beauty of this young woman's curves could draw the attention of anyone in this region, the most impressive thing was her eyes.

The iris of this woman's eyes had a reddish hue that was extremely beautiful to see. Depending on how and when they were seen, it would give the feeling that they were on fire!

But as this young woman was passing through the streets of this city ruled by Mirya, several people in the streets were watching her intently. Not because of her first-rate beauty but due to her cultivation level.

In the City of Waters, many people were at the 5th stage. Therefore, they were able to sense the energy fluctuations of other cultivators. For this very reason, many people walking along the streets that this young woman was walking through could feel her level 50 cultivation.

As such specialists rarely passed through this town, many people could not help but look at this woman.

There was a certain admiration for powerful experts in this region that made ordinary people admire even strangers. And as such, it was no different for this young woman in this current situation.

But she was already used to those looks of appreciation, respect, envy, so she didn't even bother with it and soon followed her destination.

The local government mansion!

...

"I wonder if sister Viola and aunt Mirya will be surprised at my level, hehehe."So she thought to herself as she entered the mansion's reception in the central part of this city.

And in doing so, she readily made her spiritual probe as she walked towards the interior of this place.

She didn't need to wait for anyone, since as the daughter of the Stokes family patriarch, Mendy would not have to go through situations like that, as she was within her own territory.

Everyone there already knew of her distinct identity, and soon Mendy went up the mansion's stairs, heading towards the level 51 person. After sensing this, she immediately stopped in her tracks.

'That's not aunt Mirya!' She thought to herself, realizing the difference in the spirituality of this level 51 person that was in this mansion.

Even though Eda had the same cultivation as Mirya had the last time this young woman saw her, it didn't make it any more difficult for Mendy to realize that they were different people. After all, each person has their own spiritual fluctuation, which was very easy for cultivators to distinguish!

As such, this young woman realized this and soon accelerated her pace to find out what was going on. 'What happened? Had aunt Mirya been sent elsewhere? But that shouldn't happen so soon...'

Finally, after a few seconds of walking through that building, she arrived in front of the cultivation room there, where there were the necessary items for 6th stage cultivators to train and cultivate their techniques in this mansion.

"Hmm?" She made a sound with her mouth closed, seeing the silhouette of a woman with her back to her. 'Who is this person?'

At the same time, when Mendy seemed to want to ask a question while facing Eda cultivating, a subordinate of this mansion approached that spot.

"Miss Mendy, Mrs. Eda was sent from headquarters a few weeks ago to replace Mrs. Mirya." The middle-aged woman said this in a low voice.

"What? Why did Mirya leave here? Do you know?"

"Looks like she had an urgent family matter, and the family gave her a few weeks to sort it out."

Upon hearing this, Mendy frowned tightly. "You said this woman's name is Eda, right?"

"Yes, Miss Mendy."

'There's no Spiritual King in our family with such a name!' Mendy thought to herself as she gazed at Eda's figure. 'This person was not sent here!'

"Alright, can you leave us alone?" She suggested it to that middle-aged woman just before she started to walk into that room where Eda was.

After that, that subordinate of the Stokes family didn't take long to leave that area, while Mendy was already preparing to attack Eda.

She wanted to capture Eda alive and then interrogate this woman about what happened to Mirya and the reason for such an invasion. As a young girl from a noble family with a complete set of Black-grade techniques, Mendy was sure she could capture a person of a level above her own in this region...

And promptly, a big hand began to form on the ceiling of that place, at the same time as Mendy released her cultivation pressure to knock Eda out.

However, as she did so, Eda almost instantly noticed the changes in her surroundings and opened her eyes, ready to react.

"Who are you?" Eda asked in a curious tone as she quickly appeared behind Mendy with a dagger pointed at the young woman's neck.

'What frightening speed!' Mendy felt a shiver down her spine, realizing that she had underestimated her opponent and had ended up in this passive situation.

But then she took courage and spoke without fear. "I'm the one who asks you that. Who are you? You are certainly not a subordinate of the Stokes family, let alone a member!"

Hearing this, Eda smiled for a moment. She then ran her dagger around the neck of this young woman in front of her, finally reaching the spot where the human spiritual organ was located. "You only have one more chance to speak…" She whispered into Mendy's ear.

'Shit!'

The red-eyed young woman then swallowed her saliva and responded. "My name is Mendy Stokes."

"Oh? So it's you... I've been waiting for you for some time now." Eda commented with satisfaction when she finally let go of that young woman and pulled a letter from her spatial ring. "Take it."

"What is that?"

"Read, and you will know."

'Mendy, this woman who has just given you this letter is called Eda, and she is a person I asked to replace me in the City of Waters while...' The young daughter of the Stokes family patriarch then began to read the contents of the letter Mirya had left for her with Eda.

Mirya hadn't written the whole truth about her situation in the Dry City. However, she had still put in a lot of truthful information that would surely draw Mendy to that location. Minos had suggested it, so Eda hadn't minded letting this young woman read it.

And in fact, when she finished reading the contents of that letter, this young woman could not help but be interested in this subject. "Is what is written here really true? How do I know you didn't kidnap her and are using it against me to lure me into a trap?" She asked doubtfully.

Eda then smiled and said. "This is simple!"

"If we wanted to do anything bad to you, I alone would be enough..."

"But look at this, I didn't do anything after finding out your name."

After hearing such a thing, Mendy couldn't help but feel another shiver down her spine. She really could have been killed easily by Eda earlier. It was just lucky for her that there wasn't any interest on the other side to do that.

When she thought about it better, this young woman quickly accepted Mirya's letter as valid. 'So there is a person who wants to make a deal with me in the Dry City...'

'But how can this place have the opportunities Mirya says? Isn't the Black Plain a poor, dead place?' She pondered until she faced Eda and asked. "Did you come from the Dry City?"

"Hmm. Are you interested in going there?"

"Yes."

"Good. Let's leave a notice for the subordinates of this place so we can head towards the Dry City..." Eda said when she finally started to prepare to leave this post.
