Skyline.
Four indistinct figures streaked across the sky like lightning.
“Is that Qingxuan Town ahead?” Jiang Chu asked.
“Hehe, indeed it is. This journey must have been tiring for you two, Elder Jiang,” Kunlun Jue said with an apologetic smile.
Jiang Chu frowned slightly but said nothing. It was Jiang Chong, usually the more silent one, who smiled and asked, “Your Black Fiend Region has only twenty major cities and over a hundred small towns, all so far apart. Why not establish teleportation arrays?”
Kunlun Jue and the Vice Palace Master exchanged a bitter smile.
Who wouldn’t know that teleportation arrays would be more convenient?
Kunlun Jue sighed and said, “Elder Jiang, the towns and cities in the Black Fiend Region each have their own power structures. They wouldn’t agree to it.”
The Vice Palace Master added, “Yes, a long time ago, many major cities tried to establish teleportation arrays to consolidate the smaller towns in the Black Fiend Region. But this place is full of ruthless people. If you touch their core interests, the towns and cities will unite against you. Eventually, even the Domain Lord decreed that no teleportation arrays should be established between the towns and cities in the Black Fiend Region, and the matter was dropped.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chu and Jiang Chong nodded in understanding.
For the Black Fiend Region, this made sense.
“Hehe, we’re almost at Qingxuan Town. I wonder just how special that legendary Soul Cleanse Brew is?” The Vice Palace Master smacked his lips and smiled.
Hmm?
Jiang Chu and Jiang Chong frowned at his words.
Seeing this, Kunlun Jue quickly turned his head and whispered harshly, “Vice Palace Master! Our primary task is to help the two Elder Jiangs find someone. Drinking is secondary. Do not confuse the priorities!”
The Vice Palace Master’s face changed slightly, and he laughed awkwardly, “Palace Master, Elder Jiangs, forgive me. I naturally know the priorities.”
…
Shane Peng had spent a fortune to buy a small courtyard near the Longevity Tavern.
He had somehow acquired a rocking chair and placed it in the sunlight outside the courtyard, lying on it.
“Ah, the innkeeper really knows how to enjoy life. This rocking chair is indeed comfortable, rocking back and forth~”
Shane Peng smiled contentedly.
Then he looked towards the Longevity Tavern, where a long line was forming.
Smacking his lips, Shane Peng started counting on his fingers, soon frowning.
“Sigh, according to the queue, it’ll be ten days before I can drink the Soul Cleanse Brew… How will I endure this?”
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Shane Peng raised an eyebrow and sat up from the rocking chair, looking towards the distant sky.
“A Ninth Rank Immortal Venerable, a First Transformation Immortal Emperor, and two Second Transformation Immortal Emperors?”
Shane Peng’s eyes flickered, and he slowly lay back down. He wanted to see what these four were doing in Qingxuan Town…
Thinking of Ambrose Lu, he couldn’t help but wonder if these people were here for the innkeeper.
It certainly had nothing to do with him, so besides the enigmatic Ambrose Lu, Shane Peng couldn’t think of anyone else in Qingxuan Town who could attract such powerful Immortal Emperors.
Never mind, let’s wait and see.
With this thought, Shane Peng lay sideways on the rocking chair, his eyes fixed on the Longevity Tavern.
…
On the streets of Qingxuan Town.
Four figures walked slowly, their eyes scanning the faces of everyone they passed.
The copper mirror in Jiang Chu’s hand showed no reaction.
Kunlun Jue smiled and asked, “Elder Jiang, after such a long journey, shall we go to the Longevity Tavern for a drink?”
The Vice Palace Master’s eyes lit up at the suggestion, his throat moving as he swallowed, feeling a bit greedy.
He dared not speak lightly before, knowing his place as a Ninth Rank Immortal Venerable. His Palace Master, being a First Transformation Immortal Emperor, had some standing before the two members of the Jiang Imperial Clan.
Jiang Chu sighed and said, “Very well, let’s have a small drink first.”
The Longevity Tavern was well-known in Qingxuan Town, and the four quickly found its location and walked over.
As they walked, they continued to scan the faces of everyone they passed, not missing a single one.
…
“Ah, marvelous. After today, it’ll be a while before we can drink the Soul Cleanse Brew again.”
“Hehe, good things shouldn’t be enjoyed every day. It’s that lingering desire that makes it special.”
…
Outside the Longevity Tavern, a group of cultivators reluctantly left the courtyard.
“Drink up and move on. What’s with all the chatter?” Vincent Zuo, standing straight by the door, barked.
The crowd shuddered and quickly walked away.
But then they saw four figures approaching the courtyard without queuing!
On the other side, Shane Peng’s eyes narrowed…
As the gatekeeper, Vincent Zuo naturally noticed first!
In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply…
The two elders in the center… he would recognize them even if they turned to dust!
Jiang… Imperial… Clan!
They still came…
“Hey, who are you four?! Don’t you know you need to queue and register?!”
“Are they new? Don’t even know the rules of the Longevity Tavern?”
“Lord Vincent, these people…”
The cultivators in line were displeased, especially those about to enter next.
“Hmm?”
Seeing the displeasure on Jiang Chu and Jiang Chong’s faces, the Vice Palace Master tensed and suddenly released his Immortal Venerable pressure!
“Ah!! Immortal… Immortal Venerable…”
Instantly, screams filled the air.
The cultivators in line were crushed to the ground, coughing up blood.
Some even had their life force shattered by the pressure, especially those who had spoken out.
It all happened in an instant, leaving everyone stunned.
Shane Peng sat up abruptly, his face darkening as he slowly walked over…
It seemed these four were here to cause trouble…
At the same time, Vincent Zuo clenched his fists, his expression twisted!
Though his current cultivation was insufficient, and he should avoid these people and develop in secret, this situation…
He was now the gatekeeper of the Longevity Tavern!
He had received the innkeeper’s favor just yesterday!
“How dare you cause trouble at the Longevity Tavern! Killing its customers! Arrogant!”
Vincent Zuo’s eyes were bloodshot as he waved his sleeve, and a colorful venomous snake shot out!
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a thousand-foot-long giant snake, coiling in front of Jiang Chu and the others.
Hissing menacingly, its crimson eyes locked onto them.
A battle was imminent.
Oh? A Seventh Rank Immortal Venerable?
Kunlun Jue and the Vice Palace Master exchanged surprised glances.
But Jiang Chu and Jiang Chong looked at each other, their eyes flashing with an unreadable light…
Jiang Chu took a step forward, staring at Vincent Zuo and said in a deep voice,
“What is your name? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity with you…”
