Inside the City God Temple there were many buildings arranged in rows, and incense was burned in the sky of each building.
All the men, women, old, and young in this city are burning incense and praying for peace.
Feng Zun and the others suppressed their auras and mingled with the crowd, so they did not attract much attention.
Soon, they arrived at the main hall of the temple.
He saw a 90-foot statue.
The statue was female, and its figure was graceful. Under his waist was the body of a coiled snake. His hands were crossed in front of him, and he was holding a lantern that looked like a lotus flower.
Two worshippers of the gray-robed temple were adding oil to the statue.
All the men and women entered the line, and they offered incense, knelt down, and prayed. All of them had sincere and solemn expressions as they chanted the prayer verses.
"As I thought."
As he looked at the statue, Feng Zun verified a conjecture in his heart.
Back when he was in the Dark Cloud Country, he had seen a statue that looked exactly the same. At that moment he sensed that the statue had an aura similar to the painting of Great Lord Mingluo, he had concluded that the image of the woman inside the statue was from the Ghost Serpent Clan.
The Ghost Serpent Clan was one of the nine great royal clans in the Netherworld. In the eyes of the evil spirits, the Ghost Serpent Clan was called the Lantern Sovereign, and they had an extremely high status.
Now, when he saw this statue in this City God Temple, he no longer had any doubts in his heart.
“It looks like the Ghost King Mingluo is indeed from Netherworld origin, and he has experts from the Ghost Serpent Clan by his side.”
Feng Zun thought to himself.
"Does everyone want to offer incense and pay their respects?" Said Yin Ying.
Feng Zun shook his head and said to the others, "Let's go."
In the past, Long Shangdi had lived for quite some time in the Netherworld and was revered as a God. Even the imperial ancestor of the Ghost Serpent Clan did not even have the qualifications to sit in front of him. He could only bow from far away!
"Daoist colleague, please wait."
However, just as Feng Zun and the others were about to leave, a white-haired elder in black robes suddenly came up to them.
The figure of the elder was thin and his eye sockets were slightly sunken. His eyes were light brown as he smiled and cupped his fists towards Feng Zun.
"I'm Yu Linshang, I'm here on the orders of my young master."
If it was someone else, they would definitely ask about your young master's name, why did you invite us?
But in contrast to Feng Zun, he simply glanced at the old man and said, "Is your young master the Holy Son of Nirwana?"
The black-robed elder, Yu Linshang, said in surprise, "Daoist Dean, you recognize my young master?"
Feng Zun replied nonchalantly, "No, I don't want to know him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left just like that.
Yin Ying and the others followed behind.
Yu Linshang was stunned and frowned, then he hurriedly turned around and entered the hall beside the City God Temple.
In the hall, a red-robed young man with a majestic figure was drinking wine.
The young man looked to be around 20 years old, had slanted eyebrows, starry eyes, and a handsome appearance. There were black stone hairpins in his hair, and every move he made carried an arrogant aura that looked down on the world.
Other than the red-robed young man, there was also a group of figures standing within the hall. Just by their clothes, one could tell that they were all great figures who had occupied high positions in a clan for a long time.
Regardless of whether they were male or female, their bodies were surrounded by a high cultivation aura.
However, when these great figures faced the red-robed young man, their expressions more or less displayed respect and fear.
After drinking a cup of wine, the red-robed young man's eyes swept over the large figures with his gaze and said,
"There were only four months left before the Eternal Lotus Competition, personally led by the Great Emperor of Long Empire, was about to begin. Urgent time. I hope everyone can find the 'Yin Spiritual Water and Yin Spiritual Meridians' within three months. If not…"
When he spoke up to here, he let out a light sigh. "Otherwise, I can only absorb the cultivation of all of you to refine the Supreme Yin Energy."
His voice was light and sluggish, yet when his words entered the ears of those great figures, it caused their entire bodies to become stiff while their expressions changed.
One of the beautiful women in palace clothes said bitterly, “Reporting to the Holy Son, I received the news yesterday that the Yin Spiritual Meridian has been found in the depths of the Green Ice Valley in the Pyton Cloud Mountain, so I rushed with the Supreme Elder of the Spiritual Vein Sect, Mochi Lian, as soon as possible. But who would have thought that the operation would still end in failure.”.
If Feng Zun and the others were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that this beautiful woman was the first elder of the Spiritual Vein Sect, Yuxue.
Yesterday, this woman, Chu Meng, and the other Mortal Realm cultivators had lowered their heads and admitted defeat before Feng Zun. Only after taking out their treasures did they finally manage to survive.
Yet now Yuxue had appeared within this City God Temple, and she summoned the red-robed young man as the Holy Son!
"Yin Spiritual Meridians?"
The eyes of the red-robed youth lit up as he said, "Tell me in detail what happened yesterday."
Yuxue immediately told him everything that had happened in the depths of the Green Ice Valley without hiding anything.
When they found out that a young man of a dozen years had easily killed Qian Wu, Mochi Lian, Yin Juanshan, and the other Immortal experts from the Southern Continent, an uproar cry immediately broke out.
"Who is he? Why have I never heard of him before?
"Four Immortal experts from the cultivation faction in the Southern Prefecture have joined forces. Three dead and one escaped. This is. It's too scary..."
The expressions of the great figures were covered in shock and disbelief.
Even the red-robed young man could not help but be moved, and he revealed a surprised expression.
After a while, he recovered his composure and said, “If it matches what you said, then this Feng Zun is truly a terrifying figure! Even to the extent that he might be like me, one of the figures who survived the Heaven-Residing Energy in the Dark Era.
This...
The shock wave still resounded.
They were clearly aware that the red-robed young man was the figure of the Young Master who had just awakened from the seal that had constrained him nearly 50,000 years ago last year, he said, and its origin was extremely frightening while its resources and reserves were also extremely outstanding.
If it was true that young man named Feng Zun was a figure like a red-robed youth, then his origin would have been incredible.
"Must say, you're really lucky to survive under the pressure of such a person."
The red-robed youth glanced at Yuxue.
Yuxue. “After what the young master said, I finally understood how lucky I am to be able to survive.”
"Could he be a Sovereign, a lucky person with great destiny luck, or a genius who obtained an ancient inheritance ... Now, coupled with the fact that so many horrible freaks like me have survived since ancient times, the world is becoming more interesting ..."
The red-robed youth sighed with emotion, and he seemed to be filled with anticipation.
"Young Master, Feng Zun has taken the Yin Spiritual Meridian. Do you think we can take it from him?"
A man in gray robes asked gently.
The red-robed young man laughed out loud, “You are just an ordinary Mortal cultivator, yet you still dare to think about this matter? Aren't you afraid Feng Zun will flip his palm and kill you? If you intend to destroy it? You must be tired of living. "
The gray-robed man immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"It wasn't your fault. After all, you are merely a cultivator who grew up in this mortal world. Your horizons are limited, and you simply do not understand the terror of those monstrous geniuses.
The red-robed youth thought for a moment and said, “If it was me, then, first of all I have to figure out the background of this person before I can determine exactly how much price I have to pay to catch him. After all, such a monstrous genius could not be judged by convention at all.
Everyone's hearts were stirred once again. Only now did they realize how dangerous that so-called 'terrible genius' was.
Otherwise, with the red-robed young man's disposition, he probably wouldn't have spoken such cautious and conservative words.
At this moment, a white-haired, black-robed old man rushed into the side hall. It was Yu Linshang, who had spoken to Feng Zun and the others before.
"Young Master, those cultivators rejected your invitation and turned to leave."
Yu Linshang whispered.
“How dare they! They even dared to disrespect the Holy Son Master?"
Someone frowned and said in an unfriendly tone.
Yu Linshang said, "This matter is indeed strange. The young man in charge seemed to have guessed the identity of our Holy Son, but he said that he did not even want to know the Holy Son."
The red-robed young man was stunned, and then he sneered. "Are they worried that I, the newly appointed Holy Son of the Ghost Fiend Sect, will hurt them?"
Yu Linshang asked in a low voice, "Young Master, this old man has seen those people before. Since they had hidden their aura, I did not find anything special from them. I wonder if Young Master has sensed something and invited them?" Just now, the red-robed young man was drinking wine, but he suddenly frowned. He took out a black bone hairpin from his hair bun and examined it."
Everyone look over.
After which, he instructed Yu Linshang to go to the main hall of the City God Temple and invite those cultivators.
However, no one knew why the red-robed young man did such a thing.
“Before, this hairpin heirloom of mine had made an unusual move, and she felt an extremely pure spiritual body. After I sensed it for a while, I noticed that this pure spiritual body was hidden within the Soul belonging to the young man leading it."
The red-robed young man did not hide anything and said directly, “You all also know that this Hairpin comes from the Nether Spirit Stone and it is an ancient precious treasure, , and this heirloom was able to sense the fluctuations of the strength of all spirits, and what he felt must have had an incredible origin. . So, I was curious in my heart and wanted to meet them. If possible, I would like to make a deal with them and purchase the spirit body within the young man's soul."
Everyone is enlightened.
A tall bearded man took the initiative to ask, "Young Master, this is easy.Since those cultivators are in Jade City, we can easily find them with our methods. When the time comes, I will help you to buy the spirit body that the young man has."
"We're ready to go too."
When the others saw this, they also expressed their opinions.
The red-robed youth pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, Elder Yu Linshang, bring some people to meet those cultivators."
Yu Linshang took his orders solemnly. "Good!"
The red-robed young man casually picked up the wine jug and poured the wine while saying slowly, “Remember, it is better if you do not move. I don't want the world cultivators to think that I, Nie Tian, am someone who can take things by force.
Yu Linshang smiled and said, "Relieve me, Young Master."
The red-robed youth waved his hand, "Go, in six hours, I will have to leave Jade City. Before that, I hope you can solve this problem."
*what Nie Tian meant was that he was after Ning Sih.
