Chapter 822: Chapter 112: Wang Erniu: There’s Cheating Going On?

Time flies,

quickly, ten months passed, and only one month remains before the official start of the Spirit Seizing Conference.

At this time, Jinyang Immortal City is almost overflowing with people, with cultivators from all over Great Jin coming here,

wanting to witness this once-a-century grand event,

while also taking advantage of the rare gathering of cultivators to collect treasures and resources from various regions.

On this day, Zhou Xun and True Monarch Tianci, along with another person, were chatting leisurely in the cave mansion,

when suddenly, outside the door, a flash of fire flew in, transforming into a Sound Transmission Talisman and landing in Zhou Xun’s hand,

with a flick of his finger, an unfamiliar voice sounded.

"Sun Qian, disciple under the White Bone Mountain, pays respects to Elder Zhou Xun!"

"White Bone Mountain?"

Upon hearing these three words, Zhou Xun was momentarily stunned.

He was naturally aware of this sect, which is the largest sect in Jingzhou, ranking among the top ten in the entire Great Jin,

within its sect alone are over twenty Nascent Soul cultivators,

what is even more astounding is that there are also two Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators,

and its Supreme Elder, Master Hundred Bones, is an existence at Nascent Soul Peak, renowned throughout Great Jin for his formidable strength.

Yet Zhou Xun had never had any contact with people from White Bone Mountain, and the purpose of this disciple’s visit left him somewhat puzzled.

But considering that the counterpart is from Jingzhou’s largest sect and he himself would need to work in Jingzhou in the future, he decided to go out and meet him once.

Upon opening the large door, he saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, standing respectfully at the entrance,

upon seeing Zhou Xun come out,

the middle-aged man bowed deeply, cupping his hands in courtesy, and slowly spoke:

"Greetings, Elder Zhou, my Young Master has arranged a banquet at Celestial Fragrance Tower tomorrow, inviting you to attend, and we humbly request your presence!"

"Here is the invitation!"

Saying this, he took out a delicate invitation and offered it to Zhou Xun with both hands.

Zhou Xun accepted it, pondered for a moment, and then asked:

"I recall having no connection with your Young Master, why invite me?"

"I know not of this matter, the Young Master merely sent me to deliver the message!" The middle-aged man replied respectfully.

Zhou Xun frowned slightly, his thoughts racing,

this Young Master he had never met, yet since his arrival in Great Jin, he had not engaged with anyone,

his information here is essentially a blank slate.

Now this so-called Young Master from White Bone Mountain not only found his cave mansion accurately but also knows his name,

indeed something unusual, when strange things happen, there’s bound to be a reason, Zhou Xun decided to uncover the truth,

besides, Celestial Fragrance Tower is located within Jinyang Immortal City, perfectly safe,

Jinyang Immortal City also prohibits fighting, even if White Bone Mountain plans something, he remains unafraid,

thinking it over, Zhou Xun decided to go, and nodded:

"Alright, reply to your Young Master for me, tell him Zhou Mou will certainly attend at that time!"

"Thank you, Elder!" The middle-aged man was overjoyed upon hearing this, cupping his hands again before departing.

Zhou Xun returned to the reception hall and briefly shared the matter with True Monarch Tianci and others.

"Could it be related to the Spirit Seizing Conference?" True Monarch Tianci speculated.

Zhou Xun is currently registered with Jiangling Prefecture in Jingzhou, and White Bone Mountain’s sect gate is also in Jingzhou.

"I guess so too, well, I’ll go to Celestial Fragrance Tower tomorrow and see what they are up to!" Zhou Xun spoke.

"Should we accompany you there?"

"No need, within Jinyang Immortal City, no one dares defy the rule for random fighting!" Zhou Xun shook his head.

It must be known, the rule of no fighting in Jinyang Immortal City was personally established by the Jinn Dynasty Divinity Transformation Ancestor,

back then a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator dared to act arrogantly within the city,

ended up being publicly slain by the Great Jin Ancestor, and since then, the entire city became solemn, and no one dared act recklessly here.

...

Quickly, a day passed, arriving at the day of the banquet hosted by White Bone Mountain’s Young Master.

Early in the morning, Zhou Xun had already risen and left the cave mansion.

Celestial Fragrance Tower is one of the four great taverns in Jinyang Immortal City, offering various exquisite delicacies, said to mostly be crafted from the flesh of Tier Three Demon Kings,

and even some dishes made from materials of a Tier Four Demon Emperor.

After about half an hour, Zhou Xun arrived at his destination, Celestial Fragrance Tower.

This tower is grand and mighty, standing five stories high, and its flying eaves and brackets are inlaid with various rare gems, reflecting a brilliant display of colors.

The pillars flanking the entrance are engraved with exquisite dragon and phoenix designs, lifelike, seeming as if they are about to soar into the sky.

As Zhou Xun approached the entrance, he saw a middle-aged man coming up to greet him, the same person who delivered the message yesterday.

"Greetings, Elder Zhou, our Young Master will be delighted to see you!"

"Please follow me to the top floor." He said, leading the way ahead.

Entering Celestial Fragrance Tower, it was bustling inside, the hall was filled with cultivators, their conversations and clinking of cups merging together.

The air was also thick with the aroma of wine and delicacies.

The Young Master of White Bone Mountain had reserved the entire fifth layer,

Zhou Xun followed the middle-aged man across the hall, ascending the stairs all the way up.

Upon reaching the fifth layer, it was much quieter here.

The middle-aged man arrived at the door, lightly knocked: "Young Master, Elder Zhou Xun has arrived."

"Please invite him in." A young man’s voice came from inside.

The middle-aged man then opened the door, gesturing inside before respectfully leaving.

The fifth floor was extravagantly decorated, the ground covered in thick carpets, faintly emitting spirit light, Zhou Xun’s perception naturally recognized it as being from a Tier Four demon fox!

Tier Four Beast Hide used as a carpet, even he had never seen such extravagance.
