Chapter 925: Chapter 162: Your Name Is Also Zhou Xun?

Under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, there are twenty-seven prefectures,

Jiangling Prefecture ranks twenty-second, with fourteen Nascent Soul level sects and over three hundred Core Formation level sects under its jurisdiction, all of which are under the control of Jiangling Prefecture’s Pavilion Master.

On this day, in Jiangling Prefecture City, at the Teleportation Hall,

three figures appeared on the high platform,

"Brother, we’ve arrived at Jiangling Prefecture so quickly!"

"With this Great Jin teleportation network, the whole continent is connected as one. Even if you’re in a border county, you can reach the Imperial City in less than a quarter of an hour!"

"If only our Eastern Wilderness could have such a meticulous teleportation network!" Wang Erniu couldn’t help but express his admiration.

"Great Jin occupies an entire continent and trades across the world, which is why they have reached such a scene!" Zhou Xun shook his head,

but at the same time admired the planning of the Jinn Dynasty’s ancestor; without this teleportation network, governing an entire continent would have been absolutely impossible.

The three then walked down from the high platform.

"Greetings, seniors!" At this moment, the cultivator in charge of activating the teleportation array bowed respectfully.

Zhou Xun nodded slightly, his expression indifferent: "No need for formalities. Does this teleportation array have frequent traffic?"

The cultivator quickly replied: "In response to the senior, there are many cultivators traveling back and forth, either for trade transactions or cultivation exchanges, all using this teleportation array to travel to various places."

"How many people come and go each day?" Zhou Xun continued to ask.

"Most of the time, about a thousand cultivators come and go daily!"

"Hmm, that’s good. This teleportation array is indeed a hub of Jiangling Prefecture." Zhou Xun nodded,

sweeping his gaze around, seeing the spacious and bright Teleportation Hall, with runes shimmering on the teleportation array emanating a mysterious light, and cultivators rushing about busily.

Wang Erniu also curiously examined the surroundings and couldn’t help but ask: "I’ve heard there are many sects in Jiangling Prefecture, are there any particularly powerful ones?"

The cultivator’s eyes flashed with a trace of awe:

"There are indeed. For instance, the Profound Spirit Sect, where experts are numerous, and there are four or five Elder Nascent Souls among them, with the Grand Elder at the peak of Middle-Stage Nascent Soul,"

"His Earth Attribute Divine Techniques are well-known throughout Jingzhou."

"Then there’s the Spirit Flame Valley, skilled in Fire Manipulation and the Path of Artifact Refining, whose refined magical treasures all possess powerful Flaming Power. Their valley master is a Tier Four Middle-Grade Refiner, and many people from Jingzhou commission them for customized magical treasures!"

Zhou Xun’s heart stirred; the strength of these sects sounded formidable,

"Do these two sects recruit outer disciples?"

The cultivator shook his head and said: "These two sects are extremely strict in selecting disciples; only those with extraordinary talent can enter. However, periodically, they hold exchange events inviting cultivators from various places to compete and exchange. If someone performs well, they might obtain some opportunities."

"Thank you for the information." Zhou Xun took out a bottle of Foundation Strengthening and Essence Nourishing Elixir meant for Core Formation Stage cultivators and bestowed it upon the middle-aged man,

who then left the Teleportation Hall with True Monarch Tianci amidst his gratitude.

Just outside the hall, they saw the streets of Jiangling Prefecture City wide and bustling, lined with shops on both sides, offering all kinds of rare magical treasures, elixirs, and spirit plants.

Zhou Xun and his companions strolled on the streets, feeling the prosperity of Jiangling Prefecture.

"Brother, what should we do next?" Wang Erniu asked.

"We’ll head straight to the Prefecture Government Office; I have an auxiliary token in hand, and the Tier Four High-Grade Mountain Protection Array of the Immortal City is under my control!" Zhou Xun slowly spoke.

These arrays are the reason the new Pavilion Master can quickly seize power,

With the support of the arrays, he is not afraid of facing Great Cultivators,

Furthermore, the prefecture city is the key hub to the state city and even the Imperial City, encompassing the industries of the various sects’ forces,

They naturally wouldn’t want to trouble the Pavilion Master.

Not long after, the three arrived at the legendary Prefecture Government Office,

...

"Brother, this is the Prefecture Government Office, it seems quite grand!" Wang Erniu stared in awe at the continuous high mountains behind the gate, unable to help but gape.

"The spirit vein here is just of low grade, only Tier Four Middle-Grade, but in terms of range and scale, it’s no inferior to Danyang Royal Mansion!" Zhou Xun muttered to himself while staring at the scene before him,

"Even to accommodate an entire sect would be more than enough!"

Before them was a tall gate, about twenty zhang high,

Beneath the gate were two rows of guards,

dressed in pitch-black spirit armor, helmet, face shield, heart guard, skirt armor... wrapped securely from head to toe.

Each was at the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation, and leading them was a man with a full beard, at the Early-Stage Core Formation,

This man probably wasn’t well regarded in the prefecture, otherwise, he wouldn’t be assigned to guard the main entrance.

"Greetings, seniors. Is there any matter I should inform the Pavilion Master about?" Upon seeing Zhou Xun and his companions, the man bowed.

"Pavilion Master?" Hearing this term, Zhou Xun showed a look of confusion,

Wang Erniu and the others exchanged glances as well, clearly indicating that Zhou Xun had not yet taken office, so why would there be a Pavilion Master’s presence?

"Could it be that someone has impersonated?"

Zhou Xun’s eyes sharpened, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, he asked calmly: "May I know who the current Pavilion Master is? I have an agreement with the Pavilion Master, and I came here for some official handovers."

The man with the full beard frowned slightly, seemingly surprised by Zhou Xun’s words, but still replied respectfully: "The current Pavilion Master is Lord Zhou Xun, who has been in office for over ten years!"
