Chong Province—Mount Chongyang lay in the southwest of Chong Province. It was the largest market in Chong Province and the site of the Hundred Immortals Assembly.
The Great Yan Dynasty held the Hundred Immortals Assembly once every five hundred years, and it had already been held dozens of times. Each assembly drew a great number of cultivators. The Great Yan Dynasty attached great importance to this grand event, and this time was no exception.
As early as half a year ago, Mount Chongyang had activated most of its Restrictions, increased the number of Patrol Cultivators, and transferred in a group of cultivators from the Myriad Immortals Bureau to tighten security.
Exotic flowers and rare herbs carpeted Mount Chongyang, while bizarre rocks rose in jagged ranks. From the foot of the mountain to the mountain top stood buildings of every size: crude stone houses, magnificent palaces, and elegantly furnished pavilions. Vast numbers of cultivators moved through the streets; carriages flowed like water, horses surged like dragons, and the clamor of voices filled the air. It was exceedingly lively.
Wang Tianwen and Murong Yuyao strolled down the street, chatting and laughing together in perfect harmony.
Wang Tianwen had been tasked with making contact with Prince Li of the Great Qin Dynasty, and he had handled the assignment well. While carrying out that mission, he had encountered Murong Yuyao being pursued by Demon Cultivators and saved her. With that connection between them, the two had steadily grown closer.
This Hundred Immortals Assembly was being held in Chong Province, territory controlled by the Murong Royal Clan. Murong Yuyao had been ordered to Mount Chongyang to maintain order, never expecting to run into Wang Tianwen.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I have you to thank for last time. Otherwise, this little sister's life would have been lost.
