Gold Firmament City was bustling, with pedestrians streaming through the streets and carriages and carts constantly passing by.
This was a sparsely populated street with numerous buildings, including towers and palaces. It was a residential district.
A two-story Azure Pavilion stood there. The plaque bore the three large characters "Azure Bamboo Pavilion," and the doors were tightly shut.
Inside a secret chamber, runes flickered across the stone wall, radiating powerful Restriction fluctuations. A thin, weak-looking Daoist in azure robes sat on an azure stone bed, his brows tightly furrowed.
A golden orb hung at his chest, its spiritual light flickering incessantly.
"Strange. Why do I keep feeling that something is about to happen? The Gold Basket Pearl can conceal my fate. Even a Diviner at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Stage would have a hard time deducing my exact location, right?"
The Daoist in azure robes muttered to himself. He was none other than Spring Autumn Rogue.
He had cultivated in seclusion for many years and had finally reached the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Stage.
While carrying out a mission outside, he had been captured by a Pseudo-Immortal. After being subjected to threats and inducements, he defected to the Chaos Beasts, was planted with a Restriction by a Pseudo-Immortal, and returned to the Ten Thousand Immortals Commerce Alliance to lie low.
By chance, one of the commercial associations under his management had collected a piece of Source Material. Since his rival had also gained the favor of Immortal Lord Jinxu, he simply snatched the Source Material and fled.
He did not go to the Chaos Beasts' territory. Instead, he hid in Gold Firmament City and contacted the higher-ups of the Bargut Tribe, asking the Chaos Beasts to send someone to Gold Firmament City to trade with him.
