Not long afterward.
Lingxiao Business Alliance Headquarters, rear courtyard.
"That one... has finally returned from the Endless Void River."
While Ling Pengyun chatted with the senior members of the Lingxiao Business Alliance stationed here, his powerful divine sense faintly detected the arrival of the Primordial Unity Heavenly Monarch.
Moreover, the Primordial Unity Heavenly Monarch was, after all, the lord of Primordial Unity Immortal City. Figures like him, who had entered the Void Refinement realm thousands of years ago, usually possessed countless methods and could not be underestimated.
Besides, Ling Pengyun had come to Primordial Unity Immortal City mainly to deter the Primordial Unity Lineage, lest they cause trouble while leading the Lingxiao Business Alliance in attacking the small realm.
He had not come to provoke them.
Thus, Ling Pengyun temporarily set aside his work, left the rear courtyard, and went to greet the Primordial Unity Heavenly Monarch, who had just entered the Lingxiao Business Alliance Headquarters.
Before long, the two met in the headquarters' main hall.
"I am Ling Xiao. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Primordial Unity."
"By the way, I often hear from my Dao companion and my juniors that the Lingxiao Business Alliance I founded has frequently received your care. This has brought no small benefit to the development of my Lingxiao Business Alliance."
"Therefore, please accept another bow from me."
Ling Pengyun looked at the somewhat plump Primordial Unity Heavenly Monarch, who carried an air of wealth and nobility, and raised his brow slightly. Then he cupped his hands and smiled.
Immediately afterward, he took out a top-tier Fifth Grade Peak defensive artifact he had recently refined, the Thick Earth Shield, and presented it to the Primordial Unity Heavenly Monarch as a gift of thanks.
Although that shield was not of a particularly high grade, its quality was excellent.
