A Call from the Black Abyss

In Clear Wind City, at the Linglong Treasure Pavilion.

Meng Wei was quite surprised by Xiang Tian's return. He treated him to good food and wine, after all, this was genuine Sky Crystal, which meant money!

"Little brother Xiang Tian, are you studying at the Immortal Academy now?"

Meng Wei raised his cup to Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian nodded, "Yes, there are countless monsters at the Immortal Academy. To avoid the limelight, I had to run out."

Xiang Tian said this with a sense of helplessness, which made Meng Wei pause in surprise.

Countless monsters? He naturally understood that Xiang Tian was joking and comparing the people at the academy to monsters. But it made sense, there were only two types of people there: those with terrifying talent that bordered on monstrous, and those with incredibly powerful backgrounds.

When Xiang Tian could directly spend twenty million, he figured he must belong to the latter category of top-tier individuals.

Meng Wei made up his mind to serve this young master well.

"Classmate Xiang Tian, I heard that the academy had a falling out with the Ding Family a few days ago. I'm a curious person, can I presume to ask what happened?"

Xiang Tian smiled, holding his wine cup as he looked at Meng Wei, "What, did you miss the live broadcast that day, shopkeeper?"

Meng Wei sighed, "I was reconciling accounts that day and didn't have time to watch. Afterwards, I only heard about it. The news was too heavily suppressed, and they say even the Changning Immortal King came forward."

Xiang Tian put down his cup, "It's not a big deal. It's just that I crippled the Ding Family's young master that day."

"Clatter!"

Xiang Tian said it nonchalantly, but Meng Wei shivered. The chopsticks he was about to use to pick up food dropped onto the table.

He stared at Xiang Tian with wide eyes, "Little friend Xiang Tian, you... you're not joking with me, are you?"

Xiang Tian calmly picked up a piece of food and mumbled, "There's no need to joke with you about something like this."

Good heavens, Meng Wei rubbed his knees with both hands. He felt that sitting opposite Xiang Tian made him feel unworthy.

The Ding Family's young master, what kind of concept was that? The Artifact Immortal Sect behind the Linglong Treasure Pavilion, you knew about them, right? They could barely be considered equals to such influential families. Xiang Tian had crippled their young master with a single word, how could he accept that?

Moreover, rumors said an Immortal King was backing him. This was truly outrageous, Meng Wei never expected to be drinking with someone like this one day.

"What's wrong, shopkeeper? Why aren't you eating?"

Meng Wei forced a dry laugh. How could he dare to eat?

"It's nothing. I've always been easygoing, otherwise I wouldn't have come to bother you. By the way, Ning Rong, do you have any impression of that name?"

Xiang Tian asked casually, not holding out much hope. To his surprise, Meng Wei slapped his thigh, looking very excited.

"I know, I know! Is it that Ning Rong from the Immortal Academy?"

Xiang Tian nodded and looked at him, anticipating the rest of the story.

"You know the Queen Mother of the West from the Jade Pool Immortal Realm in the east, right? Ning Rong is her own granddaughter!"

Meng Wei's face was flushed as he spoke. He genuinely admired such a powerful figure, and his words became somewhat incoherent.

Xiang Tian also didn't expect Ning Rong to have such a powerful background!

Among the three great Immortal Kings of the Heavenly Realm, the Queen Mother of the West was one of them, someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Changning Immortal King. As for the last one, there were only legends about him, and he appeared very rarely, making him the most mysterious.

Furthermore, it was rumored that when the Changning Immortal King was young, the Queen Mother of the West had feelings for him, but the Immortal King was oblivious, focusing solely on his cultivation until he achieved the Dao.

Although the Queen Mother of the West was a wife and mother, her cultivation had never slackened. She had advanced by leaps and bounds, and after establishing the Jade Pool Immortal Realm, people said she still harbored feelings for the Immortal King, but ultimately no one dared to ask.

It was likely that the Changning Immortal King had a headache when he accepted Ning Rong back then.

No wonder, no wonder she was so arrogant. Her status as a second-generation descendant was probably the strongest in the entire Immortal Academy!

Soon after, Meng Wei seemed to realize something and shrank his neck, daring not to speak. This was bad, what if Xiang Tian had provoked Ning Rong?

He heard that Sinan Yao had been pursuing Ning Rong, and he didn't know if it was true. If it was, then Xiang Tian had provoked two great figures!

Let alone his humble Linglong Treasure Pavilion, even the Artifact Immortal Sect couldn't handle that!

Xiang Tian stroked his chin and muttered to Meng Wei, "Tell me, what should I do if I offend a young lady like that!"

Meng Wei was stunned. Had his guess been correct?

What could be done? He had to find a way to get Xiang Tian out of here quickly. What if they tracked him down to their Linglong Treasure Pavilion? Wouldn't they be finished?

But he still didn't dare to speak, only lamenting his misfortune in his heart.

Xiang Tian put down his chopsticks and sighed deeply, "Forget it. If it really doesn't work out, I'll go visit her grandmother and explain things clearly."

Xiang Tian said this with a light tone, but Meng Wei's heart was in turmoil.

Going to see the Queen Mother of the West? You're saying it far too casually.

Suddenly, Xiang Tian sensed something and took out a square object.

This was a very common communication device in the Heavenly Realm; people often used these to contact each other.

He looked at it and saw an unfamiliar number.

Xiang Tian answered, and the voice on the other end was also unfamiliar.

"Xiang Tian, I advise you to quickly send the Divine Armor to the Endless Sea, otherwise, you will bear the consequences. We will infiltrate all your information, word for word. If you don't want to implicate your family, this is the best course of action."

Meng Wei heard the voice clearly and was so scared he almost fell to his knees.

Watching Meng Wei tremble uncontrollably, Xiang Tian curled his lip and replied directly into the communicator, "If your Black Abyss has the ability, go ahead and investigate. I don't mind. Oh, right, let me give you a heads-up. You've made a move against me, and I won't let this go. You should also talk to the Ding Family and tell them that once I'm done with these few days, I'll pay them a personal visit."

After speaking, he directly hung up the phone.

Purchasing communicators in the Heavenly Realm was very strict, requiring real-name registration. It was normal for the Black Abyss to be able to find his number, and Xiang Tian didn't take it to heart.

At the Black Abyss headquarters, the Abyss Master, seeing Xiang Tian hang up his call, was so angry he smashed the communicator to pieces.

"This is outrageous! Some brash kid dares to threaten me!"

The Abyss Master jumped and stomped, but he was helpless against this fellow.

Inside the Linglong Treasure Pavilion.

"Young friend Xiang... Xiang Tian."

Meng Wei wanted to toast him, but his hand wouldn't stop shaking.

Xiang Tian clinked his cup against Meng Wei's and said indifferently, "It's nothing, just a clown. It's just that I have to fight Sinan Yao in a few days, so I don't have time to deal with them. I'll find some time later to meet them."

Fight... Sinan Yao?

This time, Meng Wei's face turned completely white. He couldn't hold his cup steady, and it fell, spilling wine all over his face.

He had never seen such a fierce person in his life. Meng Wei felt that since sitting at this table today, his heart had been in turmoil. If he could do it all over again, he truly wouldn't want to take this job. It was simply too terrifying.
