A Show of Force, Definitely a Show of Force!

Three days later.

A hundred miles outside of Purple Sun Prefecture City, a red and black sedan chair carried by eight men was traveling along a path through the woods.

The sedan chair was very spacious, and through the curtains one could see a young man in fine clothes sitting inside. He was handsome but pale, like a young master from a noble Aristocratic Clan who had indulged in excessive pleasures.

"Where is Luo Yexian?"

The Demon Summoning Holy Son turned the ring on his index finger.

"A message was just sent saying they are already waiting at Purple Sun Prefecture."

A voice drifted from the void, audible only to the Demon Summoning Holy Son.

This is a more sophisticated method than telepathic communication.

"Hmph, if he weren't my uncle, if it weren't for the fact that we need manpower right now..."

The Demon Summoning Holy Son snorted coldly, seemingly in a bad mood.

During this time, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt about this so-called Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect.

Because he sent people to check in Southern Border.

The villages that previously provided the Power of All Living Beings for their harvest are now digging mountains, dredging rivers, and building roads, all claiming it's an offering to the Heavenly Venerable Immortal.

What truly powerful person would need such useless offerings?

However, he only had doubts.

Coincidentally, the Dream God, one of the three ancestral gods of the sect, was revived, allowing them to find some clues. It seemed that they had found the Dream God's cave abode, which might contain something extremely important.

Unfortunately, they still can't get in.

This is a good opportunity to test that so-called 'beloved disciple of the Heavenly Venerable '.

"Greetings, Your Holy Son's nephew."

Before long, they were getting closer to Purple Sun Prefecture. On the path ahead, Luo Yexian, dressed as a merchant, came up to greet them and bowed.

"Why didn't you take the main road? Why are you in this remote, secluded place?"

The Demon Summoning Holy Son was a little annoyed when he saw his uncle.

"My Holy Son, we are the Demonic Sect. If we were to take the official route, it would be far too blatant for us to act openly."

Luo Yexian's face was full of deep thought, and he spoke earnestly:

"We bear a heavy responsibility for the church, so it's best to be cautious."

"..."

The Demon Summoning Holy Son raised an eyelid.

You're dressed as a businessman, yet you're ignoring the main road and taking those back alleys and back alleys—does that make any sense?

However, he was too lazy to waste words with Luo Yexian and went straight to the point:

"Did the immortal you mentioned agree?"

"Agreed, the immortal said we'd meet tonight."

Luo Yexian, then looked somewhat puzzled:

"But why should we decide the location while the immortals set the time?"

"Letting him set the time is to show respect, while we'll set the location to prevent the other party from making any arrangements. Perhaps last time, you fell into their trap because you went to a place they had carefully prepared."

The Demon Summoning Holy Son, narrowing his eyes.

"Huh? How could that be? How could a celestial being lie to me..."

"Hmph, after living in the Southern Border for so long, have you truly become a frog in a well? The world is full of wonders. The Yin-Yang Hall can even turn men into women and women into men, and the Yellow Millet Hall can even kill people in their dreams. How is it impossible to deceive you with special methods? There is nothing impossible in this world!"

"You'll know when you meet the immortal."

Luo Yexian shook his head, still believing in the 'immortal' in his heart.

After all, the immortal was his future, his greatest achievement, and his hope for a meteoric rise to power and a breakthrough in his Dharma Body.

How could he possibly doubt his own hope?

"Where did you choose as the meeting place?"

The Demon Summoning Holy Son didn't bother to say anything more to him.

"Pleasant Goat Hot Pot Restaurant"

"?"

"This hot pot restaurant is famous far and wide, and it's been open for a while. There's absolutely no way it could have any connection with them. Besides, it's a crowded and intriguing place, perfect for shady dealings."

Luo Yexian swallowed hard.

The Demon Summoning Holy Son thought that Luo Yexian's reason for choosing that place was probably because he wanted to eat hot pot since winter was approaching.

But he had no evidence.

Pleasant Goat Hot Pot Restaurant.

"Waiter, a spicy hot pot, extra spicy, and five plates of mutton."

"Sir... sir, our portions are... very generous."

"It's alright, people who practice martial arts have big appetites."

"All right..."

After Jiang Chulong finished taking the customer's order, she turned to leave, but then peeked back in for another look.

A young man with an air of otherworldly wisdom sat at the table, dressed only in a blue robe despite the cold weather, drinking alone.

Princess Little Jiang felt that this figure looked somewhat familiar.

She tilted her head and went to the kitchen.

Little did she know that the young man's gaze only fell upon her retreating figure when she turned around.

"Chulong has grown quite a bit taller; she should get some new clothes."

"Oh, right, we also need to prepare some red envelopes for New Year's money..."

Li Mo arrived at Purple Sun Prefecture at noon today.

He arranged to meet the Demon Summoning Cult Sect at night, since he could only use <Sharing the Moon> at night to exchange information with Ice Block, and it would be even better with Cold Fairy as his backer.

The location was chosen by the other party, and they haven't replied yet.

Li Mo decided to sit down at the hot pot restaurant first and see the little ones from Chulong and Mud Horn Alley.

Unfortunately, he's using the Formless Glazed Mask now. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he should wait until everything is settled before returning to being a hot pot restaurant owner...

"Where will Luo Yexian choose?"

Li Mo was cooking mutton in the hot pot when he looked out the window. The sky was gradually getting dark.

Not long after.

The Beast Token vibrated slightly again, sending a new message:

"Pleasant Goat Hot Pot Restaurant awaits your arrival."

"?"

Downstairs from the hot pot restaurant.

The Demon Summoning Holy Son, Luo Yexian, and a group of cultists dressed as merchants broke through the snowstorm.

"It smells so good! It's almost like the barbecue from Southern Border. It's intoxicatingly fragrant."

Luo Yexian.

"Nephew, have you ever had barbecue? The kind from Southern Border, wow, the taste..."

"Did we come here to eat? Why aren't we sending a message?"

The Demon Summoning Holy Son clenched his fist, resisting the urge to punch him.

So Luo Yexian shrank back and reached out to grasp the token.

But before he could send a message, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

"My eldest nephew..."

"When you're out in public, you have to address someone as... never mind, what's up? Has that person arrived yet?"

"The immortal said he arrived early and told us to go upstairs."

"!!?"

The Demon Summoning Holy Son's expression stiffened slightly, and his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

You're here early?

But they were the ones who chose the location!

They had barely stepped into the hot pot restaurant when they sent the message, only to find out the other person had arrived even earlier than them?

What does this tell us?

This means the other party already knew that we would choose this location to meet!

"Were you followed by anyone along the way?"

"Your Holy Son, neither I nor the Impermanence Dharma King have noticed anyone monitoring our movements."

Indeed, if there were a tail, the two Dharma Kings would have told him long ago.

The Demon Summoning Holy Son's heart grew more serious.

The fact that Sixth Realm expert could remain completely unaware, regardless of the method, demonstrates that the opponent's methods are unfathomable!

"That's normal. The immortal could tell I was playing mahjong at a glance... cough."

Luo Yexian smiled, seeing in the Holy Son's face the same shocked expression he had when his underwear was exposed.

The Demon Summoning Holy Son didn't even glance at him, and took a deep breath.

The fact that the other party arrived ahead of time and used unpredictable methods to tell them this so openly made their intentions crystal clear.

What a show of force!

This is definitely a show of force!!

"Let's go up and see who this person really is!"

Please give me some money, mwah!
