Attending the Assembly

Originally, the main city and the auxiliary city had not been separated, but the endless stream of cultivators pouring into Four Directions City became too much. Later, the city lord of Four Directions City joined forces with the Heaven-Shattering Sword Sect to carve Evernight City off to one side. From then on, unless they were participating in martial combat, residents of Four Directions City were strictly forbidden from entering Evernight City.

The city they entered today was naturally only Four Directions City's main city. To enter Evernight City, they needed to fill out a special jade talisman before they could pass through the gates. Chen Zui and Zeng Qianshan were quite interested in Evernight City's Martial Combat Arena, but with the Five Sects Assembly beginning tomorrow, they had no chance to go in and broaden their horizons today.

Bian Chunchou thought, As if I don't know you, you little brat. "Forget it. If you dare go back covered in injuries today, the Sect Master will come have a heart-to-heart with you tonight."

Chen Zui: "...I'm not afraid of that."

"Your Sect Master meddles that much?"

Thinking of certain official jade slips from Sect Master Peak a few days ago, Bian Chunchou decided to preserve a shred of Sect Master Gu's dignity. "Not really. It's just that our Sect Master is a rather kind person."

Zeng Qianshan did not doubt it in the slightest. "So that's how it is. Still, Junior Brother Chen is extraordinarily gifted. It is only proper for your sect's Sect Master to show him more concern."

"...Haha, Senior Brother Zeng is absolutely right." Bian Chunchou echoed awkwardly. "Let's hurry ahead. Fellow Daoist Bushi has already dragged Wen Xu far away."

The moment he looked away, the Buddhist cultivators from Bitter Crossing Temple had stolen his home turf!
