Grandmaster Long Zaitian was deeply saddened; to be honest, he was reluctant to go into tombs.
He could never forget the fear of being dominated by the tomb's owner!
He felt that the tomb owner, even if not a powerful being at the Carefree Realm, was close enough.
Because he can currently contend with someone in the Late Shackle Realm, but even now, he doesn't have the confidence to face the mysterious and powerful tomb owner in the tomb.
Long Zaitian could tell that the Perfected Xuanyin who came from Dragon City was not the legendary Carefree Realm. If Perfected Xuantian and the others in the tomb controlled the situation, that would be fine. But if they went down and disrupted the rhythm, the tomb owner might seize the opportunity to counterattack.
For a moment, he was at a loss for what to do and looked at Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian is, after all, one of Perfected Xuantian's men. If he agrees, then things will be much easier.
Xiao Tian felt Long Zaitian's gaze, turned to Perfected Xuanyin and smiled, "I know a bit about this tomb, so I'll lead the way. The tomb isn't safe, but my master is there, so the dangerous parts ahead must have already been removed."
"Lead the way." Perfected Xuanyin smiled, still holding a conservative attitude towards Xiao Tian's identity.
Just as the three were about to leave, a guard rushed in and announced, "Your Excellencies, the two city lords, claim to be distinguished guests from Phoenix City, representing Alien Research Organization, requesting an audience."
Xiao Tian chuckled inwardly. This person had arrived just in time; he could buy him some time.
Xiao Tian looked at Perfected Xuanyin and smiled, "Zhenren, why don't we wait a little longer? As the city lord of Luo Cheng, I can't just leave our distinguished guests waiting outside."
"Whatever." Perfected Xuanyin was not in a hurry. His purpose in coming here was to obtain amnesty.
If Xiao Tian is indeed from the Jade Void Palace, that would be good. If not, we need to discuss whether Xiao Tian has done anything wrong in the name of the Jade Void Palace. If it's not too excessive, we can deal with him appropriately, giving him a beating and then a sweet treat.
Before long, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, dressed in a black dress and flat sandals, arrived.
Although this woman appeared to be a housewife, Xiao Tian could tell at a glance that she was very strong, even stronger than Perfected Xuanyin.
" Perfected Xuanyin, you're here too."
Xuanyin looked at the person and couldn't help but smile, "It's Luo Xue from the Biyou Palace, long time no see."
Long Zaitian was shocked. This Alien Research Organization was actually backed by the Biyou Palace, one of the Three Great Sage Lands in the Evolver World in the East.
"Lord Xiao Tian, greetings. I am Luo Xue from the Biyou Palace. I have come here today to invite you to the Biyou Palace."
Xiao Tian Xiao. This beautiful woman didn't mince words or beat around the bush; she just got straight to the point.
Upon hearing Luo Xue's words, Xuanyin's heart sank; he realized that his plans had to be brought forward.
" Luo Xue, you're late. Brother Xiao Tian is the closed-door disciple of our Jade Void Palace 'Old Ancestor Xuantian, whom we raised from childhood. In a sense, he's also a member of our Jade Void Palace."
"Oh? Is that so?" Luo Xue smiled charmingly, not entirely believing it. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Tian, she asked, "City Lord Xiao Tian, is it that Luo Xue has arrived at an inopportune time?"
"Hehehe... Not so. Senior Luo, you've come at the right time. Although I am indeed a disciple of Perfected Xuantian, I am not sure if my master is from the Jade Void Palace. Besides, Perfected Xuanyin is still verifying my identity. So, I am not actually a member of the Jade Void Palace."
Luo Xue smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes glancing playfully at Perfected Xuanyin.
"In that case, why doesn't City Lord Xiao Tian come to my Biyou Palace? We at the Biyou Palace teach without discrimination and don't have too many rules. Just remember to be harmonious."
Xuanyin's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly composed himself, a smile spreading across his face as he calmly stated, "I do indeed still need to consider the City Lord's identity. However, the Domain mastery you displayed in the back garden earlier bore a striking resemblance to that of the Three Great Sage Lands. Furthermore, given that you know the secrets of my Jade Void Palace 'Old Ancestor Xuantian, the connection is likely quite genuine. I hope you will consider this carefully. Although the Three Great Sage Lands are closely allied, switching allegiances is not a good thing."
Xiao Tian chuckled inwardly, wanting to jump up and slam dunk on the guy's head.
Long Zaitian dared not breathe loudly behind him. He could tell that the invisible tension here was already very strong, and it was not suitable for him to participate.
" City Lord Xiao, there's no need to worry. It's been common for the Three Great Sage Lands to change allegiance throughout history. The capable choose the wise ruler, Wutong. My Biyou Palace will always welcome you."
Xiao Tian Xiao. To be honest, most of the structure in the Eastern Blue Star part of the Primordial Hongmeng Plan was set up by his own body, including the Three Great Sage Lands of the East, various secret realms, side quests, etc. Therefore, he was aware of the grudges between the Three Great Sage Lands.
The grudges between the Three Great Sage Lands are actually similar to the internal strife within the Mysterious Gate sect in his Primordial Chaos Plane, Investiture of the Gods Calamity.
" Luo Xue, let's not bring up these old matters again. It's practically a done deal that the city lord is a member of my Jade Void Palace; all that's left is for him to go there."
"Oh?" Biyou Palace Luo Xue chuckled and said, "May I ask where this place is? May I also go and see it? And witness it with you?"
"Naturally, there is a place in the city where my Jade Void Palace's Old Ancestor Xuantian resides. You may have heard of Old Ancestor Xuantian's name."
"Naturally, the Domain Grandmaster of the Jade Void Palace are far inferior to the successive palace masters of my Biyou Palace."
"Hmph! Further words are pointless. Please continue leading the way, City Lord."
Xiao Tian had a headache. After going around in circles, he still had to go down into the tomb. However, since it had taken a while, he had come up with some solutions.
"Alright, but considering the time, let's have a meal first before we go. You two have just arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and it would be a bit impolite of me to take you down to the tomb right away."
Perfected Xuanyin said, "It's alright, I don't mind. City Lord, please lead the way."
"Ah, we've been traveling for several days, and we're really exhausted, thirsty, and hungry. City Lord Xiao, where is the canteen at the city lord's mansion?"
Xiao Tian almost laughed out loud. Luo Xue was to his liking, and her words were crucial.
"Master, Senior Luo needs to rest. We're not in a rush to go down into the tomb, so let's eat and rest first."
"Very well." Perfected Xuanyin was somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn't say much.
The chefs in the kitchen of the city lord's mansion's dining hall began to get busy.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Tian secretly used his Adamantine Staff) to transform into the mysterious Perfected Xuantian Zhenren through his Ruyi Divine Ability and Seventy-Two Transformations.
Perfected Xuantian used Invisibility Technique to enter the tomb, awaiting the next step.
At the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Tian, Long Zaitian, Xuanyin, Luo Xue enjoyed a meal.
"Reporting to the City Lord! A distinguished guest outside, claiming to be from the Ancient God Biological Gene Group, requests an audience."
"Let him in," Xiao Tian said, waving his hand.
"This is interesting. Let's bring more people! Ideally, they should all arrive by now."
Luo Xue and Xuanyin both frowned slightly, guessing the man's approximate identity.
Before long, an old man dressed in ordinary elderly clothes and carrying an ordinary Bashōsen that used to cost five or six yuan at a street stall appeared.
"What a coincidence, Xuanyin, Luo Xue, you're here too."
The old man smiled warmly, his face kind and gentle. He looked at Xiao Tian and introduced himself, "I come from the Eight Sceneries Palace, one of the Three Great Sage Lands, Beichen Feng."
"So it's Elder Bei. You must be tired from your journey. Please, have a seat."
"I must be tired and hungry after the long journey, Lord Xiao Tian. Then I won't stand on ceremony."
"Don't be shy, someone come and have the kitchen make a lot more and send it over."
A moment later, Beichen Feng revealed his purpose: like Luo Xue of the Biyou Palace, he had come to invite Xiao Tian to join the Eight Sceneries Palace.
Long Zaitian watched this scene with envy in his heart. This is what it means to be a strong person. They are so desirable.
"Old man Bei, don't even think about it. City Lord Xiao has been targeted by the Jade Void Palace."
Upon hearing Luo Xue's words, Beichen Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Are you joking, girl? Could it be that City Lord Xiao has some kind of relationship with the Jade Void Palace?"
Xuanyin had no choice but to speak up, saying, "Fellow Daoist, the City Lord is the last disciple of our Jade Void Palace's Old Ancestor Xuantian, so he can be considered a member of our Jade Void Palace."
"Yes, it's not confirmed yet." Luo Xue sipped her juice, her beautiful eyes full of mockery, adding fuel to the fire.
Beichen Feng laughed loudly, " Xuanyin, you're quite the joker! It's not even close to being settled yet. Where City Lord Xiao wants to go is his own business. Don't try to pull strings, or my Eight Sceneries Palace will be the first to refuse."
"City Lord, I think we should hurry down into the tomb; we need to see Old Ancestor Xuantian," Xuanyin said.
Beichen Feng's expression changed slightly. The Perfected Xuantian of the Jade Void Palace?!
He had heard that this person was the Supreme Elder of the Jade Void Palace, and if he were still alive, he would probably be nearly 300 years old.
" City Lord Xiao, what brings us to this tomb?"
Xiao Tian Xiao, "To be honest, senior, my master, Perfected Xuantian, is currently battling a mysterious entity in a strange tomb within the city. Perfected Xuanyin is eager to go down into the tomb to see my master in order to verify my identity."
"I see. How dangerous is this tomb?"
Xiao Tian's expression immediately turned solemn. He said, "To be honest, I went down there with my master. The corridors and the outermost palace area weren't dangerous, but once inside the outer palace, the danger level was extremely high. Even a mid-to-late Shackle Realm expert could be ambushed by the dark negative energy if they weren't careful. Moreover, the undead that appear from time to time possess immortality, making them extremely troublesome, even..."
Long Zaitian was shocked to hear this, and secretly lamented his own weakness. He hadn't even entered the outer palace; he had been ambushed and controlled in the corridor area. Fortunately, he encountered Perfected Xuantian and was rescued.
"In that case, this tomb is indeed very dangerous. If the Perfected Xuantian inside the tomb is indeed the one from the Jade Void Palace, then he is probably a powerful being in the Carefree Realm now."
" The Carefree Realm: Break free from Shackle, control space, Carefree between heaven and earth, rely on individual abilities, transcend all things, possess the power to move mountains and fill seas, fly through the sky and escape into the earth."
Long Zaitian. The Carefree Realm! What an enviable and lofty realm!
If one could actually meet such a person with great supernatural powers, that would be extremely lucky.
