In a secluded mansion somewhere in Tianyu City.

The buildings in the yard looked very old. The paint on many doors and windows had peeled off in large pieces, thick dust was accumulated everywhere, and the ground was covered with withered yellow leaves. It seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.

However, judging from the scale and layout of the whole house, as well as the exquisite details on the cornices and brackets, this place seems to be the former residence of a wealthy and well-known family, especially the magnificent "Heaven and Earth Promise" in front of the main house. The gold plaque shows that the former owner here should have an unusual status.

At this time, dusk will pass and the sky will gradually darken.

A handsome man in his thirties, dressed in a moonlight robe and a silver cloth belt wrapped around his forehead, stood in the courtyard with his eyes closed, as if he was feeling something.

This person is Liu An who entered the city with the convoy together with Shi Mu.

The evening wind blew against his face, blowing his long blood-colored hair and dancing in the wind.

After a while, Liu An opened his eyes, his eyes were as calm as water. After silently looking around, he walked towards a certain wing on the east side, and pushed the door directly to enter.

The house is quite spacious, divided into two from the middle, with beds, tables and chairs all available, and the furnishings are simple yet elegant.

Liu An went directly to the inner room, stretched out his hand to press a certain position on the head of the bed, and then turned it around.

There was a muffled "click".

The wall behind him suddenly split in the middle, revealing a dark passage that seemed to lead underground.

Liu An didn't hesitate, and disappeared into the passage in a flash.

The passage was not long, and soon, a secret room with dim light appeared before his eyes.

This is a small secret room with a radius of several feet, with no other decorations except for an altar table in the middle.

Under the faint light of the two candles on the altar, one could see five figures sitting cross-legged on both sides of the secret room, motionless.

After Liu An walked in, these people stood up one after another, but there were three men and two women.

The three men were a burly man in black with a red face. A fat man with the appearance of a merchant, and a young man with short silver hair.

Two women, one veiled and tall. The other was petite and exquisite, dressed in fiery red clothes.

"Big brother!"

The five saluted Liu An respectfully and said in unison.

Without saying a word, Liu An walked straight past the five people and walked towards the altar in the center of the secret room. His body was filled with a cold aura.

On the tribute table was enshrined a black spiritual plaque, engraved with the four seal characters of "Oriental Xiantian".

There was a muffled "boom".

Liu An knelt down heavily in front of the tribute table, the silver cloth belt wrapped around his forehead had been torn off at some point, revealing a crescent moon like a crescent in the middle of his forehead.

The other three men and two women also came behind Liu An and also knelt down.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the secret room became dull.

"Master, although Uncle Master disagrees, I'm still here."

"This time, I'll make them pay."

"When the time comes, the Ghost King Luotian will come back to the world. Let the blood of these geniuses be sprinkled all over Tianyu City, and use their souls to mourn your spirit in the sky!" Liu An said in front of the spirit card, and then kowtowed three times .

"Master, rest in peace!"

Behind him, the other five people kowtowed along with Liu An, each with a solemn expression on their faces.

...

It was night, west of Tianyu City.

On the top of the hundred-foot-high hill, among the palace buildings, the largest golden palace is quite eye-catching.

The hall is shrouded in a layer of seven-color clouds during the day. At night, the golden light shines brightly, and golden streamers rising from the night can be seen everywhere in the city.

This is a branch of the Tongtian Immortal Sect in Tianyu City.

Tongtian Xianjiao was the state religion of the Lushan Dynasty. There are branches in every city, and the branch in Tianyu City is undoubtedly the largest one, and it is also the place where the Ascension Ceremony is held.

As for the location of the main altar of the Immortal Sect where the leader resides, there are different opinions.

Some people say that it is in the Sanqing Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, some people say that the branch sect in Tianyu City is actually the location of the main altar, and some even say. The main altar is on an island suspended out of thin air.

But one thing is certain, that is, on the eve of the grand ceremony, the leader of the Immortal Sect will come to Tianyu City to preside over the ceremony in person.

At this time, in a side hall of the golden palace.

An old man in a blue gossip robe sits on the main seat.

The old man had white hair and a childlike face, with a hale and hearty spirit. He looked like a fairy, and he seemed to be a bit out of the world.

On the right hand side, a thin, pale boy was sitting on a chair, his expression seemed somewhat cramped.

On the other side, stood a middle-aged man with a majestic face. He was the innate team leader of Shi Mu and his team, but he also changed into a blue gossip robe at this time.

"Hong'er, you have suffered all these years. I have heard about your previous experience, but when you arrive in Tianyu City, you will treat yourself as if you are at your own home, and you don't have to be restrained. Take a good rest these few days. In the future, you will be able to meet your ancestor, Zhu Chenzhong, who is immortal." The old man in Taoist uniform said kindly.

The little boy didn't speak, but nodded obediently.

After the old man in Taoist clothes said a few more words, he called two young Taoist priests to help the little boy back down.

"Send someone to tell Lu Shanren that Hong'er is a descendant of a fairy, and he must be properly settled...just make him a prince with a different surname." After the little boy left, the Taoist old man turned his head and told the majestic middle-aged man.

"Follow the will of the leader!" the majestic middle-aged man respectfully said.

...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

On a spacious bluestone street in the west district of Tianyu City, a young man in a gray robe walked slowly, with a colorful feathered parrot resting on his shoulder, looking around curiously.

The young man is naturally Shi Mu.

This is Tongma Avenue in the west district of Tianyu City. It is one of the busiest streets in the city. There are streams of people flowing along the street, and various large shops and restaurants abound on the roadside.

It's just that Shi Mu didn't have time to appreciate the street view at this time, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Shitou, I've been walking all morning, but I'm so exhausted, why don't I take a rest in front!" Cai'er suddenly called out.

"Have you ever walked by?"

Hearing this, Shi Mu stretched out his hand and flicked the parrot's head, but still looked up.

There is a tall and striking building with a large hall and luxurious decoration. It looks like a big restaurant.

Even in this bustling street, this restaurant is very outstanding and eye-catching.

There is a name "Tao Ranju" hanging on the main entrance of the restaurant, which is quite artistic.

Shi Mu's heart skipped a beat, he was busy all morning. He was really tired, so he walked in.

It's still some time before noon, it's not the time to eat, and there are not too many guests in the restaurant.

"Guest officer, please come inside!" The waiter saw Shi Mu come in. He greeted him enthusiastically.

There is a huge colorful parrot standing on Shi Mu's shoulder. Although the dress is a little weird, but the majestic and unruly aura makes people dare not underestimate it. In addition, people from all walks of life in Tianyu City are mixed with dragons and snakes. It is not surprising to go out and walk on the street with a fierce tiger.

Under the guidance of the waiter in the shop, Shi Mu went to the private room on the second floor. The layout here is quite delicate, with screens between the tables and potted plants. It was very quiet.

Although there are only a dozen tables on the entire second floor, it doesn't look crowded at all.

There are not many customers on the first floor, but there are four or five tables of guests on the second floor.

"Have a cup of tea and some snacks." Shi Mu sat down on a seat and said.

"I want to eat nuts." Cai'er shouted.

The waiter looked at Caier in amazement, and was amazed by Caier's intelligence.

"Snacks should be some kind of nuts." Shi Mu said.

The shop waiter quickly agreed, and then gave Caier a surprised look, before retreating.

After a while, several plates of delicate nut snacks and a pot of fragrant tea were served.

Shi Mu rewarded him with a few taels of silver, and then let him withdraw.

Cai'er happily tasted the snacks. Drinking a sip of green tea occasionally is quite moisturizing.

Shi Mu was not as relaxed and carefree as Cai'er, and there was a hint of thought on his face again.

In the past few days, he went to several posthouses of the Immortal Ascension Conference in the city to inquire. But it was all in vain, and there was no gain.

But it's no wonder that there are at least hundreds of such post houses in Tianyu City, and if you search for them one by one, you may not be able to find them all in two or three months.

Thoughts turned in Shi Mu's mind, thinking whether he should ask someone for help.

Right now. A loud noise came, interrupting his thoughts.

"Haha, with Brother Zhou's strength, he will naturally be able to stand out in this Ascension to Immortals Conference. There is no problem at all! From now on, I would like to congratulate Brother Zhou in advance for his attainment of immortality and rank in the immortal class."

"Brother Ge, you're being polite. There are experts from all walks of life gathered in this conference. It's useless to use such a small trick. But your Ge family's Yuan Lingzhenggong is very famous in the Lushan Dynasty. Brother Ge is now an innate mid-stage martial artist. The chances of being selected are much higher than the next one.”

"Where, where..."

Shi Mu frowned and looked towards the noisy place. On a seat not far from him, there were four or five youths in fine clothes, all of whom looked to be in their twenties, talking and laughing loudly as if no one else was around. Pursue each other.

The imposing manner of these young people is overwhelming, and they all have innate cultivation bases. Judging from the clothes on their bodies, they are all children of everyone, and their identities are extraordinary.

Shi Mu raised his eyebrows. Hearing the conversation just now, these people should all be talented disciples of various sects who participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference.

He glanced at it, then looked away.

The children of those aristocratic families continued to talk like no one else, but the topic gradually shifted to other places.

"Brother Shentu, do you have time this afternoon? It is said that Huang's shop will hold an auction. Although the scale is small, it is worth going to see." A burly young man in yellow robes said, looking at a blue shirt youth.

Several other people also looked over.

The young man in blue shirt is well-proportioned and quite heroic.

"No, I still have some things to do this afternoon." The blue-shirted youth said with a mysterious smile.

"Brother Shen Tu is going to the Ascension to Immortals Assembly Inn on Biyu Street. I heard that a stunning beauty came there recently. You often go there these few days." Another young man laughed.

"Oh, what kind of woman can make brother Shentu so interested?" The burly young man in yellow robe also showed a curious look. (To be continued.)
