The Divine Martial Sect Master is, after all, a master of the Tribulation Period. At such a close distance, even if Cang Qian was muttering to himself, he could naturally hear him.
However, at this moment, both of them were lost in their own thoughts, scaring themselves and had no mind to blame each other. Their moods quickly shifted, and their expressions became somewhat dispirited.
After Cang Qian left, the Divine Martial Sect Master stood in place for a long time. After an unknown period, he finally let out a long sigh and returned to his courtyard in Menglan Valley.
Back in his room, the Divine Martial Sect Master closed the Main Gate tightly and sat on a chair in a daze for a while. Finally, he sighed again and took off an ancient and elegant ring from his hand, placing it on the table in the room.
After thinking for a moment, he picked it up again and caressed it lovingly. His eyes flickered with conflicting emotions, but in the end, he sighed deeply and placed the ring back on the table. He then took a Jade Tablet, activated his Spiritual Energy, and began to record something on the Jade Tablet.
Eventually, the Divine Martial Sect Master set down the Jade Tablet and the ring, opened the door, and walked out, channeling his Spiritual Energy to fly into the air.
Almost simultaneously, Cang Qian also returned to his room, hurriedly packing his things before making a swift exit.
If Ling Mo Xie knew about their actions, he would probably laugh until his teeth fell out. The power of imagination is indeed formidable; one was an Elder of a major Sect while the other was even a Sect Leader, yet they were scared off so easily.
Of course, Ling Mo Xie could not know any of this at present because he had already arrived in the city where the Taoist Sect headquarters is located under the effect of the Return Token.
This Return Token can take one back to all major cities in the Cultivation World. Ling Mo Xie saw several dozen options but chose without hesitation the most dazzling Wen Dao City. After all, this is where the Taoist Sect is located, and he wanted to come here to use the Daoist Order Decree to enter a Copy and enhance his cultivation.
"I just wonder how Hong Chi and Chen Yan are doing?" As soon as Ling Mo Xie stepped out of the Teleportation Array in Wen Dao City, he murmured about Hong Chi and Chen Yan. He was unsure if his escape would lead Divine Martial Sect Master and Cang Qian to trouble them.
Ling Mo Xie wasn't particularly worried about Chen Yan's safety; after all, he was an old buddy who had reincarnated countless times and should have decent survival skills. However, Hong Chi was just a child with some ability; that little bit wouldn't be enough against a master of the Tribulation Period!
But... Ling Mo Xie looked at the bustling streets filled with people coming and going and felt it wouldn't be appropriate to summon Hong Chi right away.
Thus, Ling Mo Xie decided to find a place to rest first before summoning Hong Chi. The reason he had made up his mind to use the Return Token to escape was also because he could summon Hong Chi. As for Chen Yan, there was nothing he could do; he could only summon his Celestial Servant and pet.
He had promised Chen Yan that he would find food for him and had a Task to complete. It seemed that it would be impossible to accomplish that in a short time since the Cultivation World is vast beyond measure; finding someone amidst such a sea of people is extremely difficult.
Wen Dao City is incredibly majestic, incomparable to the capital of Izumo Kingdom. The people walking on the streets are all above the Nascent Soul Stage. Individuals like Ling Mo Xie, who are at the Separation Period, are quite common; among ten people, five or six are at least at the Separation Period or even higher.
Although Ling Mo Xie felt anxious, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. It is no wonder that this place is regarded as a holy land by many, being the location of the Taoist Sect.
However, this is merely a city at the foot of the Taoist Sect, similar to how an ordinary Sect has small towns and cities at its base. Although it falls under the jurisdiction of the Sect, its main function is to provide supplies and serve as a buffer during attacks.
Looking at the bustling Wen Dao City, one can roughly gauge how powerful the Taoist Sect is in the Cultivation World.
Despite feeling shocked, Ling Mo Xie had no time to dwell on this prosperity. After all, he needed to find a place to summon Hong Chi as quickly as possible.
"Hmm? Listening to the Wind Pavilion? So there’s one at the foot of the Taoist Sect too!" As Ling Mo Xie looked up, he saw a familiar sign. Unlike the one in Izumo Kingdom, this Listening to the Wind Pavilion was much more prosperous, gleaming and beautiful, with many attendants in splendid attire coming and going. Although not everyone could enter, it was clear that there were quite a few people inside.
Despite its prosperity, the area in front of the Listening to the Wind Pavilion remained quiet; no one dared to make loud noises near its entrance.
"Hey, what do you think? Young man, isn’t this Listening to the Wind Pavilion luxurious?" Just as Ling Mo Xie was lost in thought and about to enter, he heard a low voice from an Old Man nearby.
Startled, Ling Mo Xie realized he had been too unguarded; someone had gotten so close without him noticing!
Feeling somewhat displeased but not wanting to show it, especially in Wen Dao City, where even a beggar might be a formidable figure from outside, he nodded and replied, "It is indeed luxurious. I doubt there’s a more extravagant Restaurant in the world than this."
"Ha! You just haven’t seen enough. I’ve seen restaurants even more luxurious than this one, but they no longer exist. Nowadays, saying this is the most luxurious restaurant in the world wouldn’t be an exaggeration," said the Old Man proudly before starting to reminisce.
Ling Mo Xie looked at the Old Man in amazement. Could it be that this man had some background and wasn’t just an ordinary person? Otherwise, how could he claim to have seen restaurants more lavish than the Listening to the Wind Pavilion?
Hearing the boastful words of the Old Man, passersby shook their heads and smiled. It seemed this old fellow was new to Wen Dao City. It appeared he would soon be taken to a nearby restaurant for a meal.
The Old Man is a well-known figure in Wen Dao City, though his reputation is not very good. Most people in Wen Dao City recognize him.
No one knows the Old Man's background, but what is known is that he often mingles in the streets of Wen Dao City, lingering by the Teleportation Array. When he sees a new face, he quietly follows them, looking for an opportunity to strike up a conversation, but his ultimate goal is to find someone to mooch a meal from.
Of course, the Old Man has spun all sorts of tall tales. People who come to Wen Dao City usually have high hopes, and with just a bit of boasting from the Old Man, they might believe he is a legendary expert, making it easy for them to be deceived.
What surprises the people of Wen Dao City is that among those who come here, there are not a few Not Bad characters. The fact that the Old Man can still con people here with his skills shows he has some ability.
Some idle onlookers even paused to find a good spot nearby to watch, as seeing others being tricked by the Old Man is quite entertaining for them.
Ling Mo Xie naturally knows none of this. Seeing the astonished look on Ling Mo Xie's face, the Old Man couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. The bustling past is like smoke in the wind; everything has vanished into the long river of history. Let's find a restaurant to sit down and talk slowly."
"Sure!" Ling Mo Xie nodded without hesitation. It wasn't because he thought the Old Man was an expert he wanted to attach himself to; rather, he was genuinely curious about the restaurant that the Old Man claimed was even more luxurious than Listening to the Wind Pavilion.
Listening to the Wind Pavilion is quite extravagant, largely because it is controlled by members of the Taoist Sect who have countless resources and a strong backing. What kind of power or people stand behind a restaurant that is even more luxurious than Listening to the Wind Pavilion?
This could also be a good opportunity to learn about the Cultivation World.
"I know a restaurant that's pretty good; let's go there. It's just two streets over," suggested the Old Man.
At this moment, the quietly watching crowd had even started placing bets: "Where do you think this kid will be taken to eat?"
"I see this kid in plain robes; his attire isn't flashy, and he doesn't have any attendants. The old man probably won't go too hard on him; maybe he'll take him to Drizzle Pavilion?"
"Not necessarily. The old man hasn't conned anyone in days; he might go all out this time. Worst case scenario, he'll sell this guy off at that restaurant!"
...
Ling Mo Xie was unaware that others were even betting on him. Hearing the Old Man's words, he simply pointed at Listening to the Wind Pavilion in front of him and said, "Why bother? Isn't that a restaurant? Let's go in!"
Saying this, he took the lead and walked towards the Listening to the Wind Pavilion.
The Old Man was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly caught up and whispered, "This won't do. The Listening to the Wind Pavilion is not a place you can just enter casually. If we get kicked out, it will be embarrassing."
Ling Mo Xie shrugged and casually replied, "It's fine, we won't be stopped. Don't worry!" With that, he didn't wait for the Old Man to object and pulled him into the Restaurant.
Meanwhile, the people behind them were in an uproar, even stuttering as they spoke: "He... they actually went to the Listening to the Wind Pavilion!"
"This kid is new to Wen Dao City and doesn't know any better, huh? Just watch, they'll be thrown out soon."
"Indeed, it seems the Old Man misjudged this time, looking at such a foolish kid. He's going to lose face!"
"Exactly, exactly! Haha! It's worth my while to stop and watch. I've never seen this Old Man in such a predicament before!"
"This is quite a spectacle; I need to find a few friends. Just watching by myself isn't enough!"
Ling Mo Xie had already pulled the Old Man to the front of the Listening to the Wind Pavilion. At the splendid Main Gate downstairs, two handsome men dressed appropriately with faint smiles on their faces politely stopped them.
"Sorry, please show us..."
"The token, right? Here!" Ling Mo Xie interrupted them before they could finish speaking and directly pulled out the token from his backpack. This was given to him by Xu Qingfeng when he asked the manager of the Listening to the Wind Pavilion for it.
