In a secluded mansion somewhere in Tianyu City.

The surface of the buildings in the courtyard looks very old, the paint on many doors and windows has peeled off in large pieces, thick dust has accumulated everywhere, and the ground is full of withered yellow fallen leaves, and it seems that no one has 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 eaves and arches, this is like a former mansion of a large family with a lot of status, especially the magnificent "Heaven and Earth" gilt plaque in front of the main house, which shows that the former owner here should not be ordinary.

At this point, dusk is passing and the sky is getting dark.

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

This person was the willow bank who entered the city with the convoy with Shi Mu.

The evening breeze blew his long blood-colored hair and danced in the wind.

After a while, Liu An opened his eyes, his gaze was as calm as water, and after silently looking around, he walked towards a certain wing room on the east side, and directly pushed the door in.

The room is quite spacious, divided into two in the middle, with beds, tables and chairs, simple but elegantly furnished.

Liu An walked directly to the inner room, stretched out his hand and pressed it at a certain position at the head of the bed, and then rotated it.

There was a muffled "click".

The wall behind it suddenly cracked in the middle, revealing a black passage that appeared to lead underground.

Liu An did not hesitate, and disappeared in the passage as soon as his figure broke.

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

It is a small secret room with a radius of several zhang, except for an offering table in the middle. There is no other frills.

In the dim light of the two candles on the offering table, you can see both sides of the chamber. There were also five figures sitting cross-legged, motionless.

After these people walked in Liu'an. They all stood up, but there were three men and two women.

The three men were a burly man in black clothes and a red-faced man, a fat man who looked like a businessman, and a young man with short silver hair.

Two women, one veiled and tall, the other petite and delicate, dressed in a fiery red shirt.

"Big brother!"

The five of them saluted towards Liu An. Speak in unison.

Liu An walked straight in front of the five people without saying a word, and walked towards the offering table in the center of the secret room, at this time, his body was full of gloomy and cold aura.

On the tribute table is enshrined a black spirit tablet, which is engraved with the four seal characters of "Oriental Xian Tian".

There was a muffled sound of "bang".

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

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

Time. The atmosphere in the chamber became dreary.

"Master, although Uncle Shi disagreed, I still came. ”

"This time, I'm going to make them pay. ”

"At that time, the Luo Tian Ghost King will return 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 tablet. Then he kowtowed three times.

"Sect Master, rest in peace!"

behind it. The other five people also kowtowed along with Liu An, and everyone had a solemn look on their faces.

......

It's night. West of Tianyu City.

At the top of a hill 100 feet high, among the palace buildings, one of the largest golden palaces stands out.

During the day, the hall is shrouded in a layer of seven-colored clouds, and at night, the golden light shines brightly, and you can see the golden streamers rising in the night all over the city.

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

As the state religion of the Lushan Dynasty, the Tongtian Immortal Sect has branches in various cities, and the branch religion in Tianyu City is undoubtedly the largest one, and it is also the place where the immortal ascension ceremony is held.

As for where the main altar of the Immortal Sect is located, there are different opinions.

Some people say that it is in the Sanqing Mountain Range, which stretches for thousands of miles, some people say that this sect in Tianyu City is actually where the main altar is located, and some people even say that the main altar is on an island suspended out of thin air.

But one thing is certain, that is, every time on the eve of the ceremony, the leader of the Immortal Sect will come to Tianyu City and personally preside over the ceremony.

At this time, in a side hall of the Golden Palace.

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

The old man has a childish face, is in good spirits, and looks like a fairy wind and bones, which is quite a bit dusty.

On his right-hand side, a thin, pale little boy sat on a chair, his expression seemed to be a little cramped.

On the other side, there was a middle-aged man with a majestic face, who was the innate leader of Shi Mu's convoy, but at this time he also changed into a blue gossip robe.

"Hong'er, you have suffered all these years. I've heard a little about what happened to you before, but when you arrive in Tianyu City, you should be in your own home, and you don't have to be restrained. You have a good rest in the past few days, and in seven days, you will be able to meet your ancestor, Zhu Chenzhong. The old man in the Taoist suit said with kind eyebrows.

The little boy did not speak, but nodded obediently.

After the old man in the Taoist suit said a few more words, he called two young Taoist priests and helped the little boy to retreat.

"Send someone to tell Lu Shanren that Hong'er is a descendant of immortals and must be properly settled...... Let's be named a prince with a different surname. After the little boy left, the old man in Taoist clothes turned his head and instructed the dignified middle-aged man.

"Obey the will of the Sect!" said the majestic middle-aged man.

......

Days passed in the blink of an eye.

On a spacious bluestone street in the Xicheng District of Tianyu City, a young man in a gray robe walked slowly, with a colorful feather parrot parked on his shoulder, and was looking around curiously.

Young people are naturally Shi Mu.

This is Tongma Avenue in the Xicheng District of Tianyu City, which is one of the most prosperous streets in the city, with people flowing on the streets, various large shops and restaurants on the roadside.

It's just that Shi Mu didn't have time to enjoy the street scene at this time, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Stone. I've been walking all morning, but I'm exhausted. Why don't you take a break in front?" suddenly exclaimed.

"Have you ever walked through?"

Hearing this, Shi Mu stretched out his hand and flicked the parrot's skull. But still look up and look ahead.

There is a striking tall building with a wide entrance hall and luxurious decoration, just like a large restaurant.

Even on this bustling street, this restaurant stands out.

The main entrance of the restaurant hangs the name of "Tao Ranju", which is quite meaningful.

Shi Mu's heart moved, he was busy all morning, and he was indeed a little tired, so he walked in.

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

"Guest officer, please come inside!" The shopkeeper saw Shi Mu coming in, and hurriedly greeted him warmly.

Shi Mu stood on his shoulder a huge color-haired parrot, although the dress was a little weird, but a rebellious and unruly air made people dare not underestimate it, plus now Tianyu City has a mix of dragons and snakes, not to mention taking birds out, it is not surprising that he walks on the street with a tiger.

Shi Mu was under the guidance of the shopkeeper. On the second floor, the private room is quite delicately furnished, with screens and potted plants between the tables. It's very quiet.

Although there are only a dozen tables on the entire second floor, it does not look crowded at all.

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

"Have a cup of tea. Have a few plates of dim sum. Shi Mu sat down in a seat and said.

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

The shopkeeper looked at Cai'er in surprise. Be amazed by Cai'er's intelligence.

"Let's have a few nuts for the snacks. Shi Mu said.

The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, and glanced at Cai'er in surprise. That's when he stepped back.

A few moments later, a few plates of delicate nutty snacks and a pot of fragrant tea were served.

Shi Mu casually rewarded a few taels of silver and let him retreat.

Cai'er happily tasted the dim sum and occasionally took a sip of tea, which was quite moisturizing.

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

In the past few days, he went to several post houses in the city to investigate the immortal ascension conference, but he returned in vain and gained the slightest.

But it's no wonder that there are at least hundreds of such inns in Tianyu City, and if you look for them one by one, I'm afraid you may not be able to find them again in two or three months.

Shi Mu's mind turned, considering whether he should find someone to help.

At that moment, a commotion was heard, interrupting his thoughts.

"Haha, with Brother Zhou's strength, this Immortal Ascension Conference will naturally be able to stand out, without the slightest problem! In the next place, I must first congratulate Brother Zhou in advance on his attainment of becoming an immortal and ranking in the immortal class. ”

"Brother Ge is polite, this conference is full of masters from all walks of life, so why not worry about this little trick. However, your Ge family's Yuan Ling True Skill is very famous in the Lushan Dynasty, and Brother Ge is now a mid-congenital martial artist, and his chances of being selected are much greater than those in Xia. ”

"Where, Where, ......"

Shi Mu frowned and looked towards the noise, and on a seat not far from him, there were four or five young people in fancy clothes, all of whom looked like they were in their twenties, talking and laughing loudly as if no one else was talking and laughing, chasing each other.

These young people are imposing, they all have innate cultivation, and they look at the clothes on their bodies are all children, and their identities are extraordinary.

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

He glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze.

The children of the family continued to talk as if no one else had anyone else, but the topic gradually shifted to other places.

"Brother Shentu, do you have time in the afternoon, it is said that the Huang family shop is going to hold an auction, although the scale is not large, but it is also worth going to see. A burly yellow-robed young man spoke, his eyes looking at a blue-shirted young man.

Several others also looked over.

The blue-shirted young man has a well-proportioned figure and is quite heroic.

"No, I have some things to do in the afternoon. The blue-shirted young man smiled mysteriously and said.

"Brother Shentu is going to the Immortal Ascension Conference Post House on Jade Street, I heard that a stunning beauty has recently come there, and you often run there these days. Another young man laughed.

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