832: Four Venerable Ones? That's interesting.

Listening Snow Inn.

The lights were bright, a stark contrast to the rest of the City.

Outside the inn, a waiter stood.

As Xie Weilou approached, the waiter quickly stepped forward and said, "Esteemed guest, I'm truly sorry, but Listening Snow Inn is not accommodating guests tonight."

Xie Weilou glanced at the inn, a faint smile on his face, and said, "Aren't there some guests inside? Why can't I enter?"

"This..."

The waiter whispered, "They are all extraordinary individuals!"

"Coincidentally, I am also an extraordinary individual."

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and walked straight into the inn.

"..."

The waiter gave a bitter smile, not daring to say anything more.

Listening Snow Inn had no say tonight; the ones who truly had a voice were those guests.

Inside the inn.

A table was placed in the center, with four white-haired old men sitting at the four cardinal directions. On the table, there was only a pot of wine and four wine cups.

Beside the four old men, there was a young couple. This couple was also not simple, both possessing late-stage Guixu Realm cultivation.

They were Wen Jianting, the Second City Lord of Beiliang City, and Mei Qiuhan, the Third City Lord.

The entire inn, apart from the servants outside, had no innkeeper or other staff.

When Xie Weilou entered, Wen Jianting and Mei Qiuhan's gazes instantly turned to him.

Wen Jianting was a refined young master holding a folding fan. He looked at Xie Weilou and said with a faint smile, "Friend, this place has been reserved by us tonight. Please leave."

"..."

Xie Weilou ignored Wen Jianting and casually found a seat.

"You..."

Wen Jianting raised an eyebrow.

Xie Weilou looked at the four old men and said with a faint smile, "Four Venerables? How interesting!"

The aura emanating from these four old men was terrifying, far exceeding any Creation Realm he had encountered; they were definitely Venerables.

A small Beiliang City, yet four Venerables had arrived. This was very strange.

It seemed the four of them had a grand scheme!

"..."

Wen Jianting and Mei Nonghan showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

This person could actually discern the cultivation of the four great experts?

That was indeed not simple!

It seemed he was not someone they could provoke.

One of the white-robed old men looked at Xie Weilou and said with a smile, "This old man is Wang Tianming. It's truly not simple that Young Brother can discern our cultivation."

"However, the situation today is a bit special. We intend to discuss some matters that cannot be known by outsiders. If Young Brother leaves now, it would definitely be the wisest choice."

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "Seniors, please proceed with your discussion. It won't hurt for this junior to listen. If I happen to hear anything I shouldn't, I hope the four Seniors will not hesitate to act. Coincidentally, I also know a bit of martial arts and can spar with the four Seniors!"

"..."

As these words were spoken, the scene fell into a dead silence.

Wen Jianting and Mei Nonghan looked at Xie Weilou in astonishment.

What was this person's background? How dare he say such things in front of four Venerables?

Sparring with four Venerables? Did he not want to live?

Wang Tianming's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "May I know Young Brother's esteemed name?"

Xie Weilou smiled and cupped his fists, saying, "This junior is Xie Weilou!"

"Xie Weilou?"

The four Venerables narrowed their eyes, their expressions somewhat surprised.

They had heard of this name; he was a lawless junior.

One of the black-robed old men stared at Xie Weilou and said indifferently, "We have indeed heard of your great name, Xie Weilou, so you came here intentionally?"

Xie Weilou shrugged and said, "I was planning to go to Nine Heavens City, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by an old Venerable from Myriad Sword Holy Land. That's why I fell into this place from the spatial passage. This Xie is currently holding a belly full of anger. If the four Seniors put pressure on me, then I can only send the four Seniors on their way!"

"A Venerable attacked, and he still couldn't kill you?"

The black-robed old man looked at Xie Weilou indifferently: "You are even more arrogant than the rumors say."

Threatening their four Venerables—how could that be described merely as 'arrogant'?

Xie Weilou directly brought out the ten thousand souls banner and chuckled, "It's not arrogance. It's mainly because This Xie's human emperor banner has some good things inside, and I want to invite the four Seniors to share them..."

"ten thousand souls banner!"

The four old men's hearts tightened when they saw the ten thousand souls banner in Xie Weilou's hand.

They had also heard of this item.

Those who returned from the Grave of Primordial Beginning said that a terrifying Evil Spirit was hidden within Xie Weilou's ten thousand souls banner.

Xie Weilou looked at the four old men: "I wonder if This Xie, holding the human emperor banner, is qualified to sit here?"

Wang Tianming was silent for a second, then said with emotion, "With this item, you are naturally qualified to sit here."

The other three old men also chose to remain silent.

This young man's background was somewhat peculiar; he had emerged out of nowhere, first offending the Myriad Sword Holy Land, then becoming an elder of the Danhe Realm.

Not only did he possess the Reincarnation Sect's ten thousand souls banner, but he also had connections with the Marquis of Eight Desolations and was involved with the Lin family's favored daughter. This was quite strange.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Xie Weilou waved his sleeve, and the ten thousand souls banner directly plunged into the ground. He picked up the wine pot and continued to drink.

"..."

Wen Jianting and Mei Nonghan were deeply shaken; they had never heard of Xie Weilou's name.

They had been in Beiliang City for over a decade, and their information was somewhat isolated.

Had the world changed now?

A younger generation actually dared to threaten a Venerable?

After a few sips of wine, Xie Weilou felt a warm sensation throughout his body.

Woo woo woo!

Just then, an urgent horn blared in the City, followed by the resounding beats of war drums.

"It has begun!"

Wang Tianming's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his divine soul expanded, enveloping the City.

The four old men all had extraordinary backgrounds; he came from Tianji Pavilion and was its Grand Elder.

The other three old men came from Zhongzhou Academy and the Eastern Desolation Imperial Family, respectively.

Their purpose in coming here was solely for one girl, the Little Girl named Cui Tao in the City!

That Cui Tao was originally the daughter of a certain prince of the imperial family, but she was born with a primordial purple qi, possessing a Primordial Dao Body (Congenital Primordial Dao Body). After birth, she neither cried, fussed, nor laughed, remaining eerily quiet.

The Tianji Pavilion Master once divined for her, predicting that the Congenital Primordial Dao Body was close to the Great Dao, allowing for rapid cultivation and overwhelming peers at the same level.

However, such a person was destined to be cold and aloof, with only the Great Dao in her heart, devoid of any emotion. She would also devour the luck of those around her, causing her loved ones to die, and eventually transform into the Dao!

Later, the vice-dean of Zhongzhou Academy came up with a solution.

That was to place this girl in the outside world and find an excellent stepping stone for her, allowing her to develop emotions first. This way, subsequent cultivation would save many problems.

Cui Xian was that stepping stone.

He was also the only person deduced by the Tianji Pavilion Master who could make the Primordial Dao Body possess emotions.

Now the time had come. The Primordial Dao Body had developed emotions, and everything was going smoothly. She should return to her proper path.

As for Cui Xian, he still needed to complete one last thing.

That was, death!

He only needed to live in the heart of the Primordial Dao Body forever; there was no need for him to continuously live in her life.

They were indeed a group of people, scheming against a parentless child with a difficult fate.

However, for a Primordial Body, they felt that everything was worth it.

Let alone the death of one Cui Xian, even if the entire Beiliang City were to be annihilated, as long as it allowed the Primordial Body to embark on the right path, it would all be justified...
