213: Chapter 213 Anomaly

After flying north for a long time, a familiar scene appeared before Su Mo's eyes.

An endless expanse of emerald green covered the plains, and from far away, one could smell the faint, refreshing, and mellow aroma of wine drifting into everyone's nostrils with the wind.

"What a fragrant aroma of wine!"

Fierce Tiger King twitched his nose, a hint of intoxication flashing in his tiger eyes.

"This scent is more potent than any wine I've ever tasted!"

Even those who didn't drink could sense the extraordinary quality of this wine's aroma.

Su Mo's gaze flickered, and he chuckled softly:

"Since that's the case, let's go down and take a look. It just so happens that there are acquaintances down there."

He had originally planned to skip the Wine Immortal Sect and head straight to the Myriad Beast Kingdom without stopping, but seeing everyone's current state, Su Mo couldn't bring himself to refuse their wishes.

"Acquaintances?!"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. In this Central Region, Su Mo actually still had acquaintances?

"That's right. This Sect is called the Wine Immortal Sect. They enter the Dao through wine. The various Spirit Wines they have uniquely created can not only help increase cultivation, heal injuries, and sustain life, but there are even Spirit Wines that can nourish the Divine Soul and help one comprehend the world. They have extremely wide connections in the Central Region, and ordinary powers are unwilling to offend them."

"Hehe, a Sect that brews wine? Doesn't that mean we can drink to our heart's content?"

Fierce Tiger King rubbed his large hands together, his face full of anticipation.

Su Mo smiled faintly and steered the Two-Headed Phoenix toward the mountain gate of the Wine Immortal Sect.

However, before the Two-Headed Phoenix could land, a cyan Escape Light suddenly streaked out from the Wine Immortal Sect, confronting the Two-Headed Phoenix in the high sky.

"Which Senior is visiting my Wine Immortal Sect?"

The Escape Light dissipated, revealing an old Cultivator wearing a green robe with an unkempt hairstyle.

A huge wine gourd hung from his waist, and his body exuded the formidable Spiritual Pressure of the Void Refining Perfection stage, but it appeared insignificant before the figure of the Two-Headed Phoenix.

This person was none other than the Sect Master of the Wine Immortal Sect — Immortal Master Worry-Forget.

Facing the Mahayana Stage Two-Headed Phoenix, he was calm at this moment, without the slightest fear.

Fierce Tiger King frowned slightly and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Su Mo raising his hand.

Su Mo stepped out, arriving on the Phoenix's head. His robes fluttered in the wind, and he looked at the old Cultivator before him, revealing a smile:

"Senior Worry-Forget, it has been a long time. I am passing by your Sect and have come to disturb you. I wonder if I am welcome?"

Seeing Su Mo, Worry-Forget was momentarily stunned, then let out a sigh of relief and laughed jokingly:

"So it's you, kid! Making such a big scene, coming over sitting on such a big guy, I thought some reclusive old monster had come to pick a fight!"

Su Mo laughed heartily and moved from the top of the Phoenix to stand before Immortal Master Worry-Forget:

"Senior, you jest. This Junior just happened to obtain this mount by Opportunity; how would I dare to act wildly on your territory?"

"By Opportunity?"

Immortal Master Worry-Forget looked at the Two-Headed Phoenix, which exuded an aura that even made him feel palpitations, his words tinged with jealousy.

"You kid... how long has it been since we last met? Even I can no longer see through you... I should have shamelessly taken you into my Sect back then!"

Su Mo could only smile helplessly upon hearing this.

"Let's go, let's go! Don't just stand here! It just so happens that a batch of aged wine is being unsealed today. You, kid, are in for a treat!"

As he spoke, he enthusiastically pulled Su Mo toward the inside of the Sect.

Ye Qingshuang, Fierce Tiger King, and the others followed closely behind. Watching Su Mo chatting and laughing with the Sect Master of the Wine Immortal Sect, a thought rose in their minds:

Su Mo's circle of friends was truly wider than they could have imagined...

Arriving at the Wine Immortal Sect's mountain gate, a group of Cultivators stood ready, and the Sect-protecting formation had already been activated.

"Everyone disperse, disperse. It's a young friend of our own; it's a misunderstanding!"

The members of the Wine Immortal Sect looked at each other, and after closing the Sect-protecting formation, they dispersed one after another. However, the gazes they cast toward Su Mo were filled with curiosity and awe.

What kind of person was this junior who could make their Sect Master treat him so courteously?

Just as the crowd was gradually dispersing, a voice filled with surprise and uncertainty suddenly rang out:

"Brother Su?!"

A handsome young Cultivator wearing the attire of a Wine Immortal Sect True Disciple was looking at Su Mo with a face full of surprise.

Su Mo looked toward the sound, and upon seeing the person, a smile also appeared on his face:

"Brother Li, you are already at the Void Refining Stage?!"

When Su Mo left the Hegemon Body Sect, Li Xing had also returned to the Wine Immortal Sect. After being shocked by Su Mo's strength, he felt some pressure, so a few days after returning to the Sect, he began to work on his Breakthrough to the Void Refining Stage.

"Hahaha, it was just luck, just luck. Where is Heaven Battle? Didn't you go to the Immortal Burial Battlefield together? He isn't with you?"

Su Mo shook his head:

"No, I had some things to do, so I wasn't with him. This time I'm just passing by, coming to ask for a cup of wine."

"I see! Then you have come to the right place! The Wine Immortal Sect dares not say much else, but we definitely have enough wine!"

Li Xing lowered his voice and leaned in close to Su Mo's ear to say:

"After my Breakthrough to the Void Refining Stage, I just brewed a pot of Rank 6 Spirit Wine. Even Master hasn't tasted it yet. Let's go, let's go, let's taste it together."

Su Mo heard this, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes as he smiled:

"Then I will accept without declining."

He hadn't drunk the Rank 5 Spirit Wine last time, so it was perfect to taste the Rank 6 Spirit Wine this time.

Su Mo and the others were enthusiastically led into a great hall. Everyone took their seats, and Li Xing took down the wine gourd from his waist and pointed with his hand.

Several streams of wine containing rich Spiritual Qi, as if possessing life, precisely fell into the jade cups in front of everyone.

The wine was as viscous as mercury, with light shimmering within it. Just smelling the aroma gave one a feeling of being transcendent.

"Brother Su, everyone, please!"

Li Xing raised his cup to gesture, his eyes filled with pride and anticipation.

Su Mo picked up the jade cup in front of him and was just about to bring it to his lips.

Suddenly, a slightly anxious voice resounded throughout the entire Wine Immortal Sect.

"The Immortal Burial Battlefield has suffered an anomaly, which may endanger the entire Central Region. Please, Wine Immortal Sect, send Cultivators above the Soul Transformation stage to assemble at Demon Suppressing City!"

This voice was like a thunderclap, instantly breaking the tranquility of the Wine Immortal Sect.

Inside the great hall, the smile on Li Xing's face instantly froze, and a grave expression appeared on his face:

"Immortal Burial Battlefield anomaly?! Assembly at Demon Suppressing City? What kind of anomaly would cause someone to come to the Wine Immortal Sect for reinforcements?!"

The Wine Immortal Sect and the Immortal Burial Battlefield were in completely opposite directions and were very far apart. If they could come here for reinforcements, it meant that the situation had reached an extremely urgent level.

Immortal Master Worry-Forget's expression was serious. He reached out and beckoned, and a post emitting a faint red light flew from outside into his hand.

Opening the post, Immortal Master Worry-Forget's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Seeing this, Su Mo asked:

"Senior Worry-Forget, may I see this post?"

Immortal Master Worry-Forget did not hesitate and handed the post over directly.

Su Mo took the post and scanned it with his gaze.

The post clearly read:

"The defense line of the Immortal Burial Battlefield has fallen. Blood Beasts have scattered and are spreading everywhere. It is suspected that the Four Great Sacred Lands are manipulating them from behind, with the highest cultivation being at the Tribulation Crossing Stage. If we do not join forces to overcome this catastrophe, the Central Region will be in imminent danger. We implore all Fellow Daoists to come and assist immediately!"

A cold glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

"Blood Prison Sacred Land..."

This anomaly absolutely had something to do with the Blood Prison Sacred Land. What he didn't expect was that a Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivator had actually made a move.
