506: Qingyuan Ancient Town!

“Nether Immortal?”

The Old Beggar’s brows habitually furrowed, his fingers, which had been weighing the copper coins, paused, and the playful smile on his face deepened.

“An Immortal of the Netherworld is called a Nether Immortal? Heh, I’ve lived for so long, and this is the first time I’ve heard of such a convenient Daoist title. It seems you’re even too lazy to make up a pseudonym, young lady?”

His cloudy eyes swept over Nether Immortal’s astonishingly beautiful face and figure, and he clicked his tongue twice.

“But… you truly are beautiful, young lady. In all my years, I’ve rarely seen a female Immortal as stunning as you.”

Nether Immortal, majestic, slightly furrowed her willow-like brows.

“Fellow Daoist, please show some respect!”

“Heh heh, alright, alright. I’m used to speaking without thinking, so I apologize to you, young lady.”

He changed the subject, his tone still smiling, but deep within that smile, there was an undeniable hint of authority.

“However, Fellow Daoist Nether Immortal, why aren’t you staying in the Netherworld and instead wandering around my Xuantian Ancient Realm? What is your purpose? Have you forgotten the old rules between the Netherworld and the Living Realm?”

Nether Immortal felt a chill in her heart; this person was trying to assert his dominance.

She suppressed her turbulent thoughts, and a faint smile appeared on her exquisite face. This smile was breathtakingly beautiful, yet it carried an aloofness that suggested a high status.

“Rules? This Seat naturally knows them, but…”

Her tone turned slightly cold, tinged with annoyance.

“This time, I have come only to find one person! This person was audacious enough to kill a powerful assistant under my command. Could it be that I, a dignified Nether Immortal, don’t even have the right to come to the Living Realm to find someone?”

“Oh? Seeking revenge? It’s not that you don’t have the right, it’s just…”

The smile on the Old Beggar’s face faded a bit, and his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly.

“May I ask which Cultivator you are seeking revenge on? If you tell me, I will let you enter.”

“You!”

Nether Immortal was furious, somewhat exasperated.

How could she reveal Lu Hao’s name? The matter of Lu Hao possessing the Soul Summoning Banner was currently known only to a limited number of people. If this Old man in front of her were to learn of it, he might also investigate Lu Hao…

Once the Soul Summoning Banner was exposed, it was a legendary Emperor-grade Magic Treasure. Not to mention Immortals from the Netherworld, even Immortals from the Living Realm would likely go mad trying to seize it!

At that time, how could it be her turn to covet it!

“Fellow Daoist, there are as many Cultivators as there are hairs on an ox in this Xuantian Ancient Realm. I’m just going in to find one person, yet you ask so many questions? Aren’t you being too overbearing? What you are doing is truly humiliating me!”

Nether Immortal said with a chilling tone.

The Old Beggar heard this and chuckled awkwardly.

“Young lady, then make a verbal promise to me here. This time, you will only seek one person in the Ancient Realm, and I will let you in.”

Nether Immortal gritted her silver teeth, making a sound. However, looking at the mysterious Old Beggar before her, she couldn’t discern his cultivation. Moreover, since this person could find her so easily, his cultivation must be above hers!

Furthermore, finding the Soul Summoning Banner was a major undertaking. It was best not to cause too much trouble now!

“Alright… I promise, this time, I will only seek one person in the Ancient Realm!”

Nether Immortal’s gritted voice slowly emerged. She hadn’t been so submissive to anyone in countless years!

The Old Beggar heard Nether Immortal’s voice, slowly nodded, and then slowly put the hand that had been weighing the copper coins behind his back, staring at Nether Immortal with a smile.

“Good, good, good. That’s fine. Every wrong has its source, and every debt its master. It’s only natural for a Fellow Daoist to seek revenge. You may go.”

“But you must never use this as an excuse to spy on this realm. Otherwise… don’t blame this Old man for taking action.”

This was a naked warning! It carried absolute confidence and undeniable dominance!

Nether Immortal’s exquisite face was incredibly cold. As a magnate of the Netherworld, when had she ever been threatened so directly?

“Hmph!”

A bone-chilling cold snort escaped her.

“This Seat acts with her own discretion! No one else needs to remind her!”

Before her words even finished, her cultivation erupted, and her profound figure transformed into a black lightning bolt, bypassing the Old Beggar blocking her path, and rushing into the Xuantian Ancient Realm.

“Seeking revenge? Killed a subordinate?”

He muttered to himself, with deep disbelief.

“A True Immortal from the Netherworld, whose subordinate was killed, is it worth her true body crossing realms, even daring to violate the rules to personally seek revenge? How important must this subordinate be? How great must this grudge be?”

A glint flashed in his eyes.

“Could it be that the subordinate had something on him that she absolutely had to retrieve?”

He shook his head, his figure gradually becoming transparent and blurry.

“Forget it, there’s no evidence. I’ll observe secretly for now. If she truly only seeks revenge as she said, and doesn’t cause trouble, I, this Old man, won’t bother with this idle matter…”

…

Nether Immortal quickly followed Nether Left’s clues and found herself in Thousand Stars State of the Eastern Region.

Lu Hao was currently strolling alone in an ancient Mortal town in Thousand Stars State. The name of this ancient town was Qingyuan Ancient Town.

Lu Hao had always been very fond of places where Mortals gathered, without the mercenary nature of the Cultivation World, and more leisurely and serene.

In such places, he could feel a sense of human warmth and life, which was his favorite feeling, and also the most similar aspect of this Immortal Cultivation World to his previous life.

Lu Hao walked, feeling the everyday warmth of the people around him, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

After strolling for a while, Lu Hao suddenly stopped and walked towards an old woman who was walking nearby.

“Hello, Grandma, where can I buy wine nearby? I’m looking for an old, established brand.”

Lu Hao said with a gentle smile, very politely.

This was Lu Hao’s habit; whenever he arrived at a new place, he would always look for the most famous local wine shop. If it suited his taste, he would definitely buy all the wine. Now, the variety of wines in his Storage Pouch was countless.

Moreover, Lu Hao never liked to use his cultivation in such Mortal places.

The old woman heard Lu Hao’s inquiry, stopped, and looked at Lu Hao, smiling.

“Young man, there are many old wine shops in our town, but if you want one that’s closer, there’s a wine shop ten li to the south. If you want the best, it definitely has to be the one thirty li to the southeast. Their wine, well, it’s just one word: mellow!”

“My Old man, he goes there every now and then to get a few taels of wine to satisfy his craving. If he doesn’t drink it for a while, he even gets angry with me!”

“Alright, thank you, Grandma. You take care.”

The old woman continued walking forward, while Lu Hao walked towards the southeast. Thirty li would probably take about two hours to walk, and he could also take the opportunity to look around the town.
