Chapter 297: Invitation (1/2)
”The event has now ended, Daoist Friends.” Elder Zuwo smiled and said to the crowd, ”I thank everyone for participating in this every-2year event in Peak of Dao Essence.”
The crowd nodded their heads and smiled back at Elder Zuwo. They slowly dispersed and go back to their respective sects. Some tried to stay to watch what would happen next but Elder Zuwo urged to them to leave.
Since Elder Zuwo was already taking it by force, those who tried to remain couldn't help but curse under their breath while leaving in reluctance.
Elder Zuwo had a reason for making the people leave, of course. Because the stone was already gone after it was comprehended, the Peak of Dao Essence would disappear as if it never was there. And this was absolute. After all, it came from the old records he had read.
Xiu'er was confused and couldn't help but murmur, ”If others were required to leave this place, why are we still here?”
Jin Rou only smiled. As for him, he already knew why.
Confirming that everyone had already dispersed, except Jin Rou and Xiu'er, Elder Zuwo clapped his hands and look at the two, ”Alright, others have left now. How about we go to our place and I'll treat you some tea?”
So that's the reason why while everyone was forced to leave, they were still here. The elder was inviting them for a tea. No, perhaps, it might be about something else.
After all, they showed everyone how exceptional their talents were. A talent that exceeded even the legendary figures of the past eras.
Jin Rou had no reason to decline. Thus, he agreed.

”Welcome to my humble abode, Daoist Friends.” Elder Zuwo said as he introduced his 'humble abode' to the Jin Rou and Xiu'er.
The place was a big mansion with a vast surroundings. It was looking grand and powerful as if it stood millions of storms and catastrophes. It emitted an ancient aura that could make anyone who would see this gasp in awe.
Not just that, the mansion was made of diamond with thousands of symbols engraved. It meant that the mansion had a defense capable of putting off a progenitor.
The moment they entered the mansion, another amazing vision came. It looked like an another world inside this mansion as everything looked ethereal.
The 'humble abode' was a very underestimation.
Elder Zuwo walked them to the tea room and told the two to sit and feel at home while he was preparing the tea.
”This is the first time I have seen something grand like this.” Xiu'er seemed to be fascinated by this and said, ”Even those in the Misty Ocean Sect's structures couldn't be compared to this.”
”Elder Zuwo is a hidden master and there are powerful people behind him.” Jin Rou casually said, ”Of course, him having this kind of mansion isn't an exaggeration in the slightest. After all, he has a high status even among them.”
