Chapter 124: To the sect (1/2)
After his meeting with the two 'immortals', Alex went back to Luoxi.
He flew around the city and finally found the inn where they were staying. Then, Alex sneakily got into the room.
Fortunately, Hermes was still deeply asleep and didn't wake up from the earlier commotion.
Alex also proceeded to sleep, and he was swiftly put under the spell of Hypnos.
The next morning, the two woke up rather early.
”Let's go get breakfast,” Hermes said as he stretched his body.
”You just want some butter tea, don't you?”
Hermes and Alex went down and the owners of the inn greeted them.
”Good morning, Sirs, would you like to get some breakfast?” The bearded inn owner asked them.
Unfortunately, the food in the inn didn't seem very good, so they refused and left.
The narrow streets of Luoxi were lively in the morning.
The two gods inconspicuously walked through the city and made their way to the food vendor from yesterday.
On their way, a younger resident was shouting repeatedly, ”The immortals of the Kunlun Mountain Sect have vanquished the ghosts!”
Someone reacted, ”We can finally go out at night again!”
The residents were overjoyed at the news, and there was a somewhat festive atmosphere.
When they reached the alley which had the food stalls, Alex noticed that Hermes was staring at him for a long period of time.
A bead of sweat fell down his face, and he awkwardly asked, ”Hermes, why are you staring at me like that?”
”I don't know, Alexei-boy, I just feel like you've caused some trouble during the night, did you?”
'Is it that obvious...?' Alex rubbed his head in embarrassment.
”I just defeated some 'ghost general' and met these two immortals from a nearby sect....”
”You....just...?” Hermes failed to restrain his laughter.
Alex defended himself, ”However, I received a lot of useful information.”
Following that, they ordered some sweet tea and yak bone broth noodle soup.
While they were eating, Hermes asked him, ”So, what's the useful news your trouble brought you?”
”Well, we have to wait for the next lunar crescent before we can enter the heavenly domain.”
Hermes coughed and jokingly said, ”There was a quarter moon yesterday...”
”Exactly.”
”Oh, and the Kunlun Mountain Sect receives delegates from the heavenly domain every month, they might be able to guide us.”
Hermes nodded and proposed, ”Let's visit this sect then.”
With that, they decided to go to the Kunlun Mountain Sect.
However, they did not know where it was located.
Fortunately, Alex asked the food vendor, and the latter kindly told him everything he knew.
”Kunlun Mountain Sect? They have kind immortals, and they're the only immortal sect around this entire region, you can find their residence in the Kunlun mountain range west of Luoxi.”
”Thank you.”

After paying for their food, the two left the city, got into the chariot, and began their flight westwards.
Fortunately, they quickly reached a gigantic mountain range.
”Why is there a hole in the mounta-
A burst of sharp wind passed by them and destabilized the chariot.
They skillfully recovered their composure and perceived the reason for this disturbance.
