723 Write A Chapter On Monday Mourning For The Weekend (1/2)
”Recently, I feel like this City of Immortals has become cold and cheerless.”
In a restaurant, a drinker held a wine pot and gently shook it. He looked out through the window with a thoughtful smile on his lips.
On the opposite side of the table, a Daoist with coarse clothes coldly said, ”Cold and cheerless? There are more and more people in the City of Immortals.” After a pause, he continued, ”Not only people, even monsters and evil characters are more and more here.”
”What monsters and evil characters can hide from your eyes?” The wine drinker sneered and took another sip of the wine. ”Even if there are, they're probably just small in numbers. They haven't done any terrorist attack lately, it's really boring.”
The Daoist on the opposite of him frowned. ”You call me to complain about this nonsense?”
”Hahaha, of course not. The supervision of Shengjing Sect makes everyday run smoothly. How could I delay your time for boring little things? I asked you to come here because I want to ask something… Of course, it's not for nothing, all the dishes on this table is on me.”
The Daoist frowned and looked at the table. There were three empty wine pots—all were finished by the drinker alone. There was also a plate of peanuts which for the most part eaten by the wine drinker alone. At the same time, there was only a pot of tea and half a cup in front of him.
Why would the wine drinker even bother to call the Daoist if it was just to treat him a free cup of tea?
The wine drinker was indeed worthy to be the infamous record holder of how low a person could stoop to in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.
”Wang Wu, if you have something to say, just say it. However, Wang Lu is the chief planner of the organizing committee, and he has rich sources of information. Surely anything that you want to know he knows. So why would you bother to even ask me?”
The drinker across from him was Wang Wu.
”Inspector, you think too high on him. When it comes to intelligence, who can match the inspector of the Nine Regions of Shengjing Sect? The world-renowned former number one Jindan in Nine Regions, Daoist Master Kong Zhang.”
The coarse-clothed Daoist invited by Wang Wu was Kong Zhang, an unknown but important Daoist Master of Jindan Stage.
”Ah, the former number one Jindan in Nine Regions, this title is really harsh.” Kong Zhang said and, like a sword, his gaze stabbed at the opposite side. However, this gaze, which seemed like a substance, seemed to fall into a void and chaos.
Kong Zhang chuckled and took back his gaze. This simple exchange truly reflected the strength gap between them that was hard to cross.
There was indeed a gap that could not be crossed between the current number one Jindan in Nine Regions and the former number one Jindan.
”Tell me then, what do you want to ask?”
Wang Wu put down the wine pot and pondered for a moment. ”I want to know, in your opinion, what is going on in the City of Immortals these days?”
Kong Zhang couldn't help but laugh. ”That's a good question.”
The City of Immortals was so large that there were countless things that happened everyday. Merely the people in the main arena of Immortal One Area alone was worthy to put in a big book. However, presumably, Wang Wu didn't call him just to ask the affairs of everyone.
In fact, she had Wang Lu as her disciple. It was not difficult to know any information, but it was difficult to find useful information among thousands of information. It was impossible for ordinary people to screen information and sort them out. This was the irreplaceable position of the Nine Regions' inspection envoy of Shengjing Sect.
After thinking about it, Kong Zhang said, ”In my opinion, there are several things worth mentioning in the City of Immortals in these days. First, Wang Lu left the City of Immortals several times and went deep into the whirlpool of stars and had a private meeting with the Earth Immortals. Preliminary speculation is that he was there to meet with Senior Gem Emperor.”
Before he finished speaking, Wang Wu nodded and confirmed the news, ”Yes, he went to look for Senior Gem Emperor. It seems that he wanted to use the handsome trap tactic, but he failed miserably.”
Kong Zhang pondered for a moment and decided to filter out Wang Wu's response. The only thing that could be confirmed was the meeting with Senior Gem Emperor.
”Besides that, there are many unclean things in the City of Immortals these days.”
Wang Wu immediately became interested. ”What is it?”
Kong Zhang shook his head, ”At present, I'm still grasping in the dark. The other side is very skillful, and this is just based on my intuition.”
”Someone that could evade the eyes of the inspector of Nine Regions, are they from the devil sect?”
”No, I clearly remember the smell of devil sect. But this, I can only say that it is unclean. As for what exactly it is, I can't say it at all.” After a pause, Kong Zhang said, ”I'm not even sure whether this unclean thing really exists.”
”Well, with the current situation in the City of Immortal, it's unusual for anyone to be attracted. Nine Regions is vast and boundless, meaning that there might be hidden powers, and right now they come to see the excitement.”
Kong Zhang nodded, ”That is also an explanation. But, I can't find out their identity, so I can't feel at ease.”
”All right, besides that, is there anything else?”
”The third thing is that Shu Si, the boss of Qing Feng enterprise, has been asking Luo Xiao for cooperation for several days, but Luo Xiao is doing a closed-door training.”
Wang Wu was stunned. ”What is this? You even have this kind of people's gossip? I am familiar with Luo Xiao, but who the hell is Shu Si?”
”A newly rising business upstart.” Kong Zhang patiently explained Shu Si's origin for Wang Wu and then said, ”He is a very interesting person.”
After listening to the story, Wang Wu was also curious, ”Is this little sh*t really that interesting? In the world of business, merchants are like sand in the river, everyday someone would rise, but everyday someone would also drown. This kid's luck is not bad, but is it worth it for you to come out and say it?”
For ordinary cultivators, a business firm in the world of immortal cultivation, which controlled huge resources, might have considerable weight. But in the eyes of Nine Regions Inspector in Shengjing Sect, even merchants ten times as powerful as Shu Si were just that, a merchant.
”Shu Si himself is not worth mentioning. What's really interesting is the man behind him… A completely blank person.”
”A blank person?”
Kong Zhang said, ”I can find out his appearance, his accomplishments and his actions in the city, but before entering the city, his records are blank. In this world, there is no real blank person. Even Wang Lu from your sect; At least I know that he was born in Wang Family Village, and then he has a fantastic inheritance.”
Speaking to this, Kong Zhang once again looked at Wang Wu with sharp eyes, but he still didn't get any response.
He then continued, ”But I can't find the origin of the man behind Shu Si.”
