Immortal City.

As soon as Bright Moon left, Qingfeng took out a communication jade slip. Moments later, a middle-aged man with a cultivation level of a middle-stage nascent soul master appeared.

“Subordinate Chen Quan, pays respects to the Left Envoy.’¹

Qingfeng nodded slightly, “Chen Quan, this is the Town Desolation Stele. Take it and go to the marginal domain marked with letter ‘Yi’, where a desolate aura is suspected to have appeared.

There’s no need for me to say much about this situation. You must be careful and cautious during your investigation. Any mistake could displease the City Lord, and you wouldn’t need to return.

If you genuinely encounter a desolate aura, do not act recklessly. Report the details first, and wait for my subsequent orders.”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Quan didn’t hesitate. He took the Town Desolation Stele and left the Left Envoy’s Mansion immediately.

He then went to the City Lord’s Internal Affairs Office, obtained a task waist token for this mission, adjusted the direction to the marginal domain marked with letter ‘Yi’, and directly entered the teleportation array.

Under the Immortal City and the Internal affairs office, there are naturally teleportation arrays within the jurisdiction of the Immortal City, and even in the areas that the Immortal City doesn’t care about in the Marginal Domain, there are similarly connected teleportation arrays.

Though the conditions in the Marginal Domain are harsh and disliked by the Immortal City, they can generate meritorious Qi for the Immortal City, hence they hold their value.

Besides, the Marginal Domain has certain specialties. If nothing happens, it doesn’t matter, but if something does occur, the Immortal City would be concerned immediately.

Right Envoy Mingyue was in charge of internal affairs. As soon as Chen Quan obtained the task waist token and was teleported to the marginal domain marked with letter ‘Yi’, she received the news.

“Have you marked the task waist token?”

Mingyue asked casually. A man beneath her nodded and bowed, displaying a fawning attitude stripped of all the dignity of a nascent soul master.

“Right Envoy, rest assured, everything has been properly arranged.”

“Hmm, report any situation to me immediately.”

Having said this, Mingyue no longer cast a glance at the nascent soul master beneath her, who stealthily retreated, taking the hint.

Marginal Domain.

Far East.

Jin Quanxiu walked through the forest with Liang Sheng in silence. At this moment, Liang Sheng was marveling at the formidable power of the Zhou Family bloodline ability.

Because the route passed down by Dan Ding Sect almost perfectly circumvented the Zhou Family’s hidden dark veins.

Although the destination of Jin Quanxiu and Liang Sheng’s journey was the same as that of the teleportation array Liang Sheng had used before, there was no way for Jin Quanxiu to detect the hidden dark veins of the Zhou family disciples along his path.

Before Jin Quanxiu had set off, he had reminded Liang Sheng that this matter must be kept a secret, and should not be revealed to anyone.

Of course, Liang Sheng agreed at this moment. His choice to accompany Jin Quanxiu was also based on his auspicous ability to avoid evil, which had told him that the arrival of the messenger from the Immortal City was related to him.

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy ensures victory in every battle. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have involved himself in this complicated situation. If it wasn’t his concern, he could just stay in the Marginal Domain and quietly develop. What would be the need to pay attention to the Immortal City?

In the face of a long period, whether it’s the Immortal City or the Marginal Domain, all things come to pass like fleeting clouds.

After a while, the Desolate Temple that Liang Sheng had seen before, appeared in front of Jin Quanxiu and Liang Sheng.

At this point, Liang Sheng still had a doubt in his heart: what exactly is the method of contact between the Immortal City and the Dan Ding Sect?

Since there are teleportation arrays set up between the Immortal City and the Marginal Domain, it is evident that they are quite far apart, so ordinary communication methods may not work.

However, he didn’t ask Jin Quanxiu. Being overly curious about the Immortal City wouldn’t match with the persona he was currently portraying.

There was no rush. As he had the auspicous ability to avoid evil, he was sure that there would be no danger this time. Soon, Jin Quanxiu and Liang Sheng stood in the temple, looking at the teleportation array underground.

Liang Sheng pretended to be curious and looked at the murals around the temple. Jin Quanxiu didn’t pay attention and let him watch freely.

He now held high hopes for Liang Sheng’s future. Since he had already told Liang Sheng about the relationship between the Dan Ding Sect and the Immortal City, there were only two possible outcomes for him.

One is that he successfully breaks through to the nascent soul realm and succeeds him as the head of the Dan Ding Sect, taking over the contact with the Immortal City.

In this case, his early knowledge of the secrets of the Immortal City wouldn’t matter much.

The second possibility is that Liang Sheng fails to break through, and he will have to stay in the Dan Ding Sect for the rest of his life, as he needs to keep this secret and no longer has other choices.

Jin Quanxiu could accept the outcome of both situations. After all, as a nascent soul master, if his disciple couldn’t break through to the nascent soul realm, with the lifespan of the golden core realm, he feared that he would have to personally see him off on his last journey in life.

Jin Quanxiu sat quietly at this moment, waiting for the arrival of the envoy from the Immortal City. However, his serene exterior hid a tumultuous heart.

In all the years that the three sects and six orders have been active in the Marginal Domain, aside from the one time they requested support during the beast tide, the Immortal City had never intentionally sent anyone there.

The last time someone from the Immortal City had come, it was just a coincidence; the Dan Ding Sect had proactively contacted the city, and two golden core elders had been requested to set up a mountain protection formation.

This time it was the first that the Immortal City had deliberately sent someone. Over the past few hundred years, since the last major beast tide disaster, conditions in the Marginal Domain had seemed a bit off.

Plus, with the city deploying people this time, Jin Quanxiu naturally had some apprehension. He hopes that this wouldn’t be a bearer of bad news.

Just then, It seemed Liang Sheng had finished looking at the murals. His expression seemed a bit confused, but Jin Quanxiu didn’t feel like explaining at that moment..
