Chapter 268: The City Lord Pays a Visit, the Whole Village in an Uproar

On the main seat, the Zhao Family Immortal Lord showed a hopeful expression and slowly spoke.

The Qingyun Immortal Sect overawes the Six Great Immortal Provinces and is the foremost sect of Qinggu.

If Zhu'er could join this sect, his path of immortality would go further.

His future is limitless!

Alas, it's a pity that Qingyun has never released any news of recruiting disciples outwardly.

Now we can only hope that Li's nephew has some insider information.

Hearing that, Zhao Jinzhu in the hall was the first to speak.

"Father, Li Brother has only just joined the sect, this..."

"Although he also wants to join Qingyun, wouldn't this be a bit difficult for Li Brother?"

"Last time Li Brother told him that in Qingyun he was merely a menial disciple."

Li Yin, sitting nearby, pondered a moment and quickly clasped his hands in reply.

"Um... Uncle, I can't decide on this matter either."

"Our Qingyun Immortal Sect currently has no plan to open the mountain and recruit disciples, and I haven't heard any rumors either."

"But Uncle, rest assured; since you've spoken up, I will certainly keep this in mind, and when I return to the sect I will plead with the seniors for you."

"I know Brother Zhao's character: his disposition is excellent, his talent top-notch; give him a chance and he will surely pass our sect's examination."

Li Yin expressed his thoughts in four short sentences.

He couldn't guarantee that he could get Brother Zhao into the sect, for he was merely a menial disciple and knew his own standing well.

But if Brother Zhao is given a chance, he will definitely pass the sect's entrance examination.

He had previously heard from the outer sect's senior brothers that the sect mainly looks for disposition and perseverance when recruiting disciples, and Brother Zhao lacks neither.

"Good, good, good! Then we have a prospect for the nephew."

"Come, let's continue the music and keep drinking."

On the main seat, the Zhao Family Immortal Lord's excited feelings were hard to calm, and he couldn't help laughing.

Although the odds of his son entering Qingyun are still not high.

But the opportunity is rare; having an opportunity brings hope of entering the sect.

Others don't even have this opportunity.

At that moment, Zhao Jinzhu rose, clasped his hands toward Li Yin and thanked him: "Thank you, Li Brother."

"Li Brother, this friend is truly not a mistaken acquaintance!"

"I have an eye for treasures; long ago I saw that Li Brother was destined to be extraordinary."

"At the very least he bears the appearance of a celestial immortal! It has finally come true."

"\"Why stand on ceremony with me, \" Li Yin lightly smiled and raised his wine cup.

Not long after, outside the Zhao Family Manor.

Three huge immortal beasts, a magnificently grand flying carriage, and dozens of powerful cultivators had been waiting for a while.

Then Li Yin, Zhao Jinzhu, and the Zhao Family Immortal Lord, along with a few others, walked out chatting and laughing.

"\"Uncle, what are you doing? \""

Li Yin, seeing the scene before him, immediately asked in surprise.

The Zhao Family Immortal Lord heard him, chuckled and said: "Haha, this is naturally prepared for you, nephew; your return home this time is glorious, so we must naturally make a grand display."

"On that flying carriage there are ten spatial immortal treasures; their contents are a little token of your uncle's heart, and you must certainly accept them."

Zhao Jinzhu, smiling broadly, stepped forward with his belly out and said: "Li Brother, you also know—my Zhao family may lack many things, but we never lack immortal treasures."

Upon hearing that, Li Yin's eyelids twitched.

"Everything's unchanged; Brother Zhao is still as extravagant and heartless as ever!"

Just as they were about to set off, countless towering immortal silhouettes flew in from afar.

The people outside the Zhao Family Manor immediately became alert, ready to meet any threat at any moment.

"\"City Lord? \""

When they saw the leading figure clearly, the Zhao Family Immortal Lord exclaimed in surprise.

That person was none other than the Lord of Wangyue Immortal City, Lou Shan.

"Why would the City Lord come to our Zhao family? We've always kept to ourselves, never interfering with each other."

In a few breaths, myriad immortals descended upon the void before the Zhao Family Manor, roughly estimated to number over a thousand.

Clad in silver-white hair, wearing the blue-and-white uniform of a Qingyun disciple—sure enough, it was him!

The leading figure, a man whose aura was the strongest, saw the people below and his eyes lit up; he promptly led the way down.

"\"May I ask if you are the Heavenly Pride of the Qingyun Immortal Sect, Li Yin? \""

"\"I am Lou Shan, Lord of Wangyue Immortal City, and I have come especially to pay my respects. \""

Upon these words, the immortals behind hastily clasped their hands together.

"\"Paying respects to the Heavenly Pride of the Qingyun Immortal Sect. \""

The voice rang out loud and clear, piercing the clouds.

"\"Does the City Lord know me? \""

In response, the cultivators outside the Zhao Family Manor, under the command of their own Immortal Lord, lowered their guard.

Li Yin also spoke up in surprise.

"Although I am a Qingyun disciple and my status has undergone a tremendous change, it's hardly become common knowledge, right?"

"\"Welcome back, Heavenly Pride Li! You are the glory of our Wangyue Immortal City! \""

"\"Heavenly Pride Li, you don't know: the day Senior Han Yue took you away, I followed my Lihuo Immortal Lord and was also in the entourage seeing you off. \""

Wangyue City Lord reminisced.

That day I had the honor of catching a glimpse of Senior Han Yue's bearing, and also saw the white-haired youth he brought with him.

Later, according to the Immortal Lord, that youth was precisely the heaven's pride of their Wangyue Immortal City, and thus he was given important responsibility.

I see.

Li Yin heard the words and nodded; that day he followed Senior Han Yue to the sect, and indeed countless immortals from the Immortal Nation came.

What impressed him most was that, in an instant, Senior Han Yue caused all the immortals to bow their heads, lower their brows and bend their bodies, fully displaying the bearing of the utmost strong.

"Haha, Lou City Lord, long time no see."

At that moment, the Zhao Family Immortal Lord also smiled and walked forward, speaking.

"Zhao Family Patriarch, long time no see, let's have tea together another day."

Wangyue City Lord laughed and replied.

Li Tianjiao seems to be on good terms with the Zhao family; I will have to interact more with the Zhao family from now on.

His heart stirred, and he silently said.

Not long after, the mighty entourage set off, swiftly flying toward the direction of Li Family Village under the governance of Wangyue Immortal City.

On the palanquin, Li Yin felt a myriad of emotions.

I never expected that this return would cause such a commotion.

The City Lord had a palanquin set up for him, and over a thousand immortals escorted him.

He tried every way to refuse, but could only accept.

But this is also good; when his mother sees his current state, she won't worry.

"Brother Li, this is a gift I prepared for your aunt; please accept it for now."

In the palanquin, Zhao Jinzhu took out ten spatial immortal treasures from his pocket.

"Brother Zhao, what are you doing? Uncle already gave me a generous gift."

Seeing this, Li Yin hurriedly spoke.

Those ten spatial immortal treasures are already placed behind him, and now you're giving another ten?

Isn't this excessive? With so many immortal treasures, you could smash some cultivators to death!

Brother Zhao really! I'm dying!

"It's just a token, Brother Li; I already said it's not for you, it's for your aunt."

Having said that, Zhao Jinzhu adopted an irresistible demeanor and shoved the spatial immortal treasures into Li Yin's hands.

……

Time passed, and soon the massive entourage arrived above Li Family Village, causing a huge stir.

"My mother has arrived! What a huge demonic beast!"

"How come so many people have descended upon our village! Who are they!"

"Erdan, you wouldn't understand this, but these seem to be legendary immortals!"

"How come so many immortals have descended; something big must be about to happen!"

In an instant, the entire Li Family Village was in an uproar, deeply shaken.

The people of this remote little village have never seen such a scene in their lives.

The last time they were shocked, it was caused by a fat man with extravagant aura.

"I am the Lord of Wangyue Immortal City, here specially to escort the heaven's pride of Li Family Village, Qingyun Sect disciple Li Yin."
