A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 294 Is the invitation from earlier still valid?
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The location of Crystal Dragon Pavilion.

A figure appeared in front of the pavilion.

The newcomer wore a tall jade crown, a purple brocade robe, and had a long beard that reached his chest; he was a handsome and dashing middle-aged man.

It was none other than the Marquis of Nanlong.

He smiled when he saw the sign hanging by the door that said the business was temporarily closed.

Then, stepping out, they entered the first floor of the Crystal Dragon Pavilion.

From the outside, the main hall of Jinglong Pavilion appears bustling with people and shadowy figures.

However, as soon as the middle-aged man entered, all the figures vanished, leaving only an elderly man leisurely sipping tea in the hall.

"Fellow Daoist Tianjing, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Every time I see your array and illusion techniques, I am amazed."

The middle-aged man praised it generously.

Upon hearing this, the old man quickly stood up and bowed.
"It's just a little trick, nothing to mention in front of you, my lord."

"Fellow Daoist Tianjing, has that person arrived yet?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, please come up."

As he spoke, he first went to the entrance of the stairwell leading to the second floor.

The Marquis of Nanlong followed closely behind.

In any other place, Marquis Nanlong would be extremely wary and would never easily go to someone else's cave.

嗏

This time the situation is different.

On one hand, this is Tiantian City! The only city for cultivators in Tiannan! It is protected by the major sects of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, including the Huayi Sect and the Beiye Sect. These major sects have clearly stipulated that no fighting is allowed within the city, and anyone who dares to act will be severely punished if the sensing array or patrolling cultivators detect it.

on the other hand.

The character of Master Tianjing was so well-developed in the past.

As the organizer of numerous Nascent Soul level trade fairs and auctions, Tianjing enjoys a good reputation.

Furthermore, there is confidence in one's own abilities.

Marquis Nanlong possessed the cultivation of the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm and did not believe that anyone could instantly kill him.

Even a high-ranking cultivator wouldn't be able to do it.

Finally, and most importantly, Han Li and Tianjing Zhenren had no reason or motive to attack him.

Based on the above considerations.

Marquis Nanlong was ultimately careless.

They followed Master Tianjing up to the second floor.

Someone had been waiting here for a long time.

"My lord, greetings."

Han Li stood up and took the initiative to greet them.

"I dare not, I dare not. I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Han's reputation for defeating the Old Demon of the Joyful Union Sect and the Five Great Sects of the Demonic Path. It is truly better to meet him in person than to have heard of him."

The Marquis of Nanlong responded politely.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two sides sat down again.

At this point, Han Li stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point:

"My lord, I've heard that you and Fellow Daoist Yun possess information about the Cangkun Cave. May I ask if I may get a share of it?"

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Nanlong, who had just sat down, was so startled that he sat up again with a thud.

Han Li smiled chuckled upon seeing this:
"Ha, why is Your Excellency so agitated?"

"Fellow Daoist Han, are you joking with me? How would I know anything about the Cangkun Cave..."

The middle-aged man decisively and categorically denied it.

While replying, he observed his surroundings, searching for a way to escape.

"My lord, the number one rogue cultivator in Tiannan five thousand years ago... Venerable Cangkun, you should still have descendants, right?"

Han Li did not get up, but remained calm.

His smile made the middle-aged man opposite him feel his heart sink.

"Rest assured, my lord, I had no intention of harming you. If I had truly intended to plot against you, you would have already been captured alive."

This sounds arrogant, but it's the truth.

Just now.

The Marquis of Nanlong was not very wary. If he cooperated with the other three people hiding in the shadows to launch a sneak attack on this person, there was a very high probability that they would kill him instantly.

"Fellow Daoist Han, why is it cooperation instead of force?"

Realizing he had fallen into a trap, but seeing that Han Li hadn't taken advantage of the situation to do anything drastic, the middle-aged man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, although you have a family behind you, hundreds of years have passed, and your close relatives should have all passed away long ago, right?"

"That's right. My father and brothers have long since passed away. Only I have successfully formed my Nascent Soul in the clan, which is why I am still alive today."

"Then, Lord Junhou, your situation is actually no different from that of Fellow Daoist Tianhen, who is a rogue cultivator."

"What does Fellow Daoist Han mean?"

Marquis Nanlong frowned.

"My lord, how about joining my Xuantian Sect? Let's work together on great things. Our goals can actually be aligned."

Marquis Nanlong is a decent person. He may be flamboyant, but he's not a bad person at heart and is quite loyal to his friends.

For example, he placed great trust in the elderly man surnamed Yun.

Therefore, his first thought was to win them over, not to kill them.

"Join the Xuantian Sect?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback.

"Yes, would you be interested in joining our sect, Lord?"

"This... could you give me some time to consider it?"

Han Li was not surprised to hear this.

Just as he was about to say something more, Marquis Nanlong suddenly produced an ancient treasure bowl and covered him with it. Dense golden light shone down, forming an inverted barrier, with black and white energies intertwined around him, making the binding and restrictive power three times stronger.

They actually made the first move?
At the same time, a golden flying sword, an ancient treasure dagger, and a black bead wreathed in intricate runes suddenly appeared in his hands. His body shone with spiritual light, like a dazzling little sun.

The next moment, the ancient treasure dagger shone brightly with black and white light, and flew towards a certain spot on the second floor of the Crystal Dragon Pavilion.

That was the place where Master Tianjing was located.

"My lord, what is the meaning of this?"

Tianjing said angrily.

Marquis Nanlong sighed with a bitter smile:
"Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Tianjing, if you had invited me a few years earlier, I might have truly joined the Xuantian Sect under your kind invitation. However, the Tianji Sect beat me to it, and now I am one of the elders of the Tianji Sect, though I have kept it a secret all along. There seems to be some unpleasantness between the Tianji Sect and Fellow Daoist Han, and I am unwilling to gamble on your attitudes towards me after you find out..."

He has his own pride and cannot be two-faced.

He couldn't join the Heavenly Extreme Sect while simultaneously chatting and laughing with Han Li and the others.

He's a man who cares about his reputation.

"You've joined the Heavenly Gate?"

Han Li raised an eyebrow.

Shouldn't Marquis Nanlong have waited until after his setback at Cangkun Cave before getting closer to Lu Weiying? Why did he join Tianji Sect ahead of time?

But on second thought, it makes sense.

After all, so many things have happened in Tiannan over the years.

The conflict between Tianji Sect and him has not yet been resolved. After learning of his existence, they will definitely think about strengthening themselves.

Marquis Nanlong was one of the key figures that Tianji Sect was trying to win over.

"Fellow Daoist, you are open and honest."

Han Li praised.

Let the small bowl envelop him in golden light and black and white light.

They also saw Tianjing Zhenren subdue Xiaodao Gubao with two evil ghost puppets.

And witnessed Marquis Nanlong using that black bead to break through the wall barrier of the second floor of the Crystal Dragon Pavilion.

"An ancient treasure, a forbidden bead?"

Han Li's eyes lit up.

"It is indeed a barrier-breaking pearl. Alright, you two, farewell. Consider the stone bowl and ancient treasure as an apology to Fellow Daoist Han. I must admit I cannot accept it."

After saying this, the middle-aged man darted into the crevice.

Although it was painful to give up a rare top-tier ancient treasure, I was in the wrong for making the move first.

In order to avoid being harassed in the future, one must not be stingy in making amends where necessary.

just.

next interest.

Marquis Nanlong retreated through the breach.

And his face looked extremely pale.

Without him.

The restrictions here are strange.

It was not the layer of array restrictions he understood.

Although the barrier-breaking bead had broken through the first layer, there were still layer after layer behind it. The sheer number of layers made his scalp tingle.

For the past few months, Jinglong Pavilion has been undergoing transformation by Tianjing Zhenren and Xin Ruyin.

Having dedicated two centuries to the study of array formations, Xin Ruyin not only mastered her own inherited array formation knowledge but also referenced the array formations of the Chaotic Star Sea over the past decade. Her current array formation skills are sufficient to set up a grand array to trap Nascent Soul cultivators. With the assistance of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the power of the engraved restrictions would be even greater.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you..."

At this moment, Han Li raised his hand and summoned the stone bowl that had been hanging above his head, constantly showering him with golden light and black and white energy, which obediently landed in his hand.
"A fine antique."

At the same time, the bearded man came up the stairs from the first floor.

Qing Yi then walked down from the third-floor stairwell.

Yuan Yao appeared beside Han Li with Xin Ruyin.

Also present were Mo Jiao Xiao Mo, Bing Huo Lang Han Bing Huo, and eight Nascent Soul level puppets.

"this…"

Bathed in the small sun, Marquis Nanlong's forehead was now covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
"Fellow Daoist Han, does what happened just now still stand?"

　I was in the countryside during the day, so I'm posting this late today. Sorry!
