Chapter 619: Chapter 619: The Hua Clan Enters the City, Operating Everywhere (First Update)
In the days that followed, as countless cultivators from numerous sects poured into Luofu City, the city’s hustle and bustle intensified.
Accompanying this influx, the heart-and-dagger struggles of various powers also gradually reached a fever pitch.
However, in the midst of this complex situation with undercurrents swirling, all the major sects, including the Puppet Immortal Sect, maintained their silence.
Because the truly clever knew that no matter what kind of schemes or tricks you employed, they were all predicated on the foundation of power.
Without power, everything else was as elusive and ineffectual as flowers reflected in a mirror or the moon’s reflection on the water.
Xue An led Xiao Shui and others to take up residence in the Puppet Immortal Sect’s subsidiary estate within Luofu City.
...
Owing to the special status of Luofu City, each major sect had a subsidiary estate here.
One reason was for convenience during the Thousand Races Conference, but more importantly, it was for the collection of intelligence.
According to Cang Yayun, every Thousand Races Conference took place in a different region of the Heavenly Dao.
Knowing in advance which part of the Heavenly Dao would open, naturally, would be greatly beneficial in achieving good results.
But such intelligence was held in the hands of the City Lord of Luofu City.
Only the City Lord of Luofu City could ascertain when the Heavenly Dao region would open and what the situation inside was like, through an ability akin to a heritage of bloodline talent.
No one else could fathom such knowledge.
This was also why Luofu City held such an extraordinary position, yet had not been annexed by any other sect.
To this, Xue An merely smiled.
The so-called regions of the Heavenly Dao should be the abodes created by the will of this world’s Heavenly Dao.
This was not too surprising.
But Xue An was quite interested in this City Lord of Luofu City.
The fact that he could access information ahead of time indicated that he could connect with the will of the Heavenly Dao of this world.
Furthermore, to be able to pass it down generation after generation as a bloodline talent made it all the more interesting.
Just as Xue An’s interest had peaked,
An invitation was delivered to the estate of the Puppet Immortal Sect by the evening of that day.
The invitation was simple, asking the Sect Leader and elders of the Puppet Immortal Sect to attend a banquet at the City Lord’s Mansion the following evening.
The invitation was signed by the City Lord of Luofu City, Luo Wenshi.
Cang Yayun was not at all surprised by the invitation.
Before each Thousand Races Conference, the incumbent City Lord would always host a banquet.
This had become a traditional custom.
As Cang Yayun predicted, countless invitations were sent out from the City Lord’s Mansion, inviting people from all sects and clans to the following evening’s banquet.
The already tense atmosphere was further stirred by this event, with alliances forming and feuds emerging one after another.
At the same time,
A somewhat dilapidated black carriage entered Luofu City under the cover of the moonlight, at a leisurely pace.
The carriage journeyed through the bustling streets, passed several alleyways, and eventually stopped in front of a rather inconspicuous inn.
That very day, this small inn had closed early, and the shopkeeper, dressed in fresh attire, waited eagerly at the door.
When he saw the carriage arrive, he rushed forward excitedly.
Then the carriage curtain was lifted,
Hua You’an and the two Hua Clan youths stepped down from the carriage.
The shopkeeper was at first startled to see that it was three youths of tender years, then with reddened eyes, he bowed deeply and said, “I pay my respects to the three noble heroes.”
