There was a tavern called "Sega" in the slum's Sixth Ring Road area, and the signboard hanging over its door smelled of light pollution.
The purple neon sign flickered at a strange frequency.
This was the most prosperous and lively place in the slum area of this technology cultivation city.
The rich in the core area didn't just earn money from the rich, but also from the poor. For example, Zhu Yuanrun ran a shady business in underground boxing arenas.
In addition to several large auction houses in the core area, the wealthy merchant Jia Bugui, who was currently under Wang Ming's control, also benefited behind the scenes from many taverns and bathing centers.
For the poor, their lives were inseparable from baths and alcohol, which were excellent ways to relieve the fatigue of the day.
Before coming here, Wang Ming had already informed Jia Bugui's manservants to completely clear out the tavern so that the members of Battle Sect who had come to this world could have a meeting place.
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal and Loopy Toad were the first to arrive after receiving Wang Ming's brainwave message.
After coming to the Illusory Land of Nothingness, Loopy Toad took on a human form, which was a rare occurrence. In a modern cultivation city, its beautiful green hair in human form would be laughed at.
But that wasn't the case in this technology city. Apart from the people in the core area, every mechanized cultivator displayed their individuality to the extreme, with all sorts of colorful hairstyles.
Loopy Toad's beautiful neon green hair in human form could even be seen as a manifestation of its individuality here.
When Wang Ming and the others arrived, they pushed open the door and entered to find the two of them carefully sipping a glass of iced whiskey.
When they saw each other, they cupped their fists in salute.
Wang Ming and Odd Zhuo: "Greetings, Senior Immortal."
Zhou Ziyi: "Greetings, Sect Leader Grenade-Throwing!"
Qin Zong grinned and cupped his fists in salute. "So you're the Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal that Brother Zhuo mentioned? You're younger than I imagined. "
"Brother Wang Ming has already conveyed Brother Qin's matter to me via brainwave. Since we all have the same goal now, once we're done with the Illusory Land of Nothingness, I'll definitely find a way to help Brother Qin return to his original world, "Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal said confidently.
"Since True Monarch has said so, of course I believe him unconditionally. Also, I feel that we hit it off very well, as if it's not the first time we've met. "
Qin Zong said with a smile, "It's not that urgent to go back. Because I find this place quite interesting. "
Hearing Qin Zong's response, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
In fact, he roughly knew Qin Zong's identity.
However, because he had reached an agreement with a certain someone, he didn't say it out loud.
"Everyone, take a seat. We're all brothers, so there's no need to stand on ceremony. " Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down. As always, he was amiable and didn't have the slightest air of a sect leader.
Seeing Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's attitude, Odd Zhuo also vaguely sensed something.
He somehow felt that Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal seemed to know Qin Zong …
Moreover, he knew the background of this lucky person.
After a few seconds of silence in the tavern, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal said, "Actually, to tell you the truth, back when my title of Great Death-Courting Senior had just started to gain popularity, I didn't know what to do. Then, he noticed that there was such a mysterious barrier in the Arctic Circle. It was just that my realm at the time wasn't high enough to explore this place. "
"Senior Immortal already knew?" Odd Zhuo was a little surprised by this answer.
"That's right." Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal nodded. "At that time, I sensed that this was a big game of chess. It was just that given my limited strength, I was afraid I wouldn't have been able to intervene.
"But the existence of this mysterious country in the Arctic Circle in a special barrier that no one in the world knows about … this has always been a hidden danger.
"And most importantly, the founder of this mysterious country didn't make any unnecessary movements. In order not to alert the enemy, I had to keep this matter a secret.
"I just didn't expect that Shouchong to actually have a special connection to the founder of this mysterious country."
"Since Senior Immortal already knows that this place is a hidden danger, given your personality, have you already planted spies to monitor and set up a trap?" Odd Zhuo asked.
"Of course I have. Furthermore, I specifically looked for Brother Gu, "Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal said. Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal said, "Brother Gu protected me, and the other party successfully infiltrated this world."
The truth was that the person he had wanted to look for at first had been Wang Ling.
But because Wang Ling had really troubled him too much at the time, he hadn't been able to bring himself to do it, so he had later turned to Gu Shunzhi.
Loopy Toad had listened to Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's account of the whole story before anyone else.
After he finished listening, Loopy Toad instantly felt like spitting out a mouthful of curses.
He felt that Senior Immortal was sometimes too naive.
What didn't his Little Master Ling know …
"I see."
Hearing this, Wang Ming and Odd Zhuo nodded.
After all, Gu Shunzhi was a keeper of order and an official official sent by the Heavenly Dao to correct the order of the universe. It wasn't strange for him to know about this.
It was just that they were now curious about who on earth this person Gu Shunzhi had vouched for was.
"So who is Senior Gu vouching for?" Odd Zhuo asked curiously.
As he spoke, he noticed that Qin Zong's expression was a little unusual.
For some reason, he seemed to be a little sensitive to the words "Senior Gu."
"This person's background is a little special, and perhaps none of you have heard of him. He started his business by recycling waste. The waste recycling station that you and Brother Zhuo appeared at earlier was actually something that he managed after sneaking in. "
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal smiled. "Legend has it that this senior rose to prominence in a wasteland cultivation world to begin with. But before you came here, this senior's real body had already left. "
"Real body? What do you mean, Senior Immortal? "
"After all, I entrusted him to keep an eye on this place for a while. Although I promised him a lot of benefits, I still had to let him go home to take a look." Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal explained, "So before I came here, I personally looked for Brother Ling and entrusted Venerable Nuan with leaving behind this senior's shadow."
"Ss! There's actually this kind of operation … "
Odd Zhuo sucked in a cold breath of air. "But isn't the personality of a shadow the complete opposite of the original body?"
"You can't say it's the complete opposite," Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal said. "A shadow is just an expression of what most people feel in their hearts. If a person's inner and outer appearance are similar, the shadow they create actually won't be much different. You can just treat it as the original body. This senior's shadow is very obedient and will do its best to play the role of the original body. "
Saying this, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal clapped his hands.
A few seconds later, a person slowly strolled out of the small tavern's back kitchen.
When this person pulled open the back kitchen's curtain, everyone finally got a clear look at his face. He was a handsome and delicate youngster who actually looked about the same age as Wang Ling, but the resolute expression on his face made him look a little mature.
He was wearing one-piece overalls and was carrying a long black cloth bag that looked a little like a cello case.
"Senior Immortal … is this senior a musician?" Zhou Ziyi raised his hand obediently.
"A musician? My sister is, but I'm not. " The newcomer smiled modestly. With a flip of his hand, he unloaded the big black bag from his back and put it on the ground, then patted it lightly. "This is my spirit sword."
"Spirit sword?"
Saying this, the youngster unbuckled the black bag and unzipped it.
If it wasn't for a spell like the X-Ray Spell, almost no one would have guessed that inside this bag, which looked like a large musical instrument, was actually a fiery red high-powered sniper rifle …
"Hello, everyone. Allow me to introduce my Nine Yang Divine Sword," the youngster said with a smile.
"Then senior's name is?" Odd Zhuo asked.
"Me?"
He quickly put away his playful expression and his eyes flashed. "My name is Xiang Yi."
For some reason …
After the newcomer gave his name …
Odd Zhuo, Zhou Ziyi, and even Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal … these people who had originally lived in this local modern cultivation world suddenly felt as if time and space were intertwining.
