Although Cheron's eyes gleamed with sharpness, he didn't say anything. He stared at the female beside Xuan Zhu's corpse and upon seeing her staring at Qin Wentian with hatred, he already had a guess in his heart.
"Did you do something to Xuan Zhu?" That female coldly asked as she stared at Qin Wentian. If it was really just the bell chimes, it was impossible for Xuan Zhu to die directly. Everyone here had heard the reverberations of the bell chimes and although their internal organs were shaken, it wasn't to the extent of their heart meridians being destroyed.
Qin Wentian slowly turned his gaze over, staring at that female as a cold light flashed in his eyes. "You guys are so brazen, wanting to expel others and even wanted to attack me, yet he was suddenly killed by the sound of the bell chimes. What does this have to do with me?"
The female bit her lips, she didn't know what to say. Earlier, it was indeed Xuan Zhu who acted against Qin Wentian. But when the bell chimes rang out, Xuan Zhu was instantly killed. Qin Wentian basically didn't move at all, there weren't any fluctuations of aura from him. This was definitely real.
"A bunch of people are wasting space here, can't we expel them?" At this moment, the cold and arrogant female from the Seven Sword Sect stared at Qin Wentian. Earlier, she was the one who gave the order to expel them, yet this young man actually dared to doubt her words? How impudent.
"We are wasting space?" A cold smile of disdain appeared on Qin Wentian's face. "Hearing your words, those who don't know might really think that you are capable of causing the bell chimes. How laughable."
After speaking, Qin Wentian no longer glanced at the icily arrogant young woman from the Seven Sword Sect. As the sound of his voice faded, that young woman took a step forward as sword qi gushed forth like a raging tempest, extremely terrifying to the extreme. It felt as though the sword qi alone could tear people apart, shredding them into a thousand pieces. Qin Wentian naturally could feel the immense pressure from the sword qi. His opponent's cultivation base was at the seventh-level of Celestial Phenomenon and could already be considered an extremely powerful character.
"Nion." At this moment, Cheron who was in the air spoke. His eyes stared at the icily arrogant female from the Seven Sword Sect. Evidently, he knew of her existence as well. This Nion was also an extremely famous character in the Seven Sword Sect. They were both geniuses of the younger generation of the Cloud Prefecture and although they were separated by a great distance, they knew of each other.
Nion inclined her head, staring at Cheron.
"The others aren't wrong. Why are you, a sword cultivator, here to join in the fun and say that others are wasting space? Could it be that you can ring the bell?" Cheron smiled faintly as he spoke. His eyes glowed with a faint golden light, giving off a unique sense of sharpness.
"My business has nothing to do with you." Nion replied in a low voice. Her tone was clearly not as Cold and arrogant as when she was talking to Qin Wentian. Although she still maintained her cold demeanor, she had lost some of her previous imposing manner. This was because she was facing a different person.
If an immortal king was facing an immortal-foundation character, his aura would naturally be high and mighty, unexcelled in the world. But if he was facing an immortal emperor, would he still dare to display any arrogance? Most probably, he would only be filled with respect. Hence, even if it was the same person, when facing different people, his aura would still change according to his attitude.
"It has nothing to do with me. But this place is the Driftsnow City and not the Seven Sword Sect. Since everyone from the Cloud Prefecture is here to attempt to communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells, could it be that you know who is capable of doing so and who isn't? If you can't do it yourself, what qualifications do you have to expel others? " Cheron's tone grew stronger and stronger. The aura radiating from his eyes grew even more domineering, truly pressing down on others.
Under this aura, the icily arrogant Nion's aura was clearly much weaker. She had no way to contend against Cheron and could only snort coldly, not saying anything.
Cheron stepped out and landed on the ground. Qin Wentian stared at him and upon seeing that Cheron was also looking at him, a carefree smile appeared on his face. "Many thanks."
"What are you thanking me for?" Cheron's eyes flickered with a meaningful smile. "Cheron from the Wondergate Immortal Manor. What about you?"
"Tianwen." Qin Wentian smiled as he replied. This place was one of the three main cities of the Jiangling Country, the Driftsnow City. The Jiangling Country has long issued a bounty for his arrest. Once he revealed his real name, he would instantly fall into a dangerous situation. Hence, he could only continue to use an alias.
"Tianwen." Cheron repeated, as though he regarded this name with great importance. After that, he asked again, "Brother Tianwen, which sect are you from?"
"My cultivation base is too low and I've brought shame to my sect. I don't dare to speak nonsense in public." Qin Wentian replied.
"Understood." Cheron casually smiled. He didn't know what the word 'understood' meant.
"Cheron, you are truly in the mood for leisure." At this moment, a voice drifted over. The person who spoke was none other than Jiang Yan from the Jiang Clan. This Cheron actually came here and started chatting with an unknown character. Truly, he was in the mood for leisure.
"Haha, who asked me to be ahead of you in terms of comprehension? Also, I'm already strong enough to attract the attention of the Nine Immortality Bells. Naturally, I'm in the mood for leisure. As for you, the Jiang Clan, you are truly getting weaker and weaker." Cheron laughed, his words causing Jiang Yan's countenance to turn cold. He coldly snorted and continued, "Let's see who will have the last laugh."
After speaking, he no longer bothered with Cheron. He closed his eyes and attempted to communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells again.
"I also want to see what's so special about this Nine Immortality Bell that can 'chime' on its own." Cheron sat beside Qin Wentian and similarly closed his eyes, attempting to comprehend the Nine Immortality Bells. Nion had an unfriendly expression on her face as she glanced at him and Qin Wentian before she left. As for the other experts, they all went on with their own matters.
Seems like this was truly an accident. The Nine Immortality Bells chimed on its own due to some special reason.
Qin Wentian faintly sensed that Cheron had seen through something. However, Cheron was extremely carefree, he didn't say anything and just sat at the side, attempting to communicate with the Nine Immortality Bells.
After that, Qin Wentian also closed his eyes as his perception gushed out. He could faintly sense that there was a strange connection between him and the Nine Immortality Bells. With just a single thought, his perception entered the Nine Immortality Bells.
This towering immortal bell was like a mirror. Through this mirror, Qin Wentian could faintly see a blurry scene. In front of him was a majestic ancient city. There were no living beings in this city, and within this ancient city, divine weapons were all forged.
It was as though this boundlessly vast ancient city was created by a weaponsmith, and was filled with boundless mysteries.
Snowflakes drifted about in the city. Qin Wentian saw a gigantic palm that blotted out the sun stretching out, directly blanketing an entire region. This palm simply stood there, allowing the snowflakes to land on its palm, appearing somewhat lonely.
The scene was blurry yet beautiful.
"Is this the Driftsnow City?" Qin Wentian mused. There have always been many legends circulating around the Driftsnow City, and among them, the Nine Immortality Bells were the most widespread. But as time passed, the people only pursued the secrets of the Nine Immortality Bells, wanting to grow stronger and ascend to immortality with a single step. As for those ancient stories, they seemed to have vanished in the long river of time.
"There are scenes within the Nine Immortality Bells. In that case, should I communicate with all nine bells before I can unravel the complete secret?" Qin Wentian mused.
Unknowingly, a few days passed. The Jiangling King would be hosting a banquet in the Driftsnow Inn today. Many geniuses gathered in groups of three to five, heading towards the Driftsnow Inn.
Cheron opened his eyes and halted his cultivation. He glanced at Qin Wentian beside him as he spoke in a light voice, "Brother Tianwen."
Qin Wentian opened his eyes and stared at Cheron.
"Today, the Jiangling King Pei Tianyuan is hosting a banquet. How about you and I go together?" Cheron invited Qin Wentian.
"I won't be going." Qin Wentian shook his head. The Jiangling King had already issued a warrant for his arrest. Why would he go and participate in his banquet?
"Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well go and take a look at the geniuses of the Jiangling Country. In addition, Brother Tianwen, this time around, there are many experts from the major powers of the Cloud Prefecture who came to the Driftsnow City. An example would be my Wondergate Immortal Manor, as well as the Jiang Clan of Jiang Yan, all of them are considered to be peak powers of the Cloud Prefecture. There's no harm in going to such a banquet. Who knows, you might even be able to make some friends. I can introduce some to you."
Cheron persuaded, sounding extremely passionate. Qin Wentian's countenance flickered as he stared at Cheron.
"Brother Tianwen, the legend of the Nine Immortality Bells has existed for a very long time. Many years ago, there were many experts who came here wanting to decipher it but to no avail. Although I, Cheron, am extraordinary, I can faintly sense that the secret of the Nine Immortality Bells would be extremely difficult for me to unravel. However, I do hope to be able to witness someone being able to do so." Cheron stared at Qin Wentian's eyes as a smile appeared on his face. He transmitted his voice over, "If the person who can decipher this legend is a friend of mine, it would naturally be a matter of great honor. Haha."
Although Cheron's words were vague, how could Qin Wentian not understand? Cheron should have already confirmed that the reason why the bell chimes rang out that day was because of him, Qin Wentian. Now, he only wanted to make friends with him.
"Okay, let's go for a walk then." Qin Wentian smiled. After that, he stood up. Upon seeing this scene, Cheron also smiled, "Let's go, the Driftsnow Inn is a marvelous sight in the Driftsnow City. Even just looking at it would be a delightful thing."
As the two of them spoke, they stepped out at the same time, moving in the direction of the Driftsnow Inn.
The Driftsnow Inn didn't refer to a simple building but rather, it was a cluster of buildings. With a single glance, the white snow drifted about, causing the buildings to be covered in a layer of silver.
This cluster of buildings had a flight of stairs leading up to it. Beautiful ancient trees could be seen on both sides, with plum blossoms blooming amidst the drifting snow. It was like a flight of stairs in a snowy country, extremely beautiful.
On the stairs, there were countless experts walking about, chatting and laughing. All of them were deeply impressed by the beauty of this place.
Cheron and Qin Wentian also walked up the stairs. Upon seeing this marvelous sight, Qin Wentian sighed, "This scenery is countless times more beautiful compared to the paintings."
"Indeed, the Driftsnow Inn is built on the snowy mountain range. For those who cultivate in the snow attribute laws, they would often come here to comprehend and cultivate. They would often forget to return home, attracted by the beauty of this place." Cheron nodded.
"I heard that the love story between the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade originated from this place." In front of Qin Wentian, a gentle voice rang out, filled with yearning.
"Yeah, this place is truly beautiful. Little miss, how good would it be if we could stay here for a long time in the future."
"Seems like females love beautiful scenery even more than us." Cheron laughed when he saw this scene. The two in front turned and Qin Wentian nodded to the young miss. This young miss was none other than Pei Yu whom he had met once in the teahouse. She was the young miss of the Jiangling King Manor.
