The two elders of the Serpent God Hall were immediately slightly surprised when they heard that a hall elder of the Heaven's Spirit Hall had invited the two of them as guests. Although they were elders of the Serpent God Hall, that was only their status. They were ordinary elders without any authority, so why would a great hall elder of the Heaven's Spirit Hall invite them? The two of them were extremely surprised.
However, the two elders soon frowned. One of them said, "Please tell the esteemed hall elders that we're extremely honored to be respected by them, but we have an important mission right now, so it's not convenient for us to go to the Heaven's Spirit Hall. Why don't we wait until we're done with our mission and pay a visit to the Heaven's Spirit Hall?"
The Holy Emperor from the Morning Sun tribe frowned slightly. He said with some displeasure, "Elders, I'm afraid that's a little inappropriate. Our hall elders are currently waiting for you in the Heaven's Spirit Hall. Are you going to ignore our esteemed hall elders and have them wait for you in the divine hall? Or do you not take our hall elders seriously at all?" Towards the end, the old man's voice had already become rather stern. Before he had come, he had received a death order from a hall elder to invite the two elders of the Serpent God Hall to the Heaven's Spirit Hall no matter what. The Morning Sun tribe did not possess the strength to threaten the two elders of the Serpent God Hall, so they could only use the hall elder.
The expressions of the two old men from the Serpent God Hall changed slightly. They immediately explained, "No, no, no. That's not what we meant. How could we make a esteemed hall elder wait for us? We're more than happy to receive an invitation from a hall elder, so how could we not take it seriously?" The two elders of the Serpent God Hall did not dare to offend the hall elders of the Heaven's Spirit Hall at all. Every single person who could become a hall elder was an extremely terrifying expert. They had reached the peak of the 16th Star and were only a step away from the 17th Star.
The old man from the Morning Sun tribe smiled, as if his plan had worked. He made an inviting gesture to the two of them and said, "If that's the case, then please be on your way. The four of us will lead the way for you so that no one will disturb you."
The two elders of the Serpent God Hall looked at each other and gently sighed. They could only give up on pursuing Jianchen's group and fly toward the divine hall of the Heaven's Spirit Hall helplessly. They did not dare to decline or ignore the hall elders' invitation.
Just as the two elders of the Serpent God Hall were invited to the Heaven's Spirit Hall by the people of the Morning Sun tribe, two Saint Rulers arrived at the city where Jianchen's group stayed temporarily. They were at the 13th Star and the 14th Star respectively. They were peak experts from two different tribes.
The two Saint Rulers hovered a thousand meters in the air and looked down at the city below. One of them said, "This is where the hall elders spoke of. They've probably hidden their presences in the city. The two of us are weaker than them, so it'll be extremely difficult to find them with our strength. Let's go to the city lord's estate." With that, the two Saint Rulers made their way to the city lord's estate, disappearing in the huge estate in the end.
Before long, the city guards were all mobilized. They began a thorough search of every house in the city.
A ruckus rang out from the remote inn where Jianchen's group stayed. It disturbed Jianchen who was healing.
Jianchen slowly opened his eyes. He frowned slightly as he became stern.
At this moment, the door was pushed open. Nubis and Xie Wang walked in wearing blue robes.
"Jianchen, there are quite a few soldiers searching outside. Do you think they've come for us?" Nubis asked as soon as he walked in.
Jianchen sat on the bed without moving. He slowly nodded and said, "That's right. They've come for us. The hall elders of the Heaven's Spirit Hall are looking for us."
Nubis's face changed slightly, "What? Hall elders of the Heaven's Spirit Hall? God dammit, we don't even know them. Why are they looking for us for no reason?"
"Don't tell me you've offended the hall elders of the Heaven's Spirit Hall as well," Xie Wang said as he stared at Jianchen and Nubis in doubt.
"We have nothing to do with the Heaven's Spirit Hall. Are they suddenly looking for us for the same reason as the Serpent God Hall?" Jianchen said slowly. He could not help but think of the mysterious key that shined with intense blue light stored in the artifact space.
"I think that's probably the case. The experts of the Heaven's Spirit Hall sure are resourceful. As soon as we've entered their territory, they've already come looking for us." Nubis was stern. They had just escaped from the Serpent God Hall. Originally, they thought that they would be safe and could find a place to cultivate without any worries. However, they never thought that trouble would come looking for them before they could even rest after entering the Heaven's Spirit Hall. They were in trouble once again.
"Open the door and search!" At this time, a rude shout came from outside the door. The door of the inn was kicked open, and several soldiers wearing special armor walked in from outside.
Jianchen, Nubis, and Nubis all looked at the soldiers. Although their gazes were very indifferent, the soldiers immediately felt their hearts tighten when they faced the gazes of Saint Rulers. It was as if all the air in the surroundings had been sucked away, making it difficult for them to breathe.
The captain at the very front forcefully maintained his composure. He glanced past Jianchen, Nubis, and Nubis in fear and said, "We've been ordered to search for criminals. Sorry for the disturbance, warriors. Let's go." The captain did not dare to stay any longer. With a wave of his hand, he left the room with the soldiers behind him. At the same time, he gently closed the door behind him.
Afterward, the captain immediately left the inn and hurried to the city lord's estate.
Jianchen slowly stood up in the inn and said, "Our exact location has been discovered."
"How unlucky. How did I run into so much trouble as soon as I followed you? First, the Serpent God Hall hunted me down, and now, the Heaven's Spirit Hall is searching for us everywhere. If I had known earlier, I would never have followed you here to suffer even if I couldn't break through to the 15th Star," Xie Wang grumbled as he crossed his arms. He was filled with regret.
Nubis looked at the resentful Xie Wang and snickered, "It's a pity that you have no other choice, because you've already offended the people of the Serpent God Hall. I don't think the Serpent God Hall will let you go. Even if you hide in the territory of the Heaven's Spirit Hall, they'll still have ways to take your life. The only way for you to survive now is to follow us."
"Let's not talk about this right now. Let's go. They've already discovered us, so we can't stay here any longer," Xie Wang sighed. There was no turning back now. Nubis was right. In order to maintain their dignity, the Serpent God Hall would never let go of anyone who opposed them.
Jianchen walked to the window and opened it. He stared at the bustling street outside with brimming eyes and said, "The Heaven's Spirit Hall has come looking for us for no reason, so it definitely won't be anything good. We can't stay here any longer. We need to leave as soon as possible and go to the territory of the Poseidon Hall. We might be safer there."
"Are you sure the people of the Poseidon Hall won't make trouble for you?" Xie Wang asked in concern.
Jianchen hesitated. He could not help but think of the words of the mysterious woman who had given him the Water Spirit Pearl. She had once told him that if he could not stay in the Serpent God Hall any longer, he could go to the territory of the Poseidon Hall. It would be safe there.
"I think we'll stay in the Poseidon Hall because no one will make trouble for us," Jianchen gently murmured. He believed that the mysterious woman would not harm him.
"Alright, let's hope that's the case. Let's go now," Xie Wang said in a hurry. Xie Wang said anxiously. He really didn't want to stay here for even a moment longer. Every moment he stayed here, there would be more danger.
At this moment, two tremendous presences appeared from the city lord's estate. Two figures directly flew towards the inn where Jianchen's group was.
They moved very quickly, arriving at the entrance of the inn in just a few seconds. With a slight sway of their bodies, they turned into blurs and climbed up the stairs extremely quickly. They appeared in the room where the three of them were.
The two of them were old men in their sixties. They wore blue robes, and their long blue hair was coiled into a bun on top of their heads. Their deep eyes were like the vast starry sky, making it very difficult to tell what they were thinking from their eyes.
"I am Daan. Greetings, warriors."
"I am Tenisk. Greetings, warriors."
As soon as the two old men entered the room, they did not allow Jianchen's group to speak. They clasped their hands at them and greeted them. They were extremely friendly.
Jianchen's group looked at one another before Jianchen said emotionlessly, "May I ask why the two of you have suddenly come looking for us?"
"Three brave warriors, the two of us are from two different tribes thousands of miles away. Not long ago, we received a message from the esteemed Temple Elder. The esteemed Temple Elder has invited the two of you to the Heaven's Spirit Palace," Tenisk said with a smile.
"Please reply to the esteemed hall elder. The three of us are currently busy, so we might not be able to go to the hall right now. However, we will definitely come and apologize in the future," Jianchen said.
Daan and Tenisk were troubled. One of them said, "Warrior, that's not very good. This is an invitation personally sent by the esteemed hall elder. How can you refuse?"
"Please tell the hall elder what I just said. The three of us still have matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving first," Jianchen said without any hesitation. He immediately left with Nubis and Daan.
