Xia Pingan's ears were very sensitive. Although he was standing, the whispers from the crowd still reached his ears.
This kind of occasion was rare. Almost all the important people in the Immortal City had appeared.
"Ah, I didn't expect Master Fire Crow to come too …"
"Master Fire Crow is here …"
There was a commotion in the crowd at the entrance of the manager's hall. When Xia Pingan turned his head, he saw Deacon Ling accompanying an old man wearing a black mage robe from the Wan Shen Sect. The old man flew over and stood in front of the group.
The old man had a horse face and a little goatee. He looked like he had taken good care of himself. He looked like a prince, but when he looked at people, his face was slightly raised and his nose was raised. He looked like a tsundere.
A black mage robe in the Wan Shen Sect symbolized the cultivation of the Seven Sun Realm. Looking at the commotion caused by the old man, one could imagine the old man's reputation in the Immortal City. He was definitely a top figure, no wonder he caused such a commotion. Xia Pingan remembered looking for Master Fire Crow before. There were summoners queuing outside Master Fire Crow's shop, waiting to refine soul tools. The quota was arranged until four or five years later, which was a bit exaggerated.
Master Fire Crow's reputation in the Immortal City was much greater than Xia Pingan's.
"I didn't expect Master Fire Crow to join the Wan Shen Sect?" Exclamations came from the crowd.
"Of course, as long as the price is right, who can refuse …"
"I heard that the Wan Shen Sect promised Master Fire Crow the God's Spring to advance to the Energy Shaping Realm. Not many people can get the God's Spring …"
"No wonder …"
Listening to the voices around him, Xia Pingan thought for a while. Master Fire Crow was originally refining soul tools in the Immortal City, which was indirectly serving the Wan Shen Sect. The Wan Shen Sect was in such a hurry to recruit soul masters and even promised such benefits. It was probably not as simple as just wanting soul masters to refine soul tools for the Wan Shen Sect.
Xia Pingan looked at Liang Tian. What Liang Tian said to him last time seemed to be hinting at something.
Looks like I have to be more careful! Perhaps there was something dangerous waiting for me behind the scenes ….
Just as Xia Pingan was pondering, he felt a piercing gaze landing on his face. He turned his head and saw that Grandmaster Fire Crow had turned his head and was staring at him. His eyebrows were slightly raised and his mouth was tightly pursed. His gaze was somewhat unfriendly and seemed to be filled with hostility.
Damn it, when did I offend him? I didn't owe him any money, and I didn't dig up his ancestral graves. Why did he have such an expression?
With this thought in mind, Xia Pingan glared back. The corner of Grandmaster Fire Crow's mouth lifted, revealing a trace of a sneer. He turned his head and whispered a few words to Deacon Ling beside him.
Deacon Ling turned his head to look at Xia Pingan and nodded slightly, as if confirming Xia Pingan's identity with Grandmaster Fire Crow.
At this moment, Xia Pingan heard Deacon Liang's voice.
Deacon Liang didn't turn his head, but he seemed to have already sensed something.
"The one over there who is wearing a black robe with golden cuffs is Grandmaster Fire Crow from Immortal City. You have to be more careful in the future, that person might not be friendly to you!"
"Why, I didn't offend him!" Xia Pingan gloomily asked.
"People of the same trade are enemies, haven't you heard of this phrase? You have already offended him, or maybe you just didn't realize it!"
"When?"
"Last time when I gave you three soul tools, one of the better ones was refined by Grandmaster Fire Crow. The soul tool you refined for Guo Qing, Guo Qing took it out to show off, saying that it was better than the one refined by Grandmaster Fire Crow. The soul tool that was fused with was more abundant. When Grandmaster Fire Crow heard this, he felt that you stole his limelight. If this isn't offending him, then what is?"
F * ck!
Xia Pingan was gloomy. If Grandmaster Fire Crow's soul tool was compared to the soul tools refined by other soul masters, it should be slightly better. However, in his eyes, Grandmaster Fire Crow's soul tool was refined like sh * t. He had already been so low-key, pinching his nose and suppressing his own strength, but he didn't expect that he would still be envied by others and become their enemy. This was an unexpected disaster.
"Oh right, what is the name of the red-robed deacon beside Grandmaster Fire Crow?"
"That is Deacon Ling, called Ling Wujiu. Deacon Ling and I don't get along well. I am now your Commander Deacon, be careful that Deacon Ling doesn't spit on you!"
"Deacon Liang, is telling me this a secret among the deacons of Immortal City?"
Liang Tian turned his head to look at Xia Pingan and said indifferently, "This isn't considered a secret. My personality is different from his, it's just that we can't get together. Moreover, there is also competition between deacons. The higher-ups also want to see this kind of competition. It's not that easy to stand out in Wan Shen Sect!"
Xia Pingan nodded his head.
Other than Grandmaster Fire Crow, there were two other Soul Masters. Xia Pingan also saw them. The other two Soul Masters were like him, wearing white robes with golden patterns on the cuffs. Each of them stood beside a red-robed deacon. Compared to Grandmaster Fire Crow, the two Soul Masters didn't have such obvious hostility towards Xia Pingan. When they saw Xia Pingan looking at them, they turned their heads and nodded their heads at Xia Pingan.
"Those two Soul Masters, the one with white sideburns and a scholarly temperament is called Feng Yu, and the one with a black face is called Luo Yundi. They are both newly recruited Soul Masters from Wan Shen Sect!" Liang Tian's voice sounded.
"Ahem, Deacon Liang, why don't you tell me secretly why Wan Shen Sect is suddenly so anxious to recruit Soul Masters? It can't be just for a few Soul Tools, right? Why do I feel a little guilty!" Xia Pingan asked with a salivating face.
Liang Tian glanced at Xia Pingan, "Five Soul Tools!"
"What?" Xia Pingan thought that he had heard wrongly.
"If you refine five Soul Tools for me, I will tell you the reason!" Liang Tian asked for a bribe so straightforwardly, which made Xia Pingan somewhat uncomfortable, "Don't look at me like that, those Soul Tools are useful to me too. Even if I don't use them, I can still use them for other things. Don't tell me you think that just because I am a Red Robe Sorcerer that I am above worldly affairs!"
Xia Pingan gritted his teeth, "Okay, then it's a deal. As long as Deacon Liang brings people here, I will refine five Soul Tools for you. That should be enough, right?"
"Yes!"
"Then Deacon Liang can tell me the reason why Wan Shen Sect is recruiting Soul Masters. Don't tell me they want to sell us out?"
Liang Tian shrugged lightly and said casually, "Let's talk after the five Soul Tools are refined!"
Damn!
These guys, none of them are easy to deal with!
After waiting for a while, three Managers wearing blue Sorcerer robes walked out from the Manager Hall. Manager Fu, whom Xia Pingan had met before, walked in the middle of the three Managers with a solemn expression.
Seeing Manager Fu's appearance, the voices outside the Manager Hall suddenly stopped.
Manager Fu's dignified gaze swept across the entire place, "These few days, there have been strange changes in the God Slaying Insect World. Everyone knows about it. The Abyss Insect Tribe is restless and the Insect Tide is attacking. My Wan Shen Sect's Immortal City and Abyss Fortress are the first to bear the brunt. Today, a Netherpassage Realm Explosive Flame Insect broke through the outer defense line of Immortal City and attacked Immortal City. The situation that Immortal City is facing now is extremely serious. Immortal City and Abyss Fortress are the foundation that my Wan Shen Sect has painstakingly built. We cannot give it up so easily.
Manager Fu's voice spread throughout the entire Immortal City. Some people stopped being excited while others were frightened.
Xia Pingan didn't feel much when he heard it. In history, there were too many people who said the same thing. He knew that the so-called fight to the death was only Wan Shen Sect's attitude. When the benefits were greater than the effort, Wan Shen Sect's attitude was firm. But once the situation was completely reversed, they couldn't do anything. It was just Immortal City, Wan Shen Sect could give it up just like that. They couldn't endlessly invest their strength in a gamble where the cost was less than the benefits.
"From now on, all the inner disciples must listen to my orders. Outer disciples who are afraid can leave now. But if they leave now, they will never be able to step into Wan Shen Sect's territory. For the outer disciples who stay, Wan Shen Sect will reward them with various rare Realm Pearls and Soul Tools based on their performance. The Insect Tide in front of us is not only a crisis but also an opportunity for us to improve ourselves …"
Manager Fu said a bunch of words and then directly announced that Immortal City would send out a large group of Summoners under the leadership of a manager to support the Abyss Fortress. At the same time, the city began to actively prepare for war. They arranged for small teams to patrol and consolidate the defensive line outside the city. They also seized the opportunity to kill the Insect Tribe and made preparations for the war.
In order to motivate those outer disciples, after Manager Fu finished speaking, he directly named those outer disciples who had performed outstandingly recently and rewarded them with 10 Soul Tools. In an instant, it caused a commotion among the outer disciples.
After Manager Fu finished speaking, Liang Tian brought Xia Pingan directly into the Manager Hall and came to Manager Fu's office in the Manager Hall.
Master Fire Crow, Feng Yu and Luo Yundi also came together with their respective Commanders and Deacons.
The four Soul Masters of Immortal City officially met here for the first time.
"Four Masters, you are all Soul Masters of Immortal City and can be considered as the elites among the disciples. Immortal City is now facing a crisis and urgently needs Soul Tools to kill the enemy and boost the morale of Wan Shen Sect. In the future, I might have to trouble all of you!" Manager Fu's gaze swept across the faces of the four of them.
"Ahem, since we've joined the Wan Shen Sect, we're bound together for good or ill. At this time, it's natural for us to work for the Wan Shen Sect. Manager Fu, you don't have to be polite. We'll do our best!" Among the four Soul Masters, before Xia Pingan spoke, Master Fire Crow had already taken the initiative to represent everyone to express their attitude. Looking at his appearance, he had already treated himself as the leader of the four Soul Masters. After speaking, he even glanced at Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan didn't say anything.
"Very good, since Master Fire Crow said so, I am relieved!" Manager Fu smiled, "I have discussed with the other Managers and we are preparing to set up a Soul Tools Hall in Immortal City. This Soul Tools Hall is specially responsible for refining Soul Tools. Of course, we will also provide the necessary resources for the Soul Tools Hall. I am preparing to appoint Master Long Huan as the Hall Master of the Soul Tools Hall, what do you all think?"
When Master Fire Crow heard about the Soul Tools Hall, his face lit up and the corner of his mouth revealed a smile. When he heard that Manager Fu was preparing to appoint Xia Pingan as the Hall Master of the Soul Tools Hall, his face flushed red and he clenched his fists …
"I object!" Master Fire Crow jumped out immediately.
