Xing Sect's Little Xing City was similar to Divine Sect's Little God City.
Other than the nine super sects, anyone could enter as long as they didn't cause any trouble.
Wutian had changed his appearance. He looked like a weak youth with a folding fan in his hand.
After descending on a small path near Little Xing City, he waved his folding fan and slowly walked towards the city gate. He looked like a wanderer who had come here for a stroll.
The city gate was several feet tall and people could be seen coming and going from time to time.
Two people wearing Xing Sect's uniform were guarding the gate. They didn't question the people who came out and even ignored them.
However, everyone who went in would be carefully examined.
When they were checking Wutian.
"Name?"
"Du Sheng."
"Cultivation?"
"Great Success Heng Yu."
"What are you doing in Little Xing City?"
"I'm here to have a few drinks."
"Have you joined any forces?"
"No."
"… …"
The person on the left kept asking but Wutian didn't stop and answered smoothly.
After a round of checking.
Wutian finally entered Little Xing City.
In theory, the checking was just a formality and didn't have much meaning.
After all, who couldn't change their appearance after reaching such a level of cultivation?
The only way to check a person's background was to read their memories. However, who didn't have privacy? This method wasn't advisable.
However, they weren't afraid of people causing trouble in Little Xing City.
Xing Sect wasn't the only one with such confidence. The ten super sects all had it.
As super existences in the Nine Immortal Continent, they were deeply rooted in people's hearts. Who would dare to cause trouble in their territory?
They were simply courting death.
People like Wutian were rare exceptions.
After entering the city, Wutian strolled around and looked for a restaurant.
The restaurant he was looking for wasn't an ordinary one. It was a restaurant where Heng Yu experts frequented.
This was because the chances of meeting Zheng Fan would be higher in this kind of place.
Taking a step back, even if he didn't meet Zheng Fan, he could find a better opportunity to lure him out of Xing Sect.
Gradually.
When he arrived at the central district of Xiaoxing City, the streets were bustling with people.
But vaguely, Wutian heard the sound of a zither.
At first, he didn't care.
But gradually, the sound of the zither became clearer and clearer. It was melodious and very pleasant to listen to.
He stopped and searched for the source of the zither sound.
Finally, in the distance, he found a restaurant called Yuexin House. The sound of the zither was coming from that restaurant.
With a strong sense of curiosity, he walked over in large strides.
A moment later.
He came to the entrance of Yuexin Pavilion.
People came and went on the streets, but they didn't stop or look around, as if they were already used to it.
Walking into Yuexin House, Wutian found that although the place was full of guests, all of them were men.
The restaurant was a place for drinking and singing, so it should have been very noisy. However, there was no sound of discussion here, only the sound of the zither reverberating in the air.
Even those burly and fierce-looking men did not utter a word.
Furthermore.
Wutian looked around and found that there were no delicacies in front of each guest. There were only a few simple dishes and a pot of wine.
Everyone was silent and sipping their wine, as if they were immersed in the beautiful melody. It was as if they didn't want to disturb the peaceful atmosphere here.
"Sir, this way please."
A waiter came up to him and deliberately lowered his voice.
Wutian waved his folding fan, looking very polite. He followed the waiter to a corner and looked up.
Yuexin House had a total of three floors. It was antique, but there was no pavilion. It was an open hall.
The upper two floors were also packed with people.
But in the void of the second floor, there was a pavilion floating. It was small and exquisite, with a layer of light on its surface.
Obviously.
The pavilion was made of some kind of divine wood.
The sound of the zither was coming from the pavilion.
But the pavilion was surrounded by curtains, and one could only vaguely see a graceful figure sitting inside, playing the zither.
There was also a plaque hanging above the front, engraved with three elegant words, Yuexin Pavilion.
The waiter led Wutian to a table in the corner and stretched out his hand. "Sir, please sit."
Wutian nodded, retracted his gaze and sat in front of the table.
"Sir, what do you need?"
The waiter asked.
Wutian smiled and said, "A few dishes and two pots of wine will be enough."
"Wait a moment."
The waiter said, turned around and left silently.
Wutian looked at the Yuexin Pavilion again.
The sound of the zither was like a gentle breeze and drizzle, lingering in the beam, indeed having the effect of pleasing the body and mind.
Yuexin Pavilion, Yuexin Pavilion, it was worthy of its name.
But who was the person playing the zither?
The waiter quickly served a few dishes and two pots of wine.
Soon.
The Astronomical Token in Wutian's arms buzzed.
"You're here already?"
He was surprised and sent his Divine Will into it, replying to a message.
A moment later.
A black-robed burly man walked into Yuexin Pavilion and went straight to Wutian's table, sitting opposite Wutian.
Wutian pointed to the other pot of wine that was untouched and sent a voice transmission with a smile, "Don't stand on ceremony."
"Nonsense, if I stand on ceremony with you, I'll be at a disadvantage."
The black-robed burly man said secretly and picked up the wine pot and cup, drinking to his heart's content.
Wutian smiled and asked, "Does Ye Xiuling know that you're looking for me?"
That's right.
That burly man was Ni Yeye!
"Of course not."
Ni Yeye replied and scanned the surroundings. Looking at the Yuexin Pavilion, he asked in confusion, "Did you ask me to rush here just to drink?"
Wutian sent a voice transmission, "No, I asked you to come because I want to deal with someone. His name is Zheng Fan. Not only does he know us well, he's also thinking of ways to get rid of us."
"Zheng Fan?"
Ni Yeye raised his eyebrows.
Wutian said, "I don't know his true identity, but my initial guess is that he's our common enemy. He came in through the Nine Immortals Sect when we weren't paying attention."
Ni Yeye frowned and said, "Our common enemy doesn't seem to be anyone else other than the Divine Palace. But that doesn't make sense. If he's really from the Divine Palace, he would only target you!"
"That's what I don't understand. There are only two major forces in the Ancient Battlefield, the Divine Palace and the East Continent. Ye Xiuling and I have never had a feud with the same person."
Wutian's brows were tightly knitted, and he was also puzzled.
"Could there be a third force hidden in the Ancient Battlefield?"
Ni Yeye guessed.
"Impossible. If there's really a third force, grandfather and the Creation God would have discovered it long ago."
Wutian denied this possibility.
Ni Yeye asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
Wutian said, "Lure Zheng Fan out and ask him face to face."
Ni Yeye said, "Then we can only sneak into the Xing Sect."
Wutian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see. If it doesn't work out, we'll sneak into the Xing Sect. Right, the Divine Sect should have received news of the disappearance of the Spacetime Mirror. How did they react?"
Ni Yeye said, "What else can they do? They're just surprised. Thanks to you, Ye Xiuling and I've been exposed. However, the Divine Sect only interrogated us and didn't take any action. Right, have you seen Chen Yue?"
Wutian was puzzled, "Isn't he in the Divine Sect?"
Ni Yeye said, "No, not long after you left, the Great Elder sent him. First, to destroy the image and second, to kill the previous Second Elder."
Wutian suddenly understood and shook his head, "I didn't see him."
Ni Yeye smiled, "This person is quite upright. If there's a chance, we can cooperate with him. Also, I heard the Great Elder say something very strange. He said that our appearance means that the Nine Immortals Ancient Ruins is about to open."
"Nine Immortals Ancient Ruins?"
Wutian was stunned.
"I specifically asked him, but he didn't say anything. The others in the Divine Sect also keep this matter a secret. It's a bit mysterious."
Ni Yeye shook his head.
"From the name, it's not hard to guess that it's an ancient Divine Ruin. However, the real situation still needs to be investigated. Let's figure out Zheng Fan's identity first," Wutian said.
Ni Yeye nodded, "We have to hurry. If we don't return in three days, Ye Xiuling might become suspicious."
"Three days? That should be enough. "
Wutian mumbled.
A moment later, the song ended and the sound of the zither gradually dissipated.
Everyone tacitly looked at the Yuexin Pavilion and saw a graceful figure stand up. However, without saying a word, she disappeared from everyone's sight.
The guests of the Yuexin Pavilion also looked as if they hadn't had enough, but no one kicked up a fuss. Some paid the bill and quietly left while others discussed in low voices.
"Miss Yuexin's zither skills are truly wonderful. I can't get tired of listening to her."
"That's right. It's a pity that she only plays for an hour every day. It's not enough to listen to."
"You should be content. With her talent and pride, it's already rare for her to play for half an hour every day."
"Isn't that so? Even Rao Chen and Wu Yuan, those two monstrous geniuses, have to depend on Miss Yuexin's mood to see her."
"… …"
Hearing these discussions, Wutian's eyes flickered. He suddenly put down his cup and looked at Ni Yeye, "I have an idea."
Ni Yeye followed, "I have one too."
Wutian smiled, "It looks like we have the same idea."
Ni Yeye smiled as well. He got up and walked to a nearby table.
There were two young men wearing the clothes of the Xing Sect sitting there. They were discussing the woman called Yuexin.
Ni Yeye smiled, "Brothers, my companion and I have just arrived in Little Xing City. It's the first time we heard Miss Yuexin's zither skills. We'll treat you to a drink. Can you tell us more about her?"
One of them frowned, "What do you want to do? Are you trying to pursue Miss Yuexin?"
Ni Yeye quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, we just admire her and want to know more about her. We don't have any other thoughts."
The man said, "You're quite tactful. Miss Yuexin doesn't even like Wu Yuan and Senior Brother Rao Chen, let alone you. Alright, since you're so sincere, we brothers will kindly tell you about Miss Yuexin's deeds."
"Thank you, thank you, please!"
Ni Yeye immediately pretended to be very happy.
The two Xing Sect disciples got up and followed Ni Yeye to Wutian's side.
