Peerless City, City Lord's Mansion Floating Island
"Wuhen, tell them to prepare a banquet!" Zhong Shan said.
"No need. Hurry up and get what I want. I have to go to the next place." West Poison Sovereign immediately interrupted.
"Alright. You guys wait outside. I'll talk with senior for a while. Just make some tea and bring it over." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Shui Wuhen immediately replied.
West Poison Sovereign looked at Zhong Shan in surprise. A strange smile appeared on his face. Talk with him alone? This kid is really bold.
The two came to a small pavilion and sat down. The others waited outside the pavilion while a maid came over and poured tea for Zhong Shan and the West Poison Sovereign.
"Senior, what do you want?" Zhong Shan asked directly.
"Heh, kid, you're even more direct than me? Alright, I'm also in a hurry. I'll ask you for Peerless City's Immortal Monument. "West Poison Sovereign said.
"Immortal Monument?" Zhong Shan frowned.
"What? You don't want to give it to me? "West Poison Sovereign's face turned cold.
"Senior, you misunderstand. It's just that I've never heard of this Immortal Monument. Let me ask you and help you look it up. "Zhong Shan said.
"En!" West Poison Sovereign nodded.
Turning his head, Zhong Shan looked outside the pavilion and said, "Do you guys know what an Immortal Monument is?"
Zhong Shan's question puzzled everyone. Ah Da's eyes suddenly lit up. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Zhong Shan.
"Wuhen, you grew up in Peerless City. You know it best. Tell me, what is Peerless City's Immortal Monument?" Zhong Shan immediately looked at Shui Wuhen.
Ah Da's lips moved as if he wanted to say something. However, Zhong Shan stopped him with a look. Although he was slightly puzzled, he did not say anything else.
"I'm not sure. I'll have to check Peerless City's information to know if there's an Immortal Monument." Shui Wuhen said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Bring the information here and find a group of people to help you." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Shui Wuhen immediately replied.
Then, he quickly gathered the civil officials and brought over a table and chairs. He also took out a large amount of information and began to flip through it.
Zhong Shan came back to his senses and said to the West Poison Sovereign, "Senior, I'm sorry. I've only been in charge of Peerless City for a few months."
Seeing Zhong Shan's enthusiasm, the West Poison Sovereign naturally did not have much of a temper.
Ada knew something, but Zhong Shan didn't want him to talk about it. Of course, Zhong Shan had his reasons. If that was the case, wouldn't he be able to chat with the West Poison Sovereign?
"May I ask senior, how did you know that the Immortal Monument is in my Matchless City?" Zhong Shan asked with a frown.
The West Poison Sovereign was in a good mood, so he went along with the conversation. "Naturally, someone will tell me."
"Senior's strength is so strong, and you're also one of the top poison users in the world. Could this Immortal Stele be some kind of super magic treasure?" Zhong Shan asked tentatively.
"Magic treasure? Haha, if it's a super magic treasure, why would it be in Matchless City? You won't lose anything. Furthermore, there's more than one Immortal Monument in this world. "The West Poison Sovereign said as he looked at Zhong Shan strangely.
"Oh?" Zhong Shan nodded.
"Little guy, do you have some ulterior motive?" The West Poison Sovereign looked at Zhong Shan and smiled.
"Ulterior motive? What am I after? What am I after? "Zhong Shan smiled.
"You know very well what I'm after." The West Poison Sovereign smiled evilly.
"Alright, I'll be honest with you. I wonder if senior is willing to take up a position in my army?" Zhong Shan asked directly. Towards this old fox, the West Poison Sovereign, there was no need to beat around the bush.
"Position? I'm used to being free. Moreover, I still have matters to attend to. No need? "The West Poison Sovereign shook his head.
"When I say position, I'm not asking senior to do anything. I'm just asking you to leave your name. If you want to come, come. If you want to leave, leave. If senior needs anything, my army can help senior find it and do it for you," Zhong Shan said.
"Is that right? All I need to do is give your army a hand when it's in danger?" The West Poison Sovereign asked.
"That would naturally be for the best. Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine as well. It's all up to senior." Zhong Shan smiled.
"It's all up to me? I don't need to do anything? "The West Poison Sovereign frowned.
"Yes. I don't need to do anything," Zhong Shan said.
"Little guy, there are no less than a hundred people who have tried to rope me in, and each of them is a fierce and ruthless character. What about you? What ability do you have to help me? "The West Poison Sovereign laughed.
"Senior, are you looking down on my soldiers?" Zhong Shan laughed.
"Correct. As long as I'm willing, I'll even have the entire army of an Imperial Dynasty working for me. What advantage do you have?" The West Poison Sovereign shook his head.
"I know that senior doesn't want to be restricted. Otherwise, amongst all the major factions, there would definitely be one that could satisfy senior," Zhong Shan said unhurriedly.
"That's right! I just don't like being controlled by others, "the West Poison Sovereign said.
"Haha, senior misunderstands. I wouldn't dare to control senior. My army might not even be enough for senior to deal with with a wave of your hand," Zhong Shan said.
"Eh?" The West Poison Sovereign looked at Zhong Shan.
"I only want senior's grand name to intimidate the weak. I want those who dared to poison my army to tremble in fear at the mention of senior's name. My army might be weak, but it's still the army of a Heavenly Empire. We have vast information resources. If senior takes up a position in my army, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find the other Immortal Steles for senior. But at the very least, as long as we investigate, we'll definitely be able to find the other Immortal Steles," Zhong Shan said.
From the West Poison Sovereign's tone, Zhong Shan was able to deduce that the West Poison Sovereign's reluctance to hold a banquet was very likely due to the other Immortal Steles. There were many in the world? He didn't necessarily know all of them. Even if he did, with the passage of time, they might not be in a place he knew of.
Thus, he was hoping that he would take the bait.
Looking at Zhong Shan, the West Poison Sovereign hesitated.
"Commander, we found it," Shui Wuhen immediately said.
"Oh? Where is it? "Zhong Shan immediately stood up. The West Poison Sovereign also stood up excitedly.
Looking at the West Poison Sovereign, Shui Wuhen turned to look at the City Lord's Mansion. Shui Wuhen said, "In the past, Peerless City indeed had an Immortal Stele. But later, it was used to build the City Lord's Mansion's Central Great Hall.
"Tear it down and take it out!" Zhong Shan said straightforwardly.
"Eh? Yes! "Shui Wuhen immediately complied.
But the West Poison Sovereign frowned slightly.
Walking to the Central Great Hall, cultivators were really fast at tearing it down. With a few heavy blows, a few waves of the hand, and a few spells, the most luxurious hall was torn down. Soon, they found the Immortal Stele that Shui Wuhen spoke of.
The Immortal Stele was gray in color. It was a hundred meters tall and looked like a huge tombstone. On one side, there was a large 'Feng' character. The other side was as smooth as a mirror.
There was nothing special about it. It was because it was too ordinary that it was unusual. Divine sense couldn't sense its existence at all. It was incomparably strange.
"Senior, is this it?" Zhong Shan smiled.
The West Poison Sovereign touched it personally and sighed, "Yes, it is exactly the same as the girl's. Hahaha, I found the first one."
With a flip of his hand, he didn't ask for the owner's reaction and directly put it away.
The others were furious, but Zhong Shan was not anxious.
"Peerless City's Immortal Stele can be considered found. As long as Senior is willing, I can send people to search for the other steles and inform Senior," Zhong Shan said.
The West Poison Sovereign looked at Zhong Shan strangely.
"Little guy, you don't want to know what it is? You're just going to let me take it away?" The West Poison Sovereign asked doubtfully.
"So what if I know? I promised to give it to Senior, so I naturally won't pester you, "Zhong Shan said with a smile.
Zhong Shan was speaking the truth. If it was an ordinary treasure, Zhong Shan wouldn't be interested. If it was a super treasure, even if he didn't give it to the West Poison Sovereign, it would still be taken by the Grand Xuan King. Rather than getting nothing, he might as well make use of it.
Staring at Zhong Shan for a while, the West Poison Sovereign said, "Fine. Although I'm an unparalleled poison demon who kills without blinking an eye, I can still distinguish between gratitude and grudges. Moreover, you little guy have a temper with me. I'll allow you to use my name to scare those rascals."
"Okay, many thanks, Senior." Zhong Shan immediately said excitedly. It really went smoothly.
"No need to thank me. It's because of you that I found it so smoothly. I still need to find nine more, so I won't talk with you anymore." The West Poison Sovereign said.
"Senior, I'll send people to the Grand Havenlaw Dynasty to collect evidence and find the other Immortal Steles. How will I inform Senior?" Zhong Shan said.
Staring at Zhong Shan, the West Poison Sovereign still had an absurd feeling. Everything was going too smoothly. However, for the Immortal Steles, the West Poison Sovereign still said, "One year later, I'll come find you!"
"Good!" Zhong Shan nodded with satisfaction.
The West Poison Sovereign also nodded and flew away in a flash.
After the West Poison Sovereign flew away, Zhong Shan let out a long breath.
"Commander, why are you helping him?" Shui Wuhen frowned and asked.
"At the very least, our army won't have to worry about the West Poison Sovereign being an opponent in the future. An expert who can poison an entire city to death, even if we can't be friends, we can't be enemies." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Shui Wuhen immediately replied.
"Repair the main hall. Also, send all the information about the Immortal Steles to me." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Shui Wuhen replied.
Why are you helping the West Poison Sovereign? Zhong Shan's thoughts were far from that simple. Because through the West Poison Sovereign, Zhong Shan's vision had already reached an even deeper place. The Dragon Race!
He still remembered the little girl who was chased by the West Poison Sovereign to become his disciple. She rode a dragon and roamed around with a group of dragons escorting her. Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, Zhong Shan still remembered it in his heart.
Was the little girl that the West Poison Sovereign was talking about her?
To take in advance, one must first give! The meaning of this sentence was something that Zhong Shan had already understood long ago. That was why he made that compromise.
In the evening, the main hall was once again repaired.
Zhong Shan was inside the main hall, looking at the information in his hand regarding the Immortal Steles. After reading it, Zhong Shan took a deep breath and frowned.
"Mister, you called for me?" Ah Da walked in from outside the main hall.
"Yes, Ah Da, come and sit!" Zhong Shan said in an easy-going manner.
Ah Da sat down and asked: "Yes, Mister, why are you looking for me? Is it about the Immortal Steles?"
"Yes, I saw you wanting to talk about something before. Do you know about the Immortal Steles?" Zhong Shan looked at Ah Da and asked.
"Yes, it was a coincidence. Because of the princess, I just happened to know some things about the Immortal Steles. At that time, I wanted to talk about it, but Mister stopped me, so I didn't say anything. In fact, there are a total of seventy-two Immortal Steles in the world. "Ah Da thought about it and said.
"A total of seventy-two? Seventy-two Immortal Steles? "Zhong Shan looked at Ah Da and frowned. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
