None of them were ordinary people. Plus, they weren't concealing themselves. How could they not know that someone was following them? Fu Dong turned left and right as he quickly walked to a relatively remote place with fewer people. He suddenly turned around to look at Yue Qianchou and asked somewhat helplessly, "Sect Master Yue, why are you following me?"
Yue Qianchou was also feeling gloomy. He could tell that the other party wanted to rid himself of the suspicion. He couldn't help but frown and say, "It's not that I don't want to let you go, but I've discovered that Sect Master Fu looks down on me. I wonder what I've done wrong to make Sect Master Fu avoid me and feel that it's beneath you to associate with me?"
"Sect Master Yue, why do you say that? When did I look down on you?" Fu Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Then why are you avoiding me?" Yue Qianchou looked Fu Dong up and down. Although he couldn't see through Fu Dong's cultivation, he had never even heard of Ling Jia Sect, so Fu Dong's cultivation couldn't be that high. He narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. "I, Yue Qianchou, am not someone who can be insulted by just anyone. If you don't give me a good explanation today, don't blame me for bringing experts to your Ling Jia Sect for a spar."
This was an undisguised and direct threat. Fu Dong was tongue-tied and speechless. His cultivation was about the same as the four Sect Leaders of the Four Islands of Lake and Light. He admitted that he was not Yue Qianchou's match. Besides, who else could be called experts in the World Commerce besides Yunpeng and Wei Chunqiu? If Yue Qianchou really brought people to their door, Lingjia Gate would probably be erased from the Immortal World.
"Sect Master Yue, please don't misunderstand. I don't have any intention of looking down on you. It's just that the grudge between your sect and Heartless Palace is too deep. My Lingjia Gate is weak and doesn't dare to attract Heartless Palace's attention!" Fu Dong cupped his hands and smiled bitterly. "Sect Master Yue, please be magnanimous and don't make things difficult for me."
So that's why! Yue Qianchou's brows raised. Now he finally understood why everyone avoided him like a snake or a scorpion the moment they heard his name. At the beginning, he thought that it was because of the battle at the Illusory Immortal City's Life and Death Mound that made him famous, but it turned out that everyone was still afraid of the Heartless Palace.
Yue Qianchou looked around at the bustling crowd. It seemed like as long as Heartless Palace was still powerful in the Immortal World, small sects like Fu Dong wouldn't dare to make friends with him. Other than those big sects that weren't afraid of Heartless Palace, the World Commerce Association was destined to be isolated.
Thinking that it was meaningless to make things difficult for Fu Dong, just as he was about to tell him to get lost, he saw that there was a back door guarded by two golden-robed men not far away from them. It just so happened that a few people showed their golden invitation cards and left through the back door unimpeded.
"Why did they leave through the back door?" Yue Qianchou asked.
Fu Dong looked in the direction he was looking at and replied, "I heard that the top fifty sects and top fifty commerce associations in the Immortal World all received Wu Xiong's invitation. Adding them together, they are the top hundred sects in the Immortal World. People like us, who didn't receive an invitation, can only drink a cup of wine in this simple house. As for those who received an invitation, they can enter the residence of the Immortal Palace's External Affairs Commander in the Paradise Immortal Realm and become a distinguished guest. "
"Invitation card?" Yue Qianchou took out the golden invitation card and handed it to Fu Dong. "Is this the invitation card you're talking about?"
Fu Dong opened the invitation card and looked at it speechlessly. He thought of the rumor that Yue Qianchou and Mu Tianjiao were friends and thought, "Why are you following me around even though you have an invitation card?" Fu Dong nodded speechlessly and returned the invitation card to him.
Yue Qianchou held the invitation card and patted it thoughtfully. Then, he cupped his hands at Fu Dong and said, "I'll take my leave first, lest I make things difficult for Sect Leader Fu. If you're not afraid of Heartless Palace finding trouble with you, Sect Leader Fu, why don't you come to my World Chamber of Commerce when you're free? I welcome you at any time. Farewell!"
With that said, he strode to the back door and showed the golden-robed guard the invitation in his hand. After asking for the direction of Wu Xiong's residence, he smoothly left through the back door. Watching him leave, Fu Dong heaved a sigh of relief. He thought, "I can't wait to hide from you, so why would I go to your World Chamber of Commerce …"
Holding the invitation card meant that Yue Qianchou had obtained the right to fly within the mountain range of the Immortal Land of Bliss. However, this did not mean that he could roam freely within the Immortal Land of Bliss. There were guards at a certain distance in the air, monitoring those who came to attend the banquet, all the way to Wu Xiong's residence.
Yue Qianchou had no choice but to obediently fly forward. Along the way, his eyes would light up every time he caught a glimpse of all sorts of rare immortal herbs appearing in the mountains and rivers below. They were slender and elegant, so alluring. However, these rare and precious immortal herbs seemed to have lost their value here, no different from wild grasses in the barren hills. Yue Qianchou saw with his own eyes a giant wild beast rolling on the ground, trampling an immortal herb worth several hundred million divine grade spirit stones into dregs, causing him to feel heartache.
Although it was an unintentional scene, Yue Qianchou was inwardly apprehensive. The things that sects in the Immortal World fought and killed each other for were things that the Immortal Palace did not even spare a glance for. One could see the Immortal Palace's wealth and strength at a glance.
'Curse that neighbor!' Initially, Yue Qianchou had prepared a stalk of immortal herb worth five hundred million divine grade spirit stones as a congratulatory gift, but now, he really couldn't bring himself to take it out. He couldn't possibly take out a stalk of wild grass as a congratulatory gift, right?
On top of a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, stood a majestic courtyard that resembled a crouching tiger and coiling dragon. Yue Qianchou descended outside the high walls. The main entrance was a gatehouse, and on top of the gatehouse was a large golden plaque with the words' External Affairs Grand Commander Manor 'engraved on it. There were golden-robed guards guarding the gatehouse from top to bottom.
Yue Qianchou took a quick glance around, and his pupils suddenly shrunk. His entire body froze on the spot. In the distance, there was a mountain peak hovering in the sky, and on top of the mountain peak was a majestic golden palace shrouded in resplendent golden light. The majestic palace was faintly discernible amidst the clouds and mist, exuding a dignified and solemn atmosphere.
At first, Yue Qianchou thought that it was an illusion created by the multicolored sunglow, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was true. The mountain floating in the air was actually the upper half of the mountain below. The entire mountain had been cut in half by someone. Half of it was on the ground, while the other half was inconceivably floating in the air. He truly had no idea how it was done.
Immortal Palace! This word suddenly popped up in Yue Qianchou's mind. He stood there silently for a moment, then slowly exhaled. In his heart, he was almost certain that the palace hovering in the air was the Immortal Palace. Because he couldn't think of any other palace that dared to stand above the entire Blissful Paradise! Looking around at the surrounding mountains, there were many that looked similar to the Wu Xiong Residence, but only that golden palace hovering in the air was the only one!
When Yue Qianchou's gaze slowly moved away, his gaze paused on the second peak beside the main peak. It was as if he saw a crystal palace, different from the other palaces on the surrounding mountains. However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Holding the golden invitation in his hand, he walked to the gatehouse. The guard opened the invitation and shouted, "The World Commerce Conference's guests have arrived!"
