Offering my divine power to break my karma

After a while, a group of dark-skinned men in shorts sat down at the two tables next door.

And a group of men dressed in robes and looking like businessmen.

Both groups ordered several jugs of wine. The group in shorts, like Ling, only ordered a plate of peanuts, while the group in long robes was much more generous and ordered several side dishes.

The two groups ate while chatting about the gossip they had recently received.

Although these gossips had nothing to do with what Zero was investigating now, Zero still listened with great interest.

Someone from the group of merchants in robes said:

"Have you heard? Have you heard? The legendary junior sister of the Beast Taming Sect and her relatives have come to our Nanhai City."

"Is this true? Is that junior sister really here?"

"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you?"

"Have you seen this junior sister? I heard that this junior sister Qingya is the most beautiful woman in the world of immortal cultivation and the white moonlight of all the male disciples of the Beast Taming Sect. Tsk, how beautiful must this most beautiful woman in the world of immortal cultivation be."

Let me tell you, some obscene men smacked their lips, with a bit of lust in their eyes.

Ling frowned and glanced coldly at the man with a wretched face.

The wretched man shrank his neck, feeling a little nervous for some reason.

"Tsk, your information is too outdated. Nowadays, the most beautiful woman in the world of immortal cultivation is no longer Fairy Qingya."

Hearing his companion's words, the wretched man's eyes lit up, and regardless of the discomfort in his heart, he asked curiously:

"Really? The title of the most beautiful woman in the world of immortal cultivation is no longer held by Fairy Qingya. How beautiful must this new most beautiful woman be?"

"She is more than beautiful. It is said that she looks like a goddess."

The companion spoke mysteriously, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

After hearing this, the wretched man couldn't help but gasp, widened his eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Is she really that beautiful?"

"Hehe, of course."

"Who is it? Tell me quickly."

The wretched man can't wait.

"That is of course the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation from Qingyun Sect, Murong Ling, Fairy Murong."

The companion replied proudly, his tone full of admiration and worship for the new number one beauty.

The wretched man showed a look of surprise when he heard this.

I didn’t expect that this new number one beauty would be so powerful. Not only does she have outstanding looks, but she is also a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator.

Murong Lingbenling at the next table: "?"

I almost spit out the drink I just drank.

I have never paid attention to the rankings of the most beautiful woman and the most handsome man in the world of immortal cultivation, and I really don't know about this.

Suddenly, Ling Jue learned from a stranger that she was now the most beautiful woman in the world of immortal cultivation. She was really caught off guard.

Fortunately, this group of people seemed to be concerned about their identities as Nascent Soul masters. After talking about their appearance for a few words, they changed the topic.

"During this time, you went to the City Lord's Mansion to deliver goods. Did you see the City Lord?"

"The city lord is very busy, so he doesn't have time to meet with us little people."

"But isn't this year's Sea God Conference about to be held? In previous years, the city lord would have already started to receive big businessmen from Nanhai City at this time, but this year, there is no movement at all."

"Maybe the city lord was delayed by something."

"Maybe so."

Having said that, the group did not continue the discussion but changed the topic.

……

Ling threw a peanut into his mouth, thinking about what this Poseidon Club was? Was it a special event in Nanhai City?

Even the city lord personally participates in this event every year. It seems that the Sea God Association is of great significance to the people of Nanhai City.

Just as Ling was thinking about who to ask about the Poseidon Society, he heard the youngest man in shorts at another table say:

"Brother, will the Sea God Conference be held this year?"

The man called Big Brother frowned and scolded in a low voice:

"Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I've told you so many times to be careful about what you say and do outside, but you've turned a deaf ear to it? Is it up to you and me to discuss whether the Sea God Conference can be held this year?"

The man called the Third Brother curled his lips and retorted with a somewhat dissatisfied tone:

"Master Fu Yue has ordered the closure of the seaports, and fishermen are not allowed to go out fishing. Where will the big fish needed by the Sea God Society come from? How can we hold the Sea God Society without big fish?"

After hearing what the third brother said, the eldest brother also fell silent.

Ever since the tsunami occurred a few months ago, Master Fu Yue, who had always been elusive, suddenly started to take charge. He even sent people to seal off the seaport and temporarily prohibited fishermen from going out to sea to fish.

At first, the fishermen thought that Master Fu Yue was afraid that a tsunami would occur again and was worried that they, the ordinary fishermen, would never return.

But a few months later, the sea was calm and there was no sign of another tsunami.

Fishermen make their living from the sea. As time goes by, there is no danger on the sea, but fishermen are still not allowed to go out to sea. The fishermen are very uneasy.

If it weren't for Master Fu Yue who sent a certain amount of money and food every month to maintain the fishermen's basic living, the fishermen would have probably made a fuss in front of the city lord long ago.

Now that the Sea God Meeting in Nanhai City is approaching, the fishermen are still unable to go out to sea to fish. Not only is the third brother worried that this year's Sea God Meeting cannot be held, the eldest brother is also worried.

After all, at this time of year in previous years, fishermen would have rushed out to sea to fish and offer the biggest fish they had caught to the God of the Sea.

"Ugh!"

Several men in shorts sighed at the same time.

Ling threw another peanut into his mouth, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

The tsunami a few months ago...

The city lord is missing...

Poseidon Society...

Prince Fuyue...

Fishermen are not allowed to go out to sea to fish...

Ling felt that he knew where to start investigating the city lord's disappearance.

After eating the last peanut on the plate and making sure that the group was not saying any useful information, Zero stood up, left the tavern and walked towards the beach.

As soon as Ling walked out of the East Gate of Nanhai City, someone came up to him, blinking his bright blue eyes.

"Sea girl, why have you become so ugly?"

Zero, who had just cast an illusion on himself: "..."

You are ugly, your whole family is ugly!

Removing the illusion from his body, Zero asked expressionlessly:

"Is there anything wrong, fellow Xingchen?"

Xingchen, who had no idea that he had offended people the moment he opened his mouth, said with a bright smile:

"nothing."

Before Ling could say "get out if it's okay", the other party added.

"I just want to play with you."

zero:"……"

"I have something else to do, Brother Xingchen, go find someone else to play with."

Zero polite refusal.

When Xingchen heard Ling say that something happened, he was visibly disappointed.

"Oh. Then."

Zero prepared a polite farewell.

"Then I'll follow you. You can do your own thing and don't worry about me."

Xingchen added the second half of the sentence with an innocent look on his face.

zero:? - _ - ?
