Immortals of the Mortal World Gather at the Inn!

Soon, with the arrival of many forces from Xuanwu City, the entire Jubao Pavilion became lively. Of course, if you ignored the forced smiles on the faces of the representatives of those forces, everything would have been wonderful!

"Sect Master! Our Treasure Pavilion has really struck it rich this time! We can now say that we've begun to catch the eye of the major powers in Xuanwu City!"

Hou Chen excitedly said to Li Daoxuan!

Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Senior Hou, this is only the first step for my Jubao Pavilion."

Hou Chen thought for a moment and said, "Sect Master, please don't call me 'Senior' anymore. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Hou!"

Li Daoxuan agreed, and said, "Alright, Uncle Hou!"

"Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master, the distinguished guests have all arrived."

Just as Li Daoxuan and Hou Chen were chatting and laughing, enjoying the future, the manager of Jubaoge knocked on the door to report for duty!

"Alright, you can go now."

Hou Chen said something.

"yes!"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper went down to appease the representatives of all parties!

inside the room.

Hou Chen looked at Li Daoxuan and asked, "Sect Leader, should we give them a moment's rest?"

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need. Although our Jubao Pavilion has existed for a long time, it has been in decline for quite some time. Now we can be said to be a new force standing on the stage of this world, so we should still give them the respect they deserve!"

Hou Chen thought for a moment and agreed, saying, "Yes, Pavilion Master. I can give you face, but my Treasure Pavilion is a senior establishment. Pavilion Master, I'll go first, and you can come down when the time is right!"

Li Daoxuan pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't consider the reputation of Jubaoge. Let's do as Uncle Hou says!"

Seeing that Li Daoxuan had misunderstood, Hou Chen quickly said, "Sect Master, I didn't mean you..."

"Uncle Hou, I understand what you mean. Alright, you go first, and I'll go when the time is right!"

Li Daoxuan interrupted Hou Chen, realizing that Hou Chen had also misunderstood him.

"yes!"

Hou Chen bowed respectfully and then left.

"Wait, what's going on at Jubao Pavilion? We've come, we've given gifts, why are we being made to wait here?"

"Yes, we wouldn't have come if it weren't for the City Lord's Mansion and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!"

"That's right, that's right, if you don't come soon, we're leaving!"

"Hey, you lot, behave yourselves! Didn't you see that Pavilion Master Lin and City Lord Qin of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion haven't said anything?"

"No, you..."

"I am Hou Chen, the Vice Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion!"

Just as everyone was about to begin.

Hou Chen came down from upstairs.

"Buzz~"

Just as Hou Chen stepped down the last step, the aura of a peak Mahayana cultivator was suddenly released.

It happened in the blink of an eye, but it shocked all the forces, including Lin Wanru of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and Qin Xiao of the City Lord's Mansion.

It's important to know that a core city can have a dozen or even twenty late-stage Mahayana cultivators, but if we're talking about peak Mahayana cultivators, having four or five is already considered impressive.

"I never expected that the Treasure Pavilion would have such a powerful expert!"

"Thank goodness I still made it!"

This is what everyone is thinking.

Hou Chen didn't say anything, he withdrew his aura, walked to the secondary seat next to the main seat, and quietly waited for Li Daoxuan's arrival.

Hou Chen's approach was to first intimidate the various forces with his dog-eye-viewing mentality, and then wait for Li Daoxuan to appear before laughing and joking with them.

This is a classic case of one person playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop!

As Hou Chen had predicted, the representatives of various forces who had been clamoring to go back immediately fell silent.

"I never imagined that the Treasure Pavilion would be hiding such a powerful figure! I'm becoming increasingly curious about that mysterious Pavilion Master!"

In the seats of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Lin Wanru looked at the empty main seat with great interest, becoming increasingly curious about what kind of person could make such a powerful figure submit and willingly become the deputy pavilion master!

"Commander Su, what do you think of this Deputy Pavilion Master?"

Sitting in the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Xiao looked at Su Lie beside him and asked!

Su Lie naturally understood what Qin Xiao was referring to. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Compared to Wen Feng back then, I believe this Deputy Pavilion Master is far more powerful!"

"Um!"

After Qin Xiaoqing hummed in agreement, she wasn't angry that Hou Chen hadn't helped her back then. After all, what did the destruction of Xuanwu City have to do with her Jubao Pavilion? Everyone is selfish; the only difference is what they are selfish about!

After waiting a moment, Qin Xiao, the city lord, noticed the awkward atmosphere and asked first, "Sect Master Hou, when will you arrive?"

Hou Chen still had a good impression of Qin Xiao, who was both a prince and the city lord.

Hou Chen said, "The Pavilion Master has just gained some insight; please wait a moment, City Lord and everyone else!"

Qin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Haha, it's alright. We cultivators can gain insights into our cultivation, so it's understandable that we can't arrive on time!"

Those in the audience who had been secretly plotting to cause trouble dared not say anything after Qin Xiao spoke up!

Time passed in this strange atmosphere.

Just as everyone was growing impatient again, the shopkeeper called out:

"Li Xuan, the Pavilion Master of Jubaoge, has arrived!"

Everyone immediately looked over.

Then a young man, about 1.85 meters tall, wearing a black, top-grade Heavenly Rank defensive robe and a Shura mask, walked downstairs, followed the passageway in the middle to the main seat, and sat down.

Li Daoxuan addressed the crowd below, saying, "I am Li Xuan, the new head of the Treasure Pavilion. I have gained some insights into cultivation, and I am late. I hope you will understand!"

Powerful – that was the first impression many forces had of Li Daoxuan.

One of the representatives from a second-tier power, under the watchful eye of a representative from a first-tier power, asked, "I wonder if Pavilion Master Li has heard of the prodigy at the late Nascent Soul stage who appeared in the demon race's dueling arena and utterly defeated all the demon race's prodigies in the Nascent Soul stage, preventing them from even showing their faces!"

Li Daoxuan made no attempt to hide anything, as he wouldn't pass up an opportunity to increase the Jubao Pavilion's reputation. He said, "That is indeed me. I unfortunately wandered into the demon race's territory by mistake. Later, I saw the demon race's dueling arena and thought I'd go and see my own strength. I didn't expect the demon race's prodigies to be so weak!"

After hearing the desired result, the representative of the second-rate power looked at the representative of the first-rate power next to him. Finding that no one was looking at him, he sat down again.

At this moment, a representative of a first-rate power looked at Li Daoxuan and asked, "Sect Leader Li, may I remove your mask to see your true face?"

Li Daoxuan shook his head. He had only worn the mask because he didn't want to reveal his identity. How could it be revealed because of one sentence from you?

At that moment, Li Daoxuan casually said, "I encountered a mishap in my cultivation, and my face was disfigured, so I can't show my face!"

Even that top-tier power didn't think they could see Li Daoxuan's true face just from such a sentence; they asked the question only with a try-it-out attitude!

Just then, another veteran first-rate power in Xuanwu City looked at Li Daoxuan with ill intent and questioned him:

"Then may I ask, Pavilion Master Li, since your esteemed pavilion possesses a peak Mahayana level expert, why did you not intervene when the demon race attacked?"
