Immortals of the Mortal World Gather at the Inn!

Li Daoxuan's speed was not fast; he could be said to have only traveled a few dozen miles in a day.

On this day, Li Daoxuan arrived at a mortal city.

Li Daoxuan casually found a restaurant and prepared to eat something. Although cultivators could abstain from grains after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Li Daoxuan did not do so.

"Waiter, bring me a pot of wine and a dish of snacks to go with it."

"Waiter, a pot of wine, and a dish of snacks to go with it!"

Suddenly, Li Daoxuan turned around and met Qin Xiao's gaze, who was also turning around.

"Sect Master Li, what a coincidence! You're going to the secret realm too!"

Qin Xiao was the first to greet them.

Li Daoxuan didn't expect to meet Qin Xiao here, and it wasn't surprising that Qin Xiao had also gone to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.

Li Daoxuan walked over, his masked face looking at Qin Xiao, and said, "City Lord Qin, are you also preparing to go to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm this time?"

Qin Xiao walked over and sat down opposite Li Daoxuan, saying, "That's right. Look, Pavilion Master Li even used the false news of his seclusion to deceive us into coming to this Mountain and Sea Secret Realm."

Li Daoxuan was not angered by Qin Xiao's teasing. Instead, he said, "Lord Qin is joking. Although I am the head of a pavilion, my strength is still very low, so I must be careful!"

Qin Xiao laughed and said, "That's true. Although Jubaoge is an old and powerful organization, it has declined. What Pavilion Master Li did is actually the most correct thing to do!"

Qin Xiao had already learned the general information about Jubaoge from Qin Huang, which is why he did not underestimate Jubaoge. If he gave gifts before because of Qin Huang, then Qin Xiao's initiative to greet Li Daoxuan now truly placed Jubaoge and its leader Li Daoxuan in the industry of major powers.

Li Daoxuan didn't say anything, but simply picked up the wine that the waiter had just brought and poured a glass for himself and Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao wasn't angry when Li Daoxuan didn't reply, since they weren't familiar with each other yet. As for why Li Daoxuan didn't want to talk to Qin Xiao, it was because he was afraid of revealing his identity. After all, Li Daoxuan knew a bit about Qin Xiao's abilities.

"Waiter, bring a pot of tea!"

Just as the two were drinking in silence, Lin Wanru arrived.

"Is today an inauspicious day to go out? How did I end up running into two people I least want to see right now!"

Li Daoxuan looked at Lin Wanru coming up and secretly groaned in his heart.

Upon seeing Lin Wanru arrive, Qin Xiao stood up and exclaimed, "Sect Leader Lin, this!"

Lin Wanru looked in the direction from which the voice came from, and upon recognizing it as an acquaintance, walked over.

"Lord Qin, Pavilion Master Li!"

After Lin Wanru arrived, she greeted Qin Xiao and Li Daoxuan and then sat down.

Qin Xiao looked at Lin Wanru, thinking that she was probably going to the Mountain and River Secret Realm as well, but still asked, "Pavilion Master Lin, are you also going to the Mountain and River Secret Realm?"

Lin Wanru was somewhat surprised when she first saw Qin Xiao and Li Daoxuan, but she quickly recovered.

Lin Wanru nodded and said, "Yes, are City Lord Qin and Pavilion Master Li also like that?"

As for the news that the Pavilion Master of Jubaoge was in seclusion, Tianjige has already found out that it was the Deputy Pavilion Master Hou Chen who spread the news. After further analysis, it will become clear that Li Daoxuan was not in seclusion at all.

Lin Wanru looked at Li Daoxuan and asked, "Sect Master Li, why are you still wearing a mask when you drink?"

Lin Wanru was very curious about Li Daoxuan's appearance. She had sent some shadow guards from the Tianji Pavilion to investigate, but they couldn't find anything. This mysterious pavilion master seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and even the Tianji Pavilion couldn't find him!

Li Daoxuan, of course, had no intention of letting her see his face, and replied perfunctorily, "Sect Leader Lin, I had an accident during my cultivation, and my face was completely disfigured. Wearing a mask is only to cover my face and avoid frightening others!"

Lin Wanru didn't expect to see Li Daoxuan's face right away, so she changed the subject and said, "City Lord Qin, Pavilion Master Li, to be honest, the reason I went to the Mountain and River Secret Realm was because my family elders benefited from it. I wonder what this Mountain and River Secret Realm is about that could make those Mahayana experts so powerful!"

Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "Sect Master Lin, I don't know either. I came here because of my father."

Lin Wanru looked at Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan didn't say what the Mountain and River Secret Realm was about, but casually said, "I don't know either. I just know there's a secret realm here, and I thought I'd come and take a look!"

Qin Xiao and Lin Wanru nodded, unsure whether to believe it or not.

Li Daoxuan glanced at them and said, "City Lord Qin, Pavilion Master Lin, it's getting late, I'll be taking my leave now."

Li Daoxuan didn't wait for Qin Xiao and Lin Wanru to reply; he got up and left immediately after speaking.

Qin Xiao and Lin Wanru exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning. They stood up and followed Li Daoxuan's steps.

Qin Xiao also left one or two taels of gold on the table.

"Sect Leader Li, since we're all from Xuanwu City, let's go together."

Qin Xiao stepped forward and said after catching up with Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan didn't say anything. After all, if he did, the two would definitely find another excuse to continue following him. So he simply kept quiet. Li Daoxuan didn't want to waste his breath. He could just wait for an opportunity to escape.

The three flew towards the direction of the Mountain and River Secret Realm.

It was exceptionally quiet along the way.

Lin Wanru secretly transmitted her voice to Lin Shaohua, saying, "Uncle Lin, can you see through Li Xuan's disguise?"

Lin Shaohua looked at Li Daoxuan carefully, shook his head, and said, "I can't tell. His mask is a high-grade magic treasure for concealing his aura, and the black robe he wears is also a magic treasure of a similar grade to the mask. I really can't tell."

Lin Wanru sighed inwardly, then asked, "Uncle Lin, do you think Li Xuan might be Li Daoxuan? After all, they only differ by one character, and their disappearances seem to occur within a few years of each other. Uncle Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Shaohua also felt something was amiss, but he didn't draw a conclusion, only saying, "I'm not sure, but it's highly likely."

Lin Wanru said, "Okay, Uncle Lin, you should hide first to avoid being discovered!"

Lin Shaohua remained silent, while Lin Wanru looked ahead and continued flying.

Qin Xiao's situation was similar.

Qin Xiao secretly transmitted his voice to Commander Wu, saying, "Commander Wu, do you think Li Xuan is Li Daoxuan?"

Wu Qianhu transmitted his voice to Qin Xiao, saying, "I don't know. Even I can't recognize the magic weapon he possesses. However, I checked before coming here; Li Daoxuan is still in seclusion at his residence!"

"Yeah!"

Qin Xiao nodded noncommittally, without saying anything.

Li Daoxuan was also communicating with the old doctor.

Li Daoxuan probed the space with his divine sense and looked at the old doctor sitting opposite him, saying, "Senior, how should I get rid of those two?"

The old doctor glanced at it casually and said, "You can't escape. That Qin Xiao has a cultivator at the Earth Immortal Realm behind him. With him there, you can't escape."

Li Daoxuan asked again, "Isn't there any other way?"

The old doctor said, "Yes, it exists, but you can't use it yet!"

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Senior, are you referring to the Treasure Pagoda?"
