“I agreed, so spit it out already!” Li Cheng said irritably.
“You’ve already piqued my curiosity. If you don’t finish, may lightning strike me!”
Feng Wanli glared at Li Cheng, “It’s all because you started it!”
Li Cheng shrugged and recited, “Lone lamp, single shadow, writing by the west window, suspense lingers on through the endless night; as Mingyue pierces through Feng Wanli, a scroll full of thoughts exudes the fragrance of ink.”
Feng Wanli slapped his thigh, his expression turning excited in an instant. “Don’t just get excited, talk about the matter at hand!” Li Cheng urged.
It took some time for Feng Wanli to suppress his excitement before he said, “Ten Thousand Evils Cave is just a very small reason. Think about it, even if they take action in the shadows, they wouldn’t dare to go to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to kill. They can only look for opportunities to kill those Transcendance Tribulation Stage experts when they are outside.”
Li Cheng nodded. It was obvious that going to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was akin to seeking their own doom.
“So I’m certain the main reason lies in the Immortal World!”
“In the Immortal World, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect has been in hiding for over ten thousand years, and coincidentally, in the Lower World, nobody from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect has ascended. Can this really be unconnected?”
Li Cheng nodded again and then said, “So, what you’re really saying is that you don’t know the main reason, you just have a speculation?”
Feng Wanli smiled awkwardly and nodded, “Yes, I’m afraid only the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Immortal World knows the reason.”
At this point, the food and drinks were served.
Li Cheng picked up a jug and turned his gaze outside the window, “The Old Ancestor from your sect, what rank does he hold within the Ten Thousand Evils Cave?”
“It’s unclear for now, but if we leave a Nascent Soul to search the soul, we’ll find out!”
Li Cheng still fixated on the window, said, “People from Ten Thousand Evils Cave have no distinct marks, so finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack; you are really lucky!”
“Oh?”
Feng Wanli also turned his gaze toward the window.
On the street, a beggar boy around fifteen or sixteen was quickly weaving through the crowd, his dirty clothes making people steer clear of him.
Despite his tattered clothes, the beggar boy had dark and profound eyes shining with a captivating light, not at all typical of a beggar.
In the distance on the street, two middle-aged men were walking calmly, seemingly just pedestrians.
Both Li Cheng and Feng Wanli could clearly sense that the two men’s Spiritual Sense was constantly targeting the boy, not giving him any chance to escape.
“We’ve been careless to let him slip into the city; now it won’t be easy to kill him. If we make a move in the city, it will surely draw the attention of the Taoist Mysterious Sect’s experts.”
“He can’t hide in the city forever. We have Time on our side, no need to rush.”
Watching the two men follow from a distance, Feng Wanli turned to Li Cheng, “These two are from Ten Thousand Evils Cave? It’s not obvious at all!”
Li Cheng nodded, “It’s not obvious, but I overheard their transmissions earlier, mentioning the Evil Master and the like. It seems that this so-called Evil Master ordered them to eradicate the boy.”
“With their cultivation at the Fusion Dao Stage, the boy is bound to die without someone to save him. Do you think he has a way to save himself?” Feng Wanli asked curiously.
Li Cheng took a sip of his drink, “He does!”
Feng Wanli looked doubtful, “Are you so sure? He’s only at the Foundation Establishment Stage!”
“There are countless cultivators in Kan City now, and the Hundred Sects Conference is about to begin. Him coming here means he must have thought of many ways to save himself,” Li Cheng explained.
Feng Wanli pondered and suddenly looked at Li Cheng, “Why do I suddenly feel that your entering the city has something to do with him?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the beggar boy had already run past the street in front of the window.
But suddenly, the boy stopped in his tracks, looking suspiciously towards the tavern, and his gaze finally settled on Li Cheng and Feng Wanli.
After a moment’s hesitation, the boy turned and ran into the tavern.
“Where did this little beggar come from? Hurry…” the waiter’s voice rose, and the next moment, it turned into surprise, “Oh my, distinguished guest, please come inside!”
Everyone saw that the little beggar had casually tossed a small piece of gold to the waiter.
Upon entering the restaurant, the youth walked straight towards Li Cheng and another, knelt down immediately, and started kowtowing, “I beg the two seniors for help!”
Feng Wanli looked at Li Cheng with amusement. He seemed to be saying, you mentioned he had plenty of ways to save himself, so he’s just randomly seeking help from others?
Li Cheng continued drinking on his own without paying attention to Feng Wanli.
Feng Wanli turned to the youth, “Young friend, we are not any seniors, we are just ordinary people, and you must have mistaken us for someone else!”
The youth said, “Junior is being chased by the people of Ten Thousand Evils Cave, and begs the two seniors to lend a hand!”
Feng Wanli pretended to panic, “Young friend, please don’t involve us mortals in the matters of you cultivators!”
The youth’s expression was resolute, “1 can sense that the two seniors are experts. The situation is urgent, please seniors…”
“No way, right? We’ve already concealed our auras. With his level of cultivation, he shouldn’t be able to sense anything!” Feng Wanli said, full of doubt, and looked at Li Cheng.
He suspected that Li Cheng had done something.
“Why are you looking at me? This is the territory of your Taoist Mysterious Sect,” Li Cheng said.
Feng Wanli looked at the youth, puzzled, “How could you sense it? It doesn’t make sense!”
“That’s their secret, why ask so many questions?” Li Cheng said with a smile.
“Can’t 1 be curious?”
As Feng Wanli spoke, he glanced at Li Cheng, then suddenly had a thought and cheerily said, “Young friend, would you like to join my Taoist Mysterious Sect?”
The youth was visibly startled and then pressed his forehead to the ground, “Please forgive this junior, 1 am Lei Yuan, and 1 plan to join the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.”
Feng Wanli looked towards Li Cheng again. Recently, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had been very prominent, and everyone was heading towards them.
Li Cheng continued to drink on his own, paying no attention to Feng Wanli.
“You agree and I will save you!” Feng Wanli said to Lei Yuan.
Lei Yuan frowned, “Senior, isn’t Ten Thousand Evils Cave the enemy of everyone under heaven? Senior taking action to eliminate the people of Ten Thousand Evils Cave is for the sake of the world, not just to save junior.”
Li Cheng laughed, “Old Feng, don’t make it hard for yourself, he has already decided on my Heavenly Mechanism Sect!”
Feng Wanli shrugged, “This kid is interesting. He wants me to take out the two from Ten Thousand Evils Cave and doesn’t owe me a favor.”
Despite saying that, Feng Wanli was clearly pleased because Li Cheng had called him ‘Old Feng’.”
That was a good sign of improving relations!
Indeed, he should have invited Li Cheng for a drink earlier.
Although the two had not yet clinked glasses.
“I beg the senior to take me as a disciple. I swear, once 1 join the sect, 1 will be loyal to my master for life!” Lei Yuan, still kneeling, turned towards Li Cheng and bowed deeply again.
Li Cheng smiled, while Feng Wanli’s eyes widened in astonishment, looking from Lei Yuan to Li Cheng.
“Just catching someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and you want to become a disciple? That’s too much. And what’s more, did you hear that? The kid didn’t talk about loyalty to the sect, but to the master!” Feng Wanli exclaimed, tongue clicking in amazement.
“Jealous, aren’t you?” Li Cheng teased.
Feng Wanli shrugged, “The Heavenly Mechanism Sect is in its prime, that’s normal. Taoist Mysterious Sect had such prestige in the past too.”
“But the kid is indeed clever, too bad you are about to ascend, heh heh.”
Li Cheng didn’t explain. Taking on a disciple this time was easier than he had expected.
Looking at Lei Yuan, Li Cheng said, “Your eyes, they are not ordinary. Is it the Innate Eye Technique?”
