Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Esteemed cultivators ahead, may I inquire if you are from the Hanhai oceanic region?

I am Pei Zhenhao of the East Sea Sect. Is there any way I can assist you?”

Pei Zhenhao’s voice reached them even before his arrival.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were instantly alert.

A Nascent Soul cultivator from the East Sea Sect could be a good person to befriend, given the importance of the Mystic Color Stone and the Celestial Flight Crystal.

They couldn’t be sure if anyone in the Astral Origin cultivation world was aware of the true uses of these two items.

Revealing their purpose prematurely might invite unnecessary complications, especially considering the matter involved the repair of the Ascension Platform.

With these thoughts, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan quickly decided on their approach.

When Pei Zhenhao approached, the two of them immediately smiled and cupped their fists.

“So you’re a fellow Daoist from the East Sea Sect.

You’re right. We did cfrom the Haohai oceanic region.

“We just encountered a few bandits, so we took care of them.”

“I see.”

Pei Zhenhao nodded.

He didn’t pay much heed to their encounter with the bandits.

In the end, they were just ssmall fries.

What truly intrigued him were Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan themselves.

He suddenly realized that with his third -layer Nascent Soul cultivation, he couldn’t discern their real cultivation levels.

This indicated two possibilities: either their realm was far beyond his, or they possessed ssecret treasure concealing their true strength.

In any case, he couldn’t afford to underestimate them on his territory.

After a moment of thought, Pei Zhenhao said:

“May I know the names of the two fellow Daoists?”

“I am Jiang Chengxuan, and this is my Dao companion, Shen Ruyan.”

In the Astral Origin cultivation world, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan saw no need to hide their real names.

“So, you are Daoist Jiang and Daoist Shen.”

Pei Zhenhao’s face showed a slight smile.

“Since you have cfrom afar, are you perhaps here for the upcoming Dao Discussion Conference and the auction at Moonlight City?”

Hearing Pei Zhenhao mention this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan nodded in agreement.

“That’s right.

We suppose you, Daoist Pei, will also be attending, right?”

“Haha, naturally.”

Seeing that he already knew their intentions for coming here, Pei Zhenhao let down his guard a little.

He thought for a moment and then suggested.

“Since your goal is to attend the Dao Discussion Conference and the Moonlight City auction, why not rest in my Seafall City for a few days?

Then, we can travel together.

I wonder what the two of you think?”

Pei Zhenhao had thought it through. Instead of letting Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan wander around the city, he might as well invite them to the city.

If they had no hidden agenda, then all was well.

If they did, he was confident that within his city’s array, they wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were well aware of Pei Zhenhao’s cautiousness, but they didn’t mind it.

They understood that in their own territory, the sudden appearance of two strangers of the scultivation level would naturally make anyone instinctively alert.

This was understandable.

At this point, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not plan to be high-profile.

Staying with Pei Zhenhao, a local authority, was undoubtedly a good choice.

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and cupped his hands.

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Pei.”

As they spoke, Pei Zhenhao led Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan towards Seafall City.

However, as soon as the three entered Seafall City, an eighth level Golden Core male cultivator found Pei Zhenhao and reported with a worried expression, “Master, that person has started his actions in our city again.”

“What?”

Pei Zhenhao’s face turned grim upon hearing this. He asked with a somber tone, “Who is the target this time? Have we found any traces of the culprit?”

The male cultivator at the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm shook his head in shame.

“Not yet.

“In addition, his target this tis a vice pavilion master of the Artifact Storage Pavilion. He’s at the sixth level of the Golden Core and has already been killed.”

“B*stard!”

The words of the male cultivator at the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm immediately infuriated Pei Zhenhao.

“Let’s go. Bringto the Artifact Storage Pavilion now.

I refuse to believe that this person can cause so much trouble in my Seafall City without leaving any traces.”

As he spoke, Pei Zhenhao suddenly remembered something and turned to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan,

“My apologies to you both, but something has cup in Seafall City.

How about I arrange a place for you to rest for now? Once I’ve dealt with the situation, I’ll cback to converse properly with you both. How does that sound?”

Hearing Pei Zhenhao’s words, the male cultivator at the eighth level of the Golden Core was shocked.

He knew his Shifu’s temper very well.

Only cultivators on the slevel as him could make him treat them with such an attitude.

In other words, the two cultivators were actually Nascent Soul Perfected Lords.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other, and then Jiang Chengxuan replied,

“My wife and I have no objections to Fellow Daoist Pei’s arrangements.

However, if Fellow Daoist Pei doesn’t mind, why don’t you bring us along to take a look? We might be able to help.”

Of course, if it’s inconvenient for you, we’U stay at your residence.”

Pei Zhenhao was momentarily taken aback by Jiang Chengxuan’s offer, but he quickly realized the potential benefits.

Indeed.

These two individuals in front of him were Nascent Soul Perfected Lords like himself.

They might have sunknown trump cards in their hands.

They might actually be able to assist in resolving this knotty issue at hand.

Most importantly, Pei Zhenhao was a little worried about leaving two cultivators of the srealm in his residence.

If he could get them to go with him, he would be able to save himself from this worry.

At the thought of this, Pei Zhenhao finally squeezed out a smile. He looked at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and nodded.

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble the two of you.

To be honest, I’ve really encountered a rather troublesmatter in my Seafall City.”

He then shared the details of the situation with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

It turned out that recently, a demonic cultivator had appeared in Seafall City, targeting individuals in the city for his sinister deeds.

So far, including the recent victim from the Artifact Storage Pavilion, there had been five or six casualties.

What troubled Pei Zhenhao the most was the demonic cultivator’s adeptness at staying hidden and his keen intuition for danger.

Pei Zhenhao had attempted several ambushes, but the demonic cultivator always seemed to sense them beforehand, not only evading capture but also turning the tables by hunting down several decoys, leaving Pei Zhenhao, the city’s person in charge, in a difficult position.

Pei Zhenhao was considering reporting the matter to his sect, requesting assistance from other senior brothers and sisters to eliminate this threat from the city.

However, before he could act, the demonic cultivator struck again, assassinating a vice master of the Artifact Storage Pavilion within his own refining chamber.
