Painting of the Nine Immortals - Chapter 169

Chapter 169: City of Yun Xiao

The Trade Convention has a regional office here. And these days, this office was preparing to host a large-scale auction.

At this moment, the sun was rising, and streets were bustling with people.

The man wore a black robe, his face hidden under a dome-shaped hat, exuding confidence.

The visitors were indeed Ling Xian and Lin Qing Yi.

A month was an incredible amount of time to be spent on traveling. Traveling portals were everywhere inside the Zhou Dynasty. But they were criminals on the run. Orders for their capture had been spread far and wide. They had no choice but to travel physically.

But fortunately, all of the bounty hunters they encountered were of mere foundational levels who posted no threat to Ling Xian’s authority. Victories were usually secured in under a dozen rounds.

The era 200,000 years ago when original level cultivators roamed the world was over. Today, they were a rare breed.

Twenty foundational level cultivators!

One could imagine how powerful Ling Xian had become.

They had been the pillars of the empire he was building. He had selected and nurtured every one of them. He trained them to become his trusted advisors who would ensure his ascend to the throne.

Therefore, Ling Xian and Lin Qing Yi had enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet. They could lower their guard and enjoy the sceneries along their journey.

For this reason, Ling Xian had decided that after he acquires the water from the Lake of the Healing Soul, he would risk exposure to travel back to the Capital via the spatial portal.

"Yes, we’ll find a place fi

rst. Tomorrow, the moment we get the water, we leave for the Capital via the portal." Ling Xian nodded. In his peripherals, he spotted a three-story building with a hotel sign. He smiled. "Oh good, no need to inquire."

A young man walked up to welcome them the moment they stepped inside. He bowed and asked politely, "Welcome, would you like to eat or stay overnight?"

The young man looked at them hesitantly for a moment and finally said, "Well..."

"Ah, this, well we only have one room left," The man said.

Lin Qing Yi paused, blushing, unsure of how to proceed. Fortunately, no one detected it as her face was safely hidden behind the veil.

Ling Xian hesitated too. Then asked, "How can that be? You don’t have anywhere else?"

"Oh, I see." Ling Xian suddenly remembered. He had felt the presence of more and more foundational level powers as he inched closer to the city. Of course, this was the reason.

"Well..." Ling Xian hesitated again and shifted his gaze toward Lin Qing Yi.

But he was about to be shocked.

Therefore, she didn’t protest. Rather, she let her silence speak for her.

"Ah, OK!"

But in the very moment, an unfriendly voice interrupted the scene.
"Slow it down. I’m taking this room. You two, get the f*ck out of here!"
