A red and black sedan chair, carried by eight bearers, was traveling along a small path in the woods, a hundred miles outside of Ziyang Prefecture.
The sedan chair was very spacious. Through the curtains, one could clearly see a young man in luxurious clothes sitting inside. He had a handsome face but a pale complexion, like a Young Master from a noble family who had indulged excessively.
"Where is Luo Yexian?"
The Demon-Calling Holy Child rotated the thumb ring on his index finger.
"He sent word just now, saying he's already waiting in Ziyang Prefecture."
A voice drifted from the Void Realm, audible only to the Demon-Calling Holy Child.
This was a more sophisticated method than sound transmission.
"Hmph, if he weren't My Little Uncle, if it weren't for the fact that we need people right now..."
The Demon-Calling Holy Child snorted coldly, appearing to be in a bad mood.
The more he thought about it during this period, the more he felt that this so-called Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect was suspicious.
Because he had sent people to the Southern Border to investigate.
The villages that had previously provided the power of sentient beings for them to harvest were now digging mountains, excavating rivers, and building roads, all claiming it was offerings to the Heavenly Venerable Immortal.
What true powerful individual would need such useless offerings?
However, he was only suspicious.
Coincidentally, one of the three Ancestral Gods of the Demon Summoning Sect, the Dream God, had revived, leading them to some clues. It seemed they had found the Dream God's Immortal Cave, which very likely contained extremely important items.
Unfortunately, they still couldn't enter.
This was a good opportunity to test the so-called 'Heavenly Venerable's Beloved Disciple'.
"Greetings, Sacred Son Nephew."
Before long, they were getting closer to Ziyang Prefecture. On the small path ahead, Luo Yexian, dressed as a merchant, came forward to salute.
"Why aren't you taking the main road, in such a remote alley?"
The Demon-Calling Holy Child felt a surge of anger when he saw My Little Uncle.
"Replying to Sacred Son Nephew, we are a demonic sect. Taking the official road would be a bit too open and aboveboard."
Luo Yexian's face was full of deep thought, and he spoke earnestly:
"We bear important responsibilities for the sect, so it's better to be careful." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"......."
The Demon-Calling Holy Child's eyelids twitched.
You're dressed as a merchant, and you're not taking the main road, but a remote alley. Is that really reasonable?
However, he was too lazy to waste more words with Luo Yexian and got straight to the point:
"Did that Immortal you mentioned agree?"
"Yes, the Immortal said we'd meet tonight."
Luo Yexian nodded, then seemed a bit puzzled:
"But why let the Immortal set the time, and we set the place?"
"Letting him set the time is to show respect. We set the place to prevent the other party from making arrangements. Perhaps last time, you went to a place carefully arranged by them, which is why you fell into their trap."
The Demon-Calling Holy Child narrowed his eyes.
"Ah? How is that possible? How could the Immortal deceive me...?"
"Hmph, having been in the Southern Border for so long, have you truly become someone who sees only a small part of the world? The Major Thousand Worlds hold countless wonders. People from the Yin Yang Hall can even turn men into women and women into men. People from the Yellow Millet Hall can even kill in dreams. How could it be impossible for them to deceive you with special methods? There's nothing impossible in this world!"
"You'll know when you meet the Immortal."
Luo Yexian shook his head, still believing in the 'Immortal' in his heart.
After all, the Immortal was his future, his great merit, his hope for a smooth ascent and a Breakthrough to the Law Body.
How could he doubt his own hope?
"What place did you choose for the meeting?"
The Demon-Calling Holy Child was too lazy to say more to him.
"Happy Lamb Hot Pot Restaurant."
"?"
"This hot pot restaurant is famous far and wide, and it's been open for a while now, so it's absolutely impossible for it to have any connection with the other party. Plus, it's crowded and bustling, very suitable for doing something shady."
Luo Yexian swallowed his saliva.
The Demon-Calling Holy Child felt that Luo Yexian's reason for choosing that place was likely because he wanted to eat hot pot since winter had arrived.
But he had no evidence.

"Waiter, a spicy hot pot, extra spicy, and five plates of mutton."
"Cust... Customer, our portions... our portions are very generous."
"It's fine, martial artists have big appetites."
"Alright..."
Jiang Chulong finished taking the order for this customer, then turned to leave, but poked her head back in for another look.
A young man with an immortal aura sat at the table, wearing only a green robe on a cold day, drinking by himself.
Xiao Jiang felt this figure was somewhat familiar.
She tilted her head and went to the kitchen.
Unbeknownst to her, the young man's gaze only turned to her back as she turned away.
"Chu Long has grown quite a bit. She should get some new clothes."
"Oh, and I need to prepare some red envelopes for New Year's money..."
Li Mo had already arrived in Ziyang Prefecture at noon today.
He had scheduled to meet the Demon Summoning Sect in the evening, as he could only use "Communal Moon" at night to exchange information with Ice Cube. Having Han Xianzi as a backup was naturally better.
The location was to be decided by the other party, and he hadn't received a reply yet.
Li Mo simply came to the hot pot restaurant first to sit and see Chu Long and the little sprouts from Nijiao Alley.
Unfortunately, he was currently using the Faceless Glazed Mask. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be better to wait until the matter was resolved before resuming his role as the hot pot restaurant [N O V E L I G H T] owner...
"What place will Luo Yexian choose?"
Li Mo was swirling mutton in the hot pot, looking out the window as the sky gradually darkened.
Not long after.
The beast token vibrated slightly again, bringing new information:
"Happy Lamb Hot Pot Restaurant, awaiting your arrival."
"?"
Downstairs at the hot pot restaurant.
The Demon-Calling Holy Child, Luo Yexian, and a group of cultists disguised as merchants, braved the wind and snow.
"It smells so good, almost as good as the barbecue in the Southern Border, it's intoxicating."
Luo Yexian smacked his lips.
"My Grand-Nephew, have you ever eaten barbecue? The Southern Border specialty kind, tsk tsk, that taste..."
"Are we here to eat? Aren't you going to send the message?"
The Demon-Calling Holy Child clenched his fist, resisting the urge to punch him.
So, Luo Yexian shrunk his neck and reached for the token.
But before he could send the message, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Grand-Nephew..."
"Outside, you should call me... never mind. What is it? Has he arrived?"
"The Immortal said he arrived early and told us to go upstairs."
"!!?"
The Demon-Calling Holy Child's expression stiffened slightly, and his breathing paused for a moment.
Arrived, early?
But they were clearly the ones who set the location!
They had just stepped into the hot pot restaurant and sent a message to the other party, but the other party had arrived even earlier than them?
What did this indicate?
It indicated that the other party already knew that they would set the meeting place here!!
"Was there any outsider tracking us along the way?"
"Replying to Saint, both I and the Impermanence Law King did not detect anyone monitoring our movements."
Yes, if there were any tails, the two Law Kings would have already told him.
The Demon-Calling Holy Child's heart involuntarily became a few shades heavier.
To be able to go unnoticed by a cultivator of the Sixth Realm, regardless of the method, indicated that the other party's means were unfathomable!
"It's normal. At that time, the Immortal saw through me playing mahjong... *cough*."
Luo Yexian smiled, seeing on the Saint's face the same shocked expression he had when his secrets were seen through.
The Demon-Calling Holy Child didn't even look at him, taking a deep breath.
The other party arriving early and using unfathomable means to blatantly inform them, the meaning was already clear.
What a show of dominance!
This was definitely a show of dominance!!
"Let's go up and meet him. I want to see just who this divine being is!"
