Chapter 346
Just then, one of the ancestral gods of the sect, the Dream God, awakened, leading them to some clues. It seemed they had found the Dream God’s cave, which likely concealed something of great importance.
Unfortunately, they still couldn’t get inside.
This was just the right opportunity to test the so-called "Heavenly Lord's favored disciple."
“Greetings, Holy Son’s nephew.”
Before long, they were getting closer to Ziyang Mansion. On the small path ahead, Luo Yexian, dressed as a merchant, approached and bowed.
“Why aren’t you taking the main road? Why are we in this back alley?”
The Holy Son of Demons felt a bit irritated upon seeing his uncle.
“Returning to the Holy Son’s nephew, we are from the Demon Sect. If we took the official road, it would be too conspicuous.”
Luo Yexian wore a thoughtful expression, speaking earnestly:
“We bear heavy responsibilities in the sect; it’s better to be cautious.”
“.......”
The Holy Son of Demons raised an eyebrow.
Dressed as a merchant, avoiding the main road for this back alley—does that really make sense?
However, he didn’t want to waste more words with Luo Yexian and got straight to the point:
“Did the immortal you mentioned agree?”
“He agreed. The immortal said to meet tonight.”
Luo Yexian nodded but looked puzzled:
“Why let the immortal set the time? Shouldn’t we choose the place?”
“Letting him set the time shows respect. Choosing the place is to prevent him from making arrangements. Perhaps last time, you ended up in a carefully prepared trap.”
The Holy Son of Demons squinted.
“Ah? How could that be? The immortal wouldn’t deceive me…”
“Hmph, after spending so long in the Southern Wilderness, have you really become a frog in a well? The world is full of wonders. The people from the Yin-Yang Hall can even change men into women and women into men. The Huangliang Hall can kill in dreams and deceive you with special methods. Anything is possible in this world!”
“You’ll understand once you meet the immortal.”
Luo Yexian shook his head, still believing in his ‘immortal.’
After all, the immortal represented his future, his great achievement, and his hope for breaking through the Law Body.
How could he doubt his own hope?
“What place did you choose for the meeting?”
The Holy Son of Demons was too lazy to engage further.
“Xiyangyang Hotpot Restaurant.”
“?”
“This hotpot restaurant is famous and has been around for a while. It definitely has no connection to the other party, and with so many people around, it’s perfect for doing some business.”
Luo Yexian swallowed hard.
The Holy Son of Demons thought Luo Yexian’s reasoning for choosing that place was likely because it was winter and he wanted hotpot.
But he had no evidence.
.....
Xiyangyang Hotpot Restaurant.
“Waiter, bring me a spicy hotpot, extra spicy, and five plates of lamb.”
“Sir... we have generous portions.”
“No problem, martial artists have big appetites.”
“Alright then…”
Jiang Chulong finished placing the order for this customer and turned to leave, but then peeked back in.
At the table sat a young man with an ethereal demeanor, wearing only a light blue robe on this cold day, drinking alone.
Princess Jiang felt that this figure looked somewhat familiar.
She tilted her head and went to the kitchen.
Unbeknownst to her, the young man’s gaze turned to her back as she walked away.
“Chulong has grown quite a bit; she should get a few new outfits.”
“Right, and I need to prepare some red envelopes for New Year’s money…”
Li Mo had already arrived at Ziyang Mansion by noon.
He had arranged to meet with the Holy Son of Demons at night, as only then could he use the “Gong Chan Juan” to communicate with Bing Tuozi. Having the support of the Cold Fairy would be even better.
The location was to be decided by the other party, and he had yet to receive a reply.
Li Mo decided to sit in the hotpot restaurant for a while, to see Chulong and the little ones from Niao Jiao Alley.
Unfortunately, he had used the Wuxiang Liuli Mask, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, he would wait until the matter was settled before returning to being the hotpot restaurant owner…
“What kind of place would Luo Yexian choose?”
Li Mo dipped the lamb into the pot, gazing out the window as the sky gradually darkened.
Before long, the Beast Token vibrated slightly, bringing new news:
“Xiyangyang Hotpot Restaurant awaits your esteemed presence.”
“?”

Downstairs at the hotpot restaurant.
The Holy Son of Demons, Luo Yexian, and a group of disciples dressed as merchants burst through the snowstorm.
“Smells amazing! It’s almost as good as the barbecue from the Southern Wilderness, it’s mouthwatering.”
Luo Yexian smacked his lips.
“Have you ever had barbecue, my dear nephew? The Southern Wilderness specialty, oh, the flavor…”
“Are we here to eat or to send a message?”
The Holy Son of Demons clenched his fist, suppressing the urge to punch him.
Thus, Luo Yexian shrank his neck and reached for the token.
But before he could send the message, his eyes widened in shock.
“My dear nephew…”
“Outsiders should be addressed as… never mind, what’s the matter? Has that person arrived?”
“The immortal said he arrived early and asked us to go upstairs.”
“!!?”
The Holy Son of Demons’ expression stiffened, his breath catching for a moment.
He arrived… early?
But they had clearly chosen the location!
They had just stepped into the hotpot restaurant and sent the message, yet the other party had arrived even earlier?
What did this imply?
It meant the other party had known all along that they would choose this place for their meeting!
“Did anyone follow you on the way?”
“Returning to the Holy Son, neither I nor King Wuchang noticed anyone tailing us.”
That made sense; if there had been a tail, the two kings would have informed him long ago.
The Holy Son of Demons felt a weight in his heart.
To make a Sixth Realm expert unaware of their presence, no matter how it was done, indicated that the other party’s methods were unfathomable!
“It’s quite normal. The immortal saw right through my mahjong skills… cough.”
Luo Yexian chuckled, recalling the shocked expression on the Holy Son’s face when he was seen through.
The Holy Son of Demons didn’t even look at him, taking a deep breath.
The other party had arrived early and openly revealed their mysterious methods; the implications were clear.
What a show of strength!
This was definitely a show of strength!!
“Let’s go up and see. I want to know who this person really is!”
.....
P.S.: Have you all had mooncakes? I flaunted all the delicious ones from a box of mooncakes and gave away the rest. Hehe.
Please support with some love, mwah!
