80: Misty Rain Tower

Misty Rain Tower, one of the five undisputed top powers of the Imperial Continent, was also an extremely unique existence. This was because it was not a Sect or a Family, but an organization for intelligence trading and assassination. It claimed that as long as one could afford the price, there was no information that could not be found and no person who could not be assassinated.

Even if the opponent was a powerhouse of the Great Emperor Realm, it was the same.

At first, everyone thought Misty Rain Tower was boasting, but later someone paid an extremely high price to ask Misty Rain Tower to assassinate a Great Emperor. At that time, that Great Emperor was extremely confident in his own strength; hearing this news, he dismissed it with disdain and continued with his business.

However... not long after, rumors spread of that Great Emperor's death and the dissipation of his Dao, and no one ever saw that Great Emperor again... Once this news came out, it shocked the entire Cangxuan Realm.

From then on, no one dared to question Misty Rain Tower's strength again.

Misty Rain Tower rose to fame because of this, and its business grew larger and larger, spreading across the five major domains with branches everywhere.

On this day, the mist and rain were hazy, and a light drizzle pattered outside the window.

A cold wind drifted through the window into the elegant pavilion.

A handsome Young Master dressed in a brocade robe looked somewhat weak and pale. The hazy drizzle fell onto his black hair, making it slightly damp.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The Young Master could not stop coughing.

"Young Master, it's a bit cold outside. You shouldn't stand by the window..."

Beside him, a tall, pretty maid in green clothes brought over a brazier with a look of concern.

The Young Master waved his hand and smiled, "No matter. A distinguished guest is visiting today; go and welcome him."

"Young Master, that guest is..."

"You'll know once you go."

"Mhm."

The green-clad maid was named Qingniao. She seemed long accustomed to this, as she responded and immediately walked out.

After Qingniao left, the Young Master sat before the brazier and stretched out his hands to warm them.

At this time, a plump maid in a red dress brought over a cup of hot tea. After the Young Master drank it, his pale face finally regained a bit of color. He smiled and said, "Sweet Potato, I've troubled you."

The maid named Sweet Potato's eyes turned red. "If it weren't for Young Master back then, Sweet Potato would have been withered bones in a grave long ago. To be able to be Young Master's maid is the blessing of three lifetimes for this slave. How could I feel troubled!"

Sweet Potato smiled, her starlit eyes still brimming with tears.

Such a peerless beauty would make even the startling looks of Chu Nansheng and Su Muhuang pale in comparison by thirty percent. No matter where she was placed, she would be the object of intense pursuit by countless young talents. However, in Misty Rain Tower, she was merely a personal maid of the Young Master.

And it was the kind of looking from afar, never profaning.

Although as long as the Young Master spoke, Sweet Potato would unhesitatingly loosen her silk skirt and serve the Young Master willingly, but... after so many years, the Young Master had never mentioned such an idea to her, and had never even had a single impure thought.

Sigh... a touch of melancholy inexplicably rose in Sweet Potato's heart.

Outside Misty Rain Tower.

A ripple appeared in the Law of Space, and then a middle-aged man in gray robes appeared out of thin air. His face was cold, and a short beard swayed slightly in the cold wind.

As soon as this person landed, he was slightly taken aback.

Because—

Standing before him was a tall woman in green clothes with her hands folded over her abdomen, seemingly waiting for him.

And this woman's aura... Middle Stage Supreme!

The middle-aged man's gaze instantly narrowed. This woman seemed to be just a maid, and she was so young... yet she was actually a Supreme Realm powerhouse? Mhm, Misty Rain Tower truly hides its strength; it seems they cannot be underestimated.

"Sect Master Li, my Young Master has been waiting for a long time."

Qingniao smiled faintly and made a gesture of 'please'.

Li Yudao, the Sect Master of the Taiyi Immortal Sect—most people in the Imperial Continent with any status had seen Li Yudao, not to mention an organization like Misty Rain Tower that specialized in intelligence and assassination. It was not surprising that they recognized Li Yudao.

On the contrary, Li Yudao had never seen this green-clad woman.

Forget this green-clad woman; he actually hadn't seen many of the high-level members of Misty Rain Tower.

The "Young Master" she mentioned should be the Tower Master of Misty Rain Tower, right?

"I trouble you, Fairy."

Li Yudao was very polite, restraining his arrogant posture as he followed the green-clad woman inside.

As for the green-clad woman waiting for him so early, Li Yudao was not overly surprised. Rumor had it that the Tower Master of Misty Rain Tower had unpredictable abilities and was far ahead of others in the Dao of Divination, even to the terrifying extent of being able to deduce the heavenly secrets of the Great Dao... What did it matter if he had predicted his arrival in advance?

..."Little Sheng-sheng, why didn't you kill all those people!"

"This Emperor is furious!"

On the way back to Wending Sect, the dog was still very indignant.

Earlier in the Secret Realm, it had been bullied so miserably by those people. It had finally waited for Chu Nansheng to arrive, only for her to let them go.

If it were according to its character, it would definitely have killed them all together to be clean.

"What do you know?"

Chu Nansheng explained, "The Imperial Continent is not like the Eastern Region. The foundations of many forces are extremely deep. Rashly making enemies of them would be extremely disadvantageous to Wending Sect. I am doing this for the long-term consideration of Wending Sect..."

"Humph! You're still so indecisive. Being bullied and not being able to kill back is truly unsatisfying!"

"When we get back to Wending Sect and see the Sect Master, don't talk nonsense!"

"What, can he actually kill this Emperor or something!"

"You...!"

Fairy Nansheng was almost infuriated to death by this stupid dog and simply stopped talking out of spite.

The dog was still prattling on, but no one was willing to pay attention to it anymore.

A long time later, they finally saw Wending Sect in the distance.

"Ah?!"

"Is this Wending Sect?"

For tens of thousands of miles, towering mountains rose one after another, with a magnificent palace standing on almost every high mountain.

In the sky, immortal islands floated.

Ethereal immortal music played, and clouds and mist swirled.

What a magnificent immortal scene. It didn't look like a mortal Sect at all. Even though the dog's footprints had once covered the five major domains, it had never seen such a grand and magnificent Sect. Coming here, it was like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time, having its eyes opened.

More importantly... the Spiritual Qi here was so dense it could almost drip into water. Even from this far away, it could feel the dense fluctuations of spiritual power in the air.

Just who could have created such an immortal residence!

"Heh, scared silly?"

Xiao Bufan teased, "And you still call yourself a Great Emperor? You haven't seen the world at all!"

"Let me tell you, this is a peerless Sect that Revered Master built in less than two hours using a Divine Ability!"

"How is it?"

"Impressive, isn't it?"

The dog was stunned.

Such heaven-defying means were truly unheard of and unseen!

But the immortal Sect was right before its eyes, leaving it no choice but to believe. It rarely didn't talk back and nodded repeatedly, "Impressive, impressive!"

"When we see the Sect Master later, you must say some good words for this wang. If this wang can join Wending Sect, I definitely won't forget you!"

"Humph, we'll see!"

Xiao Bufan curled his lip, but in fact, finally making the dog submit once made him feel incredibly good.

"Good brother, I'm begging you!"

"Call me Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

"Ah, ptooie, ptooie, ptooie!"

"..."
