Mortal Seeking Immortal

Several Jindan stage cultivators knew that the city lord held the banquet to thank Ye Zhou, and they all wanted to make friends with Ye Zhou.

The cultivator surnamed Cheng saw what they were thinking, so he took the initiative to introduce the two sides.

After a simple greeting, the cultivator surnamed Cheng saw that Ye Zhou looked a little tired, so he led Ye Zhou to the third seat on the right side of the main seat, and the seat of the cultivator surnamed Cheng was arranged behind Ye Zhou.

After Ye Zhou sat down, several more cultivators walked in from outside the hall. The leader had an arrogant look, wearing a luxurious green shirt, and exuded a Jindan Daquan realm cultivation from head to toe.

When this person walked, a faint green spiritual light flashed on the green shirt from time to time. Ye Zhou saw that this green shirt was a Jindan top-grade magic weapon with extremely strong defensive power.

The several Jindan Daquan realm cultivators walking behind the green-shirted male cultivator all showed flattering expressions to the green-shirted male cultivator, and complimented him all the way.

At this time, a disdainful snort came into Ye Zhou's ears. Ye Zhou looked in the direction of the sound and saw a male cultivator in the late Jindan stage sitting in the corner, looking at the cultivators who were trying to please the male cultivator in green with contempt.

Ye Zhou had some impression of this person. When he came in just now, this person was the only cultivator sitting in the corner and did not take the initiative to come up to him to make friends.

The cultivator named Cheng who was sitting behind Ye Zhou saw this and took the initiative to introduce him to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, this person is called Shi Hu, a casual cultivator, who is eccentric, arrogant and noble. Not only does he have few friends in Xianliu City, he has also offended many cultivators."

"If he had not saved the life of the seriously injured city lord by chance, he would not be qualified to attend the banquet today."

After hearing this, Ye Zhou moved his eyes to the male cultivator in green and said to the cultivator named Cheng: "I guess this is the Jindan Great Perfection cultivator who is highly valued by the city lord."

The cultivator surnamed Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

"His name is Baili Yu, and he is an insect cultivator. Don't look at him as only having the great perfection of the Jindan realm, but because he has raised a lot of spirit insects, his strength is more than a little bit stronger than the ordinary Jindan great perfection cultivators."

"When he first came to Xianliu City, there were uninformed Jindan great perfection cultivators who fought with him and were killed by him."

When the cultivator surnamed Cheng said this, he seemed to remember something, and his face became a little ugly. He looked at Baili Yu with some fear in his eyes.

Then, the cultivator surnamed Cheng whispered to Ye Zhou, "Fellow Daoist Ye, this person is narrow-minded, cruel, and has the support of the city lord. It's best not to offend him easily in Xianliu City."

Ye Zhou felt a few weak breaths from this person, which seemed to be the breaths released by some spirit insects that this person carried with him.

Ye Zhou asked casually: "With his cultivation level and his status as an insect cultivator, no matter which city he goes to on Konghai Continent, he will be valued by some local forces. Why did he come to Xianliu City? Is there any reason?"

Cheng Xiu said: "It is said that he had offended a powerful sect on Konghai Continent and was forced to flee to Xianliu City for asylum. If he dared to leave Xianliu City, I am afraid that sect would immediately send people to hunt him down."

Ye Zhou heard this and nodded to show that he knew.

At this time, Baili Yu, who had already taken his seat, looked at Ye Zhou.

Baili Yu's seat was arranged opposite Ye Zhou, which was also the third seat below the main seat.

Because Ye Zhou put Xiaoyuan into the insect bag before attending the banquet, Baili Yu did not sense the breath of spiritual insects from Ye Zhou, thinking that Ye Zhou was just an ordinary mid-stage Jindan cultivator, and looked at Ye Zhou with contempt in his eyes.

In Baili Yu's opinion, Ye Zhou's strength did not deserve to be on an equal footing with him. The reason he could sit opposite him this time was nothing more than his meritorious service in escorting Miss Qi.

Therefore, Baili Yu's gaze only paused on Ye Zhou for a moment before moving away.

Not long after Baili Yu sat down, cultivators came in from outside the hall one after another, including two Yuanying Realm cultivators. As soon as the two entered the hall, most of the cultivators present stood up and bowed to the two.

Baili Yu, however, sat in his original position arrogantly, closing his eyes to rest, as if he did not take the two Yuanying Realm cultivators seriously.

One of the Yuanying Realm cultivators looked at Baili Yu with a cold look in his eyes, snorted lightly, and sat above Baili Yu.

Not long after the two Yuanying Realm cultivators arrived, all the cultivators who came to the banquet had arrived. After a while, the city lord and the female cultivator surnamed Qi arrived.

Ye Zhou noticed that behind the two city lords there was a man in black robes whose cultivation level was unknown.

The cultivator named Cheng hurriedly introduced to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, this is the confidant of the city lord, Qi Qi. This person's cultivation level is unfathomable. He once killed a late Nascent Soul insect king alone. I'm afraid no one in Xianliu City knows his true cultivation level except the city lord."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou's eyes stayed on Qi Qi for a few more breaths.

Being able to kill a late Nascent Soul insect king alone is enough to prove that this person's cultivation level is at least at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection Realm.

Qi Qi seemed to notice Ye Zhou's gaze and glanced at Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou felt that Qi Qi's eyes were extremely sharp, as if he wanted to see through him, so Ye Zhou quickly retracted his gaze.

Qi Qi's eyes paused on Ye Zhou for a breath before moving away.

All the cultivators stood up at this time and bowed to the city lord. The city lord and his two companions took their seats. The man in black robe sat in the first seat above Ye Zhou, and the female cultivator named Qi sat in the second seat, right next to Ye Zhou.

The female cultivator surnamed Qi took off the ghost mask on her face today, covered her face with purple gauze, and revealed a pair of breathtaking eyes.

Baili Yu, who was sitting opposite Ye Zhou, could not help but stay on the female cultivator surnamed Qi the moment he saw her. There was a hint of obsession in his eyes, but this hint of obsession was fleeting. The next moment, Baili Yu had returned to normal.

The city lord picked up the wine glass in front of him, looked at Ye Zhou and said: "This banquet is to thank Brother Ye for sending Rongyin back to Xianliu City safely. This glass is for you."

After that, the city lord drank the wine in the glass, and Ye Zhou also drank a glass of wine.

After putting down the wine glass, the city lord looked at the female cultivator surnamed Qi, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes, and said to the cultivators: "Second, to introduce my niece Qi Rongyin to everyone."

As soon as the city lord finished speaking, the cultivators present raised their glasses to welcome the female cultivator surnamed Qi.

Afterwards, the city lord introduced the two Yuanying Realm cultivators and Baili Yu, who was sitting below the Yuanying Realm cultivator, to the female cultivator surnamed Qi.

After the female cultivator surnamed Qi greeted them one by one, the banquet officially began. A team of dancers in bright clothes and bare feet filed into the hall from outside, and the melodious sound of stringed instruments rang out from the corner of the hall.
