As he saw that person wearing the Green Lotus Crown and the Crane Robe, with Celestial Stars embroidered on the clothing, holding a Seven-Star Leisure Fan, and a Purple Gold Gourd with a Jade Beak hanging at the waist, what a graceful Taoist.
Then looked at the name above that Taoist’s head—
Wentian Wuji (Qimen Immortal Master): Level 40. Life Value 880.
Xiao Jie was instantly shocked to see that person’s level, damn, Level 40 already!
It was his first time meeting Chen Tianwen in the game.
Though on second thought, when he first got acquainted, Wentian Wuji was already at Level 38, and so much time had passed, he himself had leveled his character from Level 1 to Level 35, so it’s normal for the other to level up twice by now.
What really surprised him was the other’s profession—Qimen Immortal Master; that should be a profession of the Fourth Transformation, right?
"Wen Tian, long time no see, how have you been?" Xiao Jie greeted warmly.
"Hehe, I’ve been well, sit down." Chen Tianwen said with a smile.
Xiao Jie sat down opposite Wentian Wuji, looking at his demeanor, realizing that every member of the Pantheon are indeed experts. In real life not feeling it that much, but in the game, Chen Tianwen, his equipment was clearly top-notch, and his profession level was of an extraordinary standard.
Xiao Jie, having gone through the battle of Luoxue Valley and having conflicts with the Pantheon, knew very well the impact a Fourth Transformation Magic System could have.
"So what exactly did you want to see me about?"
Wentian Wuji said calmly, "Remember we talked before about taking down Wang Xie and seizing the Unnamed Taoist Scripture together."
Xiao Jie said, "I remember, but it wasn’t the right time then. We can’t kill Wang Xie with just the two of us. We’d need to go with the guild to have a chance."
Soloing a Boss is actually possible, if it were a small Boss of Level 20 to 30, with Xiao Jie’s current strength, he truly had confidence to give it a try.
But Wang Xie is a Level 58 World Boss, probably stronger than Master Mingyue and Master Qingfeng.
Without enough allies (cannon fodder), Xiao Jie didn’t even entertain the idea.
Wentian Wuji smiled slightly, "I know, which is why I hadn’t pressed you about it before. But now the opportunity is imminent, so I came to ask you to come along."
Hearing this, Xiao Jie was momentarily stunned, "The opportunity is imminent? What opportunity?"
"I don’t know either, but today I felt something, calculated, and realized the Heavenly Mandate has quietly arrived. Our turning point is today, and if we wait a while, we’ll naturally find out."
Xiao Jie listened, stunned, thinking, you gotta be kidding me, can it really be ? Is it real, saying it so mystically.
He became interested, patiently waiting, wondering what this opportunity really was.
In less than ten minutes, they saw a State Governor Guard coming up the stairs with a series of knocks.
The Guard scanned the room and walked straight towards Xiao Jie, cupping his fists, "This brave hero, I greet you, by the order of Lord Governor, I’m here to invite you to the City Lord Mansion for a talk, please don’t refuse."
Xiao Jie was surprised, looking at Wentian Wuji, thinking, how did you know?
Could it be you truly have foreknowledge?
But foreknowledge in reality is one thing, does the game also have this feature?
How is this even realized?
But looking at Wentian Wuji’s profession—Qimen Immortal Master, isn’t this profession supposed to have skills like divination and fortune-telling?
"The State Governor invites me, naturally I dare not refuse, I’m coming, lead the way, brother."
"Please." The Guard said as he turned to leave.
Watching the Guard turn to walk out, Xiao Jie hurriedly followed, and of course, Chen Tianwen followed behind.
The Guard walked neither fast nor slow, if Xiao Jie stopped, he would also stop and wait.
As they walked, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Tianwen, you wouldn’t really be able to predict the future, have foreknowledge, would you?"
"Hehe, it’s not so mystical, just a little bit."
Even though he spoke modestly, Xiao Jie could hear the hidden pride in his tone.
"Is this a skill too? Can you calculate my future, whether I can become immortal?"
"It’s not that easy, the Heavenly Secret is hard to predict, the future is uncertain, my skill is a passive skill, only reminding me when something is about to happen."
Xiao Jie thought it a pity, otherwise, if you could predict fate, that would be incredible.
Avoid misfortune, turn disasters into blessings, that would be even stronger than normal combat magic.
The two followed the messenger to the City Lord Mansion, entering smoothly.
Upon entering the main hall of the City Lord Mansion, they saw it was filled with distinguished figures.
Looking around, they were all important figures.
There was the Lord Governor of Fengyin State, several generals of Xiaofeng City, the past Dragon Soaring of Dragon Soaring Country, Masters Qingfeng Mingyue, a few Daoists from some small Daoist Temples seemingly here to join the fun, and even Sword God Long Yuan, and the leader of the Heroic Alliance...
As the two walked in, the crowd was obviously arguing about something.
"That Long Wushang has many soldiers and strong military might, we shouldn’t move rashly."
"If we just sit and wait, that’s waiting for death."
"We might as well gather experts, invade Qiansong City, and kill Long Wushang. Once Long Wushang is dead, no matter how many soldiers he has, they couldn’t do much."
"It’s not so easy, it’s said that Long Wushang possesses the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, and his True Dragon Heavenly Profound Divine Skill has reached a transcendent state, how can he be easily subdued? Long Wushang has a multitude of experts and strange talents under him, it won’t be that simple to fight."
"I suggest a strategy of rest before labor and turning defense to offense, gathering our forces within Xiaofeng City, and after the Imperial Army is exhausted, we counterattack."
"Being so passive, if we’re defeated one by one, what then? Military tactics say, prolonged defense leads to loss; we must not be this passive."
This group of NPCs argued relentlessly, turning the whole hall into a marketplace.
Upon seeing the two walk in, Master Mingyue suddenly gave a light shout: "Silence!"
If there were people of high virtue and status here, it must have been Masters Qingfeng Mingyue.
"Lord Governor, Master, please have Hidden Moon Following Wind convey to everyone what he mentioned to me a few days ago."
So they were looking for me to report the intelligence, Xiao Jie realized.
He didn’t waste words and directly recounted the changes at the Demon Star Tower in Canglin State once again.
Everyone was in an uproar upon hearing this.
"What, someone actually dared to join forces with the demons of the Demon Star Tower, in open defiance of all propriety?"
"Just a few days ago, the Netherworld Army caused trouble, now the demons of the Demon Star Tower, what’s happening to the Land of Nine States?"
"What’s there to fear? Soldiers will counter, water will block. Whatever evil spirits come, we will kill them all."
"But the New Empire Army has tens of thousands of troops, claiming millions. How can we resist?"
Compared to the hundreds of thousands in the New Empire Army, which is said to number a million, the combined Three States’ army barely counts 30,000 to 50,000 men.
The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat heavy and oppressive.
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly spoke, and everyone was stunned. They saw Wentian Wuji slowly step forward, fanning himself lightly, cupping his hands in salute.
"I am Wentian Wuji, greetings to everyone."
