Shangguan Xian nodded slightly.

The two walked towards the crowded front.

"This is the only time the Dragon City lord’s daughter is holding a martial competition for matchmaking, I wonder who will emerge as the winner.”

"I heard that the young generation of the Wang Family, Lu Family, and Zhuo Family have been eager to compete.

They’ve been preparing for a long time.”

"I remember, isn’t the Wang Family’s guy more than ten years older than the Dragon City lord’s daughter? Why is he still participating in the martial competition for matchmaking?”

"You don’t understand, do you? Maybe he has a chance, and who knows, perhaps she likes the mature type.”

Someone laughed, “To become the Dragon City lord’s son-in-law, imagine the status.”

"I heard the Princess Long has become a disciple of a Saint master.”

"That’s right, a Saint, the first one in Shenghai City.

From now on, Shenghai City is stable, no fear of water beast attacks.”

Someone said with relief, “For strategy, we have the Dragon City lord.

In terms of power, now there’s a Saint master in charge, fortunately, we all came to Shenghai City.

In my opinion, the surrounding cities will eventually face destruction.

But Shenghai City will only become stronger.”

Listening to the discussions around, shifting from the martial matchmaking to the rise and fall of Shenghai City.

These bystanders really care about national affairs.

It’s a pity that if water beasts really attack, when disaster strikes, they can only shrink back and escape for their lives.

……

"You go find out the situation,” Xu Zimei said, looking at Shangguan Xian.

"Why don’t you go find out yourself?” Shangguan Xian asked.

"You’re beautiful, if you go inquire, people are more willing to tell you,” Xu Zimei laughed.

"Seduction, understand.”

"That’s a bad joke,” Shangguan Xian rolled her eyes at him.

But she still went ahead to gather information.

After chatting with others for a while, Shangguan Xian came back.

She said, “The situation is quite simple.

The daughter of the Shenghai City lord is setting up a stage for a martial competition and matchmaking here today.

Almost everyone has come to watch.”

"A martial competition for matchmaking,” Xu Zimei showed little interest.

"What’s wrong? Don’t want to be someone’s son-in-law?” Shangguan Xian teased.

"By the way, there is a teleportation array in Shenghai City that can directly go to the Core Land of Lihuo Realm.”

Shangguan Xian suddenly said, “Because Shenghai City itself belongs to the Lihuo Realm.

So their teleportation array covers a wide range.

Basically, it can reach any place in the Lihuo Realm.”

"That makes it easy,” Xu Zimei said.

"Just don’t know how much Shenghai City knows about the current Lihuo Realm.”

"What do you want to do?” Shangguan Xian asked.

"Find the source of the Lihuo Realm water beasts, then everything is handled.

I just fear not finding the source.

No matter how many water beasts are killed, it’s pointless,” Xu Zimei explained.

As one of the Seven Domains, the Lihuo Realm.

Its range is too vast, if those fake Blue Persons hide, without special methods, it’s very difficult to find them.

This reminded Xu Zimei of the Tyrant Blade.

The opponent must have had ways to find the Blue Persons, otherwise, how did they catch those Blue Persons.

It’s a pity he’s already dead.

Xu Zimei decided he wanted to meet the Dragon City lord.

"Do you know how to meet the City Lord?” Xu Zimei asked.

"I’ve asked for you,” Shangguan Xian laughed.

"When the martial competition for matchmaking officially starts, the City Lord will personally appear for evaluation.

After all, to be his son-in-law, one must pass his assessment.”

"Then let’s find a place to sit,” Xu Zimei said.

"Let’s go to the Penglai Pavilion in front,” Shangguan Xian pointed to a pavilion not far away.

Replying, “It’s said that after the martial competition for matchmaking starts, the Dragon City lord and Sage Zixia will both go there.”

"Who did you say?” Xu Zimei was taken aback.

"The Dragon City lord,” Shangguan Xian replied.

"The Dragon City lord and who?” Xu Zimei asked again.

"Sage Zixia,” Shangguan Xian laughed.

"Forgot to tell you, Sage Zixia is the only Saint in Shenghai City.

He only came to Shenghai City recently.

Invited by the Dragon City lord, he might stay for a while.

Although Shenghai City is strong, the Dragon City lord’s power is after all limited, only the Great Emperor Realm.

Now that Sage Zixia has arrived, his reputation has soared, almost matching the Dragon City lord.”

Shangguan Xian laughed, “If they knew you too were a Saint.

They would likely be very glad to meet you.”

"Sage Zixia,” Xu Zimei smiled slightly.

"Indeed, destined ties will eventually meet.”

Back when leaving the Catastrophe Demon Domain, due to the instability of space-time teleportation, Xu Zimei, Sage Zixia, and Bright Moon Fairy were all sent to different places.

At that time, Sage Zixia and the other still said they wanted to follow Xu Zimei.

Unexpectedly, they would meet here.

"This meeting is getting more interesting,” Xu Zimei laughed.

"Why are you smiling so happily,” Shangguan Xian asked.

"It’s nothing,” Xu Zimei waved his hand.

The two walked towards the Penglai Pavilion.

Arriving under the Penglai Pavilion, they saw this place was filled with Immortal Qi, as if shrouded by celestial clouds.

In the human Immortal Realm lies Penglai, distant views reveal themselves.

The blue sea spread wide without illusion, outside the Dan Cliffs rises a terrace!

Outside the Penglai Pavilion stood a statue of eight Immortals.

These Immortals had varied expressions, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

The Penglai Pavilion was only sixteen stories high, each floor decorated differently. subtex./subtex

But when the two entered, they were stopped outside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today’s Penglai Pavilion is not open to just anyone,” the servant at the door smiled.

"Due to the martial competition for matchmaking, too many want to see the City Lord.

So we beg for your understanding, we had no choice but to set rules.”

At this moment, besides Xu Zimei and Shangguan Xian, many others wanting to enter Penglai Pavilion had gathered at the door.

"What are the rules? Tell us,” someone urged.

"There’s an Eight Immortals statue at the entrance, it symbolizes our Penglai Pavilion’s ancestors.”

The servant smiled, “Only those recognized by the Eight Immortals can enter Penglai Pavilion.”

"How can one be recognized?” someone asked.

"See the stone at the entrance?” the servant said.

"Place your hand on it, if the stone lights up, it means you’ve been recognized.

Otherwise, you’re not.”

Hearing this, immediately someone rushed forward.

It was a piece of white jade stone.

Its surface was smooth, seemingly perfect without a single blemish.

No cracks or scars.

When that person’s hand was placed onto it, there was no reaction.

"Next,” the servant said directly.

Some left dejectedly, over a dozen people, none received recognition.

Just as everyone thought the servant was fooling them.

Suddenly the white jade stone lit up, its surface glowing brightly.

The whole stone seemed like a lantern, emitting gentle light.

"This…,” some looked at each other in disbelief.

"You try,” Xu Zimei said.

Shangguan Xian nodded and immediately placed her hand on the stone.

A buzzing sound was heard, and the light grew even stronger.
