The Six Immortals Chapter 205

Chapter 205 – Ying Song Hotel

(Mustang: Hey guys, we are starting with the Fifth Volume of the series. This volume has 32 chapters in total, and some of them may be quite long like the second volume. I’ll be splitting the longer chapters into two portions if need be.)

The five Quinyang Sect disciples reunited with Blue Dragon and then immediately set out.

Even though the Tong Cheng region was just adjacent to the Jiu Yu City, it was still almost a month’s journey from the Quinyang Mountains on foot.

The Tong Cheng region was rumored to be the secret residence for the last remaining Tong Tian Sect followers, and this news had already spread out through the entire world.

The Tong Tian Sect was an ancient Sect; and even though the Sect was never the most powerful in the world, it had still been powerful enough to attract a lot of attention in its time.

The rumor was that, most of its followers migrated as the Sect started to decline, while some stayed behind to pa.s.s on their heritage. Most of these were murdered by rivalling Sects and were rumored to have left behind several treasures.

The treasures of this ancient Sect weren’t expected to be worth a lot, but in case someone was able to locate these last remaining followers of the Tong Tian Sect, then they could get their hands on the secrets of this ancient Sect. Naturally, no one wanted to miss out on this opportunity.

Therefore, once this rumor started to spread from city to city, several youngsters started making their way towards the Tong Cheng region.

However, this sudden interest in the Tong Cheng region was mostly limited to the younger generation.

It was mandatory for a person to be under the age of fifty in order to join a following, therefore the older generation wasn’t much interested in this rumor.

w.a.n.g Zhong was sure that the rumor had a base in reality, which is why Bi Fan and his party were eager to reach the region, and was speeding their way towards their destination in a hurry.

Given the fact that the Tong Tian Sect was a powerful ancient Sect, the benefits of joining its following would be endless.

Obviously, Bi Fan and his friends were anxiously hoping that they could simply fly their way towards the Tong Cheng region.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t a possibility, and they were restricted to travel on foot, and could only use the divine essence seals to speed up their journey a bit.

Bi Fan and his friends weren’t really bothered about comforts on the way, and hence spent most of their nights camping out in the open.

The road obviously wasn’t very peaceful or secure given the barbaric mentality of the world, and several thieves tried to rob them since they looked young and naïve, and ended up dying at the hands of w.a.n.g Zhong and his companions as a result.

Bi Fan and his friends reached the boundary of the Jiu Yu City soon enough, and started approaching the Tong Cheng region immediately after.

The Jiu Yu City’s border was almost a thousand miles in perimeter, and this side of the border only had one hotel; the Ying Song Hotel. Everyone travelling back and forth between the Tong Cheng region and the Jiu Yu City would inevitably take shelter in this hotel for a night before proceeding further with their journey.

“We’ll spend the night in the Ying Song Hotel up ahead. We must get some good rest before entering the Tong Cheng region because I don’t think that we’ll see any sight of inhabitation for thousands of miles ahead.” w.a.n.g Zhong said.

“I’ve seen too much of these mountainous roads lately… I could definitely use some rest.” Jing Feng laughed.

“Well, then let’s spend the night in the hotel.”

Even though the Tong Cheng region and the Jiu Yu City’s perimeter were known to be riddled with thieves, the Ying Song hotel was considered a very safe place, which was an obvious indication of the hotel owner’s strength.

Bi Fan obviously understood this fact clearly, and had hence decided to stay clear of trouble for the time-being.

But unfortunately, they ran into a group of Wu Ji Sect disciples upon entering the hotel. This group of six Wu Ji Sect disciples was made up of Xuan Yuan Feng, Xuan Yuan Yun, Xuan Yuan Wu Ji, Xuan Ming Yang and two more disciples, who looked strong enough to be core disciples of the Sect.

To make matters worse, Bi Fan had killed the beast pets of several Wu Ji Sect disciples, including some of these youngsters’ during the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon contest.

“Ah, good! Who would have thought that we’d end up meeting the Quinyang Sect’s Bi Fan, Mo Nan, Jing Feng, Ji Ying Lan and the Eastern Aristocracy’s Blue Dragon in this far away land! It’s our genuine pleasure!” Xuan Yuan Feng laughed.

Even though his words had been courteous, but it was evident from his tone that he only meant to provoke them.

“Ah, it’s brother Xuan Yuan Feng, Brother Xuan Yuan Yun, Brother Xuan Yuan Wu Ji and Brother Xuan Ming Yang! And who are those two elder brothers of mine?” Jing Feng came forward and greeted them with a smile: “Meeting our brothers from the Wu Ji Sect in such a far-away place is surely a sign from the stars.”

Jing Feng’s hearty greeting and magnanimous att.i.tude instantly overwhelmed Xuan Yuan Feng’s hostility.

Bi Fan had already guessed that these six Wu Ji Sect disciples were also going into the Tong Cheng region in search of the Tong Tian Sect’s treasures.

As for those two unknown disciples of the Wu Ji Sect, Bi Fan could clearly tell that these two men had already broken into the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer since they seemed far stronger than Xuan Yuan Feng and the others.

“The six of you simply aren’t strong enough to go into the Tong Cheng region by yourself. You’re fools.” Xuan Yuan Feng sneered.

Bi Fan replied lightly: “We are going into the Tong Cheng region; but whether that’s foolish or not… only time will tell! We all belong to the same city, and I hope that our internal strife will not make a joke out of our City’s unison.”

“Don’t worry, we’re too lazy for that. Anyway, there will be plenty of other people in the Tong Cheng region who will sort you out in no time at all.” Xuan Yuan Feng answered back coldly.

Bi Fan had timely brought up the Jiu Yu City’s custom of uniting against the power of other cities in times of need.

This custom wasn’t just limited to the Jiu Yu City; in fact, most other cities had similar customs.

In case the internal strife of a City’s powers resulted in eliminating the City’s people from getting their hands on a treasure, then the City’s social norms would become the b.u.t.t of all jokes around the world.

Naturally, most of the weaker teams from the same city were uniting together to increase the threat of the challenge.

However, Xuan Yuan Feng and his friends didn’t consider Bi Fan’s party to be worthy of their partners.h.i.+p, and were obviously against collaborating with them.

The other two Wu Ji Sect disciples with them had been concentrating on drinking their wine, and hadn’t even raised their heads to look up at Bi Fan and his companions this entire time.

Although Bi Fan had managed to win the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon list, but he was still an outer disciple, which is why these two core disciples were confident of defeating him with ease.

These two men were completely at ease as a result since they didn’t consider Bi Fan and his friends to be a threat.

Not to mention, since Wu Ji Xuan wasn’t present in this company, Bi Fan and his friends weren’t very likely to run into trouble with them at the moment.

Everyone checked into their rooms first, and then proceeded to the dining hall for dinner.

The Ying Song hotel was packed to the limit since a lot of youngsters had decided to venture into the Tong Cheng region in search of the Tong Tian Sect’s last remnants.

Even though the Hotel had hundreds of rooms, Bi Fan’s six man team was only given two rooms despite them offering extra money.

Since they didn’t wish to sleep outside in the open, they reluctantly agreed.

Bi Fan’s team’s mood had turned sour after b.u.mping into the Wu Ji Sect team.

Therefore, the quickly finished their meal, and returned to their rooms to discuss matters.

It was important to note that neither the Quinyang Sect, nor the Wu Ji Sect’s name would be sufficient to save them from a testing ordeal in this region.

Strength was the supreme law, and that was the only way of surviving in the Tong Cheng region.

Bi Fan and his friends weren’t very strong as compared to some of the others, which is why they were planning on keeping a low-key status.

The Wu Ji Sect disciples were carrying the exact same idea.

“We’re really unlucky that those Wu Ji Sect guys have showed up to contest for the Tong Tian Sect’s treasures….. let alone so many other powerful people…….” Ji Ying Lan had been wringing his hands endlessly.

“It’s a good thing that we ran into them here. They won’t oppose us for the time being, and we could always use them to get forward!”

“Exactly. There is a lot of compet.i.tion for this treasure, and we could certainly use some help.” w.a.n.g Zhong laughed.

“The Wu Ji Sect guys aren’t stupid; they will also be afraid that we could cut them off at any point.” Mo Nan interjected.

“Don’t worry about that. It’s not going to be easy for anyone to win this treasure alone since so many powerful people have showed up to compete for it……. the Wu Ji sect maybe very powerful within the Jiu Yu City’s reach, but they’re nothing here.” Bi Fan smiled: “We can use their strength to eliminate some compet.i.tion from the other cities.”

“Ha ha… yes, that’s a really good idea!” Jing Feng laughed.
