Chapter 186

Three Marquises of Jundu

Dong dong!

A soft knocking sound slowly sounded. Zhuowen, who was in the room, frowned slightly. With a thought, the two golden lights floating in front of him entered between his eyebrows with a 'swoosh' sound.

Xiao Hei pursed her lips and followed the golden light into Zhuowen's glabella.

"Who is it?" Zhuowen replied indifferently.

"I am Liu Tao. I am here to inform Young Master that Master Kuraki has invited you to the Trading Club. I heard that he has something important to discuss with you." A respectful voice slowly came from outside the door.

Zhuowen was startled. He did not expect Grandmaster Kuraki to invite him. Perhaps the matter was quite important.

"En!

I got it. Come in first!

I still have some things to ask you. "Nodding slightly, Zhuowen said calmly.

"Yes!" The person outside the door responded softly. Then, he quietly entered the training room.

Liu Tao. His appearance was rather rough, and he had a tall figure. Both of his temples were slightly white. Zhuo Wen still remembered that this middle-aged man in front of him used to be an insignificant general manager of the Outer Academy. However, his ability to judge people was top-notch, and he had long since sought refuge with Zhuo Wen.

As Zhuowen's position became higher and higher, the Hidden Dragon Pavilion had become a sacred place in the Zhuo Family. Many people's faces were filled with reverence when they mentioned the Pavilion Master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. It was because of this prestige that Zhuowen's position as the General Manager of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion was much higher than before. Now, many people in the inner court had to give him face.

Liu Tao naturally knew that his current position was given to him by this young man in front of him. Therefore, in the past few years as the general manager of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion, he had done his best. A lot of the information in Zhuowen's hands was collected by Liu Tao.

"You should have completed the task I gave you, right?" Zhuo Wen glanced at Liu Tao and said calmly.

"It's all done. All the information I've gathered is here!"

Liu Tao bowed and nodded, then carefully took out a large stack of paper from the Qiankun bag tied around his waist. The paper was filled with dense black characters.

Zhuowen glanced at the Universe Bag on Liu Tao's waist with some astonishment. It seemed that Liu Tao's days were really quite good. He was only the steward of the pavilion, but he actually had a Universe Bag that even core disciples might not have.

Liu Tao also noticed Zhuowen's gaze. His hands suddenly stiffened, and a trace of cold sweat suddenly flowed down from his forehead. He somewhat incoherently explained: "Young Master, this Qiankun bag was bought by this lowly one with the money I saved up recently …"

"Don't worry!

I won't meddle in your affairs, as long as you can do what I have arranged for you! "Zhuowen waved his hand slightly and said without minding.

Even if Liu Tao did not need to explain, Zhuowen knew that the former's Qiankun Pouch was obtained through bribery. However, Zhuowen did not reject this kind of thing. After all, once a person's status reached a certain height, such a situation would inevitably occur.

"Many thanks, Young Master!" Liu Tao gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a sigh of relief.

He did not know why, but every time he faced the young man in front of him, he always felt a pressure that made it difficult for him to breathe. He knew that this was because the young man in front of him was too strong.

After receiving the paper, Zhuowen began to read it seriously. The content written on the paper was basically information about the factions that came from the county capital to Vine Armor City. This time, since Zhuowen was determined to go to the ancient cave, he naturally had to understand the details of these factions. Otherwise, if there was a conflict when the time came, he would be in the dark.

The content written on the paper was very detailed. The information about the factions in the county capital was very detailed. There was even information about the strength of the cultivators sent by the factions and some things to take note of.

Zhuowen read it very carefully, as if he was weighing every word as he read. Liu Tao, on the other hand, stood at the side respectfully. There was not the slightest trace of impatience on his face.

An hour later, Zhuo Wen quickly finished reading the content on the paper. Due to the news of the Ancient Cave Mansion being spread, almost half of the factions in the province had sent out experts to probe. These factions were led by the three super factions of the province, the three Marquises.

The three Marquises of the county capital were Muqin Marquis, Baichuan Marquis and Yongsheng Marquis. The three Marquises were the strongest factions in the entire Muqin County. Naturally, the three Marquises were also the strongest people in Muqin County.

In addition to the three Marquises of the county capital, Zhuowen also noticed two other factions. They were the Imperial Sword Sect and the Jade Lady Star Court. These two factions were the strongest factions in the county capital other than the three Marquises. The cultivators sent by these two factions were also quite difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, the experts sent by the factions in the province this time were basically the younger generation. After Mu Qin Marquis used the Limitless World Secret Technique to detect the location of the ancient cave dwelling, he also discovered that the ancient cave dwelling was an abandoned cave dwelling. Therefore, he had already forbidden the older generation experts from the factions in the province from joining the cave dwelling this time. This was Zhuo Wen's opportunity.

If the ancient martial art practitioners sent by the prefecture were those old monsters, then Zhuo Wen would at most be a bystander in the Ancient Cave Mansion. It was basically impossible for him to obtain any benefits. However, if they were merely young martial art practitioners, Zhuo Wen would not be so fearful.

After reading the introduction on the paper, Zhuowen fell into deep thought. It seemed that if he wanted to reap enough benefits in the ancient cave, he had to plan well.

"Let's put this matter aside for a while!

Let's go to the trade fair first. I don't know why Master Cang Mu is looking for me. "Gently putting the paper into his Qiankun Bag, Zhuowen thought to himself.

"Liu Tao, I am very satisfied with the information you have collected this time. As a reward, you can take these two Void Pills!

Seeing that you have reached the peak of the Nirvana Realm, these pills can greatly increase your chances of entering the Yin Void Realm. "

Glancing at the respectful Liu Tao in front of him, Zhuowen took out two powerful pills from his Qiankun Bag and handed them to the stunned Liu Tao. Then, he stepped out of the practice room.

Liu Tao stared blankly at the gradually disappearing figure. His right hand trembled as he held the two pills in his palm. Finally, he knelt on the ground and deeply bowed to Zhuowen's back. Then, he said excitedly, "Thank you, young master, for your reward."

In fact, he had been stuck in the Nirvana Realm for a long time. No matter what method he used, he could not break through to the Yin Void Realm. Moreover, he was already old. He knew that with his aging body, it was impossible for him to rely on himself to break through to the Yin Void Realm.

Therefore, he had long since given up on this idea. However, he did not expect that Zhuowen would be so generous as to reward him with the precious Void Pill.

This kind of pill was well-known in the Zhuo Family. Since Zhuowen was able to refine this kind of pill, he had refined a large number of Void Pills and handed them to Zhuo Xiangding. As the Family Head, Zhuo Xiangding was responsible for distributing the pills.

Because of the existence of the Void Pill, many core disciples in the family had successfully broken through to the Yin Void Realm. Even some Outer Disciples had obtained the Void Pill through hard work. Thus, they had soared to the Yin Void Realm.

Therefore, the recent development of the Zhuo Family was in full swing not only because of Zhuowen's great reputation, but also because of this extremely precious pill.

Normally, even if Liu Tao's status was amazing, it would still be difficult for him to obtain a Void Pill. However, Zhuowen had rewarded him with two pills at once. For Liu Tao, this was undoubtedly great news.

Walking out of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Zhuowen headed straight for the trade fair in Teng Jia City. However, what made him speechless was that on the way out of the Zhuo Family, Zhuowen could often feel many burning gazes converging on him.

Whether it was the family's servants, guards, or the younger generation of the family disciples, they all stared at Zhuowen with feverish eyes. Their burning gazes seemed to want to melt Zhuowen. There were even some young girls who kept casting flirtatious glances at him with their watery eyes. Their intentions were very obvious.

Facing these gazes, even if Zhuowen was quite thick-skinned, he still couldn't bear it. He unconsciously quickened his pace.

Under the fervent gazes of the crowd, Zhuo Wen walked out of the Zhuo Residence in a rather embarrassing manner. Under the respectful gazes of the two guards at the entrance, he directly rushed towards the location of the trade fair.

However, when he passed by the God Stone Square, an uproar attracted Zhuowen's attention. Then, Zhuowen discovered that the spacious open space in the square was occupied by a huge dragon-headed ship.

Zhuowen recognized this dragon-headed ship. Wasn't it the Dragon Boat of the House of Marquis Qin? Last time, the Ninth Commandery Princess came to Teng Jia City on this kind of Spiritual Treasure.

"Did the House of Marquis Qin send someone again?"

Zhuowen's eyes narrowed slightly. He couldn't help but slowly move closer to the God Stone Square. Among the crowd, he fixed his gaze on the God Stone Square.

At this moment, there were already three figures waiting quietly on the square. Zhuowen was no stranger to these three figures. They were the Ninth Commandery Princess, Lingju, and Xu Chang.

Whoosh!

A huge stone ladder was lowered from the deck. Then, a tall and straight man in a purple robe led a group of heavily armed guards down the stone ladder slowly.

When the Ninth Commandery Princess saw the man in the purple robe, her beautiful face revealed a trace of joy. A sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She looked exceptionally charming.

Zhuowen focused on the man in the purple robe. His heart slightly skipped a beat. He could feel a trace of powerful aura from the man in the purple robe. This aura was even stronger than that of Gu Yue Tian.

In other words, the man in the purple robe, who was not even 75 years old, was actually stronger than the governor of Teng Jia City, Gu Yue Tian. His strength was at least above the Earth King Realm.

Shifting his gaze slightly, Zhuo Wen focused his gaze on the other young man beside the purple-robed man. This young man had his arms crossed in front of his chest. The muscles on his exposed arms were knotted, and there were strange patterns engraved on his arms. Moreover, the young man carried a two-meter-long saber on his back.

This saber, coupled with the young man's tall stature, faintly emitted a savage aura.

The red-armed young man's aura was equally powerful. It was almost on par with that of the man in the purple robe.
