The Fourth District of Taiping City is located outside the Third Wall.
Because the Fourth Wall has not yet been built, the strongholds of Myriad Hands Palace and Azure Cloud Sect are like they were built outside of Taiping City, and are not protected by the sect's grand formation.
However, the sects themselves have protective foundations, so the biggest protectors of the Fourth District are the major sects stationed in Taiping City.
According to the plan of the Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage, the intention is to have sects and schools spread throughout the Fourth District, forming a Xianmeng defense line, and the security of this area will also be managed by the nearby sects.
With the arrival of Myriad Hands Palace and Azure Cloud Sect.
Zhuang Zongzheng's Ruihai Trading Company and Li Shang's Dark Star Tower also moved to the Fourth District for unified planning and management.
After that, the sects that moved in were Sect Master Nie Qing from the Illusion Sound Sect, and Palace Master Qi Xianjue from the Martial Dao Palace.
These two were old members of the group that Luo Liuxi pulled into the Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage, just like Li Shang and Du Changping.
Chen Changsheng had almost no contact with these two, and only occasionally saw their few words in the group.
The last Elder of the first generation to move into Taiping City was an old friend Chen Changsheng had never met—Wu Yingmei from Purple Mist Valley!
At this time, Chen Changsheng was receiving Wu Yingmei and others in the Fourth District.
The beautiful woman in front of him was wearing a long dress of blue Xia light, the skirt swaying like flowing water, and the skirt was dotted with silver edges, sparkling with faint light, like stars falling into the mortal world.
Her eyes were deep and bright, her slender eyelashes trembled gently, as light as feathers, and a clear brilliance flowed between her brows and eyes, like spring water, washing away the dust of the world.
Wu Yingmei opened her lips slightly, smiled slightly, and said in a crisp voice: "First meeting, Changsheng, the hundred-year agreement, but more than two hundred years have passed, and you haven't come to find me."
Chen Changsheng coughed lightly in embarrassment: "My cultivation is low and it is difficult to travel long distances, so I waited for you in Taiping City. Does this hundred-year agreement still count? Why don't we get married now?"
"Bold!"
The disciples of Purple Mist Valley behind Wu Yingmei, upon hearing the word 'marriage', instantly became like cats with puffed fur, and furiously said: "How can Fairy Wu allow you to tarnish her? Even if you are an Elder of the Ancient Immortal Dao Lineage, you must apologize to Fairy Wu!"
"Your prestige in Purple Mist Valley is good. So many people admire you."
Chen Changsheng looked at the Purple Mist Valley disciples with angry faces with a smile, his eyes like an old father looking at his children.
Wu Yingmei smiled charmingly: "That's natural. If you offend me, they will settle the score with you."
"As for the hundred-year agreement... the hundred-year condition has indeed been met, but you have not gone to Purple Mist Valley in Luo Territory, so the marriage condition has not been met yet."
The agreement back then was that after a hundred years, Chen Changsheng would arrive at Purple Mist Valley in Luo Territory, and Wu Yingmei would become his Dao companion.
But now it is Wu Yingmei who has come to Taiping City, not Chen Changsheng who has gone to Purple Mist Valley.
Chen Changsheng smiled dumbly: "Is that so? What a pity."
"I can't see any regret in your expression, but it seems like you're a little relieved." Wu Yingmei said suspiciously.
"Haha! Let's not talk about this." Chen Changsheng brushed it off and changed the subject: "I'll take you to stroll around Taiping City, let the Elders of Purple Mist Valley choose the sect address."
The two walked and chatted, wandering through the streets and alleys, mountains, and lakes of Taiping City.
Wu Yingmei asked: "Have all the first-generation Elders come to Taiping City?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head lightly: "The Sixth Princess didn't come. The Divine Envoy Kingdom is a dynasty, and it can't be moved like a sect, let alone spare half of its manpower to station in Taiping City."
The emperor is the least likely to willingly become a subject, letting them take over Taiping City is definitely willing, but letting them join is absolutely impossible.
So among the first-generation Elders, only Qinglian didn't come, everyone else did.
"The development of Taiping City far exceeds my expectations. Just now I calculated a divination, and the future of Taiping City is difficult to glimpse." Wu Yingmei's pretty face was solemn.
"Doesn't this just show that Taiping City has a deep foundation and unlimited possibilities?" Chen Changsheng smiled.
"That's true, but it also means that my divination cannot predict the crisis for Taiping City, I can only deal with the situation as it comes."
"This is the easiest thing for group members to deal with."
As soon as Chen Changsheng finished speaking, he suddenly received a group message notification.
Under normal circumstances, it would be directly ignored, but the familiar name on it made Chen Changsheng and Wu Yingmei look startled.
The two looked at each other, and at the same time showed a look of horror.
[Group Reminder: Group member Du Changping has died!]
...
The sky was gloomy, as if a storm was coming.
The atmosphere in the magnificent hall was dead silent, Chen Changsheng and others stood in front of a coffin, their expressions solemn and sad.
The loss of lifespan is the most fatal thing for cultivators.
What's more, Du Changping's lifespan was already running out, and he had experienced a lifespan-burning battle, he was able to live to this day purely relying on the medicinal effects of natural treasures.
"Senior Du, may you rest in peace!"
Qiu Xuan sighed, his eyes turbid as he gently stroked the coffin and sealed it with magic.
He seemed to see his own future, and couldn't help but feel pessimistic.
Powerful Huashen cultivators like Senior Du can't escape the limitations of lifespan, let alone him, a small Jindan stage cultivator.
Like Senior Du, he came to Taiping City to retire, and he can't escape the day of his death.
"Carry the coffin, bury it!"
Luo Liuxi's tone was cold, revealing a hint of heaviness.
Senior Du's coffin was immediately lifted up by several people to carry out the funeral ceremony.
Flowers were piled up, and hell money was scattered, all the way to the Taiping City cemetery for burial.
Seeing this scene, many people showed grief and trance, it seemed that all reputation, achievements, and past were just a big dream.
If you don't become an immortal, you will eventually become nothing!
"Changsheng, are you worried that you will not be able to become an immortal and eventually die of old age?"
Wu Yingmei stood beside Chen Changsheng and suddenly asked.
Chen Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back and replied calmly: "I never dream about the future, I only care about every day in the present."
"Although you are not answering the question, I can hear confidence in your tone. To be honest, I don't understand why you can live so freely, and create miracles time and time again in the process of being free."
Wu Yingmei stared straight ahead: "The divination I calculated for you back then, the question was actually what kind of karma would there be if I made friends with you, the analysis of the divination is... Changsheng!"
She paused, turned her head to look at Chen Changsheng's eyes, and a playful smile appeared on her face.
"The result of the divination is the same as your name, which makes me unable to judge the specific answer."
"I was thinking at the time, does the meaning of the divination mean that making friends with you can get the chance of longevity? Or is your physique special, and eating you can get longevity? Or are there other answers?"
"Your words are a bit scary, but I can answer you." Chen Changsheng also showed a playful smile: "Actually, if you eat me, you can get longevity, do you believe it?"
"..."
Wu Yingmei was silent for a moment, her tone with a hint of anger, and said: "Fairy Luo is right, you are just a rogue."
