Chapter 2501: Chapter 2501: Array Formation Family

Upon hearing the gray-robed elder speak, Gao Zhenjiang just forced a smile.

In fact, Gao Zhenjiang was feeling uncertain and somewhat worried. He truly regretted talking too much to Jing Yan.

Originally, Jing Yan mentioned that the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower was a Heavenly Cultivation Tower and suggested that the topmost cultivation room should be experienced by a well-known figure with influence in the Heavenly Domain. Gao Zhenjiang, on a whim, suggested that City Lord Jing Yan should invite Master Ru Yueyi.

Ru Yueyi was the most renowned Immortal Array Master in Kunling Heaven. His skills in Array Dao were extraordinary. In the Heavenly Domain, if Ru Yueyi claimed to be second in Array Dao, no one would dare say they were first. If Master Ru Yueyi endorsed the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower, imagine the terrifying influence it would have?

Ru Yueyi not only had astonishing influence himself, but he also had an Array Formation Family behind him. This family wasn’t large in number, but had many Immortal Array Masters. Furthermore, Ru Yueyi had many disciples in the Heavenly Domain, some with extremely powerful Array Dao capabilities. Among the most famous Immortal Array Masters in the Heavenly Domain, about half were Ru Yueyi’s direct disciples or members of his family.

Rumor has it that once an Immortal Emperor personally invited Master Ru Yueyi for an array formation. Moreover, this rumor was highly credible.

From this, it’s clear how high Ru Yueyi’s status and position is.

When Gao Zhenjiang made that comment to Jing Yan, it was merely offhand. He himself didn’t truly believe that the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower was genuinely a Heavenly Cultivation Tower.

But after mentioning Ru Yueyi’s name, Jing Yan asked him a favor, to invite Master Ru Yueyi, and wouldn’t let him refuse. Subsequently, he regretted it deeply.

Fortunately, he had some connections with Master Ru Yueyi’s family. Gao Zhenjiang had once saved a very important direct lineage member of this family, which established a connection with the master’s family, and Gao Zhenjiang, being sociable, slowly developed closer ties with the master’s family. Eventually, he could even move freely before Master Ru Yueyi.

With this relationship, he finally managed to invite Master Ru Yueyi through persistence.

Of course, Jing Yan wouldn’t ask him for such a favor without compensation. A high-level Netherworld Crystal Stone came from Jing Yan himself.

”City Lord Jing Yan, I hope you won’t cause trouble for me!” Gao Zhenjiang prayed silently.

Although Gao Zhenjiang found it hard to believe Hongmeng Cultivation Tower was a Heavenly Cultivation Tower, Jing Yan’s attitude left him with no choice but to believe. After many encounters, Gao Zhenjiang somewhat understood City Lord Jing Yan’s character. If Hongmeng Cultivation Tower wasn’t a Heavenly Cultivation Tower, Layer Master Jing Yan probably wouldn’t insist so much. Moreover, he specially invited a prestigious figure to experience it.

If it wasn’t a Heavenly Cultivation Tower, inviting a notable figure would immediately expose it, wouldn’t it?

”What’s going on?” Gao Zhenjiang and Master Ru Yueyi approached Hongmeng Cultivation Tower, seeing a crowd at its entrance. Gao Zhenjiang frowned and murmured.

”City Lord Jing Yan is here.” Gao Zhenjiang noticed Jing Yan.

”Senior, let me take a look. Please wait a moment,” Gao Zhenjiang respectfully said to Master Ru Yueyi.

The chaos at the entrance of Hongmeng Cultivation Tower made it inconvenient for Gao Zhenjiang to just bring Master Ru Yueyi over.

Ru Yueyi smiled and nodded.

”City Lord Jing Yan, what’s happened?” Gao Zhenjiang went over and asked Jing Yan.

Then he saw Dingyun City Lord Sima Rongjie and raised an eyebrow.

”City Lord Sima, what brings you here?” Gao Zhenjiang looked at Sima Rongjie.

He certainly knew Sima Rongjie, a key member of the Sima Family.

”Elder Gao, quite the coincidence!” Sima Rongjie saw Gao Zhenjiang, and his eyelashes fluttered as he forced a smile.

Jing Yan saw Gao Zhenjiang arrive, and his face immediately lit up with a smile. He knew, with Gao Zhenjiang here, Master Ru Yueyi should also have arrived, the Array Master whose acclaim could truly spread across the entire Heavenly Domain, should have come with Gao Zhenjiang.

”Elder Gao, thank you for your trouble,” Jing Yan said with shining eyes and a smile.

”No trouble at all. City Lord Jing Yan, what’s going on?” Gao Zhenjiang’s face didn’t look good.

Having invited Master Ru Yueyi was quite difficult. He certainly didn’t want things to get messy.

”Nothing much, just that City Lord Sima wants to use the top cultivation room of Hongmeng Cultivation Tower. However, his qualifications don’t meet the requirement for the top cultivation room as he’s not a VIP of Hongmeng City.” Jing Yan explained.

”City Lord Jing Yan’s words, I don’t understand. I’m willing to pay a daily fee of one billion Black Crystal Stones. If City Lord Jing Yan insists on not letting me use the cultivation room, then I can only conclude the Heavenly-level cultivation room of Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is not as it claims,” Sima Rongjie stated firmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd behind him didn’t stir. City Lord Jing Yan had just warned them that if they continued to make noise, he would kill them all.

One has to admit, Jing Yan has quite the deterrent power.

”City Lord Sima may not know, the Heavenly-level cultivation room of Hongmeng Cultivation Tower not only requires sufficient usage fee but also a particular identity, the VIP status of Hongmeng City,” Gao Zhenjiang lightly chuckled and said to Sima Rongjie.

”If City Lord Sima thinks Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is not as claimed, I could prove otherwise,” Gao Zhenjiang added.

”Hehehe...” Sima Rongjie sneered.

He squinted his eyes partly and said, ”Who doesn’t know in the world, the Golden Toad Commerce and Hongmeng City have a very close relationship? I’ve heard Elder Gao Zhenjiang, your relationship with City Lord Jing Yan is astonishingly close. Before, I didn’t believe such rumors, but now it seems, the rumors might have been understated. Elder Gao, have you already left Golden Toad Commerce to join Hongmeng City?”

”City Lord Sima, you’re crossing the line with your words!” Gao Zhenjiang’s face turned shady.

”Crossing the line? With what? Elder Gao, you claim you’ll prove Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is a Heavenly Cultivation Tower, given your relationship with City Lord Jing Yan, how are we supposed to believe you? I’m afraid... even if Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is a piece of trash, you’d still praise it extravagantly, wouldn’t you?” Chai Chong City Lord said slyly.

While speaking, he continued watching Jing Yan, probably afraid of Jing Yan attacking him.

He was clearly overthinking.

Seeing Gao Zhenjiang arrive, Jing Yan no longer intended to strike. The earlier stern threats were mainly for intimidation, and with Gao Zhenjiang’s appearance, such means were no longer needed.

”Elder Gao, I’m afraid you... can’t convince us!” Wu Ling also said ambiguously.

Gao Zhenjiang glared, sweeping his gaze over the crowd.

”Ridiculous! You’re all quite ridiculous!”

”When did I say I needed you to believe me?” Gao Zhenjiang sneered disdainfully.
