Chapter 455: 453. The Surrender of the Sea of Clouds and Cang Lan (Part 1) "Sect Leader Wen is here!"
Cang Lan’s eyes in Cloud Sea narrowed, a look like long-awaited rain after a drought shot out from them.
If Sect Leader Wen could come, he must be bringing the Vortex Map.
"Quickly, invite him!"
Saying this, Cang Lan adjusted his attire and was about to walk out to personally greet Wen Ping.
Lu Hai shook his head, quickly explaining, "Sect Leader Wen hasn’t arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion yet. It was Bai Hao the commander who sent word; his subordinates saw Sect Leader Wen outside the city."
"Sure?"
Upon hearing it was just a sighting, Cang Lan’s eyes lost some of their brilliance.
However, he still maintained his anticipation.
He just hoped the person Bai Hao saw wasn’t mistaken.
Lu Hai nodded and answered decisively, "Sure, Sect Leader Wen’s white robe is very recognizable."
"Take me to him."
With that, Cang Lan hurriedly left the City Lord’s Mansion.
On the other side, after entering Cloud Sea City, Wen Ping brought Da Gui and Xiao Gui, planning to find an inn nearby to stay before choosing an auction house for the Vortex Map auction.
The first choice, naturally, was the Mu Family’s auction house.
Mu Tian was good at publicity.
Handing the new Two-Vortex Vortex Map to him for promotion would certainly make everyone in Cloud Sea City aware within a day or two.
With proper publicity, the price naturally rises.
However, before the first step of the plan could be implemented, a military unit approached.
Silver helmets, silver armor, and orderly, powerful steps, a glance showed all were Upper Profound Realm. When they arrived, people and beasts on the road quickly made way for them.
Regardless of whether they were from a Three-star Influence.
Or from some young master-like pampered sons of wealthy families.
No one dared to confront this army directly. Seeing them, more people maintained a sense of reverence.
The leader was, naturally, Bai Hao.
"Sect Leader Wen!"
Bai Hao stepped forward, hurriedly clasping his fists in salute.
Wen Ping asked, "Commander Bai, is there something wrong?"
"Yes, yes... Finally, you’re here. You said you would come a month later last time, now it’s almost two months, letting us wait eagerly." Though he couldn’t afford the Vortex Map, as the commander, he hoped Sect Leader Wen would come again to Cloud Sea City to sell the Vortex Map because his honor was shared, and when had Cloud Sea City ever seen so many high-ranking figures, all thanks to Sect Leader Wen?
After saying this, Bai Hao quickly made a gesture of invitation and added, "The City Lord has already arranged a place for you. Please follow me."
"Has the Cloud Sea City Lord returned?"
Xuanse Lake isn’t close to here.
Bai Hao responded, "The City Lord returned some time ago and should be coming this way now. If Sect Leader Wen follows me to the residence, you should meet him."
"Alright, let’s go."
Not to mention having saved Cang Lan, even if he hadn’t, Wen Ping would still feel at ease staying in.
In his mind, there was no concept of owing someone for hospitality or favors.
With Da Gui and Xiao Gui, no one in Cloud Sea City could threaten him, there was no need to worry about traps.
As the group left, the street slowly resumed its bustling scene.
However, everyone looked at the direction where Wen Ping departed, engaging in numerous discussions.
"Who is this young master from which influence?"
"Cloud Sea City is about to change drastically, how many high-ranking figures have come in the past half month. To have Commander Bai personally come to greet him, the influence he belongs to must be significant."
"You don’t know? This is the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect. Immortal Sect...you all should know."
Of course not everyone was clueless.
Those coming to Cloud Sea City, were all from the major families of Three Lakes Land.
Some remembered the Immortal Clear Wind Robe.
"Isn’t he the one who killed the Chief of Bright Mirror Lake and wiped out the Mitian Sect from the Immortal Sect?"
"Exactly!"
As this voice fell, many on the street gazed at Wen Ping’s figure in the distance.
How many jealous glances.
Some also showed reverence.
The Immortal Sect was indeed the most legendary Sect currently.
