A Taoist who appeared to be about the same age as Xing Fengzi strode forward and, after a brief glance at Fan Wu and the others, curiously asked, "Is this Daoist friend also here to pay homage to the Immortal Gods?"
Xing Fengzi was taken aback, "Immortal...Gods?!!"
He was a bit bewildered and asked, "Why go to pay homage to the Immortal Gods?"
"You're not a local, are you?" the enthusiastic Taoist remarked upon hearing Xing Fengzi's different accent, and suddenly realized, "Our City Lord God in Zhu Yao Province descends to show His spirit every once in a while!"
"Whenever that time comes, many cultivators and common folk will go to pay their respects to His Lordship. And He, too, will most generously deliver divine lectures and discuss the Dao with us - we are all going to pay homage to the City Lord God!"
This quite enthusiastic Taoist explained the reason why this group of people had gathered together in just a few words.
