"Didn't expect you two to remember me," the Red Ridge Immortal, smiling warmly, greeted Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan. His presence significantly eased the tense atmosphere. Given their previous encounter and mutual favorable impression, the conversation flowed more smoothly than it would have with a complete stranger.
"You two must be here for the opportunities within the Celestial Insect Valley," he continued. "Coincidentally, we've gathered a group of cultivators to explore the valley. If you could join us, our chances of success would increase significantly."
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were taken aback by this proposal. Could it be that the information about the Five Elements Celestial Stone was already widespread? Had the Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal Fair played them for fools?
These questions raced through their minds. If the information was indeed common knowledge, then their agreement was worthless.
