What does it mean to never come back?

The city lord was gone for two hours and still hadn't returned.

Tang Xiaobao's expression became more and more ugly, but the Imperial Master's expression remained calm.

"master--"

"Are you impatient now?"

The Imperial Master was resting with his eyes closed, and asked without even opening them.

Tang Xiaobao blushed. "No, what I want to ask is, is this holy pool really that difficult to enter?"

"certainly."

The Imperial Master finally opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "Do you think it's that easy to enter the Holy Pool? Let me tell you, the City Lord has dozens of princes, but only three of them can actually enter the Holy Pool for cleansing."

puff……

Tang Xiaobao almost fell down.

He had already thought that this holy pool would be difficult to enter, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Those princes are all the flesh and blood of the city lord. If the Red Gold City is a country, then the city lord is the supreme emperor, and his princes are of course royal relatives. They all have no chance to enter the Holy Pool. The national teacher actually allowed himself, an outsider, a waste in the eyes of outsiders, to enter the Holy Pool. It is really a fantasy.

"Don't worry, since he promised me something, he will definitely do it. He's easy to talk to, but those three old antiques might be a little stubborn and troublesome. However, after today, both my master and I owe him a big favor. We must repay him when we have the chance in the future. Also, you must not let me down."

The national teacher said earnestly.

Tang Xiaobao felt a little guilty and said carefully, "How about, Master, I won't enter the Holy Pool."

He was afraid that he didn't have any immortal bloodline, which would be very embarrassing.

The Imperial Master glared at him. "Are you losing confidence again? I'll let you go in and try no matter what. I do have a way to open your bloodline, but entering the Holy Pool will be of great benefit to you. Stop imagining it. Now that things have come to this, you must go in."

Before Tang Xiaobao could say anything, a ripple appeared in the air. The City Lord stepped out from one of the ripples and bowed to the Imperial Chair, saying, "Imperial Master, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've persuaded the three priests to open the Holy Pool once."

"Those three old guys are really stubborn. You must have promised them some benefits, right?"

The Imperial Master laughed.

The city lord's face turned red, and he said angrily, "There's nothing I can do. For the sake of the overall situation, I can't turn against them. What's more, you are now—"

"Well, it's nothing. The Holy Pool will open in fifty years, and we need to give their three descendants a chance."

"Hmph, they're really asking for such a high price. Don't worry, the situation will change drastically before the next opening. By then, they won't be much of a problem."

The Imperial Master's face also looked a little ugly.

"What? The situation will change? Imperial Master, is this true?"

The city lord was stunned.

The Imperial Master nodded.

The city lord looked at Tang Xiaobao and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After a pause, he said, "Let's go and take this child to the holy pool for washing."

After passing through the back door of the hall and crossing several courtyards, we finally arrived under a tall tower.

The tower is six stories high and hexagonal in shape. It is unknown what material it is made of. At this time, the tower seems to be wrapped in a white mist, and white smoke is constantly floating out of the tower.

Under the high tower, nine guards from the City Lord's Mansion were guarding it.

Among these guards, the lowest level was a fourth-class immortal, and the highest had reached the sixth-class immortal. Their cultivation was truly extremely high.

Seeing the city lord and the imperial teacher coming together, the guards stood up from the ground and bowed.

The city lord nodded and took the imperial teacher and Tang Xiaobao into the tower.

Inside the tower, there are three cushions, on which three old men are sitting. It seems that they have lived for an unknown number of years, with white beards and eyebrows. Their cultivation has reached the ninth level of immortals, and one of them has even reached the late stage of the ninth level of immortals.

These three people are the top fighters in Chijin City.

It is also one of the biggest trump cards of Chijin City.

Two of them had once been city lords.

At this time, they all narrowed their eyes and looked at Tang Xiaobao.

Then, their expressions became somewhat unhappy and disgusted.

The worshipper in the middle asked, "Is this the person who is going to enter the sacred pool?"

"Exactly."

The city lord said.

"You're such a loser, without even a trace of immortal energy in your body, yet you actually want to open the Holy Pool ten years early, and waste the opportunity to open it in vain. For this, you'll also delay the next opening of the Holy Pool by several decades. Is this worth it?"

"I've already said it before. This is my final decision. I will definitely do what I promised you."

The city lord said with some dissatisfaction.

"I hope you can keep your word. I'm not afraid that you'll regret it, hum."

Led by the cold offering

Snorted.

Tang Xiaobao felt a little unhappy.

Damn it, is this a case of being too successful and threatening the master?

How dare you be so rude to the city lord? Do you really think you are a dish?

I want to enter the Holy Pool once, but the City Lord has to negotiate and bargain with you. Does the City Lord have the final say?

He could also see that although the city lord was extremely powerful and glorious outside, he was selfish and was very wary of these three priests. He even had to maintain this relationship with them.

It seems that everyone has difficult times.

The city lord also has his own unspeakable secrets.

And now, he felt some gratitude towards the city lord.

This is really a favor.

It must be repaid in the future.

By the way, his little daughter once saved my life and has always protected me since then. This favor must be repaid.

While he was daydreaming, the three priests had already started to chant spells at the same time.

Soon, the three of them each stretched out two fingers and pointed in different directions.

A strange scene appeared.

In the air, several golden rays of light refracted into strange shapes, which were very beautiful.

Finally, in front of Tang Xiaobao, the ground began to collapse.

It didn't collapse, but moved away, like a mechanism, revealing a deep cave.

The cave was more like a huge coffin, with the sound of boiling water coming from it. Countless hot air rose from it, forming a white mist, which was like a beam of light, heading straight to the top of the tower.

It's like a dream and very beautiful.

"Okay, jump in now."

The Imperial Master took a deep breath, a little excited, and said to Tang Xiaobao.

"Huh? Just jump in like that?"

Tang Xiaobao was shocked.

"Just jump if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you don't dare to jump, get out of here as soon as possible and don't waste our time."

One of the worshippers said sarcastically.

"Go ahead, you won't die."

The Imperial Master sent a message to Tang Xiaobao, "I will guard you outside the tower. Although the whole process is extremely painful, you must keep your mind clear. Otherwise, you will really die. You must grit your teeth and hold on."

After he said that, Tang Xiaobao became even more scared.

But when he saw the mocking looks from several of the worshippers, he became so angry that he jumped in himself.
