Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

"Huaxia language, ah, I understand some of it, but not much of it—mostly I don't understand..." Faced with this question, Xia Liu naturally couldn't answer too straightforwardly.

Otherwise, these two girls would no longer joke around in Huaxia language in front of him.

Hearing Xia Liu say this, Rose and Yanzi both breathed a sigh of relief.

If this guy understood everything they said, then the rest of their journey would become incredibly awkward.

Especially Rose, who had been discussing Xia Liu with Yanzi and joking about him before.

More than an hour later, the three of them successfully got two rooms.

Standing at the window and gazing at the towering church in the distance, Xia Liu silently formulated a plan.

That was Saint Peter's Cathedral!

When night fell, without informing the two women, Xia Liu leaped up, hopping across several rooftops, and then emerged from a narrow and dark alley.

Lance might arrive tomorrow or the day after, so he must check out the three possible places he could appear.

The first stop for Xia Liu was Saint Peter's Cathedral.

The brightly lit cathedral, with its imposing architecture, was enough to send shivers down one's spine.

Upon reaching the main hall, the lifelike frescoes were startling, making it hard to imagine how the ancients had managed to construct such a grandiose building.

Xia Liu's purpose here was straightforward: to investigate if anyone was setting up.

After all, for a hero like Lance to land here, there would definitely be some extravagant preparations.

Unfortunately, after avoiding everyone, Xia Liu didn't find anything unusual.

He then left the cathedral and headed for the second location, the Thousand Gods Temple!

Just like the cathedral, there was nothing unusual about the Thousand Gods Temple either.

In the end, Xia Liu had no choice but to follow the last lead—Main Heart Castle!

Main Heart Castle was a landmark building of the city.

It was the spiritual and cultural symbol of this place.

Main Heart Castle was said to have been passed down from ancient times and used to be an imperial traveling palace of a ruler who once governed half of Europe and America.

Xia Liu wasn't particularly interested in this.

Back in ancient times, how could it compete with the Cultivator Era?

An emperor like that, in the Cultivator Era, would probably be fit only to sweep floors.

Main Heart Castle was situated in the center of the city.

It was a massive traveling palace fortress.

Every night, Main Heart Castle was extremely lively.

And tonight was no exception.

In the front hall, an air of noble elegance was unmistakably condensed.

Many successful individuals were holding their wine glasses and networking with a variety of partners.

Xia Liu appeared at the entrance in a black robe, only to be stopped by the security guards.

Instead of forcing his way in, Xia Liu moved to one side and used his movement technique to enter the castle from a high vantage point.

Having entered Main Heart Castle once before, Xia Liu was very familiar with the layout here.

The front hall was a social venue for ordinary businessmen.

The middle courtyard was a quiet and elegant place for city leaders to welcome their guests.

The back courtyard was the secluded and noble setting for bigshots from various sectors.

Xia Liu made straight for the back of the fortress.

Before he even got there, he saw many men and women in waiter's attire pushing carts, seemingly setting up a huge event.

Following the waiters' footsteps secretly, Xia Liu arrived at a majestic and expansive hall.

The hall was decorated with the luster of gold, with countless famous paintings hanging on the walls, and numerous frescoes on the dome above.

They were somewhat reminiscent of the pilgrimage frescoes in the churches.

A long table that could accommodate thirty people was being set up by the waiters.

"Hurry up with your tasks! The honored guests are about to arrive!" In the hall, a dark-skinned man wearing glasses urged.

"Honored guests? Could it be Lance?" Understanding the glasses-wearing man's Latin, Xia Liu was somewhat puzzled.

If it really was Lance and the others coming, then he could fulfill the agreement today!

As he observed intently, Xia Liu suddenly noticed that among the waitstaff, there were two individuals who were quite exceptional.

Both of them harbored a power that was faint yet discernible.

One possessed the strength of a Psychic Being at least at the second level.

The other held the elusive aura of the sword!

"Heh, I really underestimated you two," Xia Liu chuckled and shook his head when he felt the power within them.

Just now, he had wasted some time investigating the Thousand Gods Temple and the cathedral.

Yet, Rose and Yanzi had already infiltrated the enemy's ranks!

What a gap...

Taking advantage of Lance's absence, Xia Liu concealed his energy and continued to secretly observe from the shadows.

Clearly, Rose and Yanzi had set out before him, and their likely objective was to take action personally.

It seems that these two girls still didn't fully trust him.

Or perhaps Rose was unwilling to accept him and wanted to handle things herself, which would render their agreement useless.

Regardless of the reason, Xia Liu had great respect for both women.

After busying himself for over an hour, the time finally reached midnight.

By then, the crowd outside the castle had nearly dispersed.

The Main Heart Castle, solemn and quiet, was only occupied in the rear city.

Ding!

A clear and loud sound resonated, its origin unknown, within the great hall.

Following that, several figures in black entered through the main door.

Their steps were uniform, and despite the darkness, they remained stylish, donning sunglasses.

"They're here!" Xia Liu, hiding in the dark, sensed that each of these figures in black emanated a thread of Exotic Force.

All of them were Psychic Beings!

Furthermore, Xia Liu could sense that the Exotic Force of a few among them had reached a certain limit!

Meaning, there were at least five Psychic Beings with Peak Cultivation.

Peak meant a fourth-level Psychic Being.

Their Exotic Force could compare with that of a Heaven-Rank Martial Artist from Huaxia.

However, since Exotic Force had few techniques, when facing a Heaven-Rank Martial Artist of the same level, a Psychic Being would eventually be defeated if the battle dragged on.

Xia Liu naturally wasn't concerned about these Psychic Beings.

What he worried about was whether Lance would make an appearance!

As for this iconic castle, Xia Liu didn't have any sentimental attachment to it.

If possible, he wished he could destroy it with a single blow.

At this moment, Rose and Yanzi were still dressed as waitresses.

They stood respectfully against the wall, awaiting orders from the higher-ups.

The first group of Psychic Beings that entered escorted a middle-aged man.

This man had a thick beard, and upon entering the hall, wore a tiger-skin coat.

The middle-aged man took off the tiger-skin coat, revealing a garment similar to the ancient robes of Huaxia.

This fellow must be from the Middle East region.

Less than a minute later, several tall, sturdy men dressed in camouflage walked in.

"Scorpion Mercenary Corps!"

Recognizing one of the men in camouflage, Xia Liu's eyes narrowed; he didn't expect that this individual would show up here too.

Following the entrance of the Scorpion Mercenary Corps, various other prominent figures continued to arrive.

Each of them had a reputation that resonated in the Underground World.

Some, Xia Liu was quite familiar with, such as Charlie, the captain of the Scorpion Mercenary Group.

There were also several other mercenary teams.

These must be the top-tier teams that survived the upheaval of those years.
