Chapter 273: Black Mysterious
Although Black Mysterious Island was an overseas island, because it was located at a crucial shipping route junction with prosperous trade, a rather substantial city stood on the main island, named Black Stone City.
The city walls were constructed from the island's unique black profound stone.
The Demon Sect's stronghold was not set in the chaotic harbor district, but rather hidden in a relatively secluded area in the southwest corner of the city.
This place had once been a folk shrine with fairly prosperous incense offerings, dedicated to some sea god of uncertain origin. Later, for reasons unknown, it fell into ruin and the incense offerings gradually died out.
The stronghold was established in the meditation rooms behind this abandoned shrine.
The meditation rooms had been renovated and possessed a somewhat refined and elegant charm.
Several dim oil lamps flickered in the corners, and around an eight immortals table sat several silhouettes.
The ones at the fore were precisely the three Demon Sect experts, Fang Cheng, Guo Pingling, and Zhao Yuandou.
Seated in the place of honor was a man with fair skin, wearing a brocade long robe, dressed as a middle-aged scholar.
