Gravis scratched his chin in thought. 'Underworld is a loose organization similar to a black market, mercenary army, and an assassination organization. They shouldn't care about loyalty for the members that don't know the really important information. This means that they and I are not enemies. I was simply a target of a squad and killed them.'

'I should come into contact with Underworld. If the Peak Sects try anything underhanded when I discuss my grand plan with one of them, Underworld might be able to help me,' Gravis thought.

'Well, let's meet them.'

SHING!

Gravis teleported away and appeared in front of the tavern. Then, he entered like a normal guest.

Gravis saw a couple of Nascent Nourishing Cultivators sitting around. He even saw some loose Law Comprehension Realm Cultivators, and there was even a Peak Immortal. The Peak Immortal acted like the owner while the bartender was only an employee. However, the bartender was the one truly in control.

"Welcome!" the bartender shouted with enthusiasm. "Do you want to drink something? First one's on the house!"

Gravis chuckled a bit and walked closer to the bar. Then, he simply sat down in one seat.

"I think you don't want our conversation to reach the ears of the other guests," Gravis transmitted to the bartender.

The bartender looked confused. "Is there something, sir? We already paid our protection fee."

Gravis had to chuckle. Extorting protection fee from a Major Circulation Immortal Emperor. Sure.

"Now, before we begin talking for real, let me first establish something," Gravis said calmly. "The entire Nine Elements Sect is obviously in my Spirit Sense's range. So, if I wanted to do anything untoward to you, I wouldn't be sitting here."

The bartender only looked with a genuinely confused expression at Gravis. One had to say that he was very good at acting.

"You are at least a Major Circulation Immortal Emperor in hiding, and below us is probably a stronghold of Underworld," Gravis said.

The bartender looked afraid as he stepped back in shock. "Underworld? I assure you that our fine establishment has nothing to do with Underworld! Only an idiot would create a stronghold so close to the Nine Elements Sect!"

The bartender sounded genuinely scared and shocked. Of course, everything was being said via voice transmission.

Gravis only smirked. "I am absolutely certain that you are at least at the Major Circulation Immortal Emperor Realm," Gravis transmitted again, but this time, he used his Law of Honesty.

The bartender seemed to calm down as he sighed, but at the same time, another voice transmission appeared in Gravis' head. "Quite interesting," the cold and emotionless voice of the bartender appeared in Gravis' head. "If you hadn't proven that you didn't want to go against us, you would have already died. I hadn't thought that someone would use the Law of Honesty to uncover us. Quite creative, I must say."

Gravis only smiled.

"So, what do you want?" the bartender asked.
