Re:Immortal

Chapter 54

Walking down the busy street, Omis eyes wandered left and right as he observed the people and buildings in curiosity. He felt more like a tourist than anything else as he followed Tizzy around who occasionally pointed at some interesting places and introduced him to them.

Along the way, Omis's figure got a lot of curious glances from the local populace, especially the ladies yet seeing Tizzy the Imperial master himself showing him around was enough to keep everyone away as they merely peeked at him in interest.

"Here we are! The finest bar in all the 'Underworld'!" Said Tizzy with pride as the duo stopped at the edge of the city. In front of them was a small tavern with chairs and tables outside, it's wooden door hung open as Omis was able to see how busy the tavern was.

All the tables outside were occupied, yet as he followed Tizzy inside, drunk cultivators raised their cups with respect to the 'Imperial master' who had just walked it.

"Long live the Master!"

"May your reign continue for thousands of years!"

"The master himself came?! Drinks on me tonight boys!"

"Woohoo!"

Excited shouts of admiration and praise washed over the tavern as the mood turned into a joyous one, Tizzy merely gave them all a light smile as he nodded his head in acknowledgment.

"You sure are popular, eh?" Smirked Omis as he slapped Tizzy's back.

"Haha, you'll have your chance don't worry." He grinned back and retorted.

Raising his hands Omis responded in dismissal.

"Eh? I'll pass, It sounds more of a pain than anything."

"Haha~" Laughing in response, Tizzy simply shook his head as he led Omis to the second floor.

"It's quite empty here." Remarked Omis as he glanced around the second floor.

"Yes, no one bellow the Immortal Venerable stage is allowed here." Said Tizzy as he made his way towards a table at the corner of the floor.

"Hmm." Omis followed him as he also sat himself down.

Soon Ron's figure appeared as he walked towards them with a smile, Omis noticed something strange as the middle-aged man was wearing an apron.

"Pleasure to have you here again Master Tizzy." he said.

"It's been a while since I last tasted some of that 'Demon Wine' specialty of yours. Bring a bottle for us."

Giving a light bow, Ron looked at Omis with an amicable smile before taking his leave downstairs.

"So Ron is the owner?" Asked Omis.

"En, he is the best Wine master in this cursed land. Hell, he is probably the best in the entire three realms."

Chuckling, Omis replied.

"I once knew someone that would have disagreed with that claim."

"Heh, Crow. That stingy bastard." Clicking his tongue Tizzy responded.

"Haha! Aye, as stingy as he was, his wine was definitely unrivaled."

"Eh, i'll give Ron a couple of thousand years and he'll probably catch up to that bastard."

"*Sigh* you wouldn't happen to know what happened to him?" Asked Omis.

Shaking his head, Tizzy replied. "I am afraid not, we were not fighting on the same battlefield."

Before Omis could say anything, Ron arrived with a jar of wine. The jar was a blood-red colored one as he set in on the table.

"Enjoy!" He said before turning around and taking his leave. Seeing the jar, Tizzy's eyes seemed to shine with happiness as he hurriedly removed its the lid, a strong wine aroma washed over the duo making them momentarily halt as they basked in it.

"That's a good wine."

"En, wait until you taste it! It may not be as good as Crow's but it sure beats anything that's currently around!" Said Tizzy as he poured a cup for Omis before filling his as well.

*Clang*

The pair touched cups before drinking. A shade of red making it's way to Omis's face.

"Ah, Tizzy."

"Yes?" He asked as he set down his cup that was already empty.

"About my sect, you-you wouldn't happen to know what happened would you?" Inquired Omis, half expecting the answer.

"Your sect...I know that they chose to remain in your mountain waiting for your return, but some of your main disciples ended up having to join the fight, I think one of them was called uhh what was it again?" Said Tizzy as he grabbed the bridge of his nose trying to recall.

"Lu Lu?" Asked Omis excitedly, any sort of information was already greatly appreciated.

"Yes! That one! A brave little girl that one, wasn't she your direct disciple?"

"Yes..." Replied Omis gloomily.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Sensing the change in mood Tizzy hurriedly apologized before filled his cup.

Letting out a sad smile Omis replied. "It's okay, I don't believe that she'd die so easily, i'm sure she's out there somewhere."

"Eh? What do you mean out there somewhere?" Asked Tizzy confused.

"Means I don't believe she's dead?"

"No, no, I mean can you can still 'feel' her link?" He asked.

"Wait link? Addi didn't mention anything about a link?" Said Omis confused.

Facepalming, Tizzy continued.

"No wonder Addi didn't, he never had any direct disciples, to begin with!"

"Oh?"

"Listen, do you remember when you first accepted her as your disciple, the 'game' had a requirement, you had to offer her an item that represents her status as your disciple and yours as her master, correct?"

"Yes!"

"If she is still alive and holding on to that item you should be able to tell her general location, and if the heavens forbid she passed away the item will be broken."

Hearing that, Omis's brain went into overdrive as he hurriedly pulled out a small black and white amulet from his spacial storage. The amulet had a faint purple link extending from It towards the ceiling, using his divine sense, Omis was able to 'see' that the thin thread was extending up the 'Underworld's' ceiling towards a different realm!

Pushing his chair back, Omis abruptly stood up as he shouted.

"I can see it!"

Grinning, Tizzy downed another cup before speaking.

"That my friend, would mean that you're little disciple is still alive."

Taking a deep breath, Omis hurriedly pulled out more items from his storage before his expression quickly turned gloomy.

"They are all dead...all but Lu Lu..." Raising his head Omis's gaze seemed to penetrate through the ceiling and beyond the realm itself as he gazed at the direction where the purple thread was pointing at.

"I have to bring her back!" He said with resolution as his hand tightly held into the amulet.

"Woah there, calm down now Omis. You said that it leads to another realm, so it's either the mortal or heavenly one which is both too dangerous for you to go alone."

"I can't just leave here there Tizzy, I don't know why but It feels like I'm leaving...like I'm leaving my child!"

"*sigh* I know, trust me I know, I'm not telling you to leave her just wait, the raids are almost upon us if so we can help you find her if she's in the Heavenly realm if not then i'll send Addi and Leyla with you to the mortal realm to look for her, okay?"

"But..."

"Omis, she survived thousands of years by herself already what are a few more weeks!" sternly replied Tizzy, causing Omis to sit back down with a sigh before he downed his own cup.
