Chapter 659 - 659 Thirty Daoist of a Thousand Yuan
659: Chapter Thirty: Daoist of a Thousand Yuan 659: Chapter Thirty: Daoist of a Thousand Yuan This Southern Border Demon Cleansing, for now, is divided into three routes.
Twenty treasure ships set off from the Imperial City, each heading to different cities along the South Border, according to their respective camps, fighting their own battles.
The Ten Thousand Great Mountains of the South Border are filled with layers of toxic miasma, with perilous terrain.
For the Da Chu Practitioners…
although they could fly with sword control, it is extremely dangerous.
Without reaching the Qi-controlling Realm, it is nearly impossible to resist the erosion of the “poison miasma.”
Although the Three Great Sects have expressed their “submission” to the Imperial City, they still cannot be fully trusted.
The evil cultivators hiding in the South Border are lawless fugitives.
The treasure ship Xie Xuanyi was on eventually landed in front of Lingqu City.
Together with some aristocratic families from Qing State and sect disciples.
This front is led by the holy land of Qing State aristocratic families and the Taoist Yuqing Pavilion focusing on the attack, entering from the west side, and is referred to as the “Southwestern Front.”
Yuqing Pavilion Master Shu Ning did not come in person.
Therefore, Ye Qinglian became the nominal overseer leader of the Southwestern Front.
When four magnificent treasure ships hovered over the wilderness outside the city, the City Lord of Lingqu City was already waiting with his people below.
The treasure ships came from the Great Chu Imperial City.
In the eyes of Lingqu City Lord, the “big shots” on these treasure ships were like luminous moons in the sky.
Lingqu City prepared a grand banquet, saying it was to welcome everyone and wash away the dust.
Xie Xuanyi excused himself and did not attend.
In his view, with the impending battle and not yet having a confrontation with the Paperman Sect, starting to hold a celebratory banquet was truly absurd.
He really disliked it.
…
…
After nightfall, Lingqu City was brightly lit and bustling with people.
Although this small city was close to the South Border, it was full of common life, with vendors’ cries echoing endlessly in the streets and alleys.
Before the fall of Emperor Chu, he left extremely stringent laws specifically for eradicating evil cultivators.
Once evil cultivators were found within the Chu Country, any cultivator could directly kill them without reporting!
Generous rewards were bestowed afterward!
In those years, there was no need for “demon cleansing,” as the South Border was in complete order.
The evil cultivators of the Three Great Sects all hid within their sects, not daring to step out…
After Emperor Chu’s fall, with Ren Shou Palace Master taking hold of the government, these evil cultivators got a slight respite, but the shadow of fear left by Emperor Chu still existed, not daring to act recklessly within Chu Realm.
This maintained the peace and prosperity of this small city.
Xie Xuanyi walked alone in the streets and alleys.
This was not his first time coming to this Lingqu City.
After killing Master Chi Hun, he brought Jiang Huang northward and also visited here.
Counting carefully,
it has been a year.
This second lifetime has passed so quickly.
It felt as if he had just awakened in Yuzhu Town yesterday.
Xie Xuanyi arrived at the busiest and most prosperous tavern, Bright Moon Tower, in Lingqu City…
He didn’t sit in the hall, nor did he book a private room; he sat at the top of the octagonal pavilion in the tavern, overseeing the entire Lingqu City.
Not far away was the City Lord Mansion where the celebratory banquet was being held, with many treasure ship cultivators enjoying themselves there.
This night scene was illuminated by numerous lights.
But in the most bustling center, there was darkness.
Xie Xuanyi sat in this darkness, enjoying the tranquility.
At this moment,
Xie Xuanyi’s divine thought spread out, almost covering the entire Lingqu City…
Thanks to Chen Chong’s “secrecy,” no one yet knew his true strength, whether it was the intensity of his divine thought, physical body, or his understanding of the Tao Realm, he was already above Ye Qinglian.
Every figure in the City Lord Mansion,
Xie Xuanyi could “see” clearly.
The City Lord of Lingqu City seemed to understand worldly affairs well.
This banquet, to curry favor, even made Ye Qinglian drink a lot.
“Brother Xie, did you arrive safely in Lingqu City?”
At this moment, the Ruyi Order trembled, it was a message from Jiang Qihu.
The Imperial City Department handles information regarding the Four Realms.
Jiang Qihu naturally knew that the southwestern treasure ship had already arrived, and that foolish tiger couldn’t hide his intentions: “By the way…
what did you say to Ye Qinglian during the day?
Why did her attitude towards me change?
This woman just invited me to go on a trip together after the demon cleansing, it’s unbelievable!”
It seemed Ye Qinglian had indeed drunk too much…
Some ran, some chased, some were destined to have no escape.
Xie Xuanyi pretended not to see this message, deciding not to reply to Jiang Qihu.
At this moment,
The Ruyi Order trembled a second time.
Just when Xie Xuanyi subconsciously decided to ignore it, he suddenly paused.
This message was from Chen Jingxuan.
“The City Lord of Lingqu City, Zong Bi, has cultivated the ‘Soul Tethering Technique’ from the Hehuan Sect.”
A single message,
made Xie Xuanyi involuntarily stand up.
The banner of the tavern flapped in the wind.
He stood in the darkness, gazing at the City Lord Mansion again, frowning at the Lingqu City Lord who was mingling with the guests…
This City Lord’s cultivation was not inferior, already entering the Yin God Realm seven or eight years ago.
Though his strength was enough, he was “ambitionless,” always stationed in this remote southern small city.
No wonder the icy Ye Qinglian would drink so much.
The Soul Tethering Technique could make people lower their guard.
“Should I kill him?”
Xie Xuanyi’s divine thought swept over, roughly confirming the City Lord’s cultivation realm, roughly in the fifth or sixth realm of the Yin God Realm.
Even if he could gather up a dharma, he couldn’t withstand a blow from the Martial Arts Divine Embryo.
“No need.”
Chen Jingxuan’s voice was as calm as the breeze and clouds: “I only mentioned it to you…
I heard the Lingqu City Lord hosted a banquet tonight, and many people attended.
I suppose you wouldn’t attend this kind of occasion.”
After a pause,
Chen Jingxuan added: “If I guess correctly, you must have found a quiet and uninhabited dark place.
The ‘Bright Moon Tower’ in Lingqu City has a nice view, if I were you, I would choose to enjoy the moon on the top floor of Bright Moon Tower alone.”
