Chapter 2070: Sensation Again
When Immortal Zhiyuan heard the words "quota for the upper realm", his expression couldn't help but change slightly.
The conditions offered by the Star Palace are full of sincerity, but this does not mean that Hongyeling can really make demands at will.
For example, the Xingchen Palace has a magic treasure to protect the palace. If Hongyeling really asks for it, then he doesn’t know how to behave himself!
——The Star Palace still has its Taoist tradition. Why don’t we give it all to you and let our Taoist tradition be cut off.
The quota to go to the upper realm is definitely not as important as the Taoist tradition and the magical treasure to guard the temple, but it is not much less sensitive.
Zhiyuan Zhenxian smiled helplessly, "I don't know much about the affairs of the upper realm, so I dare not agree without authorization."
"But I've heard that there shouldn't be any quotas. If you want to go there, it's up to the higher realm to decide."
"That's meaningless," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "We also have a fourth-level spiritual vein in Dongsheng."
"But it's independent! It's a peak fourth-order spiritual vein!" Zhiyuan Zhenxian tried his best to persuade, "and it also has countless skills!"
Everyone in Dongsheng knows Hongyeling's desire for martial arts.
Qu Jianlei shook his head. "It's hard to leave our hometown. We have deep feelings for Dongsheng."
Is that so? Zhiyuan Zhenxian was highly skeptical of this statement. He was more inclined to believe that Hongyeling did not originate from the local area.
Because this group of people...are too incompatible with Dongsheng, no matter from which aspect.
"Master Qu Ling, the Star Palace has no compulsory obligations to you. This condition is higher than the thirty-six cities!"
In Zhongzhou’s thirty-six first-tier cities, each city lord is equivalent to a local emperor who can do whatever he wants in his own territory.
But this authority comes from the authorization of the Council of Elders and the recognition of the Hall of Stars.
Therefore, the lords of the thirty-six cities also bear corresponding obligations.
Including but not limited to regularly handing over corresponding property and responding to relevant calls for manpower and material resources...
However, Hongyeling does not need to fulfill these obligations. The only thing it needs to do is to cooperate with the Star Palace to stop this demon invasion.
The Star Palace does not think that this request is an obligation. How can the eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned?
Therefore, the True Immortal Zhiyuan really believed that the conditions he offered were already very generous, and the lords of the thirty-six cities would be envious!
"In order to obtain these conditions, I also said a lot of good things for you!"
"I don't ask you to thank me, I just ask that you can preserve more vitality for Zhongzhou!"
This is true, he did contribute, otherwise how could the Star Palace, which is so far away in Zhongzhou, offer such generous conditions?
"Then I would like to thank Brother Zhiyuan for his kind words," Qu Jianlei raised his hand and spoke lightly.
"However, the feint attack of the demon may turn into a main attack at any time, so we have to guard against it... I also want to preserve some vitality for Dongsheng."
Seeing that he was not willing to give in, Zhiyuan Zhenxian became a little anxious. "It's not impossible to turn a feint attack into a main attack, but I'm already scared of you!"
"Who can tell for sure?" Qu Jianlei said sternly, "To be honest, even if there is a quota for the upper realm, I may not go to Zhongzhou."
"What?" Zhiyuan Zhenxian opened his eyes wide in astonishment, "You can go to the upper realm... but you don't want to go?"
This statement was not only arrogant, but also directly overturned his cognition - I can't even get a number, and you actually don't care?
However, Qu Jianlei did not look down on it. What he wanted to do was to go to the upper realm, so he decided to go as a team.
If it were just him, it would be really boring. Everyone has been following him for at least decades. Who could he leave behind?
It's just that he needs to know this reason himself, otherwise once it gets out, the team members will become his weak spot.
So he smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is just one of the conditions. Since you are so embarrassed, let's not talk about the others."
"Then tell me everything," Zhiyuan Zhenxian made up his mind, "I'll report it all at once."
"Let's report this first," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "You don't know much about the upper realm... I don't want you to be in a difficult situation."
Being despised...Zhiyuan Zhenxian read the other party's subtext.
However, there was really nothing he could do. He was indeed in such a position in the Star Palace. It was just a nominal position and he didn't even have much real power.
In the words of Immortal Yongheng, he is just a show-off. Even the deputy head of the Equipment Refining Hall, He Gen, is much stronger than him.
However, Zhenxian Zhiyuan didn't care too much. He was not a broad-minded person, but was he qualified to care about such things?
Seriously, he learned about Hongyeling's attitude and reported it honestly, so naturally he made a contribution.
As for the fact that the conditions set by Qu Lingzhu were a bit outrageous, what did that have to do with him? It was enough for him to ensure the timely and accurate transmission of information.
What surprised Zhiyuan Zhenxian was that after the message was passed on, there was no reply for several days.
On the contrary, Hongye Ridge gradually became busy because more and more demons were infiltrating into Dongsheng Continent.
Each group of Heavenly Demons is not large in size. Occasionally, there are three or four Golden Core Heavenly Demons in one group, which can shock the whole Dongsheng.
But the number is too large. At the most, there can be more than 30 cases a day.
For a city as huge as Dongsheng, thirty cases a day is not a lot, but if one wants to kill the demon, one or two days is not enough.
If it is discovered too late, the demon will have grown powerful and may even trick the cultivators who come to encircle and suppress it, so we must be careful.
Although there are many cultivators in Dongsheng, most of them have their own sphere of influence, and they prioritize protecting their own territory.
As for matters outside the territory, if conditions permit, we may try to help, but when it is inconvenient, we won’t care about it much.
Especially as the infiltration of demons becomes more and more frequent, these cultivators are worried and under great pressure every day, and are less likely to go out easily.
Fortunately, Hongyeling made a prediction about the future situation, so everyone has hope in their hearts, otherwise they would be even more panicked.
And thanks to the mundane communication equipment they provided, people living in remote areas can also send out warnings in time.
However, because most of the infiltration of demons was able to be reported in time, the supporting mobile combat forces were stretched to the limit.
Putting aside the relevant costs, it is impossible for these firefighters to fight continuously. They need to rest for a period of time after each battle.
This is not only a matter of physical and mental fatigue, but also requires observation to see if you have been infected by evil spirits - some evil spirits are very hidden.
Although no accidents have occurred so far, no one dares to ignore this link.
Hongyeling has already issued a warning, and no one dares to take it lightly. Even if the probability is extremely low, if it happens, the consequences will be disastrous.
But from another perspective, the entire Dongsheng's mobile combat capability is sufficiently guaranteed to take care of these corners.
However, under the current circumstances, there is really not much mobile force.
There are not many people in Hongye Ridge, but there are many high-level combat forces.
Moreover, they have rich experience in dealing with demons and can give people enough sense of security.
At the beginning, everyone felt embarrassed because Hongyeling had done so much for Dongsheng, both in terms of manpower and material resources.
It was not until another Demonic Realm was discovered in the former sphere of influence of Immortal Qiya.
This Demonic Realm is the third one discovered by Dongsheng. The second one appeared on the outskirts of the Seven Stars Sect’s sphere of influence.
Dongsheng is indeed not the main attack direction of Tianmo, but once there is a weak point in space, Tianmo's greed cannot be controlled.
The Seven Stars Gate did a good job in dealing with the Demon Realm, but Qiya’s former subordinates were a little overwhelmed by the Demon Realm.
The only true immortal in the force has gone to Hongye Ridge to serve as an attendant. Without a Nascent Soul to take charge, the Demon Realm will be a big problem.
They were forced to come to Qiya: The Alliance has not taken back this land, so when you regain your freedom, you will have to go back, right?
Qi Ya Zhenxian used to think about going back, but now... she is a little inclined not to go back.
After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places.
But even without mentioning how difficult it was for her to build her career in the past, she couldn't give up completely on those subordinates who once followed her.
So she applied to Lord Qu Ling for permission to go out and deal with the Demon Realm, and was approved.
In order to prevent her from getting into any accidents, Qu Jianlei also sent Bentley, Flower Scorpion and Rhine to go there.
Not only can the three Jindan form the Sancai Formation, but they are also equipped with various talismans and other protective measures by the team.
It took them five days to razze the Demon Realm without any accidents.
But once something like this started, it was hard to go back, and requests for help from Hongyeling came one after another.
It didn't take long. Except for Qu Jianlei, Jing Yuexin and Jiao Daoren, everyone else had been sent out.
It was at this time that Immortal Zhiyuan came again and brought the latest response from the Star Palace.
In addition to the conditions they had agreed to before, they were also willing to pay two Nascent Soul magic weapons, two sets of out-of-body exercises, and ten sets of Nascent Soul exercises.
As long as Hongyeling agrees to move in, this is the basic condition, and other conditions can be proposed.
As for the quota for the passage to the upper realm, the Star Hall said it would actively consider it.
As long as Hongye Ridge can perform well enough in the battle against the demon invasion, the Star Palace will create the conditions.
Although no definite answer was given in the end, the conditions were indeed improved again.
Zhiyuan Zhenxian said: In order to agree to Hongyeling’s request, there was a long argument in the hall, so the reply was late.
It can be seen that he is a little exhausted. He has spent too much energy on matchmaking.
However, Qu Jianlei’s answer was that it depends on the situation, as Dongsheng currently cannot do without people.
His behavior shows that this matter is not impossible to discuss, but at the same time, he obviously did not focus on Zhongzhou.
This made Zhiyuan Zhenxian extremely disappointed, but fortunately, the other party gave him some living words in the end instead of rejecting him outright.
Two days later, someone asked Hongyeling to deal with the newly appeared demon, but this time they were rejected.
Hongyeling said that someone in the team had to go through a tribulation again, so they had to take comprehensive precautions.
When this news came out, Dongsheng became a sensation again.
You know, ever since the last time someone underwent a tribulation in Hongye Ridge, which attracted a large number of demons, no one in Dongsheng has been able to form a pill since then.
To be honest, after seeing the overwhelming number of demons, who would dare to take the risk to survive the calamity?
