Chapter 2087 Who is bothering me?
There were too many demons besieging Daijialing, and the demon domain was too large.
In the end, everyone still failed to completely eliminate all the demons - this was an almost impossible task.
Although Qu Jianlei chased for a long distance, one Nascent Soul Demon finally escaped.
There is also a Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon, and it is suspected that some of its remains have escaped.
Half of the Jindan demons escaped, thanks to the continuous attack of more than 30 warships.
Otherwise, more demons would escape, after all, there were too few cultivators surrounding them.
During this process, the Qiu Shui City team led by the True Immortal Lei Shun also took action.
Regardless of whether they were willing in their hearts or not, many demons were heading straight for them, and they had no choice but to take action.
However, judging from the number of demons killed and injured, the cultivators of Qiu Shui City were indeed not ambiguous.
The demon retreated, but the warship was still clearing away the remaining demonic energy - this was not a task that could be completed overnight.
Seeing that the demon had been dealt with almost completely, the protective formation of Daijialing was opened, and a Yuanying and five Jindan walked out.
Lei Shun Zhenxian looked at a Jindan in astonishment, "Gao Xi... are you still alive?"
Gao Xi was the Golden Core of Qiu Shui City. He went missing during an exploration mission, and only one severely injured Foundation Establishment cultivator escaped from the entire team.
Lei Shun never expected that this person was actually alive and living in Daijialing.
"Greetings, sir." Gao Xi's face turned a little pale. He raised his hand and bowed, "Thanks to Dai Jialing for saving me and healing my wounds."
It is reasonable for human cultivators to help each other in the face of the invasion of demons.
But his appearance at this moment obviously had some purpose.
Putting aside the reminiscing of the cultivators from Qiu Shui City, the Nascent Soul looked at Huo Jiujian and bowed calmly.
"Dai Quanyan has met City Lord Huo... I wonder what the City Lord is referring to when he said the incident happened in the Star Palace?"
Huo Jiujian looked at him with a little surprise, "You seem a little impatient!"
"There is nothing that cannot be said to others," Dai Quanyan said very bluntly, "I think City Lord Huo has misunderstood."
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei and the other two, "Having said this, I would also like to especially thank these fellow Taoists for coming to help."
"It's better to be a misunderstanding," Huo Jiu said expressionlessly, "Master Wu Yao from the Weapon Refining Hall... do you understand?"
"I don't understand at all," Dai Quanyan answered bluntly, "A mere golden elixir is not enough!"
The gap in cultivation cannot be made up by status at all, and he spoke very naturally.
Huo Jiujian was too lazy to say more to him. He raised his hand and waved at Qu Jianlei, "You go ahead and talk."
Qu Jianlei raised his hand and calculated, then looked at Dai Quanyan calmly, "The cause and effect is on you. Did you get a stone jar a while ago?"
When Dai Quanyan saw him calculating, his expression changed slightly. None of those guys in Zhongzhou who were good at calculating were easy to mess with.
But when he heard about the stone jar, his eyes widened, "You mean... that?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him expressionlessly, "You still insist now, does it have nothing to do with this matter?"
"I bought that stone jar from the market!" Dai Quanyan looked indignant, "Someone was selling it, and I bought it...was that wrong?"
"Just admit it," Qu Jianlei stopped talking and glanced at Huo Jiujian.
If he doesn't want to rob, then the next thing will be left to City Lord Huo.
Huo Jiujian really spoke up, "The stone jar first appeared at the auction house in Daye City, and it was bought by Master Wu Yao..."
"Later, he was ambushed and severely injured, and the stone jar was lost. Immortal He Gen from the Weapon Refining Hall was furious and offered a reward for the murderer."
Dai Quanyan looked calm and unconcerned at first.
But when he heard words like "Daya City Auction", "seriously injured", "Immortal He Gen", his expression gradually became solemn.
After hearing these words, he already knew what his family was involved in, and frowned slightly, "This... I don't know."
Huo Jiu smiled disdainfully, "You really don't know?"
"I knew it was a treasure," Dai Quanyan frowned, "but I didn't expect it to have such a big cause and effect."
"It's no use telling me this," Huo Jiujian said calmly, "but don't you think it's strange that you can get such a treasure?"
Dai Quanyan was stunned when he heard this, and nodded slowly after a long while, "What you said does make sense."
"I didn't know what I was thinking at the time. I just wanted to go to the market and found this rule treasure."
"Involving the rules?" Everyone else was stunned when they heard this.
Even Huo Jiujian frowned slightly: Damn it, it is necessary to re-evaluate the industry of appraisers in Daye City.
But he still kept his voice calm, "So... can you remember who suggested you go to the market?"
“I can’t remember,” Dai Quanyan shook his head, “Maybe this person really exists, but I didn’t sense it.”
At his level of cultivation, he is very clear that some accidental situations are not accidental.
However, the fact that he could be tricked without realizing it was truly extraordinary.
Huo Jiu nodded slightly when he heard this, "Then I want to take the stone jar away now, do you have any objection?"
"I shouldn't have any objections," Dai Quanyan replied solemnly, "but... I plan to hand it over to the Academy of Arts."
"Oh?" Huo Jiujian frowned slightly, "Who in the academy did you hand it over to?"
"It's just an idea," Dai Quanyan replied solemnly, "I haven't confirmed the details yet."
He was well aware of the sensitivity of his actions, so he explained seriously, "City Lord Huo also knows that I don't like the Star Palace."
"Who are you going to give it to?" Huo Jiujian suddenly became angry.
"I haven't thought about it yet," Dai Quanyan answered bluntly, "This is something the Dai family shouldn't have. Why not try another chance!"
"Now this opportunity is gone," Huo Jiujian said decisively, "It is enough to help you break through the Heavenly Demon Realm once."
“Demon Realm…” Dai Quanyan touched his forehead and sighed helplessly, “Okay, thank you very much, I appreciate it!”
At this point, everyone was happy, but Duan Bowen spoke up.
He asked curiously, "Wait a minute, I feel like you seem very reluctant, are you feeling wronged?"
Hearing this, Dai Quanyan couldn't help but said, "It's not that we are wronged, but who are we bothering by hiding?"
"Hide your heads?" Duan Bowen laughed, "How long do you think you can hide?"
When he met Qu Jianlei for the first time, he seemed quite frivolous, as if he didn't think about anything and just acted recklessly based on his own strength.
However, that was just another side of him - he was doing well in Dongsheng at the time and there was really no need to think so much.
But in fact, he was able to do informal foreign trade and his mind was much more flexible than that of ordinary people.
If we really talk about the stage and the tricks, he is a little stronger than the average Nascent Soul.
The reason he asked this question now was because he keenly felt that the other party didn't seem to be particularly happy about the rescue...?
As a person involved, Dai Quanyan felt his intention more clearly.
After a moment's hesitation, he replied with a wry smile, "The Dai family is of course very grateful for your assistance."
However, this statement... felt a bit forced, because he believed in his heart that Daijialing could still hold on for a while.
This sounds a bit unbelievable. Being surrounded by the Demonic Realm, how can one still be so carefree?
However, Dai Quanyan’s answer was: It was true that more than 300,000 of his own people were besieged, but the supplies were sufficiently prepared.
The Dai family has been running this place for thousands of years, and they are not just going through the motions. They have built enough infrastructure within the mountain protection formation.
These facilities can ensure self-sufficiency in daily necessities for a considerable period of time.
Dai Quanyan did not say how long he could last, but from his tone, it could be heard that ten to eight years should be no problem.
Even... a hundred or eighty years is not impossible.
Simply put, generation after generation of the Dai family has invested a lot of energy in building the ancestral land into a solid little world.
No one knows what happened to the ancestors of the Dai family, but it is certain that their sense of crisis is extremely strong.
Some of the facilities have not been opened for thousands of years, and even Dai Shuyi, a Jindan, is not very clear about them.
However, at this critical moment, after the facility was put into use, it was found to be extremely useful.
So the Dai family came up with an idea to hide honestly in the mountain protection formation, hide long enough, and then observe the changes in the outside world.
At the very least, after they hid in the formation, they felt much safer than outside.
I have to admit that when a disaster strikes, there are too many strange and bizarre ideas.
However, there was another very important factor that led to the Dai family choosing to remain dormant, and that was that the demons did not vigorously attack the mountain protection formation.
At the beginning, the devil also attacked the mountain protection formation, but the formation was extremely solid, so the devil quickly gave up.
At the beginning, the Dai family also sent cultivators to the Demonic Realm to try to open up a passage to the outside world.
The attempt failed, but the most amazing thing was that they paid a considerable price and captured several demons.
After torturing and interrogating Tianmo, the Dai family roughly figured out that this demonic territory was a transit point for Tianmo's plan.
Their current demand is to stabilize here, so they are not in a hurry to attack the main formation.
Of course, if there is no food in the future, they may launch an attack on the formation.
When Qu Jianlei heard that the other party had actually managed to capture Tianmo and interrogate him, he couldn't help but feel a little curious: Is this how they did it?
However, seeing the indifferent looks on the faces of others, he was too embarrassed to ask and could only sigh inwardly.
This genuine immortal cultivator is so awesome that he actually has such wild methods.
Simply put, everyone in the Dai family knew that their family was in great crisis, and yet... they were relatively safe!
The demons may attack the formation in the future, but not now, and they are expanding rapidly in the Cangwu Realm.
It cannot be said that it is the mentality of "I would rather die than let my friend die", anyway, these people feel that... everything is pretty good now.
As for what will happen in the future, who can be sure? Maybe the upper world will send reinforcements at any time!
This kind of mentality is supposed to be negative and undesirable, but now the outside world is full of demons, so how can it be good?
