Chapter 2089: Don’t Go Back to Being So Proud
When Lei Shun heard the other party mention the order of the Lord of Xiqiu City, he couldn't help but snorted disdainfully, "Who the hell is he?"
Even the teleportation in Qiu Shui City has been blocked, who would care about the city lord?
He said seriously, "I know that you, Lord Huo, look down on us, but this is not something we can decide on our own."
"I just want to ask one question. We are not afraid of our clan being punished, and we dare to run away. So, Lord Huo, do you dare to take us in?"
This question really stumped Huo Jiujian. He was silent for about ten seconds before he sighed.
"I won't give you a clear answer, nor will I promise any resources. My priority is the natives of Daye City!"
This sounded like a rejection, but in fact, he was agreeing in disguise.
Not giving a clear answer is because he doesn’t want to arouse the Xiqiu City Lord’s complaints, and not promising any resources is because... who hasn’t seen refugees?
The resources of Daye City must give priority to local people. As for outsiders - you'd better bring enough resources with you.
Lei Shun also understood what he said, and his eyes lit up when he heard it, "No restrictions on identity to enter?"
"At present, only those with demonic energy are restricted from entering," Huo Jiujian answered quite openly, "but the cost of living in Daye City... is not low!"
It is normal that consumption is not low. People become cheaper when they leave their hometown, and things become more expensive when they leave!
Lei Shun thought for a moment and asked, "As for transportation..."
"Don't go there if you are so proud!" Huo Jiujian was a little annoyed. "Who can go there depends on their own ability."
It was already not easy for him to acquiesce to the accommodation of some people from Qiu Shui City. After all, this was also a slap in the face of Xi Qiu City.
Now, he would never ask about anything about transportation - if you can go, go, and if you can't go, it's none of his business.
Cold? He definitely didn't think so.
From the first day that a cultivator embarks on his practice, he should understand one reality: there is no absolute fairness in this world!
Daijialing is much closer than Daye City, but they are still from the same village and cannot accept everyone from Qiu Shui City.
Just as he was thinking about Daijialing, he heard Duan Bowen muttering to Qu Lingzhu, "That Dai Quanyan... there's something wrong!"
"I feel it!" Qu Jianlei nodded. With the knowledge of a Nascent Soul, that guy's behavior was indeed a bit short-sighted.
"He must still have a complete teleportation array there," Duan Bowen analyzed.
He has no grudge against Dai Quanyan, so how could he make things difficult for the other party for no reason?
After all, he didn't believe the reasons given by the Dai family at all - as people doing foreign trade business, what had they not seen?
The Dai family’s reasons are plausible, but Duan Bowen believes that even if what the other party said is true, they must be hiding something.
Isn't the highest level of deception to be nine truths and one lie, or...all true, without telling the key point?
He believed that the biggest possibility was that the Dai family still had a teleportation array, so when the demon attacked the array with all its might, they could escape.
As for what Dai Shuyi said about the teleportation array being destroyed, he felt that it didn't matter whether it was true or not.
If there is one teleportation array, can't there be a second one? Can a mere golden elixir really hold the greatest secret of the Yuanying family?
Hearing his analysis, Lei Shun Zhenxian couldn't help but said, "I think what this Taoist friend said is very likely."
"The Dai family has been operating this place for thousands of years, and they can even imitate the inner circulation of the small world. Can they leave a few more ways to escape?"
Huo Jiu smiled indifferently when he heard this, "Even if there is a teleportation array, so what?"
“By the time they can no longer hold on, the Cangwu Realm will have become something completely different!”
In his heart, he really looked down upon the Dai family's behavior.
Although the other party's selfish motive is out of self-protection and does not violate public order and morality, he just can't stand it.
At this point, he couldn't help but glance at Lord Qu Ling: Look at Hongye Ling, what kind of responsibility he has!
Qu Jianlei was a little confused by his look and thought that the other party was asking for his opinion.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "The teleportation array is a small matter. I feel that... the Dai family has a stronger trump card for self-protection."
"Needless to say, I am very curious, how can he recognize the things of rules?"
"That's right... too!" Huo Jiu was startled and smiled bitterly, "I actually overlooked this matter."
Everyone has experienced a lot in the past few days. At least the attitude of the Dai family is quite surprising.
Not to mention that they also had to fight against the sneak attack of the demon and track down the stone jar, but City Lord Huo actually ignored this point.
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei again, "If even the appraisers in Daye City can't identify this item, what methods would he use?"
"Maybe it was some kind of adventure," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "I'm not sure about that."
He has had many adventures of his own. It's normal for his family to have some adventures as it has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, right?
"I thought so too," Lei Shun Zhenxian replied casually, then looked at Qu Jianlei.
"This fellow Taoist has extraordinary knowledge. I wonder how I should address him?"
He really wanted to know the origins of this person whom Huo Jiujian respected so much.
Anyway, he is planning to take refuge in Daye City, so it won't hurt to ask again, right?
Qu Jianlei still did not answer. After arriving at Qiu Shui City, he entered the teleportation array and left.
Immortal Lei Shun watched them leave, and after a moment of stunned silence, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's probably from that side..."
After Qu Jianlei and his three companions were teleported to Xiqiu City, they teleported away again without even leaving the teleportation array.
In fact, their caution is not wrong.
Not long after, someone came to the teleportation array and said that the City Lord's Mansion had ordered a strict investigation of the cultivators with identities from Daye City.
——Although the transmission to Qiu Shui City has been blocked, how could the dignified Xi Qiu City Lord’s Mansion not have informants down there?
Qu Jianlei returned to Daye City and let the other three people look at the stone jar for a while before giving out spirit stones to complete the transaction.
It can be seen that everyone is a little curious about what rules are hidden in the stone jar, but no one really asks.
Lord Qu Ling has too many secrets. If there is a chance in the future, let him tell them himself.
Anyway, after this battle, everyone's relationship has made great progress, so there is no need to rush.
After Qu Jianlei put away the stone jar, he returned to Liuguang City with Duan Bowen. They had been out for quite a while, so it was time to go back.
Ten days after returning to Hongye Ridge, Mu Yu finally came out of seclusion on this day.
Her Nascent Soul's aura was not very stable yet, but she was in a hurry to communicate with her senior and could not bear it.
Since leaving the empire, she has been in seclusion most of the time, and has spent the longest time preparing for the breakthrough in the team.
When others heard that she had come out of seclusion, they also came to see her. Jing Yuexin even took the initiative to present her with a huge piece of Kunyuan jade as a gift.
This is a treasure that assists in cultivation, and it is also what she obtained in the past few years.
Previously, the team was in the empire, where could they find such cultivation resources? After all, things were different when they came to the world of cultivation.
Now most of the team’s resources are still in the hands of the boss.
But everyone also has spirit stones to spend, and if they don’t have enough, they can apply for more, so everyone has some private goods.
Jing Yuexin got this treasure by chance, and now it is just the right time to take it out as a gift.
She said that the team is currently getting on the right track step by step, and these related etiquettes will also be gradually paid attention to in the future.
Interpersonal relationships are what should be there, and as this aspect gradually improves, everyone will become more and more like real cultivators.
Upon hearing this, others followed suit and presented some gifts.
As for the number, that is very casual. We are all comrades who live and die together, and this rule is the first time.
Mu Yu didn't care about these things. She was just a little curious, "Where's the boss? Why can't I see him?"
"He is repairing the magic weapon," Jing Yuexin answered casually, "I don't know how long it will take."
At this moment, the teleportation array fluctuated and Qu Jianlei appeared.
His spiritual sense sensed it and said with relief, "Mu Yu has come out of retreat, just in time for me... Hey, why is Jiang Hui here too?"
After leaving Hongye Ridge last time, Master Jiang did not return to Zhongzhou, but went to the headquarters of the Cultivator Alliance.
Since he is the head of the Hall of Rites and Music, the relevant etiquette must be sufficient. This is all as it should be. By the way... let's open up the route.
Qu Jianlei subconsciously thought that the other party came for the upcoming discussion, "Forget it, just say I'm in seclusion."
Hongyeling does have its own tendencies, but it doesn't want to get involved in these things at all and just follows the crowd.
However, after Jiang Hui heard what Hua Xiezi said, she expressed it very directly.
"Please tell Lord Qu Ling that I have brought what he wants."
What did I want? Qu Jianlei was a little confused.
But since the other party said so, there would be no harm in meeting him - at worst, he could continue to meditate during the meeting.
Half an hour later, Jiang Hui met Qu Jianlei, whose "retreat was interrupted".
She said directly, "It is really convenient for Lord Qu Ling to travel to Zhongzhou!"
This is what happened in Qiushui City! Qu Jianlei knew it very well. When he started, he had thought of this result.
But the stone jar was of great importance, and he had used it recently, and the effect was really good, so there was nothing to regret.
The incident happened more than ten days ago, and the news should have been passed on by now. The other party only came to the door now, which shows that they are really patient.
So he said very straightforwardly, "Who doesn't have some treasures? Master Jiang, don't you think so?"
If the Dai family has treasures, then Hongye Ridge may also have them. As for the long-distance teleportation array - it's better to keep it secret for now.
"It's really you," Jiang Hui was not particularly sure, but just guessed that it must be someone from Hongye Ridge.
She asked casually, "In that case, why don't you kill the mayor of Xiqiu City?"
What happened in Xiqiu could not be concealed from the Star Palace, but they did not deal with it because of their own considerations.
But it was obvious that Master Jiang had her own preferences. She thought that the city lord was really incompetent.
And she probably thought that Hongyeling was more inclined towards ordinary people, so she asked this question.
"That's the matter of the Council of Elders," Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "We are sensible in what we do and never interfere in other people's affairs."
Hongye Ridge was already conspicuous enough, and he didn't want to become the target of public criticism at all.
