Chapter 2231 Alien Invasion
"Wait, Master Qu Ling," Master Yulin stopped Qu Jianlei from hesitating, "It's impossible to bring the entire team up with you!"
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, "So... it's the three of us?"
"It wouldn't hurt to add one or two more," the Third Pavilion Master finally spoke up, "but the entire team... there are too many people!"
"I understand," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Then forget it, he is just a disciple of the Great Venerable, and it may not be true."
"It should... be true," the Third Pavilion Master muttered softly, but said nothing more.
Without a strong enough background, who would dare to agree to take someone to the upper realm and then inquire about the news?
But he knew Lord Qu Ling's character very well, and some things were better left unsaid!
However, he didn't say anything, and Qu Jianlei thought of another thing, "Would you like to trade your family's Thunder Rules?"
Lao Ben's Ningying seems to be not quite right. Although it is only the rule of thunder and not the origin of thunder, it is better to have it than not.
The Third Pavilion Master smiled at him, "No need to trade... I can give it away for free!"
Want clues about Haoran Sect? Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "Forget it, I'm not used to taking advantage of others."
Just then, figures flashed and Jing Yuexin and Jiang Hui appeared.
Hall Master Jiang looked a little excited and spoke directly, "Master Qu Ling, there is a bounty order from the upper realm, searching for two Nascent Souls..."
These two Nascent Soul cultivators are also from the upper realm. They went out for some business and lost contact, so the upper realm is urgently searching for them.
No one said what happened or why we lost contact, probably because of some inconvenience.
But the upper realm gave a generous reward: the origin of the five elements!
Does it sound like that? But it’s not!
Even a True Immortal like Bu Hu, who can lead the Yuanying Team to investigate in the lower world, cannot just take out a Five Elements Origin.
Until now, Fairy Bu still owes Lord Qu Ling a debt, so this can definitely be considered a generous reward.
At least Jiang Hui thought it was worth it - it was not easy for the five major forces to obtain an origin.
The most important thing is, "Those two Nascent Souls are stranded in the void near this world, which is just the right time for you to go out."
Qu Jianlei was surprised to hear this and said, "Can't you from the Star Palace also enter the void?"
There are two passages from Cangwu Realm to the void, one is the sealing formation in Dongsheng, and the other is in the Star Palace.
If the passage in Xiniu Huaizhou has not been completely closed, then there are three passage entrances.
"Someone has already gone to the void," Jiang Hui replied, "I thought you needed the origin, so I came here to tell you."
"Thank you for your hard work," Qu Jianlei replied with a smile, "But for this kind of thing, I... am too lazy to get involved. Ask others."
He almost refused on behalf of the team, but thought that others might want to make some extra money, so he didn't refuse completely.
However, he expressed no interest and others also declined.
The paranoid one said frankly that even if he went out specially for this small reward, he might not be able to find it, so who was he looking down on?
However, after the news spread, several forces in Dongsheng became interested: that is an origin!
Qianshou and Keliang Zhenxian even came to Hongye Ridge to find Qiya - how about we go together and try our luck?
To be honest, Fairy Ya was a little tempted. This was a true legendary item. Not to mention buying and selling it, there was not even much information related to it.
But the team members were indifferent to this. She asked to leave to go hunting. Isn't that a bit too much?
So she could only politely decline, saying that the team might be busy at any time and she had to wait on call.
A total of eleven True Immortals from the entire Dongsheng Continent went out into the void to look for someone.
There were thirty or forty Nascent Souls participating in the search in Zhongzhou, but the overall proportion was far less than that in Dongsheng.
But it is not surprising, as the latter's resources are relatively scarce. The key is that the demons are under effective control, so you can go out with confidence.
Half a month later, news came from the Forgotten Peninsula that the team led by Immortal Ji Ken had discovered mutations in three small realms.
I have to admit that this guy is quite good. It is said that the five major forces that explored with him all felt it was an eye-opener.
Ji Ken was really tricky when assigning tasks, and these cultivators were originally full of complaints.
But when everyone realized that his discovery was something that the five major forces had not previously known, there was no more resentment.
Although each company suffered some losses, why not see some scenes that have never been seen before?
Ji Ken also has methods for doing things. He will never say anything that he shouldn't, but he will occasionally let something out to show off his true colors.
As for Master Peng’s disappearance, it happened in a small world where a mutation occurred.
Immortal Ji Ken did not stay there for long. As the agreed time had expired, he waited for a short while before leaving.
Therefore, there is no authoritative explanation for Master Peng’s disappearance.
In this regard, Immortal Ji Ken has a very good sense of propriety. He explores while being highly vigilant.
Many unknown situations will cause harm to the exploring cultivator, but once he discovers a certain truth, he will stop.
He would not force the cultivators to get to the bottom of the truth, especially when they might face potential danger.
In Qu Jianlei's opinion, this is a typical operation in officialdom, which he did not expect to reappear among immortal cultivators.
These news were all brought by the cultivators from the Sea of Bitterness.
In order to prove Ku Hai's innocence, Xi Miao followed Ji Ken into the forbidden area, and only other Yuanying could come to collect the repair fluid.
However, Miao is one of the five leaders. He is not responsible for the exploration mission ahead, but only for protecting the retreat.
That's why he was able to spread the news and let Ku Hai's Nascent Soul inform Hongye Ridge.
But at the same time, Master Miao also noticed that Immortal Ji Ken did not prevent the leakage of information.
"Three small realms are abnormal... Hehe," Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "Is this deliberately passed on to us?"
He was very familiar with the officialdom's thinking. Since threats didn't work, he would lure them with benefits!
The Yuanying from Ku Hai collected 500 doses of repair fluid, and the deadline for the remaining 300 doses was also agreed upon. The mission went extremely smoothly.
So he said with a smile, "The Master said that he would help Qu Lingzhu keep an eye on it. After all, Cangwu belongs to the Cangwu people!"
This was Ku Hai's deliberate show of goodwill. As the leader, Immortal Miao could guess that Hongyeling was unwilling to accept the Forgotten Peninsula.
Qu Jianlei could sense his intentions, so he naturally wouldn't be stiff in response. After finishing his business, he started chatting with the other party again.
He was rarely so enthusiastic towards others, but it was not for the purpose of asking flattering words.
He wanted to use this behavior to hint to the boss Miao: Your promise... I am very interested!
As the two were chatting, Duo Gan flashed in and said, "Boss, there's a change in the sealing formation... There are aliens approaching!"
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei frowned, "Isn't this the business of the Cultivator Alliance?"
"The Cultivator Alliance... Oh, don't mention it," Duogan spread his hands, "They're all out hunting!"
Her words were a bit exaggerated. Not all of them went. Only five people left, but among them were three deacons.
The Immortal Zhiyuan, who was in charge of communications in Zhongzhou, also went with them.
Now the communication between Zhongzhou and Dongsheng is smooth, and only the Immortal Haihe is still maintaining contact between the two sides in case of emergency.
As a result, most of the affairs of the Cultivator Alliance have been basically suspended.
The alliance didn't have much to do originally, so they hoped that they wouldn't encounter any major problems.
But now that we have faced such a major event, not only are the institutions a little unable to move, but they also do not have enough strength to operate.
At present, the only places in Dongsheng where a large number of powerful people can be found are Hongye Ridge and the Demon Circle Array.
Qu Jianlei was a little speechless after hearing this, "So they went hunting, and now their house has been robbed, and they want us to help?"
"Master Qu Ling, please save Dongsheng!" A divine consciousness descended, it was the alliance's rotating deacon Yuan Yi Zhenxian.
This guy came to Hongye Ridge and while contacting the Hongye Ridge mountain gate, he released his spiritual sense to inform his surroundings.
Qu Jianlei frowned when he heard this. This kind of moral blackmail was what he hated the most.
But now Hongyeling’s character has been established and is deeply rooted in people’s hearts—an alien killer and a guardian of the human race.
So this is quite annoying.
Fortunately, Jia Shuiqing showed up in time and released her divine sense, "If the aliens attack, we, Hongyeling, will take action."
"But what do you mean by coming here and shouting, Immortal Yuan Yi? Do you mean that you are qualified to command Hongye Ridge?"
“I dare not!” Yuan Yi Zhenxian released his divine consciousness to the surroundings in a mighty manner, “It’s just that the procedures for your mountain gate are a bit complicated.”
"Hey, do you still think you are qualified to comment?" Jia Shuiqing snorted coldly, "This is our rule!"
"Hongyeling will be ready to go soon. To prevent others from thinking they are afraid of you, we will go again in half a year!"
"Oh, don't," Yuan Yi Zhenxian was dumbfounded, "It's imminent!"
He used his spiritual sense to release the message, and he did have the intention of moral blackmail.
But he didn't want to show off his authority, but because he knew that asking for help this time would definitely make the other party unhappy.
The news has spread that Hongye Ridge doesn't care about the Immortal Ji Ken, and it seems that they don't care about the upper realm either.
Now, the Cultivator Alliance is short of manpower and has come to a standstill due to the bounty from the higher realm, so they have to seek emergency assistance.
Given Hongyeling's unruly nature, it is highly likely that they will not go out willingly. He is being forced into a corner, right?
"Then you go first," Jia Shuiqing replied calmly, "Just hold on for half a year!"
"Fellow Daoist Jia, please stop joking," said Immortal Yuan Yi with a bitter face, "I really can't wait... Can I apologize?"
"That's all you can do!" Jia Shuiqing snorted disdainfully, "Just do the formalities yourself!"
Yuan Yi Zhenxian was completely ashamed now, but Duo Gan was still a little unwilling to accept it, "This bad habit is all caused by habit!"
Seeing this, the Ku Hai Yuan Ying who was watching from the sidelines couldn't help but secretly gasp in amazement: What kind of arrogant and brave generals are these people in Hongye Ridge!
An hour later, Yuan Yi Zhenxian met Jia Shuiqing, who was as honest as he could be.
However, he could not suppress his eagerness.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Jia, you can't blame me. The alien race that attacked us is exactly the same octopus that appeared before!"
