Chapter 2621 Is this the Great Khan? (Second Update)
For cultivators of great virtue, although Qu Zhenzun has returned, his return and subsequent disappearance clearly indicates a significant loss.
Therefore, if the Merchant Alliance and the cultivators of the Three Realms do not give an explanation, the Venerable Houde will not let them off the hook.
In fact, this is largely related to the pressure that the four camps had put on Houde in the past; everyone had kept their grievances to themselves.
At that time, although there were quite a few True Venerables of Great Virtue, no one was instigating trouble, and many True Venerables were still in other worlds.
Now that the True Venerables have returned and want to participate in the Dao Debate, they discover that the main character of the debate has been ambushed.
Who could tolerate this any longer, both inside and outside the sect? Not to mention that the Lingyun Sect had also intervened.
As a result, all the old grudges that had accumulated in the past erupted, leading to numerous fights.
As a recognized "good friend" of Qu Zhenzun, Tianli naturally felt obligated to help in this situation.
His clone couldn't help but glance at Qu Zhenzun as he spoke, "There are quite a lot of people, everyone is really looking forward to seeing you, are you going?"
To be honest, Qu Jianlei was also a little tempted when he heard this.
Although the True Venerable One is high above, he is still a human being, with individual joys and sorrows, and he also enjoys being in the thick of things.
Not to mention that this incident was caused by using his name.
As for the great lord who abducted him, to be honest, it's unlikely that he came from the Merchant Alliance, but the suspicion of the Three Realms is indeed very strong.
Although the Great Lord lived for over ten thousand years, outsiders might perceive him as having a very long lifespan, but that may not actually be the case.
What kind of noble family would have nothing better to do than wander around Houde and happen to stumble upon a discussion of Taoism?
However, although he was somewhat tempted, Qu Jianlei really couldn't agree to it.
He didn't even need to think to guess how chaotic the Fourth Camp was; he estimated that even if Ling Yun intervened, he could only barely maintain order.
If he were to rush over there now, it wouldn't just be a matter of the hilltop anymore; it would be tantamount to raising the flag of rebellion!
Of course, the most important thing is, "I need to check on Fairy Jing's condition. I appreciate everyone's good intentions."
"Qu Zhenzun's loyalty to his old friends is truly admirable!" Tianli's clone gave a thumbs up.
He was actually not good at socializing, and his straightforward personality, coupled with his background as a rogue cultivator, caused him a lot of trouble.
If it weren't for his temper, he wouldn't have gotten into this deadly battle with the Pixiu.
But then, he couldn't wait to ask, "Everyone also wants to know, when can we participate in the discussion?"
"It's not decided yet," Qu Jianlei glanced at him, "Given our relationship, what's the point of you getting involved or not?"
My eldest son, Jing, is trying to improve his skills here. It's too formal to say this.
"That's not what I meant," Tianli chuckled dryly. "Isn't it because we can pinpoint the exact time so we can go out and show off a bit?"
"Do you still need to wear clothes?" Qu Jianlei's figure flashed and disappeared into the defensive formation.
“These words…” Tianli’s clone scratched his head, “doesn’t sound like a nice thing to say?”
Jing Yuexin's condition is alright, and judging from the situation, her seclusion will only be a matter of three to five years.
She also had some understanding of the situation outside, and what she was most concerned about now was, of course, the boss's discourse.
When she heard the final words, she simply said, "Then let's go with Cangwu. If we're going to establish a stronghold, let's establish one."
"As a cultivator, one must indeed devote one's attention to exploring the endless path of cultivation, but having a base is essential."
"Without this, it's like water without a source or a tree without roots; it won't go far... Although Cangwu is small, it can be developed slowly."
"Of course, you are a Great Venerable One, and you will have your own understanding. This is just my perspective."
Qu Jianlei remained silent upon hearing this, and after a while spoke, "But my journey..."
“Our journey is to the stars and the sea,” Jing Yuexin said decisively, “but we must have a place to settle down.”
"If you don't have time to worry about anything, just go out and make your own way in the world. No one will let you down."
"Hey, this girl is pretty good," a female voice suddenly rang out.
The spider used its eight legs to propel itself forward again, as fast as it could go.
Qu Jianlei's body also trembled slightly. "I... I've met Your Majesty. You really are a dragon who appears and disappears without a trace!"
"I've been watching you for dozens of days, it's really pointless," the woman's voice said softly. "Finish what you have to say, are you going to curse?"
“No,” Qu Jianlei shook his head decisively, “I was just scared.”
Jing Yuexin watched this scene silently without saying a word—there was no room for her to interject.
"Wrong, you shouldn't call her a girl. She's not young anymore," the female voice said to herself. "She's older than you, and she's only at the Nascent Soul stage!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuexin's eyes narrowed slightly: I'm older... how can you be younger than me?
"Hmm," Qu Jianlei nodded upon hearing this, and Jing Yuexin's heart trembled slightly.
But the next moment, he spoke up, "It is indeed rare to encounter someone under a hundred years old who can achieve astral projection, but it is not impossible!"
Huh? Jing Yuexin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: Boss, listen to what you're saying... Just ask yourself if you believe it?
However, Qu Jianlei then spoke up seriously, "Hard work pays off. I suggest that Your Majesty should put in more effort."
“I don’t need you to remind me of that,” the woman’s voice said leisurely, “but this girl is a bit inferior to Han Li.”
"You're really out of the running," Qu Jianlei said helplessly, "This kind of comparison is really absurd."
Leaving aside cultivation level, just say... am I the kind of person who is kind-hearted and compassionate?
However, he wouldn't confront such an unconventional and powerful being head-on, but simply coughed lightly and said, "Great Lord, be mindful of your status."
This is supposed to be a relatively friendly suggestion—you shouldn't care too much about those minor characters.
However, the female voice let out a soft "Huh? I don't care about status... and I can tolerate you not going to Taiyuan Sea and instead discussing Dao in the starry sky?"
"That... is actually just a plan, and it has not yet been implemented. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
“But I didn’t hold it against you, did I? Otherwise, I would have taken you down a few days ago.”
"Take me down?" Qu Jianlei smiled dismissively. "The Great Khan is very confident, but even a nobody can rebel."
He has gradually figured out the appropriate boundaries in his interactions with the True Lord; he can be a little unrestrained, but it's best not to cross the line.
In fact, the basic principles of getting along between ordinary people are similar, only the degree of discretion is different.
"Resist?" The woman sighed softly, asking in a low voice, "You mean you absolutely have to drag me into your cave?"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Jing Yuexin looked at her boss suspiciously. This was...
"That's an experienced driver!" Qu Jianlei chuckled dryly. "Ancestor, you're joking. If you say that, others have to believe it. Do I even have that kind of ability?"
"So you lacked the strength. Why didn't you say so earlier?" the woman's voice continued softly. "Perhaps... I wouldn't have resisted?"
Jing Yuexin looked at Qu Jianlei with suspicion, not because she didn't trust his character, but because she doubted his judgment.
Are you sure this is a great king?
Qu Jianlei could only smile wryly, "Great Lord, I still have to go to your temple to discuss the Dao. For a girl... gentleness is the right way!"
"A girl?" Jing Yuexin finally couldn't hold back any longer. She sighed softly, "Boss, I want to go back to Red Leaf Ridge. I'm not going to level up anymore!"
The Divine Lord... that was a height she couldn't even imagine, but so what?
She didn't intend to fight him, but she also didn't want to wrong herself. Just like he said—live with a clear mind!
So be it, she can live as long as she can. Besides, who says she can't leave the body on her own?
As for the preparations required for leaving her body, such as fifth-order spiritual veins, she didn't have time to think about them.
"You'd better go into seclusion and behave yourself!" Qu Jianlei gave her a cold look and shouted, "Be sensible!"
"You!" Jing Yuexin was about to explode, but she held back in the end, even though she was about to explode inside.
Actually, she understands everything. The eldest is clearly trying to improve her social standing, so it's normal for her to say a few words in line with the other person's tone.
But she was really upset, perhaps because she hadn't been by his side for a long time and was unaware of many developments...
"Hmm?" A soft hum came, and Han Li appeared. He looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong with you two?"
"Watch your words," Qu Jianlei suddenly felt like he had two heads to crack, "There are seniors around."
If this person does something reckless again, then things will really get complicated.
"Senior?" Han Li glanced at the spider in the distance, instantly understanding. He straightened his expression, cupped his hands towards the starry sky, and said, "Greetings, Ancestor."
Seeing this, Jing Yuexin blinked, and the breath she had been holding in gradually dissipated.
She knew very well how arrogant Han Li was, yet now she was being so obedient. This female voice was really... best to keep your distance.
"How boring," the woman scoffed. "Which little world are you planning to go to?"
Han Li blinked and looked at Qu Zhenzun again: What did you say to her?
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow. "So, the Ancestor intends to go there as well? But that place is just a small world."
He wasn't deliberately trying to please them; he just wanted to understand their preferences.
Both Jin Ge and the spider have a penchant for travel, and what these three have in common is that they all live long enough.
There is a strong possibility that the longer one lives, the more weary one becomes of a monotonous life.
So, if this person really wants to accompany you, will there be any inconveniences? Qu Jianlei thinks that it really doesn't matter.
Because this person has clearly set their sights on him, and it's almost impossible for things to change in the short term.
Since there's always this guy in the dangling boots around, it doesn't matter where he is.
If we could ease the tension and improve our mutual understanding, that would be even better.
"Hmm?" The woman snorted softly. "So you're really planning to kidnap me? It seems Han Li and Jin Ge were absolutely right."
"Hehe, those two really know you best."
Jing Yuexin remained calm upon hearing this, but Qu Jianlei could only smile wryly, "Ancestor, you jest. How could I dare?"
The woman chuckled softly upon hearing this, "Hehe, it really isn't that you dare not, but that you don't want to."
Qu Jianlei's expression hardened, and he spoke with a helpless air.
“Ancestor, I was just thinking that you haven’t gone out for so many years, your life must be boring, and you might be getting restless.”
"As expected, you understand my loneliness best," the woman's voice chuckled again upon hearing this.
