Chapter 2691 Hiding deeply
In response to the question, Tai Yuanhai snorted, "Why didn't you just say that earlier? Xiao Qu, you tell them!"
"Miss, you really think highly of me!" Qu Jianlei's lips twitched.
However, since he's already been thrust into the spotlight, he can't let the veteran driver lose face, can he?
He raised his hand in a gesture of respect and spoke solemnly, "Greetings to the two Great Lords. We have come here to track down a similar aura of deathly stillness."
"Tracking?" The later-arriving Great King was somewhat surprised. "Your connection with Lian Xing... huh?"
"This young friend is quite interesting," the first Grand Monarch remarked. "The tempering of the body through creation, this foot... the mystery still lies with you!"
It always thought that the most deeply rooted members of the opposing team were Spider and that handsome young man.
However, this one, who was specifically chosen by the Great King to communicate, tried to sense it again and found that it could not see through the other party's background.
At first glance, it seems unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, its true origins are shrouded in mystery.
In fact, just considering the sheer aura of creation emanating from his entire body, this person should be among the most outstanding of all the True Venerables.
The later king also discovered this, which led to that soft exclamation.
After a pause, the first king spoke again, "Were they misled here?"
It has lived a long and fulfilling life, and even though it is not a human cultivator, it has seen far too many evil spirits and monsters.
“Perhaps not a human predecessor,” Qu Jianlei was quite adept at labeling people, but he was usually too lazy to do it, “but rather, he has the aura of someone whose birthday is approaching.”
"You've got a wild idea!" The later king did indeed have a worse temper.
It angrily declared, "None of the Divine Lords associated with Yuxiu are nearing the end of their lives!"
Your brain seems a bit overloaded... Qu Jianlei's lips twitched. The intelligence of non-humans is indeed worrying.
"Didn't you notice, senior?"
"Stop talking!" the former king said, stopping his companion. "They've already said it was a misleading statement... Are you sure that fellow was here?"
"It should be," Qu Jianlei said, not daring to say for sure, "but most of us are human, and we also want to respect Yuxiu's rules."
The two Great Lords who dispatched their clones were not human, but one had a connection to the Xuanzun, and the other was from the human camp.
Upon hearing this, the two kings opposite finally understood what was going on. Once the matter was explained, it wasn't difficult to comprehend.
Ultimately, it was because of Yuxiu's reputation that the other party didn't want any misunderstandings, which is why they were acting so furtively.
The hot-tempered king behind him couldn't help but mutter, "Why didn't you just say so earlier?"
"I told you already, would you have listened?" Taiyuan Hai sneered. "Everyone knows how short-tempered True Monarch Kanshui is."
“You’ve mistaken me for someone else. I am Fire, not Water,” the volatile king stated bluntly.
After it finished speaking, it fell silent.
After a while, the former king spoke up, saying, "Is there that fellow's aura? Let me check again."
"Yes, but I won't give it to you," the woman's voice said leisurely. "You don't think that clears your name, do you?"
"Tsk," the great king couldn't help but feel troubled upon hearing this, as it disliked encountering such things the most.
As mentioned before, although the Jade Beauty Realm holds a prestigious position, it still faces considerable challenges when encountering formidable human powerhouses.
Most importantly, although it couldn't detect the person who was misleading it, it could tell that the woman's voice wasn't lying.
If a dignified True Lord lacks even this basic judgment, then he is truly a joke.
"What do you want?"
“We need to go to the Jade Beauty Realm!” Tai Yuanhai answered without hesitation, “to search for any trace of that person.”
"Don't even think about it!" The Great Khan on the other side refused decisively. "Yuxiu will not let you in."
"Isn't this just a cover-up?" The young lady not only knows how to drive, but she has also witnessed too many debates, and her eloquence is not a problem either.
"Human cultivators can enter temporarily... It seems that the relationship between that person and you, Yuxiu, is truly extraordinary!"
"Don't make false accusations," the opposing lord said, displeased.
"I'm still a virgin!" the woman's voice snapped. "Where did this slander come from... Oh, I forgot the context, this is what's going on."
"Listen to me," the Great Lord on the other side patiently explained, "this is the aura of the stars, the aura of incense leading to godhood, the karma of the human race's Xuanzun..."
"I mean, no one else can come in, but you can. You have three days!"
“That won’t do,” the woman’s voice said decisively. “What if you detain me? I’m about to have a Daoist partner too…”
"Taiyuanhai, you'd better hurry up!" The Great Lord opposite actually pointed out her background. "Only you can go in, or else forget it!"
“I knew it, that guy must be True Monarch Kan Shui,” the woman said, sounding somewhat indignant.
Taiyuanhai has a good reputation in the world of cultivation, but compared to Yuxiu, Houde is a remote and impoverished place. Nobody here really knows her.
"Come out if you dare!"
No one responded, and everyone waited for a long time.
Finally, it was the chieftain who spoke up, "Do you even want to catch the culprit? Delaying things... isn't good for you."
"Alright then," the woman could only settle for second best, "Xiao Qu, come in with me... that shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Is it this one? It's not impossible, but... that spider has to stay."
"Qu Zhenzun doesn't need to come in!" Han Li said coldly. "If you trust me, then don't come in!"
"Of course I believe you," Qu Jianlei smiled slightly.
He had already figured out what the Jade Beauty Realm was like, and it would be impossible for him not to want to go in and see the world.
He had seen the world of cultivation, but he had never actually seen a universally acknowledged immortal realm—it seemed that neither Xiaoyou nor Hanli had ever been inside.
He really wanted to go in and see for himself, but he was even more certain that Han Li would never harm him!
As for why I don't recommend him to go, we can figure that out slowly. Anyway, at times like this, we must stand on our partner's side!
“Alright then,” Tai Yuanhai said without pressuring, “You wait for me for three days, I don’t believe they’ll dare to do anything…”
Then she fell silent, presumably having already begun her operation.
Two and a half days later, the void trembled slightly, and a faint white mist suddenly appeared.
A female voice came from the white mist, "That fellow is indeed cunning; this place is a trap... We can go back now."
"Can we... go back?" Upon hearing this, the Six True Venerables were all taken aback.
Shinzo Yuugiri was especially disappointed; she had been hoping for more gains. "Aren't we continuing?"
"There are so many things to do in Houde," Taiyuan Hai replied without hesitation. "The matter is already settled, so why aren't we leaving?"
The white mist trembled slightly, and the female voice continued to speak.
"Kan Shui Zhen Jun, considering the unsettled journey, is willing to accompany you on your way. Everyone should thank the Great Lord for his kindness."
"I told you not to go too far!" the irritable lord's divine sense transmitted again. "I'm investigating the suspect, and it's for Yuxiu's sake!"
The Venerable Ones didn't say much, but they all knew perfectly well that this True Lord Kan Shui had disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
So its arrival this time was probably not entirely voluntary.
The talk of investigating suspects and protecting Yuxiu's reputation is just a pretext—could it be that Yuxiu's chieftain has died out?
This must have been Taiyuan Hai's doing, forcing the other party to come along.
Suddenly, everyone's impression of the young lady changed drastically: Who would have thought that the seasoned driver who always spoke lewd jokes was actually so unassuming?
However, it's better to see through something than to say it. There's no need to embarrass a great king, is there? It won't make a difference to us.
Even the female voice didn't expose it, "Since that's the case, True Lord Kan Shui won't leave until the important business is finished."
"This young lady is truly amazing," Han Li couldn't help but exclaim. "She doesn't show herself unless absolutely necessary..."
The second half of the sentence is really hard to explain, but even so, he is definitely a true master of courting death.
The white mist pretended not to hear, condensing into a white mist arrow that pointed directly at the Dog-Riding True Venerable, saying, "Stay away from me, I won't say it a second time!"
Riding Dog True Venerable gave an awkward smile and answered simply, "I know."
Even a Star Cultivator like him has encountered far too many such things; he couldn't possibly hold grudges against them all.
“We need to find a place to settle down,” Kan Shui Zhenjun muttered to himself, then spoke up, “That spider, move aside…”
"I advise you not to make trouble for yourself!" the woman's voice said leisurely. "Is the karma of that person something you can afford to mess with?"
"Tch," True Monarch Kanshui snorted dismissively, but ultimately said nothing more.
Then everyone entered the spatial interlayer and left the Jade Beauty Realm.
During the journey, Kan Shui Zhenjun existed in the form of white mist, but shrunk to the size of a human head.
After traveling for a while, it spoke again, asking, "Can this Middle Thousand Worlds be compressed even smaller?"
It's not that it's looking for trouble, it's just that this kind of travel speed is really too tiring.
"Then go ahead and do it," the woman replied casually. "I'm sure no one will mind."
Kan Shui Zhenjun fell silent, thinking to himself, "Did I overeat and invite this karma?"
But after a while, it couldn't help but say, "You bunch of amateurs dare to even think about hunting down that guy?"
No one responded, but it still caught the attention of some people.
The next moment, it sneered, "You've defied a Great Ruler? Heh, those you killed, do you even have the nerve to call yourselves Great Rulers?"
When Qu Jianlei was in his Nascent Soul stage, he had fought against several True Venerables, and Han Li could sense the aura emanating from him.
Kan Shui is a genuine Great Ruler, so it's not surprising that he sensed certain auras or causal relationships.
However, no one answered its question after that.
For a moment, it became a little annoyed. "Fellow Daoist Taiyuan, you juniors don't seem to know the rules very well."
"You need to act like an elder first," the woman's voice replied leisurely. "What kind of skill is it to nitpick all the time?"
"Let me ask you, when you were a True Venerable, how many Great Lords did you rebel against... even Quasi-Great Lords count!"
Kan Shui Zhenjun fell silent for a moment before finally replying, "If no Great Lord is causing me trouble, why would I go crazy and rebel?"
