Chapter 2780 Teaching People a Lesson
At the beginning, Kuki Shinjun's attention was not focused on the True Venerable at all.
The two True Lords opposite him were enough to make him take them seriously, while the True Venerable was just a junior.
Moreover, the number of True Venerables in the Boundless Realm is in the hundreds, and they are right at his doorstep, so he has no need to care about these Nascent Soul cultivators.
True Lord does not lie. Since Wuchen said that these True Venerables come from Houde, then there is no problem. It is just a barren world.
But upon closer inspection, he discovered the spider on Qu Jianlei's shoulder.
The key point is that the aura emanating from this True Venerable is also somewhat strange. "Becoming a god through incense offerings... what kind of strange combination is this?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him calmly, without any reaction.
There was little reverence in the other person's eyes... Jiuqi Zhenjun felt increasingly uneasy: there wasn't even much excitement?
It was a calm indifference devoid of emotion, as if to say: I've seen plenty of kings!
However, can one Great Lord be the same as another? Kuki Shinkun calmly asked, "Are you also of great virtue?"
Qu Jianlei remained calm and nodded slightly, "Yes, Senior."
"Don't get involved," said True Monarch Jiuqi calmly. "Leave quickly. I gave her face when I discussed the Dao at Taiyuan."
In the past, he wouldn't have bothered to say so much to the True Lord—did he really think the Great Lord was so free?
"It's rare that you still remember me," the young woman's voice suddenly rang out, "Does the Boundless Realm extend to beyond our own domain?"
"Greetings, Senior Taiyuan," Jiuqi Zhenjun's gaze turned solemn.
Although he addressed him as a senior, his words were still not very polite: "This is the Wuyai Zuojin area, fellow Daoist, please do not cause trouble for Houde."
He was merely discussing the Dao at Taiyuan Sea, using the Daoist temple as a sign of respect for the other party's long life.
Wuya is overwhelmingly superior to Houde in most aspects, not to mention that he is right at his doorstep.
"I come from Bell Spirit!" The Möbius strip appeared. "Is Wuya so powerful that he can act without reason?"
"Holy crap!" True Monarch Jiuqi was really losing his composure. These were four... no, four half-Great Monarchs?
What exactly happened to attract a team of this size?
The one who appeared last was from the Zhongling Realm, and Zhongling was far stronger than Wuyai!
But then he paused slightly, "Senior... is that you?"
He vaguely sensed a familiar presence.
"Does it matter who I am?" the Möbius strip said indifferently. "You can even interfere in matters beyond the realms, are you even more powerful than Zhong Ling?"
Zhong Ling hid the portal because she couldn't bear the disturbances from cultivators; this was common knowledge in the cultivation world.
In other words, even the Zhongling Realm did not prevent cultivators from loitering outside their own homes.
Zhong Ling simply concealed the entrance to her own realm using a sophisticated array.
If you don't have the ability to find the entrance to the realm, then just wait for the invitation.
"No wonder the senior locked away his life force!" Jiuqi guessed who it was and truly dared not offend him.
Moreover, while Wuya cultivators may underestimate Houde, it is absolutely inappropriate for them to be presumptuous in front of Zhongling cultivators.
So he could only patiently explain, "Senior, if you are merely a cultivator of great virtue, then it's fine, but..."
He didn't want to offend Lianxing cultivators too much, so he only said half of what he meant, and the other party would definitely understand.
"We just happened to be passing by," the Möbius strip said without a fear of admitting it. Since they were already trying to deceive everyone, a few more lies wouldn't make a difference.
As for the potential consequences of lying... does it matter to him?
As long as the other party doesn't dare to check, it's not a problem—he believed he still had that much face.
Do you think I believe that? Jiuqi Zhenjun's lips twitched. So many Great Lords, together with Lianxing cultivators, and you're saying you just passed by?
However, given the complexity of the situation, it was indeed inconvenient for him to verify it directly.
Because that would be tantamount to questioning the other party, wouldn't that be a public slap in the face?
Kuki Shinjun said in a deep voice, "Senior, you'd better explain in more detail. I acknowledge the karmic debt I owe you from before."
"You can leave now, and the cause and effect will be settled," the Möbius strip stated decisively. "Is that alright?"
How could Lord Jiuqi agree? He only owed the other party a small debt of karma—the kind that wouldn't matter if he didn't repay it.
But he couldn't say it like that, so Jiuqi had no choice but to raise his hand and do some divination.
Then his expression turned serious, and he asked in astonishment, "There's also the Realm of All Things?"
"Greetings, senior," Xiao You raised his hand in a cupped-knee gesture and spoke solemnly, "We stand with the virtuous cultivators."
“You…” True Monarch Jiuqi sensed the other party and frowned again. “With this aura, who are your elders?”
The other party had the blessing of a True Lord, though it was very faint, but it could not escape his careful perception.
What's even more deadly is that this is an aura that is different from that of other True Lords.
These are... five and a half True Monarchs? True Monarch Jiuqi felt that his sea of consciousness was becoming somewhat stagnant.
“Reporting to you, senior, this is my matter,” Xiaoyou replied very decisively, “and you are unaware of it.”
She didn't reveal her identity despite having powerful backers, not because she was asking for trouble, but because... she didn't want to drag her master into the karma of the Heavenly Collapse.
What on earth are you doing? Kuki Shinjun was genuinely scratching his head in bewilderment.
However, at this moment, he also realized that the cause and effect of this matter was something he could not bear.
Even if Wuya were to send one or two more True Lords, they might not be able to handle it—the situation is truly dire.
Realizing this, Kuki Shinjun nodded slightly, "I roughly understand."
"But even if you all don't want to say it, Wuya will still have to take it seriously. Don't say you weren't warned!"
"It's a pity, but I also got along very well with Lingyun's fellow Daoist Wenshi. However, since it concerns Wuya, I can only apologize to him..."
"I remember we weren't that close, were we?" A divine sense emerged again.
Wen Shi Zhenjun could no longer hide, and his refusal to show himself must have been for a reason—he was the pillar of Lingyun.
There's no need for further explanation; just think about his support for Baiqiao in managing Lingyun affairs, and you can roughly understand his character.
However, since the other party has already directly named him, even if he doesn't show himself, subtle consequences will still occur in the next moment.
Rather than waiting to be discovered, he decided to take the initiative.
He said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, just make the arrangements and don't worry about me."
Wen Shi's impression of Jiuqi is really just that—so what if Wuya is a top-tier world? Lingyun is also a powerful and virtuous ruler.
"Holy crap..." True Monarch Jiuqi felt this divine sense and was completely overwhelmed!
"What exactly do you want to do?"
He had once gone to Taiyuan Sea to discuss the Dao. Although he felt that Houde was indeed quite ordinary, Lingyun was really not someone to mess with.
Especially Wen Shi, whom he had dealt with twice, how to put it... think about what Qu Jianlei thinks of Baiqiao.
Of course, Wen Shi wasn't as extreme as Bai Qiao, but he was definitely not without his own tricks.
Wen Shi and Tai Yuan, Ling Yun has dispatched two True Lords, there's no need to ask what happened!
Considering the involvement of True Monarchs from the Zhongling Realm and the Taihao Sect... as well as Grand Monarch Lianxing!
This doesn't even include a certain True Lord in the Realm of All Things, or a Quasi-True Lord who attained godhood through nameless incense offerings...
It was almost inevitable that Kuki Shinjun would break down; it's a miracle he didn't.
Given the power and potential he faces, even if all the True Lords of Wuya were to mobilize, they would probably have to sit down and have a proper talk.
The Boundless Realm might not necessarily be unable to defeat them, but if a major battle breaks out, it would be extremely fortunate if the Boundless Realm were to fall into a third-tier world!
"I didn't intend to do anything," Wen Shi Zhenjun replied leisurely. "What can our small Houde Realm possibly do?"
“Yes,” Xiaoyou nodded, “The Realm of All Things is even smaller. I only represent myself, not the realm.”
“You should just go back quietly,” the Möbius strip said leisurely. “We’re just passing by.”
Only a fool would believe that, right? Kuki Shinjun's mind was racing.
After a pause, he spoke, "Are there any Nascent Soul cultivators who haven't shown themselves yet?"
“I can’t tell you that,” the Möbius strip said bluntly. “I suggest you take my advice!”
That means there's someone else! Jiuqi is quite familiar with this person's personality.
Cultivators in the Spirit Realm are generally quite arrogant, especially towards cultivators from outside the realm. They have an excellent sense of self-worth and therefore rarely lie!
He sighed, "If you all insist on doing it this way, then I'll have no choice but to call for help."
“Sure,” the Möbius strip said readily. “Zhong Ling doesn’t kick out outsiders, so I’d really like to learn from your methods.”
In any case, his statement was only verbal, and considering the urgent need to deceive the heavens, there was no need to take action against this True Lord.
However, if the other party doesn't know what's good for them, then he can't be blamed for being impolite!
If you put the whole story together, it might seem to someone who doesn't know the full story that the Wantianqing team went a bit too far.
After all, Qu Zhenzun and Baiyou Business Alliance had already settled their score, so for them to come knocking again now seemed like they were never going to let things go.
However, this time it was Han Li's idea—Qu Zhenzun had already let it slide, and Qu Zhenzun was still angry.
In that incident, the handsome young man obtained a Divine Palace, but does that have anything to do with him getting over the matter?
When he took over the Divine Palace, he was mentally prepared to assume the corresponding responsibilities!
Spoils of war are spoils of war, and negotiations are negotiations; they are not the same thing!
Having finished discussing the aftermath of the last incident, shouldn't the Wantianqing team be open and honest with each other this time instead of keeping things to themselves?
That doesn't make sense! At least Möbius strip, Wuchen, Wenshi, and the young lady all think... We'll come to your door, you find the reason!
This is the most normal mindset of a truly great being: you should first think about where you went wrong, as for me to explain to you? It's not worth it!
If you really can't figure it out, then you deserve your bad luck!
The identities of those from the Houde Realm have all been revealed. True Monarch Jiuqi only thinks of Houde, not Wuya's power!
He didn't even consider whether Wuya had offended Houde.
To be honest, he's not wrong in thinking this way. As the party with the advantage, why should he look for where he went wrong?
Unfortunately, he did not have the advantages he imagined!
The Möbius strip believes that it has made its point clear, and if the other party is not understanding, it cannot be blamed on itself.
When faced with harsh realities from society, wise people look for the reasons within themselves—that's what it means for society to teach you a lesson!
