Chapter 2345 An Unexpected Encounter, Reunion with Fairy Nanling
The woman who walked past Chen Xuan was a female cultivator wearing a Moon Shadow Society mask.
She has a very ordinary build.
But the aura she possessed left a lasting impression on Chen Xuan.
"Nanling Fairy Maiden? It's actually her? Could it be that she's involved in this Moon Shadow Gathering as well?"
Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
However, he did not rashly go to find the Fairy of Nanling.
He quickly left, looking perfectly normal.
Chen Xuan rented an ordinary cave dwelling at a brokerage firm in Feilai City for 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones before moving in.
Wow!
With a casual wave of his hand, the protective array in the cave began to operate rapidly.
Soon, Chen Xuan flipped his hand and took out the Moon Shadow Society's identity token.
Before Chen Xuan could even begin, he channeled his immortal power into the Moon Shadow Society's identity token.
A rich light shone from the Moon Shadow Society's identity plaque.
A huge screen of light suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xuan.
However, the female cultivator who appeared on the light screen was Xiao Qin, who had an excellent relationship with Chen Xuan.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, congratulations on successfully advancing to the Golden Immortal realm."
Xiao Qin looked at Chen Xuan, and her excited voice immediately rang out.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
His gaze swept over Xiao Qin, and seeing that she also exuded the aura of an early Golden Immortal, he smiled and said, "Hehe, Fairy, you've also advanced to the Golden Immortal realm? Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Hehe, I was able to advance to the Golden Immortal realm thanks to your help, fellow Daoist. If it weren't for the pills you gifted me, I wouldn't have been able to advance to the Golden Immortal realm in such a short time. By the way, Brother Chen, are you currently in Flying City?"
"This...is indeed it. Could it be that you, Fairy, are also in Flying City?"
“It’s just natural. Not long ago, Fairy Nanling said that she caught a glimpse of you in Feilai City. I thought she was lying to me, but I didn’t expect that you really were in Feilai City.”
"Did the fairy come because of the summons from the grotto heaven?"
“That’s right. Although my father is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, our Heavenly Light City is still a member of the Southern Immortal Realm. Since the higher-ups have issued the summons for the Cave Heavens, our Heavenly Light City will naturally send strong warriors to participate in the battle!”
"I see!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Fairy, do you know why Fairy Nanling appeared in Feilai City?"
"Hehe, although I know a little about this, it's not convenient for me to reveal it to you, Brother Chen. However, with your intelligence, you should be able to guess it, right?"
"I see, it must be the Moonshadow Society's trial, right? This is way too difficult!"
"Who says otherwise? However, joining the Moonshadow Society actually has quite a few benefits. By the way, Brother Chen, would it be convenient for you to meet with me? I have some matters to discuss with you!"
"Alright, come to my cave!"
Chen Xuan agreed, told Xiao Qin the location of his cave, and then immediately severed all contact with her.
In just half an hour, Xiao Qin appeared outside Chen Xuan's cave.
When Xiao Qin saw that Chen Xuan lived in a very ordinary little cave dwelling, she was surprised.
"Brother Chen, how come you live in such a humble place? Why don't you live with me?" Xiao Qin said earnestly.
Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Let's not. If I live with the fairy, wouldn't that just cause her trouble?"
"Hehe, if I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of, Brother Chen?"
"Fairy, please don't joke. You've come all this way to see me, there must be something you need, right? Please speak frankly!"
"Brother Chen, as you know, we from Tianguang City have come to Feilai City on the summons from the Cave Heaven. We'll likely have to fight a major battle against the demonic beast army in the Jinling Mountains soon. May I invite you to join us?"
Chen Xuan's gaze remained calm, but he did not give Xiao Qin an answer.
Although, Flying City is about to face a major battle.
Chen Xuan came to Feilai City alone, and he will probably be affected.
But Chen Xuan believed that with his own methods, he could easily escape unscathed.
If we were to be tied to Tianguang City, there would be a lot of trouble.
Without enough benefits, Chen Xuan didn't want to be constrained.
Although he and Xiao Qin had a good personal relationship, Chen Xuan would not tie himself to Tianguang City because of this.
"Brother Chen, you may not know this. The summons for the grotto-heavens has been issued. All True Immortals who have appeared in the Southern Celestial Realm will be summoned to support Flying City!"
"Even now, Brother Chen cannot leave Feilai City if he wants to!"
"Only by slaying demonic beasts and accumulating a certain amount of merit points can we secure a chance to leave safely!"
"Brother Chen, our Tianguang City is located in the Tiannan Immortal Realm. Although it has some reputation, it's not very big."
"If Brother Chen can join forces with our Heavenly Light City, once we accumulate enough merit points, I will immediately exchange them for the qualification to leave Flying City. What do you think, Brother Chen?"
Seeing that Chen Xuan did not speak, Xiao Qin immediately explained.
After a long while, Chen Xuan suddenly frowned slightly.
He knew perfectly well that Xiao Qin would not try to fool him with something like this.
Upon careful consideration, Chen Xuan understood the reason.
"This time, the monsters in the Jinling Mountains have caused quite a stir. Even Jinling City has been captured by them!"
"This matter has likely caused a sensation throughout the entire Tiannan True Immortal Realm. If the True Immortals of the Tiannan True Immortal Realm are unable to subdue the demonic beasts in the Jinling Mountains, they will likely be ridiculed!"
"Hehe, this is probably the main reason why those old guys in the Tiannan True Immortal Realm directly issued the Cave Heaven Summoning Order, right?"
Chen Xuan sneered secretly, but appeared calm on the surface.
He was well aware of the cruel laws governing the True Immortal Realm.
The strong take all, while the weak are left to be manipulated.
Nowadays, those powerful figures, just to save face, send so many True Immortals from the Southern Heavenly Immortal Realm to their deaths.
Those high and mighty immortals could only talk about this, but a weakling like Chen Xuan would probably have to put it into practice with his life.
"Thank you, fairy, but I need to think about this matter carefully!" Chen Xuan said earnestly.
"Brother Chen, your time is running out. In three days at most, Flying City will gather everyone and launch its largest counterattack!"
"If you cannot find a way to leave Feilai City within three days, you will be summoned along with other rogue cultivators and sent to fight in the most dangerous vanguard battalion."
Vanguard Battalion!
Also known as the cannon fodder battalion!
That's the name we use everywhere!
No one cares whether the True Immortals of the Vanguard Camp live or die.
Moreover, the vast majority of the Vanguard Camp True Immortals are rogue cultivators.
They died, and their deaths were in vain.
Even if they don't die, it will only mean that these people will receive more cultivation resources.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan felt a surge of pressure.
"I never imagined things would escalate to this point. Rest assured, Fairy, I will give you an answer within three days!"
"Well, Brother Chen, take care. If you encounter any difficulties, please don't hesitate to contact me. In this Flying City, the words of us from Skylight City still carry some weight!"
After explaining for a moment, Xiao Qin immediately took her leave.
However, not long after Xiao Qin left, another beautiful figure appeared outside Chen Xuan's cave.
The visitor was none other than the Fairy Maiden of Nanling.
"Hehe, it's an old friend visiting! Please come in!"
Chen Xuan chuckled and directly activated the protective array of the cave.
Soon, Fairy Nanling walked into Chen Xuan's cave with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist has indeed arrived in Flying City. I thought I was seeing things."
The Fairy of Nanling looked at Chen Xuan and smiled happily.
He still had that kind and approachable demeanor.
However, when Chen Xuan's gaze swept over Nanling Fairy.
They discovered that the cultivation level of the Fairy of Nanling was also at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm.
This made him look at Nanling Fairy with newfound respect.
"I never imagined that after all these years, the fairy would have successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal realm. Congratulations!"
Chen Xuan offered his congratulations with a smile.
Fairy Nanling waved her hand and said, "It's not surprising that I was able to advance to the Golden Immortal realm. But it is you, Fellow Daoist Chen, who was able to successfully advance to the Golden Immortal realm and become a Mithril Armored Warrior in such a short time that it is quite surprising to me."
After a pause, Fairy Nanling smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are now also trapped in Flying City and unable to leave, aren't you?"
"Your insight is truly remarkable, Fairy! May I ask what brings you here at this hour?"
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, then asked.
The Fairy of Nanling has a special identity.
Back then, it was she who led Chen Xuan, Xiao Qin, and others through the Moon Shadow Society's membership test.
Even after all these years, the other party is still working for the Moon Shadow Society.
I believe she is more aware than others of what has recently happened in the Jinling Mountains.
Chen Xuan asked this question in order to extract some information from the Fairy of Nanling.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, the reason I've come to you is to invite you to join us in hunting demonic beasts and earning merit points. As you know, the summons for the new grotto-heavens has already been issued. Everyone must accumulate a certain amount of merit points before they can leave the battlefield. Otherwise, even our Moon Shadow Society cannot ensure anyone's safe departure."
"Oh? Even a fairy like you is trapped in Flying City?"
"Of course! Moreover, I've already heard about it. This battle is exceptionally brutal. The demonic beasts in the Jinling Mountains, I don't know what provoked them, are just recklessly determined to fight us. Once the battle breaks out, even you and I will find it difficult to escape unscathed!"
After the Fairy of Nanling finished speaking, she did not directly ask Chen Xuan to express his opinion.
Instead, she waited earnestly for Chen Xuan's reply.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Xuan suddenly looked at the Fairy of Nanling and smiled slightly.
“Fairy, you may not know this. Not long ago, Fairy Xiao also came to see me and invited me to join the people of Tianguang City.”
"Oh?"
The fairy maiden of Nanling agreed.
Soon, she looked at Chen Xuan with a smile and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Fellow Daoist Chen, you didn't agree to Fairy Xiao's request on the spot, right?"
"Of course. After all, this matter involves my safety. I need to weigh it carefully."
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Chen, your thinking is certainly correct. However, I have an even better suggestion. How about we join forces? Even on the battlefield, we can look out for each other, right?"
“What you say, Fairy, is quite to my liking. However, if I were to encounter a formidable enemy, I would have no choice but to flee for my life. I must make this clear from the outset.”
"Fellow Daoist Chen, rest assured, I have everything under control!"
The fairy maiden of Nanling agreed.
After chatting with Chen Xuan for a while about the situation of the demon beast army, he took his leave.
Chen Xuan also told Xiao Qin about the discussion he had with the Fairy of Nanling.
After hearing this, Xiao Qin immediately expressed her willingness to cooperate with both parties.
After finishing his work, Chen Xuan immediately found a place to sit quietly.
Reflect carefully on what has happened during this period.
He was shocked to discover that his biggest mistake was leaving the Jinling Mountains so rashly.
"If I had stayed in the Jinling Mountains, I probably wouldn't have gotten involved in this great battle!"
"What a pity, I'm already in this situation, and I have no choice but to follow the rules set by the powerful!"
"Hopefully, this time I can accumulate enough merit points to leave Flying City as soon as possible!"
After letting out a soft sigh, Chen Xuan immediately began to meditate in seclusion to recover his immortal power.
Three days later, Chen Xuan was awakened by a piercing alarm.
The next instant, he swiftly left the cave and headed straight for the gate of Feilai City.
