#2720 - Yuanchu and Su Qingqian - Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

These past few days, Jun Wuxie had been very leisurely, spending his days chatting with Mo Qingli in the small courtyard.

They mainly talked about matters concerning the Mixed Origin Great World.

Although Mo Qingli had left the Mixed Origin for tens of thousands of years, times had changed, the world had transformed, and many people and things had undergone great changes compared to the past.

But some things still hadn't changed much.

Jun Wuxie was new here, so he naturally wanted to learn more.

Even if the information was outdated, it could at least serve as a reference in some aspects.

It was better than knowing nothing at all.

Besides that, they talked a lot about cultivation.

However, Jun Wuxie didn't mention the Supreme Emotionless Record, nor did he mention the method Mo Qingli cultivated.

He only talked about cultivation experiences and how to deal with confusion encountered in the general direction of cultivation, and so on.

When he talked about this, it was always about the general principles of cultivation, without mentioning any details.

He mainly didn't want to influence Mo Qingli.

The method she cultivated was quite special, the Supreme Emotionless Record. This method required one to comprehend it oneself, with the state of mind moving in sync, to truly escape "confusion", to glimpse the true meaning of creation, and to break free from the shackles woven by oneself to obtain "new life".

Therefore, he could only talk about it from the sidelines.

Although it didn't involve the special ways of the Supreme Emotionless Record, there were always some similarities between the myriad paths in the world.

For Mo Qingli, listening to him talk about these things was also a gain, which could broaden her horizons, clear her mind, see a corner that she couldn't see before, open up a broader vision, and see a new world.

"It's about time. They must be getting impatient."

"I wonder if we scared them that day."

"They should be quite frightened."

Mo Qingli knew that he was referring to the incident where the two people's divine senses peeked and saw a bloody haze and heard miserable screams.

That was deliberately done by Jun Wuxie.

Scaring them could also convey the wrong information to them, making them deeply believe in the speculation that the two of them were trapped in the Great Tomb Fortress for tens of thousands of years.

The purpose of doing this, of course, was to lure out the higher-ups of those small forces.

Although doing so had the suspicion of entrapment.

However, if the higher-ups of those forces didn't have bad intentions, it would be impossible for them to be hooked.

Putting down the teacup, Jun Wuxie stood up, and then walked out of the small courtyard with Mo Qingli.

The moment their figures appeared, in the inn, countless eyes that had been watching their movements almost simultaneously locked onto them.

Although those people had restrained their aura and hostility, making it difficult to be noticed.

But the targets they were facing were Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli.

How keen were their divine sense perceptions?

In just an instant, they had discerned everything, understanding who was secretly watching them at this time and in what position.

They remained calm, pretending not to know anything, and went to the hall of the inn.

"Hello, you two."

The shopkeeper greeted them with a smile when he saw them come out, but secretly reminded them: "You two, it's best to be careful."

"Recently, many high-level members of various forces have checked into our inn."

"I don't know if they came because of you, but you two should be more vigilant."

"If it's not necessary, you two should not leave the town."

"If you think it's too expensive to stay in our inn, you can go to other inns, which will be much cheaper."

"Although other inns are not as safe as ours, they are still within the town's urban area, and no matter which force's high-level members, they wouldn't dare to come out in the open."

"Shopkeeper, thank you."

Jun Wuxie nodded slightly to him, saying secretly with his divine sense.

This shopkeeper was not bad.

"Alas, you two, don't rush to thank me."

"You two should first overcome this predicament."

"Those high-level members from various forces have profound cultivations. You'd better not give them any chance, otherwise your fate will fall into the hands of others, to be manipulated and slaughtered at will."

The shopkeeper spoke earnestly, reminding them tirelessly.

He was not particularly kind, just an ordinary person's mentality.

It was just that over the years, he had opened an inn here, witnessing countless innocent people losing their lives and ending up in a miserable state.

Among those people, some of them used to be his guests.

At that time, many people became acquainted with him because they lived there for a long time, and they used to talk and laugh.

Unexpectedly, not long after, their fate underwent a subversive change, ending in a tragic ending, which was regrettable.

Having seen too much, he also deeply hated this kind of behavior of various forces.

Bullying others based on power was not once or twice, there were too many such things.

Those high-level members of the forces, relying on their strong strength, did many excessive things.

After many times, the shopkeeper also felt disgusted in his heart.

Jun Wuxie didn't say much, just gave the shopkeeper a smile.

Afterwards, they walked to a corner area in the hall.

That position was empty.

After they sat down, a pretty girl immediately came forward, asking if they needed to eat.

After receiving a response, the girl handed over the menu she had prepared.

Jun Wuxie ordered several featured dishes, plus a pot of good wine.

Throughout the whole process, Mo Qingli remained silent.

Her appearance made the girl couldn't help but stay away from her, always feeling that this woman's aura was too indifferent, as if she had lost human emotions.

Obviously born very beautiful, but it made her heart have a feeling of not wanting to approach and not daring to approach.

At this time, in the hall, people looked over from time to time.

Although those people deliberately made their movements very natural, they still couldn't escape the eyes of Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli.

When the dishes were all served, they were halfway through eating when someone walked over.

It was not the person who spied on them that day, and did not belong to any member of the force they belonged to.

After all, it could be seen from the symbol on the talisman, and the answer could also be obtained from the energy aura in their bodies.

The person who came was a young man who looked red-lipped and white-toothed, and his appearance was very young.

There was a very gentle smile on his face, with a bit of refined temperament.

"Hello, fellow daoists. Meeting is fate. I wonder if I can sit down and get to know you two."

"I know, saying this may be a bit abrupt."

"It's really because you two are too pleasing to the eye. The first time I saw you two, I felt a sense of intimacy."

"Fate is really quite wonderful sometimes."

"Fellow Daoist, please sit down."

Jun Wuxie pointed to the position near him.

"Fellow Daoist is a straightforward person, which suits my taste very well."

"I like your straightforward nature."

"Since that's the case, then I'll respectfully accept your offer."

The young man smiled and sat down.

He brought his own wine, which was also from this inn, but it was not the same kind as Jun Wuxie ordered.

"Fellow Daoist, the wine brewed in White Sand Ancient Town is very good. Each one has a different feeling."

He said, pouring a cup for Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli.

"I don't drink."

Mo Qingli's cold voice sounded when the young man was pouring wine.

The young man was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "I was rude."

He stopped pouring wine, put down the wine pot in his hand, and didn't say anything else.

Don't drink?

He clearly saw her drinking with this young man just now, but now she said she doesn't drink.

This woman is too cold, too indifferent, and can't feel any emotions, as if she doesn't have the most basic emotions of human beings.

"Fellow Daoist, please."

The young man smiled and raised his glass.

They drank wine, and at the beginning, the young man was still chatting, but as he spoke, he gradually led the topic to the right track.

"I see that the clothes of the two fellow Daoists are not sect clothes, and there is no sect logo or clan emblem pattern."

"Presumably, the two fellow Daoists are loose cultivators, right?"

"Fellow Daoist has sharp eyes, and can see at a glance that we are loose cultivators."

"To be honest, we are indeed without a sect or faction, and we are not children of a cultivation family."

"Alas, it's really hard for you two."

"The road ahead for cultivation is full of thorns, and this road is too difficult."

"You two fellow Daoists are loose cultivators, and you have come to this day, you must have endured a lot of hardships and suffered a lot of sins."

"I see that the qualifications of the two fellow Daoists should be good. The feeling they give people is that their energy, spirit, and spirit are very strong."

"Why don't fellow Daoists consider joining a certain sect, so you can rely on the sect, and fellow disciples can help each other, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"We also thought about it, but there was a sudden situation that year, so we failed to become sect disciples."

"Now, we have just recovered, and it is indeed time to consider joining a sect."

"On this road of cultivation, it is indeed becoming more and more difficult. If there is a sect, it will be much better."

"Yes, I especially understand the hardships of loose cultivators."

The young man sighed, with a hint of memory in his eyes, "Actually, a long time ago, I was also a loose cultivator."

"Later, I joined the sect, and I found that it was really different."

"Although our sect is nothing in this world, in the area where we are, it is considered to be of high status."

"Back then, I was a first-order loose cultivator, living from hand to mouth. Since entering the sect, I have come step by step, and now I have been honored to the position of elder."

"Today, I have a fate with you two fellow Daoists."

"Since fellow Daoists want to join the sect, why not consider our sect?"

"Look, you have nowhere to go, and you have been staying in this inn for several days in a row."

"The consumption of this inn is not generally high."

"Why should fellow Daoists spend money unjustly?"

"You can keep this money and buy some resources."

"This..."

Jun Wuxie had a tangled expression, wanting to say something but stopping.

"Fellow Daoist doesn't need to consider anything else."

"As long as the two fellow Daoists agree to join our sect, how about we directly make the two of you sect guardians?"

The young man said with a smile, but his words were very serious.

His heart was filled with confidence.

How could such rogue cultivators not yearn to join a power?

Adding to that the promise he made of a Guardian position, these two had no reason to refuse.

"Fellow Daoist, your conditions are so generous, we don't know what reason we'd have to refuse.

Qingqian, what do you think?

Jun Wuxie looked at Mo Qingli, smiling as he introduced the young-looking man, "This one is called Su Qingqian, my fellow rogue cultivator. I am Yuan Chu, and I hope to receive your guidance within the sect in the future."

"Guidance is too much to ask, but within my capabilities, I will certainly look after you.

Haha, I always thought this Fairy Su was your Dao companion."

"Just fellow rogue cultivators, friends. We've been through life and death together many times, sharing hardships."

"Since you've already decided, I naturally have nothing to say. You decide."

Mo Qingli responded, his voice clear and cold, like a stream of icy spring water flowing into one's heart, giving one a feeling of coldness all over.

"Good, then it's decided."

"Yuan Chu, from today onwards, you and Fairy Su will be my fellow disciples.

However, entering the sect still requires completing the normal procedures.

Why don't you go and pack your things now, and return to the sect with me to complete the entry ceremony?"

"Alright, we didn't want to stay here for long anyway, we were always going to leave.

Now that we have a sect, we naturally won't continue to stay here."

"Hold on!"

A voice interrupted their conversation.

All eyes instantly focused on that person.

This was a middle-aged man, looking to be in his forties or fifties, with a pale face and no beard.

He looked at the young-looking Elder with a mocking expression, and said to Jun Wuxie: "Fellow Daoist, you must not believe his promises, perhaps this person has ulterior motives.

I just can't stand seeing people deceive rogue cultivators.

The lives of rogue cultivators are already very difficult, yet there are still people who want to make their lives even worse. This kind of behavior is extremely shameful!"

"He Jing! Don't you dare spout nonsense here!

What, are you jealous that my sect has two more Guardians with good talent?

Wanting to sow discord here, I think you're daydreaming.

Yuan Chu has his own judgment.

These rogue cultivators have walked on thin ice all the way, they know who is sincere and who is scheming like a mirror.

Do you think your inferior tricks can escape the eyes of Yuan Chu and Fairy Su?"

The young Elder looked angry.

"Hmph, you know what you're thinking.

Fellow Daoist, don't believe his nonsense.

If you want to join a sect, then come to our sect.

Our promise of a Guardian position is sincere, unlike some people!"

"Hahaha, He Jing, your fox tail is showing so quickly?"

The young Elder retorted, "You're just jealous, wanting to snatch people away, fabricating these things to slander my sect. Don't you think you're going too far?"

"I think Fellow Daoist He Jing is right."

"I also think so."

… …

For a time, many people in the hall walked towards here, "Fellow Daoist Yuan Chu, don't be fooled, think twice!"

They were all anxious, they didn't expect this Yuan Chu to really agree.

At first, they also wanted to try, but thinking that Su Qingqian was too indifferent, with an 'outsiders keep away' look, they wanted to seek other ways.

But they didn't expect that the Elders of other sects would actually make a move beforehand, and even succeed!

If this Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian fell into their hands, wouldn't their sect miss such a great opportunity?

Therefore, they naturally wouldn't easily let Elder Zeng Jia succeed.

"Your jealous looks are so ugly.

It's a pity, Yuan Chu won't be successfully incited by you.

Yuan Chu, am I right?

You and I are destined to meet here.

I cherish talent, inviting you to join the sect and become our sect's Guardians, all from the bottom of my heart.

I believe Yuan Chu, you can feel it."

"Elder, no need to worry, I naturally won't believe what they say."

Saying this, he looked at the higher-ups of the various forces, and said: "Everyone, I appreciate your kindness.

Today, since I have already agreed to Elder Zeng, how can I go back on my word.
