#2729 - Mysterious colors

"Brother Bao, when do you think the people from Jinyun Immortal Sect will arrive at White Sand Ancient Town?"

"What's wrong? Still a little uneasy?"

Bao Dazui looked at him and laughed.

"Of course, that's a top-tier Dao lineage.

We, as rogue cultivators, the most impressive figures we've ever met in our lives, what level are they really?

To be honest, I'm a little nervous."

"What are you nervous about? You have the experience of being trapped in the Great Tomb Fortress for ten thousand years and not dying.

Just for that, the Jinyun Immortal Sect won't mistreat you.

Even if the sect rules prevent you from directly becoming formal disciples, even being a nominal disciple, the treatment won't be comparable to ordinary nominal disciples.

Besides, people from top-tier Dao lineages, unless there are major conflicts of interest or grudges, are generally quite amiable.

You guys, take good care of yourselves in the town.

The Jinyun Immortal Sect is relatively far from White Sand Ancient Town, so the transmission of news will be somewhat delayed.

I estimate they probably won't arrive for another day or two.

Before that, prepare yourselves mentally.

Prepare yourselves to welcome a bright future, haha!"

"Phew—"

Jun Wuxie breathed a long sigh, and his expression became much more relaxed. "Listening to you, Brother Bao, I don't feel so nervous anymore."

"That's right, it's a good thing, a great opportunity, what's there to be nervous about? You should be excited and thrilled!"

Jun Wuxie smiled.

He had already gotten the answer he wanted.

As for when the people from Jinyun Immortal Sect would arrive, naturally the local forces of Yuzhou would know better.

After all, Mo Qingli's understanding of Yuzhou was from tens of thousands of years ago.

One or two more days, that was enough time.

The Earth Vein Source Fluid beneath the Poyun Immortal Gate had yet to be retrieved.

Once he arrived at White Sand Ancient Town, he would have to quietly return and retrieve the Earth Vein Source Fluid.

That was a special resource that could break through realms in a short amount of time, a rare treasure of world-class level, hard to come by.

The immortal ship was very fast.

In just half an hour, it had already arrived at the ancient town, landing outside the town.

Their group entered the city, attracting the attention of many people.

Now the whole town knew about Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian, and had seen their portraits.

Knowing that they had entered the Great Tomb Fortress and been trapped inside for ten thousand years, and still managed to come out alive, it was simply a miracle!

Everyone was curious how they had survived for ten thousand years inside, and how they had come out.

Not only were the people on the streets curious, but Bao Dazui, who was traveling with them, was also curious.

He just restrained himself from asking.

After all, Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian were destined to be people of the Jinyun Immortal Sect.

The Jinyun Immortal Sect should be the first to know everything about the Great Tomb Fortress.

If the Jinyun Immortal Sect knew that he had asked Brother Yuan Chu about the Great Tomb Fortress, he was afraid there would be trouble.

Along the way, passing by many tea houses, taverns, and other places on the street, there were pairs of sharp eyes looking over from inside.

Those eyes carried unwillingness, envy, and jealousy.

These people were from different forces, rushing over from other places, but they were still one step late.

They didn't expect the people from the Minghu Immortal Gate to act so quickly, taking the lead in going to the Poyun Immortal Gate to rescue Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian.

This was a favor.

It was a pity that they hadn't seized the opportunity and been preempted by the Minghu Immortal Gate.

"Elder, what do we do now?

Look at Bao Dazui, he's smiling so much his face is about to bloom, smug and forgetful, humph!"

"What else can we do? Things have come to this, let's wait and see.

The Minghu Immortal Gate has good luck, there's nothing we can do."

"Should we go and give gifts to Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian?

They are rogue cultivators, they must be lacking resources.

Let's give them some relatively rare resources, I believe they will like them very much."

"Fool! Give what gifts?"

That elder glared at the person who made the suggestion, "Do you think our actions here can ultimately escape the eyes of the Jinyun Immortal Sect?

Going to give gifts to Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian, what will the Jinyun Immortal Sect think after they know?

Isn't this clearly wanting to curry favor with the people of the Jinyun Immortal Sect by bribing them?

If we encounter someone in the Jinyun Immortal Sect who doesn't like this kind of behavior, it will only backfire.

There are many things we don't understand and are not sure of, so let's be patient and wait and see.

Besides, Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian may not necessarily be valued by the Jinyun Immortal Sect.

If their own talents are not good, the Jinyun Immortal Sect will only care about the information in their minds about the Great Tomb Fortress."

"Elder is right, I was impulsive…"

That person quickly admitted their mistake and said no more.

… …

Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli came to that inn again and met the innkeeper.

The innkeeper didn't seem surprised when he saw them, smiling and greeting them.

He hadn't expected things to evolve like this.

It was because of this that these two escaped the abyss.

Otherwise, who knows what the people of the Poyun Immortal Gate would have done to them in the end.

Now that the news has spread, all the major forces know.

Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian have become hot commodities.

"Innkeeper, give my Brother Yuan Chu the best courtyard."

Bao Dazui stood in front of the counter, pulled out a few hundred-yuan Heavenly Dao Coins from his pocket, and slapped them in front of the innkeeper.

"It's not yet known how many days my Brother Yuan Chu will be staying.

Innkeeper, please keep these coins for now, refunding any surplus and making up for any shortage.

Notify me at any time if there's not enough, and I'll make it up.

This is the rune imprint to contact me.

Oh, and also, whatever my Brother Yuan Chu needs, as long as it's within the scope of the services you provide, you must satisfy it, money is no problem."

"Elder of the Minghu Immortal Gate, rest assured, with your words, how dare we neglect him."

The innkeeper happily put away the few hundred-yuan Heavenly Dao Coins, and smilingly handed the room key to Jun Wuxie.

"Innkeeper, I said I would come back to stay at your inn, I didn't break my word, right?"

"Little friend is blessed, I am happy for you."

The innkeeper was also in a good mood.

In recent days, he had always thought about this matter in his heart.

Ever since the news spread, especially when even the Tianxia Trust Building released the news, he began to worry a lot, but thinking about it, he didn't worry so much anymore.

This might be a good thing, it could save Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian's lives.

Sure enough, they have now returned safely, and even the elder of the Minghu Immortal Gate is so friendly to them, showing them goodwill.

It seems that Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian are about to embark on a completely different path from the past.

"Brother Yuan Chu, you and Fairy Su, take good care of yourselves, if you need anything, you can directly find me."

He drew a rune imprint in Jun Wuxie's hand, "Contact me if you need anything, I'm in a nearby inn."

"Brother Bao isn't staying at this inn?

Also, she's not your sister-in-law, we're just friends who have gone through thick and thin together."

"Ah ha, is that so? We have a lot of people, and the rooms in this inn are scarce and the prices are not affordable.

That's it, I won't disturb you anymore."

Bao Dazui turned and left.

"Little friend, Elder Bao is very good to you.

He himself is reluctant to stay at my inn, but he has arranged everything properly for you, wanting only the best."

"My Brother Bao is indeed a good person."

Jun Wuxie responded with a smile, then walked into the inn's residential area with Mo Qingli.

Bao Dazui, although he has his own little thoughts, is generally a good person.

At least Jun Wuxie didn't feel any falseness from him.

All of his expressions and emotions came from the heart.

"Lord Jun, you should still return to the Poyun Immortal Gate once, right?"

"Yes, the Earth Vein Source Fluid has not yet been obtained, I must go there."

"Then Lord Jun, be careful, now in this ancient town, I don't know how many eyes are watching you.

Today, the tea houses and taverns along the street are full of people, and there are many Immortal Realm experts among them.

Although they are afraid of the Jinyun Immortal Sect, they dare not do anything to you.

But I'm afraid that other top-tier Dao lineages in Yuzhou have also received the news and are secretly plotting something, we must guard against it."

"Don't worry."

"By the way, this Minghu Immortal Gate, do you know anything about it?"

"I don't know much about it, I've only heard of it before, knowing that there is such a medium-sized force.

The Mixed Origin Fourteen Provinces are vast and boundless, and there are many top-tier Dao lineages in Yuzhou alone, and countless small and medium-sized forces.

Although I was the Divine Maiden of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect back then, the successor to the sect leader, I couldn't possibly know about so many forces one by one.

I only know more about the top-tier Dao lineages.

However, I know one thing, the Minghu Immortal Gate has experienced a great calamity.

For some unknown reason, their immortal gate fell from the clouds to the abyss overnight.

Since then, they disappeared without a trace, only to re-emerge thousands of years later."

"Oh? The Minghu Immortal Gate has such an experience."

Jun Wuxie was a little surprised, "So, the Minghu Immortal Gate was much stronger than it is now?"

"Yes, the Minghu Immortal Gate of the past was a great force, although it could not be compared with the top-tier Dao lineages, it was also a force that shook a region.

No one knows what happened to the Minghu Immortal Gate that night.

In short, in the eyes of the world, the Minghu Immortal Gate has some mysterious colors.

Although they have declined into a medium-sized immortal gate, other medium-sized immortal gates are very afraid of them.

At least that was the case when I was in this realm.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, time flies, it's hard to say whether the current situation is still the same."

"Minghu Immortal Gate…"

Jun Wuxie softly recited this name, "Brother Bao also has secrets.

Do you remember him patting my shoulder in the valley?

At that time, through physical contact, and because he didn't have much guard against me, I was able to detect the secret in his body at that time."

"What secret?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Mo Qingli's clear and desireless eyes.

There was something within his body, but there hadn't been enough time to see it clearly.

That thing was shrouded in mist, very mysterious, and within his bloodline, there was a special mark.

It wasn't an innate ancient bloodline mark, but a mark formed after birth.

That mark was in a dormant state, hidden very deeply. I suspect that he himself might not even know of the existence of the bloodline mark.

"Looking at it this way, Bao Dazui is truly not simple.

He's just an elder of the Bright Lake Immortal Sect.

Although he's a high-level figure, he can't be considered in the top echelon within the Bright Lake Immortal Sect, yet he harbors such astonishing secrets.

It seems this Bao Dazui has another origin. I wonder if his secrets are related to his background."

"That's right. Obtaining more information about Brother Bao in the future might help us understand."

"By the way, Lord Monarch, we haven't been to the Great Tomb Fortress.

If the Jinyun Immortal Sect wants you to draw the scene inside the Great Tomb Fortress, or share the scene in your memory with divine sense, how should we respond?

If we fabricate it casually, we'll definitely be exposed when we enter the Great Tomb Fortress."

"Therefore, I have to go to the Great Tomb Fortress, at least to figure out the general geographical environment of a small area inside."

"That would indeed be safer, but at the same time, there might be variables.

The Great Tomb Fortress is mysterious and unpredictable.

Of course, Lord Monarch, your methods are heaven-defying, and you naturally have nothing to fear. With the Dao Fruit of your previous life, nothing can do anything to you.

But I'm afraid that might cause abnormal phenomena to occur in the Great Tomb Fortress, thereby creating unforeseen complications and attracting more trouble."

"Being careful will prevent anything from happening. You can rest assured about this.

When the time comes, you can stay at the inn and wait for me to return."

"No, I want to go with Lord Monarch."

"Alright, tonight we'll retrieve the Earth Vein Source Liquid and take a look at the geographical environment of the Great Tomb Fortress.

We need to prepare as soon as possible. The people from the Jinyun Immortal Sect might arrive tomorrow, so we must seize the time."
