Chapter 285: We Don’t Accept Talkative People
“Li Daqiang?”
In front of the Guanhai Sect’s office in the Longshuang Great Marsh.
A disciple cast a suspicious glance at the spirit ore Song Jiulai had submitted.
There wasn’t actually any problem.
It was just that the quantity was too precise.
There were only two Dragon Breath Spirits inside; Song Jiulai wouldn’t part with even one more.
Fortunately, with the appearance of Dragon Breath Spirits, the Guanhai Sect placed immense trust in their detection methods and wouldn’t doubt Song Jiulai’s slightly lower quantity of Dragon Breath Spirit ore at all.
They simply thought she was a newcomer who wasn’t very skilled at collecting Dragon Breath Spirits.
A smaller quantity wouldn’t be an issue.
After all, in the first month, most only found five or six spirit ores containing Dragon Breath Spirits.
They were difficult to mine, and the reason for their high price was justified.
After the inspection, seeing no issues, the disciple nodded and said, “This month’s task is complete. Come back next month.”
Song Jiulai’s acting skills were now honed, and she even managed to show a hint of fawning on her face: “Yes.”
The disciple didn’t even spare another glance at Song Jiulai.
In the Longshuang Great Marsh, there were plenty of disciples like this.
Although the recent Demonic Cultivator incidents in Xuanwu City had caused some unrest, the wilderness was now garrisoned by extra Cultivators, and no news of incidents elsewhere had been heard.
However, Song Jiulai still saw disciples from many other Major Sects arriving in Xuanwu City.
The chance of encountering Cultivators on the road was much higher than before.
The benefit was that it was much safer now.
Except for those who were blind and wicked like the Tai Xuan Sect, disciples from Major Sects, relying on their status, would also deal with troublemakers they encountered.
This allowed Song Jiulai to settle down.
Lu Rufeng’s death was ill-timed; she had just killed Lu Rufeng when the Demonic Cultivator incident occurred. Now, Lu Rufeng’s matter had been suppressed.
Besides the Tai Xuan Sect, probably no one would truly care about an unknown Sect disciple like Song Abao anymore.
Song Jiulai looked at the map on the road.
She decided to change locations, heading to where there were more Spirit Materials.
The Moonlight Sword Art needed to be practiced!
How powerful these ancient techniques were, Song Jiulai would soon find out.
–
“Hmph, it seems you also know your life is important.”
Near the First Mountain, Jiang Lianhan turned his head and saw Zhang Xiuwen, a disciple from the Fierce Eagle Sect, suddenly appear.
A look of fear appeared on Jiang Lianhan’s face at the opportune moment: “I… I… didn’t you say you’d make me suffer if I didn’t come?”
Zhang Xiuwen narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Jiang Lianhan: “Enough nonsense. Whether your life can be saved depends on the value of your information!”
A month ago, Jiang Lianhan had encountered this Fierce Eagle Sect disciple, Zhang Xiuwen, in the wilderness.
The other party had almost killed him.
The price for sparing him was for Jiang Lianhan to act as an informant for the Flying Sparrow Sect.
Jiang Lianhan agreed without any scruples or psychological barriers.
Although everyone in the Longevity Sect knew about this.
This time, Jiang Lianhan would naturally bring some information.
“I’m just an ordinary disciple, I can’t possibly enter the core of the Flying Sparrow Sect…” As soon as Jiang Lianhan finished speaking, his neck was grabbed with immense force.
He was sent flying.
While cursing internally, Jiang Lianhan exclaimed in terror: “I… I only heard a Flying Sparrow Sect disciple casually mention that True Person Jing Que won’t return for at least another ten years.”
Zhang Xiuwen paused.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sense of being spied upon.
His expression instantly turned sharp: “Who?”
He looked around. The surrounding woods were quiet, with no movement.
But Zhang Xiuwen felt it clearly; someone was definitely lurking not far away.
Considering that the closest to the First Mountain were the Peach Blossom Sect and the Flying Sparrow Sect, Zhang Xiuwen’s actions were not exactly above board.
He hesitated for a moment, but his footsteps didn’t waver much.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from in front of Jiang Lianhan.
Only a voice remained in the air: “In a month, if you can’t find any valuable information, I’ll kill you.”
Jiang Lianhan: “……”
You damn scoundrel!
But he was also a little puzzled; what had Zhang Xiuwen sensed just now?
Although Jiang Lianhan wanted to instigate other Players to kill Zhang Xiuwen to eliminate future trouble, considering this scoundrel was from the Fierce Eagle Sect, if he had left a contingency, killing him could reveal that the attacker was from the Flying Sparrow Sect.
After all, the Players had shown their faces.
Fearing that it would lead to other troubles, the Players temporarily decided to spare Zhang Xiuwen’s life.
They only had Jiang Lianhan deliver some harmless, false information.
Jiang Lianhan touched his neck. Fortunately, he was a Puppet and didn’t feel anything.
But being choked must be uncomfortable.
Players had high self-esteem; being able to bend and stretch also meant being extremely vengeful.
I can’t deal with you now, but just you wait in the future!
Just as Jiang Lianhan was about to leave, he suddenly felt a chill on his scalp.
The System’s voice was even colder: “Look to your side, a few dozen meters away.”
Jiang Lianhan felt his whole body stiffen: “…Can I not look?”
System: “I think it’s probably not possible.”
Jiang Lianhan slowly, slowly turned his head to look.
The result surprised him somewhat.
It wasn’t a ghost.
It was a person wearing a black hooded robe.
Standing a few dozen meters behind him to the side.
Clearly, it was this person’s appearance that had scared Zhang Xiuwen away.
From the aura emanating from the other party, Jiang Lianhan sensed that they were also a disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Jiang Lianhan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, “So it’s a person!”
System: “…Then what did you think it was?”
Jiang Lianhan: “Judging by your tone just now, I thought I’d encountered a ghost!”
System: “……”
Since it was a person, there was nothing to be afraid of. Jiang Lianhan looked at the other party, recalling what had just happened. It was likely the other party’s aura that had scared Zhang Xiuwen away, at least saving him.
Jiang Lianhan quickly and respectfully called out, “Thank you for saving my life, Your Excellency.”
“Saving your life?” To his surprise, the other party spoke, revealing a hoarse voice of a Female Cultivator: “I was just passing by.”
It was clear that the other party did not admit to saving Jiang Lianhan.
But it didn’t matter; Jiang Lianhan had his own opinion: “Yes, Fellow Daoist was just passing by, but you did save my life.”
The Female Cultivator was silent for two seconds, then said, “He didn’t intend to kill you.”
Jiang Lianhan: “He intended to kill me next month.”
Female Cultivator: “……”
This conversation had a strange undertone.
Then the Female Cultivator asked, “Which way to the Flying Sparrow Sect?”
Jiang Lianhan’s eyes lit up: “So you’re going to the Flying Sparrow Sect? I am a disciple of the Flying Sparrow Sect, I can guide you there! I am Jiang Lianhan of the Flying Sparrow Sect, may I know how to address you, Fellow Daoist?”
“I am from the Netherworld Sect.”
The other party stated their Sect, but not their name.
Jiang Lianhan was surprised again.
Isn’t the Netherworld Sect the Sect furthest from their Flying Sparrow Sect, located at the border?
What a coincidence; the Sect had been eyeing the Netherworld Sect’s mineral veins recently, and now someone had arrived.
Jiang Lianhan became even more enthusiastic: “So you are a Fellow Daoist from the Netherworld Sect. I have long admired the Netherworld Sect. Back then, I originally wanted to join the Netherworld Sect…”
Before he could finish, he was brutally interrupted by the Female Cultivator: “We don’t accept people who talk too much.”
Jiang Lianhan: ?
Say that again?
