Chapter 424
Yu Xi knew that the Sushan Sect would be destroyed by Zhong Xian in the future.
But at this time, Sushan Sect, as the leader of the small sects and the sixth sect outside the five major sects, had the capital to be arrogant and was not easy to deal with.
Just like now, after seeing Cui Yuankui of the Songshan Sect collapse, they simply nodded and turned their spearheads towards Zhong Xian as if they hadn't seen anything:
"City Lord Zhong is truly a busy man. Not only did we, the immortal sect cultivators, not get a welcome here, but we even had to wait for you outside the city. As expected of the lord of the city known as the number one, you don't even take us immortal sect cultivators seriously."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the guards beside Zhong Xian changed.
What does it mean to be unwelcome?
They hadn't been informed beforehand, and after arriving, they'd been begging and pleading to be allowed into the city, but they'd pretended not to hear anything. Now they're turning the tables and blaming the city lord?!
The guards were anxious to speak, but Zhong Xian glanced at them sideways and signaled them to stay calm.
With Zhong Xian's reminder, they endured it and finally said nothing.
The monk of Sushan Sect felt regretful when he saw that the guards had controlled their temper. If the guards took the blame for him at this time, he could still accuse Zhong Xian of not being strict with his subordinates.
Zhong Xian calmly bowed to the monks and made a gesture to invite them in, saying neither servile nor arrogant:
"The immortals are truly forgetful. They forgot to notify us when they came. All of us in Qiuluo City were wholeheartedly welcoming the immortals to visit, and we had prepared a lot of singing, dancing, and fine wine. It's such a shame that we didn't even have time to set up the feast to welcome the immortals before they arrived. Please don't forget to remind us next time."
The monks of Sushan Sect said that Qiuluo City was frivolous and did not welcome the immortals, so Zhong Xian directly said that the monks deliberately did not inform them in advance.
The entire Qiuluo City was fully prepared to welcome the distinguished guest. You didn't tell us in advance, which resulted in the inability to put out the things to welcome the distinguished guest. Who can we blame?
The Sushan Sect monk's face turned ugly for a moment.
Seeing that they were still unwilling to go down the steps of the bell string and unwilling to enter the door, Cui Yuankui sneered and said:
"Xu Wencen, I think you've forgotten how you were miserably defeated by my sword half a year ago and how you knelt down to beg for mercy. Why, do you want me to remind you now?"
Among the cultivators sent by Sushan this time, the leader Xu Wencen had the same cultivation level as Cui Yuankui, but for some reason, Xu Wencen never defeated Cui Yuankui once and was defeated miserably every time.
Xu Wencen didn't expect Cui Yuankui to say this in front of so many people, and his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
At this moment, Zhong Xian echoed Cui Yuankui's words and raised his hand again, saying, "Immortal, please?"
This time Xu Wencen had no choice but to follow Zhong Xian down the stairs. He gritted his teeth and followed Zhong Xian into the city, his expression so ugly that he couldn't hide it.
Cui Yuankui did not follow. He walked at the end and looked around to make sure there was nothing unusual before walking into the city.
As they walked, he said to Yu Xi, "This group of cultivators who took shortcuts in the evil way, pursuing cultivation, have not made any progress in strength. They have brought shame to our ancestors!"
Generally, cultivators rely on experience to improve their cultivation little by little, which especially tests one's talent and hard work.
But nowadays, most cultivators only need external forces to quickly improve their cultivation, which is many times more efficient. They can quickly improve their cultivation by just sitting in the immortal gate every day. Who would be willing to go through the training slowly?
Yu Xi: “Chirp!”
Yes!
Medicine men, canvases, demon killers... and some messy cultivation methods that have not been discovered. Everyone's cultivation level increases fast enough, and all their conscience and morality have been eaten by dogs!
Cui Yuankui didn't understand Yu Xi's cry, but he could sense Yu Xi's anger, and immediately continued:
"This is all the fault of that Martial God."
God of War?
Yu Xi pricked up his ears.
"I don't know the specific details, I only heard from my master that before Songshan Sect's leader He Changqing went into seclusion, a man who claimed to be the God of War met with Leader He and said something to him.
"It was probably from that time that cultivators began to find a way to increase their cultivation by ignoring their Dao Heart, which is the evil way of cultivation."
Seeing Yu Xi's interest, Cui Yuankui held her in his arms, stroking her fur while telling her everything he knew, word by word:
"My master has researched this cultivation method. It's similar to falling demons, but it uses spiritual energy. The side effects can also be diverted with the help of external objects, such as torturing others to transfer the pain. It's probably a special cultivation method that the Martial God researched himself, but because it uses spiritual energy, it's been quickly promoted."
"Chi chi chi chi!"
So where did the God of War go?
Yu Xi raised his head and asked.
Cui Yuankui didn't understand the fox language and replied irrelevantly, "Are you worried about me? Don't worry. They don't have a heart for the Dao. Even if their cultivation is higher than mine, they can't defeat me. Although more and more cultivators are using evil ways to practice, Master and the others can still hold on."
No, I can't hold on.
Yu Xi knew clearly that the current immortal sect had completely degenerated.
The evil shortcuts that have been promoted today have become a recognized way of practice.
Yu Xi: “Boo!”
It seems that they targeted and eradicated the demon race because of this kind of cultivation?
Cui Yuankui rubbed Yu Xi's fox fur: "Well, I knew that my little sister really cares about me. I'll buy her some candied haws when I go back."
"嘤嘤嘤!"
no! ! !
When Yu Xi was furious, she suddenly noticed that most of the people living in houses outside the city were busy, but there were also a few people staring at them with unfriendly eyes.
When she squinted her eyes and looked carefully, the other person had already turned away and was chatting and laughing with the person next to him as if nothing had happened.
what happened?
Yu Xi felt vaguely uneasy.
Cui Yuankui followed the monks of Sushan Sect all the way, preventing them from running around and causing damage.
Anyone who tried to fall behind would be immediately pushed back by the tip of his sword.
Therefore, although the faces of the monks were extremely ugly, they still followed Zhong Xian obediently to the City Lord's Mansion.
With Zhong Xian's instructions, the City Lord's Mansion had prepared the process of receiving guests early, including delicious food, singing and dancing. Xu Wencen couldn't find any fault even if he wanted to.
But this time the other party came with bad intentions and had already made preparations when they arrived.
When Zhong Xian asked what they were doing here, Xu Wencen flicked his clothes and said arrogantly:
"Of course there is something wrong. City Lord Zhong, do you know that the Immortal Sect has discovered that the demon race is dangerous and too aggressive, so they are encircling and suppressing the demon race?"
"know."
Zhong Xian smiled faintly and replied, "As long as I can cooperate with the Immortal Sect, I will definitely fulfill my responsibilities. I will do my best to help."
Xu Wencen saw Zhong Xian lying with his eyes open and sneered, scolding him:
"Then why do I see nearly half of the demon race still in Qiuluo City!"
Zhong Xian was calm: "Xu Xianren, you may not know that the monsters in this city have never harmed anyone. The immortal monks of Songshan Sect are also aware of the situation here and have allowed it."
In short, it is legal and compliant.
