The border area appears to be relatively peaceful on the surface.

At least Wu Er didn't see any cloud boats or spirit cannons, nor a large number of sect cultivators.

Wu Er could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At least the three from Zhongzhou haven't discovered anything yet, nor have they used this strange disease to gain profit again.

This gave Wu Er more time to react and make arrangements.

The more you prepare now, the less danger you will face in the future.

"Although we haven't discovered it yet, we still need to urge the sects to prepare."

As Wu Er flew through the air, he touched his chin, pondering and talking to himself.

A few days ago, Wu Er convened a meeting with most of the high-ranking officials. In addition, given the recent major moves by Pengshan Sect, it was only a matter of time before Zhongzhou and even the demon race discovered them.

It's always good to prepare quickly before problems arise.

Looking up at the sky, cumulus clouds gathered, indicating that there wouldn't be any good weather around here.

Although he had explained the arrangements and was patrolling the area, Wu Er still felt uneasy.

He had a premonition that something big was about to happen!

Whether it was the information learned after leaving the country or some seemingly accidental events, it all seemed to be a foreshadowing... or more accurately, like a buried iron block. No one knew whether it was just an iron block or a bomb.

Just as he was feeling troubled, Wu Er suddenly had a premonition.

Wu Er frowned, muttering with some confusion, "Why is this person here?"

He sensed a familiar aura, the aura of an old acquaintance.

Normally, Wu Er wouldn't take it seriously, but at times like this, he had to pay attention.

Exhaling, Wu Er adopted the air of a superior and said to the sky, "You came here specifically to find me?"

At that moment, a figure appeared on the horizon, and this figure rapidly approached Wu Er.

Not only did they get close, but the person must have also used magic to reply.

"Of course I'm looking for you. Otherwise, who would come here for no reason?"

His voice was fairly calm, but his words were somewhat stiff.

Who is this person?

Wu Er could tell who it was just by hearing the voice.

To be able to openly speak to Wu Er, this immortal, one must be at the same level as Wu Er in strength; otherwise, one wouldn't have the courage.

If it appears on the border between Zhongzhou and Donghuang, then it means it is not a demon saint.

Clearly, this is an immortal.

Listen to the tone of voice.

There are three more immortals in Zhongzhou. Dong Zongshu of the Chaoran Sect is a man of few words, speaking very briefly and in an old-fashioned manner, and he always likes to use his voice to induce strange phenomena.

Although the words were simple and archaic, they didn't sound old-fashioned.

As for the Grand Master of the Hunyuan Sect, Wu Er knew what kind of person he was. That Grand Master was someone who wanted to show off all his domineering aura, and he was extremely arrogant in his speech.

If a celestial being from the Hunyuan Sect were to see Wu Er, he would probably start cursing him right away.

Therefore, the answer is quite obvious.

Besides the Chaoran Sect and the Hunyuan Sect, there is only the Shengyi Sect left.

As one of the three great immortal sects in Zhongzhou, this family is much quieter than the other two.

In the cultivation world, there are almost no genius rankings that are passed down, and there are hardly any people who belong to a particular sect.

Even the people of the Sheng sect rarely go out to train. Apart from some very important secret realms and some routine exchanges, you can hardly see any cultivators from their sect.

It may be related to their sect's concept that "all things in heaven and earth are one, and one can be enlightened by sitting in meditation and understanding the Dao."

So, this is a bunch of old otaku.

But now, this group of otaku's ancestors have suddenly come out to look for Wu Er, which is very strange.

If Wu Er remembers correctly, the leader of this otaku... also known as the immortal of the Sheng Yi sect, is named Xiu Xiansheng.

In a daze, the immortal Xiu Xiansheng of the Sheng Yi sect was already in front of him.

Wu Er glanced at this person.

His clothes were rather ordinary, a black and white robe with a tai chi pattern on the hem, somewhat like the clothes worn by a swindler.

His appearance is alright, but there's something indescribable about him... He seems too ordinary, so ordinary that I don't even want to be alone with him.

Besides these, Xiu Xiansheng also carried a scroll on his back.

The two exchanged glances, and Wu Er spoke first, "What do you want with me?"

Xiu Xiansheng replied, "Something has come up."

Without exchanging pleasantries, Wu Er said directly, "Just say what you need to say."

Xiu Xiansheng was neither as old-fashioned and shameless as Dong Zongshu, nor as fond of riddles as Dafo. If he heard it was to be straightforward, then he truly was.

"I noticed you've been hanging around here for a while, so I came to ask you something."

Well, it seems that Wu Er's current behavior has already attracted the attention of the Three Immortals.

When faced with this question, Wu Er's answer was simple: "I saw you guys were making too many moves, so I came to see if there was anything here."

"You really don't know how to talk." Xiu Xiansheng didn't react much, just shook his head and said, "There's no reason to bring up the conflicts between immortals."

Wu Er then said, "Everyone in the world knows this, so why keep it hidden?"

Faced with the question, Xiu Xiansheng thought for a moment and then said, "Who knows? Isn't this the usual pattern in human relationships?"

After these words were spoken, the two remained silent for a moment.

Wu Er broke the silence first, saying, "Any more questions? If not, I'll be leaving."

After saying this, Wu Er turned around and prepared to fly away.

"Wait a minute." Xiu Xiansheng gestured, "I have something else to say!"

Wu Er stopped, turned around, and asked, "What is it?"

Just like last time, Xiu Xiansheng spoke very directly: "I feel like you guys are about to start fighting. You guys fight your own battles, don't drag the Sheng faction into it. Although the Three Immortals of the Human Race is a general term, they are actually three different sects."

After saying this, Xiu Xiansheng left without offering any polite farewells.

After a moment's thought, Wu Er understood the meaning behind the words.

Xiu Xiansheng made it very clear—you can fight to the death, but don't drag me into it. We're on the same side, we won't help anyone, we'll just watch the show from the sidelines!

"Do you want to remain unaffected by the trend?"

A great war is definitely brewing in the world; it's just a matter of when it will begin. It's an unseen trend.

This can be determined from recent events.

Xiu Xiansheng clearly didn't want to get involved, as killing and injuring people were common in chaotic times.

Although immortals can survive by virtue of their strength, what about their disciples?

Therefore, Xiu Xiansheng first expressed his stance to Wu Er, wanting to remain neutral forever.

Wu Er naturally didn't want to have more enemies, so it was good to have a neutral faction.

But under such circumstances, how many people can remain neutral?

It is said that immortals possess boundless power and can roam freely throughout the world.

But in Wu Er's eyes, it was just a stronger fish.

Even though it is stronger than other fish and can roam freely in the river, it still cannot fight back against the current when faced with floods.

They either drowned in the flood or drifted downstream to find safety.

"Hmm, it's getting dark again."

Wu Er looked up.

I realized that the sun had set sometime earlier.
