Chapter 231 Cos Boss

Traveling light was more relaxing and comfortable than Jiang Jiu had imagined. The wind blowing against his cheeks made him feel very happy.

Jiang Jiu squinted his eyes in enjoyment and walked along the path.

Suddenly, a quarrel was heard not far away. Jiang Jiu stopped and pricked up her ears. After a while, she frowned and realized that something was wrong.

"Want to go check it out?"

Xiao Lingying also noticed that her master seemed to be curious.

"Yes."

Jiang Jiu dropped two words and quietly approached the two men and two women who were arguing with quiet cat steps. Judging from their clothes, they should be disciples from a certain sect who were out for training.

"Xiaoxia, what should we do? The hired boss ran away."

One of the long-haired women with a sword looked at the woman next to her with a sad face, which could be described as level ten despair.

"Who told you to talk nonsense?"

The girl called Xiaoxia slapped her forehead suddenly, looking helpless.

"I'm not talking nonsense... Didn't I just say that the true number one sect in the current cultivation world must be the Juetian Sect..."

One of the boys with a baby face was mumbling something and seemed very unconvinced.

"Please, that boss is from the Qinghuo Sect!"

The woman named Xiaoxia was speechless and made a 'please' gesture to the baby-faced man.

Jiang Jiu was listening nearby and quickly brainstorming, but it took her a long time before she remembered the Qinghuo Sect.

According to the villagers at the foot of the mountain, it is the second largest sect in the world of cultivation, second only to the Juetian Sect. In terms of the number of people, it even has more people than the Juetian Sect.

"What's wrong with the Qinghuo Sect? Just practice more if you're new."

The baby-faced man said unconvinced.

"So? Who's going to take us down to the secret realm now? The secret realm is about to open, and you've lost the popularity. Will we go in for nothing?"

Judging from Xiaoxia's tone, she was almost furious.

Seeing that the two men were about to quarrel, the other man who had been silent the whole time and looked gentle finally spoke.

"There are still a few hours left. I'll go look for any cultivators above the Jindan stage who are willing to lead us."

"Brothers should not confront each other."

The man comforted the other three people, then turned around and was about to leave. However, in order to eat the melon up close, Jiang Jiu stood very close to the four people. As soon as the man turned his head, he happened to meet Jiang Jiu's eyes.

The air was suspiciously quiet for a few seconds, then the man blinked and walked straight towards Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu's expression froze for a moment. She subconsciously touched her face, but quickly remembered that she was using a disguise technique and that the man should not be able to find her. She heaved a sigh of relief and became very calm. She just stood there waiting for him to come over.

Although eavesdropping is wrong, this person wouldn't want to kill to silence the witness, right?

Jiang Jiu thought uncertainly.

While she was thinking, the man had already taken a few big strides and came in front of Jiang Jiu. Before Jiang Jiu could speak, the man suddenly bent down and bowed 90 degrees.

Jiang Jiu's hand, which was about to be raised, stopped in mid-air, and a bunch of question marks appeared in his head.

"No offense, I am Ye Qingyuan, a disciple of Changyun Sect. Ahead is the Immortal Stone Secret Realm that opens only once every hundred years. Our cultivation is not good enough, so it is difficult for us to survive in this secret realm. However, our sect has a map to various treasures in this secret realm. If the fairy is willing to protect us in this secret realm, we are willing to use this as an exchange."

Ye Qingyuan spoke sincerely, and Jiang Jiu could vaguely catch a glimpse of the shocked looks of the three people behind him.

"I.... um, sure."

Jiang Jiu originally planned to refuse, but when she thought of the baby-faced boy behind Ye Qingyuan who was so dedicated to protecting the Juetian Sect, and since she had nothing to do for the time being, she might as well accompany them to the next secret realm.

"real?!"

Ye Qingyuan's eyes flashed with surprise, as if he didn't expect Jiang Jiu to agree so readily.

"real."

Jiang Jiu nodded, his tone calm.

"Very good!"

When Ye Qingyuan heard the affirmative answer, he was so happy that he almost jumped up, but when he met Jiang Jiu's cold and indifferent eyes, he immediately calmed down.

He tried hard to suppress his uncontrollable smile. There was still happiness in his eyes, but his tone of voice had become much calmer.

"May I ask the fairy..."

Ye Qingyuan asked cautiously. The most powerful elder of their small sect was only at the Jindan stage. The person in front of him was surrounded by rich spiritual energy, so he must be at more than the Jindan stage. He could be at the Yuanying stage or even the Shenhua stage. They had to show great respect.

"Ginger wine."

Jiang Jiu spoke briefly, dropped her name, and prepared to move forward. Jiang Jiu was in a pretty good mood. She treated this as a max-level character leading a small character to clear a dungeon.

The four people behind him followed Jiang Jiu silently. They were as obedient as quails at first, but after hearing the name, the whispers behind them suddenly became louder.

"Big Boss actually has the same name as Fairy Qingyuan!"

"Look at the back, I feel like the boss's back is similar. I once saw Fairy Qingyuan at the Juetian Sect's Cultivation Competition, and they really look alike."

“Could it be…?”

Before the girl could even utter her guess, she was interrupted by another person without hesitation.

"How could such a powerful figure as Fairy Qingyuan appear here?"

Jiang Jiu walked in front, paused quietly, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

Of course she was amused.

Is there a possibility that she is the Fairy Qingyuan?

"Don't talk nonsense. If you make this big guy angry again, we'll really have to go home."

Xiaoxia slapped the baby-faced boy's head fiercely and warned him in a low voice.

"oh."

The baby-faced boy was not convinced, but this time he finally stopped talking nonsense and kept his mouth shut.

The entrance to the secret realm of immortal stones is hidden in a mountain wall. At this moment, the mountain is full of monks, all of whom are frantically searching for its entrance. The sooner they can enter the secret realm, the more resources they can obtain.

In fact, the normal opening time of the Immortal Stone Secret Realm should be two years later, but due to the influence of the strange phenomena in heaven and earth caused by Jiang Jiu's realm breakthrough, the secret realm was opened two years in advance.

The five-member team was searching for the entrance in the mountains. Of course, they were the only ones looking for it, and Jiang Jiu was only responsible for staring at the scenery and slacking off.

"Boss, there's some unusual movement here."

As they were walking, Ye Qingyuan's expression suddenly became stern, and the compass in his hand that he was using for detection suddenly turned.

"Let's go."

Jiang Jiu changed direction and just walked into the woods ahead, she felt a chill and a strong murderous intent from something hidden in the dark.

"Protect yourselves, something is coming out."

Jiang Jiu sighed and reminded softly.

But just as she finished speaking, she felt a gust of cold wind whistling across her cheek, and then the ghost rushed towards her at such a fast speed that an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator would not be able to react in time.
