Chapter 329

Off the beaten track speculation

Ling Mochen nodded, looking alert.

"The murderous intent is slight, but since the target is directed at me, there will be no mistakes on that side."

He is a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. It is normal for him to feel something when someone shows murderous intent towards him.

I just don’t know who this person is?

Is he from Baicao Xianfu? Or someone from Crescent Moon Fairy City?

Yan Qingyan sat next to Ling Mochen, stroking her chin and thinking, "We just arrived in Xinyue Immortal City today, so we won't offend anyone. Maybe it's someone from Baicao Immortal Mansion?"

After she and Mo Chen left Baicao Xianfu, they passed through an uninhabited forest and came directly to this city that never sleeps.

Apart from the Baicao Immortal Mansion, the only place where cultivators in the Great Thousand Worlds had come into contact with people was Xinyue Immortal City. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that the person was from the Baicao Immortal Mansion.

"Who could it be? Taoist Wuwang? He lost the duel with you in the competition." Yan Qingyan guessed randomly.

Ling Mochen shook his head, "Master Wuwang's cultivation is not enough for me to sense such a crisis, and..." He didn't think that fellow Taoist was a petty person.

"Who could it be? Could it be that person saw that I won so many fairy crystals in the competition and wanted to kill me for the treasure?" Yan Qingyan felt that this guess was very reliable.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many conflicts over interests.

When she was in Xuan Gan Continent, she had seen cultivators fighting to the death for a piece of spirit stone. It was not impossible that he would risk leaving his home and following the two of them just for so many immortal crystals.

Ling Mochen lowered his head in thought, and obviously agreed with Yan Qingyan's reason.

The overall realm of the cultivators in the Great Thousand World is much higher than that in the Tianxuan World, but in the struggle for interests, the essence has not changed at all.

Even the immortals wage war over the ownership of their immortal lands, not to mention the huge number of cultivators below the immortals.

"Humph, these immortal crystals were earned by me with my 'eagle-eyed' wisdom. Which bastard dares to get something for nothing?" Yan Qingyan frowned.

She really didn't like people thinking about her baby.

Even if she crossed several continents, even if she changed the world, she still didn't like it.

Killing people for treasure touched her sore spot.

"I just don't know what level of cultivation the other party has. If he is in the middle or late stage of the Tribulation Crossing, or even in the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Crossing, I can try to fight him, but if he is a half-immortal..."

There was caution in Ling Mochen's eyes. It was not easy for him and Qingyan to get to where they are today, so they should act with caution.

"Let me explore first."

After Yan Qingyan finished speaking, she took out a seed.

The seeds fell to the ground and disappeared silently into the dust.

Under the ground of Crescent Moon Fairy City, a touch of new green quietly sprouted, and countless roots extended in all directions like rapidly growing hair.

In order to prevent any abnormality from being detected by powerful people, Yan Qingyan buried the seeds very deep underground and wrapped them with wood-related abilities, without leaking a single bit of wood spirit power.

The root system extends ten miles, a hundred miles, a thousand miles, ten thousand miles, a hundred thousand miles...

Until it extends to the boundary of the Crescent City Gate and extends out of the city.

Yan Qingyan complained in her heart that it turned out that the cities in the Great Thousand World were just like those in the Profound Heaven World, only protecting the sky and not paying attention to the underground.

There are no-fly bans in the sky, a city defense formation, and a protective shield...

The ground is heavily guarded, with guards and patrols...

Only underground, with a protection of only ten feet deep and an additional layer of restriction that prohibits the art of escaping underground, there is no other obstacle.

This gave Yan Qingyan a lot of convenience.

Yan Qingyan sensed carefully, looking for possible enemies.

After a long time, he opened his eyes.

"How is it?" Ling Mochen asked.

Yan Qingyan shrugged and said, "There are men in black waiting outside the inn."

She didn't expect the other party to be so blatant and actually hid at the door of the inn they rented.

Ling Mochen was stunned, and his spiritual sense quietly probed.

Sure enough, in a shadow, I saw a mysterious man wearing a black robe and a mask.

"That person rarely has the aura of plant spirits." Yan Qingyan looked a little puzzled.

Most of the cultivators in Baicao Xianfu carry the aura of plant spirits.

But if there weren't a few spiritual trees in the place where the man was hiding, it would have been difficult for her to detect his existence.

You have good skills in hiding, but unfortunately you ran into me, who is the best at reconnaissance.

Ling Mochen: “?”

"Could it be that they are not from Baicao Xianfu?"

Ling Mochen was puzzled.

In the Great Thousand Worlds, they encountered very few cultivators. Apart from the people from Baicao Immortal Mansion, all those they came into contact with conducted transactions anonymously in the cloud trading market, and neither party revealed any real information.

Who else?

Yan Qingyan began to use her imagination again, "Maybe it was a senior who ascended from the Tianxuan Realm in the past?"

"There has been no ascension in the Tianxuan Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, but in the Great Thousand Worlds, there are countless ways to prolong the lifespan of cultivators. Perhaps the old predecessors of our Tianxuan Realm could really live that long."

"But think about it, how did we ascend?"

Yan Qingyan's eyes lit up, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. "We have already ascended to the Mahayana stage, so we won't be envied!"

During the competition, those monks kept calling each other "those who took the back door".

Why is it that every time Mo Chen takes the stage, someone always emphasizes this point so much?

It must be envy, jealousy and hatred!

The more you emphasize something, the more you care about it.

Yan Qingyan thought about it and felt something was wrong, "No, I don't think the Immortal Senior would be so petty."

If it arouses jealousy, those cultivators who have been stuck in the Mahayana stage for a long time and have not made any progress are the most jealous.

"Or maybe someone heard about our situation and is looking for trouble?"

Yan Qingyan felt that she had guessed the truth.

Ling Mochen was speechless. He really admired Qingyan's guess. She could come up with so many reasons why others wanted to harm him in such a short time.

At first glance, he thought it all seemed ridiculous.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.

He had seen cultivators like Yin Siwen. There were so many cultivators in the universe in billions, so it was reasonable for there to be more people like Yin Siwen and elders like Yin Bufan.

"We didn't hide our faces at the night market. Maybe someone recognized us and told others about our deeds." Ling Mochen followed Yan Qingyan's imagination and guessed.

The more I think about it, the more I think this is the case.

When Yan Qingyan heard this, she felt a sense of satisfaction of being recognized.

She also showed off her intelligence in front of Mo Chen!

Yan Qingyan clapped her hands together and said, "That's right. When people mention us, the first and most familiar label is 'backdoor'!"

"Then there are those jealous cultivators who are dissatisfied and vent their frustration from long-term fruitless practice on you and me." Ling Mochen continued what Yan Qingyan said.

"Yes! Jealousy can change a person beyond recognition. That person may not be capable, but he has a powerful backer who sent people to cause trouble for us!" Yan Qingyan continued to deduce.

You can also kill people and steal their treasures!

They were able to ascend to the Mahayana stage, so they must have some great secret or opportunity!

This is a question that anyone can guess!

"But..." Ling Mochen was still a little confused, "Why is that murderous intent only directed at me?"

Yan Qingyan was stunned, obviously stumped by the question.

Could it be that the man was attracted by her beauty? Want to capture her and make her the 108th concubine?

hiss--

Yan Qingyan shook her shoulders, clearing the image from her mind, and felt a chill in her heart.

Ling Mochen:? ? ?

Qingyan, what have you thought of now?
