"What?!"
Upon hearing this, many monks who heard about this for the first time showed shocked expressions.
They have only been in seclusion for a few months, how come the world outside has changed so much?
The male cultivator put down his chopsticks, sighed, and continued, "The Ten Thousand Swords Spirit Realm is about to fall into chaos. How can the upper-level cultivators care about avenging Sword Master?"
The more Jiang Deng listened, the more dumbfounded he became.
She had returned to the Myriad Swords Spirit Realm with the intention of provoking the people there to go after Lin Jun and settle scores. She would then reap the benefits of their conflict, but in reality, no one cared about her third disciple's life or death...
I have to say that Duan Chuan's performance as a swordsman was quite unsuccessful.
Jiang Deng touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
The Sword Pavilion is now occupied by the Xiahou Patriarch, and no one knows how powerful this Patriarch is...
Thinking of this, Jiang Deng asked directly, "Fellow Daoist, I wonder how strong is the Xiahou Patriarch?"
"Ha ha!"
The male cultivator was amused by Jiang Deng's question. "As a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Spirit Realm, how could you possibly not know the strength of Ancestor Xiahou?"
Jiang Deng shook his head.
Ancestor Xiahou never gave her any spirit stones, so how could she remember this person?
What's more, when she was a powerful figure in the Ten Realms in her previous life, the Wanjian Spirit Realm didn't even have the four major families. How could she know about this guy?
"Let me put it this way. The reason the Xiahou family has been able to maintain its position as the leader of the Four Great Families is because they have a powerful being in the Tribulation Realm. Although he hasn't yet reached the Supreme level, he is still one of the strongest in the Ten Thousand Swords Spirit Realm! With the Sword Master gone, it's only natural that he will become the Lord of the Ten Thousand Swords Spirit Realm!"
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched. "Then how does the strength of this Xiahou Patriarch compare to that of the Pei Family Patriarch?"
Pei Yu was killed by Chi Lian with just one punch. If they try harder, they should be able to kill this Xiahou Ancestor, right?
"Hmph," the male cultivator said bluntly, without the slightest respect for the deceased. "What's the Pei family ancestor? The Pei family ancestor is only at the early stage of the Tribulation Realm. The Xiahou ancestor is indeed in the middle stage of the Tribulation Realm and is about to break through to the late stage!"
Jiang Deng: “…”
It seems that Pei Yu had done so many things before, scheming against Yun Haoran and his three disciples, but in the end he was helping others. I have to say, he was a great assist.
Jiang Deng rubbed his brows, which were aching with headache, and decided to think carefully about his next plan.
It is obviously impossible to go to Jiange right away. How about going to Nangong Xiangrui to get some information?
"Hey, there's one more thing, have you heard of it?"
The male cultivator glanced mysteriously at the guests at the surrounding tables. Although he lowered his voice deliberately, the sound was still clear enough for the cultivators on the second floor to hear.
"The young master of the Pei family, who possesses a natural spiritual root, has betrayed the family!"
"What?!"
Not only were the people present stunned, but even Jiang Deng was stunned for a moment.
The young master of the Pei family, you should be talking about Pei Ranzhi, right?
"That Young Master Pei is young and promising. He's definitely going to become the next head of the Pei family. Why would he be so desperate to betray the Pei family?"
"Oh! What else could it be? Of course it's for the beauty... Well, that's not right."
The male cultivator thought of the square face of the head of the Nangong family, which was always stern. Although it was very majestic, it had nothing to do with beauty.
So, he could only change his words to explain, "Young Master Pei did it for his fiancée, Patriarch Nangong. Even though Patriarch Nangong and Patriarch Pei both wanted to break off the engagement, Young Master Pei refused to agree. Later, when he heard that his father, Patriarch Pei, was going to obey Patriarch Xiahou's orders and declare war on the Nangong family, he defected from the Pei family. I presume he's already near Nangong City, right?"
“…”
Everyone on the second floor was speechless.
No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out what Pei Ranzhi was thinking. Why didn't he just be the young master of the Pei family and choose to be a son-in-law?
Jiang Deng curled his lips and smiled.
Sure enough, she knew that Pei Ranzhi, the love-brained man, would not let her down.
It seems that Nangong Xiangrui's situation is not that bad...
Jiang Deng calmed down and prepared to finish the meal before heading to Nangong's house.
After talking about Pei Ranzhi's gossip, the people around him were talking about who they would help or where they would escape to if the Nangong family was attacked.
Jiang Deng was not interested in these words, so he didn't listen any further.
As luck would have it, after waiting for a while, all the dishes ordered by Jiang Deng and Shi Tongling were served, filling the entire table.
Each dish is not only filled with rich spiritual energy, but the best thing is that it is colorful and fragrant. Just one look at it will make your appetite grow!
Just as Jiang Deng was about to pick up his chopsticks, he heard the door of the private room on the third floor open, followed by a series of footsteps on the stairs, and more than ten people came downstairs.
Tsk, why are there so many people?
Jiang Deng looked up and saw that there were both men and women among these people. What they had in common was that they were all very powerful. Many of them were strong men in the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Return to Void Realm. She just glanced at these people, and then she met a pair of familiar eyes.
"Hey, boss, I finally caught you!"
A bold female voice sounded.
Immediately afterwards, Chi Lian in the crowd turned over and jumped down the stairs, sitting steadily on the empty seat in front of Jiang Deng's desk.
Jiang Deng: “…”
So the person who booked all the private rooms is Chi Lian?
"Lord Qi Zun?"
When the people above the stairs saw Chi Lian's actions, they all showed a puzzled expression.
Chi Lian waved his hand nonchalantly, "I ran into an old acquaintance and chatted with her. You guys can just leave now. Don't forget what you promised me in half a month."
"Master Qizun's orders, we naturally dare not forget them."
Everyone spoke respectfully and then said goodbye to Chi Lian and left.
Seeing this, the guests on the second floor didn't dare to breathe.
Who is this strong female cultivator?
Why do these powerful people in the Spirit Transformation Realm and Return to Void Realm respect her so much?
Although they didn't know Chi Lian, they were instinctively afraid of him, fearing that he would cause trouble for them again if he got unhappy. Those who hadn't finished their meal didn't dare to eat anymore, and they all got up to pay the bill and leave.
So, only the three people at Jiang Deng's table were left on the second floor.
Without outsiders around, Jiang Deng could finally speak freely, "Chi Lian, what's going on with those people?"
"Oh, boss, you're asking this."
Chi Lian didn't hide anything and said directly: "Oh, I negotiated a business with them. They help me with my work, and I help them refine weapons for free. We both get what we need."
Jiang Deng asked curiously, "You are so strong now, what else do you need?"
Ever since Chi Lian killed the ancestor of the Pei family with one punch, she has become famous in the Wanjian Spirit Realm. Not only because of her own great strength, but also because the truth about the Chi Lian Sword incident many years ago was revealed, and the title of Weapon Master that belonged to her finally returned to her, the real owner.
Every day, many people scramble to give spirit stones to Chi Lian. His life is already so perfect, I wonder if Chi Lian has any other needs?
