It was already late autumn when Kong Ju returned to Cangwu Sect. He secluded himself in the sect for a month and went to Frost Moon Altar again.
When he returned to Cangwu Sect again, the outside world was already covered in silver.
The market buildings outside the sect's formation were also covered in white snow.
It was the time of noon, and the rising sun was dazzling on the white snow.
Kong Ju brought Ning Shuang and stopped outside the Tongyou formation. Just as he was about to take out the Cangwu sect disciple badge to enter the sect.
Zong Changsong's figure came from a distance.
"Junior Brother Kong is back!" Zongchang Song landed in front of Kong Ju and greeted him with a smile.
As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously glanced at Ningshuang who was following behind Kong Ju.
Ningshuang has been accompanying Yi Zi Twelve in the inheritance space for countless years and has not come out for a long time. She is curious about everything and keeps looking around with her little head.
His eyes were particularly focused on the bustling atmosphere outside the Cangwu Sect.
Therefore, Ningshuang ignored Zong Changsong's arrival.
But Kong Ju could not ignore Zong Changsong, and thought that the latter stopped him because of Ningshuang, so he immediately explained: "Brother Zong, this is Fellow Daoist Ningshuang, my good friend."
Ningshuang looks to be seven or eight years old, but her appearance is nothing like that of a human cultivator. Anyone with a discerning eye would notice that something is wrong.
Zong Changsong could see the clues, so he took a few more glances.
However, the reason he stopped Kong Ju was not because of Ning Shuang, so when he heard Kong Ju's response, he immediately moved his eyes away from Ning Shuang and replied, "Junior Brother Kong, you can bring anyone back to the sect. I am not stopping you for this."
As he spoke, Zong Changsong told Kong Ju about the visit of two monks a few days ago.
"They said they were Junior Brother Kong's friends, but Junior Brother Kong wasn't here, so I couldn't let them in. I could only arrange for them to stay in the market outside the sect."
"What are their names?" Kong Ju raised his eyebrows slightly.
When he traveled, he never revealed his real name.
Kong Jue never thought that there would be a monk who could call out his name accurately and claim to be his friend.
"One's surname is Hu, and the other's surname is Si."
"Hu Chenxiang and his son passed the imperial examination?" Kong Ju smiled subconsciously.
"It seems that they are indeed Junior Brother Kong's friends." After hearing Kong Ju accurately call out the two people's full names, Zong Changsong finally felt relieved. He told Kong Ju where they were staying and left.
Before leaving, he looked at Ningshuang a few more times.
Now Kong Ju's status and position are different, and his cultivation is even higher than Zong Changsong. There are some things he cannot control, and he doesn't want to interfere with them because of his personality.
"Interesting. Weren't these two guys taken away by powerful people from the outside world? How dare they come back?" After Zong Changsong left, Kong Ju turned around and looked in the direction Zong Changsong pointed at him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The reputation of cultivators from other worlds is not good now, not only in Tianqi, but also in Wudong where cultivators do not have a good impression of them.
If the identity is exposed, there may be a bloody battle.
These two people took the risk to come find me, so they must have a purpose.
"Dapeng?" Kong Ju murmured Dapeng's name softly. That was the only reason he could think of.
Fortunately, the two monsters did not behave too brutally in Chaodi Ancient City, and based on their previous interactions, Kong Ju had no prejudice against them.
After a moment's pause and thought, Kong Ju decided to go and take a look. He immediately turned around and flew slowly towards the market outside the sect.
"Where are you going? Aren't you going back?" Ningshuang asked while her body quickly followed Kong Ju.
After being threatened by Kong Ju, she dared not do anything rash now. She went wherever Kong Ju went, acting like a little coward.
"Going to meet two friends." Kong Ju responded calmly.
Outside the Cangwu Sect, there are buildings all around, and there are four market towns alone.
Among them, the most famous is the 'Qingcangfang City' named by Huangfu Ying himself.
After an incense stick of time, Kong Ju and Ning Shuang sat near the window on the second floor of a restaurant called Huanghe in Qingcangfang City.
In front of them, Hu Chenxiang and Si Dengdi sat opposite each other.
During the trip to Chaodi Ancient City, the two demons also got a good opportunity. Their cultivation reached the peak of Shuanglingdian and they may break through to the soul transformation at any time.
However, it is still far behind Kongqi.
Kong Ju was in the late stage of soul transformation, and had realized the supernatural powers.
Among the people who entered the Chaodi Ancient City at that time, they were all the top fighters.
Now sitting opposite them, even though Kong Ju had restrained his aura and not a single bit of spiritual power leaked out, his cold pupils occasionally glanced at the two monsters, and there was still a sense of oppression.
Si Dengdi and Kong Ju looked at each other. The sharp perception of the monster made his muscles tense uncontrollably. He had to look away and whispered to Hu Chenxiang in surprise, "How come this kid's cultivation level has improved so quickly!"
The first time the two monsters met Kong Ju was on the Wanlan Lake.
At that time, Kong Ju was only at the Youjing realm, but he defeated Liu Che, one of the three kings of Yuting Sect, and made him flee in panic.
The second time they met was in Chaodi Ancient City, and Kong Ju had already reached the Shuangling realm.
The fighting power he displayed was even more terrifying. He fought with the Holy Son of Gujiang, who was at the Soul Transformation Realm, for half a day in the Chaodi Ancient City without losing the upper hand.
This was their third meeting.
It had been less than half a year since they left Chaodi Ancient City, but the aura emanating from Kong Ju alone was enough to make the two demons restless.
“I’m afraid he has reached the Soul Transformation realm.” Kong Jushuang is an immortal with an aura like an ancient glacier, impossible to see through. Hu Chenxiang can only judge his realm based on his experience.
“It’s a pity to leave such a person in Xianyun Realm.” Si Dengdi shook his head and sighed.
The two demons were communicating in secret, and Kong Ju could not hear what they were saying.
The two looked at each other for a while, and it was Kong Ju who smiled first, breaking the silence: "You two are very courageous. Do you know that the Xianyun Realm hates you, the cultivators from other worlds, to the core?"
"If my identity is exposed, I might even be killed."
While Kong Ju was speaking, he had already used his power to block off all directions, so he was not worried about their conversation leaking out.
Hu Chenxiang smiled sweetly, not minding the teasing in Kong Ju's words, and talked to him like an acquaintance: "We naturally know what Brother Kong said. Didn't we use a secret method to lock up the evil spirit? If you don't tell us, others will naturally not be able to see our identity."
Ningshuang sat next to Kong Ju. She was petite and her legs were not even as tall as the seat.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
There was a plate of exquisite snacks in front of him, and he was eating with gusto. However, after hearing Hu Chenxiang's words, he raised his childish little face and showed a disdainful expression.
"Isn't it just the breathing magic of the demon race? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that you are a little fox."
When Hu Chenxiang and Si Dengdi first met Kong Ju, their attention was on the latter.
He didn't pay much attention to the girl he was with.
It was not until Ningshuang accurately explained the magic tricks they used to hide their identities and Hu Chenxiang's true identity that Hu Chenxiang and Si Dengdi showed surprise and looked at Ningshuang.
With their cultivation level, how could they possibly tell Ning Shuang's cultivation level? That aura was just like Kong Ju's, unfathomable.
"Who is this?" Si Dengdi looked at Ningshuang with his eyes as big as copper bells and forced a stiff smile on his face.
"Hmph!" Ningshuang snorted and did not respond to Si Dengdi. She continued to pick up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth. She ate so cutely that there were residues at the corners of her mouth.
Kong Ju didn't want to say more about Ning Shuang's matter. After all, the latter's identity as a plant spirit was very sensitive. He just smiled and continued to bring the topic back to the main topic: "You two are not looking for me to reminisce about the past, right?"
Hu Chenxiang heard that Kong Ju had no intention of explaining the identity of the girl, so he had to look away and look at Kong Ju, chuckling, "Brother Kong is the only one Si Dengdi and I know well in Xianyun Realm, so it's not an exaggeration to say that we are reminiscing about the past."
Kong Ju obviously didn't believe their nonsense. Apart from Dapeng, he really couldn't think of any reason why the two monsters came to find him. He just buried his head in drinking a cup of tea, smiling and saying nothing.
Si Dengdi couldn't stand it any longer, so he asked, "Why didn't Chuitian go with Brother Kong?"
"It's grown up now, and it doesn't listen to me in everything. Sometimes it goes out to play, and I can't control it." Kong Ju's seemingly unintentional words suddenly made the two monsters' eyes light up.
It is a consensus among the demon clan that the Sky-hanging Bird has an unruly and unruly temperament.
As he grew older, Dapeng began to have his own ideas. How could he be as docile as other spirit beasts?
This undoubtedly gave the two monsters hope of bringing it back to their monster clan.
Kong Ju saw the expressions of the two monsters. Beneath their seemingly careless expressions, their eyes hid deep meanings.
The two demons wanted to bring Dapeng back to the demon clan, and he also wanted to contact the outside demon clan through Dapeng.
After all, the demon race is not the same kind as the human race, and Kong Ju does not believe that cultivators from the outside world can have such a close relationship with the demon race.
Similarly, it is impossible for the demon race to trust the cultivators from other worlds 100%.
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."
"Both parties are just using each other."
Kong Ju wanted to take advantage of the slight discord between the demons and monks from other worlds to maneuver and obtain information or protection that was beneficial to him.
That's why he came here specially.
Therefore, under Kong Ju's intentional or unintentional guidance, the two monsters felt that the idea of bringing Dapeng back in the future was more feasible.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious as both sides chatted and laughed.
As they were chatting, Kong Ju suddenly changed the subject and talked about the issues of cultivators from other worlds.
Ask about the sect behind Fan Zhongru who fought with the prince.
Ask the Lihuo Holy Sect behind Duan Yufei.
Ask about the identity of the three pairs of eyes that appeared in the sky above the imperial city that day.
Hu Chenxiang was a thoughtful person and immediately understood the purpose of Kong Ju's coming to find them this time.
When she looked at Kong Ju with her charming eyes, there was a smile in her eyes, which seemed meaningful.
However, she still told the truth: "The sect behind Fan Zhongru is the Tian Ning Sect. The Tian Ning Sect is very good at controlling ice and snow, and is also unique in swordsmanship. In their world, it is considered one of the most powerful sects."
"There are two people in this generation of Tian Ning Sect who need to be paid attention to. One of them is Fan Zhongru, whose ice and snow Taoist skills are comparable to Brother Kong's."
"The other person's name is Xue Shaoyang. He has amazing sword skills and has already walked his own path."
"One of them represents the ice and snow heritage of Tian Ning Sect, and the other represents the sword heritage of Tian Ning Sect. They can be said to be the twin pillars of the world."
"One of the three Zaoxuan who appeared outside the void of the Imperial City is the ancestor of their Tian Ning Sect." (End of this chapter)
