At Xiang Sheng's command, Lou Huo immediately controlled the Fang Cun Ji to make initial contact with the Xizhou Fang Cun Ji who was listening outside.
Rumble——
The void vibrated, and the two spaces gradually merged. After the movement subsided, a tall figure emerged from the swirling gray fog. As the fog faded, the face gradually became clear.
The man who arrived was a young monk, dressed in black. His face was as thin as a knife, and his eyebrows were sharp as a sword. His eyes were piercing and sharp, and he had a three-foot-long sword on his back, which further confirmed his identity.
Xiang Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke first: "Sword cultivator?"
"Exactly."
The young man replied calmly, "My name is Li Changting, and I'm here to build a passage between the two continents."
At this point, he looked up at Xiang Sheng, his tone slightly cold, "I came here alone, which is enough to show my sincerity. But you are unwilling to even reveal your true face. It is too disheartening."
"Friend Li, please don't misunderstand."
Xiang Sheng lifted the mist that obscured the space between them and replied softly, "I have come to see you so suddenly, and I am still entangled with resentment. If our eyes meet, I am afraid that resentment will be transmitted and cause you a lot of trouble."
"I see."
Li Changting's expression relaxed slightly upon hearing this. He smiled proudly and said, "It seems that you don't understand sword cultivators like me well enough. Sword cultivators have pure sword intent and can easily eliminate resentment. Simply let go of your cover."
After Li Changting finished speaking, he saw Lou Huo, who was standing respectfully on the side, suddenly look up at him with a hint of pity in his eyes.
He suddenly felt something was wrong and wanted to change his words immediately, but he saw a wisp of black air floating rapidly around the clouds and mist, and it was close to him in the blink of an eye.
His eyes flashed, and the green sword behind him was instantly unsheathed, slashing out a green sword energy.
However, the sword energy that had always been invincible actually penetrated directly this time and failed to cause any damage to the resentment.
Li Changting was shocked and was caught off guard by the resentment that hit him in the face. In an instant, countless shrill screams rang in his ears, and in front of him were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with hallucinations everywhere.
Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment, and the resentment was withdrawn, and the illusion immediately faded away like the tide.
Li Changting's eyes became clear again, and he watched the wisp of black air fly back into the clouds with a lingering fear.
What exactly is this resentment? Even the sword intent cannot extinguish it.
"Do you understand now?"
A soft sigh echoed from behind the mist. "You can't even bear a wisp of resentment. If I release the mist, you will only be infected with more, delaying your cultivation."
Li Changting took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully, "Senior, you are absolutely right. I was ignorant and misunderstood your good intentions. If I was inappropriate in my previous words, I hope you will forgive me."
Xiang Sheng heard the change in his tone and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
Resentment is naturally restrained by pure energy, so how could it be uncontrollable and allow others to be contaminated? This time she did it on purpose, just to warn this visitor from Xizhou.
"It's just a small matter, I won't blame you."
Xiang Sheng pretended to be indifferent and said, "Let's talk business."
Li Changting breathed a sigh of relief, but for a moment he didn't know how to start. He had been outmaneuvered the moment he entered, and all his pre-planned countermeasures were disrupted. He could only say whatever came to mind.
After a short silence, he organized his words and continued, "Senior, you may not know that the Western Continent cultivation community has always been paying attention to the Eastern Continent forbidden area. It is only because of the obstruction of the Pantheon that they have been unable to establish contact with the Eastern Continent.
About three years ago, a rumor spread in Xizhou that the monks stationed by the Pantheon in Dongzhou suddenly fled back from the Underworld in a hurry and lost a top-grade Fangcunji, causing a shock to the Pantheon.
Our sect has verified the rumors many times but was unable to confirm their authenticity. Finally, the headmaster overruled all objections and made a decisive move to gather the strength of the sect and use Fang Cun Ji to explore the strange fog sea again.
At this point, Li Changting sighed, "I have explored the strange fog sea three times, and the first two times I returned empty-handed. This time, I was able to meet you, senior, and it can be considered an explanation to the sect leader."
Xiang Sheng listened to this, and a hint of thought flashed across his eyes.
I don't know whether Li Changting is reckless or has something to rely on, but he made his position clear right from the start.
Their sect cannot even find out the authenticity of the Pantheon's news. The two must be in a hostile relationship, and most of the time they are at a disadvantage when the two sides clash.
Moreover, this person's sect can afford the expenses of three explorations into the Strange Fog Sea. It must be a wealthy and powerful sect, and is definitely not an ordinary sect.
Li Changting was entrusted with the important task of controlling Fang Cun Ji, so his status in the sect was naturally not low, and he should know a lot.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng suddenly chuckled teasingly: "Since it's just a rumor, you rushed in here rashly. Aren't you afraid that this Fang Cun Ji is a bait deliberately thrown by the Pantheon in the Weird Mist Sea?"
Li Changting's face paled upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "Senior, you are extremely powerful. If you were truly from the Pantheon, you would have killed me in one blow. Why would you be chatting with me until now?"
Although he said this on the surface, his spiritual consciousness had actually quietly covered the talisman between his eyebrows. As long as the other party made the slightest movement, he would immediately trigger the talisman and escape from this place.
The life-saving talismans given by these sects are the real reason why he dares to stand here today.
After testing him briefly and seeing his reaction, Xiang Sheng knew that he must have some means of protecting his life. He immediately smiled and said, "You look so nervous. I was just joking."
After hearing this, Li Changting breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and then he realized that his back had been soaked with cold sweat without him knowing when.
He gave a bitter laugh and couldn't help but said, "Senior, you can't make such a joke."
"Isn't it my fault?"
Xiang Sheng chuckled, "Well, as compensation, I will tell you a piece of good news.
