Chapter 525 Guests
All the masters in the sect are Immortal Emperors. With such strength and background, they are also top-notch in this upper realm.
Even Lu Jian's own strength is hard to figure out. So far, the information they have obtained about Lu Jian is from three thousand years ago.
After a moment of silence, the man sitting at the head said, "Everyone knows the situation now. My thoughts are the same as Brother Lu Jian's. We will never allow them to enter our territory too much. Once they think we are easy to bully, they will become more and more rampant in the future."
"But this time we need someone to teach Hidden Demon a lesson. Lu Jian, Xie Xun, you two will lead the charge with me, and the rest of you should be ready to take over at any time. If we fail to give Hidden Demon a heavy blow, it will only make him look down on us even more."
"Do you understand?"
After hearing this, those who were not named were secretly thankful, but Xie Xun felt a bit of a headache.
Originally, he wanted to stay in the rear and ensure that he could survive safely to the end.
He didn't expect to be sent as a vanguard this time. In this way, it will be difficult for him to preserve his strength!
After the meeting, Xie Xun walked out of the conference hall with a sad face.
At this time, Lu Jian walked over slowly, revealing his iconic dead face, and looked at Xie Xun with a half-smile.
"Senior Xie is so distressed, are you really that afraid of the hidden demon?" Lu Jian asked directly, with hidden meaning in his words.
"Lu Jian, what do you want to say? Stop being sarcastic." Xie Xun was a little unhappy.
Even if Lu Jian has a powerful background, there is no need for him to be humble.
No matter what, he is also a strong man in the realm of Immortal Emperor, and even a veteran strong man! What qualifications does this guy who has just stepped into the realm of Immortal Emperor for 4,000 years have to challenge him? However, Lu Jian just smiled lightly, not taking Xie Xun's words seriously at all.
"Thank you, Senior, you are slandering me. After all, the Hidden Demon is so powerful, it is understandable if I am afraid of him. Even I am very scared." Lu Jian said with a smile.
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Xie Xun asked unhappily.
"Isn't it?" Lu Jian still said with a smile.
"You!!" Xie Xun pointed at Lu Jian angrily.
However, Lu Jian chuckled a few times and said, "It was just a joke. Senior Xie, how can you be so ignorant of humor?"
Just as Xie Xun was about to attack, Lu Jian took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Xie Xun.
"In times of crisis, the human race should work together to share the hardship. This jade slip contains the king-level sword technique left by my master. If Senior Xie encounters danger, he can crush the jade slip to escape danger. At the same time, we can also be the first to know the senior's situation." Lu Jian said.
Hearing this, Xie Xun frowned slightly.
He didn't believe that this smiling but treacherous guy could be so kind.
But after taking the jade slip, the sword intent and energy contained in it were indeed as Lu Jian said.
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Xun snorted and said, "Don't think I will thank you."
Lu Jian smiled and said, "I just hope that Senior Xie can stand on the side of the human race. Only by working together can we turn the situation around. Don't you agree?"
Xie Xun didn't know what to say.
Anyway, he was also a forward, so he might as well give Lu Jian some face. In the end, he accepted the jade slip and nodded perfunctorily.
"Alright, alright, stop playing tricks on me. Besides, I'm not stupid. I know the interests involved. I don't need you to tell me what to do." Xie Xun said.
"That's the best. I won't bother you any more then." Lu Jian smiled, bowed, and left.
Looking at Lu Jian's figure, Xie Xun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Dealing with other people was fine, but dealing with Lu Jian made him feel unpredictable.
Not only him, he knew that most people in the conference hall could not grasp Lu Jian. In addition, there were so many Immortal Emperors behind Lu Jian, and even his master was in the late Immortal stage. This undoubtedly made everyone dare not investigate Lu Jian in depth.
However, looking at the jade slip in his hand, Xie Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Forget it, I'd better stay away from this guy from now on." Xie Xun thought to himself.
Since there is no grudge and you don't want to deal with each other, just stay away.
at the same time.
After leaving the temple, Lu Jian still looked into the distance with a smile on his face.
He put his hands behind his back and took a deep breath of the cool night breeze.
"Hmm... the smell of the wind seems a little different." Lu Jian looked at the southwest with a smile.
"The stench of a dead hidden demon, and... a sword force I've never seen before?"
“No, this sword intent, could it be from Junior Brother?”
…
Ancient city.
Jiang Ming was still sitting in the inn, resting out of boredom.
After arriving in the upper realm, he decided not to actively seek out so-called trouble. In his eyes, the people in the upper realm were also able to resist the hidden demons, but they were just not determined enough.
After all, not everyone is prepared to die, and Jiang Ming himself cannot deny this.
What is the purpose of cultivation? It is nothing more than longevity and the pursuit of the ultimate Tao.
What is the ultimate in Taoism? People always say they want to be the strongest, but where is the peak of true strength?
Tao is nothing but one's own Tao.
But human greed is endless.
After reaching a goal, people tend to pursue higher goals, extending upwards without end.
After fighting with the Heavenly Dao, Jiang Ming discovered that people seemed to be somewhat at odds with their own Dao. It can be said that Dao is the truth, but Dao is also the way of perjury.
The matter is so complicated that even Jiang Ming himself finds it difficult to comprehend the so-called truth.
Jiang Ming simply stopped thinking about it. He had already achieved the path he had comprehended, so it was enough for him to be free and happy. It was also another way of living.
Boom.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, which also attracted Jiang Ming's attention.
"There's a new customer." Jiang Ming smiled slightly.
The only fun here is to pass the time by listening to the wanderers telling their interesting stories during their journey.
As for the ingredients and wine?
There was no need to worry about this. After all, when he came to the upper world, he brought enough wine to last for hundreds of years. As for the food, there were often food in the barren land of the upper world, so he could just go and pick it up at any time.
At this moment, the 'guest' had walked into the inn.
Leading the group was a man in a grey cloak, and behind him were a group of people also wearing cloaks.
After counting, there were six people in total, both men and women, and judging from their aura, they were all quite strong.
However, if Jiang Ming still cannot guess the other party's identity at such a close distance, his life would be in vain.
"What would you like to eat here?" Jiang Ming said lazily.
"What good wine and food do you have here? Feel free to bring them up. If I'm in a good mood, I can reward you with more."
A man who just came in from the back sat down carelessly and then said.
