Chapter 53: Bronze accidentally enters the King's game
"Changsheng, are you okay?"
Ying Hongye's voice sounded outside the door.
Ying Hongye didn't know that Ji Changsheng had just returned to the Moon Palace, and only one second had passed.
Ying Hongye sensed that Ji Changsheng's cultivation aura was rapidly growing stronger.
Ji Changsheng took a deep breath and silently practiced the "Breath-Concealing Technique". After a moment, he opened the door.
"Hongye, what's wrong?"
Ying Hongye looked at Ji Changsheng with concern, and was relieved to see that nothing happened to Ji Changsheng.
"I sensed that the aura in your room was rapidly getting stronger. I thought an assassin from the Assassin's League was coming to kill me."
"It's okay, the Assassin's League won't react that quickly." Ji Changsheng said.
It would take several days to go through the process for such a powerful force.
And I'm afraid that after the assassins of the Assassin's League receive the news, their first reaction will be to conduct self-inspection and rectification.
Who would think that someone would take the initiative to touch the Assassin's League? Ying Hongye said: "I didn't think so at first, but just now a bloody aura suddenly erupted in your room, which was very similar to those bloody thorns..."
Ying Hongye didn't finish her words, but changed her tone in time when Ji Changsheng looked at her: "It seems that I was wrong."
Ying Hongye thought to herself that I was really worried and confused.
Changsheng dared to assassinate Bai Guanlin on the mountain.
Those assassins in the Assassin's League would feel ashamed compared to Changsheng.
The aura just now was clearly that of immortality.
As for why Ji Changsheng, a disciple of the righteous path, could burst out such a strong bloody aura, Ying Hongye didn't want to know at all.
Smart people should know how to play dumb.
She doesn't care what Ji Changsheng has done, she only cares about what Ji Changsheng wants to do.
Ji Changsheng chuckled and said, "It's okay. I was just practicing the illusion technique of our Yaoguang lineage. I was just about to tell you, Hongye, that the preparations for the 'Taiping Blessed Land' have been completed. We just need to catch the 'Taiping Blessed Land' and pursue it relentlessly, and we will definitely expose Sheng Taiping's true colors."
Ying Hongye's eyes lit up: "Changsheng, are you sure?"
"Confirmed, my illusion technique has improved again. Even the Nascent Soul Realm cannot distinguish the real from the fake."
In fact, Ji Changsheng was being modest.
Not to mention the Nascent Soul stage.
Even if Fairy Linglong came in person, she would not be able to tell the real from the fake.
Because what Ji Changsheng brought were real zombies.
A veritable vengeful spirit.
Genuine white bones.
What we are playing is reality.
"I'm going to go out for a while and make some preparations at Taiping Fudi. Hongye, you go do your thing."
Sheng Taiping wanted to continue to sell "Taiping Fudi" at a high price in the second round of sales.
Moreover, the slogan put forward is that through the practice of the masters of Xuandu Temple, Taiping Blessed Land has become a real paradise.
So, Ji Changsheng is ready to help Sheng Taiping.
Sheng Taiping is still too limited.
The blessed land can only help individual cultivators to practice and help ordinary people to prolong their lifespan.
Those demon cultivators and ghost cultivators who require special training environments must also be treated equally.
So, he has to help with this!
Half an hour later.
As soon as Ji Changsheng returned to the inn, he saw Li Daoyan holding three invitations.
"Changsheng, Sheng Taiping has sent us an invitation to a gathering at Tianxiang Tower later."
Ji Changsheng was not surprised.
"First courtesy, then force. This is the first step. Buy us off first."
Li Daoyan snorted coldly: "He underestimates us too much. Who cares about his little money?"
"I miss it." Ji Changsheng said.
Li Daoyan: “…”
Ji Changsheng said calmly: "Money is innocent. Since Sheng Taiping wants to bribe us, then we will just accept it. Don't refuse something that is given for free."
Li Daoyan: "... Changsheng, if we take the money but don't do the job, it would be a bit unethical."
Ji Changsheng laughed: "What kind of moral code is there to talk about with a scum like Sheng Taiping?"
Li Daoyan couldn't refute it.
"Besides, as long as we kill Sheng Taiping, who would know that we don't follow the code of conduct?"
"Changsheng, what you said makes a lot of sense."
"Of course, I always speak in a reasonable way. Learn from me in the future. Let's go to Tianxiang Tower together."
Half an hour later, Tianxiang Tower.
Ji Changsheng witnessed Sheng Taiping's ability to mobilize people.
"Three of you, let me introduce you."
"This is Bai Xiuran, the outer sect elder of Xuandu Temple."
"This is the outer sect elder of Danqing Pavilion - Cao Mengde!"
Ji Changsheng looked at the short, fat, and plain-looking middle-aged man in front of him and fell silent.
Fuck, Prime Minister, is your name so common?
Ying Hongye and Li Daoyan also felt a jolt in their hearts.
It was within their expectations that Sheng Taiping called Bai Xiuran to come and provide support.
But it was really beyond their expectations that Sheng Taiping could actually reach Danqing Pavilion.
The most important thing is that Ji Changsheng just picked a name.
Is there really such a person in Danqing Pavilion?
Among the top sects, Danqing Pavilion has the second largest number of disciples. Even the Pavilion Master of Danqing Pavilion himself probably doesn't know the names of all the disciples.
They really couldn't imagine that Sheng Taiping could actually find Cao Mengde among the thousands of outer disciples of Danqing Pavilion.
Cao Mengde also looked at Ji Changsheng with curiosity.
"This young friend has the same name as me?"
Cao Mengde was surprised and asked, "I have never heard of you in the Pavilion, considering your appearance and talent. When did you join the Danqing Pavilion?"
Sheng Taiping and Bai Xiuran just watched coldly.
There are tens of thousands of ordinary disciples in Danqing Pavilion. Unless they are Daozi or Tianjiao, they naturally would not have heard of it.
But Sheng Taiping does have a special network of connections.
He checked and found that Danqing Pavilion did have an outer sect elder named Cao Mengde.
But it was completely different from the person who was causing trouble for him.
Sheng Taiping used his power to invite Cao Mengde here, naturally for the purpose of verifying Ji Changsheng's identity.
Although his righteous character cannot be faked, the intention of someone disguising himself to cause trouble for him must be serious.
He can only gain the upper hand if he exposes it on the spot.
Facing Cao Mengde's question, Ji Changsheng considered it for a moment, and then said: "You are not qualified to know."
The main reason is that I haven’t figured out how to edit it.
Cao Mengde's eyes turned cold.
But he did not get angry. He just put his sword on the table in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "If you don't want to talk, I won't force you. But can you let me see your righteousness?"
The aura of this Cao Mengde is already close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
It should be the cultivation level at the peak of Golden Core.
But this is not stressful for Ji Changsheng.
Even those at the peak of the Golden Core stage cannot see through his illusions.
So Ji Changsheng satisfied his request.
When Cao Mengde saw the righteous spirit displayed by Ji Changsheng, his expression suddenly changed, his pupils contracted extremely, and he blurted out: "Is it you?"
Ji Changsheng: “…”
Ying Hongye and Li Daoyan looked at each other.
Who is it?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Could it be that Changsheng has a hidden identity in Danqing Pavilion?
"My friend, is your last name Li?"
Ji Changsheng thought to himself, my wife’s surname is Li.
My last name is Ji.
But as a good man in the new era, it is not wrong to take your wife’s surname.
It seems... this guy has recognized the wrong person?
So Ji Changsheng said "hmm" with an ambiguous meaning.
"My friend, excuse me for disturbing you."
Cao Mengde took up his sword and stood up, offering his apology: "When you return to the pavilion someday, I will come to your house to apologize."
Ji Changsheng blinked.
Although he didn't know what happened yet.
But he just raised his chin and continued to say "hmm" in an ambiguous way.
The main theme is mystery.
Sheng Taiping and Bai Xiuran were also confused at this time.
"Elder Cao, what happened?"
Sheng Taiping stopped Cao Mengde who was about to leave.
He is also confused now.
Cao Mengde glared at Sheng Taiping and said in a cold and ruthless voice: "Lord Sheng, we have no grudges against each other, why are you trying to harm me today?"
Sheng Taiping: "...Why did Elder Cao say that?"
Cao Mengde snorted coldly, not wanting to bother with Sheng Taiping, and spoke to Ji Changsheng again: "I have no friendship with this person, but someone asked me to come here today. If you have any grudges against this person, don't worry about my face. We'll say goodbye today, and I hope I can have a drink with you again in the future."
After saying this, Cao Mengde left Tianxiang Tower directly.
Sheng Taiping was really stupid.
It seemed that the identities of Ji Changsheng and others had been exposed.
But another, even more remarkable identity was discovered.
Last name Li?
Are you a member of the Li family?
But Danqing Pavilion is not afraid of the Li family.
What was going on? Bai Xiuran winked at Sheng Taiping, who hesitated for a moment, then apologized and hurriedly chased after him.
"Elder Cao, please stay."
Sheng Taiping stopped Cao Mengde at the door of Tianxiang Tower.
"Elder Cao, please tell me who that young friend Li is?"
Sheng Taiping calmly placed a storage bag into Cao Mengde's sleeve.
Cao Mengde's expression eased a little, but he was still gloomy.
"Lord Sheng, you have caused me so much trouble. If it weren't for the Bai family's face, I would never let you go today."
Cao Mengde's heart sank.
"Could it be the young master of the Li family?"
Cao Mengde sneered, "What does the young master of the Li family mean to Danqing Pavilion? Lord Sheng, I said his last name is Li, and he has such a good appearance and talent, don't you think of someone from our Danqing Pavilion?"
Sheng Taiping pondered for a moment and suddenly his face turned pale.
"At fifteen, he learned swordsmanship and fought against many princes. At thirty, he became a writer and served as a minister. Is his Li the same as the Green Lotus Sword Immortal's Li?"
Cao Mengde nodded.
Sheng Taiping smiled bitterly: "It is rumored that the Green Lotus Sword Immortal does have an illegitimate child, but he has never appeared. I thought it was just a rumor."
Cao Mengde said in a deep voice: "Before today, I also thought it was just a rumor. But this man's righteous spirit has the special aura of the Qinglian lineage, and his appearance is also three points similar to the Qinglian Sword Immortal. Lord Sheng, if I were you, I would definitely not be his enemy."
"I see."
Sheng Taiping took a deep breath, bowed to Cao Mengde and said, "Elder Cao, I will definitely repay you for your guidance today."
Cao Mengde nodded, without further ado, and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Sheng Taiping was left behind, his face changing from gloomy to bright.
If he is the illegitimate son of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, then the strategy for today's incident may have to be changed.
Qinglian Sword Immortal is one of the five greatest sword immortals in the world and the face of Danqing Pavilion.
No one wants to offend easily.
…
Inside Tianxiang Tower.
Ji Changsheng and the other three have already taken their seats.
Ying Hongye and Li Daoyan were standing on the left and right of Ji Changsheng, and they both asked Ji Changsheng questions through the sound transmission notes:
"Changsheng, are you from our Li family?"
"Changsheng, do you have a hidden identity in Danqing Pavilion?"
Ji Changsheng did not reply.
It’s not that I’m afraid of being seen by Bai Xiuran.
As for the contents of the note, Bai Xiuran didn’t have the technical ability to hack into the account and steal the information.
Ji Changsheng was digesting the words that Cao Mengde had transmitted to him before he left: "The Saint asked me to say hello to you!"
Just these few words have left Ji Changsheng feeling very upset.
He came to kill Sheng Taiping as a task assigned by Saint Hehuan.
On the first day he arrived in Shengjing, he had a conflict with Sheng Taiping.
All of this obviously did not escape the eyes of Saint Hehuan.
Sheng Taiping's subsequent reaction did not escape the prediction of Saint Hehuan.
The most terrifying thing is that the Holy Maiden Hehuan’s hand can actually control the outer sect elders of Danqing Pavilion.
And the elder who preaches the scriptures in Xuandu Temple.
Ji Changsheng now has only one feeling: a bronze player accidentally entered the king's game!
Senior sister, you are still the best! (End of this chapter)
