Chapter 42 I Have Too Many Backers
"Everyone has gathered here for the secret realm, but this time the Immortal Fox Secret Realm is extremely dangerous and unpredictable, so everyone should not rush for quick success..."
On the stage, Che Xue was speaking.
Offstage, people continued to chat and not many people were listening to her.
The people in the Demon Cult have always done whatever they want. This time it was just a coincidence that there happened to be a demon stronghold called the Nine-story Pagoda in the Northern Territory, so they came here to give them face.
They are here, but unity, cooperation, and mutual assistance still don't work in the Demon Cult.
The people in the Demon Cult value doing whatever they want, strength is the most important, killing and robbing is the norm, and being sweet-mouthed but treacherous is the basic operation.
The words of this demon saint who had just been found were too united, too upright, and too pure, which did not conform to the style of the demon cult at all.
The people in the audience, especially Nan Wang, the more they listened, the more they felt as if they were back in Qingyun Sect, listening to the speech of the senior sister surrounded by many disciples.
He placed one hand on the table, supporting his cheek, and tapped the table rhythmically with the other hand. He seemed to be in a state of trance, pondering life.
A few hours ago, he was still sad about not knowing when he would see his fellow brothers and sisters again after parting ways, but just a short while later, everyone was together again.
Now he has the end on him, the familiar voice of the eldest senior sister in his ears, and the majestic figure of the third senior brother in front of him...
As for himself, confusion was written all over him.
Confusion from within, confusion from the inside out.
Since everyone wants to save Junior Sister, why not just go in the name of Qingyun Sect? Is it necessary to make things like this?
But if you think about it carefully, the elders are not here now. If the eldest sister agrees to let Qingyun Sect participate in the next secret realm, she will have to select a group of new disciples from the major branch sects to conquer the secret realm.
Qingyun Sect just lost so many disciples, and now everyone is in a state of panic. If the eldest sister is forced to lead the team, she will not only have to worry about saving the fifth sister, but also have to take care of the fellow disciples. How much pressure that will put on her. It would be better for her to leave Qingyun Sect and go to the secret realm alone, without worrying about the sect. She only needs to consider saving the fifth sister...
Just when Nan was daydreaming about all sorts of things, someone suddenly came to his side.
"Brother Yan came without even saying hello, who is this?"
Four or five people came to their table and sat down laughing. The two brothers who were leading the group hugged Yan Sui'an's neck gently, and they seemed to have a very close relationship.
Yan Sui'an introduced, "This is our junior brother Nanwang who we sent to Qingyun Sect. He is now doing very well in Qingyun Sect. This time he sneaked out to tell us important information - Qingyun Sect is very interested in the Fairy Fox Secret Realm, saying that there are great opportunities in it! Since you are all going there, you must work hard, maybe you can break through the foundation in one fell swoop!"
Then, Yan Sui'an looked at Nan Wang again and introduced him to him with great interest: "Come here, little brother, let me introduce you. This is your senior brother Hu Huabing, the one next to him is senior brother Li, and then senior brother Wang, senior brother Xiao Wang, senior brother Liu, you should recognize them carefully!"
Nanwang greeted them all, "Hello, fellow brothers."
Hu Huabing ignored him and asked Yan Sui, "Does Qingyun Sect value the Fairy Fox Secret Realm? But I heard that Qingyun Sect does not participate in the Fairy Fox Secret Realm?"
Yan Sui'an waved his hands and said disdainfully: "Do you think that all righteous people are good people who keep their promises? You are wrong! They say they won't go openly, so that other sects will think that there are no treasures in the Fairy Fox Secret Realm, and go there secretly! Go in groups!"
Nanwang: “…”
In a sense, the truth about Yan Sui'an has been revealed.
And he told the truth not just once, but twice.
In the original novel of "Dragon Lord", the Qingyun Sect is a huge cannon fodder, and the main perspective is placed on the male and female protagonists, so Nan Wang only knows that Du Xueling participated in the Fairy Fox Secret Realm, but is not clear about the details of her participation in the secret realm.
Now that I think about it, it is very likely that Du Xueling in the original novel also entered the secret realm through the demon channel.
This is really...
Nan Wang shook his head helplessly.
Hu Huabing said: "That's true. I'm very familiar with the faces of the noble and upright people."
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes rolled around, looking at Nanwang with ill intent:
"I wonder how this junior brother's current cultivation is?"
Nanwang said honestly, "I just broke through the Qi Refining stage not long ago."
Hu Huabing smiled and said, "Hey, with your level of cultivation, you haven't been to the secret realm many times, right?"
"This is my first time to go to a secret realm." Nanwang said half-truthfully, "I heard from my senior brother in Qingyun Sect that there are great opportunities in the Immortal Fox Secret Realm. I couldn't help it, so I sneaked out."
"It's the first time, that's really..." Hu Huabing looked at the people around him and laughed: "How about this, little junior brother, since we are from the same school, you can give me three high-quality spirit stones as a gift. When we enter the secret realm, the three of us will protect you. How about that?"
Yan Sui'an on the side sneered but did not say anything to stop him.
Nan Wang decisively refused, "No, no, there are too many people protecting me, I don't need you brothers anymore."
What he said was sincere, reasonable, completely in line with objective facts, and there was no sarcasm in his words.
However, the listeners don't think so.
Hu Huabing's face changed and he said angrily: "Junior brother, are you looking down on us? Do you think we are unworthy?"
Nanwang was surprised: "How could that be, I..."
Hu Huabing sneered, stood up and said, "If that's the case, you'll have to fend for yourself once we enter the secret realm."
When he left, the others followed him.
All that was left at the scene was Nan Wang's pair of hands reaching forward, trying to retain him.
After a while, Nan Wang withdrew his hand, turned to Yan Sui'an and said, "This, this Senior Brother Hu is too impatient... I haven't finished what I want to say."
Yan Sui'an said calmly, "You were right to refuse. Even if you gave the spirit stones, people would not protect you. But the way you refused was really inappropriate."
Nanwang humbly asked: "Then how can I refuse correctly?"
Yan Sui'an looked at him puzzledly and said, "Can you really come up with three top-grade spirit stones?"
Nanwang: “Really?”
Yan Sui’an: “…”
Nanwang: "What's wrong? It's true what I said about someone protecting me."
Yan Sui'an's face was full of doubt.
Nan Wang scratched his head and glanced at Che Xue, the "Saintess of the Demon Cult" who was about to step down after speaking, and then looked at the legendary stone mountain not far away where "one person in the Qi Refining Stage was found with every breath he took."
"Forget it, Senior Brother, just treat it as a lie. I am actually an ordinary disciple who can't even produce three high-grade spirit stones and has no backing."
Nan Wang said this in a tone that seemed like he had seen through the world.
Yan Sui’an: “???”
He seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, Che Xue had already stepped down from the stage. The person who took her place was the leader of the Demon Cult, Demon Lord, Tong Dongyang.
The Demon Cult meeting in the Ninth Floor reached its climax when the Demon Lord said, "Kill Ye Li and seize the secret of heaven."
The members of the Demon Cult stood up one after another, threw the rabbit carcasses they had prepared in advance into the fire, and shouted around the fire.
The fire burned fiercely, emitting waves of...roasted meat aroma.
Amid the endless cheers of "Kill Ye Qian, seize the secrets of heaven", only Nan Wang lowered his head and said nothing.
He was thinking:
【Kill Ye Qian if you want, kill Ye Qian, what's the point of killing the rabbit?】
[Killing the rabbit is fine, but why burn it? ]
[It’s a bit difficult to make the rabbit, but if it’s done well, it’s really delicious. Adding spicy, spicy, and cumin, the taste…]
Nan Wang silently wiped away the tears from the corners of his mouth, feeling extremely bitter in his heart.
I heard a "slurping" sound, as if someone was sipping saliva.
Nan Wang turned around and met the piercing gaze of "Shishan" from the Blood Robe Cult.
The other person's gaze fell on the fire like everyone else, but there was no hatred, revenge, or killing in his eyes, only deep hunger.
Literally hungry.
Hungry and thirsty.
It looks like some grilled meat and freshly squeezed juice are in great need to satisfy the empty stomach.
Being in such a strange place, and being with people who shouldn't be here, thinking about the same thing, Nan Wang was already speechless. But Yan Sui'an had to remind him in his ear:
"Little Junior Brother, I don't care what you think, but you must not provoke the Xueyi Sect. Look at them, they are so eager to eat Ye Kuo's flesh and drink his blood. It's too scary. Our Hehuan Sect is a small sect and it's difficult to survive. You must not implicate us."
Nanwang: “…”
Is it possible that the Third Brother really wanted to "eat his flesh and drink his blood", but what he wanted to eat was not Ye Ku's flesh, but the rabbit meat that was right in front of him.
After the rabbits were burned to ashes, the Nine-Storied Building Meeting was declared over and everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
Some people will return to the sect during this time, while others will find a place nearby to recuperate and make the best preparations for the opening of the secret realm tomorrow.
Nan Wang had no place to go back to, and he didn't feel the need to rest, so he prepared to set out directly from the Ninth Floor to the secret realm.
There is only one night left before the secret realm opens. With his ability to rush, it would be good enough if he can make it before the secret realm opens.
only……
Nan Wang looked at the luxurious cloud ship of the Sky Demon Sect rising into the sky and the flying beasts of the Blood Robe Sect floating in the sky like dark clouds covering the sun. His already complicated mood suddenly became even more complicated.
They were both undercover agents, but why was it that the sects where his senior brothers and sisters were undercover were so grand and wealthy, while he was undercover in such a poor place that couldn't even afford three high-quality spirit stones?
Are undercover agents also divided into different levels?
Nan Wang watched his fellow brothers and sisters leave, wiped away his non-existent tears, and sighed as he set out on the journey to the secret realm.
When there was no one else around him, a familiar voice rang in his ears:
“Chichichi.”
Is rabbit meat really delicious? How to eat it?
Nan Wang was stunned: "What? You eat rabbit meat too? Isn't this considered cannibalism?"
An Nuo: “Chichichi!”
What cannibalism? I have nothing to do with rabbits. I just look like a rabbit. I am a fairy beast!
Nanwang: “Ah, this…”
An Nuo: “Chichichi.”
So is rabbit really delicious?
Nanwang said helplessly: "It tastes good, but it's hard to catch rabbits."
An Nuo: “Chichichi.”
The Demon Cult hates rabbits so much, there must be a specialized industrial chain that mass-produces rabbits. You can ask around and then go buy some directly when the time comes.
Nanwang: “…”
He finally realized that everyone really wanted to eat rabbit.
"Let's put the rabbit aside for now and talk about it later when we have the chance. I have a question now, Nuonuo."
Nanwang grabbed An Nuo and said sternly:
"Didn't you say that Senior Sister and Third Brother are both people with no regrets in their hearts?"
An Nuo was silent for a moment, then spoke:
“Chichichi.”
They are also people with regrets, but they are much more experienced than you. They are all actors, and their acting skills are so good that you have to believe them even if God comes to you.
“Chichichi.”
Look at yourself again, you are so honest and only know how to cry!
Nanwang: “…”
