Late at night, it’s midnight.
East of the city.
"Zhao Cangqiong, are you sick? Why are you not sleeping at night and bringing me here to wait for Shengtian Sect?"
A voice came from the shadow of a mountain.
The person who spoke was Lu Hongyun, who looked unhappy.
Half an hour ago, he had just fallen into a sound sleep when he was woken up by Zhao Cangqiong and dragged here.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
Zhao Cangqiong sat nearby and looked around.
"Don't scare them away."
"No, how did you know that the Holy Heaven Sect would come here so late at night?"
Lu Hongyun was not happy.
"We are too conspicuous during the day. Even if there are not many people here, we can still be easily discovered. The safest time is the middle of the night."
Zhao Cangqiong said seriously.
"We are not completely sure yet. This is the teleportation array. If we find someone from the Holy Heaven Sect, then it will be certain enough."
"You brought me here not to kill the people of Shengtian Sect, but to confirm that this is the teleportation array?"
Lu Hongyun frowned.
"Of course, how can we kill them with just the two of us? The strength of the Great Venerable Fierce Snake is definitely not weaker than you and me."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded.
"So, we just need to hide in the dark and determine our location... Of course, it would be even better if we can keep an eye on them and find out where they are staying."
“…”
Lu Hongyun was speechless.
"Why don't you just do this on your own? Why do you have to drag me along?"
"Wouldn't it be safer to bring you along? If we are exposed, we will inevitably have a fierce battle."
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.
"Now that I am the city lord, shouldn't I be more cautious in doing things?"
"OK……"
Lu Hongyun was convinced.
"Old Lu, you and I are not young men in our twenties or thirties anymore. We should not act rashly."
Zhao Cangqiong taught.
"Okay, okay, okay... What if they don't come? We'll just stay here all night?"
Lu Hongyun waved his hand.
"It's all a matter of luck. How can it be said that just because you and I come, they will come?"
Zhao Cangqiong smiled.
"With your and my strength, we don't need to sleep anymore. There's no difference between being here and being in bed."
“…”
Lu Hongyun was helpless and could only lean on a big rock, looking around boredly.
"It's been many years since we last met. In a blink of an eye, you and I are now this age. When you were born and walked the path of invincibility, you were the same age as Wudi, full of vigor and vitality..."
Listening to Zhao Cangqiong's words, memories flashed through Lu Hongyun's eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
"Come, have some wine, and we can chat while we drink... Even if Shengtian Cult can't come, we can just chat under the moonlight, like old friends."
Zhao Cangqiong said this as he took out some wine and some side dishes from his storage ring.
"Have you even prepared the food and drinks?"
Lu Hongyun was surprised and sat up straight.
"yes."
Zhao Cangqiong smiled and poured wine for Lu Hongyun.
"I have a feeling that things will get more chaotic... It will be hard to have this leisure time again! Aren't you leaving soon? That's why I wanted to talk to you."
"Kill two birds with one stone? I can keep an eye on the Holy Heaven Sect and drink and chat at the same time?"
Lu Hongyun looked strange.
"You are still you, with all your tricks."
"How can you say that? This is just a side note."
Zhao Cangqiong said this and picked up the cup.
"Come on, let's have a drink first... I remember we drank like this before."
"Yeah, it's been a long time."
Lu Hongyun also felt a little emotional. He clinked his glass with Zhao Cangqiong and drank it all.
The two put down their glasses, took a few bites of snacks, and chatted.
Although it was just a casual chat, his spiritual awareness was still released, covering the surroundings and keeping an eye on the people from the Holy Heaven Sect.
In case someone comes, they can also respond.
"Do you think Wu Qingming is a member of the Holy Heaven Sect?"
After finishing the conversation, Zhao Cangqiong brought the topic back to the present.
"It's hard to say. Maybe it's all Gongsun Zhen's doing."
Lu Hongyun shook his head.
"Didn't they finish talking when you went there?"
"Yeah, I'm worried about that too."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded.
"Fortunately, Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang have been locked up now. Let's see if we can get anything out of them in the next few days."
"These are your concerns, they have nothing to do with me... I'll only be leaving for a day or two."
Lu Hongyun threw a peanut into his mouth.
"Huh? Are you in such a hurry to leave? We're still short of manpower here."
Zhao Cangqiong was surprised.
"What do you think I am? Your subordinate?"
Lu Hongyun was not happy.
"I still have to lead Wudi on the Wudi Road. How can I stay in Sifang City forever? The Holy Heaven Sect has already appeared here, and we even know their purpose. So we just have to be on guard from now on."
"The Holy Heaven Sect is fine for now, but the key is the second floor... The conflict that follows will definitely get bigger and bigger."
Zhao Cangqiong said in a deep voice.
"When the great elder of Qingyun Tower comes back, there will definitely be an even bigger chaos."
"I am no match for the Great Elder of Qingyun Tower, so there is no point in staying."
Lu Hongyun shook his head.
"Whatever the dispute on the second floor is, it has nothing to do with you... Although you are the city lord now, you should not interfere in everything. Sometimes you can stay out of it if you can."
"Alas, as the city lord, you have to take on some responsibilities."
Zhao Cangqiong sighed.
"You are the best. You don't have any responsibilities."
"You just knew that? Who doesn't have some responsibility?"
"Too."
As the two were talking, the moonlight was getting low, but no one from the Shengtian Sect came.
…
Daybreak.
Xiao Chen woke up, took away the spiritual root of heaven and earth that was curled up in his arms, and his eyes fell on the head of the Great Venerable Lie Snake.
"There's no point in keeping this head. Let's find a chance to send it to Zhao Cangqiong."
Xiao Chen thought about it and made a decision.
No matter what, Zhao Cangqiong treated him well and was always worried about the Shengtian Sect.
If he sent the head of Great Venerable Fierce Snake to Zhao Cangqiong, at least he could feel at ease.
But... we can't just send it there like this, that wouldn't make sense.
After staying in the bone ring for a while, Xiao Chen stepped out of it and left the room.
Today, he didn't have any plans. Shanhai Tower would definitely not care about him, so the crisis was not that big.
As for other forces, there is basically no one who dares to target him now.
So, just be careful of Gongsun Zhen.
"It's so lonely to be invincible. In the blink of an eye... no one dares to deal with me."
Xiao Chen felt somewhat pleased with himself.
"This outer world... is just like this."
"Brother Chen."
Hearing the noise, Wang Pingbei also came out.
"What are your plans for today?"
"No plans, just wandering around."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"Brother Chen, I have a suggestion. If we don't have anything to do, we shouldn't go out for a walk."
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Why?"
Xiao Chen was puzzled.
"It was nothing, but I was afraid that something might happen to you while you were wandering around."
Wang Ping North Road.
"roll……"
Xiao Chen was speechless. Am I a troublemaker?
He obviously doesn't like to cause trouble, it's always others who provoke him...
They went downstairs and had breakfast.
"well……"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen sighed. By this time, Murong Yue should have left Sifang City, right?
Not to mention, after spending some time together, he was actually a little reluctant to leave.
"This girl is quite charming... The most important thing is that she can disguise herself. If she can just role-play, wouldn't that be colorful?"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"I just thought of something. We haven't been to the black market yet, right? Didn't you say you would take me there to see it?"
"Ah? Are you really going?"
Wang Pingbei didn’t want to go. What if something else happened?
"That place opens at night, right? Then let's go tonight."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Brother Chen, there are actually a lot of stalls during the day... There might be some good stuff in there, how about we go and have a look?"
Wang Pingbei said hurriedly.
"Sure, I don't have anything to do anyway, so I can go shopping again in the evening after I finish shopping during the day."
Xiao Chen nodded.
“…”
Wang Pingbei wanted to slap himself in the face, hoping that nothing would happen.
After they finished their meal, they left the inn and wandered around.
Soon, they arrived at the place.
"Isn't this similar to the antique street? Real and fake... I didn't expect there would be a place like this here."
Xiao Chen looked around and became interested.
"Brother Chen, what do you want to buy?"
Wang Pingbei asked.
"Just looking around, I haven't made up my mind yet... Can I find any magical tools here?"
Xiao Chen talked as he walked.
"It's too difficult. Most of them are fake, so we should be careful and not be fooled."
Wang Ping North Road.
"And a lot of things are inferior and sold as good ones..."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Mr. Chen..."
A cultivator recognized Xiao Chen and greeted him.
"hehe."
Xiao Chen responded with a smile, saying that it was different now that he was famous, as he would be known by people everywhere.
"What's this?"
Soon, Xiao Chen's eyes fell on a tower on a stall.
"Young Master, this Linglong Tower is a good thing."
The stall owner was a man in his fifties, with a pointed face and monkey-like appearance, and looked like a profiteer.
"It's a first-class magical weapon."
"puff……"
Wang Pingbei almost burst out laughing. How dare you brag? Why don’t you say it’s a magical weapon!
"Exquisite Tower...you said it's a magical tool, so what's its use?"
Xiao Chen picked up the small tower and asked.
"This... I'm not sure. I got it by chance. If I knew what it did, I definitely wouldn't sell it."
The stall owner said this with a serious tone.
"Let me tell you, my Linglong Tower is as famous as the Qingyun Tower in Qingyun Tower..."
“…”
Hearing this, Wang Pingbei wanted to slap him in the face. How could he be as famous as Qingyun Tower? Have you ever seen Qingyun Tower?
"How many spirit stones?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"One thousand spirit stones."
The stall owner was delighted to see Xiao Chen was interested.
“Superior grade spirit stone!”
"Are you crazy?"
Wang Pingbei stared. This broken thing costs a thousand high-grade spirit stones?
"Then I'll make you an offer. If you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, forget it."
Xiao Chen waved his hand to stop Wang Pingbei.
"Tell me about it."
The stall owner looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"One spiritual stone."
Xiao Chen raised a finger.
"If you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, then forget it."
"???"
Wang Pingbei was dumbfounded. What the hell, is there anyone who bargains like this?
