Chapter 1944 Refusal to Recruit
The old man had white hair and beard, but his face was ruddy and his skin was as smooth as a baby's. At first glance, he looked like an old monster.
Anyone who dares to fly openly in the market town is undoubtedly a person from Baiyao Valley. True Immortals from other forces rarely do this.
Seeing him flying in the air, someone shouted loudly, "Greetings, Master Wu Liu."
The person who came was Immortal Wu Liu, the leader of the three great masters of Baiyao Valley, and also the master of Zhenren Huai Heng.
This person has always been obsessed with alchemy and rarely cares about worldly affairs. He prefers others to call him "Da Zong" rather than the immortal.
He sent out his divine sense to sense and found that there was no one in the courtyard, so he sent out his divine sense to ask, "Where are the people here?"
A disciple from Baiyao Valley came from afar and answered loudly, "Reporting to the Supreme, they left three days ago!"
"Three days?" Immortal Wu Liu flew into a rage upon hearing this. "Why did you let them go?"
The disciples of Baiyao Valley did not dare to answer, as they knew the character of the Grand Elder too well.
If you don't explain, even if Tai Shang is extremely angry, he will force himself to restrain himself and wait until he calms down before understanding the situation.
However, if you make an excuse at this moment, the Supreme Lord, who is furious, may very likely regard it as quibbling and punish you without saying a word.
Wu Liu Zhenxian is a serious person, but he rarely gets angry. He just has a rather old-fashioned temperament.
However, this time his most proud disciple, also the sect's most dazzling rising star, has fallen. It would be strange if he could control his anger!
Moreover, Master Huaiheng died when he was in the stage of Condensing Infant. He couldn't find an enemy even if he wanted to, so he must vent his anger on someone else.
Wu Liu Zhenxian waited for a while, but found that no one gave an explanation. He immediately became furious, "What a bunch of rubbish!"
Then, he swung his sleeves, and a stream of air blew the courtyard flat, and all the buildings turned into powder.
Then he disappeared into the distance in a flash, "Go to the Law Enforcement Hall to plead guilty!"
We...are from the Law Enforcement Hall! The disciples of Baiyao Valley looked at each other, but still did not dare to say a word.
No matter what, Tai Shang's attack at least vented a lot of evil anger, which is a good thing.
The people watching from afar were terrified, and after a long while, someone finally spoke softly, "That's the Bai family's yard..."
"Don't even mention the courtyard," someone whispered back, "Even if the Bai family knew about it, they should be thankful they weren't there!"
Three days later, the news reached Hongyeling.
Qu Jianlei and his companions had just returned a few days ago and were talking about organizing their harvest, especially studying the stone tablet carefully.
After all, it is an out-of-body level technique with mysterious and subtle energy, which is not suitable to be studied in the market.
After hearing this news, he was really annoyed, "This old man is really going too far!"
The person who came to deliver the message was sent by Cuiping Mountain. As a quasi-ally, he should have this awareness.
The people of the Li family especially found out that Immortal Wu Liu had been grieving the death of his beloved disciple, and only came out of seclusion after his condition had recovered a little.
In other words, Hongyeling had been waiting for a long time, not because the other party didn't come, but because they didn't have time.
Moreover, most people in the Li family believed that the Immortal Wu Liu destroyed the courtyard just to vent his anger, and not targeting Hongye Ridge.
If we really want to say that it is targeted, it would be better to say that it is targeted at the owners of the courtyard, the Bai family.
But Qu Jianlei did not agree with this explanation, "The Bai family's yard is still under the lease of Hongye Ridge!"
"What is our attitude? Are we waiting for something... He doesn't even bother to ask?"
Yan Xuemin, who was delivering the message, shuddered a little when he heard this. "It is said that he was really too angry and might not have done it on purpose."
"Then he can't vent his anger on Hongye Ridge," Flower Scorpion faithfully relayed the boss's point of view.
She deadpanned, "We wanted to resolve some of the previous issues, but now it seems...haha, we thought too much."
"Fellow Daoist Hua, please calm down," Yan Xuemin said, trying to smooth things over. "When people are angry, it's not easy to control their emotions."
He didn't want to intensify the conflict between Hongye Ridge and Baiyao Valley at all. The aftermath of the confrontation between the two might crush the Yan family to pieces.
However, Flower Scorpion said, "If he wants to act wild, he must find someone weaker. Does he think... Red Leaf Ridge is easy to bully?"
"At worst, we can just ignore him," was all Yan Xuemin could suggest.
"Let's clear this account and write off all the previous grudges. If they cause trouble again, won't you have a reason to take action?"
"This is still..." Flower Scorpion was about to refute, but was stunned for a moment.
Then she snorted coldly, "Forget it, we don't want to embarrass you, please let the Yan family spread the word..."
Flower Scorpion's face was calm, and he said in a serious tone, "From now on, Red Leaf Ridge and Hundred Medicine Valley will not interfere with each other and will not have any dealings with each other!"
"If anyone thinks that we are afraid of trouble, you are welcome to come and pick a fight with us!"
In Qu Jianlei's opinion, this news must be released. At the very least, his side has occupied the high ground in terms of reason and law.
Although the law is a bit unreliable, just like the Bai family’s courtyard was destroyed, there is no place to seek justice.
But the team is strong enough to reason with the other side - even if they don't want to reason, they can beat you into reasoning.
"Okay, that's no problem!" Yan Xuemin agreed without hesitation.
Compared with the possible violent conflict, spreading some news is not a big deal.
As long as the family is of similar size, there will be people responsible for related matters.
In fact, the Yan family members were very happy to do this, after all, Hongye Ridge was on their own territory.
Although this organization is powerful, it never takes the initiative to cause trouble. The key is that it still respects the host enough.
Who wouldn’t like such a partner?
When the Yan family members spread the news, some people even couldn't help but exaggerate, saying that it was thanks to the Yan family that they intervened.
Otherwise, Hongyeling would not give up so easily!
It is human nature to boast. What the Yan family members said was not entirely fabricated and was even closer to the truth.
However, once the news got out, it was bound to be distorted. Many young men in Cuiping Mountain said that it was fortunate that our ancestor Yu Ren intervened.
Anyway, the general rumor is that Hongye Ridge doesn't want to have anything to do with Baiyao Valley, but it also doesn't want to have any contact with them in the future.
Logically, when Baiyao Valley heard the news, it should have been even more restless, and it would not be surprising for the Immortal Wu Liu to come knocking on their door.
However, in the blink of an eye, another two months passed and there was no response from Baiyao Valley.
It is absolutely impossible that they did not receive the message.
Even if they do not have similar intelligence capabilities, no one knows how many people are willing to take the initiative to send the intelligence over.
Anyway, Hua Xiezi felt that this was extremely abnormal. "Someone has come here to buy the repair fluid. What is Baiyao Valley thinking?"
There were indeed people chasing us, and there were more than one wave.
Some people received the news late, and some people simply did not want to show up in the market.
However, Hongye Ridge does not receive outsiders, so these people can only temporarily stay in Sujia Village and wait for opportunities.
The seventh phase of the expansion project of Su's Hotel is in full swing...
This is not a big deal. What Hua Xiezi is thinking about is: Will Baiyao Valley play tricks on us?
However, Qu Jianlei didn't take it seriously. "So what if they play dirty tricks? In Red Leaf Ridge... who are we afraid of?"
Fighting on someone else's territory is fine, but after years of operation, Hongyeling is no longer what it used to be.
Another seven or eight days passed, and Qu Jianlei was comprehending the feeling of leaving his body when he suddenly felt a sudden inspiration.
He walked up a not-so-high hill and looked thoughtfully toward the east, which was the direction they came from.
To be more precise, it is the direction of the large formation that seals the void.
Soon after, Qing Hu, Jia Shuiqing and others also came out - everyone felt something was wrong.
Seeing the Yuanyings coming out one after another, Flower Scorpion also chased out, "Boss, what happened?"
Qu Jianlei took out the tortoise shell and shell, then put them away after thinking about it.
"The town sealing formation may have encountered some trouble, but it's not our turn to worry about it yet."
He could be sure that, at least for now, the trouble was not too big.
The key point is that everyone is a cultivator from outside and has not yet fully integrated into our world, so they are not worthy of worrying about this at all.
A few days later, Yan Xuemin came again. He said that there were changes in the sealing formation of the town, and the Cultivator Alliance issued a call to form a patrol team.
Hua Xiezi asked what had happened, but Yan Xuemin couldn't explain it.
He just stammered, "Your strength is well known. I'm afraid you won't be able to escape conscription."
"No problem," Flower Scorpion answered without hesitation, "If the Alliance gives us a high deacon, we will obey the call."
"There are only five grand deacons in total," Yan Xuemin could only smile bitterly, "and they are currently full."
Hearing this, Hua Xiezi narrowed his eyes slightly, "We have many True Immortals in our family, but they don't even give us a Grand Deacon. Then we won't obey the conscription."
"This..." Yan Xuemin wanted to say something when he heard this, but suddenly found that he was speechless.
There are at least five Nascent Souls, one Immortal Beast, and one Nascent Soul Spirit in Hongye Valley.
With such strength, it would be no problem for them to be among the top twelve forces, and definitely among the top six.
In fact, if it were not for the past foundation, Hongyeling would most likely be among the top three forces when a conflict occurred in the wild.
They actually have no seat in the cultivator alliance and no say at all.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it. "Master Hua, my Yan family has no say."
"Then tell Cuipingshan," Huaxiezi replied bluntly, "that we refused to obey the conscription and let them punish us."
Cuiping Mountain will punish you? Yan Xuemin was even more speechless. Does the Li family have the courage to send someone?
Even if Li Yuren came in person, he would be kicked out by you, right?
As for the other two True Immortals in Cuiping Mountain, Li Yuren would definitely not agree.
But no matter what, now that the other party has made this statement, he can report to his superiors.
As for whether the recruitment can be successful, it is no longer his business.
So he smiled and said, "I don't have the power to judge you. Just report it, but you should also be careful of people who are trying to do bad things."
"We are not afraid, we even welcome it," Flower Scorpion said calmly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."
"What we are afraid of is that they don't even have the courage to do bad things, and only dare to do things in secret!"
