Chapter 98 Kaiyang Town 3
Chapter 98 Kaiyang Town 3
The next day, the three heard shouts of surprise outside. When they opened the window, they saw a gigantic ape-like spirit beast that blotted out the sky and leaped into the city from the outside.
The moment they landed, the ape-shaped spirit beast rapidly shrank, and the five people standing on its back gracefully landed on the ground.
This powerful control is enough to show that they are exceptionally strong.
The crowd, which had scattered due to the turmoil, gathered around again.
As the five people walked, the crowd parted to both sides.
Walked to the window of Cheng Jiu and the other two:
"Junior brother! Why aren't you coming down yet?"
"Senior Brother, what brings you here!" Mao Hongsheng jumped down from the window and landed in front of the five people: "Senior Brother Gao, Senior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Yan, Senior Sister He."
"Junior Brother Mao."
When this was mentioned, Zhao Wenqi's voice became somewhat resentful: "This is because the Heavenly Mystery Sect predicted the beast tide, and your Senior Sister Yuqiu has also returned."
Our sect's main defense area is still the wilderness. Therefore, she led the disciples of the Body Peak to guard the wilderness. Other cities also need to send several elders from each peak to be stationed there.
Our Tifeng has the second largest number of people, and the sect leader has sent down many more. Those who can serve as elders and be stationed there must be at the Nascent Soul stage.
So, she ordered everyone who met the criteria to go out and join the ranks! Even though I've become an elder of the outer sect, she still dragged me out to make up the numbers.
They even said that I used to be the senior disciple of Tifeng, and even though I became an outer sect elder, I was still a member of Tifeng.
My master didn't care about me either, so I was sent here.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Zhao!" Upstairs at the restaurant, Cheng Jiu and Wen Sishu also jumped down to greet Zhao Wenqi.
"Junior Sister Cheng Jiu, it's been a long time, and Junior Brother Wen is here too." Cheng Jiu had trained at the Body Peak before, and Zhao Wenqi was, after all, the senior brother of the Body Peak, and he knew almost all the direct disciples of the various peaks.
"I heard that Junior Brother came here to do a mission, so I came to see you, Junior Brother."
"Then, senior brother, since you're here to guard the city, you should go find the city lord first. As your junior brother, I shouldn't bother you. Senior brother, junior sister, and I will return to the sect first."
Mao Hongsheng didn't believe his senior brother at all. He saw him every day in the sect and didn't think he had that much influence. It was just that he had gone on a mission and that his senior brother had come to see him.
“Junior brother, why are you in such a hurry? The beast tide has already begun to form outside. It won’t be safe for you to go back! As your senior brother, I’m worried about you.” Zhao Wenqi put his arm around his junior brother’s neck.
"Senior brother, don't worry. Senior brother and junior sister are still strong enough to go back. Don't try to stop us. Go find the city lord. After all, time is of the essence!"
Mao Hongsheng tried to push his arm away, but couldn't.
"Am I some kind of monster, senior brother? Can't I even stay here for a few days? If something happens to you on your way back, how am I supposed to explain it to Master! Stay, junior brother."
Zhao Wenqi held his junior brother tightly with his arm.
"No need, Senior Brother. We were only here on a mission. Now that the mission is complete, we should return to the sect. The sect will surely need our help in some way." Mao Hongsheng:
"Moreover, we brought a lot of life-saving magic treasures with us this time. Senior brother, we are not children anymore, so you don't need to worry about us."
"Junior brother! Do you know how many people your senior sister Yuqiu sent for me this time?" Zhao Wenqi bared his fangs.
"Four? Only four? Just you four senior brothers and sisters! Your senior sister He is a pill cultivator. Junior brother, haven't I treated you well all these years?"
"..."
"Junior brother, if you don't stay, how will I live!"
Zhao Wenqi hugged his junior brother and acted spoiled. As for what his junior sister Yuqiu said, that if he encountered his junior brother, he should return to the sect as soon as possible, he didn't listen to a word. What use are four people?
In the end, we still have to rely on him!
All he wanted to say was that he couldn't do it! Anyway, his second junior sister had said that if they wanted to add more teammates, they should recruit them themselves based on their own abilities.
He could only laugh. Most of the people in Tifeng had been recruited by Senior Sister Yuqiu to fight against the savage beast tide.
And since he was the last person to be notified, all the remaining people he knew about were lured away by his unfilial junior brothers and sisters.
In the end, his team still consisted of the same five people.
This is the downside of being ranked the highest and being older. His juniors all know about his connections and so on, and he's not exactly a social elite either!
It's true what they say, you only realize how few friends you have when you need them. As soon as he heard that his junior brother was forming a team to do a mission here, he came over without stopping. He skipped over every city he encountered along the way.
No matter what, he must catch this conscript!
A two-meter-tall, burly man hugged Mao Hongsheng and cried, which was quite an eyesore.
He even looked like he was about to cry if Mao Hongsheng didn't agree, which made Cheng Jiu and Wen Sishu, who were standing next to him, feel their eyes hurt.
"Senior brother, stop faking your tears! It's an eyesore! I can't decide this on my own, I have to ask Junior Sister Cheng Jiu and Senior Brother Wen." Mao Hongsheng finally gave in, he really couldn't stand it anymore, the tough guy was acting cute.
Can't his senior brother be a little normal? No wonder those old men on Tifeng Peak had opinions about Senior Sister Yuqiu taking over, but never thought of letting Zhao Wenqi take over.
They probably already knew he was so unreliable!
Zhao Wenqi grinned when he saw his junior brother agree, his face beaming with a simple and honest smile: "Junior brother, your senior brother hasn't spoiled you for nothing! Junior brothers and sisters, I wonder if Junior Brother Wen and Junior Sister Cheng Jiu would be willing to stay and help me!"
"He probably doesn't have time!" A phoenix cry echoed from the sky. A fiery red figure shot straight down from the sky, shattering the protective shield once again and landing steadily on the ground.
The city lord, who was repairing the protective shield, was practically crying in his mansion! What's wrong with these Guiyuan Sect disciples? Don't they know the city is under a no-fly zone?
Looking at it this way, Cheng Jiu and the other two really couldn't be more well-behaved and have the best temperaments.
As the flames subsided, a handsome and dashing man dressed in a bright red robe appeared before them.
With sword-like eyebrows and bright, star-like eyes, he gave off a flamboyant and radiant aura: "Junior Brother Wen is a disciple of my Medicine Peak, so of course he should help his senior brother!"
"Why is it you, the fried chicken?" Zhao Wenqi looked at the newcomer with disdain.
"Sixth Senior Brother!" Wen Sishu called out.
"Who are you calling a black gorilla?!"
"Whoever answers me, I'll say it! Weren't you locked up by your senior brother? How could An Qi agree to let you out and cause trouble for others!" Zhao Wenqi's tone was full of disdain.
Yan Xuan's eyes widened slightly: "What do you mean by harming others? You, a black gorilla with strong limbs but a simple mind, actually look down on me? I am a sixth-grade alchemist! Countless people would rather beg to curry favor with me."
"A sixth-grade alchemist? Trying to curry favor with me? If I stay by your side too long, I'll probably get blown up by you!" Zhao Wenqi said sarcastically.
"Ah! Even if you're my brother, don't think I won't take action!" Yan Xuan was so angry at his own brother that he lost his composure!
"Ah!" Wen Sishu and Mao Hongsheng, who were standing to the side, were stunned as they watched the two brothers bickering.
"Pah! I was born before you! You unfilial younger brother, you're trying to take advantage of your older brother again!" Zhao Wenqi spat.
"Mother said I should have been born first, but you, you barbarian, kicked me in the womb! We were born around the same time, so I'm the older brother!" Yan Xuan exploded, refusing to back down an inch.
"So what? I was born first, little brother!"
"I'm the older brother!"
"Really?" Zhao Wenqi strode forward; years of training had made him quite tall, even though Yan Xuan was already 1.8 meters tall. He measured Yan Xuan's head with his hand: "Little brother."
Yan Xuan was immediately taken aback. Although the two were twin brothers, they didn't look alike at all. Moreover, he didn't know if it was because this barbarian had stolen his nutrition in the womb, but he was always weaker and stronger than Zhao Wenqi since childhood and had always been suppressed.
Having finally gained entry into a sect, and possessing talent in alchemy, he was admitted to the wealthiest Medicine Peak, while Zhao Wenqi went to the second poorest Body Peak.
He felt he had finally won a round, but this physically strong but simple-minded guy kept using his height to belittle him! This was intolerable!
"I'll fight you!"
Zhao Wenqi looked at him speechlessly. It wasn't that he was saying that with his strength, only his exploding furnace could scare him. He reached out and supported Zhao Wenqi's forehead with his hand.
Yan Xuan could never hit him, and even if he did, he couldn't break through his defenses!
Yan Xuan was completely humiliated; it was too insulting: "Junior Brother, let's go!"
He grabbed Wen Sishu's hand, who was eating melon seeds next to him.
Then Zhao Wenqi grabbed him.
"What else do you want?" Yan Xuan glared at him angrily.
"You're a direct disciple of Yiyao Peak, you must have brought a lot of pills this time! Help your brother out!" Zhao Wenqi hugged his younger brother.
"Have you no shame?" Yan Xuan cursed angrily, trying to break free but unable to.
"You know I'm a pathetic body cultivator and I'm really poor! There's going to be another beast tide soon, can you bear to see me suffer?"
Zhao Wenqi complained about being poor, saying that body cultivators are indeed poor. Although Junior Sister Yuqiu had donated some spirit stones, they were all used up after buying some basic defensive items.
Now that his own troublesome younger brother has appeared in front of him, he's definitely going to try and squeeze some money out of him, since he's rich and powerful!
Let's help this poor man!
"You should have gone into weapon cultivation back then, why did you become a body cultivator! Wouldn't it be better to cultivate both body and weapon?" Yan Xuan was really at his wit's end with his older brother.
"I'm lazy!"
"You've really gone too far! Let me go!" Yan Xuan complained.
Zhao Wenqi hesitated for a moment, but still let go of his younger brother.
Yan Xuan tossed him a ring: "That's all. I won't give you any more if you want more!"
Zhao Wenqi happily put the item into his ring: "Junior Brother Wen, you have to stay too!"
This is an alchemist, or even the peak master's personal disciple; he would be a great help during the beast tide.
Yan Xuan exploded again. His brother was shameless as ever. "No way! Don't even think about it! He's my junior brother! Junior Brother Wen, who do you want to be with?"
Wen Sishu saw Cheng Jiu in a dilemma, but in the end, under Yan Xuan's expectant gaze, he chose to follow his sixth senior brother.
When Yan Xuan saw that Wen Sishu had decisively chosen him, he was so proud that his fur stood on end, and he looked at Zhao Wenqi with a smug expression.
Zhao Wenqi was just teasing him. The two were fellow disciples from the same peak, and he, being from an outer peak, was definitely no match for him. But Yan Xuan, who was always flustered, was really fun to watch. He had been like this since he was a child!
Even after I got thicker-skinned, I still exploded at the slightest provocation!
Cheng Jiu looked at Wen Sishu and Mao Hongsheng, who were each being led by their senior brothers, their eyes fixed intently on her.
Ah! What happened?!
How did she suddenly become the person in the chaotic scene?
Her master is Venerable Qingxu, and Venerable Qingxu only has her as his disciple. Now, even if she hopes that a senior brother or a celestial being will descend to earth to save her, there is no one.
Choosing either Senior Brother Wen or Senior Brother Mao is not a good idea right now.
Under the expectant gazes of his two senior brothers, Cheng Jiu hesitated and said, "Why don't I go back to the sect first?"
Zhao Wenqi also looked at Cheng Jiu, frowned, and reached out to pat Mao Hongsheng's head: "Why did you bring a junior sister who is at the Golden Core stage!"
He thought that Mao Hongsheng's team consisted of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but it turned out that Cheng Jiu was only a Golden Core stage cultivator. The Golden Core stage disciples should be in the sect to protect them.
"Golden Core stage? So what if I'm only at the Golden Core stage? Junior Sister Cheng is even stronger than me!" Mao Hongsheng rubbed his buzzing head, used to it! After all these years, his senior brother's strength is still so great!
He still remembers that when he first woke up, he was in Qingxu Palace of Qingxu Venerable Lord, and the person who came to pick him up was his eldest senior brother.
I was so excited to see him that I kept turning him over and over to check his injuries, and I almost sent him away.
Finally, An Qi, the senior brother from Yaofeng, gave Mao Hongsheng a good scolding. Mao Hongsheng almost died when the secret realm was shattered, but he died at the hands of his senior brother.
"Alright, it's nothing! We brought a teleportation array this time, so you can just use it to return to the sect, Junior Sister."
Yes, Guiyuan Sect also has its own directional teleportation array, but not all sects are as wealthy as Medicine King Valley. The spirit stones consumed for each teleportation are considerable, and repeated use can damage the array.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the other four sects will only use the teleportation array in extremely critical situations that concern the entire cultivation world; otherwise, they will usually put it away.
Unlike Medicine King Valley, which has teleportation arrays in every city, large and small, and whose damage and replacement are all the responsibility of Medicine King Valley.
Users only need to pay a small amount of spirit stones for the routine maintenance of the teleportation array.
"Then I'll leave it to Senior Brother Zhao."
“Yes, one thousand top-grade spirit stones per teleportation,” Zhao Wenqi said.
"I knew you were broke. I'll pay for Junior Sister's spirit stones!"
Yan Xuan looked at his brother with disdain, then felt a pang of regret, realizing that his brother had been a spendthrift when it came to body cultivation.
After becoming a body cultivator, even with family subsidies, they visibly became stingy.
"A thousand top-grade spirit stones could buy so many spirit medicines!"
Zhao Wenqi was not ashamed at all; body cultivators were indeed short of money, second only to sword cultivators.
All he had in his pocket were the three thousand top-grade spirit stones given to him by his second junior sister.
These are for use in case Maple City cannot be defended and needs support, or if there is a shortage of supplies in the city, the teleportation array can be activated to seek help from Guiyuan Sect.
As for him, although he recently became an outer sect elder, there are more places where he needs to spend spirit stones, and he can't even spare five hundred top-grade spirit stones.
Of course, excluding the ring I just took from my brother!
Cheng Jiu wasn't short of spirit stones, so he refused! A thousand top-grade spirit stones was a lot; how could he let Senior Brother Yan pay for it?
Wen Sishu handed the letter he had written and the ring that the city lord had given him to Cheng Jiu.
Now that he's gone to help his sixth senior brother, he can't just leave the matter the city lord asked him to do unfinished. After all, Miss Qiu is naturally weak and should be eagerly looking forward to recovering her health.
Therefore, he wanted Cheng Jiu to give the letter and the medicinal herbs to his senior brother so that his senior brother could refine them for Miss Qiu as soon as possible.
This will also allow Ms. Qiu to be free from illness and regain a new life as soon as possible.
Cheng Jiu put away the ring and returned to the sect via the teleportation array.
