Chapter 122 – A spy? (Plus one more shift)
Chapter 122 – A spy? (plus one more)
Zhang Donglai frowned and quickly released.
It was thought that Song Quan had delayed because he was thinking of striking at a place farther away from the sect.
There was no harm in waiting a little longer.
But this time, another two hours passed, and Song Quan still didn’t come back.
Zhang Donglai’s eyebrows slightly wrinkled, this Song Quan is too inconsiderate, even after coming back will not even reply to the order.
It seems that if there is anything in the future, he cannot be entrusted to deal with it.
The tea in the cup had already cooled down, so Zhang Donglai simply put down the tea and got up to walk towards Song Quan’s residence.
However, Song Quan’s house was locked, a sign that no one had returned.
Zhang Donglai’s heart gradually developed an unpleasant feeling, but soon, he suppressed this feeling.
Song Quan was a veteran cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Practicing, and he possessed two top-grade spiritual weapons, of which the Black Wind Crossbow was a holy weapon for attacking and killing.
Against Xu Chuniang, who was at the sixth level of Qi Practicing, it was still a piece of cake.
Maybe she was delayed by something else.
Zhang Donglai convinced himself, but for some reason, there was still some uneasiness in his heart.
He simply walked towards the east, and before long, he arrived at the East Gate.
The two disciples on duty at the east gate saluted at the sight of Zhang Donglai, “Good day, Steward Zhang!”
Zhang Donglai waved his head and spoke as if casually, “I asked Song Quan to go out and do something for me, I don’t know where he went after he came back. Do you guys remember, what time did he come back?”
The two disciples on duty were slightly stunned, and after looking at each other, they said, “Song Quan, he has been out for more than three hours and has not returned.”
A hint of surprise appeared under Zhang Donglai’s eyes, which passed in an instant.
With a smile on his face, he spoke, “I guess Song Quan had a hard time going out on official business and somewhat forgot about the time. When and if he returns, you guys remember to let me know.”
The two disciples on duty answered in unison, “Alright, if Song Quan returns, we will go to the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs to inform you.”
Zhang Donglai had just turned around when the smile on his face turned into gloom.
Song Quan had not returned on time, and in all probability, he had encountered trouble.
However, after leaving the East Gate and traveling all the way east, there were no demonic beasts at all, so what kind of trouble could he have encountered.
In all likelihood, he was given to that ugly girl.
This thought just popped up and was directly extinguished by Zhang Donglai.
Impossible, that ugly girl is only practicing qi sixth layer cultivation, it is absolutely impossible to cross two layers of cultivation, kill the eighth layer of qi practicing Song Quan.
Song Quan had definitely encountered something else.
Zhang Donglai was annoyed in his heart and only hoped that this Song Quan had encountered trouble after killing that ugly girl.
Only right now, he had no way to verify this matter.
One month later.
Looking at the endless plains in front of her, Xu Chuniang’s spirit shook as she finally stepped out from the rolling hills.
On the way down the mountain, Xu Chuniang barely used her stance, only moving forward with her body’s strength, and her speed wasn’t too slow.
If she used her body to hurry, she was more than twice as fast, but it took time to recover her spiritual energy. On average, it took about the same amount of time.
Not to mention, in this month, the further away from the Easy Sect, the thinner the aura became.
After going down the mountain, the aura was even thinner to the extent that it was only one-fifth of the extent of the outer gate of the Easy Sect.
By the time they reached the real mundane world, the aura would only be even less.
The less spiritual qi there was, the longer it would take to recover spiritual energy.
Xu Chuniang was already prepared for this, and although she wasn’t quite used to it, she was trying her best to adjust to the environment as soon as possible.
She took out the map to check it out, and after confirming her location, she continued on in one direction.
As usual, Xu Chuniang didn’t utilize her spiritual energy, relying only on her forging strength to hurry. The plains were straight, much better than the mountain paths.
However, this place was close to the mountains and barren, and it took her two months of traveling before she finally arrived at the border of the Great Qin Kingdom.
Xu Chuniang now finally understood why the sect would leave six months for the disciples to use exclusively for the journey.
It was really the vastness of the country, and using both feet to catch up was just a little too slow.
Xu Chuniang couldn’t help but envy those foundation cultivators who were able to fly with their swords.
She remembered that when she first traveled to the Free Sect, she took the Jindan Elder’s flying boat.
In just six or seven days, she had arrived at the outer gate of the Easy Sect from her home village of Xu Jia underneath Wuchang County.
Even if the speed of a Foundation Cultivator’s sword flight was not as fast as a flying boat, she thought that it would not be much slower.
Xu Chuniang once again strengthened her determination to build a foundation.
If you can’t build the foundation, even if your cultivation reaches Qi cultivation perfection and you become the so-called half-step foundation builder, you will still be a mortal body and have no chance to reach the immortal path.
Only after achieving Foundation Establishment would one be considered to have broken away from the mortal body and embarked on the true path of cultivation.
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath, in front of her was the border town of the Great Qin Kingdom, so she would rest here for two days.
After three consecutive months of traveling, she was also a bit tired.
Before entering the city, Xu Chunniang was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
“Stop, show the road guide before entering this city.”
Xu Chuniang had left home at the age of eight to cultivate immortality, where would she have any road guide.
She took out the garrison order, “I am an outer disciple of the Easy Sect, and I’m going to carry out a garrison mission.”
“Ridiculous, do you really think you can impersonate a disciple of a great sect just by wearing green clothes and carrying a piece of broken iron?”
The soldier, however, did not believe it in the slightest, if he was truly a person of the Immortal Family, how could he speak to them in a regimented manner.
“If you are an outer disciple of the Easy Sect, I am still a Jindan Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.”
The soldier next to him echoed, “That’s right, without a road guide, all of them are treated as spies and arrested and locked up in the dungeon.”
It’s not like they haven’t seen a real Immortal Master before, either they have crane hair and chicken skin, immortal style and bones, or they have a calm and steady aura, and between their hands and feet, they have their own kind of arrogance.
Although the woman in front of them had some dusty temperament, but being this young, she might be a spy sent by another country to impersonate.
Catch up, is to make a merit.
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly, “What I said is true, not an impersonation.”
A few soldiers sniffed, instead becoming more certain of their inner suspicions.
A true immortal would not be so patient in talking to them, this was 100% a spy.
I just don’t know whether this spy is from Great Zhou or from the side of Great Chu.
“Hmph, without a road guide, even if a Jindan Ancestor arrives in person, it’s no good. Arrest her for me!”
A few soldiers glanced at each other and rushed towards Xu Chuniang in unison.
Xu Chuniang’s brows furrowed, she hadn’t wanted to argue with these mortal soldiers, but now it seemed that she had to take action.
With a wave of her hand, a wooden wall was born in front of her, easily stopping the several soldiers who rushed up.
Soldiers hit the wooden wall, body by a shock force, immediately was directly shaken away from a ten feet away.
Looking at the lime green wall that appeared out of thin air in front of them, the bottom of their eyes revealed the color of horror, this woman, is really that immortal person!
They couldn’t help but feel terrified and miserable in their hearts, having messed with the Immortal Master, I’m afraid that their lives will be accounted for here.
When a few people do not know what to do, the lord of the city, Meng Xiangzhi, happened to pass by, heard the commotion and rushed here, and at a glance, he saw the high wall condensed with mana, and the woman with a bland face behind the high wall, as well as the three or four soldiers who fell to the ground.
His heart sank, it seemed that there was trouble.
On Thursday, I will add a more, the main female character’s late cultivation speed has a chance to improve. Thanks to Dao Friends Huang Yue Ping, Yunzi who loves to eat fish, . . for the reward, as well as friends and friends tickets.
