Chapter 420 Safe Journey

Hao Yan took a sip of the spiritual tea and casually said:
"This is a matter of opinion. We are not cultivators of the Famous Sword Sect. Although we don't understand, we can respect their choice. After all, it is their own decision."

Yunxi immediately nodded in agreement. In any case, the boomerang hit the cultivators of the Famous Sword Sect, who were outsiders, so there was no need to say anything to avoid affecting the cooperation in the future.

Haoqing shrugged indifferently and said:
"I know, I was just talking to my senior sister. Ranxi, just listen and forget about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yunxi obediently agreed, and then tactfully took her leave. After returning to her cabin, she took out the jade slip given to her by her master, which contained detailed information on the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Five Regions who were qualified to participate in the Grand Competition.

This will be very helpful for her participation in the competition. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. She will take advantage of the time on the road to study it carefully, and then make a copy of the jade slip for Zhang Lingrui and Lin Keyang as well.

Meanwhile, Shi Jun returned to his cabin and went to see Venerable Ming Hong.

Venerable Minghong was reading the latest news jade slip when he saw Shijun enter and asked:
"Shi Jun, what is it?"

Shi Jun bowed respectfully and asked abruptly:
"Your Excellency, is that little girl named Ranxi really as powerful as the legends say?"

Upon hearing this, Minghong gracefully put down the jade slip in his hand and asked:

"What? What did Ranxi say to you?"

Shi Jun said somewhat weakly:
"She didn't say anything, but it was as if she said everything."

She then recounted their conversation, which made Minghong shake his head. However, he believed that the girl had no intention of mocking the Famous Sword Sect and was simply curious.

After Shi Jun finished speaking and seeing that Venerable Minghong showed no sign of anger, he continued:

“Your Excellency, the Flying Sword Hall of the sect has not collected much information about this girl, but she is a rising star of the Haoran Sect in the past twenty years and can be considered a true genius disciple.”

I had the privilege of meeting her once during the Shuangshan City incident. Back then, she was just a greenhorn, only at the Foundation Establishment stage. But now her cultivation has surpassed mine, which truly makes me feel ashamed.

Venerable Minghong sighed and said:

"Shi Jun, whenever a major event occurs in the Weiyu Realm, new talents always rise up. The last time was five hundred years ago. How many exceptionally talented cultivators perished in the Weiyu Realm in order to eliminate the evil cultivators? Have you forgotten?"

When this topic came up, Shi Jun immediately fell silent, because he was also a semi-participant in it.

At this moment, Venerable Mingxian, who had been silent all along, spoke:

"That great battle can only be described as a Pyrrhic victory for the Weiyu Realm, which is why the evil cultivators changed their strategy and tried to overthrow the Weiyu Realm again by slowly boiling the frog in water."

"I did not ascend, partly because Senior Brother Mingjia asked me to come out of seclusion, but also because I did not sense the opportunity for ascension."

After a brief silence, Minghong spoke:

"We don't know what traps the evil cultivators have prepared for this Five Domains Competition. Go and remind the participating disciples to be vigilant and not to be caught off guard."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shi Jun accepted the order and left the cabin.

After Shi Jun left, Ming Hong finally spoke:

"Senior Brother Mingxian, did you sense something when you broke through?"

Because Mingxian is currently at the peak of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, and is only a hair's breadth away from breaking through, Minghong asked this question. Mingxian nodded and then shook his head, saying:

"When I broke through, I sensed the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, and some fragmented images flashed in my mind, but I did not remember them."

After Mingjia learned of this, he also told me not to ascend for the time being, because we couldn't contact the ancestors of the Spirit Realm, the situation in the Upper Realm was unclear, and evil cultivators were starting to cause trouble in the Weiyu Realm, so we had to ensure the stability of the Weiyu Realm first.

"No wonder Senior Brother Mingjia sent you to the Central Region with me this time. I hope everything goes smoothly this time."

Minghong sighed and then looked down to continue examining the message jade slip in his hand.

At this time, the cultivators from the other three regions had also gathered and set off for the Central Region. This grand event was a once-in-a-century occurrence, and some cultivators who were not participating in the Five Regions Grand Competition also rushed to the Central Region, hoping to seize this opportunity to earn spirit stones.

The cultivators from the other three domains all tacitly chose to travel in groups, not giving the evil cultivators hiding in the shadows a chance to launch a surprise attack halfway. Therefore, the participating cultivators from all four domains successfully arrived at the Central Domain.

On the last day of their journey together, Haoran Sect and Mingjian Sect were caught up with by the Western Regions Loose Cultivator Alliance's spaceship. To Haoyan and the others' surprise, the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance was none other than "Five Poisons Hermit" Xiangsi Zi, a formidable character.

Wearing a purple-red fitted flowing robe, with a faint smile on her beautiful face, Xiang Si Zi first visited Venerable Ming Hong and Venerable Ming Xian of the Famous Sword Sect, and then boarded the Hao Ran Sect's airship.

Because the Loose Cultivator Alliance's spaceship was flying on the other side of the Haoran Sect, many disciples came out of their cabins and went to the deck to watch the excitement, including Wei Yunqing.

Almost no one spoke to her along the way, and she couldn't bring herself to seek out Sheng Yuhong, who was in the cabin on the floor reserved for Golden Core cultivators. In addition, the Shadow Gray Python was somewhat timid, so she spent most of the past twenty days in the cabin.

When Wei Yunqing discovered that the Loose Cultivator Alliance's spaceship was traveling alongside them, his curiosity was piqued, so he went up to the deck to watch the excitement.

But when Xiang Si Zi stepped onto the deck, Wei Yun Qing discovered that Ying Xi, who was wrapped around her wrist, had increased the force of the wrapping, as if she could break her wrist at any moment, causing her to gasp in pain.

At the same time, Xiangsizi seemed to sense something. Her charming eyes looked at Wei Yunqing's wrist, and then her red lips curled up slightly, revealing a captivating smile. A collective gasp filled the air, perfectly masking Wei Yunqing's cry of pain.

Wei Yunqing immediately lowered her eyes, pressed down on Yingxi hidden under her sleeve, and asked telepathically:

"Shadow Departure, what's wrong?"

“Master, this Venerable One has an aura that makes Shadow Annihilation afraid.”

Although Wei Yunqing didn't know who the visitor was, she was certain it was a big shot from the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Yingxi did indeed convey fear to her, so she patted Yingxi reassuringly and put it into her spirit beast pouch. This time, Yingxi cooperated perfectly and didn't resist at all.

With a blink of her alluring eyes, Xiangsizi averted her gaze and was invited into the cabin of the two venerable ones.

Hao Yan and Hao Qing greeted each other politely with clasped hands. Xiang Si Zi returned the greeting and then casually sat down, smiling as she asked:

Why didn't Haoyi come?

Knowing that Xiangsizi was acquainted with Ancestor Haoyi, the two replied:

"Senior Sister Haoyi stayed behind at the sect to oversee things. If she had known that you would be leading the team personally this time, we might not have been chosen for this mission."

"Tsk tsk, you don't need to say such nice things. I know her well. She hates trouble the most, while I am the complete opposite. I love to join in the fun. What's more, there are evil cultivators involved here. I have to come no matter what. They caused my Loose Cultivator Alliance to lose so many cultivators. I have to get back at them."

After saying that, he grinned, which sent chills down the spines of both Hao Yan and Hao Qing.

 More to come later, I'll upload it once it's coded.
