Chapter 459 The escort by the Lord of Youyue Prefecture, the power of the chief of the Holy Land Grotto-Heaven

As the people around them finished speaking, the owners of those streaks of light stopped about a thousand feet away from the golden armored chariot.

There were two men and one woman in total.

Their cultivation levels are all at the Refinement of Emptiness realm.

At this moment, their gazes all turned to Ji Haoyuan, who was seated atop the golden armored chariot, and they bowed in respect:
"We pay our respects to the Chief of the Tai Cang Cave Heaven!"
I apologize for not greeting you properly and hope the Chief will not take offense.

"What? The chief disciple of the Tai Cang Cave Heaven?"

Upon hearing the words of the Lord of Youyue and the other two, the onlookers in the distance once again showed expressions of surprise.

"No wonder, he is the chief of the cave heaven of the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Laws."

With such a grand entrance, it's no surprise.

Some people looked as if they had just realized something.

However, some people are unclear about what exactly the so-called chief of the Tai Cang Cave Heaven is all about.

So he asked the people around him.

When they learned from those in the know about the significance of the chief of Taicang Cave Heaven, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan turned his gaze to each of the three people.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"You're too kind, everyone."

I was merely passing through this place, and I've disturbed you all.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man who was leading the group of three, who was also the Lord of Youyue Prefecture, quickly shook his head.

"Chief Ji, please don't say that."

It is an honor for Youyue Prefecture and for us that you have passed through here.

I wonder if Chief Ji has any free time?

If possible, please allow us to extend our hospitality as hosts.

Clearly, both the Lord of Youyue Prefecture and the two vice lords beside him were trying their best to establish a relationship with Ji Haoyuan.

Ji Haoyuan understood this as well.

A top disciple of a sacred grotto-heaven like him would typically have some personal figures to rely on outside the sect.

As far as he knew, the chief disciples of the other seven great grotto-heavens within the Myriad Laws Holy Land each possessed their own power outside their sects in the Central Divine Continent.

Only he was short of experience.

In addition, it hasn't been long since he advanced to the Void Refinement stage.

Therefore, he has not yet had time to cultivate his own external forces outside the sect.

Right now, the three lords of Youyue Prefecture must have realized this.

That's why they rushed over as soon as they learned they were there.

While Ji Haoyuan wouldn't directly shut them out, he also wouldn't give them an immediate answer.

After all, his understanding of the three people in front of him was limited to some superficial things.

What kind of person is he, and whether there are any other families behind him?

He knew nothing about these things.

and so.

All he can offer in return is goodwill.

"Lord Youyue, I appreciate your kindness."

However, I do have something to attend to right now and need to return to the sect first.

How about this.

This is my identity jade pendant. After I finish dealing with what I have to do, we can arrange a time to meet again.

Is that alright?

As he spoke, Ji Haoyuan pushed a jade token toward the Lord of Youyue Prefecture.

Seeing this, the Lord of Youyue Prefecture was slightly disappointed, but he still accepted the jade token with both hands and said very politely:
"In that case, we will not disturb Chief Ji any longer."

Chief Ji can contact us anytime. We will respond immediately upon receiving your message.

Having said that, the Lord of Youyue Prefecture seemed to have thought of something else and continued:
"By the way, Chief Ji, this is a small token of our appreciation that my two fellow Daoists and I prepared before we arrived. We hope you will not refuse it."

As they were speaking, the Lord of Youyue Prefecture politely handed a storage bracelet to Ji Haoyuan.

Upon seeing this, Ji Haoyuan hesitated only slightly before smiling and accepting the storage bracelet.

"Lord Youyue, you are very kind."

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

"That's how it should be, that's how it should be."

Seeing that Ji Haoyuan accepted their gifts, the three of them were secretly pleased.

At that moment, the graceful female cultivator beside the Lord of Youyue Prefecture said:
"Chief Ji, how about we escort you on the way?"

Upon hearing this, both the Lord of Youyue Prefecture and the other Deputy Lord of Youyue Prefecture showed expressions of anticipation.

Ji Haoyuan knew that if he really wanted to take them in in the future, he would find it difficult to refuse their small request.

then.

In the time that followed, everyone in Youyue Prefecture saw it.

In their eyes, the high and mighty governor and the two deputy governors were like three lackeys, politely escorting Ji Haoyuan.

They only stopped when Ji Haoyuan's golden armored chariot had completely left the territory of Youyue Prefecture.

They watched as Ji Haoyuan's golden armored chariot completely disappeared from their sight.

Another deputy governor, who hadn't spoken much, looked at the Youyue Governor and the female cultivator and said:
"Lord of the State, Fellow Daoist Lan, do you think Chief Ji will accept us in the future?"

This person's name is Ge Qianshan.

Upon hearing his words, both the Lord of Youyue Prefecture and the female cultivator surnamed Lan shook their heads with wry smiles.

"Well, we can't really say."

But as long as Chief Ji doesn't refuse, we still have a chance.

After all, in this Central Plains, there are not many people like us who have not yet become disciples of any holy land.

Most importantly, the one at Taichong Holy Land has a truly enormous appetite.

Otherwise, neither you nor I would need to be in such a hurry.

Upon hearing the sudden mention of the Taichong Holy Land, whether it was the Lord of Youyue Prefecture who had just spoken, Lan Siyun, or Ge Qianshan, they all fell silent for a moment.

A few moments.

Lan Siyun then broke the silence again.

She said, "Actually, we don't have many options right now."

If Chief Ji is unwilling to accept us, then no matter how big the appetite of that person from Taichong Holy Land is, you and I have no reason to refuse.

After all, if a holy master like them is truly determined to make us submit to him, we have no chance of refusing.

The reason we are still given time to consider is simply because we don't want to make things too ugly.

After all, if he truly wants to obtain the Youyue Spirit Spring in our Youyue Prefecture, it will be very difficult for him to achieve it without our help.

……

Ji Haoyuan was unaware of the conversation between the Lord of Youyue Prefecture and the others.

At this moment, several jade slips were now in front of him.

These jade slips all contained information about Youyue Prefecture and its ruler.

He had just sent a message to the inside of the gate.

Within seconds, the corresponding information was transmitted directly via jade slip.

This is the energy that a chief of a sacred grotto-heaven can draw upon within the sacred ground.

Just one sentence.

Even if you are millions of miles away, the sect can still transmit the information you need to you in a special way in the first instance.
