A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

During their journey, the three, having nothing else to do, started talking about the current situation in the Northern Continent.

It was on this point that Fei Qingluo specifically instructed Ye Yun and the other person.

"Kid, the battle for the leader of Wanmeng City is currently underway. When you get there, remember to keep a low profile."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Does that mean there might be some danger during this period?"

He had initially thought that security for such a grand event would be exceptionally well-managed.

Fei Qinglu shook her head at this.

"In the past, there was indeed no danger, and the Jian family's position as the leader of the alliance was very secure."

"Under these circumstances, naturally no one would dare to cause trouble during this time."

"But this year, the Jade Snow Fairy appeared, and some people say that Senior Jian Wuyai's condition is not very good."

"Naturally, some people in the alliance started to have their own ideas."

After hearing his explanation, Ye Yun suddenly understood.

"I understand. You mean someone might take this opportunity to kick the Jian family when they're down?"

Fei Qinglu nodded and said slowly.

"This is highly likely."

Hong Xian'er, standing beside her, echoed with a serious expression.

"Indeed, the Jian family has held the position of alliance leader for so many years, and the power structure of the Northern Continent has gradually become fixed."

"Although no one openly objects, and no one dares to object, I estimate that many people are secretly dissatisfied."

"Now we finally see a chance to turn things around, and many forces want to take advantage of this opportunity."

According to Hong Xian'er, there is a high possibility that someone might use this opportunity to help the Jade Snow Fairy's faction deal with the Sword Family.

Since there is confrontation and conflict, danger will naturally follow; this is almost an ironclad rule.

The only difference is whether the danger is overt or covert...

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but ask.

"Speaking of which, who exactly is this Jade Snow Fairy? Wasn't there such a person in the Northern Continent before?"

Although he had learned a little about Yue Rushuang from her last visit to the Moon Wheel Holy Land.

But I only asked a few questions and didn't delve into the details. I still don't know much about her.

Hong Xian'er did provide an answer to this question.

"The origin of this Jade Snow Fairy is indeed very strange. I have never heard of such a person in the Northern Continent Alliance before."

"She participated in the recent challenge representing a core family of the alliance."

"However, some investigations have shown that this family has never had such a strong person before; the strongest was only at the sixth level of the Imperial Dao Realm."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun was taken aback and frowned slightly.

"Good heavens, could this be some outside help they hired?"

Hong Xian'er nodded slightly and took a deep breath.

"It is indeed possible, but they do not admit it, insisting that this Jade Snow Fairy has long been a member of their clan."

"It's just that it hasn't been born yet."

Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he said irritably.

"No, would the other families in the alliance accept such a reason?"

Fei Qingluo joked about this.

"Admit it! Why wouldn't you admit it? Have you forgotten what we just discussed?"

"There are quite a few people in the Northern Continent Alliance who want the Jian family to fall."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun suddenly realized the truth.

"I understand, that makes sense."

Things like hiring outside help are inherently in a gray area of ​​ambiguity.

If most people in the league think they're hiring outside help, then this family is the one hiring outside help.

If most people don't think so, then the family has invited a newly born senior member of the family.

Ultimately, this is still a matter of the minority submitting to the majority.

As for the current leader of the alliance, Jian Wuyai, the head of the Jian family, he is not powerful enough to sweep across the entire Northern Continent.

Naturally, we can only acknowledge this Jade Snow Fairy.

If we win, we can naturally settle accounts with the family that hired the outside help afterwards.

If you lose, you can only say that you are not skilled enough, and you have to accept it...

Hong Xian'er took a deep breath and said.

"In short, this year's battle for the title of leader will likely not be as peaceful as in previous years."

"If that's the case, then we really need to be careful."

After listening, Ye Yun pondered for a moment, becoming wary.

Fei Qinglu nodded slightly in response.

"That's right, although no one over there should have seen you before, it's still better to be careful."

Hong Xian'er pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Should I disguise myself?"

"This...no need."

Fei Qinglu shook her head and explained.

"With your disguise skills, you'll be easily detected by high-level cultivators, which will only make you more conspicuous."

"Once you arrive at your destination, just bring a magical artifact to conceal your presence."

"For example... the straw hat Your Highness wore when you went to the Black Abyss last time."

After listening to her analysis, Hong Xian'er also felt that it made sense.

Indeed, most disguise techniques can only fool cultivators of the same or lower level.

As for those at higher levels of power, they would be even more conspicuous...

"Okay, I understand."

Ye Yun, who was standing nearby, also asked the question.

"And what about me?"

"you?"

Fei Qingluo glanced at him and said indifferently.

"You can do whatever you want, kid. If you want to play it safe, you can use that disguise magic item."

After all, she had witnessed Ye Yun's illusion techniques before, which were almost impossible for even Emperor-level experts to discern.

"Okay, then I'll get a new face."

Ye Yun smiled faintly, thinking it best to be on the safe side.

Who knows if places like the Nine Nether Holy Land and the Ascension Sect have sent anyone to Wanmeng City to observe the Grand Competition?

I reckon I'm already on the death list of both sides; either one of them would be a problem.

……

With Fei Qingluo's escort, they quickly arrived at the Eastern Border City.

And luckily, the teleportation to the Northern Continent is about to begin.

Like the teleportation array in the Eastern City, it is a three-way array.

Being able to freely switch between the North Continent, the South Continent, and even the West Continent simply requires time to complete the switch.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, a maximum of one intercontinental transfer can be made per day.

The teleportation arrays on the other three continents, once activated, will all teleport people to the array in the Eastern City.

This is precisely why waging a major war across continents is extremely difficult...

"Only ten teleportation slots left! Those who want to go to the Northern Continent, hurry up!"

The monks from the holy land responsible for maintaining order shouted to those around them.

Ye Yun and his two companions quickly ascended to the teleportation array.

Before long, the teleportation slots were full, and the teleportation platform was packed with people.

"Teleportation is about to begin!"

Someone shouted, and the array lit up, preparing for intercontinental teleportation.

During this time, Ye Yun held Hong Xian'er's hand, while his gaze idly drifted towards the Eastern Border City.

Because this teleportation platform is located at a high point in the city, it overlooks the nearby streets and pedestrians.

It wasn't a big deal; he just glanced at it casually.

It was at this glance that he spotted a somewhat familiar figure in the crowd.

Her petite figure was shrouded in a large black robe, with only a few strands of red hair peeking out.

"Hmm? This is...?"

Ye Yun's gaze sharpened slightly, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Just then, the intercontinental teleportation array beneath their feet shone brightly, transforming into a blazing pillar of light that shot into the sky!

A strong feeling of weightlessness spread throughout his body, and his vision blurred, making him unable to see the girl in black robes anymore.

At the same time, the girl on the street turned her head and glanced at the blazing pillar of light that had activated the teleportation.

On her petite face was an exquisite and beautiful mask.

Through the hole in the mask, the girl glanced coldly at the teleportation beam.

Seemingly finding nothing, she quickly blended into the crowd and disappeared.

……

The teleportation process lasted a long time, and gradually I regained a sense of solid ground, and my field of vision was restored.

The intercontinental teleportation ended when the light faded.

Many people on the teleportation platform dispersed and left.

"Ye Yun, what's wrong?"

Just as Hong Xian'er was about to leave, she noticed Ye Yun's gloomy expression and couldn't help but ask him a question with concern.

Even Fei Qingluo, who was standing next to him, looked at him and teased him.

"You little rascal, did you get teleportation sick?"

Some people with special physical conditions may experience symptoms similar to dizziness when riding a teleportation array.

Ye Yun shook his head.

"no."

After a long while, he finally raised his head and took a deep breath.

"I think I just saw someone I know on the streets of Eastbound City."

Fei Qinglu raised her eyebrows slightly and asked curiously.

"Who could have scared you like that?"

Ye Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.

"He's somewhat like... the leader of the Ascension Cult."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, both Fei Qingluo and Hong Xian'er's beautiful eyes froze for a moment.

Hong Xian'er immediately followed up with a question.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Is he really the Ascension Cult Master?"

If this is true, it's a serious matter.

This means that the Ascension Cult Leader has gone to their Eastern Continent.

As for what they came for, I don't believe they were just visiting relatives...

Feeling the sharp gazes of the two women, Ye Yun said helplessly.

"I only saw her profile briefly, so I'm not entirely sure if it was her."

"I just feel that their body shape and hair color are somewhat similar, and I can't sense the fluctuations of their spiritual energy."

In this situation, either the opponent has a technique to conceal their inner energy or a magical artifact.

Either their cultivation level is far higher than Ye Yun's, making it impossible for them to detect it.

After hearing his words, the two women looked at each other and exchanged a glance.

Fei Qinglu frowned slightly and asked.

"What do we do now? Should we go back and investigate?"

As she spoke, she looked at Hong Xian'er.

Ye Yun was in the same boat. In this matter, the other party, as the Holy Maiden of the Holy Land, undoubtedly had the highest decision-making power.

Seeing this, Hong Xian'er pondered for a moment and said.

"I think we shouldn't take the risk. If he really is the leader of the Ascension Cult, it would be easy for us to be discovered if we investigate."

"At that time, all three of us might be in danger."

To put it bluntly, the three of them went to investigate the whereabouts of an Emperor-level expert.

That's basically like lighting a lamp in a latrine...

Ye Yun frowned and asked.

"But we can't just let it go like this, can we? What if she's here to cause trouble?"

If an Emperor-level expert wanted to cause trouble, it would probably be enough to turn the entire Eastern Continent upside down.

Hong Xian'er shook her head at this.

"Of course we're not ignoring it, but it's not our responsibility."

"In this Northern Border City, there is an intelligence organization from our Ancient Holy Land."

"I'll have someone send the message back to inform my master, and she can make the decision."

After saying that, she looked at Ye Yun and Fei Qingluo and asked.

What do you think?

Ye Yun and Fei Qingluo both pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in unison.

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

Without a doubt, this is the safest way.

It's best for ordinary people like us not to get involved in this kind of battle between top-tier experts.

Ye Yun understood perfectly well that what he had just seen was indeed the Ascension Cult Leader.

If the other party discovers it and takes action...

That cult leader probably won't give him another chance to use the teleportation scroll.

……

After that, Ye Yun followed Hong Xian'er and first went to find the intelligence organization of the ancient holy land in the city.

After the situation was explained, the spies there said they would send the information back as quickly as possible.

Only after the message was finished did Ye Yun and the other two leave.

"Alright, this matter is no longer our concern."

Fei Qinglu looked at Ye Yun and the other person and said with a smile.

"You two shouldn't put too much pressure on yourselves. Just focus on enjoying your date. I trust that His Majesty can handle this matter."

Ye Yun took it in stride and nodded in agreement.

"I understand, and I believe in my master."

"Yeah, me too..."

Hong Xian'er nodded slightly, but despite her words, she still felt a little worried.

Just then, Fei Qinglu clapped her hands and smiled at the two of them.

"Alright, I'll take you to Wanmeng City now; it's still quite a distance."

"Yes, thank you for your help."

Ye Yun nodded slightly and took Hong Xian'er's hand beside him.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

Although we have now arrived in North Border City, which means we have officially entered the territory of the Northern Continent.

However, it's still quite a long way to Wanmeng City, but fortunately, Fei Qingluo's magic weapon can help us get there quickly.

This was the first time Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er had ever been to the Northern Continent.

Therefore, they found all the scenery and landscapes here novel and fascinating.

This somewhat eased the tense atmosphere that had just been felt upon seeing the leader of the Ascension Cult.

After nearly a day and a night of travel, they finally arrived at their destination.

As they approached their arrival, Fei Qinglu smiled at Ye Yun and the other person.

"Look ahead, both of you. That's the most prosperous and bustling city in the entire Northern Continent, Wanmeng City!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er, who were meditating and resting, both opened their eyes.

"Where is it? Let me see!"

Ye Yun quickly got up and looked in the direction Fei Qingluo knew, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Not bad, this Wanmeng City is quite formidable."

What comes into view is a vast expanse of cities stretching across the plains, divided into several large districts.

Although it is not as magnificent as the Azure Dragon Imperial Capital, and does not have many wonders.

But the sheer size of the city is truly astonishing.

The urban area of ​​Wanmeng City is at least half again as large as that of Canglong Imperial Capital!

At the very center of the entire Wanmeng City lies a huge, open platform, the location for the battle for the Alliance Leader!

At this moment, Hong Xian'er also got up and took a look, and nodded in approval.

"As expected of the place where all alliances converge, it is indeed incredibly prosperous..."

Perhaps because the battle for the leader of the alliance was about to take place, the entire Wanmeng City was in an unprecedentedly grand occasion!

In comparison, their Divine Martial City in the Eastern Continent is really not up to par.

But if you think about it, you'll realize that both the Azure Dragon Imperial Capital and this Myriad Alliance City are the centers of a continent.

The layout of Dongzhou is a tripartite balance, without a similar central city.

Even Shenwu City is merely a place for holding the True Inheritance Arena; the three holy lands have not intentionally developed this place.

"Let's go, I'll take you down there to experience it!"

Fei Qingluo took a sip of wine, turned to look at Ye Yun and the other person, and smiled.

Having said that, she descended, riding her magical artifact...

……

Wanmeng City and Canglong Imperial Capital do have something in common: both cities are protected by flight restrictions.

Except for a few high-ranking cultivators from the Northern Continent Alliance, no one else is allowed to fly over.

It wasn't until he actually entered Wanmeng City that Ye Yun truly felt the sheer size of the entire city.

The main roads in the city are even wider and more impressive than those in the Azure Dragon Imperial Capital.

On both sides of the street, there were cultivators setting up stalls and shops selling various cultivation items.

"Take a look! Various rare magical treasures are available for limited sale; last day!"

"The boss ran away with his Daoist partner, so all the first-grade pills are being sold off cheaply!"

"All you immortals, come and take a look! These are all ancient artifacts, selling at a bargain price!"

"..."

The streets were filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Ye Yun and his two companions walked through the crowd, with Hong Xian'er already wearing a bamboo hat to conceal her appearance and aura.

At this moment, they were observing the pedestrians on the street.

Right now, the entire street is teeming with people, and cultivators make up the majority of them.

However, most of them have relatively low cultivation levels, with 80% or 90% being below the Core Formation stage.

Cultivators at the Core Formation stage and those at the Yuanling stage are becoming increasingly rare in this city.

As for cultivators in the Life and Death Realm and the Transcendent Realm, there are only a very few of them, and they are still extremely powerful beings.

"It seems there aren't many high-level cultivators in this city."

Ye Yun looked around and was somewhat surprised.

In response, Hong Xian'er rolled her eyes at him.

"What do you think? Most cultivators in this world are already doing very well if they can reach the Innate Realm."

"Among them, those who can break through to the Core Formation stage are considered experts in many places, and there aren't that many anywhere."

Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully.

"I see, then I misunderstood."

In his memory, this was a place where crowds gathered.

Shouldn't it be that those who have transformed into primordial spirits are worse than dogs, while those who have transcended life and death are everywhere?

But in reality, they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!

Fei Qingluo, standing to the side, chuckled and teased.

"Kid, don't you think about it? High-level cultivators are rare to begin with, so why would you just happen to see one on the street?"

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then asked curiously.

"So, where are all those high-level cultivators?"

Fei Qinglu pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Right now, I reckon the high-level cultivators from outside are either resting in the inn."

"Or in certain specific situations, such as large trading companies, various associations, or large clans."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun suddenly realized what was going on.

"I understand, senior means that high-level cultivators all have their own circles, right?"

"That's right."

Fei Qinglu nodded and chuckled softly.

"Let's go, let's find an inn to serve as a temporary gathering place."

Before long, Fei Qingluo led Ye Yun and the others to a rather luxurious inn in the city.

Originally, Fei Qingluo's idea was to take them to the best inn in the city.

Unfortunately, at this time of day, cultivators from all over the Northern Continent and even the entire continent have gathered here, and there are no vacant rooms available.

So we settled for a guesthouse in a decent location and environment.

As soon as I entered, a receptionist greeted me with a smile.

"Gentlemen, would you like to stay at the inn?"

Fei Qinglu nodded and tossed a bag of Xuanjing (mysterious crystals) out.

"Get us the best suite; we'll stay for half a month. The rest is your tip."

The heavy bag of mystic crystals almost made the receptionist drop it.

As a result, thanks to Fei Qingluo's financial power, they were respectfully invited into the best suite in the inn.

The people who received them were extremely hospitable.

"Seniors, please let me know if you need anything. I'll be waiting downstairs every day!"

Fei Qinglu nodded and said calmly.

"Alright, you can go now."

"Yes, yes, the three of you should get some rest!"

The receptionist bowed respectfully and quickly withdrew.

As he left, Ye Yun and the other two went inside and closed the door.

Just as the reception staff were registering the collected Xuanjing (mystic crystals), a cold voice came from beside them.

"Waiter, bring me your best room!"

The receptionist paused for a moment, then turned to look.

The first thing that came into view was a female cultivator with a cool and aloof demeanor, accompanied by several black-robed cultivators.

These individuals possessed remarkable bearing, and their cultivation levels were clearly extraordinary!

At this point, the receptionist quickly explained.

"I'm so sorry, our suite has just been occupied."

The black-robed cultivator behind him frowned.

"Not here either? Your Highness Wuxian, should I ask them to vacate the room?"

They searched several inns, but none of them had a top-class suite, which they felt was somewhat unworthy of their status.

Upon hearing this, the aloof female cultivator waved her hand and said calmly.

"No need. This is not the Eastern Continent. It's best to keep a low profile."

Then she said to the receptionist beside her.

"Are there any other rooms available, even if they're a little less desirable?"

Yes, yes, yes!

The receptionist nodded repeatedly and explained.

"There's one more floor suite left, would you like to see..."

Upon hearing this, Wuxian nodded slightly.

"Okay, this one will do."

Since even she said that, the people behind her naturally had nothing to say.

Before long, the group of people were received by the reception staff and checked into the prefecture-level suite...

……

Meanwhile, in the Sky Suite.

Ye Yun and the other two were quite satisfied with the spacious room in front of them.

The suite has three rooms, which is enough for them even if they sleep separately.

"For the next two weeks, this will be our meeting point."

Fei Qinglu looked at Ye Yun and the other person and gave them instructions with a smile.

"From now on, I will separate from you. If there is any emergency, you can contact me through a short-range communication talisman."

"If it's nothing serious, there's no need to contact me. Just enjoy your time together."

She seemed quite interested in Ye Yun's date with Hong Xian'er.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Alright, thank you very much, Senior Fei."

Fei Qinglu smiled and waved her hand.

"Alright, I should go find some fun for myself now. Goodbye!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of green light and flew out of the suite's window.

As for Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er, they exchanged a glance.

Ye Yun jokingly remarked.

"Xian'er, shall we... go find some fun?"

"Mmm..."
