"Young master, the people here are all very competitive."
Lu Xueqi observed that her strength had quietly improved significantly, making her absolutely top-notch among the sect's disciples. Even some elders might not be as powerful as her.
Standing on this street, she felt like an ordinary person.
There are experts everywhere.
“Or is there some kind of grand event?” Jiang Nan said. “There are many cultivators from all walks of life, including many talented young people of all ages. They often organize such events to exchange ideas, discuss the Dao, and so on.”
"Meet heroes from all over the world, make friends, and improve your spiritual practice."
“Normally, you wouldn’t see so many cultivators in a normal city.”
"In the end, there are still more ordinary people."
“In the world of cultivation, the places where ordinary people live are also the least secure,” Jiang Nan said.
"Shall we go and take a look?" Jiang Nan smiled. "At least there'll be a free banquet, and it won't be a low-class affair."
Lu Xueqi smiled and said, "Then let's go eat. Hmm, it's good to experience the mortal world."
Chapter 145 I, the Southern Heavenly Emperor
"Welcome, both of you." Someone in front of us did a quick screening to confirm that you were young and promising talents before letting you in.
"May I ask where you two are from...?"
"Qingyun Sect, Di Tiannan, this is my junior sister." Jiang Nan smiled.
"Please come in." Although the person had never heard of Qingyun Sect, the world is vast and boundless, and there are many sects. It's normal not to have heard of it unless it's a sacred place.
Judging from their distinguished bearing, they were qualified to enter.
“Di Tiannan?” Lu Xueqi walked beside her.
"Read it backwards," Jiangnan said with a smile.
"The Southern Heavenly Emperor?" Lu Xueqi's pretty face was quite a sight.
"Isn't that impressive?" Jiang Nan said.
"Yes." Lu Xueqi nodded. In her opinion, the young master was indeed that amazing.
"The banquet is nice, but come on, there's no one over there," Jiang Nan said with a smile.
Lu Xueqi looked on with curiosity, thinking, "They're really here to eat at the banquet!"
But it looks delicious, and it's even helpful for cultivation.
While eating, they could also watch the sparring matches taking place in the open space in front of them.
Some people chatted amicably, drinking and laughing in small groups, while others, on a whim, would go up on stage to try their hand at something.
Most of them were friendly exchanges, with only a very few showing no mercy or having prior grudges.
Those watching around cheered.
This is what a grand exchange event looks like.
Let's have a drink, discuss philosophy, chat casually, and talk about the news from around the world.
"I heard that the demon race has discovered some ancient ruins, and many experts from holy lands have gone there."
"And the Holy Son and Holy Daughter also went," someone said.
"What ancient site? It must be some kind of conspiracy."
"The ancient race last time was really ruthless; they wanted to kill everyone inside and use them as nourishment."
“The experts of the Holy Land, the Holy Son, the Holy Daughter… they don’t care about them, they all want to wipe them out.”
"If it weren't for the fact that there were also supreme imperial weapons to confront each other, no one would have been able to escape."
"No, that's not true. Only those above the level of a sage can leave. I heard that Jiangnan left before him."
"How many are above the sages?"
"Speaking of Jiangnan, aren't those holy lands known for their relentless fights and various kill bounties? Have they made a move yet?"
"What's the point of taking action? Saints aren't so easy to block."
"On the contrary, their own team is much more low-key now. They're not so arrogant and reckless when they're out and about. They're afraid of being ambushed," the man said.
"Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose."
"It's not like they're barefoot; there's also the enchantress from Nanling, someone Jiangnan cares about."
"No matter what, it's not a good thing to be coveted by the Holy Land."
"You never know when we might be ambushed, and that could be a world-ending threat."
"These days, there are even stronger beings than saints in holy lands."
"This is none of our business, but we shouldn't just stand by and watch the fun next time."
"This isn't something we can decide. A sage can blockade a million miles at a time. I've heard that's just an ordinary sage. A powerful one could blockade a million miles at a time, or even ten million miles."
"The fact that it could affect us from such a distance means we probably don't even know what happened."
"This is the path of spiritual practice. If you are confident that you will reach this level in the future, you will have nothing to fear from them."
"Even ordinary cultivators below will look up to you."
"I'm still confused. What happened to the promising young talent?"
Lu Xueqi's beautiful eyes are full of spirit; the young master is a saint.
She didn't quite understand the concept of a sage.
But she heard about traveling eight million miles at a time.
"They're not invincible yet, but as for what kind of holy land they are, we don't need to pay them any attention," Jiang Nan said.
"This young lady looks unfamiliar. May I ask your name?" As they spoke, two burly men approached.
"Does this young lady practice swordsmanship? What a coincidence, my brother and I also practice swordsmanship. Let's have a drink together."
Lu Xueqi originally intended to politely refuse, but Jiang Nan was not so courteous.
"Get lost," Jiang Nan said.
"Kid, you looking for trouble, huh?"
"We just wanted to invite this young lady for a drink. We came here to exchange ideas, didn't we? What, you want to practice?" A burly man sneered.
I'm afraid you won't cause trouble.
Jiangnan was slapped away with one hand.
“You’re not worthy,” Jiang Nan said.
The commotion attracted the attention of many people nearby.
Many people immediately understood what was going on; it was simply because these two looked young and inexperienced.
That girl was even more ethereal and stunning.
Those men then had some ideas.
It turned out the other party was unyielding.
Those who still had ulterior motives all quieted down for a while.
“There are plenty of warmongers out there, no need to be polite to them,” Jiang Nan said. “Wherever you go, it’s all about strength. Without strength, being polite is useless.”
"Yes, they will naturally be polite."
"I understand," Lu Xueqi nodded.
“These guys are clearly up to no good, they have ulterior motives towards you, they’re asking for it,” Jiang Nan said.
“Since you’ve just arrived here, first observe their techniques, the level of their sparring, their power, and their artistic conception,” Jiang Nan said.
"Let's get familiar with it."
Come over for a meal and catch up on the latest world news.
After establishing his authority, no one bothered him anymore.
Or perhaps they come here to make genuine friends, not because they had ill intentions beforehand.
"The ancient site on the demon race's side this time is an ancient tomb."
"The grave of a former super-strong demon... there shouldn't be any traps there."
"It is rumored that the super strong person may be a quasi-emperor, not an emperor, and has already passed away."
"We plan to go and take a look later."
"Many powerful individuals must have passed through there as well."
"Yes."
"I hope there won't be another risk like last time when we were just watching the show."
"Normally not. There are too many people below, including various holy sites. Even those above the saint level should maintain a certain level of restraint."
