Lady Cultivator

Hearing the sound and feeling the other party's surging demonic energy, Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang stopped in surprise, turned to look at the door.

The person who called them was a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the alchemy process. He was in his thirties, with short black hair and beard, and a hooked nose, which made him look shrewd and gloomy.

"Is this fellow Taoist calling us?" Mo Tiange asked when he saw this man's eyes on her and Nie Wushang.

The man looked at the two of them carefully and then said, "That's right. These two fellow Taoists, whose surname is Liang, are the elders in charge of ceremonies in Xingluo City."

Hearing this, Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang bowed together: "It turns out to be Elder Liang."

Elder Liang saw that the two of them were calm and neither humble nor arrogant, so he knew that they were both knowledgeable people. He smiled and said politely, "You two fellow Taoists, you are welcome. I don't know how to call them?"

Mo Tiange held back his laughter. To be honest, this Elder Liang didn't care if he didn't smile. He just looked gloomier. When he smiled, he immediately made people feel that he had bad intentions.

"I'm Qin Wei." Although she smiled secretly in her heart, she still maintained impeccable politeness on her face.

Nie Wushang just cupped his hands and said calmly: "Tiancan."

"Oh, it turns out it's Fellow Daoist Qin and Fellow Daoist Tiancan." Elder Liang said and got straight to the point, "I wonder what the hell do you two do when you come to our Xingluo City?"

Mo Tiange glanced at Nie Wushang. Nie Wushang was not interested in dealing with people, so he raised his chin and motioned for Mo Tiange to answer.

Mo Tiange said: "We are just passing by here and taking a stroll."

"Oh? So that's it." Elder Liang's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, as if he was weighing whether her words were true or false. The next moment, there was still a smile on his face: "The two Taoist friends have outstanding cultivation. It is really rare to come to our Xingluo City. I wonder if I have the honor to invite these two Taoist friends to the city lord's mansion as a guest?"

Hearing this, Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang looked at each other in surprise. They are all people who often travel outside and are well-informed, but this is the first time they have encountered this situation. Monks rarely have warm attitudes among themselves unless they also have the desire to make friends. Now that they had just arrived in Xingluo, Elder Liang unexpectedly came over to invite them. Was it an accidental encounter, or did he have some purpose?

Thinking like this, Mo Tiange simply asked bluntly: "May I ask Elder Liang, what is going on? If we just want to get along with each other, how about waiting for me and fellow Taoist Tiancan to settle down before going to the city lord's mansion?"

“That’s not necessary.

"Elder Liang's eyes flashed and he looked around. As soon as he arrived, the waiter had already stood aside. Now the guys in the inn just watched from a distance and did not dare to come forward.

He said: "To be honest with you two, this matter is an order issued by the city lord. In the near future, all monks above the pill formation level who appear in my star will be invited to the city lord's mansion."

Mo Tiange was stunned. Seeing Elder Liang's face full of solemnity, although he did not mean to force him, he was firm in attitude. She then said: "Elder Liang, please forgive me. We are all pill-forming monks. If we don't understand the reason, it will be inconvenient." Let’s go with Elder Liang.”

What she said was very clear. Is it so easy for the Danjie monks to use force to suppress them? The city lord of Xingluo City is just a demon cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul. Although they are not as good as them, they are not at the point where they can be slaughtered by others. If this elder Liang explains properly, they are in Xingluo City and must give the city lord some face. But if they don't say anything and just use force to invite him, then they will not just tie their hands.

Elder Liang was obviously used to it, and there was no embarrassment on his face. He smiled and said: "You two fellow Taoists don't need to be nervous. It's just that the city lord has something to ask you. As for what it is, I can't tell you here. If the two fellow Taoists don't If you mind, let’s talk while we walk.”

Elder Liang's attitude was too calm, and he didn't really seem to have any conspiracy. Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang looked at each other, and Nie Wushang said through the voice: "It doesn't hurt to go and have a look."

Mo Tiange thought about it for a moment, nodded slowly, raised his head and said to Elder Liang, "In that case, let's go with Elder Liang."

Hearing this, Elder Liang smiled and said politely: "Thank you two fellow Taoists for your cooperation. Please come with me." With that, Elder Liang left the inn.

Mo Tiange looked at his back and waved to the waiter who originally entertained them: "Is this really your elder in charge? Have any other alchemy monks been invited to the city lord's mansion recently?"

The guy hesitated for a moment and then replied respectfully: "Senior, this kind of thing is not something that ordinary monks like us living in Xingluo City can know. Moreover, Senior Jiedan rarely appears in the world. Our inn has hosted people recently. There are two senior Jiedan. However, this is indeed the ceremonial elder of our Xingluo City, this is true."

As soon as he finished speaking, the foundation-building monk dressed as a shopkeeper said: "Two seniors, the younger ones know a little about this matter. Just yesterday, a senior Danjie was invited to the city lord's mansion at the teahouse."

"Oh, thank you very much." Mo Tiange said to them, turned around and went out, and Nie Wushang followed.

"Fellow Daoist Nie," Mo Tiange said via voice, "use your spiritual consciousness to sense whether there are no alchemy monks in the city?"

After a while, Nie Wushang replied: "Yes, apart from you, me and Elder Liang, there is only one Danjie monk active in the east of the city."

Mo Tiange nodded to express understanding. The city lord of Xingluo City is a monk in the early stage of Yuanying. Logically speaking, there should not be so few alchemy monks in Xingluo City. It seems that Elder Liang was right. All the alchemy monks were invited to the city lord's mansion. There are Restricted, they can't detect it.

When the two walked out of the inn, Elder Liang was waiting not far away. When he saw them coming out, he greeted them with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, please."

Mo Tiange smiled and nodded, and Nie Wushang followed Elder Liang.

With Elder Liang leading the way, the surrounding low-level monks stepped out of their way to give the three of them quite a lot of space.

"Elder Liang," Nie Wushang raised his bamboo hat and said, "What is the purpose of the city lord's invitation? Can you tell me?"

Elder Liang casually cast a sound barrier and said, "The two fellow Taoists came to my Xingluo City for no important business, right?"

Both Mo Tiange and Mo Tiange had already answered this question. However, given the situation at that time, it was very likely that they were talking casually. Elder Liang asked again carefully.

Mo Tiange said: "Yes, this Taoist fellow Tiancan and I just passed by here and decided to take a look around and see something."

Elder Liang nodded with a smile: "That's good." He paused and said, "To be honest with you two, the city lord has invited all the alchemy fellows who appeared in our Xingluo City to the city lord's mansion since two months ago. It’s just to do something.”

"Oh?" Not to mention the size of Yixingluo City, two months should be enough to hire a dozen alchemy monks, right? In addition to the number of pill-forming monks in this city, there are estimated to be twenty or thirty. What needs so many pill-forming monks?

"What exactly this matter is about, without the permission of the city lord, I cannot disclose it in advance, but this is roughly what happened. Of course, you two fellow Taoists don't have to worry. The city lord will pay you for your services."

"Elder Liang," after he finished speaking, Nie Wushang suddenly said coldly, "Can we not refuse this matter?"

Elder Liang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Nie Wushang cautiously before saying, "I don't know about this. I am only responsible for inviting the Danjie Taoist friends who appeared in Xingluo City to the city lord's palace. The city lord will decide the matter for you." Explanation. However, to this day, no one has refused."

Mo Tiange raised his eyebrows but said nothing. This thing is a bit unusual. In two months, all the alchemy monks who appeared in Xingluo City were invited, and no one refused? You know, most of those pill-forming monks who appeared in the human world had something to do, and there were very few of them like her and Nie Wushang who were just wandering around. Those people had something to do, so why didn't they refuse? Is it just because the person who asked them to do something is a Nascent Soul monk?

Offending a Nascent Soul monk is indeed something that all Alchemy monks must avoid, but how many of the Alchemy monks have extraordinary status and strong backgrounds? The power of Xingluo City is only so-so in the Demonic Domain of Beilin Kingdom. They can't force themselves just to avoid offending a Xingluo City Lord, right?

From this point of view, either the reward was so amazing that the pill-forming monks could not refuse it, or the Xingluo City Lord was playing tricks and they could not refuse it. Who is it?

Mo Tiange looked at Nie Wushang, who was also looking at her.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, what do you think?" Nie Wushang whispered in a secret voice.

If it's the former, that's fine. If it's the latter, it's not a good choice for them to rush to the City Lord's Mansion. Once you enter someone else's territory, you let others make the decision.

But if you don't go, it's not an option. Although Elder Liang's attitude is not bad, he is very determined. They are already in Xingluo City. If they don't go now, it will be a trouble for them if the city lord takes action personally.

Mo Tiange thought for a while and then said, "Elder Liang, what if I don't want to see the city lord? What should you do?"

Elder Liang smiled when he heard this: "This is not the first time I have answered this question. Fellow Daoist Qin, several fellow Daoist Jiedan have also said that if something happened and it was inconvenient to go, I really couldn't persuade you, so the city lord personally took action Yes, and later those fellow Taoists all agreed."

Elder Liang only said a few words, but Mo Tiange heard a lot from them. Those pill-forming monks were very likely to have a strong attitude that they would not go to the city lord's mansion, and they might even force them to leave. And the "persuasion" that Elder Liang mentioned was most likely to be forcibly invited by force. If If you can't beat him, report it to the city lord. As for whether the city lord of Xingluo City took action in person, whether he used force or profit to get others to agree, it is not known.

This made Mo Tiange even more unsure. Should I go or not? If you don't go, you'll probably have to fight, and you'll probably have to face the Nascent Soul cultivator. If you go, there's no telling what will happen.

"Friend Mo, let's go take a look." Hearing the voice, Mo Tiange turned to look. Nie Wushang winked at her and said through the voice, "You know my concealment methods. I think , you also have a secret way to escape, right?") Book friends, please pay attention!
