Chapter 2706 Reappearance
The Crimson Moon Martial God really wanted to continue smearing Qin Ming—the two had been enemies for too long, and this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.
But in the end, his more than five thousand years of life experience led him to abandon this futile choice.
The next moment, his previously weak aura suddenly became exceptionally powerful. "Which cultivation world do you come from?"
"You are not worthy to ask," Xiao You transmitted her divine sense, "Now I'll give you two choices..."
"Should you come here yourself, or experience the erosion of time?"
"Be careful, esteemed guest, this man is extremely cunning," Qin Ming added promptly. "He was just pretending to be weak; why don't you set an example for him first!"
He had already put aside his worries about colluding with a powerful enemy from beyond the realm, and couldn't help but want this old ghost to taste the saltiness first!
Hongyue had no intention of arguing with him anymore. She sighed inwardly, thinking, "This is indeed the divine sense of a cultivator!"
He lived long enough and inherited a deep knowledge of the cultivation world, so he knew more about it than others.
Since that's the case, let's get straight to the point—we can deal with the other party's arrogance later!
"So you really are a cultivator. That's a bit offensive, but there are demons beyond the realm, so we have to be careful!"
“You seem to know quite a lot,” Xiaoyou replied slowly. “The upper limit for a Heavenly Demon is only the Nascent Soul stage… So you want me to invite you over?”
"Please be patient, guest," Hongyue said, surprisingly remaining calm.
He did not address the other party as an honored guest, and made sure to assert that he was the master of this world.
However, he did have a reason to be confident: "Do you know whose roots this world has?"
Don't try to threaten me; we have powerful backers too!
"The one you went against?" Xiaoyou chuckled. "I came to ask you about that!"
Given her style of doing things, the fact that she said that extra sentence was purely out of respect for the Haoran Sect; otherwise, she would have taken action immediately.
Hongyue remained silent upon hearing this, but a fifth aura of a martial god appeared.
This aura... it feels like it belongs to an old woman. "Hmm, I'd also like to hear about this."
"You finally couldn't resist," Qin Ming sneered, "Aren't you going to wait and reap the benefits?"
"I came up from the lower realm through a broken void," the old woman said calmly. "What business is it of mine if you martial artists from the upper realm are fighting like dogs?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but touch his forehead again—are all martial arts practitioners in this world this irritable?
However, this old woman was quite interesting; she actually wanted to inquire about some forbidden information.
Just as he was sighing, Hongyue finally spoke again, her voice trembling slightly, "You... came all this way specifically to find me?"
"Are you never going to stop?" Xiaoyou said impatiently. "Looks like I really need to teach him a lesson!"
"I'll handle it," Qu Jianlei snorted lightly. "Don't get involved in the karma of this sect."
Even disregarding the Great Sovereign's avatars, with the Six True Venerables all present, how dare this mere Middle Thousand Worlds ramble on like this?
If we don't impose some minor punishment, everyone will think the cultivation world is easy to bully!
The next moment, a profound, distant, ruthless, swirling, folded, and chaotic aura silently bloomed in the air.
"Honored guest, please wait!" The Crimson Moon Martial God finally lost her tough stance. "Coming!"
Although he is very old, he still has some abilities that far surpass Qin Ming's—for example, his martial arts intuition!
When the other party said "It's never going to end," he was instantly terrified, feeling an immense threat looming over him!
In the darkness, he sensed a power of life and death at his disposal, and he was utterly powerless to resist!
However, he spoke too late; immediately afterward, he felt his life force rapidly slipping away...
It should be noted that he had already instructed his men to activate a witch array beforehand, which could defend against multiple types of damage.
Moreover, the protection of the witch array was activated to the maximum, and countless rare offerings were brought up as if they were free!
Because he knew very well that today's situation was extremely troublesome.
Even so, it was still no match for the opponent's attack from the river of time!
Therefore, the power of cultivators is not unfounded; it's just that the martial artists in this world are unaware of it...
He was sinking into deep despair when he suddenly realized that life had stopped slipping away!
The next moment, a cold divine sense came, "A slight punishment, there will be no next time."
Beside Qu Jianlei, Qin Mingwu looked at him in astonishment, "Two...two...two time travelers?"
Isn't it said that such beings are extremely rare even in the world of cultivation?
This world... really is something else. It's one thing to belittle cultivators, but is it necessary to belittle them so severely?
Qu Jianlei glanced at him and said calmly, "I've already said, it's just supernatural power!"
Showing off is certainly fun, but in another world, he represents the cultivators.
It's best to establish a standard image, neither underestimating oneself nor pretending to be competent!
The next moment, a figure flashed, and an old man with a red beard appeared in front of Qu Jianlei.
"Greetings, distinguished guest," Hongyue first raised her hand in a gesture of respect, then shook her head.
He arrived in such a hurry that he hadn't even had time to shake off the discomfort that comes with the passage of time.
However, we really dared not delay, because if we were any slower... people would die!
After calming himself down, he glared fiercely at Qin Ming, who was not far away, and said, "You, well done!"
"Tch," Qin Ming smiled slightly and said dismissively, "Let's deal with the questions from our distinguished guest first."
To reiterate, he had no intention of being a traitor to this world, but the Haoran Sect... were they outsiders?
Previously, he only knew that Wu Xiu had defied that sect, but after listening to Hong Yue's explanation just now... it seems that it's not that simple?
Upon hearing this, Hongyue didn't dare to argue with him any further. Instead, she looked at Qu Jianlei and said, "I'm a little dizzy, please forgive me, esteemed guest."
"It doesn't matter," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, not intending to underestimate his opponent who had just been ravaged by the power of time.
He had experienced that feeling of helplessness not long ago, and it wasn't as severe then. Even so, it took him a long time to recover.
"I'm giving you sixty breaths to adjust. I hope you'll be sensible!"
After catching her breath for about fifty minutes, Hongyue, though still feeling somewhat unwell, took the initiative to speak, "Please speak, Immortal!"
From demon to guest, and from honored guest to immortal... No wonder he has lived for more than five thousand years.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment before asking, "Is it appropriate to discuss matters of this sect here?"
“Then let’s go beyond the boundary,” Red Moon said without hesitation. “Defining it here… there’s bound to be some karmic connection!”
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei looked at him in surprise, "Martial arts practitioners also talk about cause and effect?"
"That's what the cultivation world says," Hongyue said without hiding anything, "Martial arts practitioners only care about forging ahead without fear of cause and effect!"
"You know quite a lot..." Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "Ask who else wants to leave the boundary."
Since things have already escalated to this point, let's face it head-on. Besides, what Hongyue knows may not be everything.
When Qin Ming asked, it turned out that four out of the five martial gods wanted to go out and listen.
Only one martial god in his prime has declared that he will stay and guard his own world.
People are wary of tigers, and tigers are also wary of people—although a martial god probably can't protect this world, something is better than nothing.
This also shows that these martial arts practices are not lacking in rules and regulations.
Jin Ge and the other two followed the crowd to the outer boundary.
Qu Jianlei didn't say much and directly led the five martial gods to the spider phantom.
He pointed to the large rock and said, "To punish without teaching is cruelty; this is the previous unfriendly Middle Thousand World!"
In fact, during the journey, Qin Ming had already had a secret exchange with the other four Martial Gods.
Different systems have their own secret techniques for communication, but Qin Ming is not afraid of being overheard by cultivators.
He was simply sharing what he knew to prevent other martial arts practitioners from misjudging the situation.
A little concealment is merely the last vestige of dignity for martial arts practitioners—it must be admitted that most martial artists are hot-blooded and care a lot about their reputation.
During this process, Qin Ming's biggest rival, the Martial God who was engaged in fierce combat, declared: There's no need to fight anymore, I'll back down!
As for the three disciples who betrayed him, he also said, "I can't hand them over; I have my pride too."
However, he will be less protective of the three. Whether he can punish them depends on the strength of Qin Mingwu.
Who says martial arts practitioners are all straightforward? Those who can't learn social skills can't even survive in the martial arts world, how could they live for thousands of years?
That's why the Martial Gods weren't too surprised when they saw the spider phantom—well, this one is above the Martial God level!
As for the unfriendly Middle Thousand Worlds... such an outcome left many martial gods speechless.
No one would think that this was a cultivator playing a prank out of boredom; they simply didn't need to do it, right?
Hongyue hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Immortal, is this practice... also a tradition of the Haoran Sect?"
He had already automatically filled in the blanks in his mind and assumed that the True Venerable with the spider on his shoulder was a disciple of the Haoran Sect.
"I don't know if it is or not," Qu Jianlei said, not intending to impersonate a disciple of Haoran.
"I only have some karmic connection with them, but you... what makes you say that?"
“The Haoran Sect, like martial arts practitioners, also values righteous indignation and revenge,” Hongyue replied in a deep voice. “I think they will just blow them up.”
“Oh,” Qu Jianlei nodded, not very surprised. It’s just a matter of either/or, isn’t it?
In fact, it is quite normal for the Haoran Sect to dare to claim itself as righteous and upright and not tolerate petty people.
Unfortunately, he was poor and had to value the resources of the Middle Thousand Worlds, but that might not be the case for some powerful and arrogant figures.
"Tell me about your world and its connection with the Haoran Sect."
"Is it just some cause and effect?" A strange light flashed in Hongyue's eyes. "Then I'm not really at liberty to talk about these entanglements."
“I must say it,” Qu Jianlei said without hesitation, “otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
He traveled all this way, was it easy? And he was genuinely curious about the karmic connection between himself and this sect.
“There’s no need,” the Crimson Moon Martial God said, surprisingly assertive despite being in the void.
But the next moment, he revealed the truth: "From a certain perspective, our world can be said to have defied the sect."
"But in essence, it's not a betrayal... The immortal also knows that the sect let us go."
"So if you want to know the details, you'll have to pay a price!"
