Chapter 2737 The Right Path Has Been Taken
Currently, Luo Fu and Song Yue'er have a good relationship, but they maintain a proper distance, not quite to the point of being best friends.
She could sense that the guy, who she wasn't sure could be considered her senior, was distant from her, but unconditionally supportive.
Once someone's cultivation reaches the True Venerable level, they are definitely a person with their own opinions, and her choice is anything but ordinary in its firmness.
"Well then..." Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow. "Let's try to keep a low profile."
There's nothing I can do; my teammates have gotten a bit too arrogant lately, almost like overconfident and reckless generals.
It's good to have courage, but you should still restrain yourself, after all, you're in someone else's house.
Now that we've decided to pay a visit, we need to start inquiring about the Great Khan's situation.
There are twelve True Venerables in the Daizhu section, but they are scattered. Compared to them, the seven True Venerables are quite conspicuous.
In the past, people were too lazy to pay attention to them, but as soon as they started inquiring about the Great Khan, their level of attention instantly soared to its peak.
However, their attitude was also very clear: they wanted to do something in Daiju and hoped to report it to the Grand Prince.
Of course, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is qualified to meet the True Lord, and this is also true in the Bell Spirit Realm.
The great king did not react at all to their attempts to gather information.
The locals dared not mention the Great King's name; instead, some would ask: What business do you have?
This question is not difficult to answer—this is something that needs to be reported to the Grand Prince. So, where do you place yourself?
However, the king remained calm and did not react at all.
It wasn't until the fifth day that a faint divine sense swept over his head, but it left no word.
That afternoon, a True Venerable named Wusheng came looking for him.
This one has just returned from the outside world; he is not one of the original twelve True Venerables.
Wusheng Zhenzun stated that he was a disciple of the Great King, and that the Great King was aware of their origins.
He was representing the Great King's wishes, asking the other party the purpose of their visit and what they wanted to report.
Why the Great Lord didn't show himself is self-evident, but there's no doubt that he knew of the existence of True Lord Kan Shui.
Now that a True Venerable has arrived to understand the situation, it can only be said that the aura of the Bell Spirit Realm is truly quite powerful.
Qu Jianlei was the one who stepped forward to answer—because this was his cause and effect.
He stated frankly that he had been plotted against by a certain king, but fortunately, an elder stepped in and killed him.
That great ruler still had some loose ends left in the Daizhu area, so he came to settle the karmic debts.
This time he didn't say anything about "rebelling against the Great Ruler," because that might be considered provocative—he was reporting to the True Ruler as well.
As for the rest, let's just say it directly. The True Venerable at the entrance of the boundary passage already knows, so there's no point in hiding it.
"Great Lord's cause and effect..." Wusheng Zhenzun's expression became slightly more solemn.
Before he arrived, he knew that this was no small matter—how could it be a small matter when outsiders came directly to the Grand Prince to report?
When Zhenjun sent him, he also said that the other party had an extraordinary background and that he should be careful.
This instruction seems a bit redundant. How could someone who dares to directly request an audience with the Great Khan be of questionable character?
However, Wusheng Zhenzun knew very well that the Great Lord disliked nonsense, and the Zhongling Realm Zhenzun's vision was exceptionally high.
Since they specifically gave this instruction, it means the other party must be someone of great importance.
However, even though he was mentally prepared, what the other person said still surprised him somewhat.
Is a great king simply wiped out like this?
Fortunately, he had prepared himself mentally beforehand, so he didn't lose his composure too much.
He hesitated for a moment before asking again, "Who is involved?"
Qu Jianlei stated that no prior notification had been made, so no specific individuals had been selected, but the positions had already been determined.
When Wusheng Zhenzun heard that it was actually the peninsula where the battle was raging, a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes.
The True Venerable Qisi has occupied the peninsula for over a thousand years, and as for his origins... he is quite clear about them.
He had some doubts. Could this be reinforcements that guy had brought in, intending to wipe out Zijing Zhenzun in one fell swoop?
Theoretically speaking, it's unlikely. If the True Venerable dares to make a move on the plate, even a slightly large one would inevitably attract the True Lord.
And even if they were to call for reinforcements, it wouldn't be necessary to summon seven True Venerables at once, as if they intended to annihilate the entire sea race, would it?
However, Wusheng Zhenzun simply couldn't help but think this way.
Before the True Venerable Qisi took over the spiritual veins of the peninsula, there was already an owner there, and the previous owner's lineage was even clearer.
There is absolutely no way he could have any connection with any prince.
He hesitated for a moment before asking, "May I ask what the name of that fallen Great King was?"
One cannot address the Great Khan by his name directly, but for the dead... well, that doesn't matter.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and then asked, "I wonder if this question comes from you, Fellow Daoist, or from the Great Lord?"
If it's the Great Khan's intention, meaning he's deliberately inquiring about this cause and effect, and it was the other party's idea... are you sure you want to ask?
Wusheng Zhenzun had been working under Zhenjun for many years, and had only been away from home recently, so he naturally understood the meaning of these words.
“I am here on behalf of the Great Lord,” he said carefully, “and we must get to the bottom of this. Is it inconvenient for you to say, fellow Daoist?”
—That's what I mean. If there's a cause and effect, then it's mine.
There's no way around it; that's how it is when you're working for a powerful person. You can't just use any excuse, but at the same time, you have to be prepared to take the blame.
As expected, his words elicited no reaction from his own king.
"It's really inconvenient to say," Qu Jianlei answered frankly.
“That makes me curious,” True Venerable Wusheng didn’t press the matter, but instead asked, “Then how should one address one’s elders?”
“I’m sorry,” Qu Jianlei spread his hands, “it’s still inconvenient to say. If it’s the Great Khan’s wish, of course I wouldn’t dare not say it.”
"Tsk," Wusheng Zhenzun was truly in a dilemma.
He pondered for a while, but when he found that the Great Lord still did not respond, he could only ask again, "Fellow Daoist, are you from outside the Zhongling Realm?"
"Yes," Qu Jianlei did not deny it this time, "I came in a hurry and did not receive an invitation from Zhong Ling."
To be frank, we forced our way in. If you still have any questions, you can ask the gatekeeper!
There are some things he shouldn't say, but if they come from someone else, then it's none of his business.
“That’s how it came about…” Wusheng Zhenzun understood, and nodded again, but fell silent.
A few breaths later, the Great King's thoughts finally appeared in his mind: "Tell them to keep quiet and not to linger after they've finished their business!"
Is it really that troublesome? Venerable Wusheng composed himself.
Our own king has a temper that isn't so good; he doesn't tolerate others being presumptuous.
This time, a mere few True Venerables came to Daizhu's door, and they were from outside the area, wanting to do something for her, and she actually agreed to it so easily...
After calming himself down, he slowly spoke, "Then I won't ask anymore. I hope you can handle things quickly and quietly."
Qu Jianlei hadn't expected the other party to be so easy to talk to.
It seems that the strategy of "courtesy first, then force" was correct; we need to go through the proper procedures first and gain the moral high ground.
He smiled slightly, "Then thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. We will have something to offer you before you leave."
You can't go to someone else's house and cause trouble for nothing, can you? Just because the other party agrees doesn't mean they should feel entitled to do things their way.
Even when Kan Shui faced Tao Zhenzun, he didn't forget to offer a consultation fee.
“Hehe,” Wusheng Zhenzun chuckled dryly, offering no response and his attitude was far from enthusiastic.
In a different scenario, if a True Venerable from beyond the realm dared to promise him any benefits, he would most likely refuse!
What good things doesn't the Bell Spirit Realm have? Why would it need your little bit?
But today's situation is a bit strange, and he really can't refuse on his own, so he can only show his sense of superiority through his expression.
Qu Jianlei didn't care; after all, his motto was "it's never wrong to be polite!"
However, True Venerable Han Wei cautiously spoke up, "Boss, how about... inviting Fellow Daoist Wusheng to go together?"
His primary task is to protect Xiaoyou's safety; everything else must take a backseat to this!
What good things are in Lord Yugi's secret treasury is a secondary matter.
That's why he directly impersonated the boss and offered his own suggestions—even if it meant allowing the other party to have a share, it wouldn't matter, right?
Qu Jianlei immediately realized what he meant and thought to himself, "That makes sense... When you're out in the world, face is given by others, but it's something you lose yourself."
So he looked across at the other side and said, "Fellow Daoist Wusheng, is this... a convenient time?"
This person really knows how to conduct himself! Wusheng Zhenzun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He had somewhat considered that the other party's settlement of the Great King's karma might not simply be about eliminating the root of the problem.
That descendant of the great king might still possess considerable wealth!
However, one cannot judge things solely by their interests; the cause and effect involved on the other party is clearly far more complex than it appears.
Since even their own lord has no interest in learning more about the cause and effect of this matter, why should he take the initiative to get involved?
So he just smiled and said, "The battle is raging over there. If I were to follow you there rashly, it would easily cause misunderstandings."
He stated that he did not explicitly refuse to share the treasure, but rather had other considerations.
Such an answer is both offensive and defensive... Alas, who knows that being a servant under the Great King is not an easy job!
“Alright then, we’ll take our leave,” Qu Jianlei stood up.
This means that Daizhu has officially approved the process. Although it was a bit troublesome, no one could find fault with the whole procedure.
Without further ado, the group arrived at the peninsula.
Qu Jianlei released his divine sense, "I have long admired the name of the True Venerable Qisi. I have taken the liberty of visiting you and have something to ask of you. Please forgive me."
Not to mention Qi Si, even the Purple Pure True Venerable had long noticed this external force.
They were locked in a fierce battle when such an obvious anomaly appeared on the charts. How could they not pay attention?
After observing each other for a moment, they realized that this group of people actually wanted to discuss something with the Great Khan.
Since the target is not the peninsula, neither side has stepped forward to win them over; otherwise, they would have had to give it a try.
However, the related precautions cannot be completely eliminated—this force is indeed quite strong.
"There's no need to bother you further," a divine sense arose, "but what instructions do you have, Fellow Daoist Wusheng?"
“It’s none of my business,” the aura of Venerable Wusheng emanated from a great distance, “It’s these fellow Daoists from beyond the realm who are looking for you.”
