Chapter 345: Ajie's Opportunity?

"The good seedlings are too few, and they are all..." The female cultivator with Starbrow Swordeye sighed in exasperation.

The kneeling cultivators below her were so mediocre that even in the Fire Spirit Realm, they wouldn't qualify as menial disciples.

What infuriated her the most was that she had rejected a boy without a Spirit Root yesterday.

The boy had boldly declared, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't underestimate a young man's potential!"

It was fortunate that they were here, where surveillance cameras were abundant.

If this had happened in the Fire Spirit Realm, she would have slapped him to death without a second thought.

"I heard that the Battle Deity Sect has recently accepted a pure Spirit Root cultivator, which is truly enviable!" The female cultivator with Starbrow Swordeye mentioned this with a face full of admiration.

The Battle Deity Sect and the Profound Heaven Sect had been long-standing rivals.

This rivalry dated back to tens of thousands of years ago.

Back then, the Profound Heaven Sect dominated and suppressed the Battle Deity Sect.

But in the past few thousand years, well... the Profound Heaven Sect had declined.

"A pure Spirit Root cultivator, if they cultivate smoothly and have sufficient resources, may even have the chance to enter the Divine Infancy Realm!" The middle-aged man beside her sighed, his eyes filled with envy. "The strongest cultivator we've recruited is only an Earth Grade Spirit Root, but that child, Wang Zhiqi, is very hardworking, and his achievements may not be low."

Mentioning Wang Zhiqi brought a gentle expression to Xie Tang's face as well.

Among the Profound Heaven Sect, this child's talent was second only to their missing Sacred Maiden, Xie Xinsu.

"A few days ago, the Battle Deity Sect took over some of our recruitment sources.

Oh yes, they're also trying to take over Tianyu City, where Zhiqi is from!" The man mentioned, his face filled with indignation.

The more recruitment sources they had, the more outstanding cultivators they could produce.

The sources of recruits for their sects were either determined by the treaties signed with the Seven Martial Stars or the competitions between the various sects.

Well... in the last competition, the Profound Heaven Sect lost to the Battle Deity Sect.

So, the Battle Deity Sect took over one of the Profound Heaven Sect's recruitment sources.

However, the Battle Deity Sect was being too greedy.

The Profound Heaven Sect had lost the competition for Xinshan, but now they wanted to take over Tianyu City as well.

"If Senior Sister were still here, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!" Xie Tang said indignantly.

Senior Sister Xie Xinsu was the Profound Heaven Sect's first Core Formation cultivator.

Her combat power was astonishing, and her talent was exceptional.

But a year ago, Senior Sister suddenly went missing without a trace.

The sect leader, Crane Cloud, had even sought the founder for answers, but to no avail.

It could be said that Xie Xinsu's disappearance became the greatest mystery of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Some within the sect even suspected that the Battle Deity Sect might be involved.

"I can't let this go. I must go to Tianyu City. If they want to take over Tianyu, they'll have to ask for my permission.

Coincidentally, Zhiqi is returning home, and I'll accompany her!"

...

Tianyu City, Military Safety Neighborhood.

Ajie was basking in the sun, feeling incredibly content with life.

His sister was sitting behind him, lazily playing with her phone.

Compared to the life in Gui Ran, where stargazing was the only entertainment, life here was much better.

Most importantly, they no longer had to live in fear of being captured and having their organs harvested.

They owed this peaceful life to the adults.

Ajie held them in high regard.

"Little friend, what a coincidence to meet you again."

At that moment, an aged voice sounded.

An old man in a white robe appeared.

On his robe, there was an embroidered pine tree with golden edges, and on it was a peculiar demonic beast, making the old man seem rather extraordinary.

Ajie looked at the old man, his eyes revealing a hint of alertness, and he instinctively shielded his sister behind him.

Seeing this, the old man's face showed a helpless smile, "Little friend, you're very cautious of me."

"I'm Zhang Dayang, and I mean no harm to you. I want to offer you both an opportunity."

"We don't want your opportunity!" Ajie raised his head, looking at the old man with caution.

Zhang Dayang's face remained amiable, "Don't refuse so quickly, young friend. Look..."

Zhang Dayang had his own way of dealing with children.

He opened his hand, and a banana appeared in his originally empty palm.

This kind of transformation was especially appealing to children.

Sure enough, Ajie's sister behind him stared at the banana, her face filled with wonder and confusion.

"If you two follow me and take me as your master, in the future... you'll be able to transform like me, changing into whatever you wish."

Zhang Dayang spoke with pride, as if he had absolute confidence.

At this moment, a young man beside them spoke up, "You two are so lucky. In the Fire Spirit Realm, everyone would be crying and kneeling, begging to take Freedom Wanderer as their master.

With such a great opportunity before you, why aren't you two little ones bowing and paying respects to become his disciples? Once you become his disciples, your life paths will completely change!

You will enter a world that was once unimaginable and unattainable."

The young man spoke with arrogance, as if he was looking down on the world from a high position.

Hearing this, Zhang Dayang shook his head, "My friend, you're exaggerating. I'm just a wandering cultivator.

Zi Yuan and Tong Tianyou, these two... seemed to catch my eye, and their talents were quite suitable. It was a sight that excited my hunting instincts.

"You two young friends, are you willing to follow me?"

"Don't hesitate. As long as you two agree, I'll personally go and convince your families."

Freedom Wanderer had his own unique way of doing things, different from most Cultivators.

Ajie, seeing this, quickly shook her head, "Sorry, we're not interested."

Zhang Dayang was slightly taken aback, "Is it that my spellcasting is not flashy enough?"

He waved his hand again.

A small golden dragon appeared between his arms, coiling and flying gracefully, a truly captivating sight.

Such a scene was most likely to attract children.

However, Ajie didn't even glance at it, instead pulling her sister's hand and leaving directly.

Zhang Dayang was left stunned, and then he sighed.

The young man, seeing this, turned cold, "Senior, should I go and capture them?"

"Hmph, they have eyes but fail to recognize a true dragon."

Such a huge opportunity right before them, and they actually let it slip by."

Zhang Dayang shook his head, a smile in his eyes, "In my life, what I pursue is freedom. Why force others?"

"Everything is about fate. In the coming days, I'll show a few more tricks. If they still refuse, then it's clear that we have fate but no shared destiny."

Hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up, "In that case, congratulations on acquiring these two excellent disciples soon."

"However... if these two have fate but no shared destiny with you, our Battle Deity Sect... if we take them in, I hope you won't mind!"

Both of them had excellent talents, one with an Earth Grade Spirit Root and the other with a Heaven Grade Spirit Root.

If it weren't for Freedom Wanderer wanting to take them as disciples, with the Battle Deity Sect's style, they would have already abducted the two long ago.

"Sure." Freedom Wanderer acted strangely, with no taboos.

If the Battle Deity Sect wanted to abduct someone, they would do it.

"I've already investigated. These two aren't from the Qinyuan Realm, they're from this neighborhood, brought back by Gui Ran."

"Our Battle Deity Sect has cooperated with the Wu Gui's Wu Jiao."

"When the time comes... we can just take them in the name of the Wu Gui Kingdom, it's very simple." The young man said.

...

[Task Completed. Reward: One Ancestral Reversion Pill.]

A flash of light, and in Zi Yuan's stone house, a pill appeared.

Unlike ordinary pills, this one was blood-red, emitting a strong bloody aura.

Zi Yuan looked at the pill, his eyes filled with curiosity.

[For best results, consume the Ancestral Reversion Pill at the Blood Jade Wall.]

The prompt appeared again.

The Blood Jade Wall was a blood-red wall present in every stronghold, adorned with carvings of various strange and exotic beasts.

Cultivating beneath the Blood Jade Wall provided great benefits to Blood Martial Cultivators.

"It seems I'll have to go out. I wonder if this Ancestral Reversion Pill will let me meet my ancestors."

On the other side, within the stronghold.

An Qiao was still in a daze.

The task completion notification finally arrived, and she had finally returned to the stronghold.

"An Qiao, what happened? A task... took you almost a year, I thought you had died in the task world." Lin Yeshan, wearing tattered clothes, looked at An Qiao with a strange expression.

Usually, these tasks were completed quickly.

Even a month was considered extremely rare.

For An Qiao, nearly a year, was unheard of.

In a 1619 book, I saw no mistakes!

Not only Lin Yeshan, but others in the stronghold also thought An Qiao had likely died in the task world.

But now, after nearly a year, An Qiao's sudden appearance shocked many within the stronghold.

At this moment, a crowd had gathered around An Qiao.

"What happened, An Qiao? The task difficulty rating wasn't high, why did it take a year!"

"Yes, this task had nearly twenty participants, and it still took almost a year, that's too exaggerated!"

An Qiao looked at the surrounding crowd, swallowing, "Have you ever experienced... the task target being taken away by a fellow Cultivator?"

"What?"

"Taken away by a fellow Cultivator, for a year?"

"This person has sinister intentions!"

"He must be planning to trap you all in the task world!"

The crowd's expressions changed slightly, all thinking of a terrifying possibility.

If they offended a fellow Cultivator, and that Cultivator took the task target away, preventing them from completing the task, wouldn't that mean... they might be trapped in the task world, eventually exploding and dying?

"Did you capture this person? After almost a year, you should have caught him."

"It seems his strength is formidable, and he's skilled at escaping. It took you a year to capture him." Lin Yeshan sighed.

As an old Martial Cultivator, he was at a disadvantage, and completing tasks in the task world heavily relied on teammates.

If he encountered such a situation, he wouldn't know what to do.

As the sun set over the bustling city, a group of people gathered, their minds filled with curiosity and anticipation. Among them was a young man named Huo Mushi, who had a question on his mind.

"Hey, what about Qi Yuan? I thought he was in the Jade Blood Realm. Did he fail to capture that scoundrel?" Lin Yeshan couldn't help but ask.

An Qiao, upon hearing this, gave a bitter smile and replied, "That person... is Qi Yuan."

"What... him?!"

"He did such a despicable act, disregarding all rules!"

"No way, he'll come out soon. We need to teach him a lesson; otherwise, how can we survive if we team up with him?"

"We must teach him a lesson, or..."

The crowd was filled with indignation and anger.

"I think... it's better not to teach him," An Qiao said weakly.

"How is that possible? Is he already in the middle stage of the Jade Blood Realm? Hmph, even with some strength in that stage, it's still not enough!"

"An Qiao, don't be afraid. We'll protect you!"

"Today, we must have a talk with him. Disregarding the lives of our comrades is truly despicable!"

"Even if he's strong, can't we all rush him and defeat him before he exhausts his Blood Martial Aura? Can he really kill all of us?"

The crowd was agitated, their voices filled with righteous indignation.

An Qiao looked at the crowd and muttered, "Yes."

"What?!" Lin Yeshan was shocked.

The others turned to look at An Qiao, confusion written on their faces.

An Qiao spoke, "In Fengyuan, there are twelve Demon Caves. The weakest one has three thousand Demon Troops, led by a Demon Hero.

The strongest one has twenty thousand Demon Troops, led by a Demon Spirit.

Within this year, Qi Yuan, with his mission target, traveled three thousand li, alone and on horseback. He single-handedly swept through all the Demon Caves..."

An Qiao's voice grew more agitated as she spoke, and the crowd fell silent, shocked by her words.

"How is it possible for one person to kill tens of thousands of demons? Even a Martial Spirit couldn't do that, let alone a Martial King... they'd probably die of exhaustion!"

The crowd was stunned, feeling that this was beyond their comprehension.

After all, Demon Troops were not ordinary humans.

Twenty thousand Demon Troops, led by a Demon Spirit, could probably exhaust even a Martial King.

And... a Martial King.

Well, they hadn't heard of any stronghold having a Martial King.

Even in a mission world, a large-scale mission world, a King was just a legend.

A Martial King, when converted to the Cultivation world, was a Purple Mansion.

An incomparable Purple Mansion!

"An Qiao, you're in luck. It's a good opportunity. This Genius Alliance certificate can help you send it to Yang Guang."

A calm and leisurely voice resonated, and everyone in the room suddenly smelled an intense bloody aura.

For some reason, their blood boiled, and their bodies trembled as if a terrifying demon lord had fixed its gaze upon them.

A handsome young man in a blood-red robe appeared, his face serene.

The Genius Alliance certificate also fell into An Qiao's hands.

Everyone's gaze turned to Qi Yuan, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

This trembling seemed to be etched into their genes, deep within their bloodline.

At first, they had doubted An Qiao's words, thinking she was exaggerating.

But now, with Qi Yuan's appearance, they knew that An Qiao had spoken the truth!

The overwhelming killing intent and bloody aura were undeniable.

And their Blood Martial Path was based on Demon Troops.

So, they had the deepest understanding.

These people looked at Qi Yuan, shivering, all their previous bravado gone.

At that moment, Qi Yuan spoke to the crowd, "Did I just hear someone speaking ill of me? A few days ago, at the Four Seasons Restaurant, someone spoke ill of me and was beaten to death by me.

Is there someone else speaking ill of me?"

A thick bloody aura filled the air.

The crowd's legs trembled, and their hearts were filled with fear.

They had a feeling that Qi Yuan could kill them at any moment if he wished.

"You all look at me with such fear. Does that mean... you've all spoken ill of me and now feel guilty?" Qi Yuan looked at the crowd, his expression calm.

"No!"

"Not at all!"

The crowd quickly flattered Qi Yuan, some even trying to look innocent.

"If you didn't speak ill of me, why are you afraid of me?" Qi Yuan moved his lips slightly.

He remembered a classic saying.

The people in the room became even more afraid, trying to appear fearless, but their bodies betrayed them.

However, Qi Yuan spoke again, "Never mind, I am magnanimous and won't hold it against you."

Qi Yuan decided to go back and find the Golden Canary, asking her to help cover up the bloody aura on his body.

Otherwise, he would seem too demonic.

This would affect his positive image.
