Chapter 65: Senior Brother, You've Gone Too Far
Looking at the oversized greeting he had typed, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he calmly withdrew his finger.
As the fingertip was withdrawn, the barrage gradually disappeared, and the chaotic Tianluo returned to normal in an instant.
Seeing this, Qing'e could only shake her head secretly, thinking to herself, "Such an imposing official, putting on a show of power right from the start."
"Okay, that's all for now. I have other things to do, I'll come back later."
Cao Xing realized that he had stayed long enough and had seen most of what he needed to see, so there was no need to keep staring.
What if I accidentally give myself away? Anyway, I can log back on anytime. I'll go out first and deal with Hong Kaiyuan and the other two tails first.
No wonder they gave me a hard time; it turns out you can't stay long.
Indeed, swift and decisive, yet meticulous and thoughtful.
Qing'e bowed slightly: "Rest assured, Star Lord, I will keep an eye on things here."
When Qing'e finished speaking, she looked up and found that Cao Xing had already logged off, leaving only an empty chair.
Qing'e was stunned, and couldn't help but retort, "Wait, didn't you even wait for me to finish speaking?? What a reckless man!"
At this moment, Xin Tianjun and the other two gods were walking on thin ice.
Although he had already asked for leave and it couldn't be considered a private descent to the mortal realm, he ultimately lacked the blessing of the Heavenly Dao and his physical body was incomplete. This was a wake-up call.
Fortunately, Qing'e's comment arrived just in time.
The Star Lord has departed; focus on your duties.
Upon seeing Qing'e's message, the three gods breathed a sigh of relief, but still respectfully addressed the sky, saying, "Respectfully bidding farewell to the Star Lord."
The three of them then stood up, looked at each other, and their expressions were not good.
Xin Tianjun spoke up, "Was that commotion just now... could it be that the Star Lord is dissatisfied with the incense gathering we're hosting?"
"It should be. After all, such a huge commotion wouldn't be enough even with 100,000 people." Yang Wenhui frowned. "It seems we made a mistake."
"So, shall we try some more methods to attract more people?" Jinlang suggested.
However, both Xin Tianjun and Yang Wenhui shook their heads in denial: "We who descend to the mortal realm should keep a low profile. If we cause too much of a commotion, it will only make things worse."
Jin Lang nodded upon hearing this, but then a thought struck him: "Gentlemen, I think we've misunderstood this matter. Whether the Star Lord is satisfied or not will probably not be determined at the incense gathering."
Upon hearing this, Xin Tianjun and Yang Wenhui's eyes lit up: "That's right, General Jin is right, we were mistaken."
"It seems that the key to satisfying the Star Lord lies with that Star Lord's junior."
"But... where is the younger generation?" The three gods looked troubled. Although they had left behind a secret incantation, they could immediately sense it as long as Cao Xing recited the incantation.
But Cao Xing still hasn't recited the secret incantation. In this vast sea of people, killing is easy, but finding someone... is not easy at all.
hum~~
The toilet door opened, and Cao Xing and another middle-aged man walked out together.
The middle-aged man looked very similar to Zhang Feiyu. After the two walked out of the teahouse one after the other, they immediately set off to leave the dark market.
After passing through the narrow, hidden door and returning to the inn, the innkeeper glanced at Cao Xing and nodded slightly. However, when he saw that there was someone following behind Cao Xing, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Cao Xing bowed to the shopkeeper, then nodded to Bixia behind him, and rushed out the door.
Bixia stood there for a few seconds before, under the shopkeeper's questioning gaze, she flashed out the door.
Watching the two figures walk away, one after the other, the shopkeeper lowered his head, gently turned the abacus a few times, and then snorted, "Hmph, someone else is going to be unlucky."
Meanwhile, Hong Kaiyuan, who was hiding in the alley, had already begun to grow impatient.
Zhao Jing squatted to the side, squinting at the Twelve Beauties competition in front of him, and couldn't help but complain, "Senior Brother, how much longer? We can't just wait here like this forever, can we? I want to watch the final of the Twelve Beauties competition!"
After Zhao Jing finished speaking, his eyes narrowed into a straight line. At this moment, the Twelve Beauties appeared one after another on the screen, each of them possessing a beauty that was unparalleled.
At this moment, another woman walked out of the scene. This woman had a bewitching appearance, and her eyes seemed to be swirling with desire. The crystal bra necklace complemented her fair skin, exuding a seductive charm amidst her elegance.
"Oh my, is this the Foundation Establishment female cultivator who killed eighteen people in a row before? She's really amazing! Senior Brother Xia, take a look, she's making her grand finale appearance!"
A middle-aged man sitting cross-legged beside Zhao Jing silently opened his eyes upon hearing this, glanced at the image Zhao Jing had shared, and immediately frowned, whispering a reprimand:
"What a powerful demoness! She actually disturbed my Supreme Bone!!"
After saying this, Xia Cheng stopped meditating and silently paid Zhao Jing ten taels of silver as a sharing fee.
Seeing this, Hong Kaiyuan was so angry that his teeth ached.
While he, the senior disciple, was keeping watch, these two junior disciples were actually looking at such lewd things.
"Can't you two be a little more serious? Watching this heretical practice of the Twelve Beauties of the Golden Flower is dangerous. What if you 'go mad'? If Uncle-Master Jin Yuan finds out about this, he'll definitely give you another scolding."
Xia Cheng said solemnly, "Senior brother, don't be angry. I'm just using this to cultivate my concentration. We are about to form our cores and will inevitably face the hurdle of inner demons on our path to immortality. Rather than guarding against them, we should confront them head-on. Only by being knowledgeable and experienced can we be unafraid of inner demons."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Jing gave a thumbs up: "Second Senior Brother is right. We cultivators should face our inner demons head-on and overcome all obstacles to see the Great Dao. Senior Brother, you keep an eye on things and don't disturb our cultivation."
"you!"
"Sigh~~"
Hong Kaiyuan sighed, feeling even more frustrated. He had followed the boy to the inn by tracking the mark on his body, but the boy hadn't come out after going in.
Hong Kaiyuan led the three inside, but the innkeeper only looked up and asked a few questions before saying there was no such person there and kicking them out.
It wasn't that Hong Kaiyuan dared not force his way in, but rather that all businesses under the Heavenly Net were protected by it. If he were to make a move, even damaging a single door or window would be enough to cost him his life in compensation. Therefore, he could only stay here and guard the place.
"Senior Brother, why don't you just let it go? You only got a beating from Uncle Gu Su, and to put it bluntly, you deserved it. That kid is Uncle Gu Su's man, and it's bad enough that you pulled down his pants in public, but you even started talking badly about Uncle Gu Su. If it weren't for Uncle Jin Yuan protecting you, do you really think you'd still be alive?"
Although Xia Cheng's expression was focused on the scene before him, he was also multitasking, and began to persuade Hong Kaiyuan.
Hong Kaiyuan was furious upon hearing this: "Nonsense! He took off his own pants. The rumors are completely fabricated. It's just gossip from others. What does it have to do with me?"
Xia Cheng and Zhao Jing naturally didn't believe it. After all, although they weren't present when Hong Kaiyuan led his men to block the mountain gate that day, they had heard about what happened.
The five words "fake elixir of the female path" were spoken by Hong Kaiyuan. Just for those five words, Gu Su would be worth killing him for.
Normally, who would dare to mention this matter inside the mountain gate? Wouldn't that be like bringing up a sore spot?
Just as the three were talking, the door to the inn was suddenly pulled open, and Cao Xing rushed out, tumbling and scrambling. He then turned and ran wildly down the alley to the west.
"They're out!!"
Upon seeing this, Hong Kaiyuan quickly turned around and shouted to Xia Cheng and Zhao Jing.
To his surprise, these words caused Xia Cheng's face to flush slightly, and he immediately retorted angrily, "Senior Brother, you've gone too far by seeing through things but not saying so!"
