Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 999: Chapter 40 Qiu Zhongqiu_2 Chapter 999: Chapter 40 Qiu Zhongqiu_2 “Lord Yan is being too modest,” lamented Wang Ba.

“Unfortunately, we have just come from the north and are not too familiar with that so-called Rogue Cultivator.

Otherwise, we might have been able to lend a helping hand.”

In a relaxed tone, they continued conversing, with a hint of heartfelt sincerity.

It was as if in the blink of an eye, they had turned from enemies into friends.

After a short while.

Yan Wuxiong said with regret,

“It’s a pity that Wang still needs to head to the Ghost Market; otherwise, it would have been perfect to travel there together.”

“Hehe, there’s no need for Yan to see me off,” Wang Ba replied.

Standing atop the carriage, he bid a reluctant farewell.

...

Until he was no longer visible.

Only then did he return to the carriage.

As he entered the carriage, the look of reluctance on his face instantly turned into a trace of sternness.

“Primitive Demonic Sect….”

“Lou Yi, you drive for a while.”

Lou Yi hurriedly scrambled out.

Li Yingfu quickly entered.

He looked at Wang Ba with a somber expression,

“Right Enforcer, that Spirit Rhinoceros Stone you had earlier, it was fake, wasn’t it?”

Wang Ba was startled, then burst into laughter, “Indeed, I can’t fool Enforcer Li.”

Li Yingfu shook his head, “I’ve come across the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone a few times.

The one you brought out did look very similar, but its aura was not quite right; it could only deceive people like Yan Wuxiong who don’t understand.”

He then continued seriously, “But wasn’t what you did a bit too risky?”

Wang Ba just smiled,

“What risk?

After all, this is within Jin’s vassal state, and we are not too far from the Linglong Ghost Market.

If a real fight broke out, it would quickly attract others.

He was just pretending to intimidate us.

By me producing the ‘Spirit Rhinoceros Stone,’ it made him realize that his intimidation was ineffective, and he didn’t dare to actually hurt us, so naturally, he didn’t dare continue feigning ignorance.

However…”

Wang Ba slightly furrowed his brow,

“Are these people from the Primitive Demonic Sect really so brazen in Sen State?”

Li Yingfu also frowned slightly, “Indeed, they should not be.

Although Sen State is quite chaotic now, letting the members of the Primitive Demonic Sect act so unrestrained here seems inappropriate.”

A thought flashed through Wang Ba’s mind, and he inquired, “Do you know who is currently the Guardian of the Ghost Market in Sen State?”

“The Guardian of the Ghost Market in Sen State?”

Li Yingfu slightly furrowed his brow, then he said,

“It’s another disciple of Elder Du Wei, with the surname Qiu and the name ‘Zhong Qiu.'”

“A disciple of Elder Du Wei?

Qiu Zhong Qiu?”

Wang Ba was slightly taken aback, “A person from Shou Peak?”

Li Yingfu shook his head slightly,

“No, from Lianqing Peak.”

“Lianqing Peak?”

Wang Ba was somewhat astonished.

Li Yingfu explained,

“He was born in Sen State, and so was Elder Du Wei.

Because of his exceptional talent, Du Wei took him as a disciple…

However, later on, for some reason, it seems they had a disagreement, so he switched allegiance to another peak.

Elder Du Wei, pitying his talent, did not blame him, and although he switched to Lianqing Peak, he still acknowledges Du Wei as his master.”

“The situation is rather complicated, and I don’t have a clear understanding of it all.

Basically, that’s what happened.”

Wang Ba nodded thoughtfully.

Then he said,

“Alright, let’s get to the Linglong Ghost Market as soon as possible.”

Li Yingfu immediately left the carriage.

Meanwhile.

Watching the carriage depart,

Yan Wuxiong’s look of regret vanished in an instant, replaced by a trace of chilliness.

The green-robed cultivator beside him couldn’t help but say,

“Lord, are we just going to let them go like this?”

“What else?”

Yan Wuxiong’s demeanor darkened,

“After all, we are in Sen State.

If we make things too ugly, Zhang Songnian from the Longevity Sect is still here.

Provoke him, and he could take action.

Even if the Holy Sect avenges us, we would have already suffered a big loss….”

“But what about the Fourth Saint Son?”

The green-robed cultivator couldn’t help but say.

Hearing that name, Yan Wuxiong’s complexion turned even more somber, and he said irritably,

“What to do?

What can be done!”

“Within Sen State, the forces capable of silently abducting a Nascent Soul Later Stage holy child are non-other than Wanxiang Sect and Longevity Sect.

It’s impossible there are others.”

“The Longevity Sect isn’t interested in external affairs, and one can never find their people; that leaves only the Wanxiang Sect for us to pursue.”

“But you saw it yourself, he carries the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone.

If he sends a message before I can kill him, and if I actually do kill him, a provoked Wanxiang Sect would likely not let us off the hook.”

“Without the holy child, we at worst would be dismissed and punished, but if we ourselves are gone, then that really is the end!”

Hearing this, the green-robed cultivator fell silent.

Then, sounding somewhat disheartened, he asked,

“So we’re just giving up?”

“Of course not!”

Yan Wuxiong’s eyes shone sharply,

“We keep using the name of that Rogue Cultivator to continue our search, but we must also keep an eye on Wanxiang Sect and Longevity Sect…

They abducted the holy child for a reason.

If we keep a close watch on them, we’re likely to find something!”

The green-robed cultivator was taken aback for a moment, then a glint gradually lit up in his eyes.

…

“So this is the Linglong Ghost Market of Sen State?”

Wang Ba, looking down at the series of islands in the lake surrounded by forest, could not help showing a look of surprise.

These islands weren’t big, but they were nearly filled with densely packed buildings.

There were countless cultivators’ auras intermixed among them.

Some were powerful, at the Nascent Soul stage, while others merely at the Qi Refining stage.

Yet, despite their varying strengths, they seemed to get along rather well.

“It should be here,”

Li Yingfu nodded, “It is said that this market was established first, so many aspects are still being figured out.

Therefore, it doesn’t have the three-tiered structure that other ghost markets have.”
