Chapter 328 Mysterious Man
"No, do we need to buy so much? We can always buy more next time. There's no need to hoard so much stuff."
"I don't know when I'll be able to come again next time."
"Come out whenever you want, anyway, I have nothing else to do."
Wu Qinghuan shook her head and didn't say anything more.
After absorbing the power of all the ferocious beasts in the River Styx, her cultivation level had reached the peak of the Void Refinement Realm.
Now, I am only one step away from the Dao Integration Realm.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should have been in seclusion on the mountain cultivating during this period.
Besides that, she actually had another idea.
That is to cultivate the Dao Heart of Extreme Emotion to perfection.
This will have a negative effect, namely, the outbreak of karmic fire.
Yes, it's almost the same state as the previous backlash from karmic fire.
It requires a great deal of training to suppress.
So it's unlikely to be released anytime soon.
But of course, she wouldn't say those things.
If this had happened before, I wouldn't have said it.
But now, my senior brother is really awful.
I don't know where he learned this cunning and ruthless personality from; it's extremely wicked.
If I told them the truth, they'd probably laugh at me.
So we'll just have to take it one step at a time.
When the karmic fire erupts, we can cultivate together.
We can't just sit idly by.
But since we'll be staying on the mountain, we'll naturally need to buy more food.
"To be honest, I didn't have the habit of eating before. It was all because of my third senior sister that I got the habit."
Wu Qinghuan muttered softly.
Xu Nian found it somewhat amusing, "This can be considered a tradition in Xiao Qingshan."
"This isn't Xiaoqingshan's tradition, is it?"
"That is…?"
Xu Nian had just asked when she knew what Wu Qinghuan was planning to say.
The couple she was referring to.
Well, how can this not be considered traditional?
That would be one of them.
"Actually, there are some differences. I am sacrificing myself to feed the tiger, offering myself up to give the cultivation world a bright and clear world. This is a matter of righteousness."
"?"
Wu Qinghuan slowly typed out a number.
What is this guy babbling about?
She's really good at talking.
But listen carefully, is this even human language?
What does it mean to offer oneself to a tiger?
Who sacrificed themselves?
Who is the tiger?
Damn it! Who are you calling a jerk?!
"Xu Nian, what do you mean by this?"
"I sacrificed myself to seal the demon, and now I have finally defeated the great demon."
"Give yourself up? What, you're unwilling?"
"Well, cough cough, that's another story."
The Holy Son gave him a dismissive glance.
Pouting.
That stinky senior brother is so shameless, taking advantage of others and then acting innocent.
I want to bite him to death.
"Sharp-tongued, huh."
"That's called being articulate."
"Isn't that the same?"
"No, it's still a little different."
Xu Nian shook her head, "The second one sounds better."
Wu Qinghuan rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Which one sounds better? They all feel the same.
Equally infuriating.
To be honest, my senior brother's methods of infuriating people are getting more and more sophisticated.
The two chatted casually.
Walking in the street.
Looking at the vendors around me, I bought a lot of food.
Finally, we went to a restaurant and bought more than a dozen jugs of wine.
On one hand, I brought some for my master, and on the other hand, I drank it myself.
"Is that enough? Is there anything else we need to buy?"
"Either is fine, I'd like to wander around some more."
"Let's take another look... wait a minute..."
Xu Nian, who was speaking, seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
He stared blankly at the sign in the distance, his expression somewhat astonished.
Wu Qinghuan noticed her senior brother's change. At first, she didn't know what was going on or what was wrong with the shop in the distance, but then she saw the rocking chair outside the shop.
The mature woman was wearing a purple robe, with her legs crossed and her hands behind her head, gazing at the sky.
Who else could it be but the proprietress?
But the question is, how did this guy end up here?
This is not the Southern Region.
This is a market town in the north.
Is the owner's business really that extensive? They even have branches here?
Wait, how many branches has this guy opened?
And are all these people outside really the same people?
Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan exchanged a glance, both noticing the strange look in each other's eyes.
They now strongly suspect that the proprietress has cultivated some kind of doppelganger technique.
He divided himself into one clone after another.
The main body is in the main store, and the clones are in each of the branch stores.
Otherwise, how could we run into each other everywhere?
Even if it's fate, isn't this fate a bit too much?
"Hey? It's someone I know! Come here and let your big sister see how much the two little ones have grown."
The woman who was lying in the rocking chair with her eyes closed.
It seemed as if it sensed their gazes.
He actually sat up from the rocking chair and turned to look this way.
Xu Nian was somewhat surprised and quite astonished.
What do you mean?
Has it been discovered?
How could a cultivator of my level be discovered?
Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?
This proprietress must have some kind of cultivation, right?
Otherwise, how could he be so perceptive?
Wu Qinghuan also sensed that something was wrong.
The senses of the strong are beyond the perception of the weak, no matter how sharp their reactions.
Unless both sides are at the same level.
Or perhaps, the opponent's strength far surpasses that of oneself.
So now comes the problem.
Is it the first one or the second one?
If it's the first scenario, then the two people are roughly equal in strength.
Then why does the other person appear to be just an ordinary person in my perception?
Can an ordinary person have such keen perception?
How could an ordinary person open so many stores?
And strangely enough... you can encounter them anywhere, no matter where you go?
That seems unlikely.
Besides this one, it seems there's only one last possibility left.
It means that the opponent's strength far exceeds that of oneself.
This idea may seem a bit crazy, but considering all factors, it's highly likely to be true.
"What are you standing there for? Come over here and let your sister see you. I'll ask her to treat you to a free meal this time."
The two were stunned.
Wu Qinghuan didn't react much, except that her ears turned a little red.
Xu Nian then spoke directly.
What's wrong with calling me "sister"? It won't hurt me anyway.
Besides, the items in this store aren't cheap to begin with.
Even with a free order, you can still save a considerable amount of spirit stones.
One more thing…
Not long ago, Qinghuan had just agreed to buy a large batch of clothes.
Just in time to fall asleep, there's a pillow.
Here it is now.
He was still thinking about when to go to the store, but he didn't expect to run into it here.
"You've grown quite a bit taller! You two are such a perfect match, like a match made in heaven."
Looking at the two people in front of her, the proprietress seemed to have some feelings.
I remember when these two people first came here, they weren't very tall.
They keep talking about senior and junior brothers.
They believed everything the two of them said, even though they were both senior and junior brothers.
Senior and junior brothers...
You're kidding me.
I never imagined I'd grow up so fast.
These heads are all incredibly tall.
The men were handsome and dashing, and the women were plump and charming.
These two standing together are a match made in heaven.
only…
Why is there a strange spiritual energy fluctuation on my body?
Seemingly sensing something strange, the proprietress frowned.
Looked a few more times.
I didn’t pay much attention to it.
Soon after, she closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep.
"Hey, are you taking a break?"
Xu Nian looked at her with some surprise.
How did you suddenly fall asleep while we were talking?
What a strange person.
"I hope this woman is alright."
"It's nothing, his breathing is stable, he's probably just tired."
Just to be on the safe side, I checked on the landlady's condition.
She seemed perfectly normal.
The two then entered the cabin.
The store had a wide variety of products, and I bought many that I had never seen before.
He left with his belongings after an incense stick's time.
The two greeted the proprietress, but she seemed to be really asleep and didn't respond.
This person is really strange.
It's kind of amazing that she can fall asleep while talking.
They left with their belongings, flying out of the ancient city.
It's still a few hours' journey to the Sword Sect from here.
We need to cross the Netherworld Mountains.
There are no powerful monsters in the mountains.
You can simply cross it.
Now that everything has been bought, and clothes have been added, I've finished shopping.
There's nothing else to buy.
The two traveled at full speed, heading straight for the Sword Sect.
Two figures high in the sky.
Speed away.
Not long after, they suddenly sensed an aura descending.
That was a scent that Xu Nian was extremely familiar with.
In his past life, he was the one who ultimately killed this person.
Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
The guy whose clone descended earlier.
But why is it here?
The moment they sensed each other's presence, the two attacked simultaneously.
Xu Nian swung his longsword, while his junior sister beside him set up an array.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, hehe."
A cloud of black mist slowly appeared.
It then quickly coalesced into a human figure.
It was none other than the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, whose clone had been destroyed earlier!
Why is he here?
And what did you mean by what you said?
Have we been waiting for you for a long time?
It was as if they already knew they would be here!
Without a second thought, Xu Nian crushed the sect leader's jade plate.
He looked at the person in front of him with apprehension.
Seeing that he had easily broken through his attack and Qinghuan's formation.
They did not rashly launch a second attack.
They did not flee immediately.
Instead, it preserves its state and awaits his next move.
If we flee now, it would be tantamount to passively taking a beating.
If they rely on their strong blood and qi to fight back, they might be able to hold on for a while.
But if you run away directly, it's like putting yourself in a completely passive position.
At that time, there is a high probability that you will get injured.
The sect leader doesn't need to fly; he can directly tear through space.
But it will take some time.
But it won't take too long.
"Waiting for your sect leader's support? Hah, you're dreaming! Prepare to die!"
The demon seemed to be able to read the thoughts of the two people in front of him.
There was no hesitation.
They unleashed their strongest killing move.
A terrifying palm strike came hurtling down.
Rather, it was a full-force attack from him, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
It even... actively burned a portion of its essence and blood.
Xu Nian frowned.
Knowing he couldn't withstand the blow, he stepped forward to shield his junior sister.
He was about to raise his sword to counterattack, trying to weaken the terrifying energy contained in that palm strike.
Although this would also result in injury, it would preserve the junior sister's condition.
But at that moment, an equally fierce palm strike roared out.
The man was dressed in a large black robe, making it impossible to see his figure or face.
Who is this person?
