C17 Entering the City

"No need, I'll walk over myself!" Jiang Cen rejected him immediately.

Ji Qiu's face sank: "This is not up to you! I, Ji, have been waiting here for you for a long time.

"How can you let me go? It was to protect myself that I killed two of your companions! " Jiang Cen asked. He only wanted to survive and find clues. He did not want to have any enmity with others.

"Very simple, give me half of the treasure!" He didn't want the other cultivators in the distance to hear him.

"What treasure?" Jiang Cen was confused.

Why did Sword Manipulating Scholar think that he had Dragon Design Cyan Jade and this Ji Qiu thought that he had treasure?

"Stop pretending!" Ji Qiu's voice became even lower: "Two days ago, there was a rumor that an Aurous Core elder from the Nanyang Sect died in the Valley of the Immortal Ascension, and all of his treasures have disappeared without a trace. Yet you, a mere Early Period of the Qi Core Cultivator, can take out such a high level sword talisman that only Golden Core experts can create. I believe you have already obtained the Storage Ring of the Golden Core Grandmaster! "

The more Jiang Cen heard, the more surprised he was. This Ji Qiu was too smart, he only used the Hundred Sword Talisman once and he could already guess that he got the Storage Ring!

Normally, an ordinary person's brain only used a small portion of it. However, after a cultivator cultivated, their meridians would be unobstructed, their spiritual energy would be abundant, and their brain's utilization would greatly increase. Naturally, they would be smarter and sharper.

"So the reason why he's here isn't to avenge his two companions!" Jiang Cen's heart skipped a beat.

"You guessed wrong!" Jiang Cen replied, "I don't have any Storage Ring."

"I know what's right and wrong!" Ji Qiu harrumphed, "The treasures of the Jindan Stage Elder are extremely valuable. I will not be able to use all of them up even if you split them with me. Do you want to monopolize the treasure and bring about a fatal disaster, or do you want to be smarter and hand over half of the treasure to me?

"What should we do?" Jiang Cen complained in his heart.

If he were to admit to it, the other party would definitely not let him off, and there would be endless troubles in the future. He could only brace himself and deny it, "I don't even have a flying magic tool, how could I have any treasures! I also found that old sword symbol in the ruins of a cave. "

Ji Qiu's face turned even darker: "If you still don't know what's good for you, then I'll just make a move!"

Jiang Cen thought for a second, then laughed: "If I were you, I wouldn't attack!"

"Why?" Ji Qiu asked.

Jiang Cen said, "If I don't have the Storage Ring, not only will you not reap any rewards, you will also have to take the risk of being killed by the sword token."

"If I had a Storage Ring, this place would be so close to the Nanyang City and people would come and go. Once I take action, it would definitely attract other cultivators to watch."

"When everyone sees the Storage Ring, can you, Cultivator of the Qi Core Late Period, take it as your own?"

Ji Qiu's expression turned serious as he slowly lowered his raised hand.

Jiang Cen continued, "I am indeed not qualified to have the treasures of a Jindan Stage Elder, but neither do you!"

"Those seniors of the Core Condensation Period are also unable to forget about the Storage Ring. Once word of this gets out, I will definitely be hunted down; and when they can't find the Storage Ring, they won't let you go either! "

"If you attack, you will die together!"

These words seemed to prick Ji Qiu's mind. His face was gloomy and he did not act rashly.

Jiang Cen held onto the Hundred Sword Talisman tightly. If the other party were to make a move, he could only use all his strength.

But until the last moment, he did not want to use the Hundred Sword Talisman.

Ji Qiu could guess from the Hundred Sword Talisman that he had obtained the Storage Ring of the Jindan Stage Elder, as well as other cultivators. If the scholar's two disciples found out about this, they would definitely chase him down and kill him without a care in the world!

Ji Qiu didn't want to shoot the rat, but he wasn't willing to let Jiang Cen off. The two of them fell into a stalemate.

At this moment, Fong Xu and Chen Xiufei turned around and saw Ji Qiu.

Fong Xu immediately recognized Ji Qiu as the young man in the later phase of the Core Formation Stage who stole the mission to ascend the Immortal Ranking, and he could tell that Ji Qiu harbored malicious intentions towards Jiang Cen.

"This senior brother has already entered the Nanyang Sect." Fong Xu tried to smooth things over: "We are just about to go join Nanyang Sect, and will be fellow sect members from now on, so please be magnanimous towards us for past grudges."

"Sure!" Ji Qiu snorted: "This is none of your business, hurry up and leave!"

Chen Xiufei gave Fong Xu a look as if he wanted to stay out of the matter, but Fong Xu did not leave.

Fong Xu continued: "The Nanyang Sect strictly forbids killing in the same sect. Senior, by doing this, I'm afraid you will violate the sect rules, and the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Ji Qiu was obviously very afraid of the sect's rules. He pointed at Jiang Cen and said: "He is not a Nan Yang disciple, and this place is also outside of Nanyang City. I have some personal grudges with him, what does it have to do with the sect rules!"

Fong Xu continued: "Although Fellow Taoist Jiang is not a disciple of Nanyang, he is here to join Nanyang Sect. According to the sect's rules, cultivators who join our sect should not be harmed either!"

Ji Qiu smiled and said, "Fellow is wrong, he personally said that he doesn't want to join our sect!"

"That may not be so!" Fong Xu hurriedly gave Jiang Cen a meaningful glance.

Jiang Cen was in a difficult position. If he didn't join Nanyang Sect, he would be in danger at the moment.

If Ji Qiu really acted recklessly, it would be very hard for him to resist.

And entering the Nanyang Sect, was no doubt a lamb entering a tiger's den. Furthermore, Lin Lu had repeatedly warned the Nanyang Sect to be extremely dangerous, and not to enter.

Regardless of the choice, it was a path filled with danger.

"In any case, it's still dangerous. I should see which one will be the most advantageous in the future!" Jiang Cen thought.

He was being chased by the Sword Manipulating Scholar of the Nanyang Sect, and Lin Lu inexplicably became the mission target of the Nanyang Sect Ranking. This Nanyang Sect seemed to have a lot to do with the time whirlpool that they had sunk into.

If he wanted to break the stalemate and not return to the starting point, he had to find enough clues, and Nanyang Sect was undoubtedly one of the important clues.

"If we don't fall into the tiger's lair, how can we fall into the tiger's lair? We might as well go to the Nanyang Sect and give it a try! "

"Even if I have to die once, twice, or a hundred times, I have to think of a way to find out what secrets are hidden behind this Nanyang Sect!"

"I've changed my mind!" Jiang Cen thought for a while and said: "I also plan to join Nanyang Sect."

"Wonderful!" Fong Xu praised him again and again, hinting at Jiang Cen to make a wise choice.

Fong Xu said: "Nanyang Sect is opening wide the door, widely recruiting the world's rogue cultivators. From now on, we are all fellow disciples of the same sect, so I hope that senior brother can let go of all your past grudges! "

Ji Qiu's face darkened, he flew to near Jiang Cen and said softly: "You think that I won't dare to touch you just because you entered Nanyang Sect? There will be plenty of chances in the future! "

After saying that in a low voice, Ji Qiu suddenly laughed heartily and said in a clear voice, "I won't disturb my junior brothers from entering the sect." "Junior Brother Jiang, we'll meet again soon, right?"

After Ji Qiu stepped aside, Jiang Cen hastily walked forward and quickly arrived at the other side and the Nanyang City door.

Chen Xiufei and Fong Xu also put away their flying magic tools and entered the city with him.

Ji Qiu watched Jiang Cen and the other two enter the Nanyang City and followed behind them from several hundred meters away.

Fong Xu said in a low voice: "Fellow Taoist Jiang, don't worry. No matter what conflicts you have, as long as you are in the Nanyang City, under the gaze of everyone, he will definitely not dare to make a move against you."

Jiang Cen nodded. He knew Ji Qiu wouldn't give up.

Since he was here at Nanyang Sect, he had to properly investigate and see what kind of clues the Nanyang Sect was hiding!
