Chapter 652 He Hid His Cultivation
Murong Ji refused without hesitation: "I'm not curious."
“But we are curious, since you have the ability, why don’t you do more within your ability?” Wang Quan Baiye walked to Murong Ji’s bed and watched him sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing. The spiritual energy around him had not yet completely dissipated.
Wang Quan Baiye was stunned. He was so hardworking, no wonder his strength was so much higher than his!
Murong Ji sighed softly and said helplessly, "Having power doesn't mean you can solve all problems, nor does it mean you can support everything."
"For example, how do you resolve the conflict between humans and monsters today? Cultivation is inherently mysterious. Facing an unknown enemy without full preparation is like sending yourself to death."
Murong Ji frowned, and then continued, "It's fine to explore outside the circle, but what if you bring back creatures from outside the circle? Or what if you become the medium for them to enter the circle?"
"How can ordinary people resist the invasion of creatures from outside the circle? Do you have any way to eliminate them? Or, if you meet them after you get out, what means can you use to eliminate them?"
Wang Quan Baiye was somewhat helpless and scratched his head, "Brother Chen, if everything is ready, then my life is halfway through..."
Murong Ji angrily retorted: "Not well prepared! Should all living beings be buried with you?!"
"Do you know what abilities they have? You don't know their way of thinking, power distribution, and behavior methods. What are you going to do out there? Are you so anxious to die?"
Wang Quan Baiye was silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled, "We don't know what you are talking about. But..."
"As for the world outside the circle, almost everyone in the Dao League is very secretive and is doing their best to protect that circle. Has anyone ever thought about going out and taking a look?"
"There is no such thing as a thief who can thieve for a thousand days. They are old and afraid. Brother Chen, we are still young. You don't know what you said, but I know..."
Wang Quan Baiye's tone paused, then his eyes became resolute, and he said very seriously: "Fear comes from the unknown. We go out and uncover the truth of this world in order to break the fear, not to die."
"Maybe we will die outside, but as long as a few people, even just one person, come back, it means that the mystery outside the circle has been unveiled. The circle will no longer be mysterious, and it will no longer be scary."
Murong Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Quanba with a half-smile. "What's the price? What price are you ready to pay? Are you willing to die bravely?"
Wang Quan Baiye was silent for a moment, and stared at Murong Ji's pale eyes again.
He seemed to be waiting for Murong Ji's answer. It didn't matter whether he went or not, he just wanted an answer.
After a long silence, Murong Ji finally said, "You are right. I will go to Wuhuang Mountain with you. Forget about the outside of the circle. I have my own plans and methods. Those of you are young and full of energy, and too confident."
"It's not enough to be ashamed of your character. When the critical moment comes, it will become a burden. Why don't you wait for me to come back from outside the circle, and then decide on the next step. How do you think?"
Wang Quan Baiye was startled and asked in surprise, "You said before that Jin Chenxi was an outsider. What are you doing..."
Murong Ji leaned on the bed frame, stretched his waist, and said slowly: "In my plan, humans and monsters will explore the outside of the circle together, either together or separately, and then summarize the information in the end."
"We have unified management personnel, and we are organized and prepared to expand outward step by step. This is the right way to go. We are not like you who just rush in recklessly."
Wang Quan Baiye lowered his head to think, then said: "Then our Masked Group will be the vanguard to attack outside the circle."
Murong Ji was speechless for a moment. He didn't know what to say. It was the first time he saw someone so enthusiastic about committing suicide.
After the two agreed on a time to go to Wuhuang Mountain, Wang Quan Baiye left.
Murong Ji was silent for a while, then he said: "All fears come from the unknown. Breaking the unknown will break the fear."
Then, he sighed, turned over the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time, on the border between the Southern Kingdom and the human race, a young Taoist priest wearing a dark green Taoist robe, a tall crown with vertical panels on his head, with a determined face, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, stopped in the air with his sword.
The bright moon was in the sky, shining on this young Taoist, as if he was a true immortal descended to the world, independent in this life. He was like an ancient immortal overlooking the world.
Suddenly, the young Taoist took out a piece of paper from his bosom and carefully examined the images of medicinal herbs on the paper.
With a slight frown, he flew into the mountains on his sword.
The next morning.
After Murong Ji had breakfast and walked out of the inn, he saw three people waiting not far away.
At first glance, Li Quzhuo was seen staring at the ants on the ground alone, while Wang Quan Baiye and Li Zizai were chatting in low voices.
As soon as Murong Ji stepped forward, Li Quzhuo complained, "Chen Mi, you are still eating breakfast. As a cultivator, you should just satisfy your appetite. Are you really like an ordinary person who doesn't lack for three meals a day? You made us wait for so long! Really!"
Murong Ji glanced at the two brothers and said, "You have practiced and become a cultivator. People call you an immortal. Are you really an immortal? You are just a bigger building ant."
"Under the law of heaven, we are all ants."
The three were stunned, and when they came to their senses, Murong Ji was already walking towards the city gate, and the three hurriedly followed.
"Master, where are we going?" After walking a few steps, another person appeared beside them, Huang Shiren. Huang Shiren stuffed a bun into his mouth, took a bite, and then noticed the other three people.
Several people stared at each other.
Li Quzhuo and his companions could not guess Huang Shiren's identity for a moment. Without waiting to ask, Huang Shiren suddenly handed a bun to each of them.
After Wang Quan Baiye took it, he said: "Thank you, sir, may I ask your name?" Biting the bun, Wang Quan Baiye clasped his fists and bowed.
Huang Shiren hurriedly returned the greeting: "I am Huang Shiren, sir, you are polite."
"Ah! You are the yellow bull spirit! The one that follows Chen Mi all year round!" Li Quzhuo exclaimed, looking up and down at Huang Shiren, full of curiosity.
According to rumors, this yellow bull demon is quite powerful! A new great demon, Beishan and Tushan are paying close attention to it.
In the past few years, it seemed as if it had disappeared from Murong Ji's side. I heard from the elders in my family that this bull demon was learning skills from an old craftsman, and after serving the old craftsman in his later years, he went to Tushan.
There was a monster who had fought with him before. The toad on the Bi Bo An was a monster king. He was defeated in just three rounds.
Among the demon kings, some are strong and some are weak, and some are restrained in magical powers, so it is difficult to judge their combat effectiveness. But no matter what, no demon king can defeat an opponent of the same level within three rounds.
The Yiqi Dao League can be sure that this yellow bull demon named Huang Shiren is one of the top ones among the demon kings.
Even the strength level of the great demon king.
Huang Shiren felt a little embarrassed. He touched his head and said nothing.
Li Quzhuo said excitedly, "When we have time, let's have a fight. I heard that you are now a demon king. Let us see how powerful the demon following Murong the old thief is."
The four words "Old thief Murong" made Murong Ji frown. He turned to look at Li Quzhuo to see if he was getting angry.
Then I heard that he was making an appointment for a fight with Huang Shiren again. Isn't this just walking into a trap? Not to mention other things, that Wuding Flying Ring is enough to defeat Li Quzhuo.
Then he said, "Da Huang, when you fight him, be ruthless and beat him so hard that even his mother can't recognize him!"
"You think you can call that old thief Murong?"
As soon as Murong Ji finished speaking, Li Zizai felt a little helpless and bowed his hands and said, "Brother Chen, please forgive me. Murong is your nickname outside. My brother has no ill intentions. I'm sorry."
Murong Ji waved his hand, and then he saw the two sisters of the Dongfang family who had just returned with medicine baskets not far from the city gate.
Li Quzhuo wanted to see Wang Quan Baiye's reaction, but he was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression, which was a pity.
But his actions almost revealed everything. He walked up to them without saying a word and passed by them, chatting and laughing with Dongfang Huaizhu.
Several people looked at their backs and were speechless for a moment.
"A beautiful lady is a gentleman's dream." Huang Shiren murmured with envy on his face.
"Humph! What a gentleman! Really! Once you have a handsome man, you even ignore me, your gentle and sweet sister!"
Everyone looked down and saw Dongfang Qinlan, who was carrying a medicine basket with difficulty next to Murong Ji, with a look of anger on her face.
Murong Ji was somewhat speechless, "Don't you have a Devouring Sac? Put it in the Devouring Sac!"
"Oh! Yes! I forgot." Dongfang Qinlan put away the medicine basket and then quickly followed her sister.
Li Quzhuo suddenly said, "Chen Mi, after you left yesterday, I don't know what happened."
Before Murong Ji could ask, he heard Li Quzhuo talking to himself, "Not long after you left, my elder brother and the others came back to their senses and were looking at that Dongfang girl lovingly. Then the eldest brother from the Dongfang family came over to disrupt the situation."
"Oh, you didn't see it. Jin Renfeng was so angry that he almost exploded. It was really hilarious. He was trying his best to hurt Big Brother."
"But my elder brother used only the scabbard to beat the Golden Phoenix into a miserable state! If it wasn't for the sake of Shenhuoshan Villa, it would have been even worse!"
"Fourth brother!" Li Zizai said in a clear voice, "The Golden Phoenix is quite powerful."
"Hey, I know that big brother is a humble person. Now that he is not here, let's just tell the truth," Li Quzhuo said with a smile, crossing his arms.
Murong Ji stood in front and looked back slightly, muttering: "I have fought with that Jin Renfeng before, his cultivation is at least not worse than Yang Yitan."
