Chapter 278
Liu Jinrong walked towards Xiao Jinting. “Jinting, I didn’t expect you to make it here.”
Xiao Jinting smiled awkwardly. “If it weren’t for Mr. Chen, we would have died in the swamp.”
Liu Jinrong thought it impossible for people at low cultivation level like Xiao Jinting and his friends to arrive here, but Xiao Jinting’s explanation made sense. Chen Xu was the grandson of Chen Lifeng, who should have prepared some trump card for him since he dared to let Chen Xu in.
Liu Jinrong secretly envied the luck of Xiao Jinting’s team, who arrived without suffering any casualties. His team started with more than thirty people in the beginning, but only seven or eight of them made it here.
“Thank you, Mr. Chen.” Liu Jinrong nodded at Chen Xu.
Chen Xu shook his head and said lightly, “It’s nothing. Mr. Xiao has helped me a lot.”
Liu Jinrong said, “Come on, let’s not talk about this. Jinting, Mr. Chen, you are tired from the journey, so please go to our place and have a rest.”
Chen Xu smiled and said with delight, “Great! The journey from the swamp is exhausting. The swamp is really dangerous!”
“Mr. Chen, you are very lucky. Not long after our team entered the swamp, some of our teammates flinched away. Later, we lost several teammates in the swamp before we finally arrived here. By the way, have you met a lot of mud monsters along the way?”
“No, we met only a few mud monsters at the Foundation Establishment level. We scattered some talismans and defeated them. However, we are running out of the talismans.” Xiao Jinting said ruefully.
Liu Jinrong was envious. “You are really lucky to enter the inner city at the cost of a few talismans.”
“We are not that lucky. In order to survive, the defensive magic tools that Grandfather gave me were damaged.” Chen Xu said with feigned depression.
Knowing that Chen Xu was deliberately covering them, Xiao Jinting relaxed a little.
Chen Xu thought to himself, “Our luck is neither good nor bad. Along the way, we encountered various kinds of mud monsters. If it weren’t for Xiao Jinting, who resorted to many methods, we would have been doomed.
Liu Jinrong might think it was Grandfather’s Trump card that helped us arrive safely, but in fact, Grandfather is not that powerful. His methods at most could help me survive the initial rounds. As for the inner city, I have to count on myself.”
…
Liu Jinrong took Xiao Jinting and the others to go around the territory of the major sects and arrived at the place where the people of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect were resting.
“Who are they?” Xiao Jinting looked at the Heavenly God Sect.
“They are from Heavenly God Sect. The cultivators of Heavenly God Sect are very irritable recently. Don’t mess with them.” Liu Jinrong warned with a sullen face.
Xiao Jinting nodded and replied, “I got it.”
Not long after Xiao Jinting and the others arrived, two cultivators from Heavenly God Sect came and interrogated them, but Chen Xu sent them away.
Xiao Jinting suddenly found that Chen Xu was not only a competent encyclopedia, but also a very useful shield.
Although the Heavenly God Sect was arrogant, they didn’t go too far because of Chen Xu’s identity. After they found there was nothing wrong with Xiao Jinting and the others, they left.
“Jinrong, what’s going on?” asked Xiao Jinting.
Liu Jinrong squinted and said, “It is said that someone killed a few cultivators of Heavenly God Sect and took away the most valuable treasure of the sect. Therefore, they are making a thorough investigation.”
Xiao Jinting thought to himself, “It turns out that the Heavenly God Sect not only send people out to investigate, but they also search here.”
“The inner city is about to open, so they loosen the investigation a bit. If you had arrived earlier, they might not have spared you easily. Those people in Heavenly God Sect are very domineering.” Liu Jinrong said.
“Then we are really lucky…” Xiao Jinting laughed dryly.
Liu Jinrong nodded and said, “Yeah, The Heavenly God Sect actually ordered a few cultivators to open the space ring for them to check.”
Xiao Jinting was startled. “To open the space ring? This is too much.”
He frowned. Every cultivator had his own secrets, and the space ring was as dear as his own life.
“That’s right. This request was too unreasonable for ordinary cultivators to accept. In order to establish its authority, the Heavenly God Sect killed several cultivators, and then the other cultivators could do nothing but open their space rings. However, when the people in Heavenly God Sect saw that there was something good in the space rings, they snatched them away. Finally, they offended everyone.”
“Later, the cultivators from several sects joined hands to fight against the Heavenly God Sect, who afterwards restrained a lot.”
Xiao Jinting thought that he was lucky.
“Jinrong, the spiritual Qi here is rich. Cultivating in this place for a month is equivalent to three months in other places.” Xiao Jinting changed the topic.
“Yeah. However, it used not to be like this. Perhaps something has happened in the secret realm.” Liu Jinrong frowned and said.
Xiao Jinting touched his chin and said to himself, “Don’t worry about any changes. I can only wait and see.”
