Li Yunxiao asked, "Guards?"
The man sighed, "Yes, they specifically recruit scattered martial artists like us. It's like a job interview. Our monthly stipend is about the same as that of ordinary disciples."
The man's name was Shou Wei, a local wandering martial artist. Nanfire City was special compared to other places. Because it was located near the Golden Fire Crystal Mine, many wandering martial artists came here to mine all year round. These martial artists did not belong to any faction and were sandwiched between the local factions and the Chamber of Commerce in search of survival. Therefore, they often teamed up and huddled together.
Shou Wei was one of the more experienced wandering martial artists. Before coming to Nanfire City, he was only a peak Martial Lord. After staying here for more than ten years, he had long broken through to a six-star Martial Ancestor. Moreover, he had been stuck at this level for three years. He would probably be stuck there for the rest of his life. He also planned to mine for a few more years before finding a small faction and becoming an elder. Then, he could live out his retirement in peace and nurture his descendants.
As for the other three, one was short and fat like a big meatball, giving off a greasy feeling. He refused to reveal his real name and looked like a fatty. There was also an old man with a goatee. He wore a sloppy red robe and looked very wretched. The last one was actually a woman. She wore a simple palace dress and looked somewhat charming. However, she always had a cold expression and did not smile.
The three had been in Nanfire City for some time but had not seen the grand competition between the Bei Dou Sect and the Sky Scorpio Sect.
Soon, they entered the Bei Dou Sect's territory. Soon, they encountered the mountain protection formation and could not fly anymore. The five directly landed and walked.
A quiet stone path meandered upwards, and the surrounding spiritual energy pervaded the air.
The Bei Dou Sect was one of the strongest local factions in Nanfire City and occupied the best Earth Vein. Moreover, there were traces of fire element in the Spiritual Qi. Obviously, the Earth Vein contained Golden Fire Crystals, which was a great resource.
The five walked up and soon saw a pavilion. A few people from the Bei Dou Sect stood there, checking the identity of the passersby.
Shou Wei walked up and said respectfully, "So it's Elder Lu personally guarding this place."
A white-bearded old man with an extraordinary bearing was leaning against a rosewood chair inlaid with gold and jade, resting with his eyes closed. He had a lazy expression on his face. He turned a deaf ear to Shou Wei's words. His fingers were crossed in front of him, and his expression was still serene.
Shou Wei knew that his level was not high enough, and he was not worthy enough for Elder Lu to personally open his eyes to welcome him. He had experienced this kind of thing many times, so he was not surprised.
Li Yunxiao's Divine Sense gently swept over. The white-bearded old man was only a One Star Martial Venerable. However, he did have the right to put on airs in front of these Wu Zongs.
"So it's Shou Wei. Go in."
A middle-aged man in a yellow robe next to the old man waved his hand, signaling for him to pass.
Shou Wei passed right in front of them, and Li Yunxiao and the others followed closely behind him. However, their bodies suddenly froze as they were blocked by an invisible force. Their expressions changed slightly.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man asked coldly, "Who are the four of you?"
Shou Wei quickly turned around and explained, "Sir, the four of them came with me to watch the competition."
The yellow-robed middle-aged man said coldly, "Since they came with you, and they are unfamiliar faces, you should know the rules."
Shou Wei said, "Of course." He said to the four of them, "Those who cannot prove their identity must be sealed by the Big Dipper Sect before they can enter."
He saw that the expressions of Li Yunxiao and the others had changed, and said hurriedly, "Don't worry. The power of the seal can only last for three days at most. The Big Dipper Sect's Sect Competition will end in three days. During this time, the Big Dipper Sect will be in charge of your safety. You can rest assured. "He added," In the past, I had to be sealed every time. "
The yellow-robed middle-aged man said coldly, "Shou Wei is quite famous in Nanhuo City, so you don't have to be sealed. As for you unknown wandering cultivators, you must be sealed. Otherwise, you can go back the way you came. "
His aura pressed down as he spoke. His cultivation of a Three Star Martial Emperor immediately made the four's expressions change.
Li Yunxiao was speechless, but in order not to cause trouble, he also showed a panicked expression like the others. However, it felt awkward no matter how he looked at it.
Little Fatty heaved a sigh and said, "Alright, since that's the rule, I have nothing else to say."
The yellow-robed middle-aged man nodded and drew a few runes in the air, which then hit Little Fatty's body. A hint of panic flashed across Little Fatty's face, but it quickly returned to normal. The Martial Ancestor aura on its body was immediately extinguished. It was indeed sealed, and not a single strand of Primordial Qi could be squeezed out from its dantian.
Although the vulgar man with a goatee and the cold-faced woman were extremely unwilling, they still walked over and let the yellow-robed middle-aged man seal them.
Finally, it was Li Yunxiao's turn. Everyone's gaze fell on him.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man said coldly, "Go back if you don't want to be sealed."
Li Yunxiao sighed and said to himself, "I'll give it a try."
What troubled him was that the yellow-robed middle-aged man's sealing technique was very low-level. Even if he suppressed his strength, the yellow-robed middle-aged man might not be able to seal him. After all, he had cultivated the Tyrannical Body Tempering Technique and the Bright Moon Body. He could automatically resist ordinary external forces.
If he hadn't been sealed, he would have gotten into trouble.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid. Our Bei Dou Sect's unique technique is very advanced. It won't leave any side effects."
Li Yunxiao said, "… I'm a little nervous. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist. Put more strength into it."
The yellow-robed middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. Then he sneered and said, "It's useless no matter how you resist." He also drew a few runes and slapped them into Li Yunxiao's body.
Li Yunxiao only felt a strange power seeping into his body. It was immediately blocked by his physical strength and was about to be devoured. He hurriedly suppressed the power of his physical body and let the power flow through his meridians to his dantian. It turned into a paper-like seal and covered it. Only then did his aura of a five-star Martial Arts Great Master gradually disappear.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man was very satisfied. He waved his hand and said, "You can go in now. Shou Wei knows the way. Let him bring you in."
Li Yunxiao followed the four of them and continued to walk into the mountain range. Suddenly, he was slightly stunned. He could clearly feel that the elder surnamed Lu seemed to have opened his eyes. He used his divine sense to scan him a few times. After finding nothing, he dispersed.
After the few of them walked far away, the yellow-robed middle-aged man looked at the elder who had opened his eyes in surprise. He hurriedly went forward and asked, "Martial Uncle Lu, what's wrong?"
The elder surnamed Lu frowned and said, "That youth just now is indeed not even twenty years old. He actually has the cultivation of a five-star Martial Arts Great Master. Even in our Big Dipper Sect, I'm afraid only that girl, Mei Dong 'er, can compare to this level of talent."
The yellow-robed middle-aged man was shocked and said, "Not even twenty years old? I thought that he had changed his appearance and didn't check carefully. I heard that Junior Dong 'er has already reached six stars? "
Elder Lu slowly said, "After that girl was kidnapped, she returned on her own. She didn't say a word and didn't want to see anyone. She directly went into seclusion and waited for the start of the competition today."
A trace of darkness flashed across the yellow-robed middle-aged man's face and he said, "Could it be that Junior Dong 'er has already … has already been violated?"
Elder Lu raised his head and glanced at him. The yellow-robed middle-aged man hurriedly lowered his head. Elder Lu said, "That's not true. How can a virgin's body be hidden from the eyes of people like us? What everyone finds strange is how she entered the six-star realm after just one trip. Something must have happened. But since she doesn't want to say, then forget it. It's fine as long as she's fine. "
Elder Lu looked in the direction where Li Yunxiao and the others disappeared and said, "Go and find out more about that young man just now. If he's clean, try to recruit him into the Big Dipper Sect. If a genius like him can't join us, then …" He thought for a while and said casually, "Then let him stay as a five-star Martial Ancestor forever."
"Yes!"
The yellow-robed middle-aged man's heart shook and he hurriedly replied. A trace of fierceness flashed across his eyes.
Li Yunxiao and the others quickly went over a mountain. Suddenly, Little Fatty opened his mouth and said, "Shou Wei, you've been in South Fire City for so many years. Have you heard of the Northern Scorpion Sect?"
Everyone was stunned. Li Yunxiao also frowned and thought to himself, 'Northern Scorpion Sect, why is it such a strange name?'
Shou Wei was stunned. After thinking for a while, he said, "I've heard of it. I think the Bei Dou Sect and the Sky Scorpion Sect used to be one family, called the Northern Scorpion Sect. Later on, they split into two." He asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Little Fatty smiled vulgarly and said mysteriously, "Then have you heard of the treasure left behind by the Northern Scorpion Sect and why it split?"
Shou Wei said, "Many people know about the treasure of the Northern Scorpion Sect. It's not a secret. It's said that the Bei Dou Sect and the Sky Scorpion Sect split because of this treasure. However, this treasure has always been hidden in the mountains, and no one has ever seen it. "
Little Fatty smiled and said, "You're right at the beginning, but the last sentence … Hehe, if the treasure hadn't been opened, do you think the Bei Dou Sect and the Sky Scorpion Sect could fight against the Thunder Wind Merchant Guild?"
Everyone was shocked. Shou Wei's expression also changed greatly. He suddenly shouted, "Shut up! If you want to live, you should know what you can and can't say. I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't want to hear another word. If you say another word, please don't come with us anymore! "
Shou Wei had lived in South Fire City for the longest time. There was naturally a reason why he could survive until now. He had seen too many people suffer undeserved disasters, so he naturally knew some things about survival. One of the most important things was not to say what you shouldn't say, and not to meddle in things you shouldn't.
Seeing his intense reaction, Little Fatty chuckled awkwardly and didn't say anything else.
