In the backyard of the Pillar of the State General's Estate, Yue Qianchou reclined on a wooden armchair, munching on snacks and sipping tea. After waiting for some time, Shi Xiaotian excitedly returned with a few letters and placed them on the table.
Yue Qianchou was going to the Western Military Camp, so he wanted to deliver a letter to Shi Xiaotian's family. In fact, the Shi family had never stopped sending letters to the Western Military Camp. However, they didn't dare to write anything too profound. After all, the Supervisory Department of a country wasn't just a nobody, especially when it came to a general like Shi Wenguang who had a powerful army.
Yue Qianchou finished the last melon seed in his mouth, then clapped his hands and took out a jade archive. He placed it on the table and said, "The things inside are beneficial to you. I'll be taking my leave first." He then stood up and kept the letters on the table. Shi Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, if you have nothing to do, come often!" Unfortunately, his Boss was nowhere to be seen.
In the Western Military Camp, the army was training hard. Their shouts shook the heavens as they prepared for war. Sitting in the middle of the camp was a large tent. Loud laughter could be heard, and the atmosphere was very lively. Shi Wenguang sat behind his desk, toasting with the four sword-bearing cultivators who sat on either side of him. The topic of their conversation was none other than Yue Qianchou.
Several guards in the tent were also listening attentively. They were none other than the people Yue Qianchou had sent to protect Shi Wenguang. As they were listening, they suddenly realized that someone else had appeared beside them. They were shocked and were about to make a move, but they saw that it was Yue Qianchou. Just as they were about to greet him, Yue Qianchou waved his hand, signaling for them to be quiet. He then crossed his arms and continued listening to the conversation outside.
Outside the tent. Shi Wenguang held a cup in his left hand and made an inviting gesture with his right. He smiled and said, "Immortal Li, Immortal Zhao, Immortal Qiu, and Immortal Wu. I am very grateful that the four of you can come and talk about interesting things in the cultivation world with me. Come! Let's have another toast, Immortal Masters. "
"General, you're too polite!" Immortal Master Li wiped his mouth and asked with a smile, "Why is the general so interested in Yue Qianchou? Every time we come, the general always asks about Yue Qianchou. Could it be that the general has some relationship with Yue Qianchou?"
"Immortal Master Li must be joking. Although I have a large army under my command, I'm just an ordinary man. How could I have any relationship with Yue Qianchou? I'm afraid that even if I wanted to climb up the social ladder, he wouldn't be interested in an ordinary man like me!" Shi Wenguang laughed heartily.
"General, there's no need to belittle yourself. You're a high-ranking official in the secular world. How can you be compared to the cultivation world? Not to mention the fact that Yue Qianchou is a general, even if we wanted to curry favor with him, I'm afraid he wouldn't even look us in the eye, "Immortal Master Wu shook his head and sighed.
Shi Wenguang waved his hand and said, "Immortal Master Wu must be joking. You four Immortal Masters are experts who can fly in the sky and travel through the earth. Anyone would look favorably upon you. If I were to guess, you Immortal Masters are just unwilling to get involved in the struggles of the cultivation world! "
"Brother Wu, you must have drunk too much! That Yue Qianchou is just a scum who was expelled from the sect twice. Why should we let him look us in the eye? " Immortal Master Zhao's expression was a little unhappy. The four of them relied on their status in the cultivation world to interact with the Pillar of State General and often came here to eat and drink for free. How could they say such demeaning words? Wouldn't that be a great loss of face?
The guards in the tent all looked at Yue Qianchou. They only saw a faint smile on Yue Qianchou's face. He remained unmoved and closed his eyes to listen. No one knew what he was thinking.
Shi Wenguang's expression stiffened. He naturally knew that the guards in the tent were sent by Yue Qianchou. He really didn't know how they would react after hearing this. After waiting for a while, Shi Wenguang raised his cup and smiled. "Immortal Masters, please don't stop. Let's drink!"
After they drank, Immortal Master Qiu asked the others, "Have you heard? It's said that Yue Qianchou led six hundred experts and fought with the Da Luo Sect in Wanghai Town. I wonder if it's true?"
The guards in the tent looked at the person in question in surprise. A cold smile appeared on Yue Qianchou's face. He thought to himself, 'And here I thought it was some bullshit Immortal Master. If they can't even figure out this kind of thing, then it goes without saying that they're all useless people.'
"That madman is capable of anything." Immortal Master Li shook his head.
Shi Wenguang immediately became spirited. He straightened his back and asked, "Immortal Masters, can you tell me in detail what happened?"
Immortal Master Wu smiled bitterly and said, "I have heard of this matter. Yue Qianchou led more than six hundred people and fought with the Da Luo Sect's one thousand people in front of all the sects. It was an intense battle to the death."
"What was the result?" everyone asked in unison.
"The result is unbelievable." Immortal Master Wu shook his head. "The Da Luo Sect, ranked second among the righteous sects, suffered a crushing defeat. Only a few dozen of their one thousand people were left. On the other hand, Yue Qianchou only lost two hundred people. The most shocking thing was that Yue Qianchou was able to fight against two late stage Tribulation Transcendence experts by himself. In the end, it was the two late stage Tribulation Transcendence experts who suffered a loss. "
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped. They didn't care about the one thousand people who died. What they cared about the most was the fact that Yue Qianchou defeated two late stage Tribulation Transcendence experts by himself. For them, late stage Tribulation Transcendence experts were the pinnacle of experts. Immortal Master Zhao, who previously ridiculed Yue Qianchou, twitched and asked, "Brother Wu, is this news fake?"
"It can't be fake. I heard it personally from a disciple of the Da Luo Sect. He wouldn't fabricate a scandal about our sect." Immortal Master Wu said with a breath that reeked of alcohol.
The scene immediately became silent. Shi Wenguang's eyes flickered with excitement. Yue Qianchou didn't lie to him. Since he had the ability to fight against the Da Luo Sect, it was only a matter of time before something big happened. He immediately raised his cup and said, "Immortal Masters, please!" Then he drank the cup to show his respect.
Immortal Master Zhao clearly felt that he had lost face. After putting down his cup, he snorted and said, "I think this news is probably fake. Think about it. I heard that Yue Qianchou is only at the Nascent Soul stage. How could he defeat two late stage Tribulation Transcendence experts from the Da Luo Sect by himself?"
Everyone looked at each other. After all, they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, so it was hard to say. Even if they said it was fake, they had heard many people talking about it. If they said it was true, it was indeed unimaginable.
"What if it's true?" Someone in the tent suddenly laughed. Shi Wenguang was slightly surprised. This person's voice was too familiar.
Sure enough, Yue Qianchou lifted the curtain and slowly walked out. He secretly gave Shi Wenguang, who was about to speak, a look to indicate that he should not speak. He stood beside Shi Wenguang and cupped his hands towards the people below. "I am a cousin of the Great General. I heard Immortal Masters talking about it and couldn't help but come out to join in the fun. I hope Immortal Masters won't mind." As he spoke, he looked at the people around him. They were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet they dared to come to his territory and pretend to be experts. They simply didn't know what was good for them.
The four people looked at Shi Wenguang in confusion. The latter nodded and said with a smile, "Immortal Masters, please don't be suspicious. He is indeed my cousin." Hearing this, the people around him relaxed.
"What? The Great General's cousin is also interested in the matters of the Cultivation World? " Immortal Master Zhao shook his head and said, "Then let me test you. Do you know how many sects there are in the Cultivation World? How many righteous sects and how many demonic sects? "
"There should be at least a few hundred!" Yue Qianchou said after thinking for a moment. He discovered that up until now, he really couldn't figure out how many sects there were in the Cultivation World.
"Yes!" Immortal Master Zhao shook his head. He was very dissatisfied with his vague answer. He then asked, "Then do you know how many Loose Cultivators there are in the Cultivation World?" The other three Immortal Masters also looked at Yue Qianchou with smiles. It seemed that they were bored drinking and wanted to use the Great General's cousin to liven things up.
Damn it! These questions really stump me! Yue Qianchou frowned and said, "Nowadays, there aren't many Loose Cultivators in the Cultivation World who are presentable. I don't care how many there are."
As soon as he said this, the four Immortal Masters' expressions immediately changed. Immortal Master Zhao slammed his wine cup on the table and shouted angrily, "Little brat, you're making irresponsible remarks. If it wasn't for the Great General's face, I'd definitely teach you a lesson today."
Shi Wenguang, who was sitting in the middle, was speechless. You guys talked about Yue Qianchou for half a day. Now Yue Qianchou is standing in front of you, but none of you know him. I wonder who was it that said he was someone who drank with Yue Qianchou.
Yue Qianchou was stunned and said, "What? Are you Immortal Masters also Loose Cultivators? "
Immortal Master Zhao said loudly, "That's right. We four are Loose Cultivators in the Cultivation World. Although we don't join any sects, we are still free and unfettered."
"The Cultivation World is filled with Loose Cultivators. It can be said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are countless experts. How can an ordinary person like you know about them?" Immortal Master Li reprimanded.
Immortal Master Wu and Immortal Master Qiu looked at each other and felt that something was wrong. This kid was so rude in front of them, how could Shi Wenguang not care? Immortal Master Wu then asked in a probing tone, "Little brother, from what you said, do you know Loose Cultivators in the Cultivation World?"
"I do know a few." Yue Qianchou added in his heart. I've already killed all those I know. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Oh! That's right, I know someone called Hong Ming. His cultivation is not bad among Loose Cultivators, barely reaching the early stage of Tribulation Passing. He was the one who told me about how few Rogue Cultivators are presentable. I wonder if the four Immortal Masters know him? "
This was the only name he could think of. Back when the rogue cultivators pushed him to be the representative, the bearded man named Hong Ming was his staunch supporter. Unfortunately, he was accidentally killed by him.
"Hong Ming?" The four Immortal Masters were speechless. Hong Ming may not be much in Yue Qianchou's eyes, but he was one of the top figures among Loose Cultivators. He was not someone the four of them could come into contact with.
Shi Wenguang glanced at Yue Qianchou. Seeing that he was still humbly asking for advice, he felt a chill in his heart. This guy was clearly trying to mess with them. Forget it, it's not his turn to speak. I might as well drink my own wine.
The four of them looked at each other. Immortal Master Zhao asked with a guilty conscience, "Little brother, what is your relationship with Hong Ming?" He had already changed the way he addressed him from a yellow-haired kid to a little brother.
