Lou Xiaoyi roughly explained what had happened, leaving the three speechless. Finally, he picked up the cloud-patterned bead and handed it over.
"I don't know the person, and I didn't get anything from the corpse. This bead is his natal instrument. Take a look and see where it came from."
The three looked at it one by one, but they were at a loss of what to do. They were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, only a few decades older than Lou Xiaoyi. There wasn't much difference between them. Dharma cultivators' instruments all looked the same, so there was no way to tell which Dao they belonged to. As for Foundation Establishment Dharma cultivators, just the Three Pure Ones alone had tens of thousands of them, more than the Swordsman. How could they be sure?
Finally, Guang Bei handed the bead back to him and said gently, "Little Junior Brother, take this bead first. When there's a chance, let the elders in the sect take a look at it. Maybe they'll be able to tell. Actually, it doesn't matter. I, Xuanyuan, kill enemies in the Fifth Ring. I don't care which Dao they belong to. What's the difference?"
Yan Bo snorted, "Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. If you keep guarding Spear Point Town, sooner or later, someone will come looking for trouble with you. Everything will be clear then! But before you kill someone, you should at least get some basic information first, right?
If you can't beat them, don't be stubborn. It's not shameful to make a sound! "
That was the gist of the situation. The two Inner Swordsmen didn't have the slightest intention of getting to the bottom of the matter. In fact, within the Inner Swordsmen, this kind of thing happened everywhere. Who would have the patience to look into it?
Guang Bei coughed lightly and said, "Junior Brother Yan, it's like this. Half a year ago, three people from the Red Summit High Mountain Tribe came to the dome. They claimed to be the tribe leader and requested permission to enter the Western Regions cultivation world. The higher-ups agreed. After tens of thousands of years, some grudges have long been forgotten. There's no need to guard against small tribes.
However, considering that there are hundreds of tribes in the Wolf Ridge, I'm afraid that the Red Top Tribe isn't the only one with this wish. Since they have the intention, I, Xuanyuan, don't mind taking the initiative. Therefore, we sent out a mission to contact the tribes in the Wolf Ridge and find out their general intentions so that the sect can make an overall judgment … "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded submissively. Beside him, Yan Bo interjected, "To put it simply, the Wolf Ridge High Mountain Tribe will leave the mountains sooner or later and integrate with the Five Rings Cultivation World. They will either come to our Western Regions, or go to the Southeast Regions or Erhai. Therefore, we have to act before those guys at Wolf Ridge do. How many people do they have? How many cultivators could they produce? But this was momentum! I can't lose to them! If the Gaoshan Tribe has a hundred clans, Xuanyuan will have at least fifty one. We can't lose the support of the people, understand? "
Did he have nothing better to do? Lou Xiaoyi complained in his heart. Wasn't it better to let people choose? Everyone was safe and sound, and the well water did not interfere with the river water. Why did they have to compete with each other like primary school students? What was power? To put it bluntly, it was face! The upper echelons cared about face, but the lower echelons had to run errands. These three unlucky fellows deserved to take on this mission. They had plenty to worry about!
With a solemn expression, he said, "The sect has great foresight. Senior Brothers, you are truly the role models of my generation. Junior Brother's status is low, and my shoulders are narrow. I can't bear such a heavy burden. I can only give my blessings from afar. I wish for victory and success!
Here, Junior Brother will drink tea in place of wine. Cheers! "
He raised the teacup in front of him and drained it in one gulp. He looked extremely emotional. It was as if he was sending people on a journey that was bleak and cold.
He was very self-righteous. These three obviously wanted to start with the Red Summit High Mountain Tribe so that they could smoothly ask him about the situation …
However, none of the three Senior Brothers and Sisters raised their cups. Yan Bo raised his head to look at the clouds with a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth. Yan Cheng closed his eyes and lowered his head. His iceberg-like face was exceptionally cold, as if he was extremely angry that his Junior Brother from the External Sword Sect was so afraid of anything.
Only Senior Brother Guang Bei was still smiling. "The four of us have taken on this mission. We are going to take a look at the dangers of the Wolf Ridge and see if it can stop my Xuanyuan's sword!"
Lou Xiaoyi's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad premonition and forced a smile.
"Four? Haha, so there's a Senior Brother who I don't know which hero he is? Is he the vanguard? Or is he in charge of logistics? "
Yan Cheng could not help but say, "I'm afraid he can't be considered a hero. All four of you are here! But from what I see, Junior Brother, you want to be the vanguard? "
Lou Xiaoyi shook his hand and said, "I'm in charge of logistics. I have experience. I can't be the vanguard. I'm dizzy with directions and can't distinguish between north, south, east, and west! … That can't be right. I didn't apply for this mission! Xuanyuan's missions are all voluntary. It's not good to force people to join. I just came to the Fifth Ring and am unfamiliar with the place. My realm is low and I'm not strong enough. Why, why did you find me? "
Guang Bei said gently, "The three of us did join willingly, but an elder told us that you played a huge role in the submission of the Red Summit High Mountain Tribe. You must be familiar with the High Mountain Tribe, so you were recommended to join us. It just so happens that Junior Sister Chuang is lacking an external sword partner, so …"
Lou Xiaoyi was indignant. "The Red Peak High Mountain Tribe surrendered willingly! I didn't do anything! It's them who can't live anymore! They came to the Western Regions because their tribe's land is closer to here! If the High Mountain Tribe's settlement is closer to the Southeastern Regions, they will definitely surrender to Peerless. It's a reality. I don't have the ability to pull them over … "
Guang Bei's smile was still the same. "See, don't you know the Wolf Ridge very well …"
Lou Xiaoyi wanted to cry but had no tears. He realized that the more he tried to explain, the worse it would get. "Can I not go?"
Seeing the three of them staring at him, he knew that he couldn't refuse, so he tried his best to come up with an excuse.
"Senior Brothers and Sisters, look, Mao Tip Town isn't peaceful. Murders happen from time to time, and the transmigration merchants there never stop coming. Who knows what they're thinking? We need someone to keep an eye on them!
Also, the stone tower's formation is precious. If no one looks after it and it gets destroyed … "
I promised to give lectures to the town's dojo. They need me to cut the ribbon for the newly opened official residence … "
Yan Bo interrupted, "I saw that a new Green Restaurant opened in town. Did they invite you to try it out?"
Lou Xiaoyi choked heavily. He could see that these three people were like tortoises eating weights. They were determined to drag him down with them!
Guang Bei continued to speak softly and slowly, "Junior Brother Yan is truly a responsible person. You are very meticulous in your considerations. However, it is only a bunch of clowns. Even if they were placed in the Western Regions, they would not be able to make any waves. It is better for us to not get involved in the affairs of the mortal world. As for the stone pagoda array that you mentioned, rest assured that no one would dare to touch it. After Junior Brother Guang Gu left, you took over.
Go pack up. We'll set off in an hour! "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled bitterly. "Aren't we going to rest for a night before leaving?"
Yan Bo exclaimed softly, "Sword cultivators of our generation must cut through all obstacles without fearing danger! What's there to rest for? "" Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
