I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2217: Invitation from the Array Sect

"Your Majesty, the Array Sect has sent an invitation." Chu Liuying walked steadily to Liu Jun's side and respectfully handed over a heavy golden invitation with both hands. It was engraved with intricate and mysterious array patterns, and it was shining with dazzling light.

You don't need to look at anything else. Just from the materials used in the invitation, you can tell that the inviting party is very powerful.

When Liu Jun heard the word "Zhen Zong", his brows raised slightly. The figure of Emperor Long Ao and Elder Zhang Jin who had been a guest at the Palace of the God King immediately appeared in his mind.

Long Aodi, the guy who once fought side by side with him and experienced the thunder tribulation together, is now the leader of a sect.

Although Zhang Jin was an enemy at first, the two sides have since put aside their past grudges and have become somewhat friendly. Therefore, Liu Jun has more of a desire to be friendly and cooperative with the Zhen Sect.

What's more, the Zhen Sect is located in the core territory of the Platinum Divine Realm, and its influence cannot be underestimated.

As the Platinum God King, it is his responsibility to maintain good relations with the major forces in the territory. After all, he is now in a state of external trouble. The Wasteland Alliance is eyeing the north covetously. Although it has calmed down recently, who knows if they will launch another attack.

Under such circumstances, internal troubles must never occur.

And if a big force like Zhenzong was willing to lend a hand, Liu Jun felt that at least during the battle, the casualties among his ordinary soldiers could be greatly reduced.

"Well, the leader of the Zhen Sect is about to abdicate, and the new leader, Long Ao Di, will take office, so this invitation was sent." Seeing Liu Jun staring at the invitation, Chu Liuying explained softly on the side.

Liu Jun gently took the invitation and studied it carefully. The words on the invitation were formal and solemn, revealing the importance that Zhenzong attached to the new leader and the sincere invitation to Liu Jun, the God King. The general idea was that they hoped Liu Jun could come to Zhenzong in person to witness this historic moment and celebrate together the fact that Long Aodi had ascended to the position of leader.

The invitation was not signed with a specific name, but simply had the four words "Master of the Zhen Sect", but it was enough to make people feel the sense of honor.

Liu Jun raised his lips to a faint smile, his eyes gleaming with a playful light: "Emperor Long Ao is now the sect leader? Then let's go for a stroll."

His words were relaxed and casual, yet revealed his strong interest in the invitation.

If he had a choice, he would rather go to the North to lead troops to fight, but in his current state, even if he wanted to go, no one around him would agree, especially Yan Li.

Fortunately, when he said that he wanted to take a stroll in Zhenzong, Yanli just frowned and didn't say anything, let alone say anything against it, still leaving him enough face.

This also made him feel a little relieved, at least he could go out for a walk. If he really stayed in the Palace of the God King all the time, he would definitely go crazy.

Chu Liuying frowned slightly when he heard this. He knew Liu Jun's personality and temper. He knew that wherever Liu Jun went, he would follow him if there was an accident or danger.

But he also knew that Liu Jun had been bored from refining pills during this period, so it would be good for him to go out for a walk. Mainly, he knew that Liu Jun was not a man who could sit idle.

"If Your Majesty really wants to go to Zhenzong to attend the ceremony, I suggest you take Senior Shui Yuexin with you." There was a hint of earnestness in Chu Liuying's voice.

Although he didn't know what was wrong, he always felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.

Liu Jun frowned slightly and looked into the distance with deep eyes, as if he was weighing something.

"No need. I have acquaintances in Zhenzong, and the northern border is not very stable yet. It is more appropriate for Shuiyuexin to go to the northern border to guard it. She can play a greater role there and ensure the peace of the border."

Chu Liuying heard this, and a trace of worry flashed across his face. "Your Majesty, safety is the most important thing. Although the relationship with Zhenzong is good, the situation has been complicated in recent days. I really can't rest assured that you will go alone."

Liu Jun sighed, as if he was moved by Chu Liuying's persistence. "How about I take Yao Guangxiao and the others with me? Boss Yao is breaking through to the Quasi-God King Realm, and his strength is enough to deal with some emergencies. Besides, they are all my good brothers and are trustworthy."

Chu Liuying's expression eased after hearing this, but he was still a little worried. "Okay, but your majesty, you must remember that if there is any emergency, you must evacuate immediately and don't put yourself in a dangerous position. Your safety is the foundation of the country."

Liu Jun waved his hand, a helpless smile on his face. "Okay, okay, stop nagging like an old lady. I know what's going on, and I'll be careful about safety. You should arrange your trip quickly, don't have too many people with you, and travel light to avoid attracting unnecessary attention."

Chu Liuying had a bitter look on his face. He didn't want to appear so fussy, but as a subject, protecting the safety of the God King was his primary responsibility.

It was just that Liu Jun's decision could never be changed by others. He could only shake his head helplessly and began to prepare for the trip, silently praying that the trip would be safe.

In the following days, Chu Liuying carefully planned the itinerary and selected dozens of the most elite guards to accompany him.

Liu Jun was dealing with important matters in the Divine Realm while preparing for his trip to the Zhen Sect.

Finally, on a moonlit night, Liu Jun, Yao Guangxiao, Tiger, Ape Man and dozens of guards, set out on the journey to Zhenzong. They traveled light, quickly crossed the night and headed for their destination. Chu Liuying stood on the wall of Shenwang City, watching their backs gradually go away. His heart was full of worry and expectation, hoping that Liu Jun could return safely, but also worried about the unknown risks ahead.

"Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to go to the Zhen Sect?" There was a hint of confusion and surprise in Tiger's voice.

Liu Jun smiled slightly, patted Lao Hu's shoulder, and said, "Brother Hu, do you have to be so formal with me? You guys can just call me Liu Jun. Actually, I went to the Zhen Sect to learn more about their array formation research. After all, the art of array formation is profound and extensive. Perhaps I can gain some inspiration from it and improve my array formation skills."

Tiger nodded after hearing this, but then frowned again: "I understand, but aren't we a little dangerous? After all, you were chased by two Quasi-God Kings some time ago, which was quite dangerous. I don't think we can easily stop two Quasi-God Kings."

Hearing this, Liu Jun's eyes flashed with confidence, and then he grinned and said, "It's not dangerous, I have my own arrangements. I have made full preparations and will not let what happened last time happen again."

At this time, Yao Guangxiao slowly spoke: "Before setting off, I did a divination. Although this journey is dangerous, there are great opportunities hidden in the danger. Perhaps, this is our chance to break through ourselves and achieve greater growth."

Hearing this, Liu Jun turned to look at Yao Guangxiao, with a hint of gratitude and respect in his eyes. He knew that Yao Guangxiao's divination skills were extraordinary, and since Yao Guangxiao said so, this trip must have been fruitful.

"Boss Yao, thank you. With your advice, this wave is stable." Liu Jun said, his face full of trust and gratitude towards Yao Guangxiao.

However, Yao Guangxiao just smiled bitterly, that smile seemed to hide endless helplessness and confusion. He shook his head slightly and did not respond.

His divination skills were well-known in the martial arts world and were extremely accurate. But whenever he used this skill on Liu Jun, it always failed.

The secret of Liu Jun seemed to be tightly wrapped in a mysterious and thick fog. Whether it was the past or the future, it was like looking at flowers in the fog, blurry and unclear, unable to get a glimpse of it at all.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Liu Jun suddenly turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and looked at a short guard not far away with sharp eyes.

Although the guard was wearing a mask, revealing only his eyes, Liu Jun recognized her at a glance. She was his godsister, Xu Baoer.

Although he didn't know how Xu Baoer followed him or why, he was sure that the short guard was Xu Baoer.

Because these guards are all top-notch masters, carefully selected by Chu Liuying from the Jihuo Army. Each of them is a strong man above the level of a thousand-man captain, and none of them has a bad physique. The strong men in the army are all good at physical training. It cannot be said that all of them are bodybuilding coaches, but they definitely have muscular bodies.

And Xu Baoer is particularly obvious here, just like an adult and a child.

Hearing Liu Jun's call, these strong guards silently separated and retreated like the tide, revealing Xu Baoer.

Xu Baoer knew she was exposed when she saw it, so she could only take off her mask, revealing a pretty face with curiosity and surprise in her eyes. She quickly walked to Liu Jun and whispered, "Brother, how did you recognize me?"

Liu Jun grinned and said, "You are so small that you only reach the chest of other guards. Don't you think you are more conspicuous among such a group of tall people? And the medicinal fragrance on your body can be smelled from two miles away."

"Brother, you are still smart." Xu Baoer stuck out her tongue with a playful smile on her face. She then turned around and greeted Yao Guangxiao, Lao Hu and others enthusiastically.

Her movements were natural and smooth, and it was obvious that this was not the first time she had met these people, and they had already established a deep friendship with each other. Especially Tiger, when he saw Xu Baoer, his eyes sparkled with a kind light, as if he had seen his own sister, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Little girl, why did you follow us out? This trip to the Zhen Sect is no joke." There was some concern and blame in Lao Hu's tone, and it was obvious that he didn't want Xu Baoer to be involved in this journey that might be full of dangers.

Hearing this, Xu Baoer blinked mischievously and replied, "I'm here to protect my brother and make him fulfill his promise to me."

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, with a look of curiosity and confusion in his eyes. He then turned to look at Xu Baoer and asked, "What promise?"

Seeing this, Xu Baoer showed a proud smile on her face and slowly took out a red bellyband from her arms. The bellyband was exquisitely embroidered, but the shape was quite peculiar, and it was obviously not an ordinary thing. She gently shook the bellyband in her hand and said, "This is it."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the red bellyband.

After a long while, Liu Jun sighed deeply, shook his head helplessly, and then turned to Yao Guangxiao and others to explain: "This thing is Ximen Bisheng's magic weapon. Baoer doesn't like the shape of this magic weapon. She thinks it is too different and does not conform to her aesthetic taste. So she wants me to help her refine it and change its appearance."

Yao Guangxiao and the others had a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces when they heard this. They looked at the red bellyband in Xu Baoer's hand with some teasing and laughter in their eyes, obviously amused by the innocence and mischief of this little girl. Xu Baoer looked at them innocently, as if to say, "What's the big deal?"

This sudden episode not only broke the originally dull atmosphere, but also made the relationship between everyone more harmonious. They smiled at each other, continued to move forward, and started their journey to the Zhen Sect.
