Godly Immortality: Start with the Butcher and add some Immortality!

Chapter 687: Jindan Family invites you to a fight!
"Are you Fellow Daoist Wei Hong?"

The two deacons came to Wei Hong, and the middle-aged man on the left asked with a smile.

Of the two deacons, the one on the left who spoke was older. He was dressed in a grey brocade robe, with his hair tied up with a white jade hairpin. He looked somewhat extraordinary.

The one on the right was younger, and seemed extremely curious about Wei Hong. Even after he came in front of him, he kept looking at him.

Wei Hong frowned secretly, but a smile appeared on his face. He bowed and asked, "It is me. What are your names? Is there anything you need from me?"

"My surname is Cao, my given name is Hang, and this is my cousin Cao Zhen."

Cao Hang introduced himself first, and then answered: "I came to see Brother Wei this time because I do have something to discuss. I wonder if Brother Wei can have a word with me for a moment?"

Cao Hang deliberately looked around, indicating to Wei Hong that this was not the place to talk.

Wei Hong was very curious at this time. Why did these two people come to find him?
What's more, this was the first time he met the Cao Hang brothers today. He had never dealt with them before, let alone knew them. Therefore, the fact that Cao Hang and his brother could come to him directly must be something unusual.

According to Wei Hong's principle of being cautious, he should not have agreed, but he didn't want to offend Cao Hang and the others in public, so after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, how about going to the side hall next door?"

"Of course, no problem. Please come in, Brother Wei!"

Seeing Wei Hong nod, Cao Hang's face lit up and he hurriedly led the way.

The three of them went straight to a side hall that was empty and after closing the door, it became a more private place.

At the moment, there was no one else in this side hall except the three of them. Cao Hang looked at Wei Hong with a smile on his face and said, "Haha, this matter should not be discussed in front of outsiders. If it is abrupt, I hope Brother Wei will not blame me!"

As he spoke, Cao Hang bowed politely.

Wei Hong waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Hey, Fellow Daoist Cao, you are too polite. I am just a little confused. I don't know why you two are looking for me?"

He didn't want to beat around the bush with Cao Hang and the others, so he asked directly.

But Cao Hang did not answer his question immediately, but asked: "Before answering your question, I would like to ask you one more question. I wonder if you have ever heard of the Nanxi Cao family?"

After saying this, Cao Hang stared at Wei Hong with burning eyes.

Wei Hong seemed slightly surprised when he heard this, and immediately asked, "The Nanxi Cao family you mentioned is the Jindan family that settled in Nanxi Mountain, the Cao family?"

He was no longer a novice in cultivating immortals. Even though he had stayed in the spiritual plant garden for a long time, he had heard of some news, such as some of the more famous cultivating immortals families near Cangshan Immortal City.

Among them, the Cao family is one of them.

Moreover, the Cao family is known to the outside world as a Jindan family with considerable power. The entire family settled in Nanxi Mountain near the Cangshan Fairy City, and occupied many spiritual fields and mineral veins in the surrounding area.

Wei Hong had only heard of the name of the Cao family, but knew nothing about it.

When Cao Hang and the other two saw that Wei Hong had heard of their family's name, a hint of complacency and pride flashed in their eyes, but Cao Hang hid it well, while Cao Zhen next to him could be seen at a glance. Cao Hang smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is the Nanxi Cao family. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Wei has also heard of our family's name. Haha, if that's the case, then Cao will say it clearly."

"The reason I came to see Fellow Daoist Wei this time is actually because I want to ask for your help. As long as you agree, our Cao family will reward you handsomely afterwards!"

"You're looking for my help?" Wei Hong was surprised and asked immediately, "Your Cao family is a Jindan family. I heard that they are very powerful. There should be a lot of people in the family who are stronger than me, right? Why did Fellow Daoist Cao leave so many masters behind and only look for me?"

This was exactly what puzzled Wei Hong. He couldn't understand how a cultivator in the early stages of foundation building could help the Cao family.

However, Cao Hang seemed to have expected this. He immediately replied, "Daoyou Wei, you are wrong. Although you are only at the second level of foundation building, your combat power is not bad. You have never lost in a sparring match with others. This is extremely rare among cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. Not everyone can compare with you."

He first complimented Wei Hong, and then continued to explain: "This time, I came to ask you to fight, actually, I want you to have a fight with someone. As long as you can defeat your opponent, our Cao family will reward you handsomely!"

After listening to this, Wei Hong frowned and asked, "Ask me to fight with others? Fellow Daoist Cao, what do you mean by this? It would be better if you could explain it more clearly. I really don't understand!"

Seeing that Wei Hong would not agree without asking clearly, Cao Hang and Cao Zhen looked at each other, and then Cao Hang explained: "It is like this, our Cao family and Guangning Tang family have agreed to have a battle at Dangyan Mountain in half a month. This battle is related to the ownership of a mine, so our Cao family is determined to win it."

"And this time the battle is divided into three rounds, divided into the three realms of foundation building, the initial, middle and late stages. We came to find Brother Wei because we want to ask Brother Wei to represent our Cao family in the battle of the initial stage of foundation building."

"As long as Fellow Daoist Wei can agree, feel free to ask for any conditions!"

At this time, Cao Hang appeared to be extremely generous and easy to talk to.

But his words made Wei Hong make a decision in his heart instantly.

Obviously, the Cao family must have known from his previous sparring sessions that his fighting ability was very good, which was why the Cao family took a fancy to him and asked him to act on their behalf.

However, Wei Hong did not want to interfere in the interest disputes between the two Jindan families, so as not to offend others.

That’s right, the Guangning Tang family that Cao Hang mentioned is another Jindan family!
At this point, he didn't even need to confirm with Cao Hang, he knew clearly that this was absolutely not possible.

After all, as long as he agreed, no matter whether he won or lost in the end, he would offend one of the parties. How could Wei Hong agree to such a thankless task?

What he feared most was being confronted by these things, and at this moment he wished he could just turn around and leave.

Therefore, Wei Hong pondered for a moment, then shook his head and refused in the expectant eyes of Cao Hang and the others, saying: "Fellow Daoist Cao, I'm really sorry, I'm going to retreat and practice hard recently, and I don't want to be distracted by other things, so please find another candidate!"

He refused very tactfully and found a very appropriate reason.

After all, one's own cultivation is much more important than other things. No matter how great the other benefits are, how can they compare to the improvement of one's own cultivation?
As soon as these words were spoken, Cao Hang and the other two were immediately filled with surprise and astonishment.

Cao Hang immediately said anxiously: "Daoyou Wei, you can delay your retreat for a while. This fight won't take up too much of your time. I hope you won't refuse!"
