Chapter 212 Let’s take a gamble!

"Master, may I ask your name?" Zhang Yuan followed behind Li Ye and asked cautiously.

"You can call me Mu Dao Ren." Li Ye glanced at him and said.

Although he knew that any disguise of his would be exposed in front of the powerful, in this world with immortals and gods, he instinctively concealed his information.

Wooden Taoist?
How do you dress like a Taoist priest?

Zhang Yuan glanced at Li Ye and complained in his heart, but did not dare to speak.

He had seen many practitioners. The disciples of famous and upright sects were bound by sect rules, so it might be okay to offend them. However, independent practitioners were the most unreasonable, and most of them were extremely narrow-minded. If you offended them, you might lose your life.

If a small person like him dies, will there be no place to seek justice?

Moreover, some independent cultivators would develop some unorthodox methods to collect human souls, making it impossible to file a complaint in the underworld.

Therefore, most people would rather offend the disciples of famous sects than offend independent cultivators...

……

"Master Mu, please drink your tea and wait here. I'll go in and pass the message." Zhang Yuan led Li Ye to the side hall and said respectfully.

"You go first." Li Ye smiled with a gentle expression.

His perception was all-pervasive, and in a short while, he had figured out the names of several people inside.

The two men and one woman from Longhu Mountain are Luo Xiuyong, Qi Xingze, and junior sister Shen Lan;

A man and a woman from Qingyun Sect, Ding Jie and Lu Ying;
As for the two independent cultivators, one is called Master Gao, a sixty-year-old man; the other is called Sang Feng, a middle-aged man in his forties...

The cultivation level of the disciples from famous and upright sects is obviously lower than that of the independent cultivators, but the status of the independent cultivators is not as high as that of the young disciples from famous and upright sects, so they have to be cautious when talking to them.

Although the magistrate treated everyone equally on the surface, his attitude was obviously much warmer when speaking to Luo Xiuyong and others.

Zhang Yuan went in to report.

Upon hearing that another wandering cultivator had come, Luo Xiuyong and the others unconsciously revealed a look of annoyance on their faces.

The magistrate observed Zhang Yuan's expression and said calmly, "Since you are here, please come over and discuss matters with us. Later, you can remove the notice outside the city!"

He twisted his beard, looked at Luo Xiuyong and the others, and flattered, "With a few immortals here, I think that little evil spirit will be easily captured..."

"Yes, sir." Zhang Yuan took the order and left. He wanted to point out that the county magistrate Li Ye was different from others, but he didn't say it out loud in the end.

A moment.

Zhang Yuan led Li Ye to the meeting room.

The moment Li Ye appeared, the air in the conference room seemed to be still.

Luo Xiuyong and others looked at Li Ye at the same time, and after just one glance, they couldn't take their eyes off him anymore.

The two female practitioners, Shen Lanyi and Lu Ying, stared at Li Ye intently, holding their breath. After a while, their faces turned red automatically.

The two casual cultivators, Master Gao and Sang Feng, looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

Master Gao even snorted softly and closed his eyes. It must be said that Li Ye was too young and looked more like a nobleman.

At the age of twenty, if one does not have a master and relies on one's own understanding, at best he is just a beginner in practice, a useless person. Maybe after understanding some superficial knowledge, he will come out to eliminate monsters, totally unaware of the immensity of the world.

Luo Xiuyong and the others immediately looked away, not hiding their disgust for Li Ye.

As practitioners, their images are not bad, but compared with Li Ye, they are as dim as the stars next to the bright moon.

Especially since their junior sister's eyes were about to drill into the other party, it made them feel a sudden sense of crisis and they were thinking about how to trick Li Ye in the future.

Li Ye took in everyone's expressions and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Mu greets County Magistrate Zhao."

County Magistrate Zhao hasn't spoken yet.

Luo Xiuyong interrupted him: "Who dares to come here to exorcise demons? Taoist Mu, who is your master? How high is your cultivation level? How dare you call yourself a Taoist?"

"That's right, is there a Qi Refining Level?" Qi Xingze frowned, "We don't want to carry this burden with us on the road."

"Brother." Shen Lanyi wanted to speak for Li Ye, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Luo Xiuyong: "Junior sister, the way of cultivation should be to restrain oneself and return to propriety, and not be confused by appearances. If we take such an embroidered pillow with us to fight monsters, I am afraid he will drag us down..."

“Little brother, exorcising demons is no joke, go back to where you came from!” Ding Jie from Qingyun Sect looked at Li Ye and shook his head, “Don’t try to exorcise the demon and end up losing your life instead.”

"Fellow Daoist Ding is wrong." Sang Feng suddenly laughed. "The most difficult part of catching a monster this time is to find out where the monster is. This Taoist monk Mu is handsome, and the monster is also beautiful. It's not bad to use him as bait..."

"Fellow Daoist Sang is right." Master Gao glanced at Li Ye and twirled his beard.

The magistrate looked at the people mocking Li Ye and said nothing.

A casual cultivator in his early twenties coming here to catch monsters is no different from a swindler. Maybe even the county captain of police can't beat him. It really looks down on him as the county magistrate.

……

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Li Ye shook his head slightly. The cultivation atmosphere in this world is not good!

They are all jealous of each other, flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. How can they behave like a noble and upright family?
What Longhushan disciples are not as good as the Qingyang Sect in the previous world. At least the Qingyang Sect disciples in the previous world were friendly and helpful to each other. Before he appeared, the atmosphere in the cultivation world was very positive...

Snapped!
A crisp slap in the face.

Luo Xiuyong covered his face and looked stupidly at Li Ye who seemed not to have moved, with a confused look on his face!
Snapped!
Another slap in the face!

This time it was Qi Xingze's turn to cover his face.

Next came Ding Jie and two independent cultivators...

Then, the magistrate was thrown from the main seat to the middle of the hall. In a flash, Li Ye was already sitting in the main seat, looking at everyone with a smile. "You dare to hit me?"

Luo Xiuyong came back to his senses, his eyes turned red in an instant, and with a point of his finger, the flying sword had already pierced Li Ye's throat.

Ding!
There was a crisp sound.

Li Ye pinched the flying sword between two fingers.

Luo Xiuyong tried his best but couldn't move the flying sword at all. He was horrified and wanted to retract the flying sword, but his face turned red and the flying sword remained motionless.

"What's wrong with hitting you? Considering your behavior of being so blind and ignorant, a slap in the face is the least of your worries." Li Ye glanced at Luo Xiuyong and pressed down lightly with his fingers.

He slammed Luo Xiuyong's flying sword onto the table, cutting off the connection with its owner.

puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Luo Xiuyong's mouth, and he staggered back a step: "You...what are you doing..."

"What's wrong with me?" Li Ye smiled and looked around at everyone, "Robbery, hand over all the valuables on you."

"..." Everyone was stunned.

Master Gao had the highest level of cultivation and was slapped in the face for no reason. He was furious and when he saw Luo Xiuyong taking action, he stood up and wanted to join in the action. However, he was dumbfounded when he saw that Luo Xiuyong's flying sword was caught by the other party's two fingers. He looked at Li Ye, not knowing whether to sit or stand.

"We are short-sighted and have offended you, senior. We are willing to apologize to you." Ding Jie said with a gloomy face, "But please let us go. In the future, we will bring our seniors to apologize."

"Are you sure you want to apologize and not seek revenge?" Li Ye smiled at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't hand it over, you will be in trouble when I try to steal it."

"Senior, we are from Longhu Mountain." Qi Xingze said.

"I know." Li Ye smiled, "There are two people from Qingyun Sect over there. I am a well-known petty person. If you didn't provoke me, nothing would happen. But now you have angered me. If I don't bleed, I won't get through this level..."

"Since you know about Longhu Mountain, why do you have to make things difficult for us?" Qi Xingze said with a sullen face, "Aren't you afraid of Longhu Mountain's revenge?"

"When did Longhu Mountain only have one mouth left?" Li Ye looked at him mischievously and said, "If you don't accept it, just attack me. I can give you a chance to attack together."

"..." Qi Xingze was speechless and looked around.

Ding Jie of Qingyun Sect shook his head slightly at him.

Qi Xingze clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, "Senior, can you let us go if we hand over the valuables?"

"No!" Li Ye shook his head.

"I call you a senior because I respect you. Don't go too far." Qi Xingze was immediately angry. "Do you really dare to kill us?"

boom!
Li Ye stretched out his hand and pressed down.

Qi Xingze knelt straight on the ground, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

Then, the silver, flying sword, talismans, pills, and even clothes on his body flew to Li Ye one by one.

After a short while, only a piece of underwear was left.

Qi Xingze wanted to struggle, but the meridians in his body seemed to be imprisoned, making him unable to utter a word.

Seeing this scene, everyone around was dumbfounded.

"Yuan...Nascent Soul stage?" Master Gao stuttered.

Li Ye smiled at Master Gao and said, "Good vision."

After he practiced "Spiritual Official Secret", he regressed from the Hedao stage to the Yuanying stage. Unexpectedly, this guy could judge it, and I don't know how he saw it.

"Senior Mu, please give me some space so that we can meet again in the future. Why do you have to humiliate us?" Ding Jie gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said, "My master is Zeng Yu Zhenren. Please give my master some face."

"Zeng Yu, I don't know him." Li Ye shook his head and said, "I am a casual cultivator, I am used to doing whatever I want, and I rely on my strength to speak. If you can beat me, I will naturally give you face. If you can't beat me, no matter who you are, face will be useless. Do you want to take it off yourself, or do you want me to help you?"

"I..." Ding Jie glared at Li Ye.

"As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you won't be short of firewood." Li Ye laughed, "You are showing off your ambition and I beat you to death. Even if your master can avenge you, what can you do? You won't survive!

I am a casual cultivator, I don’t seek to ascend to immortality, I just want to enjoy myself for a day. You are a disciple of Mount Longhu, you have a bright future, it would be so depressing to die here…”

That makes sense!

Ding Jie wanted to argue, but he didn't know where to start. Finally, he closed his eyes in pain and said humiliatingly: "I'll take it off..."

"What about you guys?" Li Ye turned to Master Gao and the others and asked, "Would you like to fight with me?"

"It's our shortsightedness." Master Gao sighed and looked at the cynical Li Ye. He really couldn't find any reason to fight against a Yuanying realm cultivator, so he resigned himself to his fate and handed over his magic weapon and clothes.

"Senior Mu, do we have to take off our clothes too?" Lu Ying and the other two female practitioners asked tremblingly with red faces.

"You can keep one or two more pieces of clothing. I am relatively tolerant towards women." Li Ye looked at them and said with a smile, "But you'd better be obedient. Otherwise, you will be held down by my spiritual power and you won't be able to decide how many pieces to take off..."

"..."

Lu Ying and the other person looked at each other silently.

At this moment, the little bit of good impression brought by Li Ye's appearance was instantly destroyed. They glared at Li Ye fiercely, took off their clothes one by one and put them on the ground.

Everyone handed in their belongings and stood in a row silently, waiting for Li Ye's arrangements, each of them feeling uneasy.

The magistrate stood aside without saying a word.

Li Ye looked around at everyone, showed the dice cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, now all your things are mine. Next, let's gamble! Every time you win against me, you can redeem one thing..."
