The female disciples who had bad intentions towards me started fighting among themselves

After all, the current master is just a rookie in the Nascent Soul stage - if you look at it from the perspective of your previous life.

It's so funny, there's no way to escape.

Wen Youqing and Luo Li looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

We must not let Master be captured and taken back to our sect!

After all, they are now living in hiding in order to avoid those senior and junior sisters who have been reborn like them. They don't want to go to Zhongzhou because there are too many people there and they might run into a bad woman who has bad intentions towards their master, which would be very embarrassing and difficult to resolve.

But if I return to the sect...

No matter which senior or junior sister, they all know the location of the sect.

Wen Youqing and Luo Li could already imagine the days when their door would be blocked every other day.

There is an old saying that goes, people always like to compromise. For example, if you say that you want to go to Zhongzhou, Wen Youqing and Luo Li will definitely not allow it. But if you insist on returning to Qiu Shui Sect, then they will come to compromise and be willing to go to Zhongzhou.

So, Wen Youqing changed the subject.

"Master, I suddenly feel that going out to gain experience is a good thing. It can not only broaden our horizons and enrich our experience, but also give us a chance to see a wider world."

Having said that, he did not forget to mention Luo Li to prove that this was not just his idea.

"Xiaolu...Sister Luoli, what do you think?"

"I think Sister Youqing is right."

Luo Li nodded, agreeing: "It's really good."

The scripture says: “???”

What's going on? He looked so reluctant a few seconds ago, why is he so enthusiastic now?

It's hard to guess what a woman is thinking...

22. Change of plan, meeting tonight

Zhongzhou.

Located in the very center of the Three Mountains, Five States and Seven Peaks.

To the east is Dongsheng Shenzhou, to the west is Xilinghezhou, to the north is Beijuluzhou, and to the south is Nanposozhou.

The Taoist fire in Dongsheng Shenzhou is relatively strong, but there are many sects, and it is very crowded.

Xiling Hezhou is mostly inhabited by strange people with bodies of exotic beasts, with cat girls and dragon girls everywhere. It is a place that some perverts particularly love.

The Northern Julu Province is relatively cold and bitter, and has been plagued by wars for years, while the Southern Posa Province is the base camp of the Demon Cult and is fraught with dangers.

Therefore, Zhongzhou has become the place with the largest number of cultivators, and is also the most prosperous and lively place on the continent.

Jingyan's strategy for this trip is to live in peace with the world and be a nobody, understand the three-year agreement first, and then eat and drink, just as if he is taking his apprentice on a trip.

That's what he originally thought.

At least when he entered Shenzhou City, everything was normal, until -

"Name?"

"Li Tiezhu."

"What are you doing?"

"Participate in the Trial Conference."

A burly man scratched his head and said with a silly smile.

The monk who was recording the list didn't even raise his head, but waved his hand and pointed at the disc in front of him.

"Put your hands up."

As the man placed his hand on the disc, a stream of light air filled with pure spiritual energy slowly condensed in the center of the disc and transformed into five faint spots of light.

"In the middle stage of foundation building, you can participate in the C-level martial arts trial. This is your ID card. Take it and enter the city."

The monk who was recording the list spoke expressionlessly, like a social animal drained by heavy work, as if he had no interest in anything else in the world except getting off work and getting paid.

At the back of the crowd, three pairs of eyes took in the scene before them.

"Master, they want to check qualifications and names, what should I do?"

Wen Youqing tugged at the corner of Jingyan's clothes and asked in a low voice.

At this time, only seven days had passed since Jingyan decided to escape. In these short seven days, Jingyan traveled tens of thousands of miles a day, and the sparks of his flying sword were almost flying out. The second half of the journey was due to fatigue driving. Fortunately, no one in the world of immortal cultivation has made laws against fatigue driving of flying swords, otherwise Jingyan would have spent the rest of his life in a cell.

"We are not wanted criminals, why should we be afraid of this?"

Jingyan asked in confusion.

"Is such that--"

Wen Youqing said what he had discussed with Luo Li: "Master came to Zhongzhou to avoid the sect and the master, but if he becomes famous in Zhongzhou and causes a stir, wouldn't it be like walking into a trap and inviting a wolf into the house?"

After saying that, she remembered that her current character was just an innocent girl, and she didn't forget to stick out her tongue to act more realistically:

"Well... I was just talking casually, don't mind it, Master."

This is all the strategy of Wen Youqing and Luo Li.

In Zhongzhou, a high-risk area where many talented people appear, you might bump into your senior sisters from your previous life just by taking a few steps.

Since you can't escape, then minimize the impact and presence, hide your identity, and stealthily complete what you need to do, trying to pass through the flowers without getting a single leaf on you.

After hearing Wen Youqing's words, Jing Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Indeed, one of his goals in coming to Zhongzhou was to avoid being caught by his master and taken back to the sect, but the fact that he was discovered by his master even in a remote town before was enough to show that Qiu Shui had unimaginable numbers of spies.

Not to mention that this is in Zhongzhou, where there are so many spies that even Jing Yan can't help but become alert when he sees a dog peeing on the side of the road.

So, Jing Yan sighed.

"Youqing is right. It seems that I must hide my identity for a while."

His cultivation level could not be concealed for the time being, and Jing Yan had not practiced any special skills that could change his appearance, so he could only start with the most basic name and see if he could do something with it.

So, the current scene happened -

"Name?"

Looking at the long line behind, the monk who was recording identities could not help but denounce his superior's exploitation and became more and more excited.

"Xiao Huohuo."

It was a very common name, nothing new. The monk was as lazy as ever. He pointed to the round plate beside him and asked symbolically:

"Put your hands up. What are you doing in Zhongzhou?"

"travel."

A gentle and pleasant voice was heard. The monk who was recording the identity looked at the slender hand with distinct knuckles placed on the disc. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, wanting to take a look at the other person's true face.

But suddenly, the originally dim and lifeless disc suddenly swallowed up spiritual energy from all directions at a rapid speed, gathering at the center and condensing into a pure spiritual root without any impurities.

"Heavenly Spiritual Roots!"

But that’s not all. In that exquisite disc, one after another, exquisite spots of light condensed and lit up.

Qi training, foundation building, elixir formation, golden elixir...

Finally, fifteen bright spots of light condensed, which was the symbol of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Wow! The cultivator who was recording identities couldn't help but gasp. This talented young man, who was comparable to the masters' disciples in all the big sects, would actually report to enter the city through him. It was really a shame.

Why have I never heard of the name Xiao Huohuo?

Could he be the secret successor of some hidden sect?

With the mentality of only eating one hand of the melon, the monk could not help but raise his head, wanting to take a look at the other person's appearance.

Then--

I saw a handsome young man who was as gentle as jade, with sword-like eyes and star-like eyebrows. He looked like a fairy from heaven. His delicate facial features were flawless and perfect to the extreme.

“Scripture…Scripture words?!”

He couldn't help but shout in surprise.

The scripture says: “???”

How do you know I am Jingyan? Isn’t my disguise obvious enough?

I even changed my name!

He quickly denied it: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"No way, you are!"

At this moment, the indifferent monk seemed to come to life and took out a copy of Zhongzhou Morning Post published today from his arms.

When you open the first page, you are greeted by huge ink words occupying the front page headlines.

"Shocking! Qinglan Sword Sect's Sword Master Mu Yunning announced that he would participate in this trial meeting. His target turned out to be that man. What kind of grudges and hatreds are there? Pay attention to Zhongzhou Morning News. The reporter will continue to follow up on the report for you."

"The swordsman of the Qinglan Sword Sect battles against the peerless genius Qiu Shui. It is a fateful rivalry, and the poignant love story between them is a pity."

"In our interview, Mu Yunning admitted that she loves and hates Jing Yan, and wants to have a second child as soon as possible."

At the very bottom of the newspaper, there was a picture of Jingyan when he was a teenager. It was obvious that it was a private collection of those old guys in the sect. They were fanning the flames and trying to force Jingyan out and then capture him back to the sect.

The scripture says: “???”

Damn it, what’s going on? Was I opened?

By the way, who is Mu Yunning? Why don’t I have any impression of her?

Who is spreading rumors about him? ! !

......

......

At the same time, Luo Li and Wen Youqing, who were following behind Jing Yan, showed expressions of despair.

"Is this what you meant by asking the master to remain incognito?"

"Who would have thought that Master would really just change his name when he changed his real name? Who the hell could have thought of that?"

Luo Li couldn't help but swear, her heart broken.

Then, the two girls looked at each other again, remembering their alliance which was in name only.

They nodded in understanding.

"There's a change of plan. We'll have a meeting tonight."

23. Good words cannot persuade the damned ghost

In the early morning, the streets in the city gradually became lively.

The steaming wonton stall, the sweet and fragrant dessert shop, and the hot and freshly cooked beef soup.

Although there are many monks in Zhongzhou City, most of them are ordinary people. They maintain the bustling and vibrant atmosphere of a prosperous capital.

Mu Yunning strolled along the bluestone street.

Three days ago, she arrived in Zhongzhou City. After briefly understanding the competition system of the trial conference, she began her long wait.

Dongsheng Shenzhou is not a bitter and cold place, but within the Qinglan Sword Sect's sphere of influence there are no such bustling towns that gather delicacies from all over the world.

Mu Yunning dealt with long swords and monsters every day, and had never seen such a prosperous market.

Besides, she had no interest in these earthly delicacies.

It's just nutrients to maintain life. How can it be as light and free as the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth?

As Mu Yunning thought about this, she took a bite of the steaming purple sweet potato glutinous rice cake that had just come out of the pot with her cherry-like mouth.

Really fragrant.

Suddenly, a woman in a green dress rushed up and in the blink of an eye she was in front of Mu Yunning and asked loudly:
