"Oh, but let me tell you, senior, my master is the head of Xiaozhu Peak, Wuyouzi, who is a close friend of my master. He has lived in seclusion in the extreme north of the Pure Land Sect for many years. This time I am going to look for Senior Wuyouzi.
As for Uncle Li saying that Wu Youzi was my master, it was because he had seen me accompanying Senior Wu Youzi, and Senior Wu Youzi had never explained this in detail to Uncle Li.
Besides, with my current level of cultivation, I am outside the Wuliang Sect, so I am naturally very careful. I can’t explain why I met Master Li a few days ago.”
Li Yan spoke very fluently. He had already thought out all these words in his mind and filled in all the loopholes.
"Oh? So your last name isn't 'Jiang' anymore? You said you were going to Daning City...
Humph, now I understand. You went to Daning City not to buy anything, but just to get the teleportation array. It turns out that I have become your pawn without knowing it.
You don't have to worry about the whole journey. I have arranged all the transportation for you."
Hua Siwang was indeed a veteran in the martial arts world. Not only did he immediately guess the fake name Li Yan gave, he also quickly realized that he was being used by this guy.
He was extremely angry, but when he thought about the other party's background, he thought that if what this kid said was true, he was definitely not someone he could afford to offend. He could only snort coldly, not knowing where to vent the anger in his heart.
But soon he felt much better after hearing what Li Yan said.
"Senior Hua, I am not hiding this on purpose. After all, it is not easy for a young cultivator like me to travel outside. However, once my master knows about this, he will definitely keep it in mind."
Being able to make a Jindan from the Wuliang Sect owe him a debt of gratitude is more important to the cultivators from any sect other than the three major sects than giving him tens of thousands of spirit stones, especially since the other party's master seems to be the master of Xiaozhu Peak.
"Wei Chongran!" Hua Siwang suddenly remembered that he had been feeling fooled by a young monk, and the anger had been lingering in his mind, so he ignored some key factors in the other party's words.
He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, and then he let out a long breath. Fortunately, he was walking in the front of the team, so no one saw the shock on his face just now.
Hua Siwang felt that most of the anger in his heart had disappeared in an instant. His mind raced, and he immediately said in a voice transmission, "Come to the front!"
Others did not notice Hua Siwang, but Li Yan could tell from the slightly fluctuating aura of the other party that the other party must have believed most of what he said.
Especially after he said later that he would tell Wei Chongran about this, Hua Siwang's anger obviously subsided a lot. As for whether he would tell his master about this when he sees him in the future, that would depend on the situation.
For Li Yan now, telling lies no longer poses any psychological burden to him.
Then, he received a message from Hua Siwang asking him to come over. Li Yan smiled slightly in his heart. He knew what Hua Siwang meant. He wanted to find a reason for him to leave the team.
So, in the astonished eyes of Deng Lingtian and others, Li Yan quickly walked past the crowd and moved forward quickly. Of course, his sudden behavior was also noticed by other people in Hua Siwang's team, but they did not dare to ask, because Hua Siwang also turned his head slightly and did not intend to scold him.
Li Yan quickly walked to about ten feet away from Hua Siwang and stopped.
At this time, Hua Siwang saw where Li Yan was standing and felt disdainful.
"If I wanted to capture you, do you really think you could escape?"
But he didn't know that ten feet was Li Yan's minimum. He felt that he had to be alert at all times, now that he had refined one part of the "Immortal Phoenix" blood essence into his flesh, and with the help of the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique.
Although it is impossible to dodge such a close-range attack, if I resist, the opponent will be cautious and will not be able to kill me in one move. I can definitely use the force to fly to the foot of the mountain on the other side.
In the eyes of many people, Hua Siwang turned and looked sideways towards the Wuliang Sect on the other side of the square. He moved his lips slightly as if he was whispering something to Li Yan, and then turned around and walked forward again.
In the eyes of others, this seemed like Hua Siwang was instructing Li Yan to do something. Given Hua Siwang's status here, everything was normal.
In fact, Hua Siwang didn't say anything. He just moved his lips randomly a few times.
If this kid is really bold and reckless, and doesn't care about his own life and really wants to amuse himself, and he is not a cultivator from the Wuliang Sect, then if this matter gets out, I will lose face and be fooled by a little cultivator for no reason.
Now that he was transmitting a false message, others didn't know what he was saying. Even if the thing he least wanted to see happened, he could immediately find other reasons to kill Li Yan. The rest of the reasons could not be made up by himself.
With all this preparation, Li Yan respectfully bowed to Hua Siwang's back, then leisurely left the team and slowly walked to the other side.
His actions made many people in the team look envious or jealous. The slightly fat monk Zhou and Deng Lingtian were even more surprised, "How could this monk Jiang easily persuade Senior Hua? This is really weird."
Deng Lingtian looked at Li Yan walking towards the Wangliang Sect, then looked at Hua Siwang in front of him who didn't seem to be stopping or waiting, so he lowered his head and began to think.
No matter what they thought, Li Yan finally achieved his goal.
On the other side, as Li Yan continued to approach the foot of the mountain where the registration point of the Wuliang Sect was gathered, he gradually attracted the attention of the people here. Although this situation was still something Li Yan didn't want to see, it was the least noticeable way Li Yan could do at the moment, and it was better than having the eyes of the entire square looking at him.
However, there were hundreds of people in front of Zhu Gaotai and his men, all of whom were busy registering, and for a moment no one looked up and paid attention.
And when Li Yan was less than thirty feet away from Zhu Gaotai and his men in the front, he not only felt many curious gazes, but also several sharp gazes as sharp as swords piercing Li Yan.
This made Li Yan feel as if he was carrying a heavy mountain on his back. His pace slowed down, his body began to stagnate, and he had difficulty moving.
These sharp glances were sent by the three Jindan cultivators who were leading the team. Among these three glances, one was filled with murderous intent, while the other two were filled with a hint of mocking interest.
The one who had murderous intentions towards Li Yan was the Jindan cultivator who was standing at the foot of the mountain with his hands behind his back. He was the cultivator that Zhu Gaotai and others were registering.
Li Yan quickly understood what the other party meant. This Jindan regarded him as a fool, a cultivator who wanted to cut in line, while the two Jindan behind him thought there was something to watch and were probably thinking about it in their hearts.
"Haha, where did this kid come from? How dare he cut in line here? This is clearly a slap in the face of the leader in front."
Seeing that the Jindan man in the front had raised his eyebrows and was about to open his mouth to scold, Li Yan spoke first.
Li Yan was also helpless. It was originally a very small matter. He just wanted to return to the sect, but now it has become more and more troublesome.
He couldn't let the Jindan open his mouth, because if he did, he would definitely scold him, and then everyone in the square would notice this place. In the end, no matter what, he would attract everyone's attention.
Li Yan is the type of person who would rather no one knows him so that he can hide in the dark. This makes him feel safer.
So he hurriedly spoke first, but kept his voice within an appropriate range, "Senior Brother Xia, Senior Brother Zhu, after not seeing you for so many years, you are still as charming as ever. I am honored to meet you."
While speaking, Li Yan turned around and stopped looking at the golden elixir at the foot of the mountain. Instead, he bowed to the ten monks from the Wuliang Sect.
As soon as Li Yan said this, the first people to be shocked were the three Jindan, especially the one who was standing with his hands behind his back at the foot of the mountain. He was about to shout at them, but when he heard the words from this little cultivator of unknown origin, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this person was familiar with the cultivator from the Wuliang Sect.
Although the cultivators from the four major sects who were in charge of registration were only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, no one dared to look down on them. Even the Jindan team leader had to think carefully about what he said, fearing that these registered cultivators would say bad things about him behind his back.
The Jindan cultivator who was standing with his hands behind his back at the foot of the mountain stopped shouting, but his eyes were still looking Li Yan up and down. He saw that Li Yan's clothes did not show that he was a member of the Wuliang Sect, so his first reaction was that this person might be here to make friends with the cultivators of the Wuliang Sect.
Not only the three Jindans thought so about Li Yan's action, but everyone who saw Li Yan's action also thought so. This kind of thing would happen whether in the mundane world or among immortal cultivators.
This caused a sour feeling in the hearts of many monks. "I don't know how this person happened to know the monks of the Wuliang Sect here. Now he is desperate to come forward and curry favor with them. This person is too eager for gain."
They all knew the pride of the disciples of the four major sects. Although they seemed to be kind and courteous to others, in fact, they were all arrogant. All the cultivators who were accepted as disciples by the four major sects were once the pride of the sect.
Therefore, next, the monk who greeted the other party might be "politely" asked to go back by the other party. After all, this is where official business is being handled, not the time for you to come here for a private chat.
Many cultivators were waiting here to watch the fun. The three Jindan cultivators were sneering in their hearts when something unexpected happened as they were watching.
The ten monks from the Wangliang Sect who were awakened by Li Yan's shouting looked up, all looked up at Li Yan. First, "Senior Brother Xia" looked at Li Yan with a puzzled look. For a moment, he felt that this person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Li Yan's appearance has changed the most in recent years, and he happened to leave the Wuliang Sect during this period.
He had been living a secluded life before, and not many people could see him often, so for a moment "Senior Brother Xia" was unable to match the person in front of him with the former Li Yan, and he just felt that this person's face was somewhat familiar.
When everyone was stunned, the first person to react was Zhu Gaotai. He and Li Yan belonged to the same generation of young talents and they had also interacted in the battle in the secret realm arena.
Especially in the secret realm later, it was Li Yan who saved their lives, so they were more familiar with Li Yan than others.
"Brother Li, Li Yan?"
He couldn't help but let out a soft cry, but he paused at the beginning and hesitated at the end.
That’s because although Li Yan’s cultivation was not high enough before, his master was a Jindan master, so he always called Li Yan “Uncle Li”.
Just now, he almost called out "Uncle Li" unconsciously. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and remembered that he had also established his foundation. He changed his words in time, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.
"Are you... Li Yan?" At this time, "Senior Brother Xia" on the side finally connected the person in front of him with the once taciturn little cultivator amid Zhu Gaotai's hesitation.
