Chapter 495: Heading South (I)
The gray-robed old man's words made Hua Siwang feel a chill in his heart, but he was a little suspicious the next moment. Why hadn't he heard that this fellow Daoist Li had met such a powerful cultivator before?
But then he thought about it and knew what the other party meant. This was to intercede for the boy in front of him and let him think clearly before he touched his sect.
But how could Hua Siwang really give up such a good opportunity to make a fortune just because of the other party's words? Moreover, he was more skeptical about Li Siwang having such a powerful friend, so Hua Siwang also replied with a hint of disdain.
"Oh, then thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother Li, but any cultivator who cultivates in the Desolate Moon Continent cannot be exempted under the 'Conscription Order'. I am also following orders, right?"
When the gray-robed old man heard this, he knew that the other party did not believe what he said, so he simply waved his robe sleeves, looking casual like Hua Siwang.
Anyway, he had already lost face for this kid today and had done his best. This was an extremely unusual thing for a cultivator, but now he had not received any benefit from the other party.
It was okay to talk just now, but it was not worth it for him to give up more face. As for the possibility that Hua Siwang might offend a powerful cultivator, he didn't care. Since Hua Siwang didn't give him face, he hoped that Hua Siwang would suffer a big loss at the hands of the mysterious cultivator.
He could only shake his head gently at Li Yan and said no more.
Li Yan finally saw the old man shaking his head, and he was finally relieved. Otherwise, if he teleported back, he didn't know how many days it would take to return to this area.
As for being "recruited" by this big man, he didn't worry too much in his heart. He just cooperated on the surface and showed a nervous look.
Li Yan had carefully seen Hua Siwang's cultivation level in secret, which was the middle stage of the Golden Core. Li Yan knew that he was far from being this man's opponent, but if he wanted to escape, he still had some confidence.
He knew from the conversation between Hua Siwang and the gray-robed old man that the eight foundation-building cultivators behind Hua Siwang were also recruited cultivators. With so many cultivators, could Hua Siwang really always focus on him? If he took the opportunity to escape halfway, Li Yan felt that he had at least a 60% chance of success.
After the gray-robed old man finished speaking, he really walked to the side and no longer cared about the situation here. It was just that he happened to stand in front of the teleportation array illusion, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the entrance of the teleportation array, which obviously showed that he was very wary of Hua Siwang.
Hua Siwang didn't expect the gray-robed old man to be so straightforward. He originally wanted to use words to draw out more information from the other party, but the other party actually ignored it directly.
And looking at the expression on the gray-robed old man's face, he really didn't worry that he would force the young cultivator in front of him to go to the sect. There was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Hua Siwang hesitated for a moment. The cultivators who could cultivate to his level had developed suspicious personalities along the way, and Hua Siwang was no exception.
The dangers he had experienced were simply countless. Some of them were overcome by strength, but many times they were overcome by luck and a split second of judgment.
He turned his head again suspiciously and looked at Li Yan. Although he could see that Li Yan was a little nervous, he also saw a hint of expectation in Li Yan's eyes. Although Li Yan hurriedly lowered his head when he looked at him, he still did not escape Hua Siwang's keen observation.
"Expectation? What is this kid expecting? It seems that he has communicated something with that old guy." Hua Siwang became more suspicious, and then a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.
"This kid is expecting someone to save him. Could it be that the 'Wuyouzi' that the old guy said is really so powerful that even if they know my cultivation level, the other two are still fearless.
They just want me to take the opportunity to take this kid back to the sect as soon as possible, where he has his backers and his support. Humph, whether it is true or not, at least it is not easy to get money from the sect..."
Hua Siwang quickly figured out a link, that is, this kid's master may really be a fake infant cultivator. If I really go to find my roots...
Thinking of this, Hua Siwang began to feel cold on his back. Although he claimed to have extraordinary cultivation, when he met a master above the late Jindan stage, there was no other possibility except being taught a lesson or directly dying.
Maybe the other party was concerned about his identity as the "Pure Land Sect's Recruitment Envoy", and being taught a lesson was still a light punishment, but the personalities of some cultivators could not be inferred by common sense at all.
After thinking through all this, Hua Siwang no longer dared to go to the door to recruit as he said before, but he would not give up so easily.
His eyes rolled, and he thought, "No matter how powerful your master is, can he dare to be stronger than the four major sects? I just need to capture this kid and take him to the gathering point. Once I report the matter, stronger cultivators will come.
And with the friendship between this old guy and that person, the message should be passed on soon. If the fake infant cultivator dares to show up at that time, the result will be even more wonderful."
Thinking of this, Hua Siwang suddenly smiled and bowed to the gray-robed old man.
"Brother Li, I still have responsibilities to fulfill. These cultivators need to be sent to the gathering point as soon as possible. Without the special order from above, your nephew will inevitably have to go there.
I hope Brother Li will explain this to your friend. In such a serious situation, I can only
I will follow orders, otherwise if it gets out, I won’t be able to report to the higher-ups. ”
The grey-robed old man had seen Hua Siwang’s hesitation from the side. He also saw that Hua Siwang was used to taking advantage of others and would not give up because of all the concerns.
But what he said just now still played a big role. Hua Siwang obviously didn’t dare to go to Jiang Hai’s sect, so he recruited Jiang Hai first. In the future, Jiang Hai’s sect will also be grateful for this great favor.
He also nodded indifferently, “Junior Brother Hua, please do as you please! Nephew Jiang, you’d better find a way to let Master Tongling know, so that he won’t forget your whereabouts. "
He said the first half of the sentence to Hua Siwang, but then he looked at Li Yan. He had done his best. He couldn't really ask Li Yan for the address of his master's sect and then run over there himself.
Let's not talk about whether people would believe him or not. If he could leak the address of his master's sect to him, even if he really gave it to him, would he really have to humble himself and become an errand boy just to make friends with another cultivator? That was absolutely impossible. Only if the other party was a Yuanying cultivator would it be worth his doing so. ??
The nervousness in Li Yan's eyes slowly turned into panic. He stammered, "This... I... still have to go to Daning..."
Hua Siwang's face sank, and he said in a cold voice, "Friend Jiang, now that the demons are invading, our generation of cultivators should rise up and kill the enemy. Otherwise, everyone wants to hide in a remote place and find a safe place to practice. Then, how can the eggs be safe when the nest is overturned?
By then, I'm afraid there will not be an inch of peace in the entire Desolate Moon Continent. Do you know? "
Hua Siwang's words were righteous and made some sense, but his real thoughts were not known to outsiders.
Under Hua Siwang's burning gaze, Li Yan could only make a bitter face in his trepidation. After bowing to the gray-robed old man, he flew up to the giant sword in the air with a listless look.
At the moment of flying on the giant sword, Li Yan clearly saw that some of the eight foundation builders had cold eyes, some were gloating, and only a few had a kind of helplessness and sympathy in their eyes.
Most of the immortal cultivators can't stand others being better than themselves, so naturally they hope that others will experience the same situation as themselves, otherwise God will be too unfair to them.
Hua Siwang said. He turned around, bowed to the gray-robed old man from a distance, and then stepped onto the giant sword in one step. The sword shone with white light and flew away quickly.
"Uncle Li, if the master of fellow Daoist Jiang knew about this, I wonder if he would..."
Just as Li Yan and his ten companions flew away, some of the cultivators below asked the gray-robed old man.
They were on duty here, and they had heard the previous conversation between the gray-robed old man and Li Yan. Of course, they knew Li Yan's background.
Then they thought of that powerful cultivator. If he knew that his disciple was forcibly recruited, the result would be bad. If they were still guarding here, they would inevitably get into trouble again.
"Shut up. If I hear anyone talking about this again, I will kill you first. "The old man in gray was already angry because Hua Siwang didn't give him face just now.
Now, hearing the people below talking again, he immediately shouted coldly, and then the cold aura on his body was born again, which immediately made the six monks silent, and they dared not say the first half of the sentence.
Li Yan sat alone in a remote corner on the blade of the giant sword, while Hua Siwang stood in front of the giant sword without saying a word, facing the wind, and didn't even look at anyone behind him, let alone pay attention to these young monks.
The giant sword was as fast as lightning, and Li Yan felt that its speed was only slightly slower than when he was fully urging "Piercing Cloud Willow", but the difference was not too much.
It was even more incomparable with his own use of "Phoenix Soaring to the Sky". Li Yan was confident that in a dozen breaths, if he used "Phoenix Soaring to the Sky", he could throw the big man at least 70 miles away.
But as long as he was not in battle, Li Yan would not use "Phoenix Soaring to the Sky" at all. The distance of more than 70 miles is not very meaningful to a Jindan cultivator, almost equivalent to nothing.
The other eight people all came from the same sect "Huangxuan Valley", so they ignored Li Yan at all, and occasionally they lowered their heads to say a few words.
In Li Yan's opinion, these eight people were obviously worried and had no more thoughts to talk, let alone come up to Li Yan to talk and trouble.
In this way, Li Yan was happy to be free. He seemed to be nervous and hid in the corner alone. In fact, he was always observing the surrounding situation and looking for the right time. At that time, he would use the "stealth night hiding" technique to escape.
At the same time, with Li Yan's powerful consciousness that was several times stronger than that of the cultivators of the same level, he could naturally eavesdrop on the conversation of the eight cultivators without any detection.
"Third Brother, do you think we are going to the "Lingyun Gate" to gather? "
A handsome young man was talking in a low voice with two monks beside him, with an uneasy look on his face.
"Ninth Junior Brother, you have rarely gone out to practice since you started practicing. This direction is not the destination of 'Lingyunmen'. 'Lingyunmen' is in the southwest direction, and our current direction is due south and a little east.
Although I don't know where this is going, it is definitely not the 'Lingyunmen'. Maybe the assembly point is somewhere else."
