A moment later, the door creaked open slightly, and a pair of wary eyes peeked out.
“Monkey, is that you? Who are they?”
A deep voice sounded from behind the door.
“Brother Leopard, here’s someone I found who wants to join us. He’s got some tough guys.”
The young cultivator, nicknamed Monkey, lowered his voice, “He brings abundant gifts; he is truly interested in doing something big.”
There was silence for a moment inside, then the door slowly opened, and a sturdy man with a scar on his face stepped aside: “Come in, hurry up.”
The inner courtyard was extremely spacious, and within it was a hidden world that was well preserved and had faint traces of array fluctuations, isolating the atmosphere and sounds from inside and outside.
Some scattered cultivators were meditating or cleaning their weapons in the corners of the room. When someone came in, they all glanced at that person intently.
The scarred man, Brother Leopard, led them through the front yard to the quieter back yard.
A tall woman wearing light blue clothes stood in the yard, her back to them, looking at a group of green bamboo.
The woman slowly turned around, revealing a beautiful but fierce and proud face, with sharp eyes like a hawk, and her cultivation level was clearly at the fourth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm.
“Boss, Monkey brought two people with him, he said they want to join us,” Leopard said respectfully.
The woman’s gaze swept across David and Ming Li, stopping for a moment on David.
David purposely hid his cultivation level, while Ming Li’s fifth-grade Great God cultivation was not completely hidden, so this combination seemed a bit strange.
“Who are you? Why are you looking for us?”
The woman spoke, her voice cold and clear.
The monkey hurriedly stepped forward, bent over and sniffed: “Sister Lianxing, these two seniors want to ask about the Jade God Palace and the Divine Clan, especially about the matter at the Fallen Soul Slope some time ago. They offered a very high price. I don’t think they are spies, so”
The woman named Lianxing’s eyes turned cold as she interrupted the monkey: “Are you interfering in the affairs of the Fallen Soul Slope? Monkey, you are increasingly clueless about the rules.”
The monkey trembled with fear.
David stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, “Brother Daoist, please don’t blame him. I’m David, and this is Ming Li. We’re asking about the Slope of Fallen Souls because the two people who were beheaded were likely my old friends.”
“This enmity is irreconcilable. There is no return for me, the Jade Immortal Palace, and the divine race behind it. I heard that there are like-minded people here, so I came to pay them a visit. I am not here to spy, but simply to cooperate.”
Lianxing looked at David, as if trying to understand the truth from the look in his eyes.
David’s gaze was calm, and even though he tried his best to suppress the deep sorrow and cold killing intent, a trace of it still escaped, making Lian Xing, who had experienced the battle of life and death, feel a slight chill.
“Words are not proof.”
Lianxing said calmly, “Who knew you were the bait sent by the Jade God Palace to lure us out? We have lost quite a lot of brothers recently.”
“We can make a vow to Heaven,” Mingli said.
“A Vow to Heaven?”
Lianxing’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “In the Qingming Immortal Continent, where the influence of the gods deepens, it is still unknown whether the Heavenly Dao is still as fair as before. Moreover, there is a loophole in the oath.”
David frowned slightly: “Then what does it take for you to believe me, fellow Taoist?”
Lianxing turned around and looked towards the lush bamboo grove: “Come with me, let’s find a safe place to talk.”
He walked first towards the bamboo forest. David and Ming Li exchanged glances then followed him.
The monkey wanted to follow, but was stopped by the leopard’s gaze.
The bamboo forest looked ordinary, but as soon as David stepped inside, he immediately felt the space slightly distorted and the direction of the spiritual energy flow became unusual.
After walking for about ten steps, Lianxing’s figure in front of them suddenly became blurry and just disappeared!
At the same time, the surrounding green bamboos moved without wind, their leaves rustled, and instantly became so dense that they covered the sky, as if they had turned into a giant green cage.
A powerful binding force emerged from all directions, and lines of cyan colored array patterns emerged from the ground, like living vines, entwining David and Ming Li’s feet.
