It's just that this step should not be taken unless absolutely necessary.
Ling Yun chose to stay in the ancient world of the early Yuan Dynasty because he wanted to lay a backing base for the people of the White Deer Sect in the ancient world of Qibao.
In this way, the people of the Bailu Sect in the Qibao Ancient Realm can return to the Ancient Yuan Dynasty Realm at any time if they encounter danger in the Qibao Ancient Realm.
If he were to be hunted and flee to the Qibao Ancient Realm, it would be equivalent to cutting off this escape route.
Fortunately last time, the major forces didn't pay much attention to him, so he went to the Qibao Ancient World and then returned.
But now, all the major forces are staring at him.
If he goes to the Qibao Ancient World at this time, he will definitely be discovered.
Three days later.
Ling Yun finally stepped into the border of the Central Territory.
Riding on the gate of space, you can cross it in just a moment.
But using the teleportation array and flying will take three days, and there can be no pauses during this period.
After three days of traveling, Ling Yun was also a little tired.
So he found a restaurant in a city to rest.
In the restaurant lobby, Ling Yun ordered some food and wine, tasted it slowly, and listened to some news.
Suddenly Ling Yun noticed that there was a commotion in a corner not far from the hall.
It was a burly man chatting up a female warrior.
This female warrior rejects the burly man.
However, the burly man intensified his efforts and changed from chatting up words to using physical actions.
When things developed to this point, Ling Yun and everyone else in the hall didn't care.
Mainly in places like restaurants, where good and bad people are mixed, this kind of thing is indeed common.
But what happened next made people frown.
The female warrior's companion was very angry when she saw this, and directly threw a vegetable plate on the burly man's head, telling the burly man to leave.
The burly man suddenly became furious, grabbed his female warrior companion, and beat the latter violently.
Ling Yun's eyes were slightly cold.
Not to mention that the burly man's behavior itself was very tasteless.
The burly man's cultivation was at the first level of transcending tribulation, while the female warrior was only a Dharma warrior.
The former is undoubtedly bullying.
The development of things does not end here.
The other companions of the burly man gathered around and beat and kicked the female warrior.
The female warrior's companions tried to stop her, but they were all beaten together.
Others looked around.
In fact, the faces of many people showed signs of intolerance and anger.
But no one dared to step forward to stop it.
This group of burly men are all tall and powerful, and they are all masters of overcoming tribulations.
The local people also know that they come from a big force.
Ordinary warriors simply cannot afford the price of offending them, and may very well involve themselves in it.
According to this trend, if the burly man and others continue to fight, the female warrior and several of her female companions will probably be killed or injured.
Buzz! Suddenly, an afterimage passed by.
Bang bang bang... A group of burly men flew out almost instantly.
Everyone around stared with wide eyes.
Then they saw that the afterimage stopped, revealing a young man in black.
Several women who were beaten and bruised were stunned.
They had fallen into despair before and thought they would be beaten to death like this.
Unexpectedly, someone would come out to rescue them.
"Who are you?"
The burly man looked at Ling Yun in shock and anger, "We are from the Black Ice Sect, you have offended us..." Puff puff... Ling Yun is not polite.
The sword light flashed.
The burly man and others were directly killed by him.
It is not a pity for such scum to die! As soon as the burly man and others died, a large number of figures appeared around them.
"He's from the Black Ice Sect!"
Someone said in shock.
This city is called "Black Ice City".
Black Ice Gate is the ruler of Black Ice City.
This is why the burly man and others dare to be so arrogant.
The Black Ice Sect is not a small force, it is considered a first-rate force in the Sumeru Region.
Although it is not as good as the top forces such as the Golden Lion Clan, it can still be regarded as the overlord of one party.
"Bold, how dare you commit murder in Black Ice City!"
A middle-aged man in the lead said sharply.
He is the great elder of the Black Ice Sect and a half-step supreme powerhouse.
Others present were heartbroken, thinking that the boy in black must be doomed.
Ling Yun looked cold: "They didn't see you when they were bullying the weak. Now that they are being killed, you are here actively."
"If you dare to quibble, take him down. If you dare to resist, kill him on the spot!"
The middle-aged man said.
"I think you are the bold one."
Before anyone from the Black Ice Sect could take action, a cold voice sounded.
Then people saw that a young man in purple clothes appeared out of nowhere! "How dare you disrespect our great elder..." shouted a Black Ice Sect disciple.
Before he finished speaking, the great elder of the Black Ice Sect slapped him away.
Then, the great elder of the Black Ice Sect looked at the young man in purple in fear: "Duan Zhizun, you... why are you here?"
The others' eyes widened when they heard this.
Supreme?
This young man in purple is actually the Supreme?
"If I hadn't come, how could I have seen such a dirty side of your Hei Bingmen."
The young man in purple said coldly: "You don't care about a few scum who bully men and women, but when there are people who come out to do heroic things, you take care of them very actively.
Since your Black Ice Sect is so powerful, from now on, there is no need for the Black Ice Sect to be affiliated with my name, Cao Lu."
Hearing this, the elder of the Black Bing Sect felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face instantly turned pale and bloodless.
In this chaotic world, any force that wants to remain stable must have a backer.
The backing of the Black Ice Sect is the grass reed! Without the protection of the grass reed, the Black Ice Sect will inevitably encounter countless powerful enemies.
In the future, let alone growing the Black Ice Sect, whether it can protect itself is a big question.
Others around him suddenly started making noises.
Cao Lu! This young man in purple is actually from Cao Lu.
Cao Lu is the top force in the Sumeru Region.
In ancient times, Cao Lu had a time of great glory and was the overlord of the Sumeru Realm.
However, Caolu later declined, and its former position was taken over by the Yuan clan.
Even so, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Cao Lu is still the top force.
"Also, if I find out that you dare to retaliate against them, then there will be no need for the Black Ice Sect to exist."
The young man in purple said.
"We had absolutely no intention of doing so."
The Great Elder of Black Ice Sect said hurriedly.
Before, he really thought about using these female warriors to vent his anger.
Now that the young man in purple said this, he immediately extinguished all his thoughts.
The situation is very bad right now.
But not yet to the extreme.
Cao Lu only stopped protecting Hei Bingmen, but did not take the initiative to target Hei Bingmen.
It would be really tragic if Cao Lu was angered and Cao Lu was provoked to attack Hei Bingmen himself.
After handling these matters, the young man in purple looked at Ling Yun with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency Ling Yun, why don't we find a place to talk?"
Ling Yun's eyes moved slightly.
The actions of the young man in purple made him quite fond of him.
He was also curious about what the other party wanted to talk to him about.
Ling Yun nodded immediately.
Half an hour later.
The two of them were standing by a small river.
"Your Excellency Lingyun, I am in the lower part of Tianya, Senior Brother Caolu."
The young man in purple said: "On behalf of Cao Lu, I would like to invite you to join."
Ling Yun was shocked for a while: "You, Cao Lu, invite me to join?
Duan Zhizun, you have come to invite me, so you must know me well and know what kind of enemies I have offended.
If I join Cao Lu, I will be like you, Cao Lu, and you want to defend me against these enemies, are you sure?"
He was really surprised.
He went to find several top forces before and needed protection.
As a result, those forces rejected him.
Unexpectedly, when he gave up hope and decided to spend his time with the Golden Lion Clan, a top force actually took the initiative to invite him.
"We understand you very carefully, and we also know that other forces reject you and the reasons why they reject you."
Duan Tianya said: "Since I've come to recruit you, I won't lie to you. We value your talent as an important factor.
Another factor is that we already have enmity with the Golden Lion Clan, and our relationship with the Yuan Clan has never been good."
Ling Yun's expression moved slightly.
If this is the case, it can explain why Cao Lu doesn't mind offending the Golden Lion Clan and Yuan Clan for him.
Because Cao Lu itself is an enemy of the Golden Lion Clan and the Yuan Clan.
"Okay, I agree!"
Ling Yun made a decision immediately.
Duan Tianya was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "I thought you needed to think about it, but I didn't expect you to be more free and straightforward than I thought."
Ling Yun said: "The so-called consideration and deliberation are actually just pretending to be reserved in many cases.
When people agree to something, they have already made a decision in their hearts.
And today, Duan Zhizun, you are honest with me, so I don’t need to be coy."
"Then you come with me."
Duan Tianya took Ling Yun directly to Caolu.
"How many people are there among the grass and reeds?"
On the way, Ling Yun asked.
Now that he has decided to join Cao Lu, he naturally needs to understand this force.
Duan Tianya was silent, and after a moment he said: "Three."
"how many people?"
Ling Yun suspected that he heard wrongly.
"Including you, three people."
Duan Tianya said: "I don't want to use deception to recruit you. If you regret it, you can leave at any time."
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just surprised. Listening to those people's comments, how come there are only three, no, two people in the top power of Cao Lu?"
Ling Yun said.
"The strength of a sect depends on three things."
Duan Tianya said: "First, the sect must have a strong historical foundation. In this regard, Cao Lu is the force with the strongest historical foundation in the Central Region.
Second, the masters of the sect must be strong. Now the Lord of Caolu, who is also my teacher, is one of the top experts in the Central Region.
Third, disciples must be strong.
As a disciple of Caolu, I am the Supreme at the age of fifty-seven. Among the younger generation in the entire Central Territory, I am definitely the top.
Of course, the most important thing is actually the second point.
Teacher, he is really strong, as long as Teacher is here, Cao Lu will be the top force in the world!"
"How strong is he?"
Ling Yun asked.
"You'll know when you see me later."
Duan Tianya said.
Another half hour passed.
Ling Yun stood on a ruined mountain peak, suspecting that he had come to the wrong place.
He thought that Cao Lu was the former overlord of the Central Territory, and no matter how dilapidated the sect was, it should still be luxurious.
The result is a broken mountain.
There is a dilapidated Caolu on the mountain.
It's really a reed.
"Is this really Caolu?"
Ling Yun said.
"Guaranteed replacement if fake."
Duan Tianya said.
"Didn't you say that Cao Lu was once the overlord of the Central Territory?"
Ling Yun said: "Other top forces all have lofts like forests and numerous peaks, not to mention overlords, but there is only one grass reed?
Tell me, is there any hidden secret realm in Caolu, and is the real sect base in the secret realm?"
