Zhao Sanshui knows the strength of True Immortal Xiaoyao quite well, and two Xiaoyaos put together may not be able to beat him!
He dared to come to Hongye Ridge because he believed that even if he couldn't defeat him, as long as he was alert enough, escaping would not be a problem.
After leaving his tribe behind, he continued deep into Hongye Ridge, strolling leisurely along the way.
After turning an intersection, a pavilion appeared not far away.
The pavilion is very rough, with almost no decoration. The pillars and the inside of the top are not even painted, giving it a rough look.
There is a stone table and four stone benches in the pavilion. They are also very rough, but they give people a feeling of vastness.
A middle-aged man is sitting on a stone pier. There is a pot of tea and four teacups on the stone table.
The man was drinking tea. When he saw the handsome young man coming over, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Your aesthetic... is not very good."
"You are already a Nascent Soul, why bother yourself," Zhao Sanshui replied disapprovingly.
Then he walked into the pavilion and sat down casually, "What do you call fellow Taoist?"
"Call me Chaoyun," the paranoid man said, gesturing at the teacup, "I want to drink it myself, what's the matter?"
"Your aura is not very pure." Zhao Sanshui is not a master who only knows how to take tricks.
A large family with tens of thousands of years of inheritance has a profound heritage, which can be vividly reflected when dealing with others.
When the paranoid heard this, he smiled indifferently and said, "Then I'll take it as a compliment."
Although these people in the team come from the world of Jueling and don't have any decent inheritance, they really have their own arrogance.
They admit that their cultivation methods are not good, they have too little systematic knowledge, and even with the same level of cultivation, their life span is much shorter...
But, so what?
For example, Paranoid and Mrs. Jia both hit the Supreme Level twice. At least they failed the first time and didn't die.
The same cannot be said for the world of cultivating immortals. Once Ning Ying fails, he will die on the spot.
So the paranoid didn't think there was anything that couldn't be faced head-on - have you ever heard of secondary infant condensation?
"Praise?" Zhao Sanshui's brows furrowed slightly, "How do you say this?"
Even if the breath is not pure, you will not be angry. Is this seizing the body, or... other means?
"Do I have that kind of friendship with you?" Paranoid raised his eyelids and expressed reluctantly.
"I'll give you time for a cup of tea to explain why you're here... Don't you know that Nascent Soul's time is precious?"
Time for a cup of tea... Zhao Sanshui sighed inwardly: This Nascent Soul, you are really a bit arrogant!
However, he had already made up his mind and would not easily conflict with the other party, so he spread his hands helplessly.
"I just want to get some information and confirm some rumors."
"Then let's go," the paranoid waved his hand casually, "Without that kind of friendship... I, Hongye Ling, can't afford to explain to outsiders."
Zhao Sanshui smiled and said, "It's not a matter of friendship, but the fall of True Immortal Xiaoyao, which will bring about a lot of turmoil."
He has been able to confirm that there are at least two Nascent Souls in Hongye Ridge, but... if there are only two, it is still not enough.
"Then it's unrest," the paranoid replied slowly. "He comes to other people's homes to cause trouble. Shouldn't he be punished?"
Previously, I had only exposed one golden elixir because I didn't want to attract too much attention and wanted the matter of spiritual veins to slowly ferment.
When outsiders can gradually accept the status quo, it won't matter if two more Nascent Souls are exposed, so he will handle the matter this time.
Finally, he snorted coldly, "Besides, who saw that it was us who killed him?"
In fact, he still had some doubts in his heart. You, a true immortal from a family, are worrying about casual cultivators. Are you in the wrong channel?
However, Zhao Sanshui still smiled leisurely and said, "We just heard that this matter has been widely circulated..."
"In this group of casual cultivators, there are many lawless and ungrateful people. I only give a moderate reminder."
The paranoid said unhurriedly, "It's better that the Zhao family doesn't want to be a quarrel, otherwise there may be trouble... Why don't you leave?"
"Haha," Zhao Sanshui chuckled with unknown meaning, and he didn't know what it meant.
The next moment, he looked serious and spoke, "I have something very troublesome and I would like to ask for advice."
"Don't talk about boring things," the paranoid said simply, "Hongye Ridge... is not as weak as you think."
Zhao Sanshui shook his head and said seriously, "It's not boring, but...can the Zhao family buy a slave from you?"
"Oh?" The paranoid man was somewhat surprised. He really didn't expect that the other party could make such a request.
Taoist Jiao has now enslaved four people in total. Except for Qi Yang, who was forcibly restrained, the other three are all voluntary.
It is absolutely impossible for the four of them to be released, especially Qi Yang and Wu Laoliu.
However, the other party's request also made the paranoid have some curiosity: Isn't this the best opportunity to inquire about the news?
So he asked with great interest, "I wonder who you plan to buy and what price you are willing to pay?"
Can we really talk about it? Zhao Sanshui thinks it's unlikely - he's been banned, but he still has combat power, and he's still a golden elixir.
Even if the factor of face is put aside and the person is handed over directly, wouldn't the method of restraint be known to others?
However, he was not in a hurry to argue. He had no intention of hiding this matter at first, "You have a Jindan slave Wu Laoliu, right?"
"It's really him," the paranoid shook his head, a bit dumbfounded.
That guy's level of treasure appraisal is not low, and he said at the beginning that he got into trouble because of this skill.
However, Wu Laoliu did not hide anything and wanted to explain something, but unfortunately, the boss was not interested in listening.
But from that moment on, everyone realized that this guy was in trouble.
So the paranoid man shook his head and said, "He, others can still consider it, but he can't!"
Zhao Sanshui did not show any surprise, he just smiled and asked, "But because of his appraisal ability?"
"Not entirely," the paranoid shook his head, becoming more certain of the root cause of the other party's visit.
He said simply, "This person has practiced our secret techniques and there is no way he can leave alive!"
This is actually true. Wu Laoliu has a sign on his body to identify ourselves and the enemy, and the team is considering whether to pass the flash to him.
Anyway, there is no need to worry about him spreading the ban on the art of controlling beasts.
As for the other three Jindan slaves, they did not receive such treatment as him.
But the paranoid said this because he wanted to test whether the other party wanted Wu Laoliu alive or dead.
However, in Zhao Sanshui's eyes, his probing thoughts were too low-level.
But he didn't explain it. Anyway, his original mission was to explain the pros and cons.
His expression was straight, "Fellow Taoist Chaoyun, do you know the true identity of Wu Laoliu?"
The paranoid smiled disdainfully, "His true identity...is it necessary to know?"
"Anyone who dares to offend me, Hongye Ridge, should atone for his mistakes. We don't care whether he was good or bad before!"
Zhao Sanshui nodded, "I admire you for your true nature!"
But then, his conversation changed, "But do you know, fellow Taoist... that he is Wu Minxi, who is offering a reward for his arrest in Baiyao Valley?"
Baiyao Valley is named Gu, but it is actually one of the Five Upper Gates.
It is worth mentioning that this sect focuses on alchemy and targets the entire market of immortal cultivators.
Therefore, although the family and casual cultivators are not friendly towards the sect, Bai Yao Valley is not targeted very much.
"Wu... Minxi?" The paranoid frowned slightly, then shook his head simply, "Ant, I haven't heard of it!"
"Fellow Taoist, you are... okay," Zhao Sanshui was really a little surprised, but the other party's logic was indeed correct.
To Yuanying, the golden elixir is like an ant. Considering that this group of people live in seclusion, it is normal for them to have little information.
Moreover, only relatively large forces would pay attention to Wu Minxi's matter. After all, Baiyao Valley's face was involved.
"He took advantage of Ding's opportunity and stole the ancient secret book "Seven Stars of Resurrection Acupuncture" from Baiyao Valley, and was put on the three thousand year secret list."
Three thousand years of darkness does not only mean being wanted.
Not only that the wanted period is long, it also means that even if Wu Minxi advances to Nascent Soul, Baiyao Valley will still not let him go.
Moreover, the wanted person is An Pang, which shows that Baiyao Valley does not want to make the matter known to the public, but it is also in line with the rumors.
"Oh?" The paranoid raised his eyebrows when he heard this, becoming somewhat interested, "Has he ever done such a thing?"
However, having said that, he had no interest in calling Wu Laoer over.
Then, his face straightened, "Then the fact that fellow Taoist Zhao is here to buy someone means that the Zhao family is also interested in this secret book?"
"That's not something you can say," Zhao Sanshui said seriously, "My Zhao family... is just a good friend of Bai Yao Valley."
"Ha," the paranoid snorted with a smile, but didn't even answer.
Your Zhao family wants to have a good relationship with Baiyao Valley, but you want to come to Hongye Ridge to buy people - how did you come up with this!
Zhao Sanshui spoke seriously, "The reward from Hundred Medicine Valley will all belong to you. The Zhao family still has some thoughts."
——We are not seeking a reward, we simply want to sell a favor and are willing to pay the price.
"Ha," the paranoid snorted again, "Then let Baiyao Valley come and talk to me at Hongye Ridge."
"Huh?" Zhao Sanshui was a little surprised, "Fellow Taoist Chaoyun, why don't you call Wu Laoliu to find out more?"
"Do you know what he does?" The paranoid looked at him strangely, "I already said, we don't care whether he was good or bad before."
Zhao Sanshui's expression finally turned serious, "In other words, if I come to Baiyao Valley, you might not let me go?"
The paranoid replied nonchalantly, "We'll talk about it then."
"Okay, I understand," Zhao Sanshui finally understood how stubborn these people were.
They say "we'll talk about it later", but in fact, they don't even pay attention to Baiyao Valley.
Then he asked curiously, "I would like to ask, where are you from?"
The paranoid looked at him indifferently for more than half a minute. When he saw that the other party still had no more explanation, he snorted coldly.
"Are you...wanting to declare war on Hongye Ridge on behalf of the Zhao family?"
