The Unbeatable Uncle-Grandmaster
Chapter 144: The Undercurrent Soars
So handsome!
This was Liu Xin's first thought.
Due to the special location of Desolate City, Liu Xin rarely saw any real young geniuses. The people who came and went here were basically all fierce-looking old monsters who lived in the Outer Realm Desert and killed people without batting an eye.
This was the first time Liu Xin had seen a young man with such an extraordinary temperament as Qin Jue.
However, he quickly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly retracted his gaze, pretending nothing had happened.
He already has someone he likes. How could he covet another's body just because he was handsome?
Thinking of this, Liu Xin immediately sped up her pace and quickly disappeared around the corner with the guards and the corpses of the ferocious beasts behind her, heading straight for the City Lord's Residence.
Watching the woman leave, the surrounding people gulped their saliva .. Although they did not dare to provoke the daughter of the lord of this city, they could at least fantasize in their hearts, right?
On the other hand, Qin Jue shook her head and did not take heart.
In his eyes, Liu Xin was much inferior to Su Yan. He was completely defeated in almost all aspects.
If he had to say the one thing he defeated from Su Yan, it was that his "area" was slightly larger.
"Let's go. Let's find a place to rest first. ”
Sipping wine, Qin Jue said indifferently.
Although Desolate City was known as the largest human city in the Outer Natural Desert, it was actually not that big. In fact, it was even smaller than Brilliance City.
However, in such a harsh environment, a city would be difficult to control if it was too big. That's understandable.
What was worth mentioning was that even though the Outer Realm Desert was extremely dangerous, cultivators still came and left the city continuously every day.
This was because there were strange energy stones that could be found in the Outer Natural Desert. These stones can be used for cultivation or for forging weapons. Their value was on the spirit stones.
Moreover, the spirit herbs growing in the Outer Realm Desert were extremely valuable. Any one of them could be exchanged for a large amount of cultivation resources.
To a traveling cultivator, other than being somewhat dangerous, the Outer Realm Desert was almost no different from heaven.
Even large clans outside of the desert, like the Ning Clan, often used other things to exchange energy stones and spirit herbs with the City Lord of Desolate City.
Otherwise, why would Liu Qingbai be willing to replace the position of City Lord in such a small town.
As the largest supplier of energy stones in Desolate City, Liu Qingbai was a man of high status. Even those high and mighty patriarchs had to show him respect.
In the end, Qin Jue and Su Yan found a relatively "complete" inn to live in. Even so, the decoration inside was still quite simple. Each room has only a bed, a table, and four walls.
After entering his room, Su Yan did not rush to sit cross-legged on the bed and cultivate. Instead, he took off his mask, took out the bronze mirror Qin Jue had given him, and looked at himself a few times. After making sure that she was prettier, she put on her mask back and started cultivating.
As long as he followed Qin Jue, Su Yan benefited greatly.
Most importantly, his state of mind had undergone a great change. He had expanded his horizon beyond the Southern Land and even felt a little enlightened.
Even the burden of reviving the sect seemed to be much lighter now.
…
“I am an arrogant young official. I don't believe in ghosts or gods.”
“After taking over the world, I will return everything to you..”.
At the same time, Qin Jue leaned against the window, drinking wine and singing, looking relaxed and satisfied.
In his visit to the Holy Land of the Middle Continent, the Outer Realm Desert should have been the most boring place Qin Jue had ever visited. There is almost nothing fun to do here.
This reminded him of his days in the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. Back then, other than drinking and sleeping, he did not need to care about anything else.
Now, he also no longer needed to worry about not having enough spirit wine. After all, the spirit wine he had snatched from the Spirit Clan was enough for him to drink for several hundred years.
“I think it's time to go back.”
Qin Jue lowered her eyes and sighed.
It had been almost a month and a half since he left the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
In the past month and a half, whether it was a small border town, a mid-level kingdom, or the most powerful Holy Land, Qin Jue had basically visited all of them.
It should be known that Qin Jue's initial purpose of coming to the Sacred Land of the Middle Continent was simply to travel. Who would have thought that so many things would happen?
Among the people he interacted with, the most unlucky were none other than the Spirit Clan and the Gu Clan. They had planned carefully for many years, but in the end, all their efforts were in vain because of a passerby like him.
If the Spirit Clan were still alive and knew that their plan was only broken because Ling Langtian killed a Heaven Stage cultivator, they might expect nothing more than to rip off Ling Langtian's head.
Unknowingly, the sky darkened and the Desolate City fell silent.
The nights in the Outer Natural Desert were extremely cold. Even ordinary Profound Stage cultivators would be affected. Moreover, the Outer Natural Desert was the most dangerous at night. If one was careless, they would be killed by poisonous demonic beasts.
Therefore, once night fell, no matter what the situation was, the cultivators outside would all rush back. Even villages and small towns with only a few dozen families would set out defensive measures.
“Hah, bedtime.”
Qin Jue raised his head and drank the spirit wine. He stretched his body lazily and was about to lie down when Yun Xi suddenly flew over from the side and landed on his shoulder.
"Sir, I want to sleep with you!"
Yun Xi raised her head and said sweetly.
Qin Jue: "..."
Did I imagine anything? Why do I feel that there is something wrong with this sentence?
"Good."
Qin Jue was helpless. It's not the first time anyway.
"Hehe."
Yun Xi immediately hugged Qin Jue happily.
Thus, both of them fell asleep.
However, at this moment, no one noticed that in the sand dune 50 kilometers away from Desolate City, the Heaven Stage cultivator Liu Qingbai had sent to investigate the situation in the surrounding city was dead. His face was filled with fear as he died, and there was a fatal wound on his neck that ran all over his throat. His blood had long been frozen.
The chi!
At this moment, the sand nearby suddenly seemed to have a life of its own as it quickly gathered and rose. Then, two figures like sand statues appeared on the sand dune.
The appearance of the two figures could not be seen. Only their blood-red eyes looked extremely sinister and strange at night.
“It looks like they already noticed.”
The sand sculpture on the left said.
"Yes, we have to speed it up."
The idiot on the right said, "Where are the other humans?"
This is a very important issue. Liu Qingbai would naturally not only send one person to investigate. Furthermore, as a precaution, he had specifically sent them in a different direction.
However, Liu Qingbai never expected that the Sand Race had secretly observed Desolate City. The moment those cultivators left the city, they were sentenced to death.
"Don't worry, I've handled everything."
The sand statue on the left pondered for a moment and said, "What did the First Elder say?"
"The First Elder asks us to take action tomorrow."
"What's? Are we in a hurry?”
“Mm, if this continues, humans will definitely start preparing. According to the First Elder, tomorrow should be the best time. ”
"Haha, we can finally see His Majesty the Sand Emperor again."
"Life the Sand Emperor."
"Life the Sand Emperor."
As soon as they finished talking, the two figures turned into sand again, as if they had never existed.
