Chapter 277: Going to the Battlefield (Please Subscribe)

Publicly, Great Cultivator Yunyi cannot ignore the infiltration and sneaking in of the Fudong Immortal Gate.

And as a traveling practitioner, Du En can naturally run around everywhere, without the various shackles of a garrison commander.

At the same time, as someone valued by the upper echelons of his sect, he naturally needs to react when facing the suspected infiltration of a hostile immortal gate.

Privately, Great Cultivator Yunyi has an old grudge with the Fudong Immortal Gate and will certainly be more calculating about this, but he actually didn't state any specific situation just now, only saying that such a situation might exist, though it might also not.

It is even most likely that it does not exist!

After all, if Du En finds it and escapes unscathed, that is easy to talk about, but if he fails to escape unscathed and is unfortunately killed, then Great Cultivator Yunyi cannot distance himself from the responsibility!

Therefore, letting Du En search everywhere like a headless fly can actually be understood as a form of admonition from him.

"It's just that I happen to be lacking merit points right now, and the Southern Lands have only recently been reorganized, so it's impossible to have incidents everywhere I go like before; therefore, right now, whether there are dates or not, I have to take two swings at the tree."

As for the question of whether he can win or escape unscathed, he will consider that carefully once he actually finds something.

So.

"I will go investigate."

Du En, having pondered and made his choice, gives a formal reply.

"Remember, the Fudong people are cunning and also cruel; do not be careless or arrogant. If you have any findings, you should promptly contact the surrounding large and medium cities to assist each other; that is the best policy."

Great Cultivator Yunyi gives a well-intentioned warning, and Du En naturally responds by following the advice.

This meeting thus ends very simply, completely exceeding everyone's expectations.

Ren Li sees Du En off again.

"Phew!"

After walking out of the inner city gate, he cannot help but feel a sense of relief, then chuckles: "Master is indeed Master, magnanimous and tolerant. This matter has passed without any twists and turns; I suppose the conflict is resolved and the friction is no more!"

"Provided that the two senior sisters and brother you have left won't come to trouble me again."

Du En is naturally aware of those two guys who clearly harbor ulterior motives and were very obvious when they were wavering.

"With the influence of this incident, I imagine they won't dare to mess around lately. After all, Master is not blind; you can see it, I can see it, and he naturally can too. Moreover, their positions are not like others, being those with heavy authority and many affairs; it is impossible for them to leave the city for no reason and run off to hunt down a traveling practitioner like you."

Du En nods in agreement with Ren Li's words.

This is also the benefit brought by his status and position. The reason he looked like he was caught easily the first two times was because his purpose was relatively clear, making it easy to judge.

But from now on, he no longer needs to pass messages or deliver items for anyone; he can go wherever he wants, and separated by thousands of miles, it is very difficult to judge his specific destination.

So at present, even if Ren Li's two senior sisters and brother still have the heart to target him, they are simply powerless to act!

In other words, this matter can be considered temporarily shelved, and the conflict with the Great Cultivator can be said to have been eased on the surface.

"By the way, where do you plan to go next?"

Ren Li walks him all the way outside the city before asking.

He even uses his divine sense to ask, quite cautiously, for fear of any mishaps.

But Du En is very straightforward and speaks directly: "Lin-Dong City."

Ren Li: "..."

Huh?!

Nothing better to do, so he's running to the battlefield?

He subconsciously turns his head to look at the temporary prisoner camp.

The Yunyi City cultivators here are also secretly sizing up this side, feeling suspicious and uncertain, when they suddenly meet the strange gaze of their Ninth Master and immediately feel a chill in their hearts, hurriedly offering apologetic smiles from afar.

Ren Li pays them no mind and quickly retracts his gaze: "Are you sure? That place is very dangerous. Besides the battlefield space on the surface as the main body, there are from time to time small groups of elites infiltrating each other, attempting to outflank and cut off lines and such. If you happen to run into them, it's a nine-deaths-and-one-life situation!"

Because for such things, cannon fodder at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages simply cannot do it.

In other words, at the very least it is the Golden Core stage, and it must be the strong first-rate or first-rate kind; otherwise, even if they infiltrate, it is of no use at all.

Furthermore, those leading the teams are often at the Nascent Soul stage or the Deity Transformation stage. In any case, you, a genius at the mid-Golden Core stage, are really not much to look at over there!

Ren Li's gaze is direct, wanting to persuade him not to do anything foolish.

"Since I've already promised your Master to go investigate things, it is naturally best to start from the Lin-Dong battlefield. Besides, I have to go see it with my own eyes eventually, to see that battlefield where millions of lives are fed in every year; otherwise, how can this journey be considered complete?"

As Du En says this, he is actually not taking a desperate risk: "Right now can be called the best timing. Facing the results of the reorganization by True Monarch Zuding, the Fudong Immortal Gate must also make a response of equal status and quality to be able to fight the next battle."

He looks toward the temporary prisoner camp, turns his body, and has already walked over there.

With this bunch of guys taking the bullets, the danger at Lin-Dong City will be much less for a while; there won't be too many Nascent Soul or Golden Core cultivators with time to engage in any infiltration.

Moreover, as long as he follows the prisoners, with the immortal gate's forces providing protection, he basically won't encounter danger. By the time he returns, it is estimated that the great battle will be in full swing, and the situation should still be okay.

In short, such a window period is very rare, so what is the harm in going to take a look?

Ren Li listens to these words, figures this out, and immediately rolls his eyes, saying: "If you want to wait to join the team, as far as your position is concerned, there is naturally no problem, but it is a bit inconvenient after all. I will go tell Master the situation right now and request a proper permit; that will be perfect!"

"Hmm, thanks."

"No need, the matter started because of me after all. So that's it, you wait, it'll be quick."

Ren Li returns in a hurry, leaving Du En alone to approach, which makes the maintenance personnel at the temporary camp look at each other in dismay, feeling quite overwhelmed.

What kind of situation has this developed into? Should we turn him away?

Not yet knowing the real-time situation, they only feel a massive headache at this moment.

After all, according to Du En's authority, he can enter this temporary prisoner camp outside the city at will, but if they really let him run in directly, they are afraid of being blamed!

Fortunately, Du En stops outside on his own, just watching calmly from afar without wanting to step inside, which saves them from being in a dilemma and makes them all heave a sigh of relief.

After a while.

The permit requested by Ren Li flies through the air. The person in charge of the temporary camp, a Nascent Soul stage manager who has received instructions from the Great Cultivator, hurriedly runs out, welcomes Du En inside to observe with extreme courtesy, and guarantees that he will arrange a comfortable seat for him during the upcoming transport.

As for Ren Li, he does not appear again because he was caught by Great Cultivator Yunyi after returning, as if this person has some new plan for training disciples and wants to start implementing it using him.

Who told him that the two above him are already set in stone.

May he fend for himself.

Du En thinks silently, only entrusting the people here to help convey his farewells.
