Chapter 1075

A wobbly cat pulled a heavy cart and sped across the wide street.

He Pingsheng pulled Lu Xiaoci and Chi Zhongyue to hide on the side, clearing a path for the speeding cart!

Chi Zhongyue said: "Should we take a cart too?"

Lu Xiaoci shook her head: "Let's walk... no rush!"

"By the way, how are we going back to the sect?"

He Pingsheng didn't speak, but Chi Zhongyue asked: "Qiao Shijie Lu, did the City Lord not make things difficult for you?"

"No!" Lu Xiaoci's face was somewhat pale. She forced a smile and said: "She asked me to become a disciple under the City Lord's Mansion, but I didn't agree!"

"Of course, the City Lord didn't force me either!"

"After all, all her thoughts are on Biyun Xianzi Caiyu now!"

"I heard that there are twelve suspected Biyun Xianzi Caiyus, all of whom have been invited by the City Lord to a special place and are currently being screened one by one!"

"She can't spare the time for me!"

"Junior Brother He, how should we go?" Lu Xiaoci looked up at He Pingsheng.

She felt that although He Pingsheng had the worst cultivation among the three, he was the most witty and meticulous.

He Pingsheng said: "Go... let's talk as we walk!"

That's right, the City Lord had caught twelve Biyun Xianzi Caiyu suspects, but He Pingsheng was not among them.

Because He Pingsheng used a fake name when he went in, and no one saw him when he came out, so he didn't leave any clues there, which is why he became the one who slipped through the net.

"I think!" He Pingsheng paused slightly and said: "There are probably people from Kunwu Mountain in this city. At this very moment, the news of Qiao Shijie Lu being on the list has naturally spread to Kunwu Mountain eight or nine times out of ten!"

"On our way back, there is a high probability that we will encounter their interception!"

"And this time, I'm afraid the experts they send will be more numerous, and their cultivation might be higher!"

He Pingsheng's analysis was not unreasonable.

Lu Xiaoci was the number one genius of the entire Red Lotus Immortal Valley. When she was intercepted last time, the other side only sent four Earth Immortals and more than twenty Earth Immortal-stage double-headed Kui Eagles!

Now that Lu Xiaoci had made it onto the ranking list, one could imagine that this time, in order to intercept and kill her, they would definitely send more people.

And this time, the cultivation of the interception might not be as simple as Earth Immortals!

"I know!" Lu Xiaoci asked: "Then what should we do?"

"How about we just stay here?"

"No!" He Pingsheng said: "We definitely have to go back. Staying here all the time is not a solution!"

"How about this... let's... take a detour!"

"Take a detour?" The two women said almost in unison: "How to detour?"

He Pingsheng took out a jade slip, and the map inside turned into a light film and fell into the void!

The three of them just stopped on the street corner.

This was a simple map of the territory ruled by Qiankun Immortal City, with the location of the Immortal City marked, as well as the locations of Red Lotus Immortal Valley and Kunwu Mountain.

"Look!" He Pingsheng said: "Following this route is the fastest, but I can guarantee that there must be Kunwu Mountain cultivators waiting for us on this road!"

"Let's detour like this!"

"Detour from the east side of Red Lotus Immortal Valley, take a big circle, so that we can avoid their pursuit!"

"However, the journey will take about twice as long!"

"It took three months to come, but going back, this journey will probably take five months or even more, and we might encounter unknown dangers on the road!"

"What do you think?" He Pingsheng turned his head to look at the two of them.

Both of them nodded: "No problem!"

"Alright!" He Pingsheng said: "Since you both think there's no problem, we'll take this route. Actually, it's just more wild mountains. I've inquired, and the demonic beasts on this road won't be too outrageous!"

"Let's go!"

The three of them left the city, then took He Pingsheng's flying boat and flew back along the predetermined direction.

Just after flying for about a stick of incense's time, they were intercepted in the void.

The interceptor was a hunched old man.

Beside the old man was a young man.

"Greetings, Deputy City Lord Tianyin!" He Pingsheng hurriedly bowed to the other party.

Tianyin waved his hand with a smile and said: "How... are you returning already?"

While speaking, Tianyin's gaze swept over Lu Xiaoci a few times.

He Pingsheng smiled: "Yes, I've been out for more than two years, so I'm in a hurry to go back!"

"Hmm!" Tianyin said: "He Pingsheng... can we step aside to talk? I have some questions I'd like to ask!"

"I wouldn't dare!" He Pingsheng hurriedly said: "Please!"

After speaking, he got off the flying boat, leaving Lu Xiaoci and Chi Zhongyue on the flying boat, while He Pingsheng himself landed on a mountain peak below.

Tianyin and the young man also followed down.

"What would you like to ask, Senior?" He Pingsheng said with a sincere expression: "As long as I know, I will definitely tell you everything I know!"

"Hehehe..." Tianyin waved his hand and smiled, saying: "No hurry, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to meet again in the future. Come, come... there happens to be a rock here, let's sit down and talk!"

The three of them landed on a bare boulder.

That Deputy City Lord Tianyin actually took out a tea set, prepared some immortal tea and immortal wine, and set it out.

"Don't be polite!" Tianyin pointed at the cup: "Come... take a sip and taste it!"

He Pingsheng carefully picked up the cup and took a fine sip, but didn't dare to swallow the immortal wine down his throat.

Tianyin didn't care, just said indifferently: "Oh my, the City Lord handed the task of finding this 【Biyun Xianzi Caiyu】 to me. I looked at it carefully, and I'm afraid none of those twelve people is the real Biyun Xianzi Caiyu!"

While speaking, Tianyin also looked at He Pingsheng with a smile that wasn't a smile.

He Pingsheng's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, he remained calm as if nothing had happened.

Tianyin added: "Only I knew about your competition with Ji Wuxin back then. Princess Yuhuang and Ji Wuxin had already gone back!"

"So now, in the entire Qiankun Immortal City, no one knows of your existence!"

This sentence seemed plain and simple, but it had a deeper meaning.

He Pingsheng smiled and asked: "Has Senior Tianyin already found Biyun Xianzi Caiyu?"

"Hahahaha..." Tianyin laughed loudly and said: "Can't find her, can't find her... I don't have much lifespan left, and I have no hope of breaking through to Golden Immortal. I'm already a useless person who won't live much longer. Deaf and blind, how could I find the real Biyun Xianzi Caiyu?"

"Coming here today is nothing more than wanting to build a good relationship with you, Fellow Daoist He!"

He Pingsheng was immediately terrified: "I wouldn't dare... Senior, you are flattering me. How could I be worthy of the title of Fellow Daoist in front of you?"

"Hey... I won't be polite with you!" After speaking, he turned around and reached out to pull the young man beside him: "This is my descendant, named 【Chusheng】. Chusheng is a child with good talent and character, just a bit honest, hahahahaha..."

"In the future... when I'm no longer here, if he encounters any difficulties, I hope Fellow Daoist He will look at today's good relationship and help him out!"

"I, am extremely grateful!"

The old man, whose body was already hunched, stood up with great solemnity, bent his body towards He Pingsheng, and bowed!
