Chapter 250

"Closing will definitely happen." Xun Zong Zhenjun knew this, it was merely aligning opinions with them.

Lu Zhenjun and Sun Dan Shi exchanged a glance: Who says a sword cultivator's heart eye is straight? The one before us is clearly a seven‑orifice heart.

"Since that's the case, let's wait. Both of you, I'll be closing off for a few days, farewell." Xun Zong Zhenjun, who lived next door, left as soon as he finished speaking.

Lu Zhenjun still wanted to chat further with Sun Dan Shi, but the latter decisively saw him off.

After stepping out and closing the door, he stood outside staring at it, "She just uses it and throws it away?"

"Why didn't you say it to her's face?" Xun Zong glanced at him sideways, then turned and walked toward his own courtyard.

By chance, Jiang Yu's courtyard gate opened at that moment, and Guo Jue and the others said their farewells and left.

In the distance, Xun Zong Zhenjun instantly recognized the young monk, but even Guo Jue, though he saw him, could not identify the disguised Nascent Soul cultivator.

Only Jiang Tu, scanning the surroundings inside the Dragon Pearl, saw two cultivators in the distance and immediately called out to Dragon Soul: "Look at those two, are they Nascent Soul cultivators?"

"Which two?" When Dragon Soul looked again, Xun and Lu had each entered their own gates; each courtyard was sealed, so he could no longer see them.

Jiang Tu was pondering which sect's Nascent Soul it was, when Mo Yizhou went out and returned, saying he was fetching some spirit tea, but actually bringing back the storage ring of the Five Evils.

Jiang Yu did not decline, but handed him one; although he hadn't killed anyone, he helped shoulder most of the pressure, saying, "Those who see share the burden."

"That's enough, friend." Mo Yizhou gladly accepted, and as he left added a message, "Nan Su Zhenren's application to the sect for a Longevity Core Pill was unsuccessful."

"Then Nan Su can't advance to Nascent Soul." Jiang Tu was quite pleased, then added that next door's next door's next door there were two Nascent Souls masquerading as Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It said, "This little market surely has more than one or two low‑level Nascent Souls pretending."

"You truly can't find a chance to ambush Nan Su."

"No rush, I'll digest today's exchange insights and temporarily close a small seal here."

"Anyway Nan Su can't leave for a while; look, the patrol roster Mo Yizhou left, they rotate two shifts daily, and during rest they may not stay outside." Jiang Yu, reassured, stopped going out.

She meditated daily, drew talismans and practiced medium‑low level array engraving, and after half a month received a transmission from Elder Lin.

"The teleportation array has been repaired." Jiang Yu slapped Jiang Tu, who was perched on the desk.

"When will the teleport happen? Is Nan Su leaving today?" Jiang Tu asked lazily.

"I don't know, let's go out for a walk." Jiang Yu immediately began gathering everything, ready to chase Nan Su at any moment.

Unbeknownst to her, Nan Su Zhenren had already boarded the teleportation array in the first batch and left before Elder Lin's transmission.

After all, it's the demonic sect's territory; demonic cultivators go first.

Elder Lin deliberately withheld the information from Jiang Yu, hoping she would reach a higher level before taking revenge.

But it couldn't be helped; Mo Yizhou reported, "Jiang Yu, ten people have teleported away.

I'm on my rotating day off today, and just learned Nan Su Zhenren is among the first batch.

It is said that after the first batch's soul lantern passes unhindered, two or three Nascent Souls will teleport over.

"That's different from what was said before. They really change ideas every moment."

"Received, thank you." Jiang Yu let out a long sigh, slowed her gathering of items, and now could only try to secure a teleportation slot.

Mo Yizhou sent another message: "Won't you ask who those Nascent Souls are?"

"The Nascent Souls will surely teleport back from there; they need to verify the reliability of the teleport." Jiang Yu guessed casually.

Mo Yizhou was speechless for a while, admitting his own naivety: "That's indeed the case, but I still have to continue patrols; I may have to guard the mine here later."

Jiang Yu replied quickly, "Don't worry, after the teleportation array there will be Nascent Souls on guard, no need for a Golden Core to maintain it.

"By the way, when are the Nascent Souls planning to teleport, today or tomorrow?"

"I don't know, seems they're still discussing.

I'll let you know when there's a result." Mo Yizhou could never get close to the teleportation array, so his information was second‑hand.

However, just as he put away the transmission jade talisman and was about to leave his room, he received a flying‑sword letter.

Mo Yizhou opened it; it was a message from a sect Nascent Soul elder who discovered the spirit‑stone mine's array had been triggered from outside, demanding all personnel immediately join a patrol.

"Damn, anyone daring to trigger the array must be a Nascent Soul cultivator." He rushed out to gather with his teammates.

In an instant, several streams of evanescent light shot up from the foot of the mountain, then quickly swarmed outward in batches.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators mining spirit stones were forbidden from leaving the mine tunnel.

The entire great array fell silent instantly, leaving only the verdant mountain trees swaying endlessly.

At that moment, Jiang Yu stepped out of the courtyard and saw Guo Ye emerging from the next door: "Guo Ye, you're also going?"

"No, the master only allowed me and Guo Jue to go to one place."

"I disagree, Jiang Yu, can you persuade Guo Jue? Tian Yuan isn't full enough for him."

That call of Jiang Yu was caught by two Foundation Establishment cultivators returning from outside; one of them couldn't help but glance at them twice.

Jiang Tu immediately warned, "Jiang Yu, watch the two people passing by you; they might be Nascent Soul cultivators.

Moreover, one of them seems to know you."

Jiang Yu only gave them a sidelong glance with the corner of her eye; she couldn't recognize them.

But hearing the name that identified her, Xun Zong Daojun, who was transmitting to the person beside him, said, "Brother Lu, you looked at those two too long; you've already attracted her attention."

"Hah, what does paying attention matter? I don't care about those Nascent Souls at the spirit‑stone mine, I wouldn't mind a little cultivator."

"By the way, you just glanced at them earlier, recognized them?"

"The name Jiang Yu sounds familiar somewhere." Lu Zhenjun, seeing Jiang Yu's disguised appearance, naturally didn't recognize her.

He had been at Tian Yuan for twenty years, while Jiang Yu no longer moved about the cultivation world; this time he returned, having once heard in a teahouse people talk about newly Golden Core cultivators from various places, but he couldn't recall at that moment.

Upon entering the courtyard, Xun Zong Zhenjun said, "Junior disciple of Brother Sui Lu, you once collected five hundred thousand spirit stones from her in front of the Eastern Continent teleportation array."

"Oh, so it was her, disguised." Lu Zhenjun suddenly recalled something, "Finding her to arrange a slot shouldn't be hard, right?"

Xun Zong Zhenjun immediately rejected, "She's only a Golden Core; how much power could she have?"

"We'll go straight to our contacts at Profound Heaven Sect or Ten Thousand Swords Sect; that'll be faster."

"Also, you must not go to the spirit‑stone mine to test the array again; if you trigger it and get caught in the act, it won't look good."

Nonsense, today the one who triggered the restriction isn't me.

There are at least seven people lurking in the dark. True Lord Lu refuses to take the blame; he glanced outward and saw the two people who were just speaking leaving.

He thought for a moment, "Wait, I suddenly recall, the people from the Shangqing Sect said, your disciple-nephew named Jiang Bai, on the Tianyuan Continent also took on a junior martial sister."

It is said, that is Jiang Yu of the Taixu Sect.

No wonder the Sui-Lü Society sought out your Sword Sect people to return the Qi family young lad home.

With such a connection, what are you waiting for? I'll go find her.

As they spoke, True Lord Lu used Shrink Ground to an Inch to chase after Jiang Yu.
