Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 603 Traveling the World
“Senior Changqing, I knew you would soar to great heights when I was in the capital.”

The news had just spread.

The first person to come and offer congratulations was Tan Yu.

He didn't know what others thought, but Tan Yu knew he had made a huge profit.

He had a good relationship with Li Rui back in the Yu Kingdom.

And don't forget.

Li Rui is currently the Director of the Imperial Observatory, but he has never relinquished his position as Deputy Director.

Definitely one of our own.

Moreover, he did not overstep his bounds with Li Rui because of their past relationship; he still addressed him as "senior" as proper.

Even though he was actually a little older than Li Rui.

In the world of cultivation, seniority is never determined by age, but only by cultivation level.

"Fellow Daoist Tan, there's no need for such formalities between us."

Li Rui said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tan Yu was overjoyed.

Listen.

To be called a fellow Daoist by a true disciple of Baiyujing at the Dao Body Realm—what a great affirmation that is!

Tan Yu had already made up her mind.

I'm sticking with Li Rui for life!

Watching Tan Yu and Li Rui chatting and laughing, Yu Ziyi could only feel envious.

'If I had stayed in the small grotto back then, would I have also incurred karmic ties?'

But she immediately shook her head.

No.

the reason is simple.

She's a very reserved person, very concerned about her image, completely different from her senior brother Tan Yu.

So even if he stayed in Xiaodongtian, he would probably only have a nodding acquaintance with Li Rui.

Now.

There is no need for a deep friendship.

She came here only because of Li Rui's life-saving grace back then; otherwise, as Chonghua's true disciples, neither she nor Tan Yu should have appeared here.

As the strength of the Gao Tianxia lineage grew, so did the power of the Gao Tianxia lineage.

It was impossible for the two deputy city lords to have a harmonious relationship.

Conflict is inevitable.

As the most renowned figure in the Gao Tianxia lineage, Li Rui should avoid any appearance of impropriety.

Li Rui saw right through their thoughts at a glance.

They just didn't say it outright.

Yu Ziyi, in the end, was too principled.

In comparison, jade is much more appealing.

Remember this: in the world of cultivation, face is the least important thing; only by understanding the situation can you go far.

Li Rui was not actually averse to such opportunistic behavior.

As long as it can be used by him, that's fine.

Of course, this is also related to Tan Yu's background.

Tan Yu has a strong foothold in Shenxiao City and is a member of the Tan clan. It's good that he became Chonghua's disciple, but in reality, he hardly sees Chonghua more than twice a year, so there isn't much affection between them.

That's why she was so attentive to Li Rui.

Ultimately, in Tan Yu's view, his identity as a member of the Tan clan was far greater than his identity as a true disciple of Chonghua.

Tan Yu's strength is at the Purple Mansion Realm, and his background is also excellent. Such a talent is naturally very useful.

Li Rui certainly had no reason to refuse.

after that.

Many more people came to visit.

Among them were even some immortal cultivation families from Shenxiao City.

The intentions of these people are self-evident.

While it appears they are looking for Li Rui, they are actually sending a signal to Gao Tianxia, ​​the advisor.

As Li Rui's strength and status increased, he was able to enter the power center of Shenxiao City.

"Brother, do you think the city lord will make a move against you?"

Ning Zhongtian said with concern.

Taking the former deputy city lord Hong Tianyong as an example, such a situation is not impossible.

Li Rui smiled and shook his head: "There are only two deputy city lords, so no."

Ning Zhongtian couldn't help but wonder:
"What?"

In his view, as the saying goes, "two tigers cannot share one mountain," Chonghua should have used every means possible.

Li Rui smiled slightly: "Because Shenxiao City belongs to City Lord Yu, both Chonghua and the advisor are just hired hands. If the two of them fight, it will harm City Lord Yu's interests. Moreover, Chonghua is not Hong Tianyong; he still has a family." After hearing this,

Ning Zhongtian realized, "Brother is right."

Whether in the Kingdom of Yu or the world of cultivation, it's pretty much the same.

Those with strong backgrounds, as long as both sides are of equal strength, are all respectable people and will not break ties.

What I fear most is a rogue cultivator like Hong Tianyong.

Don't be afraid of wearing shoes if you are barefoot.

When they get really ruthless, they are truly ruthless.

Someone of Chonghua's background cannot afford to break ties, as that would only harm his own interests more.

No one could do it unless they were stupid.

These great families of cultivators are often not wiped out overnight, but rather slowly simmered to death in lukewarm water.

Make this clear.

There is no need to fear Chonghua.

of course.

The main reason is that Li Rui now has the confidence to save his life.

While the two were talking.

The jade pendant at Li Rui's waist lit up on its own, followed by the voice of an old man: "Li Rui, the Traveler of the World, shall immediately proceed to the Guniu Immortal Dynasty to investigate the demonic chaos."

Then a beam of golden light shot into Li Rui's brow.

Information about the Cow Immortal Dynasty automatically came to mind.

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

Come to life!
Simply put, the Guniu Immortal Dynasty is a third-rate immortal dynasty that relies on Baiyujing. Three years ago, the dynasty's patriarch perished while traveling, and demonic cultivators wreaked havoc. Left with no other choice, they had to request support from Baiyujing.

The so-called "traveling the world".

He is the one who represents Bai Yujing in handling mundane matters.

Li Rui had only just taken office, so it was not appropriate for him to ignore the situation.

And this time when I went there.

He is not alone.

Since the Guniu Immortal Dynasty is under the control of Shenxiao City, Shenxiao City will also send people to help it.

Given his position, he was naturally the commander of this operation.

as predicted.

They had just received Bai Yujing's transfer order when news arrived from Shenxiao City.

"I have heard that Fellow Daoist Changqing proved his Dao through strength, and I truly admire him."

A middle-aged scholar sat side by side with Li Rui at the very front of the flying boat, speaking with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Chang Geng, you flatter me. It was just luck."

Li Rui spoke calmly.

The middle-aged scholar before him was the cultivator sent by Shenxiao City to assist him in suppressing the demonic chaos of the Guniu Immortal Dynasty.

This person is a confidant of the deputy city lord, Chonghua.

His cultivation level at the Dao Body Realm is quite remarkable.

Yes.

It wasn't someone as superior as the advisor.

This arrangement was not because Lord Yu of Shenxiao City was deliberately making things difficult, but because Shenxiao City has always acted this way to prevent any one party from acting arbitrarily and doing things that would harm Shenxiao City.

Therefore, usually two people are selected from among the deputy city lords to work together.

Master Chang Geng was quite interested in Li Rui.

of course.

What interests me most is the big shot behind Li Rui.

No matter how he asked, Li Rui kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal a single clue.

He was quite helpless.

He was about to ask again.

Then Li Rui stood up and uttered two words.

"arrive."

He was taken aback, then looked down.

Sure enough, there was the 300-foot-tall statue of the Ox God.

A moment of silence followed.

The flying boat landed directly in the imperial palace of the Guniu Immortal Dynasty, and had just settled down.

Then several people appeared and came to greet them.

Li Rui was taken aback when he saw who it was.

The reason was that among these people, I actually saw a familiar face—Jiang Yan.
