Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Okay, okay!" Jing Yu helped Zhao Yuanxi up and said with a smile:

"You have now established your immortal foundation. If your grandmother and parents knew about this, they would surely be pleased."

"But now that you have just established your foundation, you still need to practice meditation and confine yourself to consolidate your cultivation realm."

Just as Jing Yu finished speaking, he saw a standard flying boat of the Xiaoyao League Guard coming from a distance and stopped in front of them.

The leader was a tall and strong man wearing bronze spiritual armor. It seemed that his cultivation had reached the initial stage of foundation building. He led a dozen black-armored guards behind him and greeted Jing Yu and Zhao Yuanxi.

"Congratulations to Fairy Yuan Xi for establishing her immortal foundation!" The man in bronze armor bowed and congratulated her. He then nodded towards Jing Yu and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing is here too? What a coincidence."

"Commander Li, what are you talking about? How can I, as her uncle, be absent from such a major event as my niece's foundation-building?" Jing Yu frowned and replied in a rather gloomy tone, "I wonder what brings you here, Commander Li?"

This team of guards is not the official city guards of the Xiaoyao League, but a private army [Tota Guards] under the command of Tota Master, one of the two great masters who is in charge of the Xiaoyao League at the moment. They originally have no official law enforcement power, but now the war is in full swing, and many monks with outstanding combat capabilities have been sent to the front line. There is indeed a shortage of manpower in the fairy city, so they have temporarily stepped up.

The man in bronze armor was also a small commander in the [Tota Guard]. His surname was Li, and Jing Yu had seen him several times.

"I have come here on the orders of Master Chengming, to invite Fairy Yuanxi to enter the [Tower in the Clouds]."

"Master Chengming?" Jing Yu's face changed and he had a bad feeling.

This Cheng Ming Zhenren is the direct disciple of Tota Zhenren. He just formed the low-grade golden elixir more than ten years ago. It is said that he had pursued Yue Qiu Zhenren Hu Yueqiu in his early years but failed, so he had a bad relationship with Yu Wen Xiaojin.

There are even rumors that it was this person who pushed for Yuwen Xiaojin to be demoted to Wushan Market.

He had a close relationship with Yuwen Xiaojin, and therefore was not liked by Master Chengming. However, because of his superb skills in alchemy and his high efficiency in refining pills, he had provided a large supply of pills to the Xiaoyao League during the past twenty-one years, except for the time he was in seclusion. Therefore, he had a high prestige and status in the league, which made it difficult for this person to find any weakness in him.

Now that Zhao Yuanxi has just established his foundation, this person has issued a handwritten order to invite someone over. I'm afraid he has bad intentions.

"My Yuan Xi has never met Master Chengming before. I don't know what's going on that requires Commander Li to come and invite him in person?" Jing Yu said in a cold voice.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, this isn't a personal request from a real person, but an order from the Immortal Alliance!"

"What a joke!" Jing Yu waved his sleeves, his expression unwavering. "Yuan Xi isn't a registered cultivator of the Free and Easy Alliance, so why should he obey the Free and Easy Alliance's orders? You, the Free and Easy Alliance, control everything, how can you control us casual cultivators?"

When Jing Yu said this, the dozen or so Qi training cultivators present nodded secretly, thinking in their hearts, "Master Xuan Jing is absolutely right!"

Commander Li, however, was not annoyed. He simply explained in a gentle voice, "Let Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing know that the anti-demon war has lasted for twenty-one years. Nearly one-third of our Yunchuan Territory has already been lost. The Huanhuo Sect and the Bishui Sect were the first to be hit. They have already fallen completely to the demons, and even the mountain gates have been lost."

"Xiao Lei Temple and Hou Tu Sect have also lost nearly half of their territory. Hou Tu Sect has even been beaten to the gate!"

"Only our Xiaoyao Alliance, located on the northern side of the Yunchuan Region, has managed to maintain its vitality. However, the major forces in the Yunchuan Region are now in a situation where the lips and teeth are intertwined. In recent years, the Xiaoyao Alliance has lost many cultivators who died or were injured while supporting the front lines. We are already short of manpower."

"Although you are all independent cultivators, you are also cultivators born and raised in the Yunchuan Region. Are you going to watch your hometown fall like this? Those evil disciples are no match for the righteous immortals. If the entire region falls... hehe, I'm afraid your fate will not be good either."

"What! Commander Li, do you mean to transfer Yuan Xi to the front line?" Jing Yu's face changed and he said coldly:

"She's just established her foundation, her realm isn't stable yet, and she hasn't even mastered a few foundation-building techniques. What use is she on the battlefield? She's just a bigger Qi-cultivating cultivator!"

Commander Li said slowly, "Many famous warriors also gained their fame through fighting. After training on the front lines, wouldn't they be able to develop the skills to build their foundation?"

"What a sharp-tongued lackey!" Jing Yu pointed at Commander Li's nose and cursed, "I, Taoist Xuan Jing, have been living in seclusion these past few years, yet you, a family dog ​​of Chengming, dared to come up and bite me!"

Commander Li's face changed when he heard this. After all, he and Jing Yu were both Foundation Establishment cultivators, and he also held an official position. He had always been arrogant in his dealings with others. It was only because Jing Yu was an excellent alchemist and had a wide network of contacts in Xiaoyao Immortal City that he had been somewhat tolerant. Who would have thought that he would be so humiliated and scolded by Jing Yu? He was shocked and angry:

"How dare a mere old alchemist in the early stages of foundation building dare to disobey the real person like this!"

Jing Yu was used to maintaining the breath-concealing technique on a daily basis, and had not yet revealed his cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building. In the eyes of Commander Li, he was naturally still an early stage cultivator of foundation building who had reached the end of his path.

How could he know what Jing Yu was thinking?

Jing Yu stared at Commander Li, hurling obscenities at him, while internally he was calculating, "Damn it! The entire Yunchuan Territory alliance has been completely humiliated by the two Nascent Soul-level demonic forces from the Tiannan Territory. The situation has deteriorated to such a degree that the entire territory's fall is only a matter of time. There's even a Golden Core True Immortal fighting on the front lines right now. Let alone a cultivator like Yuan Xi who's just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, even I wouldn't be safe if I went there."

"Why not take this opportunity to take Yuan Xi and seek refuge far away...try to break through the western defenses, or escape directly into the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the north? I have the Mystical Mirror to survey the environment, so there may be a way out."

On this side, Commander Li had even formed a battle formation with a dozen black-armored guards in the Qi Condensation stage. His expression was gloomy. "You refused to accept my toast and then drank the wine for punishment. You dared to openly disobey the Immortal Alliance's orders. Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing is unique. I'm afraid today will not end peacefully..."

Jing Yu laughed and said, "Just a bunch of you rotten fish and shrimp? The Immortal Alliance forcibly recruited independent cultivators to join the war. Even if this matter were brought up before the two Great Immortals, they would not be able to hold their ground! I'm afraid that some people are abusing their power for personal gain and settling personal grudges!"

Zhao Yuanxi looked nervous and whispered, "Uncle, it would be unwise to clash with the official Xiaoyao League guards at this time. Why not let Yuanxi meet the real person first and then act accordingly?"

Jing Yu rolled his eyes. He knew that this was a wise choice made by Zhao Yuanxi after weighing the pros and cons, but it was obvious that his niece had underestimated her fighting ability!
