After saying that, Menggu Jun also noticed Liu Nian following behind Ling Yue'er, and his face immediately darkened.

"Liunian? You brought Yue'er here?"

"You're just a rank five pseudo-immortal, yet you dare bring Yue'er here? Don't you know how dangerous this place is? What are your intentions?"

As he spoke, Menggu Jun's terrifying aura of an eighth-level pseudo-immortal was looming and pressing towards Liu Nian.

Ling Yue'er, as the Holy Maiden of Jiuxiao Yunzong and his only direct disciple, can be said to be the future successor of Jiuxiao Yunzong, and he has high hopes for her.

And Liu Nian actually brought Ling Yue'er to this place, which is now arguably the most dangerous place in the entire Second Heaven, without his consent.

This kind of behavior has touched Menggu Jun's bottom line.

If Liu Nian hesitated now, or gave an answer that he could not accept, he would immediately take action and destroy Liu Nian's body and soul.

Liu Nian could naturally feel this terrifying sense of oppression. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly spoke.

"Master, please don't misunderstand me. I have absolutely no intention of harming the Saint. On the contrary, I want to work with the Saint to find a powerful helper for you and the Jiuxiaoyun Sect so that the Jiuxiaoyun Sect can survive this catastrophe."

Menggu Jun frowned. Although he didn't completely believe Liu Nian's words, he still loosened his pressure and turned to look at Ling Yue'er.

"What's going on, Yue'er, tell me."

Ling Yue'er knew her master very well, so she naturally felt Menggu Jun's murderous intent just now, and her pretty face turned pale immediately.

"Master, please don't blame Master Liu. This was also my disciple's idea."

"The day before yesterday, when I was out with Master Liu, I met a mysterious person."

As she spoke, Ling Yue'er recounted what had happened previously.

Finally, he said, "Master, that Senior Zhong Qing is extremely profound and unfathomable. Now, Old Liu has become his registered disciple."

"If we can use this relationship to get that senior to form an alliance with my Jiuxiaoyun Sect, and join the forces of the two masters, we will have some ability to protect ourselves even if we face a major war between immortal sects."

When Menggu Jun heard that Zhong Qing casually bestowed a magic weapon on his disciple, he was also shocked.

But then he shook his head secretly.

How could it be so easy to find a magical weapon?

Not to mention his Jiuxiaoyun Sect, even for the four major immortal sects, a real immortal weapon is the most precious treasure of the sect.

How could it be given to disciples?

Just ask the four major sects whether they are willing to bestow immortal weapons upon even their senior elders?

He was afraid that his foolish disciple and Liu Nian had made a mistake and mistook the quasi-immortal weapon for an immortal weapon.

After all, Liu Nian was only a fourth-level pseudo-immortal at that time, and Ling Yue'er's cultivation was even lower. She had never seen a true immortal weapon, so it was normal for her to make a mistake.

Of course, even if it is a quasi-immortal weapon, to be able to give it to a disciple whose cultivation is not as good as Liu Nian, Zhong Qing is indeed extraordinary.

Although he had never heard of the Good Fortune Pill, it could actually repair the soul of a pseudo-immortal Taoist, and was definitely a treasure no less than a quasi-immortal weapon.

But even so, Menggu Jun was full of doubts in his heart.

What is Zhong Qing's intention in giving quasi-immortal weapons and elixirs casually?

Liu Nian is just a fourth-level pseudo-immortal, old, and with average talent. Even if he is sold dozens of times, it will not be worth the value of the elixir.

What's the purpose of giving him the Creation Pill?

Is it really just to accept a registered disciple and give a gift as a disciple-making gift?

What a joke, even the four great sects are not so generous.

Thinking of this, Menggu Jun was shocked.

If anyone can plot something, it is probably only his Jiuxiaoyun Sect.

This Zhong Qing probably knew Ling Yue'er's identity and wanted to use Ling Yue'er to get close to Jiuxiao Yunzong.

Such a huge price was paid just for this. Menggu Jun couldn't even imagine what the real intention was.

Thinking of this, his expression changed and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Zhong Qing's origins are unknown, and his good and evil qualities are unknown. It's best not to get close to him."

"Yue'er, I know you care about the sect and me, but people out there are treacherous and full of cunning tricks. You must not trust others easily."

Hearing what Menggu Jun said, Liu Nian's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Menggu Jun probably didn't believe Zhong Qing, and he immediately became very anxious.

He is so old and it is not his first day to travel in the outside world. If Zhong Qing had any plans, with his strength and means, he could have captured him at the Hundred Sects Conference.

But in fact, if they had not met Zhong Qing's disciples by chance, nothing would have happened later.

Moreover, the elixir given by Zhong Qing really helped him cure his son.

In Liu Nian's opinion, Zhong Qing's great kindness to him was simply beyond his ability to repay.

Seeing that his sect leader no longer trusted his master Zhong Qing, Liu Nian became anxious and was about to speak.

Suddenly, Ling Yue'er pointed to the distance and called out in surprise, "Master Liu, look who that is?"

Menggu Jun frowned.

How come it seems like my disciple didn't listen to anything I just said?

I was just about to open my mouth and scold him in a sterner tone.

But then Liu Nian beside him exclaimed in surprise: "That's... Master? Why is he there?"

Meng Gujun was startled: "Your master?"

His first reaction was Liu Nian’s master in Jiuxiaoyun Sect. He was once an elder in the sect, but he had been dead for 100,000 years. How could he be here?

But the next moment, he reacted.

The one Liu Nian was talking about was his new master, Zhong Qing?

He subconsciously looked in the direction the two men pointed.

Then he saw at a glance the young man standing at the bow of the huge sword-shaped flying boat, standing with the father and son of Xu Qianfeng, the leader of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

This was the person they had just been discussing.

"It's him?"

Menggu Jun was stunned.

He never imagined that the Zhong Qing mentioned by Ling Yue'er and Liu Nian was actually the young man on the bow of the ship.

"It's really Senior Zhong Qing, why is he with someone from Yuhua Xianmen?"

Ling Yue'er was amazed.

The moment Menggujun saw Zhong Qing, countless guesses flashed through his mind.

"Is this person from Yuhua Xianmen... No, it doesn't look like it."

"Then could it be..."

Although we don’t know the other party’s specific origins, it now seems that the other party has already participated in the battle between the Yuhua Immortal Sect and the Shangqing Immortal Sect, and has directly stood on the side of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

The previous events also found an answer from Menggu Jun.

This person might have defected to the Yuhua Immortal Sect. The reason why he wanted to get close to me through Ling Yue'er and the others was probably to help the Yuhua Immortal Sect win over his Jiuxiao Yun Sect!

After all, the Jiuxiaoyun Sect is the strongest force in the entire Second Heaven, outside of the four major immortal sects, and is also the closest to the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

In the war between the two sects, if they want to win over other forces, Jiuxiaoyun Sect will definitely be at the top of the list!

Although he hadn't said a single word, at this moment, Menggu Jun had already imagined a whole plot in his mind.
