"This..."
Xiao Baiming’s expression imdiately froze.
He wanted to say sothing more, but Master Bi Chenzi was clearly not giving him the opportunity.
Instead, he turned to Ji Haoyuan, smiled, and said:
"Nanhua Dao You, if you don’t mind, I will have soone take you to that third-tier high-grade cave dwelling. What do you think?"
In his view, his earlier words did not present any problem.
On the contrary, his comnts were entirely considering the other party’s interests.
Having just arrived here, the other party had no reason to refuse such an offer.
Unfortunately, he did not understand Ji Haoyuan in the end.
In fact.
When he heard that the person before him hailed from the True Words Sect, a hint of coldness arose in his heart.
Moreover, he had already decided that in future, unless necessary, he wouldn’t respond or show any indication regardless of what this person said.
Thus.
When Master Bi Chenzi inquired about his opinion, Ji Haoyuan directly ignored his words and focused his gaze on Xiao Baiming, smiling:
"Xiao Dao You, regarding the cave dwelling, I’d still appreciate your help in arranging it for ."
His deanor instantly caused Master Bi Chenzi’s eyes to narrow sharply.
A fierce look flashed deep within his eyes.
On the other side, Xiao Baiming, and several others, were clearly surprised.
Evidently, they didn’t expect Ji Haoyuan to outright ignore Master Bi Chenzi.
It seed that between these two...
Several people present couldn’t help but feel tense inwardly.
So even regretted coming there.
But Xiao Baiming, after the initial shock, seed to understand, imdiately nodding and smiling at Ji Haoyuan.
"In that case, allow to personally arrange a cave dwelling for you, Nanhua Dao You."
"Yes, then I would really appreciate it, Xiao Dao You."
Ji Haoyuan politely thanked him.
Before coming here, he had already learned in detail that in East Mountain Pass, apart from a few Independent Practitioner Golden Cores, Xiao Baiming was indeed a suitable candidate for cooperation.
This person hails from the Nascent Soul Xiao Family.
Though he has late Golden Core cultivation, the information from Shi Siyao revealed that after advancing to late Golden Core, he used so relatively clever thods.
This resulted in his combat strength in late Golden Core not being particularly strong.
Moreover, within East Mountain Pass, he was often suppressed by Master Bi Chenzi from the True Words Sect.
His influence was not that great.
Not even as strong as Xiahou Qingshan from the Golden Core family.
This is why when he saw Ji Haoyuan, a person of late Golden Core combat strength, arrive here, he exhibited such an attitude.
At this mont.
Ji Haoyuan had already followed Xiao Baiming towards the eastern defense line of East Mountain Pass.
Making Master Bi Chenzi’s face no longer able to maintain his composure, it beca instantly sullen.
A man with a scar on his forehead approached him, eyes gleaming coldly, and transmitted a ssage:
"Fellow Daoist Bi Chenzi, that Nanhua was taken to the eastern defense line by that Xiao fellow. What should we do next?"
This man is nad Gao Quan, one of the five from that council eting.
Upon hearing his words, Master Bi Chenzi’s sullen face imdiately showed a trace of coldness, his eyes narrowing and coldly replying:
"Hmph!"
"Since he’s co here, no matter where he ends up stationed, I’ll ensure that defense line bears the heaviest responsibilities!"
...
"Nanhua Dao You, this cave dwelling is the best mid-grade third-tier cave dwelling on our eastern defense line.
Although it can’t compare to the third-tier high-grade cave dwelling on the northern defense line, it is stable.
Afterwards, if nothing major happens, you can rest in the cave dwelling, Nanhua Dao You."
In front of a cave dwelling rich in Spiritual Qi.
Xiao Baiming spoke to Ji Haoyuan with a smile.
Upon hearing his words, Ji Haoyuan’s heart imdiately moved, and he couldn’t help but ask:
"Xiao Dao You, you ntioned this cave dwelling is stable.
Does that an the third-tier high-grade cave dwelling Master Bi Chenzi ntioned is...?"
Xiao Baiming nodded.
"I won’t hide it from you, that cave dwelling - though third-tier high-grade, is located in the area of East Mountain Pass most frequently attacked by Demon Beasts.
If you had chosen that cave dwelling back then, you likely wouldn’t have a peaceful ti for the next few years."
Indeed.
After listening to Xiao Baiming’s explanation, Ji Haoyuan sneered inwardly.
He had just arrived, and calculated against already.
It seems True Words Sect genuinely wants to eliminate him.
Thinking of this, a surge of killing intent rose in his heart.
Once Xiao Baiming bid farewell and left, Ji Haoyuan used his Divine Thought to inspect the entire cave dwelling.
Although he considered Xiao Baiming soone he could cooperate with here, maintaining so caution was still necessary.
With his current peak Golden Core Divine Thought cultivation, there is no way to conceal anything from his inspection.
After confirming that there were no issues in the cave dwelling, he sat down and began to adjust his breath gradually.
For several months, Ji Haoyuan barely left his cave dwelling.
Except for a few exchanges with Xiao Baiming and several other Independent Practitioner Golden Cores stationed there, it seed he wasn’t here for a guard mission at all.
Until two months later.
A ssage suddenly arrived outside his cave dwelling.
Removing the restrictions and taking the ssage into his hands, Ji Haoyuan’s face instantly displayed a cold smile.
"Has it finally co?"
Having said that, he no longer hesitated, stood up, left the cave dwelling, and headed towards the Council Hall where thirteen Golden Core cultivators were gathering.
At this mont.
Several people were already seated in the Council Hall.
Among them were Xiao Baiming, Master Bi Chenzi, and Xiahou Qingshan.
When Ji Haoyuan entered the Council Hall, he imdiately felt several gazes landing directly on him.
Though well concealed.
With his peak Golden Core Divine Thought, Ji Haoyuan could still clearly capture several malicious intents.
However, he didn’t care and approached Xiao Baiming with a smile to sit beside him.
When all thirteen Golden Core cultivators were gathered in the Council Hall, Master Bi Chenzi promptly spoke:
"Everyone, we have just received news that there will soon be a large beast tide attack at our northern defense line in East Mountain Pass.
You must know what this implies."
"Large beast tide?"
Suddenly hearing Master Bi Chenzi’s words, the faces of many Golden Core cultivators present transford dramatically.
They certainly knew what a large beast tide implied.
Truth be told, none of the beast tides experienced at East Mountain Pass so far had ever reached the scale of a large beast tide.
At most, they had approached it.
But now, according to Master Bi Chenzi, the beast tide soon appearing at the northern defense line of East Mountain Pass would be a true large beast tide.
Now, they were indeed facing a real problem.
