Chapter 110 Reality and Rules
Chapter 110 Reality and Rules
Outside Zhongba City, Elder An and General Long Chenglong, leading a group of monks stationed in the formation signal tower, about a hundred people, came to the edge of the endless forest in a mighty manner, ready to welcome the formation genius in their minds.
As for the reactivation of the formation signal tower, Old An had already reported the reason to the top leaders of the seven major sects before setting off.
After hearing what happened, and with the help of Elder An, the leaders of the seven major sects also saw the potential of the formation genius.
He specially sent Long Cheng to lead a group of monks to welcome him, and also instructed them to treat the formation genius well.
The huge crowd of over a hundred people naturally attracted the attention of many monks outside Zhongba City, and everyone was guessing what had happened.
Before long, many monks gathered at the edge of the Endless Forest to watch.
Some people even discovered that the formation signal tower had been reopened. This had never happened in hundreds of years, so word spread and more and more people came to watch.
"Hmph! That's what I told you! The rules are only made for ordinary monks like us. But for those monks with strength and background, the rules are just a piece of official document." One of the monks watching said indignantly.
"Brother! Why do you say that?" As soon as the monk finished speaking, a monk next to him asked him.
"Did I say something wrong? Have you heard in previous years that the formation signal tower was opened after the Endless Forest Trial ended? And those people are obviously the garrison monks guarding the signal tower. Isn't that obvious enough?" The monk pointed forward and said affirmatively.
"Brother, what you mean is that they are waiting for someone? And that person did not come back at the appointed time, so they opened the formation signal tower specifically for him?" The monk next to him asked as if he suddenly realized something.
"Of course. I guess that wandering monk must have an extraordinary identity and background. He might be the descendant of a high-ranking official from one of the seven sects. That's why I lament that rules are always used to restrain ordinary people." The monk said confidently.
In fact, it was not just the two monks who were discussing this. The monks who were watching were also whispering to each other. There were various versions.
There are even people saying that among the seven major sects, there are high-ranking members whose illegitimate children have not yet come out, and other unrealistic rumors.
"Look! Someone is coming!" A monk in the crowd exclaimed, and then everyone looked towards the direction of the endless forest.
I saw a large group of people flying on swords or in the air. Most of them were cultivators in the Fusion Stage and the Golden Core Stage, and occasionally there were also cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Yuanying Stage.
They are the Qi Refining disciples who did not display their physical skills. This shows that the weakest people are often the ones who abide by the rules the most.
At this time, Long Cheng ordered his subordinates to notify the returning monks to come here to register. The registration was just a simple verification of identity information. They were mainly looking for Lei Junjie with the number 74110.
When Lu Chen saw the land, he had already put the Purple Bamboo Sky Pot into the Golden Pearl World and replaced the flying boat with a magic sword.
At this time, he discovered that many cultivators were coming out of the Endless Forest, flying on swords or walking in the air, and quickly surpassing him. Their speed was so fast that he could only see a streak of light.
"Huh? What's going on? Why are there so many high-level cultivators flying in from the depths of the Endless Forest? Have they also cracked the information jade token like me? Or has the formation signal tower been reopened?" Lu Chen murmured as he was flying on a sword.
In order to confirm his guess, he took out his information jade token and checked with his spiritual sense, and indeed there were two red dots.
This made Lu Chen speechless. If he had known that the formation signal tower would be activated again, why would he have gone through so much trouble?
But he didn't know that the formation signal tower was activated because of him.
When Lu Chen flew to the edge of the endless forest on his sword, he saw many cultivators standing on the grassland and looking in his direction. Lu Chen suddenly felt flattered.
He looked behind him and to his left and right, and it seemed that there were no other cultivators besides himself. For a moment, he didn't know whether to continue moving forward or fly in another direction.
At this time, a scolding voice was heard.
"What are you looking at? Go over there to register. It's really unbelievable that a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage dares to disobey the time rules. You are lucky this time that the signal tower is opened again, otherwise you would not know how you died." The speaker was a cultivator in the early Golden Core stage.
"Okay! Senior!" Lu Chen said respectfully.
When Lu Chen was registering, Old An also took a look at Lu Chen, and seeing that he was just a young cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he immediately looked away.
He would take a look at almost every registered monk in advance. So far, more than 500 monks have returned, but Lei Junjie still has not appeared.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Old An said to himself.
"Hehe... Don't worry, Mr. An. We've only come back halfway. Maybe Lei Junjie went deeper into the field, so it's normal for him to come back later." Long Cheng consoled with a smile.
"Haha...that's right. It seems I was too impatient." Old An said with a self-blaming smile.
After Lu Chen registered, he was not troubled by anyone. He was not interested in joining the crowd and becoming a spectator. He was even too lazy to ask why they were watching here.
I have wasted so much time, I guess Yang Yunfei and the others thought I was dead.
If Zixuan knew the news of his death, would she be sad? Lu Chen smiled when he thought of this.
When I left, I said that I would go to Shun'an City to pick up Zixuan as soon as I came back, so Lu Chen had to hurry to Shun'an City in Qujing Prefecture.
Because he had no spirit stones, Lu Chen specially sold some resources and obtained more than 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones. These spirit stones were used to pay for the teleportation array.
Zixuan gave Lu Chen the impression of being innocent and well-behaved, a bit like the little girl next door. This type of girl is generally gentle and considerate, so Lu Chen had a good impression of Zixuan.
In addition, it was because of Zi Xuan that he obtained the bitter bamboo, one of the ten spiritual roots, so Lu Chen felt that he owed Zi Xuan a lot and made up his mind to compensate her in the future.
Qujing Prefecture, Shunan City, Yang Yunfei has been in a bad mood in recent days. Zixuan’s disappearance made Yang Yunfei feel very guilty.
However, he searched almost the entire Shun'an City but could not find Zixuan's whereabouts, which made him feel like he had failed to live up to Lu Chen's trust.
So this evening, Yang Yunfei took Qi Yutang and Zhao Chengzhi out for a drink to relieve their boredom. The place was of course Shiweixian, a restaurant under the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce, and they booked a private room on the second floor.
Before all the dishes were served, Yang Yunfei started drinking by himself. Zhao Chengzhi and Qi Yutang did not stop him because they knew that Yang Yunfei was sad recently because he had not found Miss Zixuan.
As brothers, sometimes there is no need for too many words. Zhao Chengzhi and Qi Yutang also picked up the wine jugs and started drinking.
