Chapter 321: Dangerous Duel (Part 1)
In the Spirit Cultivation Realm, apart from the disciples of major sects, there are also many rogue Spirit Cultivators. Some continue their cultivation within the realm, while others are enamored with the mortal world’s splendor, scattered among the major nations.
Within the Spirit Cultivation Realm, there are towns populated by ordinary people, and their prosperity is no less than that of the major nations. However, in such a place, it’s highly likely to randomly encounter a hidden master, which reduces one’s sense of superiority.
Therefore, some people prefer to go outside, free and unrestrained. As long as they don’t engage in mass slaughter or interfere with the rise and fall of dynasties, generally, no one bothers them.
This person is named Chen Jiu, known as Jiugui in the underworld, a mid-stage Orange Flame expert, mostly active in the Southern Land.
The Southern Land is a gathering place for foreigners, especially ****, so a specialized organization exists to connect and introduce business opportunities to these idle Spirit Cultivators looking for some benefits.
Chen Jiu has no other hobbies but is lecherous; whenever he hears of a beauty he can lay his hands on, he will never miss it.
He has mixed in the Southern Land for many years and is also famous in the underworld. Spirit Cultivators who generally mix in the mortal world don’t have high cultivation, so Chen Jiu, as an intermediate Orange Flame expert, is already considered top-notch. He usually does not take any business; with his strength, many people voluntarily pay tribute.
These people also have rules: generally, they don’t touch members of the Imperial Family. After all, interfering too much, should the higher-ups in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, those major sects, find out, they won’t let them off either. Because in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, it’s long been stipulated not to interfere with Imperial affairs without authorization.
Therefore, they generally don’t come to places like the Capital City.
The reason Chen Jiu came to Han Jing this time, coincidentally, has its own story.
He has a young disciple who recently broke through to the Crimson Flame level. The disciple, overly excited and eager to enjoy the superiority of being a Spirit Cultivator, took on many jobs. Recently, being idle, Chen Jiu listened to the young disciple complain about taking a job in the Capital City to capture a woman, which insulted his strength. However, curious about the Capital City, the disciple decided to accept it. Chen Jiu found it intriguing upon hearing about it and decided to follow.
After meeting the woman who financed the job, the disciple reported back that she wanted to bind a noble lady from the Capital. Always intrigued by such women, Chen Jiu became interested and decided to handle it personally. Having tasted many women from the Southern Land and grown tired of them, he wondered what a noble lady from the Capital would be like?
However, once action began, Chen Jiu found it even more interesting: "No wonder it’s the Capital City; no wonder they need a Spirit Cultivator. Turns out there are experts hidden everywhere! However, kid, you are still green in front of your Grandpa Jiugui! When I was making a name for myself, you hadn’t even grown your feathers!"
Su Xingqiao naturally knew he wouldn’t be the opponent of the other party in a fight, but his years of battle experience weren’t for naught. Moreover, receiving guidance from Su Yu since childhood, can he be compared to ordinary people? Even if he’s not the opponent, holding off the person for a short time isn’t a problem!
"Jing’er, go to the Yao Xiang Pavilion to find Yun Feng immediately; I’ll be there soon!"
