Asking for a Favor
The group of people from the North Sea Sect whispered among themselves, their words tinged with excitement.
It's no wonder they're like this; these Cultivator from a prestigious Sect, yet they're now doing Servant tasks like sorting ores and herbs, carrying water to tend fields, repairing roads, and maintaining houses.
These people from the Qian Yuan Sect treated them like Ordinary Person with great strength, ordering them around as if they were nothing more than strong people.
But being under someone's roof, they had no choice but to bow their heads and swallow their anger. Now, however, they see hope.
Upon hearing the voice, a Cultivator from the Great Qian army shouted, "Get to work! What are you all standing there for? Anyone who speaks again will be whipped!"
A Divine Platform Cultivator from the Purple Qi Palace couldn't help but say, "You, a mere Dao Fire Cultivator, shouldn't be so arrogant. I advise you to be more polite to us. Now that the Celestial Person from the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect have arrived..."
"Crack!" A whip lashed out, knocking the Divine Platform Cultivator to the ground. Then, a series of whips followed, leaving the Divine Platform Cultivator covered in blood and screaming in agony.
This whip is no ordinary whip. Each lash seems to strike the Physical Body, but in reality, it strikes directly at the Divine Soul. These prisoners, whose cultivation is sealed, how could they withstand it?
The Cultivator nearby noticed this and their expressions changed slightly, their eyes filled with anger, but they dared not speak out.
Some of these Cultivator from the Qian Yuan Sect were fairly decent, but others were completely unruly and would whip people if they displeased them.
"Hmph, I think your Senior Brother has been too polite to you lately. Don't forget you're prisoners of the Qian Yuan Sect now. Let me tell you, you'd better know your place, or I won't hesitate to kill a few of you."
A young Cultivator looked like a playboy passed by and laughed, "Senior Brother Qi, don't kill too many. Such laborers are hard to find."
Senior Brother Qi sneered, "These guys think they're saved just because that Northern Underworld Immortal Sect is here? What a joke! Let me tell you, even if an Elder from the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect came, or even if the entire sect came, as long as... the Sect Master isn't happy, it's all for nothing. If they don't know what's good for them and anger that person, it just so happens that there are too few people on this island!"
The young master-like Cultivator beside him also burst into laughter.
Clearly, they weren't worried at all!
Those who can enter this realm all know something about Gu Yuanqing.
Even if I haven't witnessed it myself, I've heard of it.
They might even have more faith in the Immortal Gu on the mountain than Gu Yuanqing himself.
The Cultivator from the North Sea Sect were both angry and furious, but upon hearing what the Qian Yuan Sect disciple said, their joy had already diminished considerably.
In contrast, the Void Heaven Cultivator who were imprisoned in solitary confinement appeared unusually calm, showing no joy whatsoever in the face of Xiao Liyang's arrival from the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect.
Zou Zhixing, in particular, could guess why Xiao Liyang had come; it was most likely because his junior sister had used the Kunpeng Token, leveraging the Sect's only favor.
He sighed, shook his head, and smiled bitterly. He could only hope that the Qian Yuan Sect would give the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect some face. If they didn't, he was afraid the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect would have no way to deal with it.
The scene of their suppression and capture that day was still vivid in his mind, even after so long. In his eyes, the cultivation level of the father of the Qian Yuan Sect Master was simply boundless.
He himself was a Void Heaven Peak cultivator and had sought guidance from Celestial Person Cultivator, but compared to this man, they seemed to be completely incomparable.
Although Xiao Liyang of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect is strong, he is probably no match for that person!
Li Chengyi was not present today, having returned to Fengtian City to handle some court affairs. Li Shi'an was about to fly up from the Mountain when he suddenly heard Gu Yuanqing's voice. "You all can focus on your cultivation; I'll handle things."
Li Shi'an and the others were only at the Divine Platform Realm; it was far too much of a stretch to ask them to interact with Celestial Person. In fact, even a single glance from them could seriously injure them.
Gu Yuanqing sent out Divine Soul Avatar, then flicked his finger, and a drop of blood shimmering with golden light flew out and disappeared into his Divine Soul.
In an instant, the Divine Soul gradually solidified and finally transformed into another living body.
Gu Yuanqing's Avatar clenched his fist slightly and muttered to himself, "About one-tenth of the main body's power should be equivalent to that of an ordinary Heavenly Transformation Peak."
Then, the Avatar stepped out and disappeared into the Void.
Seeing no response from below, Feng Haoran shouted again, "Elder Xiao Liyang of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect has come to pay a visit. He requests that the Celestial Person Being of the Qian Yuan Sect appear to meet him!"
"Haoran, come back!" Xiao Liyang suddenly said.
Feng Haoran turned around with some confusion.
Xiao Liyang glanced around and slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, Daoist Friend should already be nearby, right?"
Feng Haoran his head and looked around, and suddenly realized that the Calling Card that had been floating under his True Essence was gone. He had not noticed when it had been taken away.
Xiao Liyang's gaze suddenly fixed on one spot.
Then Gu Yuanqing's figure slowly emerged from there. He said with slight surprise, "To be able to find my location, you do have some skill."
Xiao Liyang's pupils narrowed slightly. The reason he was able to detect it was not because of his own power, but because of the Formation of the Spirit Cloud Flying Boat beneath his feet. Even so, it seemed to take a long time before he belatedly realized that the other party had arrived.
This Qian Yuan Sect truly possesses Celestial Person!
No wonder even the Sect in the North Sea with their Sea Shaking Boat are no match for them.
Putting everything else aside, just based on this method of concealment, even I, a Celestial Person, didn't have time to cast the Method Formula. If it were Void Heaven Cultivator, they probably wouldn't even know the other party had arrived.
In the battle between the North Sea Sect and the Qian Yuan Sect, the Sea Shaking Boat was not even fully activated before it was broken into and captured.
"My name is Xiao Liyang of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect. You must be Celestial Person from the Qian Yuan Sect. May I ask your honorable name?" Xiao Liyang said, bowing.
"Gu Yuanqing." This time, Gu Yuanqing did not hide his name. With the increase in his cultivation, he no longer had as many concerns as before.
Not to mention that there are many people in the world with the same name, even if this name reaches the ears of some people in the Cultivation World and they guess its meaning, it doesn't really matter.
"So it's Daoist Friend, a pleasure to meet you!" Xiao Liyang said with a smile, not at all like someone who had come to cause trouble.
Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly and said, "Let's get down to business. Elder Xiao, what brings you to my Qian Yuan Sect from all this way?"
Xiao Liyang laughed heartily, "Daoist Friend is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. I've come here for two reasons: first, I heard of your Sect's emergence and have come on behalf of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect to pay a visit; second, I hope to ask Daoist Friend for a favor!"
"If you are Fellow Cultivator or friend who comes to visit, my Qian Yuan Sect will naturally welcome you with the utmost respect. But what about the favor Daoist Friend mentioned?" Gu Yuanqing asked in a calm tone.
Xiao Liyang clasped his hands and asked, "I would like to hear the truth from Daoist Friend: Cultivator of the Purple Qi Palace, Tianmeng Sect, Flying Immortal Gate, Cloud Sea Sect, Yellow Wind Island, and Divine Intent Island still alive?"
