We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Beauty Trap

This conference was massive, and as the preeminent intelligence agency in Jiuzhou, Tianji Tower certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

The Tower’s leader also envisioned a major initiative: compiling a ranking of cultivators of all levels in Jiuzhou. This conference presented a prime opportunity to gather intelligence.

Consequently, Tianji Tower disciples were stationed throughout the Great Zhou Imperial City, observing the movements of the cultivators attending the conference.

One Tianji Tower disciple noticed that Jiang Li’s group, with several Nascent Soul stage cultivators attending the conference, was generating buzz. Following them and interviewing them, he thought he might even be able to get featured in the Tianji Newspaper, earning him contribution points.

With this in mind, he quickly approached.

“Hello, five True Immortals! I’m Lü Kai, a disciple of Tianji Tower,” the disciple introduced himself. “Excuse me, could you please take a moment of your time to ask a few questions?”

“Of course, go ahead,” Bai Hongtu said.

“May I ask what your purpose is in attending the tournament?”

This was a routine question, and Lü Kai didn’t expect any surprising answers. They simply wanted fame, the favor of powerful forces, generous rewards, and a desire to show off.

“Reclaim the title of Kyushu’s greatest swordsman.”

“Secure it,”

Sword Lord and Bai Hongtu said simultaneously. Lü Kai’s mouth twitched. Such bravado! Two Nascent Soul cultivators competing, still hoping to claim the title of Kyushu’s greatest swordsman?

“You two… have great ambitions,” Lü Kai muttered after a long pause, turning his gaze to Yu Yin.

Even with her altered appearance, Yu Yin remained a rare beauty, and Lü Kai felt she would be able to offer a reasonable answer. “Fight to the death,” Yu Yin’s eyes blazed with murderous intent. Four Tribulation Crossing cultivators attending the tournament—what else could they do? A battle to the death.   Of course,

a fight to the death didn’t necessarily mean a fight to the death.   Determining the superiority of the Tribulation Crossing cultivators wasn’t difficult; the challenge lay in killing them. Unless the gap between the two was enormous, they could fight for a year without a single casualty.   ”I’m causing trouble for Ji Zhi,” Li Er said frankly.   Li Er dressed simply, looked honest, and had dark skin, resembling a farmer. No one would have guessed he was even in the Tribulation Crossing stage.   Had Jiang Li not confirmed that the dragon girl, Li Nian’er, bore Li Er’s bloodline, he would have been incredulous. He simply couldn’t believe Li Er could have fathered such a beautiful daughter. He   could only say that a daughter takes after her.   ”You all are very interesting,” Lü Kai said dryly, turning his gaze back to Jiang Li.   ”I understand you’re a Spirit Transformation Realm Master. I wonder what you’re hoping to achieve by leading them to the conference?”   ”Success will be to avoid destroying the Imperial City,”   Lü Kai chuckled inwardly. He knew the arena was encircled by a formation that would be impossible for even a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator to break.   It was simply unrealistic of these cultivators to imagine themselves.   ”The theme of this conference is to encourage the use of spiritual treasures. Do you intend to use spiritual treasures that generate spiritual intelligence?” Lü Kai added.   Yu Yin patted the gourd without saying anything, but the gourd swayed back and forth, asserting its presence.   Bai Hongtu and Jian Jun didn’t respond. Bai Hongtu   ’s Falling Rain Sword had indeed developed intelligence and was learning sword techniques at a rapid pace, but it was still far from keeping up with Bai Hongtu’s pace.   Bai Hongtu had practiced swordsmanship for five hundred years, and the Falling Rain Sword couldn’t catch up in just a few years.   Bai Hongtu had the Weapon Refining Peak forge another spiritual sword for him to use, but he wouldn’t use the Falling Rain Sword for the time being.   After his resurrection, Jian Jun found the spiritual treasure’s intelligence novel, but he faced the same problem as Bai Hongtu: lacking a suitable spiritual treasure, he opted to use his original sword.   Li Er rubbed the back of his head and smiled innocently, “If there were an immortal artifact I could use, it would be fine. But other spiritual treasures aren’t as strong as my body, so forget it.”   Upon hearing this, Lu Kai became very interested in these people.   No one who has reached the Nascent Soul stage is a fool. These immortals’ shocking statements must be extraordinary.   His intuition told him that following these people until the end of the conference would yield great rewards.   He asked Lu Kai to ask if he could stay with them, and none of them refused.   ”I’ll leave for a while and find you later,” Jiang Li said, disappearing from the spot.   …   In the Imperial City’s distinguished guest reception building, representatives from numerous factions gathered.   ”Four Dragon Kings, long time no see.”   ”Saintess of Pure Heart, are you here representing the Red Dust Pure Land?”   ”The Awakened One is contemplating a crucial stage in the Buddhist understanding and cannot leave. Fragrant Elephant Bodhisattva is representing the Buddhist sect at the conference.” Fragrant Elephant Bodhisattva was a beautiful woman with a red dot between her eyebrows, fair skin, a white dress, barefoot, eyes closed, and few words.   It was said that she aspired to cultivate the divine eye, one of the six great supernatural powers of Buddhism.   ”Emperor Wei, Emperor Mengjiang, you two are here too. I’ve been wanting to ask you a question for a while. I heard that a few years ago, you two had a fight over the Mengjiang Imperial City. I wonder what caused it?”   ”It cannot be said, it cannot be said.” Of course, Emperor Wei and Emperor Mengjiang could not reveal the Red Dust Fairy.   ”Just satisfy my curiosity.” The Hehuan Sect leader held his chest with his left arm, his index finger touching his lips, a charming expression. “We’re considering opening a branch sect in the Great Wei or the Mengjiang Dynasty.”   The Pure Heart Saint spat, expressing disdain for the Hehuan Sect leader’s actions.   They were just two useless creatures.   The Wei Emperor and the Mengjiang Emperor were men of immense fortitude, so naturally they were tempted by the honey trap.   ”Sect Master Meng really loves to dig deep,”   a soft laugh interrupted their thoughts. With the Pure Heart Saint present, she naturally had to stop them from speaking out.   Otherwise, how could there be peace in the Mortal Realm?   Suddenly, the Wei Emperor and the Mengjiang Emperor realized their own battle for love, how Jiang Li had hammered them to the ground in three breaths, forcing them to call for the imperial physician. Then, remembering Jiang Li’s warning not to tell anyone about the Red Dust Fairy, they quickly shut up, letting the Hehuan Sect leader’s honey trap prove ineffective.

“Saint Jingxin is being too controlling.” The leader of the Hehuan Sect, Meng Youyou, wasn’t annoyed by Saint Jingxin’s interruption, but instead smiled. “I wonder if you can control Emperor Jiang Ren?”

“Why should I care about Jiang Li?” Saint Jingxin snorted.

“I thought you liked him,” Meng Youyou feigned surprise. “I can’t believe I misunderstood.”

“Who would like him?” Saint Jingxin turned her head away, inexplicably irritated.

As the master of the Great Zhou, Ji Zhi was naturally here too. Hearing Saint Jingxin’s response, he held his forehead helplessly. “How long will it take for you to catch up with Jiang Li?”

“I don’t steal other people’s love. If that’s the case, then if I pursue Jiang Renhuang, I’m sure the Saint Maiden won’t say much.” Meng Youyou walked lightly with lotus steps to the side of the Pure Heart Saint Maiden, leaned over and gently blew on her pink earlobe, “Jiang Renhuang is so powerful, dual cultivation must be a unique experience, I’m not kidding.”

“You…” The Pure Heart Saint Maiden gritted her teeth, “As you wish.”

“Why does Sect Master Meng want to pursue me and ask me for help?” Jiang Li suddenly appeared at the side and asked, “But the spirit platform is split?”
