In an instant, all the monks' eyes turned towards Li Qingyun who was paused on the stairs with Xue Hongyi in his arms.
That look is quite complicated...
But the most important emotions are shock and regret.
What was shocking was that the city lord was so polite to this person and called him a Taoist friend, which showed how high this person's cultivation was.
What I regret is that if I could befriend such a powerful man and get a few words of advice, I might be able to change my destiny...
But he didn't grasp it just now, and even laughed at him.
Li Qingyun did not pay attention to everyone's gaze, but carefully reached out his hand and patted Xue Hongyi's beautiful back in full view of everyone.
"Fellow Daoist Xue, get up quickly, everyone is looking at you."
Xue Hongyi raised her head from Li Qingyun's chest and immediately saw the direct gazes of many monks on the first floor. Her pretty face suddenly turned red, and Ying Ning hid directly behind Li Qingyun with a cry.
After doing this, Li Qingyun smiled and cupped his hands to the city lord in the center of the crowd, and said: "Fellow Taoist, don't get me wrong, this is just an ordinary fellow Taoist."
"Hahahaha... I understand, I understand." The city lord laughed and stepped forward, and the monks around him all made way for him.
When he walked in front of Li Qingyun, he also bowed deeply and said, "I, Murong Yan, have met my Taoist friend."
Li Qingyun said: "Li Qingyun."
"I wonder where your friend is from?" Murong Yan asked.
Li Qingyun did not speak, but just smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's not good for fellow Taoist to come to me so presumptuously and suddenly ask me such a question."
Li Qingyun said cautiously.
When the other party came up, he said that he had just arrived on Suzaku Planet. Apparently, he found out through some means that he was not from Suzaku Planet, so he no longer hid it, but he still decided to keep it a secret that he came from the spirit world.
"Hahaha... Taoist fellows are right!" Murong Yan laughed and said, "In that case, I would like to ask the three fellow Taoists to move to my official residence and have a chat."
Li Qingyun raised his eyebrows, turned around and asked Xue Hongyi's opinion: "Fellow Daoist Xue, are you willing to come over?"
"It all depends on fellow Taoist." Xue Hongyi hid behind Li Qingyun, her voice already inaudible.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Taoist Murong." Li Qingyun smiled at Murong Yan.
"Wherever, fellow Taoist, please come!"
Murong Yan waved his hand, and a path of spiritual power spread out from under the feet of the three people, leading directly to the Sutra Pavilion.
Li Qingyun raised his eyebrows. This kind of hospitality ceremony is not bad. He can give it to Feng Yong in the future and let him use it to receive the distinguished guests of Qingshan Sect.
The three of them walked out of the Sutra Pavilion, followed Murong Yan on the back of a huge white bird, and flew away with the strong wind.
And as the three people left, the monks in the Sutra Pavilion looked at the sky, feeling a little lost.
The Lord of the City only had a dozen breaths from the time he came in to the time he left, and he didn't even open his eyes to look at them.
As for the senior who was willing to communicate with them and was hidden in the Sutra Pavilion, they missed the opportunity...
Zhang Lingdong, the person in charge of the Sutra Pavilion, glanced at these monks and sighed slightly in his heart.
What happened today had a great impact on the monks in the Sutra Pavilion, and it might even become their inner demon.
But he didn't stay too long, and immediately activated the escape light and headed towards the city lord's palace.
Of course, if you report the situation yourself, you have to participate.
…
…
Inside the city lord's palace.
After listening to Zhang Lingdong and Murong Yan's explanations, Li Qingyun suddenly realized that it was the abnormality in his reading of the classics that caught Zhang Lingdong's attention, and he then speculated that he might be from outside the Suzaku Star.
He smiled and asked: "Looking at how skilled the two of them are, could it be said that monks from other than Suzaku Star often enter Chiyan City?"
Hearing this, Murong Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, you are joking. There are very few monks who can travel through the starry sky and from one ancient star of life to another. Except for the powerful ones at the holy level, there are only monks like you.
Only such a powerful and wealthy monk can do this."
Li Qingyun nodded lightly when he heard this.
There are many stars in the starry sky, but there are very few ancient stars that can give birth to life.
The distance from one ancient life star to another may sometimes take even a saint-level expert several years to reach, which is not easy.
When Murong Yan saw Li Qingyun nodding slightly, he thought that his secret flattery had achieved the effect, so he smiled and said: "Now fellow Taoist should believe that we have no ill intentions."
Li Qingyun nodded lightly: "But fellow Taoist Murong, you haven't answered my question yet."
Murong Yan was stunned: "Didn't you just answer it?"
Li Qingyun smiled and said: "What I asked fellow Taoist is whether monks from other than Suzaku Star often visit Blazing Flame City. What fellow Taoist answered me was not the answer to this question."
Murong Yan's expression suddenly turned solemn and serious.
He knew that the monk in front of him was not the kind of young master who came from a powerful force and traveled to various ancient planets of life after becoming successful, but a strong man who had truly experienced life and death.
Only this kind of strong person will be cautious at all times and detect the perfunctory and deception of his opponent at any time.
"In these ten thousand years, fellow Taoist monk is the first monk outside the Suzaku Star to come to Blazing Flame City."
"Within 100,000 years, fellow Taoist is the second one."
"For the entire Yanyu, in the past 100,000 years, fellow Taoist is the third one." Murong Yan even told Li Qingyun about the situation in the Yanyu.
Li Qingyun nodded, very satisfied with Murong Yan's answer, and asked: "Where are the two outsiders?"
Murong Yan said: "After a short stay, they have all left."
"Okay, thank you fellow Taoist for telling me that I am from the underworld. I don't know if you know this place." Li Qingyun replied cautiously.
"Underworld?" Murong Yan asked in surprise: "It sounds like the name of a big world?"
"I've never heard of it. It must be quite far away from the Suzaku Star."
Li Qingyun was stunned,
Never heard of it?
"Fellow Taoist, you might as well ask the saint-level experts, they might know." Li Qingyun reminded Murong Yan.
"Haha..." Murong Yan smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary. On the Suzaku Star, I, Murong Yan, probably know the most about the starry sky classics. Those saints have lived for endless years, and at most they know as much as I do.
almost."
"If I don't know, they certainly don't know either."
"I can tell you Taoist friends with certainty that with the Suzaku star as the center and the distance that a saint can travel in 50,000 years as a ring, there is no such place as the underworld mentioned by fellow Taoists."
"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to hide it. Being able to travel such a long distance shows that your background is more terrifying than I imagined."
After speaking, Murong Yan laughed again.
But Li Qingyun was stunned on the spot, unable to laugh.
