This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 708 - 600: Bluffing Through_3

The appearance of these people was far too strange; the two had not sensed them at all until they were upon them, which meant they were at least Great Cultivators of the Seventh Realm!

"Who goes there!"

Qian Cong, his face full of vigilance, shouted loudly!

The Abyssal Aura could not be faked, these must be Abyss Cultivators, which was why Qian Cong and his companion did not immediately retaliate.

However, in the ruthless world of the Abyss Cultivators, killing did not require a reason, and even if they were all Abyss Cultivators, it was like insects raised in cups, only survival granted the right to speak.

Therefore, remaining on guard was necessary.

"Moro Domain, disciples of the Qingkong Sect."

As the dust settled, three men and three women appeared before Qian Cong - three Sword Cultivators, two Daoist Practitioners, and one Body Cultivator, all at the early stage of the Seventh Realm, wearing identical indigo-colored Sect disciple robes, and with a mighty demon tiger at their feet.

The six showed no attempt to hide their auras, their wounded, weary, and impatient expressions seeming as though they had just fought a fierce battle.

The rough man with a bristly beard took out a Token and casually tossed it to Qian Cong.

Qian Cong quickly caught it. He had heard of the Moro Domain's Qingkong Sect; it seemed to be a prominent First-Grade Sect in the Moro Domain, and its Sect Leader appeared to be a direct descendant of Emissary Qiu Feng.

Most famous of all for Qingkong Sect was its possession of the Qing Luo veins, with the rare and precious Qing Luo stones, and it was precisely thanks to these veins that they clung to Emissary Qiu Feng's coattails, gradually becoming a First-class force!

Qian Cong looked down at the Token in his hands, wrought of the familiar iron-blue Qing Luo stone, with the word "Qingkong" inscribed on it and the unique Spirit Rune of the Qingkong Sect etched into one corner.

Qian Cong and Sun Zhou themselves also hailed from a First-Grade Sect, but theirs was the Mo Pool Sect of the Beisheng Domain, located far from the Qingkong Sect with almost no contact on a regular basis.

After verifying the authenticity of the Token, Qian Cong cautiously returned it, with no intention of allowing passage, however.

"Checked it and still not letting us through?"

The bristled-beard bulky man put the Token away and gave Qian Cong a disdainful glare.

Besides the husky man, the rest also showed unchanged expressions, wondering what there was to check.

"Apologies, everyone. It's our duty as personally ordered by Lord Cang Dong. We still have some questions to ask, please bear with us."

Qian Cong gave an awkward smile and motioned with his hand for the other Abyss Cultivators that had gathered around to step back as a gesture of goodwill.

With similar influence and power, but lower cultivation than their opponents, Qian Cong had no choice but to invoke the name of Emissary Cang Dong.

Upon hearing the name of Cang Dong, the bristled-beard man and the others stifled their anger, indicating they were forcefully suppressing their rage.

"We are curious why you all appeared from this direction? If I'm not mistaken, the battlefield should be in the opposite direction."

Sun Zhou, who had yet to speak, suddenly raised the question, his tone implying some doubt.

It must be known that not long ago, some delegates had been dispatched personally, and these people had emerged just right after they had gone, which was indeed a bit too coincidental.

"Are you freaking picking a fight here?"

The bristled-beard husky man's eyes widened in anger, rolling up his sleeves as if ready to teach Sun Zhou a lesson.

Seeing this, the Abyss Cultivators who had just dispersed gathered again, holding their Magical Treasures in hand, and the atmosphere immediately dropped to freezing point.

"Da Zhuang!"

Just as the bristled-beard husky man was about to make a move, a flat voice rang out, stopping him.

Qian Cong and Sun Zhou looked over and saw that among these people, the one with the highest status, a young woman, had spoken up.

Although the young woman appeared calm, these two old sly foxes still noticed some clues.

She must be the kind of spoilt young mistress, clearly holding a high status, it was just uncertain if she was the daughter of an elder or the Sect Master's daughter.

"May I know how to address you?"

Sun Zhou asked cautiously.

"Xiao Ruoning!"

The flat-chested woman replied indifferently.

Upon hearing this name, Qian Cong and Sun Zhou exchanged a look, both contemplating.

Since the Sect Leader of the Qingkong Sect was surnamed Xiao, the identity of this young woman was self-evident.

"The two of us, along with Lord Qiu Feng, were repelling the enemies from Mystical Mechanism, encountered a small squad of the Black Xuan Army from Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty in a minor Secret Realm, and after a battle to the death to eliminate them, we found ourselves here when we came out."

Xiao Ruoning did not care about their looks but simply recounted the events that had happened before in a succinct manner, casually taking out several heavy black Tokens and tossing them to Sun Zhou.

"This is the Token that Black Xuan Army soldiers carry with them at all times, all of us are wounded, could we move along now?"

Sun Zhou caught the bloodstained Token, and without checking he knew these were indeed the Black Xuan Tokens that Black Xuan Army soldiers carried and would not part with even in death. The murderous aura and bloodstains on the Tokens could not be faked, truly evidence of a recent fierce battle.

And those minor Secret Realms that would drift around in the Void Turbulence, ending up at different locations upon entering and exiting, were too common.

"Many apologies for the offense. Here are some Elixirs, please kindly accept them!"

With a smile, Sun Zhou returned the Tokens and also took out several vials of his treasured healing Spirit Pills and handed them to Xiao Ruoning. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

They had just used the name of Emissary Cang Dong to pressure the others, and although it was reasonable, the looks on their faces made it obvious they would be begrudged.

Being remembered by a group of Seventh Realm Cultivators was not something desirable, so if it could be resolved with Elixirs, it would be best to do so; if not, Sun Zhou would resort to certain last-ditch methods.

Qian Cong followed suit as well, taking out his treasured Spirit Pills.

Seeing the Spirit Pills and then looking at the smiling faces of the two, Xiao Ruoning pondered for a while and finally accepted the Elixirs with a smile.

"Then we thank you both!"
