Top enlightenment at 100 years old-Chapter 460 - 459: The Escort of the Youyue State Lord, the Power of the Holy Land Grotto Heaven Chief
As the words of those around fell, the owners of the few Escape Lights stopped about a thousand feet away from the Golden Armor Car Crown.
There were a total of two men and one woman.
Their cultivation was all at the Void Refining realm.
At this moment, their gazes were all fixed on Ji Haoyuan, who was on the Golden Armor Car Crown, then they bowed and greeted:
"We greet the Grotto Heaven Chief of the Grand Cyan Cave Heaven!
Please forgive us for not welcoming you from afar this time, Chief."
"What? The Grotto Heaven Chief of the Grand Cyan Cave Heaven?"
Hearing the words of the Youyue State Lord and the others, the spectators in the distance once again showed astonished expressions.
"No wonder, it turns out to be the Grotto Heaven Chief of the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.
With such grandeur in travel, it is not surprising at all."
Someone’s face showed a sudden realization.
But there were also those who didn’t understand what the so-called Grotto Heaven Chief of the Grand Cyan Cave Heaven was about after all.
So they asked the people around them.
When they learned about the significance of the Grotto Heaven Chief from informed individuals, each of them couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.
At this time, Ji Haoyuan looked at the three people respectively.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"You all are too kind.
Right now, I just happened to pass by this place, and it seems I have disturbed you all."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man leading the three, the Youyue State Lord, quickly shook his head.
"Chief Ji, please don’t say that.
Your passing by our Youyue State is an honor for our state and for us.
May I ask if Chief Ji has some leisure time?
If possible, please allow us to extend our hospitality."
Clearly, both the Youyue State Lord and his two Vice State Masters were trying their best to make a connection with Ji Haoyuan.
Ji Haoyuan was naturally aware of this.
As a Holy Land Cave Heaven Chief, he usually had some personal dependents outside the sect.
At least as far as he knew, each of the other seven Grotto Heaven Chiefs in the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land had their own power outside the sect on the Central Earth Divine Continent.
Only he, due to his relatively shallow qualifications.
And since he hadn’t been promoted to Void Refining for a long time.
Therefore, he hadn’t had time to cultivate his own external force.
Now, the three of the Youyue State Lord recognized this point.
That’s why they rushed over upon learning about his presence here.
To this, although Ji Haoyuan would not directly refuse them, he would not give an immediate answer either.
After all, his understanding of these three was limited to some superficial things.
How were they as individuals, and whether there was any other influence behind them.
He knew none of these things.
So.
The only thing he could offer them next was goodwill.
"I appreciate your kindness, Youyue State Lord.
However, I indeed have matters to attend to now and need to return to the sect first.
How about this.
This is my identity jade token, let’s arrange a time to meet after I finish dealing with things on hand.
How does that sound?"
As he spoke, Ji Haoyuan pushed out a jade token towards the Youyue State Lord.
Seeing this, the Youyue State Lord, although slightly disappointed, accepted the token with both hands, then politely said:
"In that case, we won’t disturb you any further, Chief Ji.
Anytime you send us a message, we will definitely meet with you at the first opportunity."
At this point, the Youyue State Lord seemed to think of something and continued:
"Oh, right, Chief Ji, this is a small token of our appreciation prepared by me and two fellow Daoists on our way here, please do not decline."
As he spoke, the Youyue State Lord immediately handed over a storage bracelet to Ji Haoyuan politely.
Ji Haoyuan saw this and, after a brief hesitation, accepted the storage bracelet with a smile.
"You’ve been thoughtful, Youyue State Lord.
In that case, I won’t be overly polite with you."
"It is as it should be, as it should be."
Seeing Ji Haoyuan accept the items they offered, the three of them couldn’t help but feel a slight joy.
Then, the graceful female cultivator next to the Youyue State Lord said:
"Chief Ji, how about letting us escort you a bit along the road ahead?"
Upon hearing this, the Youyue State Lord and the other Vice State Master showed expectant expressions.
Ji Haoyuan knew that if he truly wanted to accept them in the future, it would not be good to reject such a small request from them now.
Therefore.
In the next period, everyone in the Youyue State saw it.
In their eyes, the high and mighty State Lord and the two Vice State Masters acted like three attendants, courteously escorting Ji Haoyuan.
Not until Ji Haoyuan’s Golden Armor Car Crown completely left the boundaries of Youyue State did they stop.
Watching the Golden Armor Car Crown carrying Ji Haoyuan disappear from their sight.
The other Vice State Master, who had remained silent, looked toward the Youyue State Lord and the female cultivator, saying:
"State Lord, Lan, do you think Chief Ji will accept us later?"
This person was called Ge Qianshan.
At this moment, upon hearing his question, both the Youyue State Lord and the female cultivator surnamed Lan couldn’t help but smile wryly and shake their heads.
"Well, we can’t say for sure.
But as long as Chief Ji hasn’t refused, we still have a chance.
After all, in this Central Earth Divine Continent, there aren’t many like us who haven’t attached ourselves to any Holy Land’s inner disciples.
The most important thing is, that the one from the Taichong Sacred Land has too large an appetite.
If it weren’t so, you and I wouldn’t be in such a hurry now."
Upon suddenly mentioning the one from Taichong Sacred Land, whether it was the Youyue State Lord, Lan Siyun, or Ge Qianshan, they all fell silent for a moment.
After a short while.
Lan Siyun broke the silence again.
She said, "Actually, for us, there aren’t many options left now.
If Chief Ji is unwilling to accept us, no matter how large the appetite of the one from Taichong Sacred Land is, you and I wouldn’t have any reason to refuse anymore.
After all, for such Holy Land insiders, if they really set their minds on having us follow them, we have no ability to refuse at all.
Right now, the only reason they are giving us time to consider is that they don’t want things to look too ugly.
After all, if he truly intends to have complete control over our Youyue State’s Shadow Moon Spirit Spring, it would be very difficult for him to achieve it without our help."
...
Ji Haoyuan was unaware of the exchange among Youyue State Lord and his companions.
At this moment, he had several jade slips before him.
The content of these jade slips was entirely about the Youyue State and its leadership.
Just now, he had merely sent a message within the sect.
As a result, within seconds, the corresponding information was relayed back in the form of jade slips.
And this is the kind of power a Holy Land Cave Heaven Chief can exert within the sect.
With just a word.
Even if you are a million miles away, the sect can deliver the information you need in the first instance through special means.
