Star Trace Gate

Chapter 729: The Red Tide of Xingshan Mountain, the Crimson Sky

City Lord’s Mansion, inner hall.

Long Yuqing carefully took the green bamboo branch from Ren Ye's hand, and after looking at it carefully, her face flushed with excitement. She exclaimed: "The spiritual energy emitted by this green bamboo branch is extremely abundant, and it contains a sense of righteousness, which can overcome the strange and dark aura. This thing is emerald green like a wishful thinking, and the green leaves are crystal clear, which means good luck. It is indeed a branch broken from the treasure of the immortal bamboo. Great, great...!"

His eyes were fixed on the green bamboo branches with excitement, and he was observing them very carefully. He looked so cautious that perhaps even the person whose name was unknown in this acupoint had never been treated like this before.

Oh, this city lord is indeed a green player, with extraordinary appreciation and vision for all green rare and precious herbs. However... if he knew that this noble branch was once a tool used by Ren Ye to rob red gold, comparable to tape and binding rope, I wonder if he would still treat it so carefully.

Ren Ye said thoughtfully, "As long as the city lord likes it."

While admiring the branches, Long Yuqing asked happily, "How could you give away such a precious treasure so casually? It seems that your family wealth is quite amazing."

"No, no." Ren Ye immediately waved his hands and said, "Lord City Lord, how could I give it to someone casually? After I got this, I was also very happy, and I almost took it as a family heirloom... But now I know that Lord City Lord really likes exotic flowers and magical herbs, so I must give the sword to the hero."

When Long Yuqing heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Where did you get this?"

"Oh, on my birthday last year, Master was so happy that he casually broke off a bamboo branch from his flower garden and gave it to me." Ren Yezhang said, "The bamboo is meant to climb higher and higher, and to be modest and humble. Master gave me this as a kind of encouragement."

"So, this precious green bamboo with branches... is your master's magical item that protects the Tao?!" Long Yuqing asked in surprise.

"It's not a magical object that protects you. It can only be said to be... an ordinary treasure that is always by your side." Ren Ye's words were very casual, as if he was pretending to be something important, but also as if he was mentioning a trivial matter.

"?!"

Long Yuqing was slightly shocked and thought to himself, "This divine object that suppresses the Nine Bends of the Styx is just an ordinary treasure that is always with him?! I think he is bragging...!"

He paused for a moment, bent over and sat on the chair, and said casually: "Although this branch is born from a treasure, it is a pity that its grade is too low. Without the bamboo body and without the nourishment of the root energy, I am afraid it cannot be kept alive. In the future, when the spiritual charm dissipates, it can only be refined into a magic weapon or a pendant... Alas, such a fairy thing, it is really a pity."

I suspected that BYD suspected that I was bragging, so he deliberately tried to test me with words, and maybe even wanted to blackmail me... Ren Ye instantly realized his intention and just grinned and said, "Lord City Lord, if you really like this bamboo branch and want to keep it alive, it's not difficult."

"Oh?!" Long Yuqing blinked his wise eyes and asked excitedly, "What do you mean?"

"In my master's fairy garden, there is a thousand-year-old tree. The tree gave birth to a thousand-year-old green life. Just one drop of it can transform the body of a supernatural being. And the water of the Styx that feeds the Nine-bend Green Cloud Bamboo is also in the garden." Ren Ye said indifferently: "If the city lord likes it, after I leave this place and return to my master's sect, I will ask my master for some Styx water and a drop of green life. Use these two magical items to nourish the green bamboo branches, and it will surely take root and grow vigorously."

It was impossible for the cunning little bad king to take out the Water of the Styx and the Green Emerald of Life on the spot to curry favor with the city lord who did not have a good reputation. Every word he said was purposeful and contained powerful information.

We have hot tempers and in a rage, we killed the disciples of the Xianlan Sect who were like local emperors. You gave face to Chunniang and gave us convenience. So I will definitely respect you in your territory. I gave you the green bamboo branches to thank you for "enforcing the law impartially" and to make a good impression on Chunniang's family and to further improve our relationship.

Otherwise, he couldn't have come in and said, "You are the city lord?" Oh, I am your father - the Human Emperor. I beat people, I destroyed the star core, I can't bend my waist, and I can't speak human language. What do you want?"

This kind of play is not for a person with purple luck, but for a super tiger. In the star gate world full of crises and countless secrets, he may not even survive one episode.

However, if the Lord of Dragon City really wants some Water of the Styx and the Green Emerald of Life, he will have to see what happens next.

As we all know, if you want to get along well with the Little Bad King, there are many projects in the park that can be bundled and sold with the Water of the Styx and the Green Emerald of Life.

Sure enough, when Long Yuqing heard that Ren Ye could still get the Water of the Styx and the Green Emerald of Life, the smile on his face became even brighter, and even the look he gave to the Little Bad King became much kinder.

Chunniang's family all live in Chaolong City, so the probability of the other party exaggerating and bragging is very low. Otherwise, once it is exposed, many things will backfire.

"Brother Zigui, this is the first time we meet and you've given me such a treasure...it's really valuable." Long Yuqing was also a Pixiu, the kind of person who only takes in and doesn't give out. Although he was polite in his words, he had already held on to the thing and wouldn't let it go.

"Lord City Lord, don't be polite." Ren Ye said, "When I go back, I will find a chance to ask Master for the Water of the Styx and the Emerald of Life, and I will give them to you as well."

"Okay!" Long Yuqing smiled and nodded, and extended his hand elegantly, saying, "Quick, Brother Zigui, please take a seat. Oh, you can't sit on the south side..."

"Oh!"

Ren Ye sat on the chair on the north side without knowing why, and said politely: "Lord City Lord calls me brother, which makes me flattered."

"You are not from Chaolong City, and you are not much different in age from me. We have similar interests, so it's okay to call each other brothers." Long Yuqing gently put down the bamboo stick and asked as if chatting: "I heard from Chunniang that you came from a place called Migration Land?! And after her husband died, you came to a place called Gutan City to report the news, but you never expected to conflict with another powerful sect. In the end, you had no choice but to ask the elders of the sect to help suppress the powerful enemy?"

Sure enough, Chunniang also boasted about me a lot when communicating with him, which invisibly elevated my status. This allowed this overly cautious city lord to deal with the Taoist priest of Xianlan Sect?

He thought about it for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, what Chunniang said is true."

"She said that the six white-robed seniors in your sect are all sixth-rank people?" Long Yuqing narrowed his eyes and stared at Ren Ye, as if he wanted to see the change in his expression.

Ren Ye relaxed his posture, smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying: "It is rare to find a person like the Three-Headed Sixth-Rank in the world. How can I be so arrogant as to ask so many seniors in white clothes to help me?! Chun Niang must have thought that I was in a critical situation just now, so her words were a bit exaggerated, but... the sect did have people to help me, but they were just a few elders who followed the master."

He spoke casually, which made Long Yuqing stunned.

If it were an ordinary elder, how could he have defeated the powerful enemy so easily? Chun Niang clearly said that without this person's help, the magical person named Mingquan from Daze Township would have died tragically in Gutan City... Mingquan and others can testify to this, so the probability that he is bragging is still very low.

Haha, this kid is obviously hiding his abilities.

Long Yuqing nodded slightly, and asked curiously, "Brother Zigui, what kind of secret place is this Migration Land? In recent months, people who have returned home have brought back news, and many Chaolong City's supernatural powers have rushed to this place called Migration Land to travel and seek opportunities. I heard that it used to be a vast and boundless immortal land, but now that it has been re-enlightened, there is a sense of grand competition... It is a place of contention that the world's strong cannot miss."

"Where are you from? Could this rumor be true?"

"Really, really." Ren Ye drank a sip of tea and immediately nodded and said, "The migration area has a sign of the coming of a great world. If I were to explain it in detail, I'm afraid it would take ten days and ten nights to finish...!"

"No problem." Long Yuqing seemed to be very interested in the migration area, and replied seriously: "I am the lord of Chaolong City. According to the team training, I can only enter special secret places to travel, and I can't take risks. So, until today... I haven't seen the outside world many times. If you have nothing to do, tell me everything about the migration area in detail...!"

At first, Ren Ye thought it was just a normal chat, but he never expected that the city lords were very talkative and liked to ask questions. He was like a rich boy who grew up in captivity and knew nothing about the outside world. So no matter what he heard, he would ask questions in detail...

This chat lasted nearly three hours.

Ren Ye started his story from the place of migration, and talked about the Base City, Gutan City, Qijia Town, and his experiences in many secret realms. However, he omitted all the important information and only talked about some more special rules of heaven. Long Yuqing felt very involved when listening to him. Sometimes he laughed, and sometimes he asked Ren Ye to shut up and think about what he should do if he faced these many SSS+ difficulty tests.

However, his wise brain was trapped for more than an hour at the level of playing mahjong in Tiangong Building in Fulai County, and he failed to think of a way to break the deadlock. It was as if his personal consciousness was separated by the vast starry sky, and he was eventually brutally killed by the three ghosts.

By the end, Ren couldn't take it anymore, because this person was too nagging, the kind of question that could be asked over and over again.

He resisted the fatigue and numb lips and prepared to leave...

"The secret realm of this migration area is really all-encompassing and eye-opening. I long for it, but it's a pity that my father-in-law won't allow me to go." Long Yuqing shook his head and sighed, then stood up and said in surprise: "Oh, it's midnight! You and I were so happy talking that we forgot to eat. Brother Zigui, after you have a midnight snack with me, stay in the mansion tonight to rest. We'll talk tomorrow..."

I'm talking about Nimama. I'm a little sleepy, brother!

Ren Ye immediately stood up and clasped his fists: "Lord City Lord, Chunniang has many close friends waiting for me to return. You should have your meal alone, and I will return to report that I have lived a safe life."

"Oh, if you don't go back, people at home will think I have detained you." Long Yuqing thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you go back first. I will call a sedan chair to pick you up and bring you to my house tomorrow to talk."

"...!"

Ren was also confused.

"Oh, have you been doing fine in the city these days?" Long Yuqing asked with pretended concern.

"Yeah... yeah, everything is fine." Ren Ye replied with gritted teeth.

"That's good, that's good. Since you have nothing to do, come to my house often and tell me more about what happened in the migration area." Long Yuqing replied hospitably.

"……it is good."

"Butler Bao, call for the carriage and prepare to send brother Zigui back to Daze Township."

"Yes, young master, I will prepare it right away." Butler Bao shouted from outside.

Long Yuqing stepped forward with his hands behind his back, looked at Ren Ye and said, "We need to prepare the carriage, otherwise...!"

"Ong!"

As he was speaking, a buzzing sound that resounded through the heavens and earth suddenly echoed outside. It seemed to come from thousands of miles away, but also seemed to be right in front of him.

"brush!"

The buzzing sound that shook the world instantly woke up Ren Ye, who was standing in the inner hall, from all sleepiness. He stood there like a wooden chicken, his heart agitated.

At this moment, he felt that the blood in his body was boiling, his scalp was numb, and the star cores in his abdomen were surging like a wave.
