Chapter 2000: Hitchhiking also requires strength
Immortal Yongheng said it lightly, but he still explained Wuyou's origins in the end.
Wu You is a member of half of the sect system, and belongs to the master-disciple inheritance, so there is a saying that they are fellow disciples.
The Jinxia Sect he belongs to was founded by the Immortal Jinxia, and has never been without the birth of the Nascent Soul in its history.
The Jinxia Sect had always wanted to be promoted to the top sect, but missed the opportunity every time due to some strange reasons.
This sect has been entrenched in Pangxing City for a long time and has various complex interest relationships with the local area.
Pangxing City, like Daye City, is also a first-tier city. It is more lively than Daye City, but its level of wealth is average.
As an aside, although Daye City is located in a remote area, this place is not really poor.
There are resources close to the ocean, there is informal foreign trade, and even the number and scale of spiritual veins are quite considerable.
Although Jinxia is just a sect, the sect system here is different from that of Dongsheng. Independent sects can have Nascent Souls.
Since it is a sect, it can accept disciples, and Jinxia has never lacked Nascent Souls, so naturally there will be people willing to join it.
In fact, Wu You and his two Nascent Soul brothers are not pure independent cultivators, they all have family backgrounds.
The family and sect systems in Zhongzhou are actually clearly divided, but this situation is still normal.
Any family that is large enough will have the idea of "not putting all eggs in one basket" to ensure family inheritance.
The three True Immortals of the Jinxia Sect, if they want to mobilize the family's power to do things, they must also consider the relevant taboos.
But Jinxia has been working in Pangxing City for too long, and if she wants to find someone to help her, she has many workarounds.
The Taoist partner of Immortal Wuyou is the great-uncle of the deputy city lord of Pangxing City.
Otherwise, Immortal Yongheng would feel overwhelmed, as he really didn't want to provoke such a force.
After all, the original purpose of establishing the Five Friends Alliance was to unite and prevent being bullied by small and medium-sized forces.
Up to now, Wuyoumeng has grown stronger and stronger, and has been able to expand more businesses, becoming closer to a business organization.
Since it has become a business alliance, we must consider interests when doing things.
The Five Friends Alliance is indeed not afraid of the Jinxia Sect. Not to mention in Daye City, even if they go to Pangxing City, they dare to challenge the other side.
But the key point is that once they meet the other party, Pang Xingcheng’s business in the future...I’m afraid there will be some problems.
Immortal Yongheng could believe that if Jinxia came to Daye City, she would definitely not be able to defeat the Five Friends Alliance, but the opposite was also true.
So he couldn't help but hesitate. If he helped Hongyeling, the losses incurred by Pangxingcheng... would it be worth it?
Who would have thought that Lord Qu Ling almost said it directly: It doesn’t matter if you don’t help, at worst I will go directly to Daye City.
Immortal Yongheng was completely helpless. What other choice did he have? He could only help.
Sanshi's out-of-body skills have been given to him, and everything has been agreed upon. All that's left is the implementation. How can he retreat now?
He didn't know the term "sunk cost", but he was very clear about one thing: once the Five Friendly Alliance withdrew, there would be plenty of people looking for them.
After hearing his statement, Qu Jianlei nodded and said, "That's what I said. Since we are cooperating, we must work together."
What contribution did you make? Immortal Yongheng almost asked this question.
But the next moment, he reacted: Oh, you captured that guy Wu You.
Thinking that there were only three True Immortal opponents, and now there are only two, the pressure is a little less. "Okay, we will do our best to help coordinate."
"Don't try your best," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "You have to handle it well!"
Upon hearing this, Immortal Yongheng became a little unhappy again, "You must..." We are just partners, are you ordering me around?
However, he then heard the other party speak word for word, "Our partners don't need those useless things!"
To be honest, with Qu Jianlei's personality, he would never think of such a reason.
However, in his previous life, he fought hard in the financial field and achieved great success, and many large funds approached him.
Funds of sufficient scale will actively introduce themselves and offer what kind of assistance they can provide if their own funds can be accepted.
The most common thing these people say is - "Funds that can't bring you important help are just free food!"
Who in the capital circle is short of money? The premise for selecting partners is: if you want to make money by free riding, you must have the ability to help escort!
Qu Jianlei felt that this statement was a bit cruel, but he agreed with the logic, so he just used it directly.
Immortal Yongheng was stunned when he heard this. He had lived for more than a thousand years and had seen too many strange things, big and small.
But... I've rarely heard such blunt and vulgar words.
But he was just slightly stunned, then he smiled and nodded, "Yes, a partner should fulfill his obligations as a partner."
"Wouldn't it have been better if you had said this earlier?" Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. "It's actually a good thing. It gives you a chance to demonstrate your abilities."
"Hey," Yong Heng laughed, "So you caused such a big thing, and I should thank you?"
"Think whatever you want," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes. "If we were in Dongsheng, we would have solved the problem ourselves."
"Okay, stop bragging, this is Zhongzhou," Yongheng waved his hand, "I'm going with you now, okay?"
He agreed readily, but still delayed for a long time, mainly because he had a lot of things to arrange.
In his words, this time he wanted to shock Immortal Wuyou, so he must make certain preparations.
Moreover, when he leaves Daye City, some countermeasures must be arranged here.
However, this time he brought some people with him, including three Jindan, twelve foundation-building cultivators, and thirty-six Qi-refining cultivators.
Qu Jianlei didn’t know what this configuration was, but he wasn’t in a hurry to ask, he just followed silently.
The next day at noon, Immortal Wuyou was sitting there in a daze when he noticed something flashing in the corner of his eye, so he turned his head to look.
Then he saw a familiar face, and his face suddenly darkened, "What are you doing here?"
He subconsciously thought that the other party was there to watch the fun, and it would be strange if he had a good attitude.
"That's a strange question," Immortal Yongheng answered with a smile, but he was quite angry in his heart: How dare you talk to me like that?
Whether in terms of age, power, or home field, he is one step ahead of his opponent.
However, he did not show it, and only asked, "Fellow Daoist Wuyou... do you know who is the owner of the land you broke into?"
"He is not one of yours," Immortal Wuyou answered very straightforwardly, "He used to be Daoist Sanshi's man, but the owner has changed."
"So that's how it is," Immortal Yongheng nodded with a wry smile, "So you know that it was Sanshi who sold the land?"
"I know," Immortal Wuyou admitted it directly, "but it's not your land now, right?"
"Yeah, that makes sense," Immortal Yongheng nodded, then narrowed his eyes slightly, "You can offend the friends of the Five Friends Alliance?"
"That's just your friend," Wuyou Zhenxian answered without hesitation, "I didn't offend the Five Friends Alliance!"
He thought his logic was correct - friends of friends are not my friends!
"That's right," Immortal Yongheng nodded first, then his face straightened, "But you are in Daye City now!"
"This is the foundation of my Five Friends Alliance. You come here to act wildly among Sanshi's friends... and you say you didn't offend me?"
Then he chuckled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Haha, you should be thankful that Sanshi is not here now!"
How many people don't know how petty Immortal Sanshi is?
Even a brave person like Immortal Wuyou felt a little overwhelmed after hearing this, "Actually... I'm not targeting Fellow Daoist Sanshi!"
"It has already happened!" Immortal Yongheng said calmly, "There is a famous saying in Dongsheng recently... Explanation is concealment."
"Okay," Immortal Wuyou saw that the leaders of the Five Friends Alliance had come forward, and he knew that he would not get any advantage.
If it was the Immortal Sanshi who came forward, he would still have some hope, even though that person was a little narrow-minded.
However, the appearance of Immortal Yongheng basically represents the collective will of the Five Friends Alliance.
Immortal Wuyou can ignore these people in the manor, or he can think that the Five Friends Alliance is just that.
But these two groups have joined hands and are on the territory of Daye City. The two Jinxia factions... I'm afraid they can't win.
"I know I am being presumptuous," Immortal Wuyou decided to accept the reality, "Senior Yongheng, tell me, what should I do?"
"How would I know that?" Immortal Yongheng replied indifferently.
After a moment's silence, he asked again, "How on earth were you arrested?"
You are going too far, old man! Upon hearing this, Immortal Wuyou was really furious, but at this moment, he had no power to vent his anger.
So he recounted what had happened.
Then he unexpectedly discovered that Yongheng was listening very seriously, so he rolled his eyes and said, "That Lei Xiu... is a bit interesting."
He really didn't expect that there was a fourth Nascent Soul hidden in this manor, so this battle... was too unfair to lose.
"It's not Lei Xiu," Yong Heng answered very straightforwardly - who doesn't know that there is Lei Xiu in Hongye Ridge?
However, Lord Qu Ling also explained to him that it was not Lei Xiu's method, but the power of the formation.
It's amazing, it's just that he knows a little more about thunder magic and mixed in a little bit of tricks.
Immortal Yongheng believed this, because Duan Bowen said that when he was questioning Hongyeling, he lost because of the formation.
So he said directly, "That's the fluctuation of the formation, didn't you feel it?"
"Is it... a formation?" Immortal Wuyou was stunned. After a long while, he nodded and said, "No wonder."
He accepted this explanation because he really didn't know much about the formation.
However, this still bothered him, "Three against one, and with the addition of a formation... this is too much!"
Yongheng looked at him with a strange expression, "You came here to cause trouble, and they didn't beat you to death. Isn't that considered kind?"
When Immortal Wuyou heard this, he felt really embarrassed, but since it had already come to this, there was no point in denying it.
So he nodded, "Yes, very kind, Senior Yongheng, what are these people up to?"
"I can defeat you in this way," Immortal Yongheng would not accept such a sugar-coated bullet, "Let's discuss compensation now."
