Chapter 1996 It’s over?
Qu Jianlei chose to ignore the bait handed over by Immortal Yongheng.
He has seen and heard too many things that were done under the guise of punishing the criminals but in reality were for personal profit.
In fact, it is a very useful trick. In the early stage, it can gain considerable support both in terms of public opinion and actual actions.
Once you achieve your personal goal and reveal your true colors...it doesn't matter.
But Qu Jianlei was not really interested in this. "I don't care if it's right or wrong, just don't provoke me."
"And if I really want to mess with someone, I won't consider the cost or reputation... Anyone who messes with me deserves to die."
This is really extraordinary arrogance, and even the Immortal Yongheng was a little speechless.
He could only remind again, "Even if a new fourth-level spirit vein is discovered, the procedures for taking it down will be more complicated."
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Then... let's wait and see. At worst, we can run between Zhongzhou and Dongsheng."
"You are really... willful," Immortal Yongheng sighed, "It's good to be young."
The wilfulness in his words really did not have any derogatory meaning. He simply envied the feeling of revenge.
However, in order to prevent the other party from getting suspicious, he changed the subject, "Daoyou, do you have any reason to collect six years' interest in advance?"
Qu Jianlei blinked and laughed, "What do you think the explanation should be, Brother Yongheng?"
"I don't know, that's why I'm asking," Yongheng raised his hand, wiped his long white eyebrows, squatted for a while and asked.
"It's about six years...will there be changes in the demon invasion?"
Qu Jianlei's expression changed slightly when he heard this. "What did you ask Duan Bowen when you took him away?"
The Immortal Sanshi stopped Duan Bowen and took him away. They were less than 200 kilometers away from the manor. How could he have hidden it from him?
However, since he was in Zhongzhou, he did not dare to abuse his spiritual sense. He just relied on his skillful control to quietly wander around.
Unexpectedly, he actually observed that scene.
But he didn't say anything at the time, he just took note of it silently. But at this moment, he really couldn't help it.
However, this six-year deadline actually has nothing to do with him. He originally estimated that the demons would launch a full-scale invasion within three or four years.
If calculated from now, it has been almost three years. The six years he mentioned are actually the three years after the full-scale invasion of the demons.
We can basically make a judgment on what the scene will be like by then.
If the Cangwu Realm had too much trouble resisting, Qu Jianlei would not be able to collect the remaining debt.
But even Duan Bowen didn't know what he was thinking. How did the other party know that?
"I know a little bit about divination," Yong Heng said calmly, "Hongye Ridge is the one that broke the deadlock in this demon invasion."
Qu Jianlei originally raised his brows and became interested - he had never had in-depth communication with someone who was proficient in divination.
He highly suspected that Zhu Jiayi was proficient in divination. That guy knew everything and was known as the core think tank of the Zhu family.
But if others don’t mention it, he won’t ask - the most important thing about friendship is to be open-minded, so why force it?
However, after hearing the end, his original interest disappeared instantly and he found it ridiculous - I am the one who broke the game?
He had seen this kind of low-level rhetoric too many times and was completely indifferent.
He almost laughed out loud, "Then please calculate what our relationship is with Immortal Bowen?"
"How can he compare with you?" Immortal Yongheng shook his head and answered seriously, "We are not on the same path at all."
This is... a bit interesting. Qu Jianlei took it a little more seriously. "Can you calculate when the demons will invade?"
"How dare I calculate this?" Immortal Yongheng shook his head and answered seriously.
"There are so many Yuanying in Zhongzhou, and the cause and effect involved are so great... I still want to keep a useful body to resist the demons."
It was the first time that Qu Jianlei heard that divination was related to the number of Nascent Souls, but it was not difficult to understand.
"Then I would like to ask, how many Nascent Souls can your divination technique involve at most?"
"Hmm?" Immortal Yongheng looked at him in surprise, thought for a moment and slowly shook his head, "How can there be a set rule for this?"
"I can't try it easily. Anyway, it won't be more than a hundred... Daoist friend, can you calculate it accurately to this extent?"
The number of Yuanying in Zhongzhou must be over a hundred! Qu Jianlei sighed, "Only Dongsheng is enough for me to account for."
"Really?" Yong Heng also became interested. "Then when will Dongsheng encounter a full-scale invasion by the demons?"
Qu Jianlei had never told anyone the answer. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "If nothing unexpected happens..."
The next moment, he slowly stretched out three fingers.
This topic was really a bit shocking. Sanshi Zhenxian, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but ask, "Three years, or thirty years?"
For a Nascent Soul True Immortal, thirty years is considered to be a short period of time, after all, the Nascent Soul’s lifespan is two thousand years.
But if we want to complete all the war preparations in three years... it would be too hasty.
"Three years," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, and emphasized, "If nothing unexpected happens... you know how to do divination."
This was the first time he announced his divination results to the immortal cultivators, so he had to ensure they were as rigorous as possible.
Yongheng and Sanshi Zhenxian were both silent. No one could have predicted that the disaster would come so soon.
But to say that Lord Qu Ling is exaggerating? There is really no need to do that... What is he trying to achieve?
As for the uncertainty of divination, both of them were aware of it and there was no need to elaborate.
After a long while, Immortal Yongheng asked in a deep voice, "Forecasting the future of the entire Dongsheng, Brother Qu Daoist's power of divination... I admire you!"
He is well versed in divination and understands the pressure that the other party may be facing.
"I encountered some backlash," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "I am also looking for an opportunity, so please keep it a secret."
He didn't say what the opportunity was, but both of them knew in their hearts that it was a chance to change Dongsheng's fate.
This will be difficult and the risks are quite high, but the rare thing is that the other party actually intends to stick with it.
Immortal Sanshi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "I rarely admire others, but Master Qu Ling... I admire you!"
Immortal Yongheng also said, "Since Lord Qu Ling can tell us such a secret message, we will definitely keep it secret."
Once the news gets out, it will cause social chaos, but this is not the point of their keeping it secret.
More importantly, this is the divination result obtained after someone suffered a huge backlash.
In the world of cultivating immortals, this level of privacy is extremely high. As long as the fortune teller doesn't want to, no one has the power to force them to speak out.
After a pause, he asked carefully, "Will Zhongzhou encounter a disaster a little later?"
Qu Jianlei thought it was possible, but he still spread his hands and said, "Sorry, there's no way to be sure. Why don't you try?"
"I don't want to die yet," Yongheng shook his head regretfully.
Then he sighed with deep emotion, "To be honest, knowing a lot of things in advance... this feeling is really not good."
This is what people who truly understand divination would feel. Qu Jianlei nodded in agreement and then asked.
"Is there no expert in divination in the Star Palace?"
"We can't reach such high-ranking people," Immortal Yongheng replied calmly.
The leader of the Five Friends Alliance actually said such a thing, which shows that there is indeed a big difference in status.
Afterwards, the two of them started talking about the art of divination. Although it couldn't be considered a discussion of philosophy, they were able to inspire each other a lot.
After leaving, Immortal Yongheng was deeply touched, "No wonder the variable in dealing with the demons should be in Dongsheng, it really could be them..."
Sanshi Zhenxian carefully suggested, "Brother, he mentioned the Star Palace. Was it intentional or unintentional?"
"This..." Immortal Yongheng hesitated for a moment and said, "A person like him shouldn't talk nonsense. Could it be because of Haihe?"
Haihe Zhenxian was sent to Dongsheng by the Star Palace and is currently responsible for coordinating affairs between the two states.
News like the one about Hongyeling was mainly brought back by him.
Other smugglers could also send back some information, but the level of authority was much lower.
"Haihe..." Immortal Sanshi thought for a moment and said, "Then go find Duan Bowen and ask him?"
"Don't provoke him again. After all, he has a good relationship with Hongyeling." Immortal Yongheng shook his head, "I'll tell you my fortune later."
"But big brother..." Sanshi Zhenxian hesitated to speak. He was very clear about the harm that divination would cause to big brother's body.
"It's not a big deal," Immortal Yongheng said calmly, "Someone dares to predict the entire Dongsheng, I can't be that bad, right?"
Ten days later, he cast a divination and unexpectedly discovered that Duan Bowen was indeed involved in the feud between Hongye Ridge and Xingchen Palace.
"This guy has gotten involved in this kind of thing... What's his plan?"
At the same time, another flying boat arrived at the manor outside Liuguang City.
Seven or eight people got off the flying boat, led by two Jindans, a man and a woman.
Behind the two men was a Taoist with a long beard and a tall hat. He had a gaunt face and looked a bit like a Taoist master.
"Master, this is it," the male Jindan pointed at the gate of the manor, "it used to be the land of the Five Friends Alliance, but now it has been changed."
These two Jindan were the ones who were bidding for the land with the two subordinates of Sanshi Zhenxian.
The Taoist with a long beard nodded slightly, "When you go to hand in a visiting card, you should be polite before using force."
He does things in an organized manner, but the four words "be polite before using force" have already made his attitude clear.
However, it is impossible not to be noticed if you say this at the gate of the manor.
Even if it is not convenient for those street urchins at the Yuanying level to explore too far, they can still explore at the doorstep of the house.
Dorgan noticed this scene and used his spiritual sense to tell Claire that these visitors had ill intentions.
Kolos went to greet the guests and recognized the two Jindan at a glance - they had been harassed by them when they rented a house before.
Unfortunately, he was only at the foundation-building stage and could not stop the golden elixir from visiting him, so he could only pass the information back.
Claire was mentally prepared. When she walked to the door and saw the Jindan couple, her brows slightly frowned.
Then she said impatiently, "Are you guys not done yet?"
The two Jindan looked at each other, then dodged to the sides, revealing the Taoist with a long beard behind them.
