Just in Case

"Little brother, wait a minute!"

The old monk caught up with Gu Heng and stopped him. Gu Heng could only stop and patiently asked, "What's wrong, old sir?"

"Little brother, you have such talent, and you know nothing about cultivation, why don't you just join the East Frontier Alliance to practice?"

"I promise that as long as you join, you will be able to get any resources you want!"

"What's a mere Nascent Soul? You have the potential to become a saint!"

The old monk had a shameless face, and had already made up his mind that he had to dig out this rough gem buried among the mortals in the market, and he couldn't let it continue to be covered in dust!

Dongjiang is in need of manpower right now. If he can introduce such a talented person to the higher-ups, he will be the well-deserved first credit.

and.

The old monk felt that perhaps even the Nascent Soul stage might not be his current limit!

Because the upper limit of the sensory stone in his hand is just the Nascent Soul. This is the limit of the sensory stone, not the limit of this little brother.

If he was taller, the old monk wouldn't be able to tell.

So we can't let him run away no matter what.

Gu Heng laughed after hearing this, "Old sir, you misunderstood."

"I don't want to join the East Frontier Alliance, and I've never had this intention."

His original plan was to find this old man to find out what his current strength was, nothing more.

Furthermore.

Why should I join any alliance?

He was used to being free and easy, so even if he really became a casual cultivator, it was better than being controlled by others. Besides, the East Frontier Alliance seemed to be well-known and well-established, but this temporary force that was gathered together temporarily looked like a makeshift team.

If he really joins in, I'm afraid trivial matters will annoy him to death.

"Little brother, what do you mean by that?"

"You came to me just to find out if you have the talent to practice, right? Now that you know, you can't just waste it, right?"

Seeing that Gu Heng was unwilling to join the East Frontier Alliance, the old monk became anxious. If he didn't join, wouldn't his own contributions be in vain, and the wealth and glory of the rest of his life would be in vain?

No way!

But it is impossible to take him away by force.

The old monk didn't dare to say whether he could beat him. After all, the conclusion given by the Sensing Stone was that this little brother was at least comparable to a Golden Infant monk. What was the most?

Anyway, it is definitely impossible to take action.

If he really can't persuade her, he really has no other choice.

"Old man, you don't have to worry about whether I will be abandoned, but I understand your thoughts. It's just that I don't plan to join any forces now. Let's talk about it later."

Although this old man was a bit annoying, he was so enthusiastic and didn't seem to have any bad intentions. Gu Heng knew very well that one should not hit someone who smiled at him, so he couldn't put on a bad face.

But joined the East Frontier Alliance.

It was indeed a possibility that he rejected without giving it much thought.

After finishing his work here, he decided to stay in the deserted city. He had just traveled a long way to get here, so there was no reason for him to continue to travel.

"Well, in that case, little brother, just take this first."

The old monk knew that he might not be able to persuade him, so he gave up. However, he still took out a jade token and handed it to Gu Heng. "Little brother, if you change your mind one day, the East Frontier Alliance will welcome you at any time."

Gu Heng looked at him suspiciously.

"This token proves that you are a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although you haven't reached that level yet, you're almost there. This thing can also save you some trouble."Hearing this, Gu Heng's eyes lit up.

This thing is great.

Indeed, by hanging this token, there would be fewer fools who would come to cause trouble later, although he didn't mind beating up some people who dared to cause trouble.

There was also an unexpected gain, which was really great!

"Then thank you, senior!"

Gu Heng Gu Heng readily put the token in his arms, turned around and trotted away.

Okay, time to head up the mountain.

The purpose of his visit this time has changed from going up the mountain to hunt monsters to going up the mountain to see what secret operations those red-robed people are doing. Fortunately, he now has a certain understanding of his own strength, so he is not really afraid.

Yuanying stage practitioners... still not enough.

Gu Heng's small goal is not that small.

"You're welcome, little brother."

The old monk waved his hands and looked at his back as he left. The more he thought about it, the more he wailed in his heart.

Such a rare genius really slipped away from him.

"Who among these aspiring and decent people doesn't want to join the East Frontier Alliance? Why did I have to meet such an outlier? Sigh..."

He couldn't help muttering that his work here was done and he had to quickly find a nice city to live in as he had to go somewhere else the next day.

After one stick of incense.

The old monk packed up the platform and flags and planned to leave along the avenue, but he had not taken a few steps when the sudden chilly atmosphere around him made him frown and a warning sign arose in his heart.

"What's going on?"

With such an aura, why does it feel like someone is staring at me?

"who?!"

The old monk was just trying to gather his strength, but suddenly a pale hand reached out from behind him and pinched his neck. Then, the old monk was struck by lightning and was instantly sucked dry, with all his blood and flesh dried up!

Behind him.

A person watched him fall silently, with a few eerie rays visible from under the blood-red cloak.

The man in red robe looked at the small jade token on the old monk's waist, narrowed his eyes, and then sent out a wisp of energy to break the token!

"The monks from the East Frontier Alliance have all found their way here."

"It looks like we need to step up our actions."

The red-robed man was quite thankful that he had nothing to do, so he went down the mountain to check if there were any emergencies. In fact, there was no need to do so. This Ancient Flower Mountain Range was very poor in resources and extremely far from the front line. Logically, no alliance monks would deliberately come here...

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

So he came to inspect anyway.

As a result, this inspection really made him realize this "what if" factor.

The monks from the East Frontier Alliance actually came here!

Even though he was just a small waste in the Nascent Soul stage and posed no threat, this was what the man in red robe was worried about - if one came, then a second would surely come, and if a weak one came first, a stronger one would surely come later!

As long as this precedent is set, it will only be a matter of time before their "actions" here are exposed.

Fortunately, they are almost done.

The man in red robe looked around vigilantly, and when he saw no trace of other practitioners, he turned into a puff of blood smoke and rushed towards the mountain.

Go back and report.
