Chapter 1601
Chen Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at the cheerful man and said, "I already knew about this."
Seeing Chen Xuan's displeasure, they actually showed their delight on their faces, and the crowd added another label to Chen Xuan's name: a fat sheep, someone who shows his delight on his face and is good at manipulating others.
"Hahaha... Brother, please don't be angry. Although Nalan Qingtian successfully escaped from the Nine Dragons Star Region, we know exactly where he is."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan asked with slight wariness, "Didn't the Lord of Nine Dragons Stars say that anyone who brings back Nalan Qingtian's body, whether dead or alive, will receive a reward? Why is that?"
"Haha, my brother is indeed exceptionally intelligent. However, after Nalan Qingtian teleported to another Tian Shu star, he immediately left the city and crushed more than ten escape talismans in succession."
The honest-looking middle-aged man looked at Chen Xuan with a sincere expression and said, "With such a bounty, Nalan Qingtian will definitely flee to a dangerous place. After all, he is a Celestial Immortal. The purpose of our gathering is to recruit powerful teammates and form a super battle formation to besiege this villain."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Brother, do you know which star system Nalan Qingtian has fled to?"
Upon hearing this, the honest-looking man was taken aback and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is information for getting rich; how can it be leaked so easily?"
"Yes, if such confidential information is disclosed casually, other powerful teams will seize the initiative."
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment and then said, "That's true, but brother, you can name your price. I'm willing to buy this intelligence information, how about that?"
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, not only did the surrounding anti-void teams shake their heads, but even the Soul-Hooking Fairy who served the wine chuckled silently, clearly having witnessed similar scenes far too often.
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's offer to buy the intelligence, the honest-looking man immediately hesitated. Finally, seemingly making a painful decision, he slammed his hand on the table and said, "It's fate that we've met, and today the brothers have even shared a cup of immortal wine, so..."
Upon hearing the honest-looking man's actions, all his teammates at the Nascent Soul Realm changed their expressions and looked at him, seemingly surprised that their leader had made this decision.
"Hmph, we have a connection with Brother Beiming, so if we sell this information to him at a high price, we'll be suspected of overcharging. Perhaps..."
The seemingly honest man was clearly a seasoned veteran; if this acting skill were possessed by a novice cultivator, he would likely be easily manipulated.
"In that case, shall we invite Brother Beiming to join the team and participate in the pursuit of Su Lanqingtian?"
"Sigh, since you've made your decision, what can the brothers say?"
"Haha, Brother Beiming, you've really gotten a good deal! Why don't you hurry up and pour some wine for us elder brothers?"
Chen Xuan smiled innocently and immediately did as he was told, pouring wine for the group. The scene seemed very exciting, but judging from the strange expressions on the faces of the surrounding cultivators, something felt off.
Chen Xuan only drank one cup of the pot of the Great Dream Illusion, which was worth millions of kilograms of Origin Liquid; the rest was divided among several kind-hearted elder brothers.
After the drinking session, the honest-looking man with the Daoist name Zhengxin, who was in charge, immediately stood up and shouted, "This time, we have gathered eighteen brothers in the Void Reversal Realm and nine in the Primordial Spirit Realm. Although Nalan Qingtian is at the Celestial Immortal level, he has not cultivated a single wisp of immortal energy, so his strength is very average."
Chen Xuan also stood up to listen.
"The sooner we capture Nalan Qingtian, the better. The sooner we act, the greater our chances of success. Everyone, there's no time like the present. Let's set off immediately, take the teleportation array, and besiege Nalan Qingtian. All the rewards we receive will be divided equally!"
"Brother is wise!"
"We will follow your orders, Brother, and we will give our full support!"
Immortal Zhengxin responded immediately to the call, and then looked at Chen Xuandao, saying, "Brother, you may speak if you have any opinions."
With the atmosphere already set, what could Chen Xuan, a newcomer, say? He simply smiled, nodded, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "Of course, I will follow your instructions, elder brother."
Then, amidst the envy of the wandering immortals, Immortal Zhengxin led his twenty-odd followers, including Chen Xuan, directly out of the Immortal Wine Shop.
When Chen Xuan and the others had completely left, the leaders of the various teams secretly cursed their regret, wondering why they had been a step too late to catch this idiot fat sheep.
Of course, the cultivators in the tavern only cursed under their breath. Everyone understood that such good things depended on fate and couldn't be forced.
"Brother, why do you think Nalan Qingtian is being hunted down so aggressively by the regional overlord, Kowloon City?" the black-clad youth in the second-floor private room asked his elder brother.
The young man holding the feather fan shook his head slightly upon hearing this. "All intelligence points to the Xuanxiao Great World, a star under the jurisdiction of the Nine Dragons Star. However, the cultivators under the Nine Dragons Star are keeping a tight rein on this matter and have not revealed any information about the reason for the arrest of Nalan Qingtian."
"Could it be because something terrible has happened on Xuanxiao Star? Why don't we go to the Xuanxiao Great World to investigate?"
Upon hearing this, the young man with the feather fan shook his head and said, "No, Xuanxiao Star is one of the few resource-rich stars under the jurisdiction of Kowloon City. Moreover, the Lord of Xuanxiao Star is very powerful and has several Celestial Immortals under his command. I heard that the imperial power of Xuanxiao Star is very stable. Such a stable and united star is not easy to invade."
"That's true. It's a pity that Xuanxiao Star isn't a chaotic planet, otherwise we could have taken the opportunity to infiltrate and plunder its resources."
"Hmph, no rush, let's wait and see. We'd better stay safe here, after all, we're here to avoid trouble."
"Well, I know the severity."
Once you reach the level of emptiness, night and day lose all meaning, and you can enjoy drinking, discussing philosophy, having fun, and indulging in pleasure for a long time at a time.
However, less than a month has passed.
Once again, Chen Xuan, in the manner of a devout believer, strolled into the Immortal Wine Shop. He took his usual spot by the window and, without a second thought, ordered a pot of "Great Dream Illusion," a liquor worth a million catties of Origin Liquid.
High-level hunters often appear as the prey.
Apart from the anti-void team that had gathered here again last time, their expressions changed immediately when they saw Chen Xuan return safely, but the eighteen anti-void team members from Zhengxin were nowhere to be seen.
Although Chen Xuan calmly surveyed everyone with a natural gaze, the threatening intent in his eyes was all too obvious.
After Chen Xuan joined the mission to capture the Righteous Immortal, the group of nearly thirty people first went to Tian Shu City in the Linmu Star Region.
The group then formed a large formation and marched out of Tian Shu Star. Over the course of several days, Chen Xuan was taken to a remote and desolate area where no stars were visible and no people were around.
At that time, Chen Xuan was still innocent and confused, asking Brother Zhengxin where Nalan Qingtian was.
Unexpectedly, these people stopped pretending and directly used the great formation to attack Chen Xuan. They all looked at Chen Xuan with excited eyes—this kind of simple fat sheep is a once-in-a-century opportunity.
Of course, when he saw the eighteen Void Realm cultivators charging towards him, a captivating smile appeared on Chen Xuan's lips.
With a single sword strike, twelve of the eighteen Void-Reversing Immortals were instantly reduced to blood mist.
Such a horrifying scene caught even the remaining Void Realm cultivators and several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had charged forward completely off guard.
Once they realized what was happening, they were terrified and recklessly threw talismans, escape techniques, and all sorts of one-time-use magic items at Chen Xuan.
Unfortunately, in terms of strength, they were far inferior to Chen Xuan.
