Late at night, midnight.

East of the city.

"Zhao Cangqiong, are you sick? You stayed up late at night and brought me here to wait for the Shengtian Sect?"

A voice came from the shadow of a mountain.

The person who spoke was Lu Hongyun, who looked unhappy.

Half an hour ago, he had just slept soundly when he was woken up by Zhao Cangqiong and dragged here.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Zhao Cangqiong sat next to him and looked around.

"Don't scare them away."

"No, how do you know that the Shengtian Sect will come here at night?"

Lu Hongyun was not angry.

"The target is too large during the day. Even if there is no one here, it is easy to be discovered. The safest time is in the middle of the night."

Zhao Cangqiong said seriously.

"It's not completely certain yet. This is the teleportation array. If someone from the Shengtian Sect is found, it will be enough to confirm it."

"You brought me here not to kill people from the Shengtian Sect, but to make sure this is a teleportation array?"

Lu Hongyun frowned.

"Of course, how can you and I kill them? The Great Venerable Snake is definitely not weaker than you and me."

Zhao Cangqiong nodded.

"So, we just need to hide in the dark and determine the location... Of course, it would be better if we could keep an eye on them and find out where they stay."

"..."

Lu Hongyun was speechless.

"Then can you just do this by yourself? Why do you have to drag me along?"

"Wouldn't it be safer to bring you with us? If we are exposed, we will inevitably have a fierce battle."

Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.

"Now that I am the city lord, can't I act more safely?"

"OK……"

Lu Hongyun was convinced.

"Lao Lu, you and I are no longer young men in their twenties and thirties. We should not act recklessly."

Zhao Cangqiong taught.

"Okay, okay...what if they don't come? Can we just stay here all night?"

Lu Hongyun waved his hand.

"It's just a matter of luck. How can we say that just because you and I are here, they have to come?"

Zhao Cangqiong smiled.

"With our strength, we no longer need to sleep. There is no difference between here and in bed."

"..."

Lu Hongyun was helpless and could only lean on the big rock and look around boredly.

"We haven't seen each other for many years, and you and I have reached this age in a blink of an eye. I remember when you were born and took the invincible path, you were the same age as invincible, and you were high-spirited..."

Listening to Zhao Cangqiong's words, memories flashed through Lu Hongyun's eyes, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Come, drink some wine, you and I can chat while we drink... Even if the Holy Heaven Sect doesn't come, we can just treat you and I as old friends chatting under the moonlight."

Zhao Cangqiong said, taking out wine and a few side dishes from the storage ring.

"Have you even prepared wine and food?"

Lu Hongyun was surprised and sat up straight.

"yes."

Zhao Cangqiong smiled and poured wine for Lu Hongyun.

"I have a premonition that things will become more and more chaotic next time... It will be difficult to have such leisurely elegance again! Aren't you leaving soon? That's why I want to talk to you."

"Kill two birds with one stone? Not only can you stare at the Shengtian Sect, but you can also drink and chat?"

Lu Hongyun looked strange.

"You are still you, with eight hundred tricks."

"How are you talking? Isn't this just incidental?"

Zhao Cangqiong said, picking up the cup.

"Come on, let's have a drink first... I remember that we drank like this back then."

"Yeah, it's been so many years."

Lu Hongyun was also a little emotional, clinked the glasses with Zhao Cangqiong, raised his head and drank it.

The two put down their glasses, took a few bites of the food and drinks, and chatted.

Although it was just chatting, his spiritual consciousness still spread out, covering the surrounding area, paying attention to the people of the Shengtian Sect.

They can also react if someone comes.

"Do you think Wu Qingming is a member of the Shengtian Sect?"

After the conversation was over, Zhao Cangqiong brought the topic to his attention.

"It's hard to say, maybe Gongsun Zhen is responsible for everything."

Lu Hongyun shook his head.

"Didn't they already finish talking when you left?"

"Yeah, I'm worried about this too."

Zhao Cangqiong nodded.

"Fortunately, Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang are now locked up. Let's see if we can find out anything in the next few days."

"These are the things you have to worry about, they have nothing to do with me... I only plan to leave for a day or two."

Lu Hongyun threw a peanut into his mouth.

"Huh? Are you leaving in such a hurry? We are still short of manpower here."

Zhao Cangqiong was surprised.

"What do you think I am? Do you think I'm your subordinate?"

Lu Hongyun was not angry.

"I still have to lead Wudi on the Wudi road. How can I stay in Sifang City forever... The Shengtian Sect has shown up here, and even their purpose is known, so the next step is to be on guard."

"For the Shengtian Sect, it's okay for the time being. The key is the second floor...the next conflict will definitely get bigger and bigger."

Zhao Cangqiong said in a deep voice.

"When the great elder of Qingyun Tower comes back, there will definitely be even greater chaos."

"I am no match for the Great Elder of Qingyun Tower, so there is no use in staying."

Lu Hongyun shook his head.

"What kind of disputes there are on the second floor has nothing to do with you... Although you are the city lord now, you don't have to be involved in everything. Sometimes you can stay out of it, so just stay out of it."

"Well, when you become a city lord, you have to take on some responsibilities."

Zhao Cangqiong sighed.

"It's better for you, you don't have any responsibilities."

"You already knew? Who hasn't taken responsibility yet?"

"Too."

The two of them were talking, the moonlight was low, but no one from the Shengtian Sect came.

…

Daybreak.

Xiao Chen woke up, took away the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root that was shrinking in his arms, and looked at the head of the Great Venerable Snake.

"There's no use keeping this head. Let's send it to Zhao Cangqiong when we find an opportunity."

Xiao Chen thought for a while and made a decision.

No matter what, Zhao Cangqiong treated him well and was always worried about what would happen to the Shengtian Sect.

If he sends the head of Lord Lie Snake to Zhao Cangqiong, it will at least make him feel at ease.

But... you can't just send it directly, that doesn't make sense.
To be continued...
