Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 604 Troubled Times

The old woman pulls a long face with anger.

In fact, she has heard of Doudou before.

She doesn’t understand why a mutated panda is capable of eating the ghost worms hiding in one’s soul.

At first, she thought the Dragon Court was blowing smoke but after an investigation, she found it was actually true.

She feels a sense of crisis.

Now the feeling just grows stronger.

Looking at the old woman sitting on the chair, the two young disciples of the Ghost Sect are sweating with their heads stuck to the ground tightly and their bodies slightly trembling.

For them, the old woman is much scarier than the ghost worms. If they act carelessly, they will be brutally killed on the spot.

Therefore, as long as they stay with the old woman, they feel overwhelmingly stressed. Worse still, they’ve just told her bad news.

“What’s about the panda?” The old woman turns around and asks Meng Jing.

The owner of the panda is Gao Ge.

The old woman knows that.

Meng Jing is Gao Ge’s girlfriend.

On this issue, she had better ask Meng Jing for her opinion.

The old woman was nice to Meng Jing with a gracious face, but now her voice is somewhat cold. Evidently, she is really flustered and gets anxious.

“Granny, neither do I know...” Meng Jing lowers her head and whispers.

“You don’t know?” The old woman snorts. Obviously, she doesn’t believe Meng Jing’s reply, but now the case is that Meng Jing must have no idea about that since she claims that she doesn’t know. The old woman can’t say too much, or she may make Meng Jing disgruntled.

For such a person as the old woman, she needs to consider Meng Jing’s feelings when she speaks or acts.

It can tell that she does attach much importance to Meng Jing.

“It seems that we still need to go to Qiu City,” the old woman sighs.

Meng Jing whispers, “Granny, I have an idea but I’m not sure whether I should tell you about it or not.”

“Tell me,” the old woman glimpses her and replies.

Meng Jing coughs and says gently, “Here is what I think. Now the situation in Qiu City is complicated. Our opponents have so many masters and they have found a way to restrain the ghost worms. In this case, why don’t we just go to another place? Why do we have to stick to Qiu City?”

The two disciples are still kneeling on the ground with their faces towards the ground. Their facial expressions can’t be seen but in fact, they agree with Meng Jing.

Neither do they understand why the old woman has to persist in confronting the Dragon Court and Gao Ge in Qiu City.

For the people of the Ghost Sect, it is courting death to confront the Dragon Court with toughness.

Moreover, by now Water Dragon, Fire Dragon and Earth Dragon have already arrived in Qiu City. Plus Gao Ge, there are four cultivators at the realm of Master. In terms of their current capability, they will be damned if they confront the four cultivators at the realm of Master.

The old woman lets out a sigh.

She takes a glance at Meng Jing and says, “How can I not think of what you said? However, we can’t leave Qiu City for some reasons. Once we give up upon the city, we will fail.”

Meng Jing is slightly stunned. With a frown, she starts ruminating.

They can’t leave Qiu City?

Why can’t they leave Qiu City?

Suddenly, something flashes across her mind and she seems to figure it out. Then she slightly puckers her lips without uttering any word.

The old woman doesn’t notice Meng Jing’s complicated look. She just reaches out her hand to take a sip of water. Then she says, “You two continue watching the panda and Gao Ge. Keep me informed.”

Amidst talking, the old woman suddenly reaches out her hand to stuff a venomous worm into the ear of one of the disciples.

“Granny...” The young disciple immediately gives a terrified look.

The old woman snorts, “As a disciple of the Ghost Sect, how can you fear death so much? Rest assured. The venomous worm won’t kill you. It can only be of use if you want to contact me. It is a child worm and I have the parent worm. These are some talismans. When you burn the talisman, I can see what you see and hear what you hear.”

The disciple of the Ghost Sect is finally relieved with a sigh.

What the old woman said about fearing death is crap for him.

What’s about the disciple of the Ghost Sect?

Does the disciple of the Ghost Sect not fear death? Come on. Everyone knows that people only join the Ghost Sect because they can’t stand the pains of cultivation or they are too slow-witted.

If they can take the righteous path, why do they take an evil path?

Of course, it is a thought only. Never does he dare to voice it out.

After driving away the two disciples of the Ghost Sect, the old woman remains silent for a long time.

Meng Jing still stands aside quietly without airing her opinion.

Eventually, the old woman raises her head and looks at Meng Jing, saying, “Jing, let’s pack our things.”

“Granny, we are leaving?” Meng Jing says with confusion, “Are we avoiding trouble?”

The old woman sneers, “Of course not. We are not leaving but heading towards Qiu City!”

“To Qiu City?” Meng Jing is really astounded. Isn’t going to Qiu City now equal to confronting the Dragon Court?

Thinking back and forth, she still nods her head, “Yes, Granny.”

She can’t do anything about it.

The old woman just dislikes others’ questioning her decision.

Even Meng Jing has been scolded for that reason.

The old man walks out of the room. Standing in the yard, she heaves a sigh.

“I can’t wait anymore. Absolutely not...”

...

In a shopping mall of Qiu City, Gao Ge is walking behind Xia Lu.

He looks really downhearted.

“Hey, Xia Lu, when are we going back?” Gao Ge asks.

Xia Lu turns around and takes a look at Gao Ge, saying unhappily, “What? Is it condescending of you to go out with me?”

Gao Ge hastens to shake his head, “No, no. It’s just that Qiu City is in an uneasy state now...”

“Yeah... We are in troubled times now...” Xia Lu nods her head and knows that Gao Ge is telling the truth, but she is a bit irritated, “However, if you are shopping with Meng Jing, you won’t care whether Qiu City is in an uneasy state or not, will you?”

“Of course I still care...” Gao Ge touches his nose and replies insincerely. He is not an exceedingly straightforward man. Of course he knows what he should say and what he shouldn’t say. Even if Xia Lu is telling the truth, he can’t admit it!

“Enough. We’ve been in Qiu City for some time, during which we’ve been so occupied. I simply want to buy some clothes for you and you can get some fresh air too. I suppose it won’t delay you, will it?” Xia Lu stares at Gao Ge and says.

Slightly stunned, Gao Ge didn’t expect Xia Lu to think so. For the moment, he has mixed feelings and stays quiet for a while. Then he nods his head and gives a smile, “No, definitely not.”

“Let’s go. This one. Go inside and take a look!”

After saying that, Xia Lu grabs Gao Ge’s arm and walks inside.
