Chapter 1324 Do they dare to continue their evil deeds?
"……fine."
He said he was fine, but his expression clearly showed that he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Fellow Daoist, after you go in, you should use the Illusionary Body Pearl."
Just as Ning Ruan was about to turn around, the Phoenix Clan cultivator couldn't help but transmit his voice.
Ning Ruan: "?"
"why?"
The Phoenix Clan cultivator remained expressionless, but his tone in the telepathic message was full of anxiety: "Don't ask so many questions, anyway, I won't harm you."
"If I talk to you too much, I'll easily get into trouble."
"In short, you should just use the Illusionary Body Bead."
"If you don't absolutely have to come to this Eternal Domain, it would be best for you to leave."
"That's all I have to say. Just pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, I won't admit that I said anything."
After saying that, the Phoenix Clan cultivators called the next batch of cultivators who were going to enter the Eternal Domain to come to the Water Mirror for inspection.
Neither his expression nor his tone of voice showed anything unusual.
You'd never guess she was just urgently trying to send a telepathic message...
Ning Ruan doesn't insist on getting to the bottom of everything.
While it's possible to spend money, since they've already made things so clear, there's no need to do so.
She turned and entered the Eternal Realm.
However, the Illusionary Bead is still not actually used.
While busy with his work, the Phoenix Clan cultivator glanced at Ning Ruan's departing figure out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that she still looked like a human, with no change in appearance or clothing, he stomped his foot in anger.
"You're so stupid! I shouldn't have been kind enough to help you; you just had to go looking for death!"
After muttering something to himself, he couldn't help but worry again.
Seeing that his cultivation level was not even as high as hers, he came to the Eternal Domain all by himself.
It's one thing for them to come, but to make matters worse, it happens to be the territory of the Jiaolong clan.
Isn't this just like a lamb being led to the slaughter?
……
The Eternal Realm, where the atmosphere was far more somber than usual, had an unexpected event today.
Such a thing has never been seen in thousands of years.
“I saw it with my own eyes. Just now, outside the Eternal Domain, a group of Boundless Bandits escorted a group of cultivators in. They said they had received some kind of protection fee and then safely delivered them. Isn’t that absurd?”
"Is it truly the Boundless Bandits?"
"How could that be fake? There are three large spirit ships! If it were a powerful figure from some race traveling by destiny, perhaps they would have this kind of entourage, but they should all be of the same race, right? Hey, there are at least dozens of races on these three spirit ships. They can't all have the means to disguise themselves, can they? Even if they do, there's no need for them to disguise themselves."
"If that's the case, then it's true. With so many races mixed together, only the Boundless Bandits could be."
"The Boundless Bandits would escort people to the Eternal Realm? What a joke! When have they ever been so kind? They'd be more likely to escort corpses."
"If you don't believe me, you can go out and see for yourself. They haven't left yet. I heard they're still entertaining customers. They say that as long as you pay protection money, they'll escort you to the next Eternal Domain."
"Wouldn't that make it similar to the passenger ships of the ten major races?"
"Yes, it's about the same. I wonder how many spirit stones they'll charge."
"Could it be that you, fellow Daoist, would like to go and sit for a while? Those are the Boundless Bandits, after all. What if they turn on you and kill you halfway through? Besides, do you think the Ten Great Races will just let them do as they please?"
"There's nothing we can do but let them be. The leader of that group is very strong! I'm afraid even if the city lords of the ten cities don't come out, there aren't many who can defeat him."
"..."
Ning Ruan is cooking rice.
While eating rice, they didn't forget to enjoy some melon.
Of course, she actually wanted to hear some gossip about the Dragon Spirit Pearl.
After all, it would make it easier for her to do it.
But who would have thought that after eating for so long, the discussion would still revolve around her connections?
Opposite Ning Ruan sat Chi Ling's soul form.
Having not appeared for a long time, her spirit is now very solid, and she looks like a very healthy ghost.
It's a pity that the soul cannot eat.
So Chiling could only watch.
His face wore an extremely complicated expression.
There are many dishes on the table.
She watched as Ning Ruan slowly and methodically finished off the last piece of grilled meat.
He picked up another cup of a drink made from some kind of spiritual fruit, took a sip, and then closed his eyes in satisfaction.
The whole process seemed to be full of enjoyment and comfort.
"Ning Ruan," Chi Ling finally couldn't hold back, "You're clearly a cultivator, why are you so greedy for food?"
Since waking up, she has witnessed firsthand that Ning Ruan's first act upon arriving in every Eternal Domain is to raid all the major restaurants.
Even more so, when she was wandering in the Boundless Realm, after taking in that group of Boundless Bandits, the first thing she did was ask who could cook.
Then the cooks would gather together and be ordered to research new recipes every day.
This is no longer just about indulging in strong tastes.
She'd never seen anything this heavy before.
Ning Ruan raised her eyelids and said matter-of-factly, "I'm not eating, I'm cultivating."
Chiling: "..."
I don't believe you.
In her soul form, she couldn't even roll her eyes; she could only silently express her speechlessness.
Seeing Ning Ruan start working on a plate of golden-yellow pastries again, Chi Ling gave up on arguing with her about the matter and instead asked about something else that concerned her more.
Why didn't you kill those endless bandits?
This question had been lingering in her mind ever since she witnessed Ning Ruan subdue the first batch of Wuyin bandits.
I've wanted to ask this for a long time.
But at that time, she felt that Ning Ruan must have had a deeper meaning in doing so.
So I kept quiet and didn't ask.
Even now, despite the endless bandits recruiting her batch after batch, she still can't understand the deeper meaning behind their actions.
Ning Ruan raised her head, her clear eyes looking at her, and asked in return, "Why would I kill?"
This matter-of-fact tone almost made Chi Ling choke on her breath.
“They are the Boundless Bandits!” she emphasized. “The Boundless Bandits commit all sorts of atrocities, looting everywhere. How many innocent cultivators’ blood is on their hands? Whenever we cultivators encounter such people, we should kill them all!”
"If you can't kill them, you should avoid their sharp edge and wait for another day to go back and kill them. But I know you can kill them."
Ning Ruan took a bite of the pastry and nodded.
After swallowing his food, he slowly continued, "You're right about everything."
"If I don't kill them now, will they dare to continue committing evil?"
"?"
This question caused Chiling to hesitate for a moment.
She really couldn't bring herself to say the word "dare".
Ning Ruan's so-called soul-controlling talisman was truly too bizarre.
Even Nascent Soul Realm experts were helpless against that talisman.
Instead, they were completely controlled.
Ning Ruan has taken control of the Nascent Soul Realm expert.
The latter, relying on its own strength, completely suppressed the other bandits.
As a result, those guys really didn't dare to go against Ning Ruan's wishes.
...Otherwise, they wouldn't have transformed from the infamous Wuyin Bandits into a well-regarded guard unit.
Seeing that Chi Ling remained silent, Ning Ruan continued, "They are not only not doing evil now, but also doing good deeds."
"Of course, it can't be considered a purely good thing, since it's all about getting paid to do things."
"But no matter what, having them escort you will certainly help you avoid a lot of danger, right?"
