The Romantic Cultivator

1073 Ji Yuan is the Mole!

Now that Ji Yuan had arrived, the small banquet was kickstarted.

This intention of this banquet was to welcome Juan Xian'Er from the Royal City of Nefarious as well as to welcome Ding Xiaoxiao to the Nightfall Heights.

Now that the banquet had started and everyone seemed to have settled into the banquet's mood, the Cardinal Patriarch could not resist asking aloud, "I wonder how did the Cardinal Priestess and Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao become friends?"

It was the curious question that Juan Xian'Er, Jun Qianfeng, Li Yifen, the Cardinal Pope and the Cardinal Herald were all curious to know as well.

Actually, they all wanted to ask how the Cardinal Priestess befriended a high level desolate cultivator like Ding Xiaoxiao in the first place.

Ji Yuan wanted to step in to make up a story for this when Xuan Qiaoqiao chuckled softly as she answered this question, "I have met Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao when I disappeared from the Nightfall Heights a while ago. That is how I have met her and Holy Harpy 4444. The real name of Holy Harpy 4444 is actually Ji Yuan."

Xuan Qiaoqiao had actually been rehearsing about this story for some time already.

The Cardinal Patriarch answered, "I see…"

Just as he was about to continue another question, Ding Xiaoxiao had suddenly said. "I think most of you must be wondering why a high level desolate cultivator will be around here, am I right? And you must be curious if I am a half-step immortal or a true immortal too."

When Ding Xiaoxiao had said this, there were an uneasy mood that settled upon everyone; indeed, most of them were interested to know about this and she was not wrong.

Her cultivation was a little too high. They could estimate that she must be at least the 8th cultivation realm since she could hover in the air but because she did not fully display her full profound animus, they really could not tell.

Even Juan Xian'Er and the Cardinal Patriarch were not able to read her cultivation core as it was shrouded. 

They could only suspect that she may be either a 9th realm cultivator or have a powerful profound treasure that could hide her cultivation realm. 

Ding Xiaoxiao returned a wry smile, "I am a desolate immortal from the Immortal Great Desolate Realm."

When she had admitted her origins, many of them were all gasping with disbelief.

The Cardinal Pope was blinking his eyes, "For an immortal to descend to a lower realm and moreover it is to another firmament of the 6 Divine Realm, won't the cost for doing so be extremely high?"

He could not help but ask this question.

Even the Cardinal Herald was asking, "May we know what is your purpose of paying our realm a visit? And how long are you able to stay here?"

Ding Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly, "Naturally the price is really high. As for how long that I will be staying here, it is just for a short time. I won't be here in a month's time. As for my purposes, I am merely sightseeing here."

She had so casually mentioned that she was only sightseeing in this place that most of the listeners actually did not quite believe her.

Not even Xuan Qiaoqiao and Juan Xian'Er.

Ding Xiaoxiao said casually, "But since that I am here and I also know your Great Patriarch Sword Saint quite well, I can offer you my help at the same time."

The Cardinal Pope was spirited immediately as he laughed, "We really need all the help that we can muster against the Nefarious Blood Kingdom. This great help is really timely."

When he had said that, Xuan Qiaoqiao, Juan Xian'Er, Li Yifen and Jun Qianfeng could not help but to look at Ji Yuan.

It was because the fake 'Great Patriarch Sword Saint' which was Ji Yuan was sitting in this banquet and he was pretending to be a 2nd realm cultivator.

But no matter if Ding Xiaoxiao's story was true or not, it was not important for now. It was because the Ancient Race really needed any help that they could muster against the Nefarious Blood Kingdom.

The Cardinal Herald was now turning to look at Juan Xian'Er, "Now that Maiden Juan Xian'Er is here, you can tell us what has happened in the Royal City of Nefarious?"

Juan Xian'Er began to sigh heavily, "The Abyssal King Gong Magog is not interested in negotiating with us and he had even launched a surprise attack on our envoy group, killing or capturing most of us. I am probably the only one that has managed to escape."

The Cardinal Herald solemnly sighed, "Didn't we agree to marry the Cardinal Priestess to him? He couldn't wait for a few days?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao: …

Juan Xian'Er softly said, "Are we still having illusions that the Abyssal King Gong Magog will leave our Ancient Race in peace after he has become emperor? His aim is to establish the Holy Communism to rule the entire Dark Abyssal Realm. Our Old Religion is obsolete in his eyes. He wants to subjugate us instead."

Xuan Qiaoqiao was not eager to be married off to the Abyssal King Gong Magog so she quickly added, "The terrible attack on our Nightfall Heights is proof of that and this won't be the last that we seen of the Nefarious Blood Kingdom."

The Cardinal Pope began to sigh heavily, "Do we really need to go to war? None of the other abyssal kingdoms seem to be willing to aid us… not only is Abyssal King Gong Magog a powerful cultivator, he also has the aid of a True Abyssal God the Gong Diablo who is on his side. Can we really win? The survival of our race is at stake in this place."

Xuan Qiaoqiao asked coldly, "After our envoys were all killed by him and after he had attacked our sacred Nightfall Heights, do you think that peace is a possibility? We do have the Great Patriarch Sword Saint to help us and also Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao too. I think we can win."

The Cardinal Pope gravely said, "Against a powerful True God? I think it isn't possible."

The Cardinal Patriarch and the Cardinal Herald were both nodding too as they said together, "We need to discuss this more thoroughly. We cannot risk another conflict with the Nefarious Blood Kingdom anymore…"

"Although we may have won but it was only a narrow victory. We have not fought with some of the powerful abyssal cultivators of the Nefarious Blood Kingdom. At least, we have not even seen the top 10 most powerful abyssal cultivators of the Nefarious Blood Kingdom yet. Any one of them can give us hell." The Cardinal Pope pointed out.

The Cardinal Herald gave a hopeful reply, "Maybe after our victory, they will be more susceptible to a peace treaty with us. Diplomacy works best after a victory. I can send our envoys to them for another round of discussion."

Xuan Qiaoqiao was cursing them: They are all pacifists…

At the same time, she was looking a little perplexed when she saw that the Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen was unusually quiet; in the past Li Yifen seemed to be in a hurry to marry her off to the Abyssal King Gong Magog.

Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng was actually on her side and that was why she had been in a logger-heads with her mother consort. 

Xuan Qiaoqiao did not know that Li Yifen is now firmly on her side due to Ji Yuan.

All of a sudden Ji Yuan spoke up, "Pardon this lowly cultivator for saying this but I think we should not have any illusions for any peace with this Abyssal King Gong Magog. As for this Immortal Abyssal Gong Diablo, I think he won't be able to come just yet."

The Cardinal Pope asked Ji Yuan curiously, "Why do you say that? He had actually come 3 months ago and we have all experienced his terrifying oppressing aura."

Ji Yuan grinned, "If he wants to come, he can come in a blink of an eye."

Then he turned to the Cardinal Pope and asked, "But he didn't attack the Nightfall Heights, right?"

The Cardinal Pope answered, "Not exactly but we can all feel his oppressing profound aura…"

Ding Xiaoxiao interrupted him with a wryly smile, "If he uses his immortal strength then he may not be able to stay in this realm for too long. He needs to conserve his immortal strength until it is necessary for him to act. If I am not wrong, he wants to ensure that this Abyssal King Gong Magog can become the emperor of the abyssals first."

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "That is what I am thinking as well too!"

"Everyone! Don't believe him!" All of a sudden Herald Ma Laide had appeared by the entrance of the great hall with Millenium Jun Feitian.

The sudden appearance and commotion that was caused by Herald Ma Laide startled everyone.

Herald Ma Laide was suddenly pointing his finger at Ji Yuan and he was saying coldly, "I have every reason to believe that this lowly human is a mole that is planted in the Nightfall Heights by the Abyssal King Gong Magog!"

Ji Yuan immediately frowned, "I am a mole?!"
