Terran Guardian - Chapter 2154

Chapter 2139 Recruitment

Shen Changqing had an indifferent expression. The message on the visiting card in his hand was very short, consisting of only some flattering words, and stating that Bei Jue, the deputy holy lord of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, wanted to meet him.

In front of him, Duan Jing whispered: “The people coming from the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land have bad intentions, so the ancestor should be careful!”

“As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot overthrow a local snake. No matter how powerful the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land is, this is also the Hongling Market, so naturally, it will not tolerate him making a fuss.

Since he wants to see me, there’s no harm in meeting him.

Go and tell that Deputy Saint Lord that I will be waiting for him here at this time tomorrow!”

Shen Changqing didn’t seem to use any force in his hand holding the visiting card, and the card disappeared quietly, turning into ashes and dissipating.

Ancient holy land!

Although the words in the visiting card were polite, Shen Changqing could understand that the visitor had ill intentions.

but.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

Even if the person comes with bad intentions, what can we do?

If Shen Changqing was really an ordinary god, he would not be very confident about the ancient holy land.

But Shen Changqing is not an ordinary god, so he does not take the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land seriously.

…

The next day.

Bei Jue came to visit.

The other party came with a group of disciples from the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, and Shen Changqing also sent people out to greet them.

In the lobby.

Bei Jue looked at the middle-aged man in white in front of him, clasped his fists and said, “I am Bei Jue, greeting the Lord of Hongling!”

“Greetings to Lord Bei Jue!”

Shen Changqing also politely returned the gift.

Several people sat down.

Bei Jue looked at the person in front of him and asked tentatively, “May I ask where the Red Ridge Divine Lord practiced in the past? I have been in the ancient wilderness for many years and have never heard of your reputation.”

Originally, Bei Jue didn’t take Shen Changqing too seriously, but when he actually met Shen Changqing, he found that the other party was not as simple as he imagined.

The aura of the person in front of him was obscure and elusive.

You have to know that Bei Jue is already a powerful Divine Lord at the late stage. It is unlikely that a Divine Lord would want to hide his cultivation in front of him.

Since Shen Changqing is able to make himself unable to see the depth of the situation, there are only two possibilities.

Either the other party’s cultivation is higher than his own, or he has cultivated some kind of magical power that can conceal his power.

Of the two.

Bei Jue is more inclined to the latter.

He doesn’t believe it.

A strange god who is more powerful than himself.

Shen Changqing shook his head and smiled calmly, “I was originally a casual cultivator in the mountains. I was lucky enough to get a chance when I was young, which is why I was able to get to where I am today.

Later, he traveled around the world and happened to step into the ancient wilderness, so he temporarily settled down in the Hongling Mountains.

The great calamity of the times is raging now, and it is not easy for us casual cultivators to find a place to settle down. “

This sentence.

All the cultivators in the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land felt the same way.

A catastrophe breaks out.

The ancient holy land was also affected a lot.

Bei Jue said: “What the Divine Lord said is very true. Now the great calamity is sweeping across the world. No place in the Nine Provinces and Eight Wastelands can be safe. Even in the ancient wasteland, many wars broke out a few years ago, and countless Divine Emperors and Divine Lords died.

The Hongling God has a strong cultivation base, and practicing in the Hongling Mountains would have been no problem in the past.

But now catastrophes happen frequently, and the dark camp and the underworld camp have been fighting each other endlessly. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult for us monks to protect ourselves.

In my opinion, even if the Red Ridge Mountains are peaceful now, I am afraid it will not last long!”

To the end.

Bei Jue looked worried, as if he was really thinking about Shen Changqing.

Upon hearing this, the latter calmly asked, “Did Lord Bei Jue say this because he has received some news?”

“To be honest with you, our Ancient Wasteland Holy Land has received news that the Dark Camp is now integrating its army and intends to step into the Ancient Wasteland again and capture the Nine Cities of the Ancient Wasteland.

The last battle of the Nine Cities in Ancient Wasteland took place hundreds of years ago. Many powerful men died in that battle, and the impact was widespread.

Now the war is about to start again, and it will surely be more intense than the last time.”

Shen Changqing’s eyes moved slightly when he heard this.

The dark camp is back!

This news is quite important to him.

Of course.

He had no intention of confronting the dark camp.

Now that Shen Changqing has fallen out with the Demon Lord, he has completely left any camp. In this situation, he doesn’t have to think so much and just needs to seek benefits from it.

War broke out.

It is a disaster for ordinary cultivators, but it may not be a disaster for Shen Changqing.

after all.

War often represents opportunity.

Shen Changqing needs a large number of fragments of the great Dao rules to break through now. If a strong man can die, he will have a chance to break through.

Seeing Shen Changqing silent, Bei Jue thought that the other party was frightened by the news, so he smiled indifferently and continued speaking.

“There are many independent cultivators in the Hongling Mountains. If a war breaks out between the two sides, they might be affected. It is rumored that the dark camp often forcibly recruits independent cultivators to accompany the army, forcing other cultivators to participate in the war.

Your Excellency is now well-known in the Ancient Wasteland. If you are targeted by the Dark Camp, it will definitely be bad. “

After Bei Jue finished speaking, Shen Changqing looked at him meaningfully.

“Could it be that Lord Bei Jue has a way to crack it?”

“Of course!”

Bei Jue smiled proudly.

“Our Ancient Wasteland Holy Land has stood in the Ancient Wasteland for many years, and can be considered deeply rooted. In addition, we have always maintained neutrality. Even if a war breaks out, both sides will give us some face.

Your Excellency is a powerful God Lord, but you are willing to be a casual cultivator, which is always a loss of God Lord status, so this old man came here to invite Hongling God Lord to join my Ancient Wasteland Holy Land. “

At this point, Bei Jue finally revealed his true intentions and stated his purpose directly.

“With your cultivation as a Divine Lord and your status as a third-rank Talisman Grandmaster, if you could join the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, we would be even more powerful. In this way, we would have a better chance of resisting the coming catastrophe.

Moreover, the Holy Lord has said before that if the Lord of Hongling is willing to join the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, he can be the Deputy Holy Lord of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land and be on equal footing with me!”

The Deputy Saint Lord of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land!
Shen Changqing’s expression slightly changed.

He was not surprised that Bei Jue came to recruit him, but Shen Changqing was a little surprised that the other party could offer him the position of Deputy Holy Lord.

Immediately.

Shen Changqing also reacted.

Just the deputy holy lord.

A fictitious position.

The Ancient Wasteland Holy Land had long been in decline, with only two gods in charge. Now, offering a nominal title of deputy saint lord and recruiting another god who had cultivated to the third-order master level in the art of talismans would undoubtedly be a huge profit.

That’s not all.

The Ancient Wasteland Holy Land can also take this opportunity to directly intervene in the affairs of Hongling Market.

In this way.

The conditions offered by the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land are a sure win.

While Shen Changqing was silent, Bei Jue was already looking at him with a smile, looking very confident.

How many cultivators want to join the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land and rack their brains for it, but not everyone can succeed.

What’s more, this time the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land did not conduct an ordinary recruitment, but directly offered the position of Deputy Holy Lord.

As long as he is a normal monk, there is no reason to refuse him.

Just when Bei Jue thought that there was nothing unexpected in this matter, Shen Changqing’s voice also came.

“I am honored to be valued by the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, but I am used to freedom and not to being constrained, so I need to consider what the Divine Lord said.”

“Hongling Divine Lord agreed to…what?”

As soon as Bei Jue finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and looked at Shen Changqing with eyes full of disbelief.

What is the other party saying?
This is a rejection!
The so-called consideration is just a polite remark. Any normal person can hear the rejection in the other party’s words.

This caught Bei Jue completely by surprise.

At this time, the smile on his face was difficult to maintain and his expression was a little solemn.

“Hongling Divine Lord must understand that catastrophes are happening frequently nowadays. Even if independent cultivators are very strong, it is difficult for them to protect themselves. Only by joining other forces and combining the strength of a group of cultivators can they truly survive the catastrophe.

Our Ancient Wasteland Holy Land is second to none in terms of strength in the entire Ancient Wasteland, not to mention that the position of the Deputy Holy Lord is also extremely respected, so why do you need to consider so much?”

“I understand God’s good intentions, but this matter is of great importance, so I need to think carefully about it. When I make a decision, I will inform God immediately!”

“Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will not force you. Goodbye!”

Bei Jue did not say anything more. As a god, he also had to save his reputation. After being rejected by Shen Changqing repeatedly, he had no intention of continuing.

so.

When the words fell.

Bei Jue simply led the other cultivators away.

Watching the backs of the people leaving, the smile on Shen Changqing’s face gradually faded, and his eyes gradually became calm, but the calmness was a little scary.

“This time, I have offended the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land. I hope you can understand better. Otherwise, there will be no need for the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land to exist!”

Bei Jue was dissatisfied because he was rejected, and Shen Changqing saw it clearly.

but.

No matter how dissatisfied the other party is, as long as it doesn’t affect him, he doesn’t bother to pay attention.

But if the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land becomes angry and humiliated because of this, Shen Changqing doesn’t mind taking action personally and wiping out the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land.

A declining holy sect.

to be honest.

Shen Changqing really didn’t take the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land seriously.

Even though it was an ancient holy land that was once prosperous and ruled by a divine emperor, he would not feel any pressure.

…

The other side.

After coming out of Shen Changqing’s mansion, Bei Jue’s face, which was not very good to begin with, now became completely gloomy, as dark as ink as if water could drip out of it.

“Deputy Saint Lord, what should we do now?”

An elder frowned slightly.

Shen Changqing’s refusal also caught them by surprise.

Bei Jue said indifferently: “If he wants to consider it, then let him consider it carefully. Next, let’s wait for the auction. The third-level master’s talisman is also of great use to the holy land.

If we can get all of them, they will be of great use!”
