These people are unwilling to be bound so they didn’t join the eight forces in this land. Since this was the case, she guessed they wouldn’t give much of a reaction to her proposal. She also didn’t anticipate much and her intention was just to let them know that she had this plan in mind. When she was able to have multitudes of people under her command one day, these people would naturally recall what she said here today.
When they heard this, their eyes flickered but they kept silent. Some looked down and polished their weapons after taking a glance at Feng Jiu. Some stared at Feng Jiu with vague expressions on their faces. Some directly got up and left.
Of course, there were those who looked at her with ridicule and mockery. “If some of us are willing to join your team, are you going to give us your barbecue and your wine?”
With her lips curved up, Feng Jiu answered with a smile. “Everyone should rely on themselves. How can they depend on what others give for a long time? Even if you join my team and want what I have, you have to see if you’re qualified enough.”
She paused to take a sip of wine, then said lazily. “I’m just giving out an invitation, not offering meat and wine. Based on your cultivation strength, if you’re joining my team only for the sake of a bite of meat and a sip of wine, I won’t dare to ask for it.”
Those people’s expressions changed. After taking a glance at Feng Jiu, they looked away and didn’t say anything more.
Feng Jiu sat there leisurely eating meat and drinking wine. After a long time, she stood up, stretched her waist and walked towards the forest in front. There were often many loose cultivators gathered here because this place had a water source. Not far ahead, there was a stream from a high mountain and the water was sweet and cold. The water here is one of the important resources for the cultivators to survive.
Some devilry cultivators saw the man in azure get up and go to the water source and had a crooked idea. The two devilry cultivators looked at each other, stood up and trailed along.
Seeing this, two or three evil cultivators also stood up and followed. Although the others who saw this scene also got the same idea, they didn’t follow as five people had already targeted the young man.
At a distance of about 500 meters between the trees and the overgrown forest, the line of sight of those people had been blocked. The man in an azure robe as well as those trailing along after him couldn’t be seen anymore. Everyone in the place, as if agreed by chance, released their divine senses to probe the situation.
However, after their divine senses were released and probed the other side, they were suddenly repelled by a stronger divine sense. At that instant, everyone was startled and started pondering while taking back their divine senses.
Whose divine sense was that? Was it the evil cultivator’s? Or was it the devilry cultivator’s? Did any of the five hide such a powerful divine sense? While polishing his weapon, the immortal sacred whom Feng Jiu had taken a fancy made a slight pause and looked up at a place in the forest, as if he had noticed something.
In front, Feng Jiu, who had been walking towards the stream, noticed that several people were following her. Then, she walked to the depths of the forest, lengthening the distance with those people behind her.
When the people behind saw that the figure in front was walking faster and faster, they couldn’t help but snort coldly and quicken their pace to follow.
Little did they know that they were also being followed…
