Dragon Knight?
What a strange title.
"Crimson Sword Immortal"'s eyes flashed.
A title was just a name; it didn't matter if it was a little unusual.
"Crimson Sword Immortal" did not intend to dwell on this matter.
However, someone felt extremely displeased, exceedingly displeased!
"Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing's face was grim.
A mysterious senior... A Dragon Knight...
His beloved junior sister... Xiao Long Nü...
Was there some "strange" connection between these two?
Unpleasant!
Extremely unpleasant!
"Crimson Sword Immortal's" eyes glinted. He looked at the leading "Righteous Golden Core cultivator" and asked,
"Why would the Dragon Knight you speak of send us this spirit wine? As far as I know, this spirit wine is invaluable!"
The leading "Golden Core Righteous cultivator" chuckled.
"Fellow Daoist has sharp eyes! This spirit wine is called Dragon Tooth Rice Wine, brewed by the senior using the Sacred Dragon Tooth Rice!"
Crimson Sword Immortal: "Sacred Dragon Tooth Rice? I've never heard of it. I only know of Dragon Tooth Rice..."
The leading "Righteous Golden Core cultivator": "Heh, it's normal that you haven't heard of it. The senior's dao is profound, his abilities reach heaven and earth. The Sacred Dragon Tooth Rice was cultivated by him through heaven-reaching means. It's unique throughout all realms. Besides the senior's Purple Jade Bamboo Grove, there is no other Sacred Dragon Tooth Rice!"
Crimson Sword Immortal: "You're boasting! Dao is profound, abilities reach heaven and earth... Hmph, aren't you afraid of the wind and your tongue getting twisted!"
The leading "Righteous Golden Core cultivator" smiled faintly and offered no further explanation. He casually produced a storage bag and tossed it to "Crimson Sword Immortal."
"Fellow Daoist, this is a small token of appreciation prepared by the senior for you. Please accept it!"
"Crimson Sword Immortal" accepted the storage bag and his expression changed slightly upon opening it.
The storage bag was filled to the brim with "Sacred Dragon Tooth Rice."
"Sacred Dragon Tooth Rice" was a special variant, containing more potent spiritual energy than "ordinary Dragon Tooth Rice," and also possessed an "ancient sage's dao charm," which was immensely beneficial for solidifying one's foundation and enhancing cultivation.
"Crimson Sword Immortal" only took one glance and was convinced that "Sacred Dragon Tooth Rice" was no trivial matter, far superior to "ordinary Dragon Tooth Rice" by several levels.
This storage bag was full of "Sacred Dragon Tooth Wood," conservatively estimated at thousands of grains.
Gulp.
Even "Crimson Sword Immortal," who had seen many battles and possessed a deep mind, couldn't help but swallow hard, his heart churning like a stormy sea.
Thousands of grains of "ordinary Dragon Tooth Rice" were already priceless and considered a colossal fortune.
And these thousands of grains of "Sacred Dragon Tooth Rice" were even more extraordinary, enough to purchase a small "cultivation sect."
Furthermore, the "Dragon Tooth Rice Wine" from before was even more valuable!
Such immense wealth, given away so casually!
This magnanimity, this bearing, was terrifying!
"Crimson Sword Immortal" felt utterly insignificant in comparison.
At this moment, "Crimson Sword Immortal" felt more insignificant than ever before!
Who exactly was this person, and what was their origin?
A sense of apprehension began to rise in "Crimson Sword Immortal's" heart.
Someone who could casually dispense such a vast fortune without batting an eye was by no means an ordinary individual!
"Crimson Sword Immortal's" gaze was intense as he fixed on the leading "Golden Core Righteous cultivator" and asked in a deep voice,
"What exactly does your senior want?"
Perhaps "Crimson Sword Immortal" himself didn't realize it, but he had already replaced the title "Dragon Knight" with "senior."
At this moment, the person in question had already established an image of power and mystery in "Crimson Sword Immortal's" mind.
The leading "Righteous Golden Core cultivator" smiled faintly and said calmly,
"The senior said that all guests are welcome, and he invites you to visit the Purple Jade Bamboo Grove! The senior is a hospitable person and does not wish to neglect you, so he sent us to greet all you fellow Daoists!"
That was all?
"Crimson Sword Immortal"'s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
Just because of "hospitality," he presented the priceless "Sacred Dragon Tooth Rice" and "Dragon Tooth Rice Wine"?
This person was either a "prodigal son" or an unfathomably profound and despairingly powerful "super senior."
An overwhelming sense of crisis surged within "Crimson Sword Immortal."
This time, he seemed to have acted too "hastily."
This person was not to be trifled with!
"Crimson Sword Immortal" intended to question the leading "Righteous Golden Core cultivator" further, hoping to glean more useful information.
However, the leading "Righteous Golden Core cultivator" smiled faintly and said,
"The fine wine has been served to all fellow Daoists. The small gifts have also been delivered to your hands. All due courtesy has been extended. We take our leave!"
With that, he led all the "Righteous Golden Core cultivators" and flew away.
After they had flown far away.
The last sentence echoed in the sky.
"The senior said he awaits your arrival at the Purple Jade Bamboo Grove!"
...
The group of "Demonic Path evil cultivators" looked at each other, bewildered.
What was going on?
They were utterly confused!
They couldn't grasp the situation at all!
The Righteous Path cultivators were sending fine wine and spirit rice. What did they want?
Were they begging for mercy?
That didn't seem like it.
And finally, they said "await your arrival," which sounded very enigmatic. Did it have some hidden meaning?
The "evil cultivators" speculated, but found no consensus.
At this moment, "Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing stepped forward.
"Putting on airs!"
His eyes were sharp, and he snorted coldly.
"Everyone, there's no need to worry. From my perspective, that so-called senior, that so-called Dragon Knight... what a ridiculous title! In any case, he's just a charlatan trying to deceive us. We don't need to fear him. We should just charge straight to his doorstep..."
As "Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing was rallying the troops, the voice of "Crimson Sword Immortal" floated from behind him.
"Zhibing, tell me about this Dragon Knight..."
"Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing's heart skipped a beat.
This tone from his senior uncle was not right!
Could it be that he was also afraid...
"Dragon King" Zhen Zhibing turned to look. He saw that "Crimson Sword Immortal's" face was slightly grim, his brows furrowed with a hint of gloom. The imposing aura he had displayed earlier, the "whoever cares" attitude, was gone!
The rule of conduct for Demonic Path evil cultivators: If you can use your fists, don't just talk!
Nonsense!
Of course, it couldn't be that "hasty"!
The true rule of conduct for us Demonic Path evil cultivators: Clear likes and dislikes, act with deliberation, never let an enemy go, and certainly never wrong the innocent!
Yes, that's how "rigorous" we are!
"Crimson Sword Immortal" hastily convened a "rigorous discussion meeting."
Until a conclusion was reached, the army would halt its advance.
One cannot be "hasty"!
One must be "rigorous"!
It must be "rigorous"!
"Crimson Sword Immortal" personally set up a barrier formation to ensure that no one could eavesdrop on their "rigorous discussion meeting."
Only then did he look at Zhen Zhibing with a complex expression and slowly ask,
"Zhibing, answer me honestly, how much do you know about this Dragon Knight senior?"
