Chapter 111: The strong sense of rejection that keeps people at a distance from miles away

"Wait, fellow Daoists!"

"Ah?! Who's there?!"

"Who?!!"

The two were greatly alarmed, instinctively reprimanding, wondering if there were cultivators here since the spiritual energy didn't gather?

They looked in the direction of the voice, wielding their magical implements in hand. Could it be enemies lurking here, making it impossible for their divine senses to probe?

Two dark figures emerged from the depths of the cave, awkwardly smiling: "We'll leave first; you can continue..."

The big black ox followed silently, looking somewhat embarrassed. How did they encounter such a situation?

The two were shocked by the strange attire of the newcomers. The man's expression turned cold.

"We are disciples of the Huaming Valley. Since fellow Daoists arrived here first, we can yield..."

His words suddenly halted, with cold sweat appearing on his forehead. The woman's pupils also contracted, suppressing the thousand words of anger that were about to be uttered.

Their magical powers were completely suppressed. These two oddballs turned out to be seniors!

"No need to worry, no need to worry," Chen Xun waved his hand gently as he passed by them. "Dispel the formation to avoid backlash."

The big black ox also nodded towards the two. Breaking the formation forcefully would harm the one who set it up.

"Yes, senior." The pair of Daoist companions were greatly shaken. A senior in the cultivation world who was so easy to talk to? Unbelievable... They exchanged a glance, feeling uncertain, but still dispelled the formation and stood respectfully in place, not daring to raise their heads.

After a while, there was no movement in the cave. The man sneakily glanced around, realizing that the two had disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief.

It felt like they had just been through a battle, their backs soaked in cold sweat. It seemed like a narrow escape.

"Senior Zhang, who are these two seniors?"

"Senior Jiang, they are truly formidable experts."

Senior Zhang's chest rose and fell slightly, saying solemnly, "Today, we haven't seen anything, and we shouldn't mention it again."

"Yes, Senior Zhang." Senior Jiang seemed to have a sudden understanding, nodding gently.

The two then left, their enthusiasm dampened by Chen Xun and the big black ox's interference.

Finally, they arrived in Jin Feng Province and reached the Qian Nations Imperial City. It had been seven years since they left their homeland.

Their point of longevity was still focused on their magical powers.

Every day, Chen Xun and the big black ox used the essence of all things to nourish their life-bound magical treasures, and they hadn't reached their limits yet. They continued to improve.

Along the way, they had gained some weathering on their faces, but also some openness.

As the sun set, the earth was bathed in the colorful twilight, and a gentle breeze brought the fragrance of flowers and trees.

The imperial city stood quietly under the sky; its ancient walls seemed to bear many scars, having experienced countless wars, displaying a disdainful attitude towards the world.

Unlike the buildings of cultivators, this was the crystallization of the wisdom, blood, and tears of countless ordinary people, carrying a heavy historical weight.

Inside the city gate, there was still a bustling scene, many people were dressed luxuriously, and there were city guards everywhere on the city gate and towers, their eyes scanning everywhere.

Today, there were still many scholars heading to the imperial court for the exam. They walked hurriedly, excited in their eyes and uplifted in their hearts.

Chen Xun and the big black ox sat far outside the imperial city, looking at the walls dyed golden by the setting sun, and began to comment.

"Old ox, this is the imperial city." Chen Xun sighed and said, "It's truly magnificent..."

"Moo~~" The big black ox was also amazed. This imperial city was even more exaggerated than the Panning City, and the city walls were so high.

They just sat quietly like this, from sunset to nightfall. Many people passing by seemed to involuntarily ignore them.

At this moment, two sisters approached. One had a pure and gentle face, while the other had a cold demeanor. They had bright eyes and white teeth, with beautiful features.

One was dressed in green, and the other in purple. They walked slowly to Chen Xun.

"Sir."

"Hmm?" Chen Xun raised an eyebrow slightly. It turned out to be cultivators, and they were at the fifth level of the Qi Refining stage. "What can I do for you, two ladies?"

The big black ox remained unmoved, just glanced at them, appearing as indifferent as an ordinary ox, with no hint of intelligence in its eyes.

"We, sisters, find the sir's temperament somewhat special and would like to make acquaintances."

"Hehe." Chen Xun smiled politely, finding it quite unusual. His gaze shifted to the distance. "If you ladies have any business, please speak."

They frowned slightly, suddenly feeling uncomfortable. This person seemed calm on the surface, but there was always a strong sense of rejection that kept people at a distance.
