The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 960: Poaching
Chapter 960: Poaching
Jian Ling was taken aback, not expecting Su Jingzhen to ask such a question. A bitter smile flashed across her face, and she didn't deny it.
"Senior Brother Mu Cong indeed has a good impression of me and has been taking care of me ever since I joined the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect. However, I have no feelings for him."
As she spoke, Jian Ling rolled her eyes playfully.
Although she said she wasn't interested, Su Jingzhen had already sensed that Jian Ling had some dislike towards Mu Cong, the blue-clothed man.
Su Jingzhen's eyes sparkled with mischief, and he took Jian Ling's hand directly.
His gaze, which had been normal just moments before, suddenly turned passionate.
The disciples from both factions were shocked by this scene.
"What's going on? Junior Brother Su is really something else."
"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
The Divine Dan Sect disciples couldn't help but discuss the situation, their eyes gleaming with excitement. The female disciples, however, looked a bit dejected.
Among the 55 people on this trip, there were many female disciples who had thought that this training session would be an opportunity to establish a relationship with Su Jingzhen. But now, it seemed like that was unlikely.
At the very least, the female disciple from the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect was far superior to them in terms of both appearance and aura.
At this time, Shangguan Tiangong thought for a moment before speaking, "This girl has an extraordinary aura, and her cultivation seems to be quite strong as well.
She should be Jian Ling, the chief disciple of the Shangling Sword Sect, who participated in the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition about a month ago and achieved a remarkable ranking."
Jian Ling had originally had the opportunity to join top-tier factions like the Extreme Ice Hall or the Martial God Hall, but ultimately chose the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect.
According to Shangguan Tiangong's information, Jian Ling and Su Jingzhen had a good relationship.
Moreover, he knew that Mu Cong, the young leader of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, was very fond of Jian Ling.
Su Jingzhen's actions now seemed to be intentionally provoking them.
Shangguan Tiangong's expression was filled with excitement as he spoke.
If Su Jingzhen were to hear these words, he would likely be even more astonished. This guy was truly a genius in the cultivation world.
"Jian Ling, you should be clear about your identity," Mu Cong's angry voice rang out.
Su Jingzhen felt a cold killing intent enveloping him.
He knew that from the moment he took Jian Ling's hand, he would likely be at odds with Mu Cong.
Of course, that was his intention from the very start. Mu Cong had humiliated the disciples of the Divine Dan Sect, and Su Jingzhen couldn't tolerate it.
As the leader of the Divine Dan Sect, he wanted to test the strength of a late-stage Spirit Immortal cultivator.
After all, he had the Bai Suzhen in his Spirit Beast Bag.
Since Bai Suzhen was already recognized as his contract beast, using her power would be reasonable.
"Why don't you come to the Divine Dan Sect? We'll welcome you even if you're not an alchemist. We also need strong cultivators to serve as guardians,"
Su Jingzhen said with a smile, not lowering his voice. He was openly poaching Jian Ling.
His words weren't wrong, as the Divine Dan Sect also had many disciples who were not alchemists.
Any faction that focused on alchemy would have both alchemists and guardians working together in harmony.
Su Jingzhen remembered that when he first entered the Divine Dan Sect's treasury, the two old men guarding the door didn't seem like alchemists.
Those old men who were always unknown to outsiders might be the true foundation of the Divine Dan Sect.
As soon as Su Jingzhen finished speaking, Mu Cong's face turned iron green, and the killing intent emanating from him could no longer be concealed.
"You little brat, you are looking for death!"
The ancient sword on his back, the Qingcang Sword, was already half drawn, and its sharp sword energy was radiating in all directions.
The Divine Dan Sect disciples' eyebrows furrowed and their expressions turned serious, but they didn't retreat.
Even if they knew that they might not be a match, they hadn't forgotten Li Lingxi's parting words: "They couldn't tarnish the reputation of the Divine Dan Sect!"
If the two groups were to clash, the worst-case scenario would be that they would be rescued by the sect's elders who were secretly protecting them.
Su Jingzhen's internal power began to stir. If Mu Cong was going to make a move, he didn't mind giving him a show of strength.
Jian Ling, however, shook her head and laughed.
"I'm doing well in the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect, and their swordsmanship is actually stronger than what people know. It suits me, so I won't join anyone else."
After speaking, Jian Ling smiled and let go of Su Jingzhen's hand.
"Let's go. It's too ugly to fight as soon as we meet. Let's at least wait until the second meeting to fight."
Jian Ling returned to the group of the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect, not particularly concerned about Mu Cong's expression.
As a mid-stage spirit immortal, even if her cultivation was inferior, she wasn't afraid of Mu Cong.
"Senior Brother Mu, let's go. The things in the Elf Forest are urgent. You also know that even if we can't defeat them, we can't kill them here. There's no need to waste time."
Mu Cong's expression remained unpleasant, and he stared at Jian Ling for several seconds.
"Jian Ling, the Divine Dan Sect and the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect are not on the same path. I hope you understand your own identity and don't stray from the right path."
Jian Ling wasn't bothered by Mu Cong's words. She smiled and said, "This matter doesn't need Senior Brother Mu's concern. I have my own judgment."
Mu Cong didn't say anything else and glanced at Su Jingzhen before leading the group from the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect into the Elf Forest.
He had thought that his earlier display of power would make him look good in front of Jian Ling, but compared to Su Jingzhen directly holding Jian Ling's hand, it seemed like nothing.
In contrast to his own efforts to woo Jian Ling in the sect, Mu Cong felt like he had become a laughing stock.
As Su Jingzhen returned to the Divine Dan Sect group, he smiled and said, "This trip to the Elf Forest might not be boring after all."
The disciples of the Divine Dan Sect looked at him with a peculiar expression.
"Junior Brother Su is indeed a wise person. However, we have to be careful of Mu Cong this time. He is a sword cultivator, but his heart isn't broad.
As soon as we enter the Elf Forest, he'll definitely look for us and pick a fight."
Lin Xiu said with a smile as he looked at Su Jingzhen.
Su Jingzhen raised his eyebrows.
"Brother Lin, you seem to be afraid of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect."
Lin Xiu sighed.
"Afraid? Not exactly. It's just that we've been beaten by them a few times during our previous training sessions, and we're getting used to it.
This time, the incident with the Divine Shepherd Sect has involved almost the entire cultivation world, and even the Emperor Realm is participating.
If we get beaten again, the Divine Dan Sect will really lose face,"
Lin Xiu's smile was tinged with frustration.
Su Jingzhen patted Lin Xiu's shoulder and laughed boldly.
"Brother Lin, don't worry. Let's enter the Elf Forest with confidence. If the Soaring Clouds Sword Sect dares to come and cause trouble, we'll make them withdraw this time!"
