Chu Jun frowned slightly. He knew that Eldest Senior Brother was not a gossip person. He definitely had his reasons for asking this question, but this question was not easy to answer.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Junior Brother Chu, although Li Xiangjun has a bad past, she is just a pitiful victim. Now that she has cleaned up all her luxury, she has reformed and worked wholeheartedly for you …!"

Chu Jun already understood what Shangguan Yu wanted to say. He bitterly smiled and said, "Big Senior Brother, you misunderstood. I don't mind her past!"

Shangguan Yu couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Then you are …?"

"Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I just feel that Li Xiangjun's utilitarian heart is too heavy, her desire to control power is too strong, so …"

"So you think she's loyal to you because of her passion for power, fearing that one day you won't be able to satisfy her desire for power, or that you won't be able to provide enough arena for her to use, that she'll betray you?" Shangguan Yu said the words in Chu Jun's heart.

Chu Jun helplessly spread out his hands and said, "I did think so at the beginning, but after so many things, even I can't explain myself!"

Shangguan Yu frowned and said, "Junior Brother Chu, you and Junior Sister Zhao entered the eighteenth floor. Afterwards, the demons captured Nether Island. Everyone thought that you wouldn't be able to return. The Gong Clan even snatched our spirit mines. Later, the Ice Profound Sect and Huanqian Sect even came to our door. Facing the three powerful top forces, we were helpless. Even the Shao Clan might be shaken. However, even under such circumstances, Incense Chief Li did not have the slightest intention of betraying him. He came up with a plan to try to protect the Heavenly Phoenix Sect. It can be seen from this that she is completely loyal to you! "

Chu Jun took a deep breath and nodded, "Indeed!"

"But you still don't trust her. Have you ever thought that the distrust you showed would hurt her?"

Chu Jun could only smile bitterly. He recalled that Li Xiangjun had seduced him back then, and the fragrant scene was still vivid in his mind. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he did not hesitate. Chu Jun didn't care about Li Xiangjun's past, but he couldn't tolerate disloyalty after becoming his own woman, even if there was such a hidden danger.

Shangguan Yu patted Chu Jun's shoulder and said, "A man can hold cold power for a generation, but a woman can't. No matter how strong a woman is, she needs a shoulder that she can rely on and a warm and firm embrace. Rather than going further and further away, and even letting her create resentment and betray you, it would be better for her to become your woman!"

Chu Jun's heart trembled slightly. Li Xiangjun had seen him for the past two years, and he was neither cold nor hot. Could it be that he hated her because of love? There were quite a few women depicted in Jin Yong's books. The classic representative was Li Mochou. Once a woman hated her because of love, it would be very scary. One must know that Li Xiangjun was in charge of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect's economic lifeline. But … Chu Jun couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

When Chu Jun and Shangguan Yu almost returned to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, Chief Supervisor Li Youyin hurriedly greeted them. While wiping the sweat off his forehead, he said, "Sect Master, this subordinate is going to find you!"

"Is something the matter?" Chu Jun couldn't help but ask. Being able to work two hundred kilograms of General Manager Li's body was definitely not a trivial matter.

Li Youyin nodded and said, "The City Lord is here. He is waiting in the hall!"

"Oh, Wei Jing actually came. Take a look!"

When Chu Jun and Shangguan Yu arrived at the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, they discovered that Wei Jing was already sitting there.

"What wind brought Lord City Lord here?" Chu Jun asked with a smile.

Wei Jing smiled bitterly and said, " Patriarch Chu , sit down and chat!"

Seeing Wei Jing's serious expression, Chu Jun hurriedly sat down and said with a serious expression, "Lord City Lord, speak up!"

"The ghost race has taken over a large part of the northeast of Star Continent. They have already approached Heavenly Arch City recently. Presumably, Sect Head Chu has also heard of it, right?" Wei Jing said in a deep voice.

Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat. He nodded and said, "I have indeed received this news. Is it because our Chongming Island is going to send troops to help Xingchen Continent?"

" Patriarch Chu 's guess is correct. If the Star Continent falls, our Chongming Island will be the first to bear the brunt. Therefore, the Lord of the Continent agreed to Star Continent's Lord Luo Yang's request and sent troops to assist the Star Continent!" Wei Jing said, "First Prince Du Ru'nan will soon send 100,000 soldiers across the continent and enter Star Continent to fight against the ghosts!"

Chu Jun frowned and asked, "Lord City Lord, even if the First Prince sends troops, it's none of your business, right? What are you worried about?"

Wei Jing smiled dryly and said, "Indeed, it's none of my business. If you want to worry, it's the Bian Yang Manor. Whoever lets the Bian Yang Manor be the closest to the Star Continent, the most I can do is to provide some spiritual medicines and magic treasures!"

Chu Jun rolled his eyes and said, "Then why are you looking for me? If you want to donate money, I can provide hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals. If you want any more, there won't be any left!"

"Go, go. This City Lord does not lack those spirit crystals!"

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Cough, I want someone!"

Chu Jun's sword-like eyebrows instantly furrowed. As he had expected, Wei Jing was here to "pull the strong man!"

" Patriarch Chu , the First Prince has already ordered that all the major sects of the Daming Manor and Bian Yang Manor must send people to the Star Continent to help fight, not only your Heavenly Phoenix Sect, but the other sects as well!" Wei Jing's expression changed.

Although Chu Jun was reluctant in his heart, he did not want Wei Jing to make things difficult for him. He asked, "Tell me, how many people do you need?"

"Haha, Patriarch Chu , this City Lord is also hard to deal with. Your Sky Phoenix Sect is currently the largest sect in Secluded Sun City, so you have to set an example, right?"

Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat as he said with a smelly expression, "There's no need to put on a high hat for this sect. Just tell me how many people you want to recruit!"

"Three Nascent Souls, thirty Gold Cores, three hundred Foundation Establishment …!"

"Stop!" Chu Jun hurriedly interrupted Wei Jing and said with a dark face, "Lord City Lord, are you kidding me? Three Nascent Souls and thirty Golden Cores, why don't you let all of our Heavenly Phoenix Sect fight as cannon fodder?"

Wei Jing's expression stiffened. " Patriarch Chu , you two have two Nascent Soul stage spirit beasts and three Nascent Soul stage cultivators. It shouldn't be a problem to extract three Nascent Souls, right?"

"I can't say anything. Three Nascent Souls and thirty Gold Cores, almost half of my sect's strength has been extracted!" Chu Jun said resolutely.

Wei Jing also felt that this request was a bit excessive. He gritted his teeth and said, "Two Nascent Souls, twenty Golden Core, three hundred Foundation Establishment, and five hundred Spirit Condensation disciples or below, we can't afford to lose any more!"

"One Nascent Soul, ten Golden Core, and a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators. There can't be any more. As for disciples below the Spirit Condensation stage, I won't let them die!" Chu Jun said in a deep voice.

Wei Jing's eyelids trembled. The Heavenly Phoenix Sect had a tough backstage. Behind them was the Heavenly Policy Palace, and it was related to the Immortal Cultivator Society Duke. In addition, he had also offered the Xun Long Cauldron. Even the Continent Lord had personally inscribed a plaque for the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, and had even exempted them from the tax on Spirit Mines. The City Lord's Mansion had no choice but to deal with such an awesome sect.

"Two Nascent Souls, ten Golden Cores, and a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators! Even if you pull you out, you still have to hand it over to this City Lord. Otherwise, I won't leave!" Wei Jing blushed.

Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh and cry. This old brat actually started to play tricks!

"Alright, you can be considered ruthless. There are only two Nascent Souls, ten Golden Cores, and a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

Wei Jing's expression immediately slowed down. He stroked his long beard and said, "That's more like it. You're a smart kid!"

"Come on, if it weren't for your old brat helping me last time, I wouldn't have cared about you!" Chu Jun laughed.

Wei Jing said with a serious expression, "Then it's settled. Sigh, Lord Prefecture Master has set a quota for this City Master. He has to provide ten Nascent Souls. Right now, the most versatile Nascent Soul expert in You Ri is your Heavenly Phoenix Sect. Who am I not looking for? The Gong Clan can provide one or two Nascent Souls, but you have destroyed them!"

Chu Jun laughed and said, "Ten Nascent Souls isn't easy. Your City Lord's Mansion already has five or six Nascent Souls. With the addition of the Ice Mysterious Sect and Huanqian Sect, it's more than enough to gather ten Nascent Souls!"

Wei Jing said with a long face, "There are two of you from the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, one from the Huanqian Sect and one from the Ice Profound Sect. There are only seven from the City Lord's Mansion. There are still three left!"

"Then let's draw among the other factions. It's not like only the three of us have Nascent Soul experts!" Chu Jun said carelessly, "At most, let your son and daughter-in-law take over!"

A few months ago, Avant-garde An quickly married Zhen Yan. It turned out that he had made her pregnant, so he had no choice but to marry his son. Now, the two of them were having a big belly. Now, it was too fucking unkind to let their family of three carry their swords on the battlefield.

Wei Jing glared at Chu Jun with "bitter enmity" and finally said, "Get lost. Even if I go myself, I won't let my future grandson take risks!"

Chu Jun chuckled and said, "Don't be impulsive, it's just a joke. Zhen Yan is my younger sister, and Young Master An is my brother!"

"Two Nascent Souls, ten Golden Cores, and a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, you brat, get ready to set off at any time!" Old Wei snorted.

After sending Wei Jing away, Chu Jun couldn't help but have a headache. Ten Golden Core Realm cultivators and a hundred Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were easy to deal with, but two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were not easy to deal with. Letting Yu'er and Little Fire Phoenix go, he wasn't at ease. Let Yu'er and Xiaoxiao go, still not at ease; Let Little Fire Phoenix and Little Xiao go, and you'll be even more

Chu Jun thought about it, but he still felt that he and Zhao Yu had to personally step in. However, Zhao Yu had already been in seclusion for half a year, so he had a headache!

Star Continent City.

Inside a Heavenly Residence, Li Xiangjun was holding an urgent message from the Heavenly Phoenix Sect. She held her chin with one hand and looked out of the window with her charming eyes. Suddenly, she sighed softly and said, "Coming!"

"Sister Xiangjun, what's coming?" Xue Jian asked curiously.

"Your master is coming!" Li Xiangjun said with itching teeth.

Xue Jianran was dumbfounded, "Didn't the news say that Master is coming?"

"He promised Wei Jing to send out two Nascent Souls. Don't worry, he will definitely come by himself!"

Xue Jian couldn't help but stuck out her tongue and giggled, "Sister Xiangjun, why are you gnashing your teeth? Isn't it good for Master to come?"

"Have someone bring Yin Buyou here. This incense master has something to tell him to do!" Li Xiangjun rolled her eyes at Xue.

Xue Jian laughed and ran out!
