Chapter 1376
Admittedly, the seven colors of the Rainbow Epiphyllum were only a hundred feet away, but that angry shout seemed to be far more than a hundred feet under the faint clouds.
However, that cultivator's magic power followed that angry shout. As soon as Xiao Hua came into contact with it, he immediately knew that this so-called senior martial brother of the Blazing Flame School's fourth layer Aura Refining cultivator absolutely wasn't a fifth or sixth layer Aura Refining cultivator like he previously guessed, but a full eighth layer Aura Refining cultivator.
Because of this, Xiao Hua didn't even think about it and promptly made a decision to flee in another direction. As for Li Xiaowen and Xun Feiyan, was there even a need to say anything?
They simply sensed it earlier than Xiao Hua did. They separately fled in two different directions as if their lives depended on it.
Just as Xiao Hua and Xue Feiyan flew away, a lean cultivator holding a fiery-red jade pendant in his left hand flew out from under the clouds with a face full of anger. That cultivator swept his eyes over him and called out, "Xue Hong …"
Then, the fingers of his right hand moved. Just as he was about to form an incantation gesture, he caught sight of Xiao Hua's figure flying into the distance. He couldn't help but stare blankly. He inwardly said, "This … Could it be that he's a peak stage Aura Refining cultivator?"
"But … that can't be right. If he's at the peak stage of Aura Refining … Wouldn't this Rainbow Epiphyllum be precisely what he wanted?
Why … would he leave?
If he stayed, wouldn't we … die without a burial ground? "
It was also during this moment of hesitation that Xiao Hua gradually disappeared. When he looked in two other directions, Li Xiaowen and Xun Feiyan had also flown very far away. That cultivator flashed to the side, wanting to chase after them, but Xue Hong's face had already returned to its original deathly pale color. Traces of bright red remained on his face from the forceful use of magic power just now. Although he had already taken the opportunity to take a medicinal pill and no more blood flowed out from the wound on his waist, looking at his appearance … he was somewhat weak!
"Sigh ~" That cultivator clenched his teeth and stomped his feet a few times in the air. He flew in front of Xue Hong and grabbed him, berating, "You're so fierce. Didn't you have a Summoning Talisman in your hand?
Wouldn't we have known if you'd sent one?
Why did you have to forcefully activate the Fire Spirit Talisman?
Why did you suffer such heavy injuries?
With your cultivation, you can use it to defend yourself, but if you want to attack, you'll be lucky if you don't lose half of your life! "
"Senior-apprentice Brother Lin, I'm useless … I can't cultivate in the sect, and I've already become a hindrance by following my Senior Apprentice Brothers on this trip. If I send out a Message Talisman as soon as we meet an enemy, it'll be a disgrace to the name of our sect, but if it's a serious matter, won't it delay Senior-apprentice Brother from luring away the Water Pattern Butterfly and harvesting the Rainbow Cloud?" Xue Hong bit his lip and argued.
"You …" Senior Martial Brother Lin glared at Xue Hong with a look of exasperation. "You're so stubborn. If you don't change your personality, you'll still be a low-level Qi Refining cultivator even if you train for another hundred years!"
"Little Brother understands. Little Brother will pay attention in the future!" Although Xue Hong said so, he didn't look like someone who had admitted defeat for half a year.
"Sigh, forget it!"
Senior Brother Lin pulled Xue Hong and flew down. After thinking for a moment, he stopped and pointed in the direction Li Xiaowen and the others had fled. "These people … which sect are they from?"
"This … I don't know!"
Xue Hong thought for a moment and said with a bit of confusion, "These three people didn't wear the same Daoist robes, so I can't tell which sect they're from!
However, I know their names! "
"What?
You know them? "Senior Martial Brother Lin stared blankly and asked in surprise.
"Hehe, not at all …" Xue Hong told him what had happened just now. Senior Martial Brother Lin was all smiles at first, then he blurted out, "Is there even a need to say it?
These people are all loose cultivators!
Only these loose cultivators who don't belong to any sects would fight like dogs biting dogs, without any order to speak of! "
But when he heard Xiao Hua's strange actions, he was somewhat aghast. He pointed in the direction Xiao Hua had flown and said, "But … but is he flying at the same speed as a peak Qi Refining cultivator?"
"I didn't see how fast that person was flying, but he was flying in that direction!"
Xue Hong nodded and said, "At that time, that cultivator was only watching from the side and didn't make a move. If he had made a move, let alone a peak Qi Refining cultivator, even a first or second layer Qi Refining cultivator would only need to throw an Ice Thorn Talisman at me and I'd be dead!"
"That's a bit strange!"
Senior Martial Brother Lin muttered, "Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua, I've never heard of a peak Qi Refining loose cultivator called Xiao Hua!
And … even if he was a loose cultivator, how could a peak Qi Refining cultivator like him mingle with these filthy fourth layer Qi Refining cultivators? "
"Li Xiaowen … Xun Feiyan … Who are these people?
They actually dared to attack a disciple of my Blazing Flame Sect. When I return to the sect, I'll definitely report this to the sect master. We can't let this matter go! "Senior Martial Brother Lin said fiercely.
"Senior Martial Brother Lin, did you get the Rainbow Cloud?"
Xue Hong nodded silently. Seeing that there was no longer any seven-colored brilliance in front of them, he knew that Senior Martial Brother Lin had succeeded.
"That's right. Blazing Flame Sect's Lin Xiaonan, Yun Fei … Oh, and Xue Hong, the three great disciples took action. How could the Rainbow Cloud have flown away?" Lin Xiaonan said proudly.
"It's all thanks to the two of you, Senior Martial Brothers. I was just helping out!" Xue Hong said with a slightly red face.
"Of course not. If it weren't for you holding back those three loose cultivators, Junior Martial Brother Yun and I would've rushed back … I'm afraid the others would've already succeeded."
Lin Xiaonan sneered. "That loose cultivator who flew down alone was only at the fourth layer of Qi Refining. He couldn't even block Junior Martial Brother Yun's Body Shattering Bone Incantation, and he actually dared to dream of taking the Rainbow Cloud away?"
Just as they were talking, another figure flashed out from the clouds. It was a middle-aged man with a medium build and a yellowish complexion. It was none other than Blazing Flame Sect's other disciple, Yun Fei. Yun Fei held a storage pouch in one hand and a leaf-shaped yellow talisman in the other. He was smiling, but when he saw Xue Hong's injuries, he was shocked. He handed the storage pouch to Lin Xiaonan and asked, "Senior Martial Brother Lin … what happened to Junior Martial Brother Xue?"
Lin Xiaonan took the storage pouch, opened it to take a look, and explained the situation: "This foolish brother thinks these people are loose cultivators. That cultivator called Xiao Hua … is someone we can't afford to offend. We'd better go back and ask the sect to make a decision!"
Xue Hong opened his mouth, wanting to say, "That Xiao Hua … his cultivation level seems to be only at the second layer of Qi Refining …" But then he thought about the urgency of the situation and was afraid he might've been mistaken, so he didn't say anything.
"Mm, that's the only way!"
Yun Fei nodded. He looked at Xue Hong and said, "Junior Martial Brother Xue, you've done a great service this time. When we return to the sect, I'm afraid you'll be handsomely rewarded. I hope junior martial brother Xue can seize this opportunity …"
"It's all thanks to you two senior martial brothers," Xue Hong hurriedly said, clasping his hands. "I understand!"
"Haha, it's all thanks to you!" Yun Fei laughed. "Looking at your injuries, you didn't tarnish the reputation of our Blazing Flame Sect. The headmaster is very happy to hear that!"
Immediately, the three of them flew straight to the west …
As for Xiao Hua, he was as anxious as a bird startled by the twang of a bow. He was very clear in his heart that he didn't attack, but … how could an expert at the eighth layer of Qi Refining allow him to say anything?
Maybe he'd use some trick he didn't understand, and he'd lose his life on the spot. Wouldn't that be an injustice?
After flying for a while, Xiao Hua saw that the cultivator didn't chase after him. He slowed down and slowly flew forward. In his heart … he unexpectedly felt a faint disappointment. It was as if … he really hoped that the cultivator would chase after him, so he could try and kill an eighth layer cultivator on the spot!
"Pei, what am I thinking? He's at the eighth layer of Qi Refining! His cultivation level is higher than mine by more than a level. I can't be careless. If I get cocky just because I was able to kill two sixth layer cultivators, I'll die at the hands of others sooner or later!" Xiao Hua secretly warned himself.
"Ai, I don't know how Li Xiaowen and Xun Feiyan are doing. That cultivator didn't chase after me, so I'm afraid he'll chase after those two. Those two's flying speed is average, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape!"
Xiao Hua was somewhat disheartened. He wanted to take out a Sound-Transmitting Talisman and try, but when he thought about the two's behavior just now, he really didn't want to be reduced to jackals of the same lair as them. "Heaven's Forsaken … it's just like that. It's just a plate of loose sand, only using a cultivation method to gather loose cultivators together!
Without this … just the grudges between loose cultivators within Heaven's Forsaken would be enough to destroy Heaven's Forsaken! "
"If this problem isn't solved, Heaven's Forsaken will forever be … nothing!"
Xiao Hua saw that the mist in this Cloudlight Marsh was faintly discernible. Apart from the faint stench, it really did look like a fairyland. He unconsciously flew slowly and carefully pondered. "Perhaps Senior Qing is using this method … to eliminate the dregs of Heaven's Forsaken?"
"What's the use of the Revolving Illumination Pill in the end?
Fan Daomao didn't explain it clearly, and I've never heard of it in Jingbo City's marketplace. Presumably, it's not an ordinary medicinal pill. Moreover, seeing that Blazing Flame Sect's disciple would rather die to protect it, I'm afraid that this Revolving Illumination Pill is extremely important. "
"It's comparable to the Building Foundation Pill. Hehe, I'm afraid it's also something that can increase cultivation!
Eh?
No, that's not right. Fan Daomao said that it's related to divine sense, it's for people at the peak of the Aura Refining realm … "
Xiao Hua was frowning as he thought, when his heart suddenly tightened. He vigilantly looked to his left. That side was also filled with mist, and there was also a faint shadow flying to the side!
Xiao Hua was greatly alarmed. He thought that it was Blazing Flame Sect's Lin Xiaonan chasing after him. Without thinking, he held his breath, found a place with dense mist, and plunged in.
Fortunately, when he landed, he could clearly see that this was an extremely hidden area. There was an enormous boulder lying horizontally in the middle of the marsh, and Xiao Hua was right on the side of that boulder.
However, when Xiao Hua landed on the ground, the toads that were previously squatting on the boulder were all scared away. They croaked and jumped into the swamp.
"This is bad!"
As soon as he heard this voice, Xiao Hua knew that there was a problem. By the time he wanted to run, it was already too late. He heard someone shout from above him, "Who is it!"
Immediately, a bright light shined from above his head.
"Bright Light Technique!"
Xiao Hua knew from the Feng Clan's book of basic spells that this was a spell used for illumination. "What should I do?"
Although this voice was different from Lin Xiaonan's, Xiao Hua couldn't see the other side's appearance. He didn't know the other side's cultivation, so he was still somewhat nervous.
"Oh, that's right, how could I forget this?" At this critical moment, Xiao Hua suddenly remembered …
