Chapter 1616
Xun Shu's eyes were filled with gratitude, but there was also a lingering fear, and a trace of … uneasiness!
Xiao Hua saw that everyone was pushing all the credit to him and throwing all the blame to Liu Weigang. He didn't even ask why Liu Weigang was so furious that he chased out of the illusory formation to kill Xun Shu. He could only rub his nose and smile apologetically, "This is what I should do. Senior Sister Xun Shu is everyone's junior sister, and also I's senior sister. If I didn't save her, I would be destroyed by the heavens and the earth!
However, this is the Feather Immortal Assembly, and there are two more rounds today, both of which are life and death matters. I's cultivation is just for show. Senior Brothers, you still have to prepare to find a good opportunity to build your foundation! "
Everyone's face turned cold when they heard Xiao Hua mention the competition. Of course, it was necessary to care for one's fellow disciples. They also had to have the opportunity to care for others. Now that every round was a life and death battle, how could they not take it seriously?
Everyone comforted him and sat cross-legged on the side. They took pills and closed their eyes to adjust their breathing.
Xiao Hua was about to leave when Xun Shu said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Xiao … Thank you again!"
"Haha, it's nothing!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "I was still thinking about the benefits senior sister gave me!"
Xun Shu knew that Xiao Hua didn't think so, so she forced a smile and nodded at him. She also took out a pill and took it. The third round of the competition was probably going to start soon.
"Senior Sister Xun …" Xiao Hua looked at Xun Shu and took half a step forward. He said in a low voice, "Senior Sister, you're seriously injured. If you can't do it, you can just forfeit the next round. Why do you have to do this …"
Xun Shu smiled bitterly, "All the disciples who come to the Feather Immortal Assembly are aiming for that moment of life and death, to be able to gain some enlightenment and find a chance to build their foundation. If they have the freedom to forfeit, who would be afraid? Who would go all out?
Who would be able to build their foundation under such pressure?
Therefore, there is only one chance to forfeit in this Feather Immortal Assembly, and that is to withdraw from the Feather Immortal Assembly. I just finished two rounds … It's really too early to withdraw now! "
Then, he looked at Xiao Hua and said, "I heard that the disciple who fought against you in the first round was lucky enough to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. I am very envious. Stepping into the Foundation Establishment Stage so smoothly without going through a test of life and death, there hasn't been a single person like that in several Feather Immortal Gatherings!"
"What!" Xiao Hua said in his heart, "If it weren't for I being kind, how could that guy build his foundation?
I'm afraid he's already cultivating in the underworld! "
However, he didn't explain. He pointed at Xun Shu's bloody clothes and said, "Then … Senior Sister, you should at least change your clothes, right?"
"O … alright!" Female cultivators had always been fond of beauty and cleanliness. How could Xunshu be an exception?
However, at this time, her qi and blood were both damaged, making it difficult for her to walk. She wanted to wait until she recovered before returning to the pavilion to change her clothes. Now that she heard Xiao Hua's words, she glanced at Li Xiaoxiao, who was circulating her internal energy, and said with a smile, "Junior Martial Brother Xiao, please help me!"
With a smile on his face, Xiao Hua confidently raised his arm and said, "Senior Sister's orders, how could I dare to disobey?"
"Pfft!" Xun Shu almost wanted to cover his mouth and laugh. "So sour!"
After saying that, Xun Shu supported Xiao Hua's arm and stood up. "Senior Sister, don't move. Little Brother will take you back!"
After saying that, Xiao Hua formed an incantation gesture with his other hand and grabbed Xun Shu's waist out of thin air. With a slight lift, Xun Shu's feet left the ground. Xiao Hua quickly brought Xun Shu back to the pavilion.
"Actually … Junior Martial Brother should regulate your breathing more. Didn't you say it yourself just now …" Xun Shu felt a bit uncomfortable and tried to find something to say. However, when she said that, she felt a bit strange. Xiao Hua's attention didn't seem to be on her. When she turned her head to look, she saw that Xiao Hua was looking into the distance with a slightly dazed expression.
"En?"
Xun Shu was surprised. When she looked up, she saw that in the distant square, there were also two people walking out. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was as handsome as jade, and the woman was as beautiful as a fairy. Xun Shu had seen these two people before. They were Yun Jiechong and Fairy Hong Xia from the Rinsing Flower Sect.
Fairy Hong Xia and Yun Jiechong had also seen Xiao Hua and Xun Shu from afar. Fairy Hong Xia first looked at Xiao Hua, then quickly swept her gaze over Xun Shu. After that, her eyes turned and looked elsewhere. Xun Shu very sensitively sensed that in Fairy Hong Xia's gaze, there was … a trace of hostility!
The moment Fairy Hong Xia's gaze flashed, Xun Shu also sensed that Xiao Hua's hand, which had been as steady as a rock, trembled slightly.
This tremble didn't matter, but it directly shook Xun Shu's heart.
"He … she …" Xun Shu inexplicably felt an indescribable feeling.
Fairy Hong Xia's gaze swept over, and Yun Jiechong's gaze naturally followed. Yun Jiechong's gaze was still warm, like the rising sun. However, he didn't come forward to greet them, but only nodded slightly. There was only warmth in his gaze, and there was only warmth. There wasn't a trace of surprise, nor was there a trace of joy …
Xun Shu didn't speak, and neither did Xiao Hua.
Fairy Hong Xia looked ahead with a cold face, and Yun Jiechong also looked ahead with a smile.
The four of them almost brushed past each other, and didn't even make eye contact.
Walking back to the pavilion, Xun Shu opened the door of the quiet room, and said in a low voice, "I have changed my clothes, and am preparing to rest in the quiet room. If Junior Brother Xiao is still thinking about the third match, you can go back first!"
Xiao Hua nodded slightly, turned around, and left.
Xun Shu held the door of the quiet room with his hand. There was a kind of desire in his heart, a desire that Xiao Hua could stay outside his quiet room. It seemed that with him around, he would only feel safe!
When Xiao Hua's figure disappeared, Xun Shu shook his head with a bitter smile, and thought to himself, "What's wrong with me?
Not to mention Fairy Hong Xia, even Xue Xue … I seem to … "
Then, Xun Shu entered the quiet room, and opened the restriction.
Xiao Hua couldn't say what he was feeling. Fairy Hong Xia's gaze kept flashing before his eyes, as if … he was an irrelevant person, a … transparent person!
"I … What's wrong with me?"
Xiao Hua scratched his head. The more he didn't think about it, and ignored Fairy Hong Xia, the more he thought about that beautiful face, and that gaze that used to be filled with concern.
There were already many disciples in the square, but the third round of matches still hadn't started. Xiao Hua looked at the disciples of the Imperial Thunder Sect, who were already sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, and thought to himself, "Perhaps it's to give the disciples a chance to rest!"
Therefore, Xiao Hua also found a place to close his eyes and cultivate. As time passed, even Xiao Hua, who didn't want to fight, started to feel anxious.
"What's wrong?" He frowned. According to the rules of the Feather Immortal Gathering, it was impossible for them to rest for such a long time!
As expected, after Xiao Hua stood up, a moment later, not far from his right, an illusory array in a grid emitted a dark red brilliance, and countless noises came from there.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Hua secretly scanned the area with his Buddhist awareness, which he didn't dare to release. In the dark red grid, in the middle of a group of disciples, two badly mutilated corpses fell to the ground.
At this moment, there were three cultivators standing in front of the corpses. One was Ren Zhu from the Taiqing Sect, another was Li Mingcheng, the leader of the Shenghua Sect, and the last one was Xie Hui, the leader of the Utopia Faction. The three of them looked serious. Ren Zhu scanned the two of them with her Spiritual Sense, and then she raised her head and asked, "Fellow cultivator Li, your disciples … have lost their vitality!
What do you think? "
Li Mingcheng nodded, but didn't answer.
"What about fellow cultivator Xie?" Ren Zhu turned her head and asked Xie Hui, "Your disciples … have also lost their vitality!"
"Alas, yes!
This kid … "Xie Hui sighed slightly," Although it's important to build their foundation, they need to be alive to do so!
The time limit of 60 minutes has passed. It's fine if they give up first. Why do they have to be so stubborn? "
"That's right. Our original intention of holding the Feather Immortal Assembly was to allow the disciples to find a trace of opportunity to build their foundation through the competition, but not to let them fight with their lives on the line!" Li Mingcheng also sighed.
The eyes of the surrounding disciples were also filled with pity, but more of it was as if they had experienced the same sorrow, as if they were in the same situation.
"Actually, sometimes … expectations are also a kind of burden, a kind of burden that can't be borne!"
Ren Zhu, who was enforcing the rules impartially, also sighed, "Sometimes, don't we put too much pressure on the disciples?"
Li Mingcheng, Xie Hui, and the rest were silent. Beside them, Gen Qing, Xiong Fei, and the rest were also deep in thought.
"But … if they don't build their foundation, how can they be considered as cultivators?
If they don't build their foundation … wouldn't the decades of hard work of cultivation be wasted? "A voice was heard. Xiao Hua looked over and saw the white-haired Li Zongbao.
"We cultivators are already nature-defying. If we don't go against the current, we will definitely be washed to the bottom of the valley.
Using our bodies to seek Dao, using our lives to question the heavens, isn't that what we pursue?
If we don't have such thoughts, what's the point of building our foundation, the Gold Core Stage, and the Nascent Soul Stage? "
Li Zongbao's voice wasn't loud, but it was powerful. Ren Zhu and the rest also realized that this was the Feather Immortal Meet. Although it was a pity that the disciples of the Utmost Happiness Faction and the Highest Glory Faction perished together, if the hundreds of disciples were discouraged and couldn't make any progress on the path of cultivation, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
The sins of the Gold Core Stage cultivators would be great!
Therefore, Ren Zhu clapped her hands and laughed, "Li Zongbao, Li Zongbao, you are indeed the most intelligent person in the Three Kingdoms of Cultivation. Only such wisdom in seeking Dao can comprehend your sect's' Parting Mirror '. After hearing what you said, I believe that in the near future, Fellow Cultivator Li will appear in the ranks of the Gold Core Stage cultivators!"
"Li Zongbao … He is Li Zongbao. It is said that he is only in his twenties, but he is already a senior in the Foundation Establishment Stage. He … is really powerful!"
"Yes, it is said that the 'Parting Mirror' is also a famous cultivation method of the Utmost Happiness Faction. It can cut off all worldly desires and achieve supreme Dao!"
"But … why did Senior Li's hair turn white so early?
It seems that … when he just came to the Bright Realm, his hair didn't turn white! "
"Of course, it is because he is cultivating the 'Parting Mirror'?
Without worldly desires, what's the use of a physical appearance?
Only with such a pure heart can one achieve Dao! "
The disciples started to discuss spiritedly, and their low spirits were stirred up again. Ren Zhu saw that the time was right and hurriedly waved her hands, "Disciples, the third round of the competition is about to begin. I hope that everyone can follow Li Zongbao's example and think more carefully and understand more. We will strive to have more Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators!"
