Chapter 2248
At this moment, a divine sense swept over from behind Xiao Hua. Once discovered, the divine sense immediately locked onto them.
"Eh?
This sword cultivator actually attacked from behind me? "
Xiao Hua was astonished and hurriedly released his Buddhist perception. When he saw clearly, a pensive expression flashed across his face.
"Quick, Xiao Hua, quickly fly to the foothills in front!" Xiao Hua heard Dui Qimeng's call. "We'll meet the enemy there!"
"Yes!" Xiao Hua replied, but he wasn't in a hurry to fly forward!
"I heard Eldest Senior Brother say that your flying speed is very fast. Why are you so slow?"
Seeing that Xiao Hua wasn't flying fast, Cui Hongshen couldn't help but feel anxious. However, before Xiao Hua could fly to the foothills, a small brown dot faintly appeared in the distant sky. When it flew into the range of everyone's divine sense, everyone's faces unconsciously relaxed!
As it turned out, it was actually a small Flowing Cloud Flying Ship!
It was precisely the Seven Skills Sect's disciples!
Since it was a Dao Sect disciple, no matter which sect he was from, the Imperial Thunder Sect disciples didn't need to be afraid!
Thus, Cui Hongshen waved his hand, and Xiao Hua and the other disciples stayed where they were. He and Zhen Minghui flew into the air to meet them!
The flying magic tool was indeed fast. In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, they arrived in front of them. When the Flowing Cloud Flying Ship stopped, a mid Foundation Establishment old man led two early Foundation Establishment middle-aged men down from the flying ship. His gaze swept across Cui Hongshen, then looked at the people hiding at the foothills. He cupped his hands and said, "This old man was wondering who it was.
So it's Fellow Daoists from the Imperial Thunder Sect. Nice to meet you! "
Although this old man came, he didn't take the initiative to announce his name. It was obvious that he disdained Cui Hongshen and Zhen Minghui's cultivation.
Cui Hongshen didn't get angry and cupped his hands in greeting. "This one is Cui Hongshen, a disciple of the Imperial Thunder Sect's Thunder Palace. I'm the captain of the Imperial Thunder Sect's first team. This is my first team's vice-captain, Zhen Minghui.
May I know what Fellow Daoists from the Seven Skills Sect are here for?? "
"Oh, the Imperial Thunder Sect's first team?" The old man's face unconsciously revealed a trace of surprise.
"Hahaha, an early Foundation Establishment disciple actually dares to lead the Imperial Thunder Sect's first team!" A dark-skinned middle-aged man didn't even try to hide his ridicule and actually shouted out.
"Now that I've received the heavy responsibility of being a teacher, I dare not refuse this heavy responsibility just because my cultivation is low. I will do my best to complete the task entrusted to me by my teacher!" Cui Hongshen replied in a manner that was neither haughty nor humble.
"Junior Brother Hou, how can you be so rude?"
The old man glanced sideways at the young cultivator and whispered, "Every sect has their own difficulties. How can the Imperial Thunder Sect compare to our Seven Skills Sect?
Without a high level cultivator, it's normal for an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to be the captain of the first squad! "
"Damn it!"
Hidden at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Hua was displeased. He could belittle Cui Hongshen at will, but Cui Hongshen was, after all, a disciple of the Imperial Thunder Sect's Myriad Thunder Valley. Xiao Hua didn't want others to look down on him. Although this middle Foundation Establishment old man didn't directly say anything about Cui Hongshen, he actually belittled the entire Imperial Thunder Sect. His tone was even more unbearable than that middle-aged cultivator's!
"Yes, I understand!"
The middle-aged cultivator hastily lowered his head and took half a step back. "I was only thinking about the Seven Possibilities Sect. I didn't think about the Imperial Thunder Sect."
"Mm!"
The old man waved his hand, then turned to Cui Hongshen and said, "I'm Han Bing from the Seven Possibilities Sect. I'm the captain of the 687nd squad of the Seven Possibilities Sect. I'm very happy to see Captain Cui. May I know why Captain Cui is here?"
Cui Hongshen's thoughts were different from Xiao Hua's. After all, the other party was a middle Foundation Establishment cultivator. He was a small realm lower than the other party, so there was nothing much to say.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled apologetically and said, "I've received orders from my master to head to Fowl Crow Mountain for some business. May I know why Captain Han is here?"
"Oh, you're going to Fowl Crow Mountain?" Han Bing was stunned, then asked, "You've been waiting for a message from Fowl Crow Mountain?"
Cui Hongshen was even more stunned, then nodded and said, "That's right. Our Imperial Thunder Sect was heading to Sky Patrol City, but we received a message halfway. That's why our master hurriedly dispatched our first squad!"
"Oh, so that's how the first squad came to be!"
Han Bing came to a realization and said with a smile, "You don't have to go to Fowl Crow Mountain. The cultivators of your Imperial Thunder Sect's first squad are too weak. They won't be of any use!
Furthermore, Fowl Crow Mountain isn't a big deal. We're heading there anyway! "
"Ah?" Cui Hongshen was stunned. He didn't expect Han Bing to say that!
"Besides, we're taking the Flowing Cloud Flying Ship, which is several times faster than you.
By the time your Imperial Thunder Sect's first squad reaches Fowl Crow Mountain, the cucumber will be cold. What are you waiting for? "
The middle-aged cultivator who had been silent all this while said with a smile. He was also belittling the Imperial Thunder Sect.
Furthermore, this cultivator looked at the Flowing Cloud Flying Ship behind him and seemed to be talking to himself, "Besides, our Seven Skills Sect's Flowing Cloud Flying Ship isn't refined well. It can only seat ten people, no more. When I return, I'll inform the sect of this shortcoming. We must improve it!"
Cui Hongshen's face turned a little pale. The Imperial Thunder Sect's Thunder Ship was famous in the Dawn Rain Continent, but the problem was that they didn't have a small Thunder Ship. Even if there was a Thunder Ship, early Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't control it.
Besides, Seven Skills Sect was a refining sect. The Imperial Thunder Sect couldn't compare!
Seeing that Cui Hongshen's expression wasn't right, Han Bing was in an extremely good mood. He cupped his hands and said, "Captain Cui, this old man will leave first!
After all, there's a reason for Fowl Crow Mountain to send a message. You'd better return home and hurry to Sky Patrol City. There are more important matters there!
Farewell! "
After saying that, he turned and flew onto the Flowing Cloud Flying Ship without waiting for Cui Hongshen's reply. The other two middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivators didn't even report their names to the Imperial Thunder Sect and left just like that!
"Captain Cui!"
After the Seven Skills Sect's Flowing Cloud Flying Ship flew away, Zhen Minghui looked hesitant. He frowned and stared at the distant horizon. The Flowing Cloud Flying Ship had already disappeared into the vast snowfield. He asked, "Are we … still going to Fowl Crow Mountain?"
"Why not?" Cui Hongshen's eyes flashed with a strange light as he asked.
"The Seven Skills Sect's disciples have a higher cultivation than us. Besides … they have flying Dharma artifacts, so they can leave quickly!
By the time we get there, the matter will be over. Why should we go? "Zhen Minghui stammered." Didn't Senior Brother Zhen Yun say that there's no big deal in Fowl Crow Mountain?
They just felt that our Imperial Thunder Sect's disciples' flying speed is fast, so they let us go … "
"Hehe, Vice-captain Zhen!"
Cui Hongshen laughed. "You're the Vice-captain of the Imperial Thunder Sect's first team and a disciple of the sect. How can a Seven Skills Sect's mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator decide where our first team goes?
Even if we're late, we'll still have to go!
Besides, isn't it better for the Seven Skills Sect's disciples to lead the way for us? "
"Yes, I understand!"
Zhen Minghui looked ashamed. It was easy for him to submit to someone with a higher cultivation to follow Han Bing's orders without hesitation. It was only when Cui Hongshen spoke that he understood. It was also at this moment that he finally called himself a subordinate for the first time.
"Then I'll lead the way!" Zhen Minghui said respectfully to Cui Hongshen and was about to fly in front like before.
However, Cui Hongshen laughed and said, "No need. Since the Seven Skills Sect's disciples are in front of us, why should we be afraid of sword cultivators?
We can just go straight ahead. "
"Yes, I understand." Zhen Minghui nodded and called out Xiao Hua and the rest. The ten of them continued forward. Of course, for safety's sake, Zhen Minghui continued to fly in front.
After flying for another ten days, a hint of green could be seen in the vast snowy plains. From time to time, some tender green could be seen in the pure white veins. It was actually some spiritual trees. There were even some sprouts that were like new shoots emerging from the snow!
"Chicken Crow Mountain is in front!"
On this day, when they flew to a glacier, Cui Hongshen pointed to a strange mountain peak in the distance and said, "We'll reach it in half a day. Let's rest for a while!"
"Yes." Zhen Minghui was the first to respond. After ten days, they had already formed a tacit understanding. Zhen Minghui stopped and used his divine sense to scan the surroundings. His gaze landed on a depression in the glacier.
He saw that the glacier was very wide. It was probably several hundred feet wide. The sparkling and translucent ice layer covered the entire glacier. Just a few li in front of them, the water flowing down the slope also froze into ice. The rhythm of the river water jumping and splashing was vividly frozen. It really had a kind of beauty that combined movement and stillness!
Even if one used the naked eye to see through the layer of ice, one could still faintly see the rapidly flowing waves. One could even hear the "hua hua" sound in one's ears. Stepping on the solid layer of ice, who would have thought that there was a roaring world below?
"Captain Cui, can you take out the cold wind? We'll go over and rest for a while. We'll take some medicinal pills and adjust our breathing for a while?" Zhen Minghui asked softly.
"Okay, please lead the way, Senior Martial Brother Minghui!"
Cui Hongshen never refuted Zhen Minghui's opinions and nodded very gently. After Dui Qimeng and the rest flew over the glacier with Su Qing, Dui Ling landed on the ice layer of the glacier. She looked down curiously at the solid ice under her feet and shouted happily, "Xiao Hua, quickly come and take a look. Have you seen such thick ice before?
There's water under the ice!
And the water flow is very rapid!!! "
During these dozens of days, Dui Ling and Xiao Hua flew at the back. Dui Ling would nag at Xiao Hua whenever she had nothing to do. He even treated Xiao Hua's entry into the Imperial Thunder Sect as if he had single-handedly arranged it. It was as if if he hadn't discovered Xiao Hua that day, Xiao Hua would have been buried.
Moreover, this was Dui Ling's first time coming to this world of ice and snow. Naturally, she was very happy and couldn't help but call out to Xiao Hua.
"Little girl!"
Xiao Hua's figure was still on the other side of the glacier. She lazily replied, "What's the difference between looking and not looking?
If you look, it's still flowing. If you don't look, it's still flowing!
What's the difference between this and the flowing water of the Imperial Thunder Sect? "
"You … why are you so boring?"
How could Dui Ling understand the profoundness in her words? She pouted, stomped her feet, and bent her body down. Her eyes were almost touching the ice layer. "Aiyo, there's a big fish inside!
And a crab?
No … this … "
As she spoke, Dui Ling actually looked a little flustered and almost screamed!
Following Dui Ling's scream, her figure immediately flew into the air, trying to escape.
Just as her figure left the ice layer, there was a loud "peng" sound. The thick layer of ice that was as solid as a boulder suddenly burst open. Large chunks of ice were overturned, and ice fragments rushed into the air. A disc-shaped figure emitting a green brilliance rushed out from the ice layer. Two balls of light whizzed towards Dui Ling's body!
"Aiyo!"
Long before Dui Ling screamed, Xiao Hua had already released her spiritual sense. She saw a crab with green light waving its large pincers rushing out from the ice layer!
Dui Ling was probably the one who cried out in surprise!
Seeing that the crab's strength was only around the Qi Refinement realm, Xiao Hua didn't care. She didn't move and only watched indifferently with her arms crossed!
