Chapter 2397

Xiao Hua scratched his head and smiled apologetically. "I also don't understand this matter. What terrifying phoenix, I've never heard of it!

Who knows what kind of madness these sword cultivators have? "

"Hehe, maybe." Li Zongbao declined to comment. In fact, he was also muttering in his heart. To be able to scare away hundreds of sword cultivators, he was afraid it was a late stage Golden Core cultivator, or even a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although Xiao Hua's cultivation was powerful, he was still far from being able to scare away sword cultivators!

"We'll leave first!"

Li Zongbao shouted and flew away first. The other cultivators didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly followed, flying towards Li Zongbao and Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua was naturally with Li Zongbao. Beside them were a dozen disciples of the Utopia Faction. The rest of the cultivators kept a distance from them. They were especially respectful and curious as they looked at this young cultivator.

To be able to scare away so many sword cultivators, this kind of cultivator … how come they've never heard of him?

"Terrifying phoenix?

Is it this young Foundation Establishment cultivator? "

Of course, there were already some cultivators who started to follow Xiao Hua's train of thought, thinking that the swordsman must've made a mistake!

After flying for more than half a day, they arrived near an icy lake. The mountain range here was somewhat continuous. It seemed that they could hide. Some of the cultivators took out the items used to set up the array. Once the array was set up, they hid within it. With a flash of light, all of them disappeared.

"Phew." Apart from Xiao Hua, everyone let out a sigh of relief. They sat down cross-legged and took medicinal pills to regulate their breathing, striving to recover as soon as possible.

Although Xiao Hua didn't need to regulate his breathing, he still took medicinal pills and pretended to regulate his breathing.

After waiting for half a day, everyone's injuries were slightly healed, and people started to come over to strike up a conversation. Some exchanged greetings with Li Zongbao, some thanked Xiao Hua, and beat around the bush to inquire about Xiao Hua's origins!

Xiao Hua smiled at first, but when he heard his name being asked, he couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased. He didn't dislike others asking his name, but when he thought about how he couldn't escape at will because of some reputation and couldn't act shamelessly, Xiao Hua didn't want to tell others his name.

"Hehe." Li Zongbao seemed to see Xiao Hua's impatience. He waved his hand and said, "Fellow cultivators, my junior brother is somewhat tired, let's not disturb him.

That's right, how did you get ambushed by sword cultivators? "

"Senior Brother Li, speaking of this matter, we still need Junior Brother Pan Hao from Xunyan School to explain!"

That disciple hastily went to look for Pan Hao. Not long after, Pan Hao, who had lost an arm, hastily came over to greet Li Zongbao and Xiao Hua.

"Eh?

Junior Apprentice Brother Pan is also a Xunyan School disciple that participated in the great battle? "Seeing Pan Hao's Daoist robe, Li Zongbao asked curiously," You … how did you encounter a sword cultivator here?

Is it the Conference Hall's plan or the Xunyan Cult's plan? "

"This …" Pan Hao only hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth. In any case, he still had a Golden Core cultivator above him, so he wasn't afraid of anything!

"Oh, I see!"

Li Zongbao nodded to himself. He finally understood that the information he had obtained in the Sky Patrol City was planned by the Golden Core cultivator of Xunyan School and not by Qin Jian.

"It's just that this matter is really out of my control. Not only did sword cultivators set up an ambush, but … there were also two Golden Core cultivators. Junior Apprentice Brother Pang led them to the vicinity of the spirit stone vein in the Gale Snowfield. I'm afraid that he wanted to join forces with Junior Apprentice Brother Ji Mingkun who was guarding the spirit stone vein to resist the enemy together?"

"Yes, Junior Apprentice Brother Pang could only do so!" Li Zongbao nodded slightly and sighed. This was what it meant to go for wool and come home shorn!

"I'm afraid … it's not that simple!"

Xiao Hua naturally knew that sword cultivators had as many as four illusory swords and three Golden Core cultivators. It was definitely not just one as Pan Hao said!

"I have a good friend in Xunyan School named Zhuo Qingyuan. I wonder how he is now?" Xiao Hua opened his eyes and asked.

"Oh, so you and Junior Apprentice Brother Zhuo are very close!"

Pan Hao saw Xiao Hua ask a rare question and hurriedly smiled apologetically. "Junior Apprentice Brother Zhuo's cultivation has always been stagnant in the Qi Refinement realm. Of course, he was sent out during the war. Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield in the first battle. Even his corpse was not found!"

"Oh ~" Xiao Hua sighed. For no reason, he felt a burst of sadness in his heart. He recalled the first time he saw Zhuo Qingyuan outside Jingbo City!

At that time, he was only at the second layer of the Qi Refinement realm, while Zhuo Qingyuan was already at the eleventh layer of the Qi Refinement realm. Even Xiao Mao was already at the fourth layer of the Qi Refinement realm!

The second time he saw Zhuo Qingyuan was with Cai Zhuoxia. Moreover, because he received information about the Fire Essence Flame Crystal, he began his miraculous journey of using the Fire Essence Flame Crystal to refine his body. The third time he saw Zhuo Qingyuan was at the Taiqing Sect's Feather Immortal Assembly. At that time, Xiao Hua was already at the beginning of the twelfth layer of the Qi Refinement realm. Zhuo Qingyuan was only at the peak of the twelfth layer of the Qi Refinement realm and had yet to build his foundation!

After that, there was no more news about him. Until today, when he asked for information about his old friend, he had already turned into ashes!

"This is very common in the Dawn Rain Continent!

We're still at the Foundation Building realm. When we reach the Gold Core realm and the Nascent Soul realm, we can go into seclusion for dozens of years or even hundreds of years. Those Qi Refinement and Foundation Building juniors, because their lifespans have come to an end, even without this sword battle, they … can only see you go into seclusion. They can't see you come out! "Li Zongbao looked at Xiao Hua's rueful expression and said in a low voice.

"Many thanks for Brother Li's guidance!"

Xiao Hua took a deep breath and laughed inwardly. He often referred to himself as young master, but after careful calculation, he was probably dozens of years old now!

"Fortunately, young master … has a face that doesn't age. Young master also has the qualifications to call himself young master!"

Xiao Hua encouraged himself and then asked casually, "Zhuo Qingyuan has a junior martial brother named Xiao Mao. I wonder if he's doing well in Xunyan School?"

In Xiao Hua's mind, Xiao Mao had the Dragonization Art, so building his foundation wouldn't be a problem. He wouldn't be sent out to Xunyan School.

Unexpectedly, a trace of astonishment appeared on Pan Hao's face. He asked curiously, "That Xiao Mao … isn't Zhuo Qingyuan's junior martial brother? Could it be that he's old friends with Fellow Daoist?"

"Hehe, when I saw Xiao Mao, he was with Zhuo Qingyuan. I naturally thought that he was Zhuo Qingyuan's junior martial brother!

What's his cultivation level now? "Xiao Hua said with a chuckle.

"Oh, I'll let Fellow Daoist know!" Pan Hao didn't dare to hide and said, "Junior Martial Brother Xiao also went into battle with us!

He was injured when he first participated in the battle, but after he recovered, his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds. In just a few years, he charged into the middle stage of Foundation Building!

Right now, he's with me! "

"Eh?

Since his cultivation level broke through, why didn't he withdraw from the battle? "Xiao Hua asked curiously.

"Fellow Daoist doesn't know!"

Pan Hao smiled apologetically. "Xiao Mao's master is the famous Gold Core cultivator of my Xunyan School, Senior Yuan Zhiming. He advocated … tempering one's cultivation during the battle. Therefore, although Junior Martial Brother Xiao broke through to the middle stage of Foundation Building, he's still tempering himself during the battle!"

"So that's how it is!"

Xiao Hua nodded. However, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart. He suddenly asked, "What did you say just now?

Xiao Mao is with you?

Then he's … "
