"Do you have some shady dealings with sword cultivators?
Do you want to come to my Conference Hall to get some credit?
Then tell sword cultivators the secrets of my Conference Hall? "Li Chengxu tempted." You only need to tell us and we can let bygones be bygones! "
"Hahaha ~" Tu Hong laughed. He originally did not want to respond, but seeing Li Chengxu being so "ignorant" and misrepresenting a deer as a horse, he could not help but point at him. "Fellow Daoist Li, you … you really know how to joke!
Even if sword cultivators want to find someone to collude with, they don't need to find an early Foundation Establishment disciple. What late Foundation Establishment disciple? What Golden Core disciple? Which one doesn't know more secrets than an early Foundation Establishment disciple? "
"Do I need others to tell me what to do?" Li Chengxu said coldly.
Tu Hong smiled bitterly. "Fellow Daoist Li, you should also think about it. How could an early Foundation Establishment disciple do so many things?
If not for that Illusory Sword Swordsman's intentional actions, would he really be able to save hundreds of disciples? "
"Yes, that's what I thought, that's why … Aiyo, Fellow Daoist Tu means …" Li Chengxu suddenly understood.
At this time, the majority of the Golden Core cultivators also came to a realization. Only a few people were still somewhat baffled.
"Ai, when did sword cultivators learn to be so cunning!"
Gao Wei sighed, "They had Xiao Hua rescue my Xunyan School's disciples because they wanted to let my Xunyan School's disciples know that the strength of sword cultivators in the spirit stone mine is weak, and Gao Chengyuan and the others have really fallen into their trap!
Even if Xiao Hua did not go, they would still think of a way to let these disciples escape! "
"Aiyo, that's right!"
Xiao Hua also shouted. "I was wondering how it was so easy to save them. It turns out … this junior was bait!"
"Haha ~" Gao Wei bitterly smiled, "Martial niece Xiao, don't think too much. Your contribution is obvious. You being able to enter the spirit stone mine alone is enough to show your courage and insight, as well as your intention to save my Xunyan School's disciples. This kind of intention and courage is exactly what my Dao Sect's disciples need.
Just based on this, the Conference Hall's reward is necessary. Otherwise, this old man will definitely not agree! "
Hearing this, Li Chengxu also smiled bitterly and nodded slightly as an agreement. He then looked at Li Zongbao and asked, "Martial Nephew Li, tell us about the ambush!"
"Alright!"
Li Zongbao roughly explained what had happened, including Xiao Hua's contribution. However, just as Xiao Hua had requested, it wasn't too dazzling.
"Well, anyway!
The ambush here was a mistake. We fell into a sword cultivator's trap, and in order to save Xiao Mao, Junior Brother Xiao went to the spirit stone mine in the Gale Snowfield … "Li Zongbao said calmly.
However, Li Chengxu felt somewhat unnatural in his heart. He did not expect that not only did Xiao Hua not die at Mount Quanjin, he had even obtained so much merit. He could not help but feel slightly annoyed. Hearing Li Zongbao mention Xiao Hua again, he waved his hand and said indifferently: "I have already heard about the following matters. Is this the important matter that Martial Nephew wants to talk about?"
"These are not important matters!" Li Zongbao replied calmly. "Junior Brother Xiao has something extremely important to report to the Conference Hall."
"Oh?" Li Chengxu raised his eyebrows and nodded. "Martial Nephew Xiao, please speak!"
"Yes," Xiao Hua respectfully bowed and said, "That day, junior did not see any traces of Xiao Mao in the spirit stone mine of Xunyan School. I only heard that he was captured by the sword cultivators of the Illusory Sword Sect, so I left the spirit stone mine. Just as I was about to search for Senior Brother Li Zongbao, I met a Dao Sect disciple who was about to die at the foot of the mountain. That disciple did not say which sect he was from. Junior wanted to save him, but the sword wound he received was deep in his heart and could not be healed with medicine. However, before he died, he told junior that he saw two Jindan Swordsmen bringing a few cultivators and flying towards the Yin Yang Twin Spring Mountain!"
"Stop ~" Li Chengxu waved his hand and said, "Xiao Hua, what did that cultivator look like?
Was there a token in his storage bag?
Where is his corpse?
How can you prove that you have seen this cultivator? "
"This …" Xiao Hua smiled bitterly. "Junior did not think that much. That cultivator did not seem to have a storage bag on him. Moreover, his last wish was for junior to bury his corpse so that it would not be eaten by wild beasts.
As for his appearance … "
After Xiao Hua casually said a few words, Li Chengxu shook his head slightly. "Xiao Hua, this old man feels more and more that you are lying!"
Xiao Hua was surprised, but he did not say anything to Li Chengxu. He raised his head again and said to Qian Mo, "Martial Uncle Qian, what junior said is the truth!
Junior does not know why Martial Uncle Li feels that junior is lying?
Actually, junior wanted to report this matter to you alone. After all, this matter involves the cause of death of several seniors from Converging Thunder Palace … "
Even though Qian Mo wasn't seated at a high spot, his position was similar to Li Chengxu's. Xiao Hua wasn't speaking to Li Chengxu, but to Qian Mo instead. Qian Mo was a little absent-minded. When he heard Xiao Hua mention the Imperial Thunder Sect, he couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.
"What?
Converging Thunder Palace's Golden Core cultivators? "
Qian Mo did not dare to not answer. He turned his head and said to Li Chengxu, "Fellow Daoist Li, not only do you feel that this is inappropriate, even this old man feels that it is inappropriate. Fellow Daoist did not let Xiao Hua explain the whole story clearly, but instead pursued the details. What is the meaning of this?
My Imperial Thunder Sect will express serious negotiations and strong dissatisfaction to the Conference Hall! "
"Alas," Li Chengxu sighed and said earnestly, "Everyone feels that this old man is making things difficult for Xiao Hua. However, how can you not understand this old man's painstaking efforts?
Xiao Hua is still young and only wants to perform meritorious deeds on the battlefield. However, sometimes, good intentions can lead to bad things!
Wasn't this the case with the Xunyan School's spirit stone mine?
Although he felt that rescuing the Xunyan School's disciples was a great merit, he fell into the sword cultivator's scheme instead!
Tell me, if this old man did not ask in detail, would we have found out? "
All of a sudden, Li Chengxu took Tu Hong's perception into his own interrogation. It seemed that his interrogation had made him realize that something was wrong.
"En ~" Qian Mo's eyes turned slightly and looked at Tu Hong. He had a noncommittal appearance, as if the "serious negotiations and strong dissatisfaction" from a moment ago had already gone with the wind!
"Of course, since this matter involves the Imperial Thunder Sect's Golden Core cultivators, this old man will temporarily put this matter aside. When the important matter is finished, this old man will interrogate you again!"
Li Chengxu said with a smile. He then turned to Xiao Hua and said, "Martial Nephew Xiao, you and I are old acquaintances. This old man's interrogation is also good for you. You must have heard what I said just now. This old man definitely has no intention of making things difficult for you!
Besides, why would this old man make things difficult for you?
There is simply no reason for this! "
As he said this, Li Chengxu's gaze faintly swept over the Ardent Fire Mountain's Huo Ping, who did not interrupt at all. However, he saw that Huo Ping only had a curious expression, listening to the story with her ears perked up!
"Damn it, this guy's skin is really thick!"
Xiao Hua thought helplessly. However, he still respectfully said, "This junior naturally understands the heart of senior's fists. This junior is ignorant and inexperienced, and his knowledge is shallow. I still have to ask senior to correct me!"
The wording of Xiao Hua's words was wrong, and the way he used it was also inappropriate. Clearly, Xiao Hua was expressing his helplessness.
"En." Li Chengxu did not care about this. He smiled amiably and said, "It's good that you understand. Continue speaking!"
Xiao Hua thought that he would encounter Li Chengxu's censure when he reported in the Discussion Hall. He also thought about how to deal with it. However, he did not expect that today was Li Chengxu's turn to be on duty. At this time, he could only brace himself and speak of the previously well-worded plot!
As usual, he pretended to be confused. When Xiao Hua spoke of how he had occasionally encountered a spirit stone vein that had already been abandoned by sword cultivators, Li Chengxu smiled almost mockingly and said, "Martial Nephew Xiao, your luck … this old man has no choice but to admire it!
You can encounter spirit stone veins wherever you go! "
However, Xiao Hua did not seem to care about Li Chengxu's mockery. He said very sincerely, "Yes, Martial Uncle Li is right!
This disciple is also not clear about it. Moreover, these spirit stone veins were all abandoned. This disciple did not obtain any benefits at all. Instead, this disciple almost lost his life! "
"Don't say anything else. Hurry up and speak clearly!" Qian Mo said impatiently.
"Yes ~ this disciple met Martial Uncle Dui of Dui Lei Palace, Dui Miaoqing!"
Xiao Hua said unhurriedly, "However, at that time, she was already on the verge of death …"
"See, what did this old man say? Another person on the verge of death!
This clearly shows that the dead tell no tales! "Li Chengxu shook his head again.
However, Xiao Hua stopped, as if waiting for Li Chengxu's instructions.
"Hurry up and speak …" Qian Mo urged again, "What did Martial Sister Dui discover?"
"Martial Uncle Dui's consciousness was already muddled …" Xiao Hua said with a melancholy face, "She did not recognize this disciple. She could not even see this disciple's Daoist robe clearly. Naturally, she could not give me any instructions.
Coincidentally, this disciple suddenly thought of the dozen or so Imperial Thunder Sect disciples that had been killed by sword cultivators on the way to the Gale Snowfield … "
"Oh?
You met my Imperial Thunder Sect disciples before entering the Gale Snowfield? "Qian Mo was shocked," Why didn't you say so earlier? "
Li Zongbao looked at Qian Mo and did not reply. In his mind, killing the beast cultivators was Xiao Hua's great merit. He did not want to snatch the credit, so he left Xiao Hua to report. However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the conference hall was somewhat strange.
"It was not my Imperial Thunder Sect disciples. It was the beast cultivators that killed my Imperial Thunder Sect disciples!" Xiao Hua's heart thumped. He felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, he had no choice but to say it.
"Strange!"
Sure enough, Li Chengxu smiled brightly, "Since those beast cultivators could kill the dozen or so Imperial Thunder Sect disciples, those dozen or so Imperial Thunder Sect disciples couldn't all be Qi Refining disciples, right?
The three of you … how could you be a match for those beast cultivators? "
"That's right!" Qian Mo did not know whether he was confused or wanted to clarify the details, but he actually asked again.
"Ai, this disciple is also ashamed."
Xiao Hua was embarrassed. He pointed at Li Zongbao and said, "Those beast cultivators were mostly killed by Martial Brother Li!
This disciple only delayed two beast cultivators! "
