Chapter 2473
"This Xiao Hua … from his name, he doesn't seem to be a blood disciple of the Imperial Thunder Sect. Moreover, he was sent here at the beginning of the battle, so he doesn't seem to have any background. But he … but he actually managed to persist until now without suffering any injuries … He must have some background!
Even the reason he came to the battlefield before was to gain experience … Making friends with a disciple of the Imperial Thunder Sect with such a background will definitely benefit me endlessly in the future! "
Immediately, Xiao Hua became a person with a strong backer like Qian Di Heng in Chang Shu's eyes.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Chang?"
Seeing that Chang Shu was somewhat absent-minded, Xiao Hua asked curiously, "Does Fellow Daoist have something to tell me?"
Chang Shu hurriedly smiled apologetically, "What do I have to tell you?
I've only heard about this secret auction from others. I never thought I would be able to participate. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Xiao, I wouldn't even know where this secret auction would be held! "
"Hehe ~" Xiao Hua laughed, "Isn't it all recorded in the jade slip?
Fellow Daoist can just take a look. "
"Of course not!"
Chang Shu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The things in this jade slip can only be seen once with divine sense before automatically disappearing. I don't dare to delay Fellow Daoist Xiao's matters!"
Immediately, he said regretfully, "Unfortunately, if it weren't for the fact that this tiger tally can only be used by one cultivator and that I can't leave my post at night, I would really like to follow Fellow Daoist Xiao to broaden my horizons!"
"There will always be a chance!" Xiao Hua didn't care at all, "Besides, this secret auction won't be able to broaden my horizons!"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xiao's guidance is extremely correct!" Chang Shu confirmed that Xiao Hua had a background. He respectfully cupped his hands and hurriedly left.
Xiao Hua didn't care about the change in Chang Shu's attitude. In his opinion, all of Chang Shu's actions were normal because cultivators who could attract his attention could only be Gold Core cultivators!
In a flash, three days passed. When the time was near, Xiao Hua very casually took out the jade slip and immersed his divine sense in it. When he saw the location inside, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Then, a trace of a smile actually hung on his face!
Coming out of the Pill Refining Cave, what was rare was that the usually lively scene outside had disappeared, and it was similar to the initial loneliness. Snowflakes once again drifted down from the sky, fluttering as they hit Xiao Hua's face.
"Eh?
Where are the arrogant late stage Foundation Establishment disciples? "
Xiao Hua blinked his eyes. Naturally, it was very easy for him to think of the situation a few days ago. "Hehe, I'm afraid that he has already been sent to the frontlines!"
"Alas, they have underestimated the intensity of the battle!
Perhaps only when they return from the battlefield will they change their attitude and respect us, the surviving disciples! "
Xiao Hua sighed and flew out of the encampment.
Who would have thought that along the way, it would be so quiet that not a single disciple could be seen!
"This is bad!" Xiao Hua suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Did something happen?"
"Where did this disciple come from?
Why did he come out instead of meditating in the quiet room?
Don't tell me … you don't know the rules of the sect? "
Sure enough, just as Xiao Hua's figure appeared in the encampment, several middle stage Foundation Establishment patrolling disciples immediately flew over from the shadows and stopped him!
"Oh my, what ban?"
Xiao Hua stared blankly, then hurriedly bowed and said, "Disciple is Xiao Hua of the Imperial Thunder Sect's First Squad. I didn't receive any order!"
"Ah?
First Squad?
You are Xiao Hua? "The leading disciple was also stunned." Why are you still in the Sky Patrol City?
All the disciples of the Imperial Thunder Sect's First Squad have returned to the Sky Thunder Peak! "
"I see!"
Xiao Hua understood. He clapped his hands and handed his token to the leading disciple. Then he said with a smile, "I am indeed Xiao Hua. However, I was conscripted by Senior Brother Li Zongbao of the Utopia Faction and cannot leave the Sky Patrol City for the time being!"
"I see!"
The leading disciple took Xiao Hua's token and looked at it for a while. Then he returned it to Xiao Hua and said with a smile, "The ban of the Imperial Thunder Sect is issued by the Squad Leaders … Oh, that's not right!
This ban was issued after the assassination of Senior Tu Hongtu of the Sky Patrol City. The Squad Leader of the First Squad should have informed Junior Brother Xiao! "
Hearing the leading disciple's question, Xiao Hua smiled bitterly. Of course! At that time, Cui Hongshen was absent-minded and was thinking about his own happiness. Moreover, after Xiao Hua returned, he immediately took Cui Hongshen and Dui Qimeng to the Elixir Production Cave. After leaving the cave, they took the Thunder Boat back to the Sky Thunder Peak. Even if Cui Hongshen knew about the ban, he wouldn't have had the chance to tell Xiao Hua about it!
"Heh, heh, Squad Leader Cui has returned to the Sky Thunder Peak. How could I know why?"
Xiao Hua smiled apologetically. "However, I received a message from Senior Brother Li Zongbao, who asked me to go to a place in the Sky Patrol City. It seems that there is something urgent!
I wonder if I can go out? "
The leading disciple shook his head and said with a trace of embarrassment, "Junior Brother Xiao, although you didn't receive the ban and didn't know that you can't go out at night, it doesn't mean that you can violate the ban!
Forgive me for not letting you go out! "
"Damn it!"
Xiao Hua scratched his head. Not only could he not participate in the secret auction, but he had also paid a lot of Spirit Stones. Now, he was going to lose his chance!
What the disciple said next made him even more furious.
"Moreover, even if I let you out, the Sky Patrol City doesn't allow cultivators to go out at night. You can't go anywhere!"
"Hmph, I understand now!"
Xiao Hua finally knew the reason why he had to pay Spirit Stones for the secret auction. He even knew the reason why the secret auction was held late at night.
Xiao Hua wanted to turn back to the Pill Refining Cave, but he changed his mind and handed the token to the disciple on duty again. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother, please take a look at my token again. There is the seal of the Conference Hall's special permit, the ban of the Imperial Thunder Sect, and the ban of the Sky Patrol City … Can you do me a favor?"
"Oh?
Is that so? "
The disciple took Xiao Hua's token again embarrassedly. He looked at it carefully with his Divine Thought and smiled apologetically. "I was a little careless. I didn't see it clearly just now!
Since Junior Brother Xiao has a special permit, then the ban of the Imperial Thunder Sect can be ignored!
However, the ban of the Sky Patrol City … That's not something I can know! "
Xiao Hua took the token from the disciple and smiled. "Senior Brother, you can let me out of the Imperial Thunder Sect. If the disciples of the Sky Patrol City don't recognize me, I can only apologize to Senior Brother Li Zongbao. Who asked his special permit to be defeated by the Sky Patrol City's ban?"
"Hahaha ~" The disciple laughed. "Although this is the Sky Patrol City, the Conference Hall is the head of our sect. Which disciple of the Sky Patrol City dares not to give face to the Conference Hall?
Don't worry! "
After that, the disciple raised his hand and said, "Junior Brother Xiao, please!"
"I dare not!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands and flew out of the Imperial Thunder Sect's encampment with the other disciples.
Sure enough, the streets of the Sky Patrol City were so quiet and deserted that one could almost hear the sound of snow falling. The thick dark clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight. In Xiao Hua's eyes, there was only darkness!!!
"There's always darkness behind the sunlight. If there's no darkness, how can one understand the preciousness of the sunlight?" Xiao Hua sighed and flew slowly into the distance!
"Hmph, this Immortal Xue Yu is really good at scheming. If I didn't have the special permit of the Conference Hall, I'm afraid I would have to use the Devil Realm's concealment technique in order to participate in this secret auction. If he had any secret technique, wouldn't I have fallen into his trap?"
Xiao Hua snorted and thought to himself. He was not sure whether the special permit of the Conference Hall could defeat the ban of the Sky Patrol City. However, after listening to the disciples of the Imperial Thunder Sect, he was confident.
Just as he thought, Xiao Hua was stopped by the patrolling disciples of the Sky Patrol City. Of course, with the seal of the Conference Hall's special permission, coupled with Xiao Hua's pretense, it was not difficult. Xiao Hua arrived at the location of the secret auction.
When he saw the teahouse where he met Zi Ye that day, Xiao Hua smiled bitterly. If it were not for the instructions in the jade slip, he would not have known that this seemingly ordinary teahouse was actually the location of the Sky Patrol City's secret auction!
The door of the teahouse was closed. It was not as bright as it used to be. Xiao Hua walked up a few steps, stretched out his hand, and gently knocked on the wooden door.
After nine knocks with different rhythms, a hoarse voice came from behind the wooden door, "Who's visiting?
What's the matter? "
Xiao Hua laughed in his heart, "I've already knocked on the door, why are you still pretending?"
However, he still followed the instructions in the jade slip, "I have obtained a strange copper talisman. I'd like to invite Shopkeeper Lian to appraise it!"
"Oh, I see!"
As the voice sounded, a small square hole was pulled open on the wooden door, revealing a big fat face. The small eyes on the big face were squeezed to the size of mung beans, staring at Xiao Hua from top to bottom. However, Xiao Hua was wearing a camouflage robe at this time, so what could he see?
Xiao Hua clapped his hands and handed over the bronze tiger tally. A big, chubby hand took it and closed the small hole. Unexpectedly, after the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, a creaking sound was heard. The wooden door opened a crack, and a hoarse voice rang out: "Fellow Daoist, please come in!"
"Thank you!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands and stepped inside.
The layout of the teahouse was no different from how it was during the day. Every table was wiped clean, but there was less noise!
"Why did Fellow Daoist come so late?" The tall and fat Foundation Establishment cultivator closed the door and asked strangely.
"Huh?
This old man came late? "Xiao Hua was a little surprised." Didn't the jade slip say that it started late at night? "
"Hehe ~" That cultivator once again used his divine sense to scan Xiao Hua with a trace of respect on his face. "This poor Daoist is truly impressed that Fellow Daoist can come here in the middle of the night under the city's curfew!"
"Oh?
Could it be that this old man is the only one who came at this time? "Xiao Hua suddenly realized.
"Hehe, you're not the only one, but you can be counted on one hand!" The cultivator said as he led the way.
