"What?
Isn't Jiang Fan at Yellow Flower Ridge? "
Seeing Cao Ming's expression change, Xiao Hua naturally frowned and said unhappily, "He left a message before, asking I and the others to come and find him. Is he at Medicine Farmer Peak?"
Cao Ming looked at the ill-looking Xiao Hua, then looked at Zhang Qingxiao, whose face was as calm as water. He even looked at the nearby disciples whose eyes were flickering. He slightly bit his lips, bowed and said, "I wonder when Senior Xiao saw Vice Sect Master Jiang's message?"
"This …" Xiao Hua raised his head and thought for a moment, then smiled, "Last year?
Or the year before last?
This Xiao doesn't remember clearly! "
"So it's like that!"
Hearing Xiao Hua's words, Cao Ming had a rough idea of what was going on. Smiling apologetically, he said, "Seniors, I'll let you know. About eight or nine years ago, our Hundred Herbs Gate suddenly experienced some unforeseen events. Gate Master Jiang and his family all fell seriously ill. Of the entire Gate, only the Young Gate Master's wife survived. However, the Young Gate Master's wife was also ill. The original Hundred Herbs Gate disciples took the opportunity to loot Hundred Herbs Gate's foundation and scattered.
Today's Hundred Herbs Gate is being rebuilt by Sect Leader Xiao on the abandoned foundation of Hundred Herbs Gate. "
"Oh?
There's such a thing?? "
Xiao Hua was shocked, "When this Xiao and Jiang Fan parted, it seemed … he was about to enter Foundation Establishment. We cultivators … how could there be any serious illness?"
Cao Ming smiled bitterly, "The specific situation … this Junior doesn't know!
This Junior only entered Hundred Herbs Gate six years ago! "
"What about the previous Hundred Herbs Gate disciples?
None left? "Xiao Hua said in astonishment.
"Yes, Sect Leader Jiang died, and only Sect Leader Xiao and Young Sect Leader were left. It's already good that those Hundred Herbs Gate disciples didn't take the opportunity to seize my Hundred Herbs Gate's foundation!"
Cao Ming sighed with emotion, "Under Sect Leader Xiao's planning, today's Hundred Herbs Gate is becoming more and more prosperous, far from what it used to be …"
As he spoke, Cao Ming stole a glance at Xiao Hua's expression.
"Hmph, this Xiao has seen Jiang Fan's dual cultivation partner. She seems to have the same surname as this Xiao!"
Xiao Hua coldly snorted and said, "However, from what I've seen, this female cultivator's character is irresolute and indecisive, far inferior to Jiang Yan. How could she possibly manage a cultivation sect to be so prosperous?
What's more, Jiang Jiantong and the others died of illness. Didn't any other cultivators who were on good terms with them ask about it? "
"Senior Xiao!"
When Cao Ming heard this, although his face was filled with respect, his tone was somewhat indifferent. "What Senior said is all Senior's conjecture and cannot be taken seriously!
There are quite a few cultivators who are acquainted with Senior Jiang, the former Sect Master of Hundred Herbs Gate. Even the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley once sent their disciples over. After all, Senior Yue Cong of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley was Senior Jiang An's dual cultivation partner. However, several years have passed and the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley has not raised any objections.
If Senior wants to go to Yellow Flower Ridge to pay a visit to my Clan Leader, this junior can naturally lead the way. But, if Senior is here … and interrogating this junior, please forgive this junior's rudeness! "
"Oh?
I'm a disciple of the Shang Hua Sect. Although Jiang Fan isn't a good friend of mine, I've met him a few times!
As for his matters … I'll really ask more! "
As Xiao Hua spoke, he flung his Daoist robe. Not to mention Cao Ming, even the several seventh layer Qi Refining disciples near Cao Ming were imprisoned by Xiao Hua!
Seeing Xiao Hua make a move, Zhang Qingxiao frowned. He hadn't uttered a word all this time because he wanted Xiao Hua to see his magnanimity.
Xiao Hua's interrogation was one thing, but once he made a move … Zhang Qingxiao's face would be somewhat embarrassed.
Although these Hundred Herbs Gate disciples weren't personally selected by him, he still ordered the Heavenly Demonic Sect disciples to do this. Xiao Hua clearly didn't trust the Heavenly Demonic Sect, right?
Moreover, this Cao Ming's manners were proper, and he truly had the bearing of a disciple of a famous sect.
"Senior Xiao!"
Although Cao Ming was somewhat flustered, he still hurriedly said, "Senior, you're a Foundation Establishment Senior and a disciple of the Shang Hua Sect. This junior heard that the disciples of the Shang Hua Sect are the most impartial and strict. Senior, why are you making things difficult for my Hundred Herbs Gate because of your conjecture?"
"I just want to ask … how Jiang Fan died!
What death from illness … or something like that, I don't believe it at all! "Xiao Hua said coldly.
Hearing this, Cao Ming sneered and said, "Senior Xiao, you just said that you have the same surname as my Sect Master Xiao!
The old saying is right, five hundred years ago, you were one family!
Senior, you don't believe in your own family, so why do you believe in the rumors of others? "
"Oh?
What rumors? "
Xiao Hua raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I never said anything about rumors. You said it yourself!"
"Hmph, Senior Xiao, there are no rumors in this world. When people talk about it too much, it's just a rumor!"
Cao Ming didn't fall for it and said with a cold snort, "Sect Master Xiao of my Hundred Herbs Gate is a female cultivator, so naturally, there are many sects that have designs on my Hundred Herbs Gate. If Senior was bewitched by others and came to make trouble, this junior still advises Senior to stop!
After all, the Shang Hua Sect is a great sect in my country of Xi. My Hundred Herbs Gate doesn't dare to provoke the Shang Hua Sect, and we don't want to provoke the Shang Hua Sect either! "
"But what if this Xiao wants to get to the bottom of it?" Xiao Hua giggled, revealing his pure white teeth!
Cao Ming sighed and said very firmly, "This junior's cultivation is shallow, so I'm naturally no match for Senior and the others.
However, this junior entered Hundred Herbs Gate as a loose cultivator and has received a lot of favor from Hundred Herbs Gate. This junior would rather live and die with Hundred Herbs Gate! "
"Good, live and die with you!"
Xiao Hua laughed and waved his hand, increasing the power of imprisonment. "This is what you want to sacrifice your life for, so of course I can fulfill your wish!
However, you only need to tell me the rumors from your mouth, and I can let you live!
Otherwise, I will kill you all and then kill my way to Yellow Flower Ridge … "
"Senior, spare my life, spare my life!"
Before Cao Ming could speak, a seventh layer Qi Refining disciple hurriedly shouted, "This junior only entered Hundred Herbs Gate last year. This junior is willing to tell Senior the truth about the death of the previous Sect Master Jiang!"
"Oh?
Very good! "
A smile appeared on Xiao Hua's face. With a wave of his hand, the imprisonment of the seventh layer Qi Refining disciple immediately disappeared. He said with a smile, "This Xiao knew it!
Between life and death, there's bound to be some … great opportunities!!! "
"Fan Zhe …" Cao Ming was furious and cursed, "You entered my Hundred Herbs Gate, but what did this Cao do to you?
You … could it be that because of this little threat, you're pouring unwarranted dirty water on Sect Master Xiao? "
Fan Zhe sneered, "Hundred Herbs Gate is only a thumb-sized sect. How can it compare to the Magnificent Sect?
In the past, Hundred Herbs Gate was able to survive in Yellow Flower Ridge because Senior Xiao of the Magnificent Sect didn't know about it. Now that Senior Xiao of the Magnificent Sect has come to redress Sect Master Jiang's grievances, does this Hundred Herbs Gate … still need to exist? "
"Good, well said!" Xiao Hua clapped and said, "This young master is going to settle old scores with you all!"
Then, Xiao Hua said to the others, "What are you waiting for?
Do you want to live or die? "
The others looked at each other, their faces deathly pale. One of them saw Xiao Hua's question and hurriedly said with a smile, "Senior Xiao, this junior entered Hundred Herbs Gate earlier than Fan Zhe, so I've heard about the changes in Hundred Herbs Gate. But … as you know, the life and death of this sect is really nothing!
What rumors … "
"Hmph, what's the use of saying so much?" Xiao Hua sneered, "This young master only wants to ask you all, do you want to die?
If you don't want to die, you all naturally know what to do! "
"Senior, spare us!"
Several people also begged for mercy, and Xiao Hua's expression was even more brilliant. At the same time, he felt somewhat bitter in his heart. At this juncture of life and death, how many people could keep their hearts?
But the following words from several people stunned Xiao Hua again.
"Senior, please spare our lives. We've been disciples of Hundred Herbs Gate for many years, and we're just ordinary disciples. We don't know anything about the rumors you've told us. Although we don't intend to live and die with Hundred Herbs Gate, we still hope that senior will be magnanimous and spare our lives …"
"En, that's already good enough!"
Xiao Hua nodded slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhang Qingxiao say coldly from the side, "Why waste so much breath?
Just kill him! "
"Don't …" Xiao Hua was slightly taken aback. Just as he was about to block, he saw Zhang Qingxiao wave her hand, and a ray of light flashed, attacking the disciple named Fan Zhe. Thus, he moved, but stopped.
In fact, he didn't intend to kill him. At most, he would just expel Fan Zhe from Hundred Herbs Gate. After all, this was a choice between life and death, so it was inevitable that it would be unfair.
But in the end, Fan Zhe actually said that there was no need for Hundred Herbs Gate to exist. For a disciple of Hundred Herbs Gate, this was truly unforgivable.
"Senior?"
Fan Zhe only had time to cry out in alarm before the ray of light hit his body. Fan Zhe didn't have time to resist at all, and his corpse immediately fell from midair. Aside from Xiao Hua, the others didn't even see how Fan Zhe was killed!
"Hahaha! Forget it!"
Xiao Hua waved his hand, and the imprisonment of Cao Ming and the other disciples completely disappeared. "Just now, I was just joking. Don't mention this to others!
This is a little compensation from me. "
After saying that, Xiao Hua flew up first, and before he left, he waved his hand again, and a few spiritual pills fell into the hands of Cao Ming and the others.
Zhang Qingxiao paused for a moment, and her gaze swept across the people who were begging for mercy just now. The coldness in her eyes made their hearts tremble. However, Zhang Qingxiao didn't say much, and she also turned around and flew into the sky, chasing after Xiao Hua. Not long after, she disappeared from everyone's sight!
"This … What's going on?" Cao Ming looked at the spiritual pills in his hand. There was no medicinal fragrance on them, and he felt very puzzled.
However, he was very clear that this so-called Xiao Ding of Shanghua Sect was definitely not an old friend of Jiang Fan, and they definitely didn't come here to avenge Jiang Jiantong and the others of Hundred Herbs Gate. As for why?
Aside from Xiao Hua and Zhang Qingxiao, who else could know?
"That's right, why?"
Up until now, Cao Ming was still baffled. He had asked a bunch of questions for no reason, imprisoned them for no reason, and killed an Aura Refining disciple for no reason. Then, he turned around and left as if he was some kind of expert!
However, this matter left an unforgettable impression in the hearts of Cao Ming and the other disciples!
