Chapter 2906

"Sigh, it seems like there are always people who take advantage of their seniority everywhere!

The millions of soul cultivators in Meng Mountains are no exception! "Xiao Hua sighed. He knew that Ji Man would definitely back down, so he quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, Ji Man said indifferently, "Since Great Elder Jie Qing has nothing to ask, then sit down!"

"Ji Man!"

Before Great Elder Jie Qing sat down, another slightly younger elder stood up and walked out from the table in front of him. Bowing, he said, "This subordinate has two questions for Xiao Hua!"

"Mm, go ahead!" Ji Man nodded lazily.

"Little friend Xiao, this old man from Houtu Stockade has two points that I don't quite understand. Please explain them in detail!"

Seeing that this person was very amiable, Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Elder, please speak. This junior will tell you everything he knows!"

"Actually, little friend has already explained it in detail, but this old man still doesn't understand!" Elder Jie Qing smiled and said, "Why did the second underworld beast save you?

Could it be that young master Ziye has some connection with this underworld beast?

Or does little friend have some connection with this underworld beast? "

"Mm, elder, this is a good question. This is what this junior has always been puzzled about!"

Xiao Hua nodded and said seriously, "If I say that this junior has some connection with the underworld beast, I'm sure elder would be the first to not believe me, right?

Hehe, even this junior doesn't dare to believe it!

But if the second underworld beast has some enmity with the first one, then this junior feels that it is a bit strange. The two underworld beasts happened to meet in the Netherworldly Eye, so they started fighting. Then, the soul cultivators of Houtu Stockade were affected. This is what my Dao Sect always says, when the city gate is on fire, the fish in the moat will suffer!

But?

Recently, this junior has a new idea. When this junior lost consciousness, Ziye was right next to this junior, and this junior had unknowingly walked to the side of the Netherworldly Sea. Before this junior lost consciousness, the two underworld beasts were still fighting. If Ziye was saved by the underworld beast … then it is absolutely possible!

That's right, isn't that the underworld beast worshipped by Houtu Stockade? "

Zi Ming's lips curled into a smile. He knew that Xiao Hua wanted to bring out Ziye's corpse more and more. This was an excellent reason for him to bring out his precious corpse in the future.

Seeing that Xiao Hua hadn't really answered the question, the first elder didn't pursue the matter any further. Instead, as if it were a routine matter, he asked another question. "Very well then. This old man has one last question. That is … when the Sound Clam appeared, young friend, you were already not far from the Sea of Hades. But why was it that when you woke up and walked to the side of the Sea of Hades, the several thousand soul warriors of my Back Earth Stronghold were buried in the Sea of Hades?

At that time, Elder Ji Lan was still very far away from the Netherworld Sea. What about the crack near the Netherworld Sea? "

"Heh heh ~" Xiao Hua laughed in his mind. He was the only one who knew the truth. Even Zi Ming was confused, so didn't he just say whatever he wanted?

"Ai, Elder Jie Qing, this junior also wanted to answer this question of yours. Unfortunately, this junior has been thinking about it for a long time, but I haven't been able to figure it out. This junior doesn't know what happened on that day. After all, this junior was confused by the Sound Mirage beast and became delirious. This junior also doesn't know why the golden barrier around this junior's body was able to block the Sound Mirage beast!

Furthermore, this golden barrier was eroded by the winds of the Netherworldly Sea, so why was it able to activate itself and block the sound? This junior also doesn't know! "

It seemed that Elder Jie Qing didn't want to get to the bottom of the matter. Hearing Xiao Hua's explanation, he nodded, "This old man is puzzled. This is the end of everything, and all the explanations are within.

But little friend Xiao is also in a jar, so it's normal that you don't know!

The reason why this old man asked is to see if little friend Xiao had any special feelings … "

"No ~" Xiao Hua shook his head firmly, "After this junior woke up, this junior felt extremely tired, both mentally and physically. Furthermore, this junior was in a hurry to escape, so I didn't dare to think too much.

Along the way, this junior used up all of this junior's magic power and was finally able to escape with my life. While this junior was meditating, this junior was still thanking the Great Goddess Houtu. Fortunately, she didn't want this junior to stay! "

"Heh heh, the Great Goddess Houtu's embrace is the final destination for the people of Meng Mountain!

Little friend Xiao is a cultivator of the Dao Sect. Even if you wanted to, the Great Goddess wouldn't accept you! "Elder Jie Qing smiled and walked back to the table.

Actually, just as Elder Jie Qing said, there were only three survivors. Elder Ji Lan was one side, Mo Han was another, and Xiao Hua was the third. Elder Ji Lan and Mo Han had already reported to Ji Man in the Houtu Palace. They were interrogated in great detail, but they knew very little. They only knew that the entire Netherworldly Sea was shaken violently, countless passages collapsed, and countless cliffs fell down. In fact, most of the several thousand Spirit Warriors had died in this disaster.

As for what exactly happened, they didn't know.

The entire explanation could only be explained by Xiao Hua, and what Xiao Hua said didn't contradict what the other two said. Of course, it seemed that Xiao Hua himself didn't know how many Spirit Warriors the nether beast killed and how much brain matter it ate.

In the end, when facing the Sound Mirage Beast, the three of them were unconscious. Midnight went missing, and no one could explain what happened. The most suspicious thing for the Spirit Warriors was the golden light Xiao Hua used to escape.

But it just so happened that this golden light was a technique of the Dao Sect. Moreover, Xiao Hua had saved two people while escaping. If Xiao Hua had encountered any survivors, he would've definitely been able to save them. All of a sudden, the Spirit Warriors' mouths were shut.

"Everyone, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Ji Man lowered his head and looked around. "If there's nothing else, this matter will be recorded in the Shaman Code!"

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

Xiao Hua somewhat understood why he had to answer questions in the Empress Earth Palace, and why that Elder Shu Shi had to stand up and interrogate him. All of this had to be recorded in the Empress Earth Stronghold's Shaman Code!

"Ji Man ~" Zi Ming at the side bowed and said, "Midnight should be recorded as missing. He … might not have returned to the embrace of the Empress Earth Great God!"

"Yes, these records have their own discretion!"

Ji Man nodded. "If what Xiao Hua said is true, then we were a little hasty in making the sacrifice for Midnight …"

Hearing this, Zi Ming hurriedly lowered her head and looked at the ground. Clearly, this was also a mistake. She was a little too hasty.

However, Ji Man didn't pursue this matter. She asked again, "Qingzhe, did you hear?

Xiao Hua accompanied Midnight to the Netherworld Eye. Although he didn't find the Netherworld Orchid, he did find the Netherworld Bamboo. You should know the value of the Netherworld Bamboo. This bet … your Jing Apple Stronghold has lost! "

"Yes, this concubine knows!"

Jing Apple Stronghold's Ji Man hurriedly stood up. Her face was filled with sorrow as she replied, "If this concubine knew that the price would be so high, this concubine wouldn't have fought with Miss Zi Ming for anything!

It's all because of this concubine's greed that caused such a huge loss. Ji Man, please punish me! "

"Sigh, there's no need!"

Ji Man waved his hand. "The cultivators of the Daoist Sect often say that life and death are decreed by fate, and riches and honor are decided by the heavens. Ziye … was destined for this calamity. Everything happened because of the great Houtu God. You … only came to my Houtu Stronghold because you listened to the great Houtu God!"

"Yes, this concubine understands!"

Jing Apple Stronghold's Ji Man hurriedly nodded. "This concubine is willing to use the Netherworld Mirror only once. The first two times, we will let the Dao Sect's distinguished guests use it first!"

"Good!" Ji Man nodded. "If you don't have any objections, then let Zi Ming go to the ancestral shrine to ask for the spirit treasure!"

"Yes, the Boy understands. The Boy will go to the ancestral shrine after bathing for three days!" Zi Ming finally heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't think that things would be so simple.

Then, Ji Man waved her hand. Zi Ming accompanied Xiao Hua to the side. Outside the hall, another table was taken out. The two of them sat down. Ji Man casually asked a few more questions. Listening to those who came to report, most of them were about the drought in Meng Mountains. Ji Man only listened and instructed the note-takers. When Elder Wu came back, she stood up and left.

"That's it?"

After Ji Man left, everyone also stood up and prepared to leave the Empress Earth Hall in twos and threes. Xiao Hua was just like Zi Ming. He was confused and felt that it was inconceivable. "No one asked anything else?"

"Let's go, Young Master Xiao!"

Zi Ming smiled. "The Empress Earth Hall is the meeting place of my Empress Earth Stronghold. If it wasn't for the matter of the Netherworld Eye, Young Master Xiao and the others wouldn't have been able to enter so easily!"

"Hehe, good. I've really witnessed the majesty of the Empress Earth Stronghold's meeting hall!"

Xiao Hua said with a smile. Everything had come to an end. They only needed to use the Netherworld Mirror three days later, and they would be able to find clues about Xiao Mao's background. At that time, the clouds would be lifted and the sky would be revealed.

Thinking about this, Xiao Hua felt that all his efforts were not in vain. All his suffering was not in vain.

"Young Master Xiao ~" A somewhat old voice sounded. Xiao Hua raised his head and saw Elder Ji Lan of Jing Apple Stronghold walking quickly towards him.

"Elder Ji Lan!" Xiao Hua bowed and greeted. "It has been several dozen days since we last met. Has Elder recovered?"

"Young Master Xiao!"

Elder Ji Lan walked in front of Xiao Hua and said gratefully, "This old one was temporarily bewitched by the Sound Clam Beast. I only need to rest for a few days. How can I be compared to Young Master's injuries?

This old one has always wanted to thank Young Master for saving my life. However, this old one knew that you were seriously injured and needed to cultivate in seclusion. Thus, this old one did not dare to disturb you. Today, when I saw Young Master in the Empress Earth Hall, this old one finally felt relieved.

This old one hereby thanks Young Master for his great kindness! "

After saying that, Elder Ji Lan was about to kneel on the ground. It was actually the etiquette of Meng Mountain.

"Aiyo, I don't dare!" How could Xiao Hua allow Elder Ji Lan to kneel? He quickly stepped forward and supported him.

Who would have thought that this simple support would cause a great force to come from Elder Ji Lan's arm!

Xiao Hua was startled. His arm could not help but exert strength as well, firmly supporting Elder Ji Lan.

If that was all, it would be fine. However, after Xiao Hua supported Elder Ji Lan, the strength of Elder Ji Lan's arm gradually increased, as if he wanted to compete with Xiao Hua in terms of strength.
