Chapter 2939
"Hiss ~ How can its flying speed be so fast?"
Seeing that the black shadow's speed had far surpassed his own, Xiao Hua's eyes narrowed as he was shocked.
When the black shadow landed on the steps of the ancestral temple, Xiao Hua could clearly see that the black shadow was a bird beast with four wings on its back. Not only did this bird beast have four wings, but it also had three claws under its abdomen and chest. On top of its head, there was a phoenix coronet!
"Damn it, I'm late again!"
Without waiting for this strange bird beast to stop, an old man who was as thin as a bamboo pole jumped down from the back of the bird beast. His body swayed slightly, and in the fierce wind, he flashed to the side of Houtu Village's Elder Wu.
"You're Di Jiang Village's Elder Wu, so you're naturally good at speed!
Even if you're late, can't you just fly a little faster? "The tall old man mocked," So … you're always late! "
"Ming Hua!
I have something to do this time! "
Di Jiang Village's Elder Wu argued, "My Meng Mountain is in such a dangerous situation today, of course I have to rack my brains to think of a way!"
"Ming Hua??"
Although these few Elders were speaking in the language of Meng Mountain, Xiao Hua could not understand them. However, when this Elder Wu uttered the words "Ming Hua", it sounded very similar to the name Qie Xiu when Xiao Hua heard it. Xiao Hua could not help but shudder in his heart!
"Could it be … this old man is the Ming Hua that the Ten Thousand Demon Realm's Empress is looking for?"
Xiao Hua looked at the tall Elder Wu on the steps in the distance, and the white-haired Elder Wu's appearance. No matter how hard he tried, he could not put him together with the Empress's peerless appearance!
It was like the feeling of cow dung and fresh flowers.
Then, several people said a few more words and entered the ancestral temple.
When the figures of several people disappeared, everyone on the steps let out a long breath and slowly moved.
When Xiao Hua followed the palace guard into the ancestral temple, he saw Li Zongbao, Fairy Hong Xia, and the others standing in a corner not far from the door. Xiao Hua did not need the palace guard to lead him and walked over.
But just as Xiao Hua took two steps, the palace guard behind him anxiously said, "Young Master Xiao, your position is not here!"
"Oh?
Where is it? "Xiao Hua turned around and asked curiously.
The palace guard glanced at the skeleton with his soul consciousness and pointed to the top of the ancestral hall. He smiled apologetically and said, "Young Master Xiao's position is just above the eleven Grand Shaman Elders."
"No need, I'll just stay here!" Xiao Hua looked at the Daoist robe on his body and shook his head.
At this moment, he finally understood why so many Soul Warriors had been staring at him.
"This lowly one does not dare to disobey Elder Wu's orders. Young Master Xiao, please proceed!" How could the palace guard let him do as he pleased?
"Go and tell Elder Wu."
Xiao Hua said indifferently, "Since I have the qualifications to stand there, I can naturally stand here as well!"
Seeing that Xiao Hua wasn't going, the palace guard could only leave and report to Elder Wu.
Xiao Hua ignored him and walked towards Fairy Hong Xia and the others.
"Big brother …" Without waiting for Xiao Hua to approach, Xiao Mao waved his hand with a smile.
"What took you so long?!"
Fairy Hong Xia grumbled, "We've been waiting for so long and thought that something had happened to you!"
"Sigh, from what the guard said, we've only just arrived!" Xiao Hua sighed, "However, I just met Ji Man outside the palace!"
"Oh?
What for?? "Fairy Hong Xia's face tightened as she hurriedly asked.
"Nothing, nothing!"
Xiao Hua knew that everyone was like him and had some preconceived ideas about Ji Man. He waved his hand and said, "She only asked about Zi Yan and Zi Ming, she didn't make things difficult for me!
Furthermore, this Ji Man is really pitiful … "
Unfortunately, before he could finish, Fairy Hong Xia said coldly, "A pitiful person must have a hateful side!"
"This …" Xiao Hua was speechless.
"What?
Am I wrong?
If not for her indulgence towards Zi Yan, if not for her rejection of Zi Ming, would Empress Earth Stronghold have fallen to such a state? "
Fairy Hong Xia retorted, "Don't look at how she cares for Zi Ming on the surface and gives in to him in everything. She's actually retreating in order to advance. Once she catches hold of Zi Ming's weakness like before, she'll definitely kill Zi Ming!"
"Alright!
Just pretend I didn't say anything! "
Xiao Hua was speechless. After all, everyone had their own judgment. He only hoped that his judgment wasn't too outrageous.
Ignoring Fairy Hong Xia's reproach, Xiao Hua looked at the entire ancestral hall. Today was different from the last time. There weren't many people in the ancestral hall today, but they were all rather old. Most of them were Wu Lao.
Furthermore, these Wu Lao were divided into three groups, clearly separated.
The first group was the Wu Lao from the twelve main strongholds. They stood in front of the statue of Empress Earth Great God, occupying a large area.
Behind them was the second group, close to two hundred people. These two hundred people were divided into two groups, standing on the left and right sides of the statue.
They should be the Wu Lao from the ninety-nine upper strongholds of Empress Earth Stronghold and She Bi Stronghold.
Lastly was the third group. They were also divided into two groups, following behind the ninety-nine upper strongholds. Each group had about three hundred people. They should be the Wu Lao from the three hundred and sixty lower strongholds.
Xiao Hua looked around. There were many Wu Lao here, and they all looked similar. He really couldn't differentiate the Wu Lao from the Bi 'an stronghold that he first met.
"Eh?
Zi Ming doesn't seem to be in the ancestral hall? "
Xiao Hua looked around for a moment, then suddenly realized something. Sure enough, the surroundings of the statue were empty, and there wasn't any trace of people. "No, Ji Man isn't here either?
She should have come a long time ago!
Zi Ming is the main character of tonight's Lantern Burning Ceremony, and Ji Man is second only to the Wu Lao in Empress Earth Village. How could she not be here? "
As he thought about this, Xiao Hua focused his gaze on the left side of the statue, trying to find some clues.
However, what he saw was still empty. Now, above the ancestral hall, the Wu Lao from the twelve main strongholds of Meng Mountain were gathered. Any one of them was an existence that Xiao Hua looked up to. How could Xiao Hua dare to release his Buddha's consciousness?
After looking around, Xiao Hua gave up and turned his gaze to the twelve Wu Lao who were whispering to each other.
Among the twelve Wu Lao, other than the Wu Lao from Empress Earth Village who looked young, there were three others who were also abnormally young. However, these three people were facing Xiao Hua from the side, so Xiao Hua couldn't see their faces.
In particular, the Wu Lao from Xuanming Village that Xiao Hua saw outside the ancestral hall seemed to have the name Ming Hua. His body was really big, and he was standing at the outermost area, blocking the other Wu Lao. Even if Xiao Hua wanted to see the faces of these Wu Lao, he couldn't.
However, occasionally, from the side of Wu Lao's body, Xiao Hua could still see the back or side of those Wu Lao. They all seemed to look a little strange!
There was even a Wu Lao who had a third arm growing out from his right arm.
"Tsk tsk … It's really a strange phenomenon!"
Xiao Hua blinked. Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, Wu Lao, Ming Hua, raised his arm and moved away from the Wu Lao who had three arms. Coincidentally, the cloth that the Wu Lao was wearing on his head was suddenly lifted up. Under the cloth, a ferocious ghost face was revealed. His eyes, which looked like bloody holes, met Xiao Hua's gaze!
"Hiss …" Xiao Hua was shocked, and all the hair on his body stood up. If he saw the ghost face on a normal day, he might not be afraid. However, the sudden appearance of the ghost face behind the Wu Lao's head and under the cloth was completely out of his expectations.
Fortunately, the cloth seemed to have been brought up by the Mysterious Nether Fort's Elder Wu when he swayed. As the Mysterious Nether Fort's Elder Wu lowered his arm, the cloth fell again and covered the ghost face behind the Elder Wu's head. Furthermore, the Mysterious Nether Fort's Elder Wu's figure completely covered the Elder Wu.
"Damn it, who are these Wu Lao of Meng Mountains?!" Xiao Hua thought to himself with lingering fear, "What do these so-called Twelve Great Gods look like?
Could they all be … "
Thinking up to here, Xiao Hua suddenly had a kind of enlightenment!
"I understand now!
These Twelve Great Gods … could they be related to the ancient spirit beasts?
These people in Meng Mountains are the descendants of those spirit beasts, just like how there are many cultivators with spirit beasts' bloodlines in the Three Kingdoms of Cultivation?
Furthermore, doesn't Fairy Hong Xia have the bloodline of the Ice Phoenix?
Isn't the ancestral shrine of the Cai Clan also in Meng Mountains?
However, these twelve spirit beasts are too powerful. Oh?
Not necessarily. They are probably similar to Fairy Hong Xia's ancestor, the Ice Phoenix?
Otherwise, the ancestral shrine of the Cai Clan wouldn't be in Meng Mountains!
Perhaps the Cai Clan couldn't establish themselves in Meng Mountains, so they moved from Meng Mountains to my Dao Sect's Country of Xi!
Hehe, what a pity. If the Cai Clan was also in Meng Mountains, I would also be able to become a Fu Man! "
Thinking of Fu Man, Xiao Hua's heart was moved. "Where did Ye Yu go?
Doesn't he want to kill Xiao Mao?
Now that Xiao Mao's identity is still unknown, it's the best opportunity for him to strike. Once Xiao Mao's identity is recognized by the Shaman of She Bi Village, what chance would he have? "
"Aiyo, that's not right. I'm afraid Ye Yu has already said something to the Shaman of She Bi Village?"
Xiao Hua frowned again. "Otherwise, why would the Shaman have a problem with me before entering the ancestral shrine?
Why would he block so many people in front of the ancestral shrine of Hou Tu Village and attack me?
Was he going to attack Yours Truly?
Or will he attack Xiao Mao? "
The more Xiao Hua thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Looking at Xiao Mao's face, which was filled with excitement and expectation, he couldn't help but feel worried.
While Xiao Hua's thoughts were running wild, another hour of waiting had passed. The entire ancestral shrine was noisy. Not only were the twelve Great Shaman talking, but many other Shaman were also whispering to each other. This Dipankara Ceremony was indeed rare.
Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from outside the ancestral hall. The hall, which was originally quiet and noisy, immediately quieted down.
Even the twelve Great Shaman who had gathered together to discuss hurriedly dispersed, and stood in their respective positions …
