Chapter 3558

"Who are you?

Which fellow daoist's disciple are you?

Why should this old man help you? "Xiao Hua asked indifferently.

"This young man is not a daoist's disciple."

Young Master Zhu took a deep breath and said, "This young man is a disciple of the Zhu Clan in Xuzhou's Wuyuan County. My name is Zhu Xiang.

My father's name is a secret.

My Zhu Clan is the descendant of the great scholar Zhu Xi. Due to a rumor in the outside world that my ancestor Zhu Xi accidentally obtained the Heavenly Book's True Enlightenment, we were forced by a scholarly family.

Now that my Zhu Clan has declined, it can no longer be considered an aristocratic family. However, the king of the Copper Pillar State is still obsessed with the Heavenly Book's True Enlightenment. My father and my Zhu Clan's disciples were captured by them and brought to Qianyu Mountain. Now, their fate is unknown! "

"Heavenly Book's True Enlightenment?" Xiao Hua's face showed a thoughtful expression. He asked, "What's that?"

"This young man doesn't know!" Zhu Xiang replied without hesitation, "This young man has never heard my father mention this!

I reckon that my Zhu Clan has never obtained the Heavenly Book's True Enlightenment.

This should have been made up by my ancestor's enemies! "

"So it's like this …" Xiao Hua nodded slightly. He understood that this so-called Heavenly Book's True Enlightenment was probably a rumor. If the True Enlightenment existed in this world, how could Xinxin, who came from a scholarly family, not know?

How could the True Enlightenment of the Five Qis Unifications be lost?

However, to Xiao Hua, it didn't matter whether there was the Heavenly Book's True Enlightenment or not. Since Zhu Xiang was a descendant of Zhu Xi and a member of the Zhu Clan, how could Xiao Hua not help him?

Thinking of the Zhu Clan's family of four in Jingbo City, the talismans on their bodies, and the scroll that Old Lady Zhu gave to Xiao Hua in his own space, Xiao Hua couldn't just stand by and watch.

"Quickly go and invite Old Master Zhu Cheng out!" Xiao Hua ordered indifferently.

"This …" The black-armored general slightly hesitated. However, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly shouted, "Quickly, quickly bring Old Master Zhu and his family out!"

Not long after, a Confucian scholar of around fifty years of age and a dozen slightly younger scholars were supported out. These Confucians were even more miserable than Li Xiang. Some had lost arms, some had lost legs, and even more of them did not have a single piece of good flesh on their bodies, their flesh badly mangled.

The Confucian scholar in his fifties had his eyes half open, and his face was swollen to a size larger than an ordinary person's. He couldn't even walk.

"Father …" Zhu Xiang couldn't hold it in any longer and hurriedly ran over from the chain bridge. At this time, a few family guards had already arrived behind him. They hurriedly pulled him back and said anxiously, "Young Master, don't be anxious. You can't cross this chain bridge. Let me invite Old Master out first."

"O … Alright!"

Zhu Xiang was very obedient. He stopped and called out to Zhu Cheng, "Father, the person in the air is Jiang Guo's National Advisor, Daoist Master Xiao. He was the one who saved you."

Zhu Cheng reluctantly raised his head and looked at Xiao Hua in the air. He cupped his hands with difficulty and said, "This old man … thanks Daoist Xiao!"

"You're welcome!" Xiao Hua nodded, "This old man has some connections with the Zhu Family, so saving you is something I should do."

"Oh?"

Zhu Cheng stared blankly for a moment. His eyes turned slightly, and he opened his mouth again. "Daoist Master Xiao's cultivation … is it at the fifth level of Origin Energy?"

Xiao Hua frowned. He didn't understand why Zhu Cheng asked such a question. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "En, probably. Why are you asking this?"

Zhu Cheng clenched his teeth. He extended his hand and pulled out his waist blade from the Black Armored Army beside him. The Black Armored Army was shocked. He hurriedly tried to dodge, but when the Black Armored Army dodged, Zhu Cheng lost his balance and was about to fall.

Xiao Hua waved his hand and supported Zhu Cheng. He smiled and said, "Old Master Zhu, why lower yourself to the same level as a soldier?"

"Pfft …" Zhu Cheng didn't answer. He flipped his hand, and the tip of his waist blade pierced into his calf. "Shua!" With another push, his calf was cut open, and blood flowed out.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Hua was shocked, and the others were also puzzled.

"Father …" Zhu Xiang shouted even louder. He wanted to pounce over.

Zhu Cheng took a deep breath and threw his waist blade away. He extended two fingers and groped around in the flesh of his calf. He took out something smaller than the size of his finger. He extended his trembling arm and weakly said, "Daoist Master Xiao saved my life. I have nothing to repay you with. This is something passed down from my ancestors. As for what it is exactly, I don't know. Today, I will offer this to Daoist Master …"

Without waiting for Zhu Cheng to finish speaking, Zhu Cheng's head tilted and he fainted. That little thing stained with blood was still tightly held in his hand, and he raised it in front of Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua instantly understood Zhu Cheng's intention. He slightly shook his head. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. If Zhu Cheng was trying to divert the disaster, Zhu Cheng had also asked his own cultivation. His strength had reached the fifth level of Origin Energy. In the Daoist Sect, he was a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator. He definitely had the strength to hold the Zhu Clan's inheritance. If Zhu Cheng was only trying to repay a favor, Zhu Cheng had no reason to offer this item in front of so many people!

It was obvious that he wanted to throw away the inheritance that had implicated the Zhu Clan!

Moreover, Xiao Hua was a Daoist Sect cultivator. Zhu Cheng's Zhu Clan's inheritance was used by Confucian cultivators. Zhu Cheng also didn't see Xiao Hua's flying sword. Naturally, he didn't know that Xiao Hua was a Confucian cultivator. What use did Xiao Hua have for it?

"Forget it …" Xiao Hua pondered for a moment, but didn't refuse. He simply went with the flow and waved his hand. The blood-stained item fell into his hand. After carefully examining it, he stored it in his space. Then, he coldly said to the people in front of the jade mountain, "You all saw that this old man took this item. If anyone dares to leak the news, they will die.

If anyone dares to leak it, I will definitely return to the Jade Mountain … I will kill everyone I see! "

"Daoist Master …" The general in front of the Jade Mountain smiled bitterly and said, "If the monarch asks … this general doesn't know how to report it.

Moreover, Zhu Cheng gave it to Daoist Master … "

Although the general didn't finish his sentence, Xiao Hua understood. After thinking a little, he felt that it was true. If these people didn't dare to leak it, who would know that it was in his hands? If they wanted to find it, wouldn't they have to look for the Zhu Clan?

Wouldn't he have taken advantage of them and still acted innocent?

His previous warning was like taking off his pants to fart. It was completely unnecessary!

"Hmph, you just have to report it as it is!"

Xiao Hua coldly said, "However, you still have to pass a message to your monarch. Don't think too much. Although I don't like to kill people, if there is any entanglement, I will definitely not be merciful. There won't be any benefits like Zhan Rushui today!"

"Yes, yes, this general understands. This general has already reported it to my monarch." The general hurriedly replied.

Li Xiang, who hadn't left before, raised his eyebrows when he heard Zhan Rushui's order. His eyes were secretly filled with astonishment.

Then, he looked at the Black Armored Army in front of the Jade Mountain, who were more well-behaved than rabbits. He understood a lot in his heart.

At this moment, the dozen or so guards of the Zhu Clan also leaped over the cable bridge. When they arrived near, they all bowed to Xiao Hua and hurriedly left with the unconscious Zhu Cheng and the others. Zhu Xiang, who was at the edge of the cliff, knelt down towards Xiao Hua and kowtowed a few times before following the crowd.

Previously, when Zhu Xiang asked Xiao Hua to save Zhu Cheng, he didn't kneel down. However, when he saw Xiao Hua accept Zhu Cheng's item, he knew that Xiao Hua was righteous and had sincerely blocked the disaster for the Zhu Clan. The gratitude in his heart was incomparable. Finally, he pushed the golden mountain down the jade pillar and threw away the gold under a man's knee.

Looking at Zhu Xiang's back, Xiao Hua suddenly thought of Jingbo City's Zhu Feng-er and hurriedly transmitted a few words. Zhu Xiang stared blankly, his entire body trembling. He hurriedly turned his head. Although he didn't say anything, anyone could clearly see the wild joy on his face.

Without waiting for Zhu Xiang to say anything, Xiao Hua clapped his hands and took out a few jade bottles. With a wave of his hand, the jade bottles flew across the mountain stream and landed in front of Zhu Xiang. Xiao Hua then said in a clear voice: "Young Master Zhu, please tell your father on behalf of this old man that if this old man has the time, I will definitely pay a visit to the Zhu Clan!"

Zhu Xiang received the jade bottle and carefully put it away. He said respectfully: "My Zhu Clan will never forget Daoist Master Xiao's great kindness. Daoist Master Xiao's life will be passed down in my Zhu Clan for generations."

"Hehe, go!" Xiao Hua waved his hand, lowered his head to look at Li Xiang and the others and laughed, "Fellow Li, let's go as well!"

"Alright!"

Li Xiang patted his mount, and the black horse let out a long neigh, its four hooves flipped as it rushed towards the direction of the chain bridge. However, after a while, dozens of people had crossed the chain bridge, and Li Xiang's cultivation had yet to recover, so his consciousness could not be used. However, seeing the destruction caused by Xiao Hua and the others, Li Xiang was even more surprised in his heart, and when he saw the Black Armored Army that covered the entire mountain range, his surprise had already reached its peak.

He was the second Imperial Advisor of the Jiang Country, and had fought with the Copper Pillar State for many years. How could he not know the power of the Copper Pillar State?

Since the Copper Pillar State had placed such an elite here, and even had the Great Scholar Zhan Rushui, then what about the Copper Pillar State's Imperial Advisor, Leng Qingge?

"General Hao Hu?"

All of a sudden, a general in bright armor appeared at the foot of a mountain not far away. His rock-like face had an indescribable expression as he looked at the top of Li Xiang and the others. Li Xiang was shocked when he saw this person.

Immediately, Li Xiang followed General Hao Hu's gaze and saw Xiao Hua's figure slowly rising up in the sky. In front of him was a heavenly horse that was flashing with a holy light, dragging a carriage and flying out. It was precisely descending from the sky to welcome Xiao Hua.

"Daoist Master Xiao!"

Daoist Master Xiao!

"Li Xiang's heart was filled with complex emotions. Seeing Xiao Hua's figure land on the flying carriage, he muttered to himself.

When Xiao Hua landed on the flying carriage, Liu Yi and Wang Yi flew up, saying that they were welcoming their master.

The two of them had limited cultivation, and Xiao Hua was afraid that the battle would affect the two of them, so he made the heavenly horse and flying carriage stop at an extremely high altitude. The two of them could not see the specific situation, and could only hear the extremely loud rumbling sounds, as well as various colored lights. At the same time, they could feel the intense changes in the heaven and earth origin energy, causing their hearts to clench together. Later on, the entire mountain range fell silent, and the heavenly horse did not fly down, causing them to be even more afraid. Only when the heavenly horse was urged to fly slowly did the two of them finally relax.

"You can wait here!"

Xiao Hua waved his hand and sat down cross-legged. With another wave of his hand, Little Yellow, Little Black and Little Silver appeared in the air.

When Wang Yi Fei saw Little Yellow, his eyes widened. He instantly thought of what Xiao Hua had said earlier, and his expression changed greatly.
