Chapter 3586
Soon after, a few Nascent Soul cultivators stood up and respectfully reported their names. They complimented Daoist Huo De and offered him a cup of spirit wine. Daoist Huo De seemed to be very happy and didn't refuse anyone. He downed all the cups in one go.
After a few cups, Fire Virtue Daoist's face was slightly red, as if he couldn't handle the alcohol.
When Fire Virtue Daoist's gaze fell on Xiao Hua, his eyes showed a trace of a smile. He unexpectedly raised his hand and asked, "Fellow Daoist, you really look unfamiliar. May I know which cave you're cultivating in?"
"I am Xiao Hua!" Xiao Hua stood up and said, "I'm currently cultivating in Yu Province's Black Wind Ridge."
"Yu Province?"
Fire Virtue Daoist slightly tilted his head and frowned. "I don't have many opportunities to go to Yu Province. I remember that six hundred years ago, I was invited by Fellow Daoist Zhen Hong to his Fish Sword Cave. At that time, Fellow Daoist Zhen Hong also invited Fellow Daoists to Yu Province to welcome me. I don't seem to have seen Fellow Daoist before."
"En, indeed." Xiao Hua nodded. "I've also never seen Fellow Daoist Huo De."
After saying that, Xiao Hua was about to sit down.
"En?"
The fat Nascent Soul cultivator frowned and said unhappily, "Xiao Hua, Fellow Daoist Huo De is guiding the younger generation. Although you're not familiar with Fellow Daoist Huo De, now that you've met him, it's inevitable that you won't have time to rely on Fellow Daoist Huo De in the future. Since you're here, there's no reason not to toast Fellow Daoist Huo De, right?
Others have already toasted, but you didn't. Not to mention that your etiquette is not complete, how will others see you? "
Xiao Hua smiled and pointed at the table in front of him. He asked, "Then Fellow Daoist, please help me see which cup of wine I should toast?"
"Naturally, it's the wine of apology!"
The cultivator next to him was unhappy, as if he was covering for Xiao Hua. He said, "Others all have one cup, you can toast three cups.
It's also an apology for your rudeness. "
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xiao …" Hong Songzi, who was at the side, hurriedly took his wine cup and jade pot, and said with a smile, "You're not familiar with the other Fellow Daoists, so how about this humble Daoist toast with you?"
Xiao Hua was also unable to discern the true intentions of that slightly plump cultivator. However, since Hong Songzi had stood up, it wouldn't be good for him to embarrass him. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist."
With that, Xiao Hua was about to leave, but at this moment, Daoist Huo De let out a cold snort. The entire cave became a lot colder. He slowly said, "This old man naturally dares to drink other people's wine!
However, this old man doesn't dare to drink Fellow Immortal Xiao's wine. "
"Fellow Immortal?"
Daoist Huo De's words shocked all the cultivators attending the banquet. After all, Daoist cultivators usually addressed each other as fellow Daoist. Fellow Immortal was usually addressed by Confucian cultivators, Daoist cultivators, or Buddhist cultivators.
"Could it be that this Xiao Hua isn't a Dao cultivator?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were filled with resentment. All of their divine senses swept towards Xiao Hua, as if they wanted to see through Xiao Hua's true colors.
Xiao Hua was stunned. He raised his head and stared at Daoist Huo De for a moment. He frowned and said, "Daoist Huo De, what do you mean by this?"
"Nothing!"
Daoist Huo De raised his hand and poured another mouthful of dark red wine into his mouth. His slightly red face became even redder. Daoist Huo De opened his mouth and blew out a small flame. He let out a long breath and said, "Although this old man rarely goes to Yu Province, I'm quite familiar with Yuzhou's Nascent Soul cultivators and Late Gold Core cultivators. After Fellow Daoist Zhen Hong died, he sent this old man a secret talisman and mentioned the methods of Confucian cultivators. He suspected that the Immortal Palace was training Daoist cultivators somewhere in Yu Province. This plan has been carried out for tens of thousands of years, but for various reasons, it hasn't been successful.
After this old man received the secret talisman, I investigated it but couldn't find anything. However, after seeing Fellow Immortal Xiao today, this old man suddenly became vigilant. "
"Ah?
He … he's a Confucian cultivator's spy? "
Several people near Xiao Hua were shocked. Even Hong Songzi and Daoist Yuanqing's expression changed. Several people hurriedly retreated, as if they were afraid of coming into contact with Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua sneered, "The Hidden Immortal Continent is vast. Yu Province is one of the Nine Provinces. There are many cultivators in Yu Province. Do you know them all?
Have you seen Daoist Master Qing Xu from before? "
At this point, how could Xiao Hua not know what Daoist Huo De was thinking?
Daoist Huo De didn't care about his earliest rudeness. After all, this was Daoist Huo De's banquet. No matter what, he had to have a bearing.
Daoist Master Qing Xu didn't care about Daoist Huo De's face and revealed some secrets. Moreover, these secrets seemed to be true. It was inconvenient for Daoist Huo De to make a move. He didn't even have the ability to stop Daoist Master Qing Xu from leaving. Daoist Huo De's face and prestige had been damaged a lot. Although no one would talk loudly at this banquet, there would be sound transmissions. Afterwards, discussions and rumors would appear. This had an extremely bad influence on Daoist Huo De. If Daoist Huo De wanted to save this face, he had to do it before the banquet.
Xiao Hua, this originally indifferent and impolite cultivator, became the target of Daoist Huo De to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
As for Daoist Huo De's blushing face, perhaps it was a kind of backup plan. If Xiao Hua had some background, he could use drunkenness as a cover.
Others might somewhat understand, but Daoist Huo De's words were very reasonable. Looking at the cultivators in the Immortal's Cave, which one of them didn't call their friends?
Which one of them didn't greet the cultivators in the Immortal's Cave? Which one of them sat down and stared blankly like Xiao Hua?
Even Hong Songzi was very hesitant at this time. He was also suspicious.
Xiao Hua was a gentleman. Naturally, he wouldn't point out Daoist Huo De's filthy heart in front of everyone. He could only beat around the bush and point out Daoist Master Qing Xu, telling Daoist Huo De not to bully people too much.
Unfortunately, Daoist Huo De sneered: "A little junior dares to climb up to a late Yuanying stage senior?
That Daoist Master Qing Xu is one step away from the fifth level of Yuanqi. How could he be a Confucian cultivator's spy?
You have no background. It's like you jumped out of a stone. If I don't suspect you, how can I suspect Daoist Master Qing Xu?
Daoist Yufeng, you're the State Preceptor of Liao State in Yu Province. You should be familiar with all the Daoist cultivators in Yu Province. have you seen this Xiao Hua?
Or have you heard of him? "
Following Daoist Huo De's greeting, a thin early Yuanying stage cultivator hastily stood up. He looked Xiao Hua up and down, then shook his head and said: "The Daoist cultivators in my Yu Province can't compare to other provinces. We've always been very few. When Senior Zhenhong was alive, there were only 82 Yuanying cultivators. After Senior Zhenhong fell, there were only 81. I was the youngest. I have never heard of him … Moreover, in the past 855 years, there hasn't been a Daoist cultivator's celestial phenomenon of pregnancy!
This Xiao Hua, I have indeed never seen him before. "
"What else do you have to say?"
Daoist Huo De said with a smile: "Although I'm very familiar with the Confucian cultivator Kong Hongwu, it's also an improper scheme. I've endured humiliation for the sake of my Confucian cultivator. How can I be like you? Although I'm a Daoist cultivator, my heart is that of a Confucian cultivator."
Xiao Hua narrowed his eyes. He looked at Daoist Huo De and then at the so-called Daoist Yufeng. He said faintly: "Daoist Huo De, others might be interested in what you're thinking, but I don't want to know.
I'm thinking, you don't know, and you can't possibly know.
With your background, I'm afraid … everyone knows what I'm thinking.
If I were a Confucian cultivator, you would've already made your move, right?
Why say so much?
Oh, I'm wrong. If I were a Confucian cultivator, you would've already licked my toes! "
"Bastard!!!"
Daoist Huo De was furious. The flames around his body flourished, and a late-Nascent Soul cultivator's pressure soared into the sky. In particular, a Nascent Soul hand that was several zhang in size slapped out from the top of Daoist Huo De's head. The Nascent Soul hand was as solid as jade, and within it, there were faint traces of fire. As soon as it appeared, it carried a pressure that enveloped Xiao Hua for several zhang. Not to mention Xiao Hua, even the hesitant Hong Songzi, Daoist Yuan Qing, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators were all trembling. Several early-Nascent Soul cultivators' legs were trembling, and they hurriedly released their pressure to resist with all their might.
Xiao Hua's eyes also flashed with flames. The instant the flames around Daoist Huo De's body flickered, Xiao Hua's heart was slightly moved. He was currently cultivating the Five Qis Unifications, and the crimson Heart of Heaven corresponded to the Fire Qi. A cultivator's heart contained fire. Xiao Hua also experienced the test of the Fire Qi in the Five Brocade Cloud Painting. If Xiao Hua stimulated the Fire Qi at this moment, and then attacked with external fire, Xiao Hua could imagine Daoist Huo De's sorry state. Xiao Hua even believed that his pincer attack would cause Daoist Huo De to burn himself.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Xiao Hua's use of a Confucian cultivator's technique would make him lose his tongue. Moreover, Daoist Huo De was a Daoist Nascent Soul cultivator. If he killed Daoist Huo De in front of everyone, it would be breaking off relations with the Daoist Sect. How could Xiao Hua do that?
Thus, Xiao Hua smiled coldly and slapped his hand on top of his head. "Boom …" Like a surging tide, a pressure comparable to a Late Nascent Soul cultivator was born. At the same time, a golden hand similar in size to Daoist Huo De's Nascent Soul cultivator's hand appeared out of thin air. It really grabbed the incoming fiery Nascent Soul cultivator's hand …
"Ah …" All the cultivators were stunned. In a moment of astonishment, everyone immediately released their pressure and formed hand seals to prepare to protect themselves.
However, they were still too slow. "Boom …" With a loud sound, the pressure of the two cultivators collided first. A huge whirlwind was born from the void. All of a sudden, the table and other things between Xiao Hua and Daoist Huo De were swept up. A few cultivators who were caught off guard were also swept up.
Not only once. "Rumble …" Like a thunderclap, the two big hands above the whirlwind clasped together. The fiery hand that made the cultivators feel unparalleled in the world first shone brilliantly, then trembled rapidly. In just a few breaths, it was immediately crushed!
It turned into hundreds of fire birds scattered in the air …
"This … how is this possible?"
A group of Early Nascent Soul and Mid Nascent Soul cultivators in the distance turned pale with fright. "The sign of a Nascent Soul cultivator's defeat is collapse. How could it be crushed?
Unless … unless the opponent's strength is far beyond … could it be … could it be … "
