Chapter 3619

After Xiao Hua's divine sense landed on the defensive formation and carefully observed it for a moment, he unconsciously frowned slightly.

This defensive formation was rather strange. It was like a lock covering the sandbar. The three streams rushing in from all directions were like keys to the lock. The defensive formation could only be opened by the streams.

However, there was a faint strangeness in the streams, which contained a murderous intent. Xiao Hua felt that it was somewhat familiar, but also difficult to grasp. He had no choice but to think more about it.

"Fellow Daoist Jingting, how did you enter this place last time?" Xiao Hua seemed to have a plan and asked.

Reverend Jingting said without hesitation: "When I participated in the Yaotai Assembly for the first time, I had already obtained the Imperial Preceptor's lot on a mountain range not far from here. Unfortunately, before I could put it in my Qiankun Bag, I was discovered by another Fellow Daoist. This Fellow Daoist was more powerful than me, so I was thrown into that stream.

In order to escape that Fellow Daoist's pursuit, I used the Water Escape Technique to hide. Who knew that a very inexplicable force would bring me into that sandbar.

It's just that … I only entered the sandbar for a very short time. I was only able to see the situation inside before I was brought out.

Later on, by chance and coincidence … I found out that inside was the Renjing that ordinary Daoist cultivators of my sect talked about!

Alas, since I knew this thing was the Renjing, I had to come here every time I came here to take a look. However, apart from the first time, this was the only time I could see the surrounding ancient trees. In the past several hundred years, Star Lord Hall never opened this place. "

"This time, I don't have much time left!"

Xiao Hua looked at the place that was only a few li away. The edges of the ancient trees were already blurred, as if the blood-red light had swallowed the ancient trees. Moreover, under the cover of the light, all the mountains, forests and streams could no longer be seen. Only the distant Yaotai Mountain stood tall like a pillar that reached the sky.

Upon seeing this, Reverend Jingting straightened his clothes and bowed to Xiao Hua: "Reverend Xiao, in fact, when I obtained the jade box containing the Imperial Preceptor's lot, I had a premonition in my heart that the jade box contained no other treasure but the Imperial Preceptor's lot."

"Why?" Reverend Yuanqing was somewhat puzzled. "If you didn't have a premonition … why did you fight for it?"

Daoist Jing Ting said very meaningfully: "I naturally fight for the State Preceptor's lot, but if I can't get it, then it's naturally not the State Preceptor's lot.

However, Zhenren Xiao killed the Guardian Star and asked us to search for it. The only thing I could find … was the Imperial Master's lot! "

Daoist Master Jingting's words were very awkward, but Daoist Master Yuan Qing also understood a little. Daoist Master Jingting's luck was extremely bad. This was his thirteenth time participating in the Yaotai Assembly. The number of the Imperial Preceptor's lot was pitifully small. This was the first time he was so close to the Imperial Preceptor's lot, but he just happened to encounter the unstoppable Xiao Hua.

Even if he could get the Imperial Teacher's lot in his hands, in the end, he would have to give it to Xiao Hua.

As Daoist Jing Ting spoke, his figure didn't get up. "Since the Heavens let me present the Imperial Preceptor's lot with both hands, then it's also letting me serve Daoist. I hope that Daoist Xiao can guide me when you establish your country in the future."

Daoist Yuan Qing's eyebrows twitched as he forced a smile. He glanced at the silent Xiao Hua and said, "Fellow Daoist Jing Ting, I'm afraid this isn't your true reason, is it?"

"Yes, this is a reason, but it's not the most important one!"

Daoist Jing Ting didn't quite understand the relationship between Xiao Hua and Daoist Yuan Qing, but seeing that Xiao Hua didn't speak and only Daoist Yuan Qing spoke, he thought Xiao Hua didn't quite believe him. He hurriedly said, "The most important thing is that I really don't have confidence in myself. I must rely on a senior with destiny!

Daoist Xiao controls the national treasure of Confucian cultivators, so you're definitely a person with great destiny. If I don't rely on Daoist Xiao, who else can I rely on? "

Daoist Yuan Qing blinked his eyes and said with a smile, "So that's how it is. I thought Fellow Daoist was as afraid of death as I."

"Being afraid of death is naturally one of the reasons." Daoist Jing Ting said with a smile.

Xiao Hua looked at Daoist Jing Ting's bowing appearance and nodded. "As early as when Fellow Daoist Jing Ting gave me the jade box, I already promised you that I would take out something of equivalent value to the treasures inside the jade box to exchange with Fellow Daoist. Since Fellow Daoist wants to use his own future to exchange with me, I naturally feel ashamed to accept it!"

When Daoist Jing Ting heard this, his face was filled with ecstasy. He shouted, "State Preceptor, please accept this subordinate's bow!"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist is too polite!"

Xiao Hua raised his hand and helped Daoist Jing Ting up. "Since you want to work for me, I will certainly not treat Fellow Daoist unfairly. As long as I can give you anything, I will satisfy Fellow Daoist."

Daoist Yuan Qing's face showed a trace of surprise. He also said with a smile, "Congratulations, Daoist Xiao. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jing Ting …"

"Huh?"

Xiao Hua was about to raise his head to answer when suddenly his eyebrows rose and he let out a cry of surprise. He immediately waved his hand and grabbed Daoist Yuan Qing and Daoist Jing Ting out of thin air. Without waiting for the two to speak, he dragged the two of them and rushed to the nearby sandbar.

Daoist Jing Ting and Daoist Yuan Qing were slightly stunned. However, when their divine senses swept over the sandbar, they saw that under the blood-red brilliance, near the upper wind of the second stream, an inexplicable aura rushed out. The originally disorderly inscriptions immediately swarmed up. That aura was like a sharp blade that cut open a flaw in the defensive formation!

"There's someone inside!!!"

Daoist Jing Ting exclaimed in a low voice and looked at Daoist Yuan Qing. The two of them looked at each other with surprise.

The inscriptions were like a fountain, and the Noble Spirit swarmed out. This Noble Spirit was like an incomparably sharp Flying Sword, and it slashed in the air with a 'whooshing' sound. Strands of fine texture appeared in the void, and the white clouds were turned into nothingness by these fine texture.

Xiao Hua brought the two of them with him. His whole body flashed with a faint golden light. This golden light also made cracking sounds in the fine lines and shattered into pieces. However, the moment it shattered, the golden light condensed again. "Go …" Xiao Hua landed in the middle of the inscriptions and waved his hand. A ray of brilliance appeared, like a huge fist crashing into the inscriptions. "Boom …" Thousands of inscriptions were forcibly suppressed. The place where the aura appeared was torn apart by this fist. The aura that rushed out became more and more violent. However, just as the aura rushed out, an ear-piercing beast roar was heard from within the crack. The aura suddenly converged, and even a kind of weakness and helplessness leaked out from the aura!

"Demonic beast!!"

Xiao Hua was slightly stunned. He made a hand seal to protect himself and the others. As his body crashed into the crack, his divine sense rushed inside.

"Oh?

This is somewhat interesting! "

Xiao Hua landed in the defensive formation. His divine sense had already seen the situation inside the formation clearly. His face unconsciously revealed an expression of interest.

He saw that this place was several acres in size. Three streams rushed into the sandbar, dividing the sandbar into three parts. And the three streams converged at the center of the sandbar. A layer of watery splendor rushed out from the center of the sandbar, covering a part of the sandbar. Moreover, with Xiao Hua's divine sense, he had already sensed the mana fluctuations of this splendor. What was covering a part of the sandbar … was actually a Daoist magic array.

Looking above the sandbar, the aura that rushed out of the defensive formation came from a demonic beast that was several tens of meters in size. This demonic beast had long ears, blood-red eyes, and a three-petaled mouth. It was very similar to an ordinary rabbit. However, this demonic beast's fur was brownish-red, and its tail was several tens of meters long. How could a rabbit compare to the bloodthirst in its eyes and the vicious aura on its huge demonic body?

Below the demonic beast's body, two forelimbs that were like human arms were currently covered in a scarlet ring of fire. This ring of fire burned with flames that were several feet high, roasting the demonic beast's forelimbs black. A pungent smell pervaded the air.

Not only that, but above the demonic beast's head, a three-pronged trident that was more than a foot long was emitting a three-colored brilliance that firmly covered the demonic beast's head. The demonic beast's thunderous roars could not be heard.

In front of the demonic beast, there were several Nascent Soul cultivators who were flying in a circle in midair. The three at the front were forming hand seals and activating their magic treasures. The four at the left were holding magic treasures in their hands and coldly looking at a female cultivator wearing dark reddish-purple clothes behind the demonic beast.

Xiao Hua brought Daoist Yuan Qing and Daoist Jing Ting into the defensive formation. The seven of them were immediately alerted. However, when everyone scanned them with their divine senses, they saw that the three people activating their magic treasures were not alarmed at all. It was as if they had just seen a passerby. On the other hand, the other two people were surprised but also had a trace of ridicule.

Xiao Hua also knew these two people. Weren't they the two cultivators that Xiao Hua had met on the night before he entered Mount Yaotai and participated in the trade fair?

One was Daoist Xi Fan, and the other was Daoist Chu!

This was what they meant by "enemies are bound to meet"!

Xiao Hua could clearly see the two people's ridicule. His heart was unconsciously moved and he looked towards the formation below him. As for Daoist Jing Ting, as soon as he entered the defensive formation, he was immediately attracted by the rabbit-like demonic beast. His gaze had already fallen on the female cultivator wearing dark reddish-purple clothes.

He saw that this tall female cultivator looked to be in her twenties. The purple clothes she wore accentuated her curves. The woman's appearance was elegant and she had an oval face with a small nose that was slightly raised. Her most attractive feature was her pair of eyes.

The woman's eyes weren't large and were apricot-shaped. Under her thin eyelids, her flowing gaze was like water ripples. The woman's gaze swept past Xiao Hua and the others. Immediately, a kind of faint sadness emerged in everyone's hearts.

This sadness seemed to be a reflection of the female cultivator's unfortunate life, but it also seemed to be a kind of pity for the female cultivator. Because at this moment, the woman's face was pale and flushed. Obviously, she was injured.

On top of the woman's head, a simple and unadorned jade pendant emitted a misty brilliance that firmly enveloped the woman. However, this brilliance was as thin as paper. It seemed that any random magic treasure could break through the woman's defensive magic treasure.

"Aooo …" Seeing that another person had rushed into the defensive formation, the demonic beast opened its mouth and roared. Its body struggled with all its might and a kind of dense demonic fog sprayed out from its mouth. However, under the confinement of the trident, that dense fog couldn't reach very far. Even the demonic beast's twisting body overflowed with runes. These runes were like ropes that trapped the demonic beast …
