Chapter 3710
"That's right, that's true!"
When Xiao Hua heard this, he immediately had a plan in his heart. "I originally planned to return to Black Wind Ridge after exploring the Ancient Forbidden Formation, but the information you two Fellow Daoists had about Star Lord Hall really scared me. Now that I've heard Brother Xun Kong's words, I'm suddenly enlightened. Since it has nothing to do with us, we don't have to worry about anything we do.
If that Confucian cultivator wants to find trouble with us, he doesn't need to see if we've done anything. "
"Forget it, forget it …" Zhang Daoran waved his hand. "Since Brother Xiao isn't that senior's disciple, you naturally have nothing to do with this matter. We don't need to mention this anymore. Let's talk about this ancient forbidden formation!"
"Hehe …" Xiao Hua smiled mysteriously and waved his sleeve. Several jade eyes appeared in front of them. "Take a look first. It'll definitely exceed your expectations."
"Huh??"
Sure enough, when their Divine Senses saw the jade eyes, both of them were greatly shocked, and it was even more so than Xiao Hua and Zhai Xingzi. Zhang Daoran even cried out involuntarily, "Why have I never thought that this Cloudy Mountain Maze Formation is actually within my Jing Province?"
"Hehe …" Exalted Master Xun Kong laughed after recovering from his shock. "Brother Dao Ran, although you were ahead of me before the Jade Pavilion Meeting, I'm confident that I'll be able to keep pace with you after the Restriction Formation."
"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to it!" Zhang Daoran also laughed.
"Right, where's Zhai Xing Zi??" Xun Kong only thought of Zhai Xing Zi now. "Where did that guy run off to?"
"I don't know!"
Xiao Hua shrugged. "Fellow Daoist Zhai Xing is so mysterious. I don't know if he's looking for someone or something. He disappeared with his lover."
"Lover?
When did that guy have a dual cultivation partner? "
Xun Kong's eyeballs were about to fall out. "That guy has always been arrogant and thinks he's on par with Immortal Emperors. How did he suddenly find a Celestial Empress?"
"Hahaha, when he returns, you two will naturally know." Xiao Hua laughed.
Zhang Daoran rubbed his nose and said strangely, "Brother Xiao, not to mention that your luck is especially good, after this old man and Xun Kong met you, not only did we obtain two strange treasures, we even obtained the opportunity to enter the Misty Mountain Maze Formation.
Let's talk about your social relations. Zhai Xing Zi usually doesn't associate with Daoism cultivators. How did you meet him? "
"About this …" Xiao Hua was slightly hesitant, and he thought for a moment before he said with a flattering smile, "The reason for this is slightly related to a secret, so it's inconvenient for me to explain. Let's wait for Fellow Daoist Zhai Xing to return and see what he has to say!"
"Then I won't ask!"
Xun Kong said with a smile, "I believe in Brother Xiao's character. Since you feel that Old Man Zhai Xing can get along with you, then I'll believe you for once. Let's go explore the cave abode of this Tribulation Transcending Senior."
"That …." Zhang Daoran hastily called out to Xun Kong and handed him a jade eye. "Brother Xun Kong, take a look at this …."
"Hmm, it seems like … we should also go and make some preparations!"
Xun Kong took a look and exchanged glances with Zhang Daoran. "However, this is Jing Province. I'm not too familiar with Brother Xiao, so I'll have to trouble Brother Daoran."
"No problem." Zhang Daoran nodded. "I'll go with my disciple to various places in Jing Province to borrow some magic treasures from Fellow Daoists that I'm familiar with. However, it's a bit impolite to ask my disciple to go to some places. If it's convenient, I'll write down the address in the jade eye.
"No problem ~" Xun Kong said with a smile, "I still have some face. If Brother Daoran has something to say, feel free to say it."
Xiao Hua waved his hand. "Don't count me in. I can't differentiate between north, south, east, and west!
Moreover, they might not recognize me. "
"Hmm, since that's the case, Brother Xiao, stay here and carefully inspect these jade eyes. See if there's anything you missed out. Ancient forbidden formations aren't good places!"
Zhang Daoran agreed very straightforwardly. Then, he and Xun Kong used three days to look through the contents of the jade eyes. After assigning their respective tasks, they hurriedly left with their disciples.
Looking at Zhang Daoran and Xun Kong's orderly appearance, Xiao Hua's heart was even more at ease. This was the normal rhythm of entering an ancient forbidden formation. Previously, he explored the secret area purely blindly, the rhythm of courting death.
Xiao Hua sent Zhang Daoran and Xun Kong off. He used his hand to pinch his chin as he thought to himself, There's no other way. They've lived for so many years. They have to know more than I do!
At this point, Xiao Hua already understood that he probably wouldn't enter the Misty Mountain Maze in a short period of time. He had the intention to go to Black Cloud Ridge, but he was afraid that the round trip would take too long. In the end, he simply didn't think about it. After all, Li Xiang was overseeing Black Cloud Ridge, and now there was also Xiong Yi's help. Both of them had the experience of ruling a country. Which one of them wasn't stronger than him?
What he had to do was to raise his cultivation and be their strong backing.
After Zhang Daoran and Xun Kong left for a few months, their disciples returned one after another. These disciples were all respectful to Xiao Hua and didn't conceal their whereabouts and gains. Among the ten people, seven of them completed their master's orders. It seemed like Zhang Daoran's reputation in Jingzhou was still rather great.
Another half a month later, Zhang Daoran and Xun Kong also returned. Both of their expressions were slightly unsightly. Xiao Hua knew that the two of them didn't have a smooth journey and didn't ask much. He only smiled and said, "I haven't seen the two of you return for so many days. I thought that the two of you had also become meat buns. Fortunately, the two of you are much stronger than Zhai Xing Zi!"
"Oh?"
Xun Kong was originally slightly displeased, but after hearing Xiao Hua's words, he was slightly stunned and asked curiously, "What?
Old ghost Zhai Xing hasn't returned yet?
Could it be that this guy really fled at the last moment? "
Zhang Daoran waved his hand and said in disbelief, "Impossible. Although Zhai Xing Zi's Starlight is arrogant, he has always been a man of his words. What he says is absolutely trustworthy.
Perhaps … he's the same as us, and has been refused entry! "
"Hmph …" Xun Kong couldn't help but become infuriated when he heard this, and he said furiously, "Motherfucker! Isn't it just borrowing a few magic treasures?
What's so great about that?
Wait until I come out from the Cloudy Mountain Maze Formation, I'll deal with all of you one by one. "
"Looks like things didn't go smoothly?" Only at this moment did Xiao Hua ask with a grin on his face.
Zhang Daoran laughed bitterly. "Actually, it's nothing much. If it was a normal time, these Fellow Daoists ought to be able to agree!
But because of the matter of the Jadestage Meeting, the situation in the Hidden Immortal Continent is slightly subtle, and they don't dare arbitrarily get involved with us. "
"Even though I participated in the Jadestage Meeting, I didn't do anything, and I almost perished within the formation …" Xun Kong spoke with slight indignation.
"Forget it, forget it …" Xiao Hua's eyes spun as he waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoists, what are the magic treasures that you didn't borrow like?
Perhaps I have them here! "
Zhang Daoran naturally didn't believe what Xiao Hua said, and he only took it as Xiao Hua consoling himself, so he spoke of the might of the two magic treasures absent-mindedly.
While Xiao Hua listened carefully, he instructed the green-robed Xiao Hua to search among the magic treasures that were still repaired, and further refine them.
Zhang Daoran didn't care, but Xun Kong blinked his eyes and looked at Xiao Hua thoughtfully, as if he had seen something.
Subsequently, Zhang Daoran and Xun Kong took back the Jade Eyes, and brought their disciples, Xue Ping, and a few other cultivators to discuss the details of the inside. From time to time, they would send disciples to investigate several miles away. Until more than 75 days later, a Divine Sense swept over from afar, and an apologetic voice came, "I came back late. I'm really sorry for the long wait."
"Hehe, Meat Bun is back!" Xun Kong withdrew his Divine Sense from the Jade Eyes, and as he spoke, he looked into the distance. "Eh?
Why did Zhai Xing Zi bring back a Confucian cultivator? "
When Xiao Hua heard this, he immediately understood that this Confucian cultivator wasn't invited by Zhai Xing Zi, and must be a close friend of Gusu Qiudi.
Of course, whether he was a Confucian cultivator or not, Xiao Hua and the others had to come out to welcome him. When Zhai Xing Zi and the others appeared, Xiao Hua saw clearly, and he couldn't help but frown, because beside Zhai Xing Zi, besides Gusu Qiudi, there was actually another beautiful woman.
This woman looked a little thin and weak, and her clothes were a little fluttering on her body. This woman didn't have anything special except for her high forehead and two extremely bright eyes. However, the very arrogant expression on this woman's face was much stronger than Zhai Xing Zi's.
Xiao Hua turned to look at Xun Kong and Zhang Daoran. In their eyes, besides puzzlement, there was vigilance, and it seemed that they didn't know this woman, and she didn't seem to be a famous disciple of the Jing Province.
"Fellow Zhai Xing, you've worked hard!"
Zhang Daoran sensed Xiao Hua's gaze, nodded slightly, and stepped forward to bow, "Previously, I had some conflict with you at the Jade Pavilion Conference. Now that I think about it, it's not worth it. I apologize to you."
"Ouch!"
Zhai Xing Zi saw that Zhang Daoran actually went straight to the point to apologize, and even bowed, and his expression changed greatly. He hurriedly landed in front of Zhang Daoran, helped him up, and said, "Brother Daoran!
Your words are too polite. The situation back then was different from now. You and I didn't know each other's positions.
Moreover, if we're talking about apologizing, it should be me apologizing to Brother Daoran and Brother Xun Kong. I was bewitched by that brat Huo De, and I didn't want to join hands with you all. Instead, I attacked Brother Daoran and Brother Xun Kong. It's really my fault. "
Zhang Daoran's temperament was relatively calm, and he was very clear that when entering the bewildering formation together, trust between everyone was extremely important. Thus, he apologized as soon as they met. If this were to happen to Xun Kong, he definitely wouldn't do such a thing.
On the other hand, Zhai Xing Zi was the same.
Now that Zhang Daoran was leading the way, Zhai Xing Zi hurriedly stepped back and apologized. Xun Kong naturally understood the situation and stepped forward to bow.
In this way, although the three late Nascent Soul Grandmasters who each occupied a region couldn't be said to have buried the hatchet, this kind of harmony had never been seen before.
"Hmph …" At this moment, an extremely untimely cold snort sounded, and a somewhat mocking female voice sounded, "How hypocritical!
Think about it, not long ago, you were enemies who fought to the death at the Jade Pavilion Conference. How can you be so harmonious now?
Can the conflict between life and death be resolved with a few words? "
