"Swoosh …" A dual-colored cloud descended and shrouded Xiao Hua's figure. Xiao Hua's concealing technique was also revealed. Moreover, under the cloud, the jade pendant in Xiao Hua's bosom shone with a strange brilliance. When this brilliance touched the cloud, it immediately left Xiao Hua. Naturally, the cloud also disappeared.
Looking again in front of Xiao Hua, there was a small hall. Several Confucian cultivators at the sixth level of essence power were holding their respective imperial artifacts, standing there on guard, eyeing Xiao Hua like a tiger eyeing its prey. Among them, a general with an average stature and bulging muscles all over his body whispered, "Who are you?
What are you doing here? "
"Me?"
Xiao Hua was taken aback. He didn't know how to answer. Moreover, he knew very well that this was a secret signal. How could he answer without a secret signal?
However, looking at the Confucian cultivator at sixth grade Origin Qi, Xiao Hua sneered and replied, "This one is a good friend of the Star Moon Palace Master. I was just wandering around when I had nothing to do …"
Xiao Hua originally wanted to say that he found this place a little strange, so he came over to take a look. However, before he could speak, the general spoke coldly. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice as he said, "Why are you dawdling like this?
Why aren't you coming over? "
"Oh?" Xiao Hua was taken aback. He really didn't expect this sentence to be the so-called secret signal!
These Confucian cultivators … really keep up with the times!
Of course, since the secret signal had been matched, he didn't say anything else. Bi Qingyu's experience had already told him that if he wanted to pretend, he had to pretend until the end. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see the truth if he gave up halfway.
Although Bi Qingyu, Heaven Concealing Ridge, and Ancient Bell Mountain already belonged to the Fortune Gate, he still didn't know who was the real mastermind behind the scenes. Even the three Great Sages of the Great Sage Hall didn't know!
Therefore, Xiao Hua didn't say anything and walked into the hall.
This hall was similar to the one Xiao Hua had seen before. There was nothing special about it. However, there were many more Gongshu Family disciples inside the hall. Moreover, everyone was sitting with their heads down and didn't talk to others.
When Xiao Hua walked in, no one raised their heads to look at him.
Therefore, Xiao Hua looked around and found a place where there weren't many people and casually sat down. He also slightly lowered his head and only released his Buddhist sense to look at the situation around him.
What surprised Xiao Hua was that the cultivators in this hall were all Confucian cultivators, and they were all above the Great Grandmaster Realm. Many of the cultivators were even wearing things that concealed their cultivation base. Xiao Hua's cultivation base was extraordinary, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to see through it.
"Hehe, this is getting more and more interesting." Seeing the situation before his eyes, how could Xiao Hua not know that he was already in a very delicate situation? Moreover, he had coincidentally uncovered a mysterious veil!
He was looking forward to seeing what was behind the veil.
Unfortunately, Xiao Hua was still overthinking things. In less than half a cup of tea's time, the military generals who had been guarding the door earlier walked in, looked around, and said, "Today's gathering was rushed, so not many people came.
Let's not talk about anything else. I just want to tell everyone that the previous plan will be put on hold for now. If there is no new information, everyone should not take any action for now. Just enter the Star Moon Palace and do your own things! "
"I have a question …" Without waiting for the military general to finish speaking, a cultivator called out coldly.
"Fellow Immortal, please speak …" The military general raised his hand and pointed.
"I believe that all of you are like me, Fellow Immortals, and have put in a lot of effort for today!
We naturally entered the Star Moon Palace for one purpose, but … towards the Star Picking Tower … "
"Shut up!"
Without waiting for the cultivator to finish speaking, the military general roared angrily. A tri-colored ball of light condensed in his hand, and he shouted, "Don't tell me you don't know the taboo?
“
"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong!"
The cultivator hurriedly apologized and said, "I just wanted to say that we have been preparing for a long time, and now that we have a clue, why did we suddenly give up?"
"This …" The military general was obviously stunned. He didn't expect someone to ask.
He then turned to look at another cultivator. That cultivator pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually … this is also a secret that you don't need to know. However, considering that all of you have made a lot of preparations, we may have a chance in the future. Thus, Master told me to tell you that the current situation is a little different. This is because … the Star Moon Palace Lord has appeared today and brought back two cultivators of unknown origins!
Furthermore, one of them is a human Grand Ascension Stage cultivator. This … is not something that we can deal with.
Thus, our plan … will be postponed! "
"A human Grand Ascension Stage cultivator?
How is that possible? "The military general exclaimed," I've never heard of a human Grand Ascension Stage cultivator in the Dao Sect! "
"I don't care if you believe it or not, but I do!" The cultivator said in an indifferent voice, "This is what Master told us to do!
You can all disperse … "
"Disperse?" The military general faltered upon hearing this. "We're going to disperse just like that?"
"That's right, what else can we do?
Do you want a human Grand Ascension Stage cultivator to kill you with a single slap? "
The cultivator chuckled. "Hurry up and leave. Even today's gathering was decided after much deliberation by Master. He wants to minimize your losses …"
"The Star Moon Palace's Palace Lord is only a seventh-grade Origin Qi cultivator. How can we not be a match for her?" The military general exclaimed, "That human Grand Ascension Stage cultivator … Perhaps he's just passing by …"
"Shut up!" The cultivator roared, "Master will think about this matter. It's not up to you to speak!
Hurry up and leave!
If the Star Moon Palace finds out about this, we'll all be dead … "
"Hmph, if you knew something was wrong, you should've stayed outside Star Plucking Tower …" One of the cultivators muttered.
"Cut the crap, hurry up and disperse!"
Another cultivator scolded in a low voice. "Do you know what it means by 'what's real is fake, and what's fake is real'?"
"I know what it means by 'the most dangerous place is the safest place' …" The cultivator muttered in a low voice before getting up and walking toward a curved outline of a small door not far away.
Seeing that the cultivator had left, no one said anything else. They all got up and slowly made their way toward the small door.
Although Xiao Hua hadn't been here for a long time, from these few short sentences, Xiao Hua learned a lot.
As he watched everyone leave, he looked at the cultivators standing next to him and muttered in his heart. If he were to make a move now, he would definitely be able to capture these cultivators and perhaps find out the truth. However, when he thought of Fairy Xing Yue's stingy attitude, Xiao Hua curled his lips slightly. "Damn it, they seem to be after Star Moon or Star Plucking Tower.
Moreover, it's easy to tell that the Tower Master of Star Plucking Tower is among them. Why am I getting involved?
Fairy Xing Yue has already made it clear that she doesn't intend to leave Star Moon to me in the future. Why should I meddle in other people's business?
I just need to do a good job for the Merchant Alliance.
If an Immortal from the Immortal World can make Star Moon into something like this, why can't I, a human Grand Ascension Stage cultivator, do the same? "
While Xiao Hua was thinking, many cultivators had already left. Xiao Hua looked again and saw that several cultivators were already looking at him. He shrugged, blinked his eyes with Zhang Xiaohua's appearance, turned around, and followed the crowd through the small door.
Outside the small door was another corridor. Xiao Hua didn't see any other cultivators nearby. He was certain that this small door must be a defensive array of Star Plucking Tower. If it weren't for Star Plucking Tower's spies, they wouldn't have been able to obtain such convenience.
However, what did this have to do with Xiao Hua?
Xiao Hua smiled, as if he had just watched a farce. He recovered his appearance and casually walked in a certain direction.
The floors of Star Plucking Tower were the same as those seen outside. After passing through this small door, Xiao Hua couldn't tell which floor he was on. However, he knew that Xu Zhi and Fairy Xing Yue must be on the highest floor, so he walked up the stairs when he saw them.
After walking through two pavilions, before Xiao Hua could figure out which floor he was on, he heard a slightly oppressive voice above his head say, "There's no need to talk about this anymore. I've already made up my mind!
If Murong Hui has any objections, feel free to look for me after we reach Star Moon Palace … "
"Sweat …" When Xiao Hua heard this familiar voice, he immediately stood on the stairs and refused to move. "Damn it, this … is this really the rhythm of my ascension?
It's just Star Moon Palace, but acquaintances are appearing one after another. If it's not to settle the karma, why would they all appear here? "
Xiao Hua stood there and waited quietly. Sure enough, after a few breaths, a graceful figure appeared in front of him. Wasn't it Murong Congyun?
Murong Congyun was as graceful as before, but there was a trace of coldness between her beautiful eyebrows. Behind her, there were a few men and women who were around the fifth level of Origin Energy. Although their cultivation was similar to Murong Congyun's, they all lowered their heads and listened to Murong Congyun's reprimand. When Murong Congyun raised her head, she saw Xiao Hua standing there with a faint smile on his face. At first, she was stunned, then her beautiful eyes instantly clouded over. Her body stiffened as she stared at Xiao Hua, unable to say a single word.
"Immortal Friend Murong …" When Xiao Hua saw Murong Congyun's reaction, his heart trembled. He smiled and asked, "We haven't seen each other for many years. How are you?"
"You … You …" Murong Congyun stared at Xiao Hua and breathed with all her might. Her already towering chest heaved up and down. After a moment, she took a deep breath. Rather than saying that she couldn't breathe properly, it would be better to say that she was inhaling the moisture in her eyes. Her mouth slightly stuttered as she asked, "You … Are you really … still alive?"
"Hehe, of course!" Xiao Hua sighed and nodded. "Even if the Chu Family dies, this Xiao won't die!"
"Chu Family …" Murong Congyun smiled. That smile was like a hundred flowers blooming. "I would rather the Chu Family die!
I don't want … "
Murong Congyun looked around and said with a stunned expression, "Go and wait. Do as I say!"
"Yes, this subordinate understands!"
The few Confucian cultivators looked at Xiao Hua in astonishment. They lowered their heads and quickened their pace. They rushed past Xiao Hua and walked down the stairs …
