Chapter 4670
"This …" Princess Zi Xia's face was burning hot as she blamed the Lightning Reverend in her heart.
Needless to say, Xiao Hua was the one who ordered the Lightning Reverend to injure Princess Qingqing. However, Princess Zi Xia also understood that Xiao Hua would never allow the Lightning Reverend to do such a despicable thing. If Yu Xiajing's words were true, then it could only be the Lightning Reverend's own matter and had nothing to do with Xiao Hua.
The problem was that the Lightning Reverend was the Fortune Gate's Second Master ah. He represented the Fortune Gate and Xiao Hua.
'What is the Lightning Reverend thinking ah!' Princess Zi Xia grumbled inwardly, 'How could he be bewitched by Qingqing's beauty at such a crucial time?
Did he do such a foolish thing? '
Unfortunately, how could Princess Zi Xia know that the Lightning Reverend was not a complete person ah, let alone know the difference between men and women ah!
"Qingqing is His Majesty's descendant, her status is the same as yours!"
The East Sea Empress scolded, "You are now engaged to the Fortune Gate's First Master, yet you allowed Qingqing to be molested by the Fortune Gate's Second Master. This matter … even if Yu Xiajing was not lying, if others heard it, they would blame it on you!
Zi Xia ah, you have to return Qingqing's innocence, or I won't be able to answer to His Majesty and all the women in the world! "
"Thump!" Princess Zi Xia's heart sank.
The East Sea Empress' words were clear. She had to return Princess Qingqing's innocence, but how?
There were only two ways to return Princess Qingqing's innocence.
The first way was for the Lightning Reverend to commit suicide in front of everyone as an apology!
If the Lightning Reverend ceased to exist, Princess Qingqing's innocence would be preserved!
However, as a Dao Gate's Grand Ascension Stage expert, would the Lightning Reverend commit suicide as an apology?
Who in the world had the ability to kill him?
This path was obviously impossible.
Then, there was only the second way left.
The second way was for the Lightning Reverend to marry Princess Qingqing, and there would be no innocence between husband and wife!
However, from Princess Zi Xia's perspective, how could she allow the Lightning Reverend to marry Princess Qingqing?
After fighting with Princess Qingqing for so many years, she knew Princess Qingqing's methods better than anyone else. How could she allow a scourge like Princess Qingqing to enter the Fortune Gate?
How could she allow Princess Qingqing to share her power in the Fortune Gate?
How could she make things difficult for herself … and then let her happy life fall into a harem fight?
Moreover, Princess Zixia understood that the immortal palace would not give up on annexing and coveting the Fortune Gate just because she had married into the Fortune Gate. Once Princess Qingqing entered the Fortune Gate, and Xiao Hua ascended, the entire Fortune Gate would fall into chaos. At the very least, the Fortune Gate would be divided into two, and Xiao Hua's painstaking efforts would go down the drain.
"Mother …" Princess Zi Xia couldn't help but ask, "Why are you forcing the Boy like this?"
"Force?"
The East Sea Empress smiled faintly. She naturally understood Princess Zi Xia's thoughts and replied, "In Mother's eyes, you are Mother's Princess, and Qingqing is also Mother's Princess. Mother is happy that you have found a husband you like, and Qingqing is also happy that Qingqing has found a husband she likes!"
Hearing this, Princess Zi Xia immediately thought of how Princess Qingqing and Princess Miaomiao were trying to cover things up. She even thought of Princess Qingqing's shame and anger when she heard that she had been bestowed the title of Princess Zi Xia. That kind of shame and anger was not because she had been bestowed the title of Princess Zi Xia, but because she had found her husband first!
Moreover, Princess Qingqing also understood that she would definitely stop her and the Lightning Reverend from getting together. That little bit of affection in her heart would definitely come to an end!
"Xin Xin, you have your own happiness, and Qingqing also has her own happiness. You can't stop Qingqing's happiness because of your own happiness!"
The East Sea Empress said with a smile, "Moreover, you have no right to stop Qingqing from finding her own happiness!"
The East Sea Empress's words were very dignified, but in Princess Zi Xia's ears, they were ear-piercing!
As a mother, it was absolutely natural for her to make such plans for her daughter. However, if an Empress were to make such plans for her own princess, then … there were too many implications!
When familial love met power, familial love could only turn into snow under the sun, especially the princess of the Immortal Palace.
In an instant, Princess Zi Xia made a decision. Even if Princess Qingqing really fell in love with the Lightning Reverend, she would absolutely not let this marriage be consummated!
It had to be said that Princess Zi Xia's decision was just as Princess Qingqing had expected.
"Empress …" Just as Princess Zi Xia was about to speak, "Dang, dang, dang …" Outside the Emerald Sky Pavilion, nine bell tolls rang out. As the sound passed, the outline of the entire Emerald Sky Pavilion turned into lines. These lines then shattered, turning into inscriptions of armor. The inscriptions of armor scattered all over the place, and in a moment, they turned into a part of the jade.
The East Sea Empress said no more. She stood up and said, "The Jade Pool Gathering is about to begin. I will go and preside over the Jade Pool. All of you wait here. Except for Zi Xia, who is different from before, everyone else has their own seats according to etiquette."
"Yes, Empress!"
Seeing that the Jade Pool Gathering was about to begin, even Princess Zi Xia didn't dare to delay. Everyone stood up and respectfully answered.
Seeing the Empress leave, Princess Miaomiao looked at Princess Zi Xia, then at Yu Xiajing, and said to Yu Xiajing, "Go and see Princess Qingqing for me!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Yu Xiajing agreed. After bowing to Princess Zi Xia, she led Princess Miaomiao away.
Meanwhile, Bi 'an flew over. Looking at the unfriendly Princess Zi Xia, she whispered, "Your Highness …"
Princess Zi Xia didn't pay attention to Bi 'an. Instead, she looked at the Empress' back with narrowed eyes. No one knew what she was thinking. After half a cup of tea's time, she waved her hand and said, "Let's go …"
Bi 'an didn't know what happened, but when she saw Princess Miaomiao and Yu Xiajing flying away, she understood that it must have something to do with Princess Qing Qing. She didn't dare to ask and followed Princess Zixia.
Xiao Hua, Celestial Being, and Thunderclap Immortal entered Lingyun Side Palace under the escort of the crowd and the demonic beasts. What greeted them was a huge dome of heaven. Above the dome of heaven, the sun, the moon, and the stars were scattered all over like flags. Sunlight poured down from the sun and the moon.
However, the brilliance of the sun and moon couldn't cover the brilliance of the stars. Hundreds of millions of stars followed the sun and moon across the sky, revealing mysterious trajectories. At the same time, waves of obscure fluctuations fell from the sky and rippled through the entire palace!
Below the palace was a boundless land. On the land, there were many mountain ranges. Some extended horizontally, some fell vertically. The crisscrossing paths formed huge squares. These squares were like farmlands. However, there were no crops in the farmlands, but cities and villages.
The scenery within each square was different. As Xiao Hua's gaze swept across, he felt as if he had seen through the world of mortals.
"Amitabha!" Namo Dipankara Archaic Buddha's familiar chanting voice resounded from a distance away.
Similarly, beside Namo Dipankara Archaic Buddha, Namo Maitreya, who had left some time ago, also chanted. "Namo Maitreya!"
When Xiao Hua saw the Maitreya Buddha World Honored One, he was shocked. Indeed, he had always thought that the Maitreya Buddha World Honored One was still on Shenhua Continent and had not come out. Even when the Maitreya Buddha World Honored One had said that he would leave quietly, he did not care at all. Who knew that … the Maitreya Buddha World Honored One's cultivation was actually so powerful!
"Amitabha …" Xiao Hua didn't dare to be negligent. He put his palms together and said, "Disciple greets the two Revered Worlds!"
"You don't have to be so courteous, Lord Guan Yin!"
The Dipankara Archaic Buddha was very satisfied. He raised his hand and helped Xiao Hua up, "Although you're my Buddhism's Namo Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, you're still not my Thunder Sound Temple's Arhat. You don't have to greet me as a disciple!"
"I wouldn't dare!"
Xiao Hua said respectfully, "Since disciple has attained the Buddha Fruit, I should understand the meaning of this Buddha Fruit. I should face the world's past and future. Otherwise, what's the meaning of this Buddha Fruit?"
"Amitabha, amitabha!" The Dipankara Archaic Buddha chanted and stepped aside.
"Namo Maitreya!"
Namo Maitreya stepped forward and said, "Previously, when I called you Xiao Danyue and went through life and death with you, I felt that you had wisdom and could become my Buddhism's disciple.
However, I didn't expect Danyue to attain the Buddha Fruit of my Buddhism. Congratulations! "
"Now that you've said so, disciple feels even more ashamed!" Xiao Hua smiled and said, "If it weren't for your advice, disciple wouldn't have known the true essence of Buddhism."
"You're wrong, Revered World!"
Namo Maitreya said seriously, "Buddha is in everyone's heart. As long as you're merciful and treat the world well, you'll be able to see your own Buddha.
What I can do … is only to tell you how to see Buddha. As for whether you can attain the Buddha Fruit, that's up to you! "
"Namo Maitreya!" Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Disciple understands!"
"It's good that you've understood. Amitabha, amitabha!" Namo Maitreya stood by the side and said a few words to Xiao Hua in his heart.
Then, Xiao Hua, Namo Wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva behind the Dipankara Archaic Buddha World Exalted and Namo Maitreya Bodhisattva Samantabhadra behind the Namo Maitreya Bodhisattva. After greeting each other, they looked toward the main seat of the hall.
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound resounded from the hall. Four mountain peaks shot out from the ground. Following the appearance of the mountain peaks, the ground began to change. Cities and villages were constantly changing, and the men and women within were also being destroyed!
Even in the sky, at the top of the four mountain peaks, four layers of clouds that resembled foothills appeared. These clouds changed along with the mountain peaks' protrusion!
After the rumbling sound disappeared, the mountain peaks stopped moving. They landed right under the feet of the Demon Race, Dragon Race, Buddhist Sect, and Confucian cultivators!
As the Golden-Winged Great Roc and the Mystic Armored Pentaceratops landed, another layer of demonic clouds rushed out from the peak of the mountain and landed at the foot of the mountain. In an instant, the entire mountain peak transformed into a monstrous Demon Race. This Demon Race had eight arms and eight legs. Their eight legs stood firmly on the ground like boulders. The eight arms were raised respectfully, lifting the two Great Sages of the Great Sage Hall into the air.
Looking at the Dragon Island's Second Elder Ao Yi and the Dragon King Ao Qian of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, they landed on the mountain peak. "Whoosh …" The same layer of dragon qi descended from the peak of the mountain and instantly covered the entire mountain peak. The mountain peak transformed into a huge Black Tortoise, supporting the two Dragons.
"Clang, clang, clang …" A series of knocking sounds resounded from another mountain peak. At the place where the Maitreya Buddha World Lord and the Dipankara Archaic Buddha World Lord landed, a faint Buddhist light descended, transforming the entire mountain peak into a lotus platform.
On top of the three transmogrified mountain peaks, thick chains of inscriptions descended like flood dragons, letting out rumbling sounds. When the grand qi was retracted, an indomitable scroll appeared beneath Immortal Emperor Gou Chen and Dongfang Qionghao's feet, supporting them there.
The four mountain peaks transformed separately. Only Xiao Hua, the Thunderbolt Immortal, and the Heavenly Being stood there quietly. There was no mountain peak beneath their feet.
Xiao Hua didn't show any abnormalities. He only looked at Immortal Emperor Gou Chen with a smile on his face.
"I don't know how many years it has been since a Daoist cultivator entered Lingyun Side Hall …" Immortal Emperor Gou Chen said with a smile, "I didn't expect to see a mortal enemy of Confucian cultivators in my Lingyun Side Hall!
Now that I'm facing Master Xiao, I can't help but feel a sense of absurdity in my heart!
To be honest, Master Xiao, if it were someone else, I wouldn't hesitate to use the power of thunder to kill you right now!
I believe … even if Master Xiao has reached the Exalt Realm, you still can't face the combined forces of the Confucian cultivators, the Dragon Race, the Demon Race, and the Buddhist Sect, right? "
Xiao Hua raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't show any signs of panic on his face. He only smiled faintly and said, "I admit that what Your Majesty said is the truth!
I even know that even without the help of the Demon Race's Great Sage, the Dragon Race's Elder, and the two Exalts of the Buddhist Sect, Your Majesty can still kill me!
Hmm, maybe Your Majesty dealt with the Primordial Chaos Ancestor like this?
However, if Your Majesty wants to deal with me, then … you must be prepared to be killed. I believe that after Your Majesty makes a move, there's a possibility of you being killed by others!
Don't you think so, Dongfang Family Head? "
Dongfang Qiong Hao didn't seem to be embarrassed. He smiled and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking.
I only know that since Enlightened Master Xiao is a Confucian cultivator and is also our Master Xiao, I didn't know the inside story and was blinded by greed. I wanted to attack Master Xiao.
But who would've thought that not only was I unable to defeat Master Xiao, but I also fell into Your Majesty's trap. Therefore, not only my Dongfang Family, but the entire Four Great Families have made a decision. As long as Master Xiao is alive, the Four Great Families will never attack Master Xiao! "
"What about after I ascend?" Xiao Hua asked with a faint smile.
"Who knows what will happen in the future?"
Dongfang Qiong Hao shrugged and looked at Immortal Emperor Gou Chen. He also replied with a faint smile, "When the militarists entered the Immortal Palace, they probably didn't expect today's situation, right?"
"Cough cough …" Immortal Emperor Gou Chen coughed twice and smiled. "This is the secret of our Confucian cultivators. How can we use it as a joke?"
"Haha, Your Majesty, you're considered the leader of the militarists. How can you not even … know how to use words?
How can you use the word 'joke' here? "Dongfang Qiong Hao laughed and refuted Immortal Emperor Gou Chen.
"The human race has always been like this!"
The Profound Armored Penta-Horned Dragon calmly interrupted. "They can't stand others being stronger than them. Whenever there's an opportunity, they'll use it to suppress others.
I think the Four Great Families can't stand the militarists occupying the Immortal Palace. That's why they came up with a new plan, right? "
Hearing the Profound Armored Penta-Horned Dragon's words, Xiao Hua looked at Immortal Emperor Gou Chen and Dongfang Qiong Hao, who seemed to be united on the outside but were actually at odds with each other. He then looked at the Dipankara Archaic Buddha and the Maitreya Buddha on the Buddha Lotus. Finally, Xiao Hua's gaze landed on Ao Yi and the Dragon King of the East Sea, who were both suspicious and fearful of each other. He lamented in his heart, "Hehe, this era … is the best era for Daoism to rise. I'm lucky to be in this era and be able to stand at the peak of Supremacy with my Daoism cultivation!
This era is also the worst era!
Disasters are happening everywhere. Now, the apocalypse is coming. If we don't deal with it carefully, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this! "
"Dragon Sage, you're wrong!"
The Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Qian, smiled. "It's not just the human race. Some of the Demon Race and Dragon Race do the same!"
"That's right, that's right!"
The Profound Armored Penta-Horned Dragon mocked. "I heard that some of the Dragon Race have even been conferred titles by the Immortal Palace. No wonder the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas is causing so much trouble!"
"The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas is much less troublesome than the Great Sage Palace!"
Ao Qian retorted without holding back. "No matter what, the Dragon Race of the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas … is still subordinate to the Dragon Palace of the Dragon Island!"
"Roar …" The Profound Armored Penta-Horned Dragon's roar shook the heavens. The space around the mountain where the Demon Race was located suddenly collapsed and spread rapidly in all directions!
Of course, this spatial collapse only reached the edge of the mountain where the Demon Race was located. It was blocked by a layer of invisible restrictions. Pieces of inscriptions fell from the restrictions like scraps of paper!
"Amitabha Buddha. Excellent, excellent!"
The Dipankara Archaic Buddha's World Lord chanted, "Dear Transcendents, the reason why we've gathered here today is to discuss how to deal with the omen of World Destruction. Why have you started a conflict before we've even spoken?"
"Haha, the Dipankara Archaic Buddha is right."
The Gou Chen Immortal Emperor laughed. "Today, the Three Great Continents' Supreme Cultivators are gathered here at the Lingyun Side Hall. How can we speak without thinking?
This happened because of me. I should apologize to Master Xiao.
Come, announce my decree! "
Then, the Great General of the Sun Palace, Sun Jian, appeared in the middle of the hall. He held a decree in his hand and started reciting, "Ancestors, Fortune Gate's Xiao Hua …"
This decree was exactly the same as the one the East Sea Empress gave to Princess Zixia. After everyone heard it, different expressions appeared on their faces.
However, these expressions only lasted for a moment, and no one could see them clearly.
Hearing this, Xiao Hua was a bit dumbfounded. This decree came too suddenly, exceeding Xiao Hua's expectations.
Naturally, he was overjoyed. However, many thoughts flashed through his mind, such as Xue Xue, Fairy Jing, Fairy Hong Xia, Jiu Xia, and even Huang Mengxiang. After a while, he smiled bitterly. "Damn it. The Dawn Rain Continent has a Red Cloud, and the Hidden Immortal Continent has a Purple Cloud. Does that mean there's a Green Cloud in the Immortal World?
Another Rosy Cloud in the Divine World?
I've refined the Seven Colors Bone. I'm going to fight against Rosy Cloud for the rest of my life! "
"Haha, congratulations Dragon Master Xiao, congratulations!"
The Golden-Winged Great Roc laughed. "I thought the Jade Pool Gathering today was a Hongmen Banquet. Who would've thought it would be a wedding? I'll have to toast Master Xiao a few more times!"
The Golden-Winged Great Roc congratulated from the bottom of his heart. However, the others' congratulations were different. While they were congratulating him, they were also secretly cursing the Gou Chen Immortal Emperor for his sinister methods!
Just a moment ago, he said he wanted to kill Xiao Hua, but in a moment, he married his Ninth Princess to Xiao Hua and pulled Xiao Hua into the Immortal Palace.
Xiao Hua rubbed his nose as he looked at everyone's congratulations, and he laughed bitterly. "Thank you, Fellow Daoists. However, I haven't even been able to sit on a seat after arriving at the Soaring Cloud Pavilion. Looks like His Majesty hasn't been at ease with me!
Moreover, I'm afraid everyone knows what the Nine Provinces Great Formation is. However, who knows when I'll have the strength to set it up?
I'm afraid His Majesty has painted a big picture for me! "
"Master Xiao Lei, could it be that you're not satisfied with my arrangement?" The Gou Chen Immortal Emperor pretended to be angry. "If it doesn't work, I'll take back this decree!"
"Sigh!"
Xiao Hua said helplessly. "His Majesty has placed a new happiness in front of me. How can I not accept it?"
At this moment, Xiao Hua also understood why the Gou Chen Immortal Emperor didn't release the Daoist Gate's mountain first. Instead, he waited for Xiao Hua to accept the decree.
Sure enough, following Xiao Hua's agreement, a green mountain appeared beneath Xiao Hua and the others. Whoosh … Just as Xiao Hua, the Thunderbolt Immortal, and the Heavenly Being stepped onto the mountain, several bolts of lightning descended from the top of the mountain. In an instant, the entire mountain transformed into a massive lightning bolt, lifting the three Grand Ascension Stage Daoist Gate's Grand Ascension Stage cultivators into the air!
At this moment, the five mountain peaks were arranged in the shape of five stars under the dome of the sky. The fluctuations within the Lingyun Side Hall gradually calmed down, and the five stars gradually reached a balance.
Seeing Xiao Hua, the Thunderbolt Immortal, and the Heavenly Being sitting on top of the lightning bolts, the Gou Chen Immortal Emperor looked around and exchanged a glance with the Dipankara Immortal Buddha and Ao Yi. He then looked at Xiao Hua and said with a smile, "Master Xiao Lei, to be honest, the Nine Provinces Great Formation is the Immortal Defense Formation of our Heavenly Court. It's not something that can be set up by ordinary cultivators!
In fact, it wouldn't be easy for nine Supremes of the same cultivation to set it up!
However, Master Xiao Lei might not be able to set it up, but Master Xiao Lei can ask … your Daoist Gate's seniors to help set it up.
My decree didn't say that you can't ask for help! "
'Sure enough, Xinxin was right!'
Xiao Hua thought to himself, Although not every Supreme-Being cultivator knows about the existence of Xu Zhi and Fairy Xing Yue, Immortal Emperor Gou Chen, the Elders of Dragon Island, and the two Buddhist Lords of the Buddhist Sect must know!
When they first joined forces to deal with the Grandmist Ancestor, they might not have been able to kill him. They were only afraid of angering Xu Zhi, which was why they suppressed the Grandmist Ancestor!
Now, I've appeared out of nowhere and surpassed the Grandmist Ancestor in one fell swoop. They also see me as Xu Zhi's disciple!
In particular, I have a close relationship with Xu Zhi and Fairy Xing Yue in the Star Moon Palace. The disciples of the four great families know about it. Even if the four Patriarchs didn't know about it before, they know about it now!
Therefore, they don't dare to force me too much! "
Since Immortal Emperor Gou Chen didn't point it out, Xiao Hua simply pretended to be confused. He asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?
Which Daoist Gate's seniors can I ask for help? "
Immortal Emperor Gou Chen raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Master Xiao Lei, could it be …"
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you're talking about!" Xiao Hua refused to admit it.
"Hehe …" Immortal Emperor Gou Chen replied, "Master Xiao Lei, do you think that every Confucian family is as stupid as the Changsun Family and Yuwen Shi?
Provoking Zhai Xing Lou for no reason?
This is the information I obtained about the Star Moon Palace. Take a look and you'll understand! "
Immortal Emperor Gou Chen raised his hand and pointed. A book-like jade eye appeared in front of Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua took the jade eye and a light flashed in his eyes. His expression changed greatly!
This was because the jade eye recorded the matter of Xu Zhi and Fairy Xing Yue very clearly. Some of it was known to Xiao Hua, and some of it was unknown to him!
In other words … these were things that Xu Zhi and Fairy Xing Yue deliberately concealed!
After the jade eye, there were also records of Xiao Hua and Xu Zhi's experiences in the Star Moon Palace. Wherever there were people, there were records.
During the period when Xiao Hua and Xu Zhi were separated, Xu Zhi and Fairy Xing Yue's actions were also clearly recorded!
In other words, there were still spies of the Immortal Palace among the disciples who had been selected by Xu Zhi and Fairy Xing Yue.
"Alas!"
Xiao Hua sighed and put away the light. He smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "Even Immortals … are only individuals. In terms of combat power, no one in the three continents can compare to them!
But in terms of other things, they can't compare to an organization!
Even the Star Moon Palace established by Fairy Xing Yue … can't compare to the Immortal Palace! "
"How is it?" Immortal Emperor Gou Chen said with a smile, "At this point, Master Xiao Lei can speak frankly, right?"
"Since we're here, does Your Majesty not know what happened?" Xiao Hua returned the jade eye to Immortal Emperor Gou Chen and replied thoughtfully, "You still have to ask me?"
"Of course I don't know what happened!" Immortal Emperor Gou Chen said word by word, "Otherwise, I wouldn't ask you!
After the disappearance of the Star Moon Palace, these two seniors had never appeared again.
Tell me, how can I be at ease? "
"Haha, so Your Majesty doesn't know what happened!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "I thought Your Majesty was investigating the world with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror!"
"Master Xiao Lei!"
Immortal Emperor Gou Chen said with some displeasure, "At this point, I've already given you all the glory that I can give you!
Can't I wait for you to tell me the truth? "
Xiao Hua shrugged and replied, "Your Majesty, didn't I say it before?
I don't know when I'll have the strength to set up this big array.
Naturally, it's impossible for me to ask the seniors of the Dao Sect to help me! "
"Are you sure?" Immortal Emperor Gou Chen asked worriedly.
Xiao Hua frowned and thought for a moment, thinking about the pros and cons of telling the truth.
In fact, the existence of the Immortals might be the reason why the Confucian cultivators didn't dare to kill the Dao Sect's cultivators too openly, or it might be the reason why the Immortals, Buddhas, and Demons suppressed the Grandmist Ancestor, or it might be the reason why they were patient with him. But in the end, these were all possibilities!
The Immortals were only a temporary deterrent, the most important thing … was to have strength!
Xiao Hua might not be able to fight against the Immortal Palace, Buddhist Sect, and Demon Clan, but against any one of them, the Fortune Gate wouldn't be at a complete disadvantage. Therefore, the presence of the Immortals didn't matter much!
Moreover, the Immortals didn't show up, so how could Immortal Emperor Gou Chen not know that the two Immortals had left?
Even if he deliberately hid it, he couldn't!
Therefore, Xiao Hua raised his head, looked at Immortal Emperor Gou Chen, and nodded with certainty.
Unexpectedly, Immortal Emperor Gou Chen didn't feel relieved as Xiao Hua thought. Instead, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he sighed, "Sigh …"
Xiao Hua didn't know if Immortal Emperor Gou Chen's sigh was fake, but he at least knew that because of Xu Zhi and Fairy Xing Yue's departure, Immortal Emperor Gou Chen's plan to use him to set up the Nine Provinces Great Formation had failed.
Of course, Xiao Hua also believed that with Immortal Emperor Gou Chen's scheming mind, he would never place his bet on the Immortals. After all, he had other plans.
Sure enough, after Immortal Emperor Gou Chen finished speaking, he looked at Ao Yi and the Dipankara Archaic Buddha, then lowered his head and didn't say anything, as if he was transmitting something.
At this time, the Lingyun Side Palace was silent again. Even the strong Golden-Winged Great Roc felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask Xiao Hua a few words, but when he thought of how close Xiao Hua was now to the Immortal Palace, he wondered if he should avoid something!
It had to be said that Immortal Emperor Gou Chen's decree suddenly brought the relationship between the Immortal Palace and the Fortune Gate very close.
"Oh …" Seeing Immortal Emperor Gou Chen pondering, Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this Xiao has something to tell you."
"Oh?
What is it? "Immortal Emperor Gou Chen was slightly puzzled by Xiao Hua's seriousness." Thunder Master Xiao, please speak! "
"Cough cough, Your Majesty, the Star Plucking Tower is now my Fortune Gate's property!"
Xiao Hua coughed and smiled. "Moreover, in order to express my feelings to Princess Zixia, this Xiao … has even handed the Star Plucking Tower over to Princess Zixia to manage!"
"Ah?"
Immortal Emperor Gou Chen was obviously stunned. However, in the next instant, he smiled and said, "Thunder Master Xiao is indeed a great man with deep feelings. This Emperor admires you from the bottom of his heart!"
"Damn it, what great man? He must have been discussing with Ao Yi and the Dipankara Archaic Buddha about how to divide the Stars and Moons, right?
Now that he knows that the Star Plucking Tower has been given to Xin Xin, he immediately changed his attitude! "
Xiao Hua cursed inwardly. "Oh, this Xiao understands now. This guy only mentioned Immortals but didn't ask about the Star Plucking Tower … Could it be that he intends to interfere?
Damn it, this Xiao shouldn't have said that. When he interferes, I'll teach him a lesson! "
Just as Immortal Emperor Gou Chen finished speaking, Dongfang Qionghao seized the opportunity and said, "Haha, if that's the case, the Yuwen Clan and the Zhangsun Clan should be warned. Their hands have stretched too far!"
Hearing Dongfang Qionghao's words, Xiao Hua suddenly understood. The black-clothed men he met in the Star Plucking Tower in front of the Crimson Earth River were the Tower Lords of the Star Plucking Tower who were preparing to betray him. It turned out that they were instigated by the Yuwen Clan and the Zhangsun Clan to betray him!
However, thinking about it, it made sense. Powerful clans like the Immortal Palace and the Four Great Clans might know of Fairy Xing Yue's origins, so they naturally wouldn't harbor any thoughts of doing anything to her. The Yuwen Clan and the Zhangsun Clan were only first-rate clans. Seeing how prosperous the Star Plucking Tower was, it was inevitable that they would covet it!
"Haha …" Immortal Emperor Gou Chen sneered, "Who dares to covet the Star Plucking Tower under my Ninth Princess's control?"
"That's good!" Xiao Hua smiled and said, "This saves my Fortune Gate from taking action!"
Immortal Emperor Gou Chen then transmitted a few words to the Dragon Island's Second Elder, as if they were discussing something.
Xiao Hua frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if possible … should we invite the Grandmist Ancestor to the Lingyun Side Palace?
Although his forces aren't too strong, we need to discuss how to deal with the apocalypse. His Sky Bearing Palace might be able to help! "
Immortal Emperor Gou Chen stopped and looked at Xiao Hua with surprise. He smiled and said, "Master Xiao Lei, could it be that you think the Jade Pupil that brat Grandmist Ancestor took out is his true strength?"
Xiao Hua shrugged, his face indifferent as he replied, "Then how much strength you bring out has nothing to do with this Xiao!
This Xiao doesn't put him in my eyes at all!
This Xiao only feels that … everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. He should also bear some responsibility for the survival of the three continents!
Moreover, he is still a member of my Dao Gate and is this Xiao's senior. This Xiao feels that he has the qualifications to stand here! "
"Good!"
The Golden Roc cheered, "Master Xiao Long, it seems like you are still the Master Xiao in this Sage's eyes!
You are not the kind of person who forgets his friends for a girl! "
"Forgets his friends for a girl?"
Xiao Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the Golden Roc and said, "Sage Peng, is this Xiao so unbearable?"
"How can you not be!"
The Golden Roc shouted, "Old Gou Chen is Master Lei and stuffed his daughter into your arms. You even helped him escape from the Longevity Town. How can you say …"
"Cough cough …" Without waiting for the Golden Roc to finish, Dongfang Qiong Hao coughed twice and said, "Sage Peng, the past is the past. Don't mention it again!"
"Haha …" The Golden Roc laughed and shouted, "Indeed, indeed!
If this Sage was suppressed, he would definitely kill all his enemies after escaping!
Then, he would enter the Great Sage Hall openly!
However, the human race is a little strange. Look at that brat Hong Meng. Back then, he was played by us until he was * * * * * * *. Now that he has escaped, he doesn't repent and keeps coming here!
Do you think he's tired of living?
Could it be that he wants to be stuffed into the eye of the sea? "
"Sage Peng is wrong!" Ao Yi said with a smile, "There was indeed a reason why I didn't kill him back then.
Today, Hong Meng dared to come to the Lingyun Side Hall. Naturally, he has something to rely on! "
"Isn't it just that his strength has reached the peak of the three continents?" The Golden Roc sneered, "If I'm not happy, I will still kill him!"
"The Yin-Yang Illustration Handbook!" The Mystic Armored Pentagram smiled bitterly, "Sage Peng, have you forgotten about this treasure?
This brat Hong Meng can be considered a genius. He actually refined the treasure that suppressed him. Now, even if you want to kill him, it won't be easy! "
"There's also Xiao Longshi!" Ao Qian, the Lord of the East Sea Dragon Palace, said with a smile, "This brat Hong Meng has a good idea!
He and Xiao Longshi are both from the human Dao Sect. As long as Xiao Longshi is here, Xiao Longshi will definitely not let anyone touch him!
Furthermore, I am certain that the disciples of the Sky Bearing Palace Hall have already been sent to every corner of the Hidden Immortal Continent. If anything happens to Hong Meng.
If news of Xiao Longshi colluding with Immortal Emperor Gou Chen and working together to kill the cultivators of the Dao Sect will definitely spread. Plus, with the matter of Xiao Longshi and Princess Zixia, who won't believe this rumor?
At that time, not only will Xiao Longshi's reputation be damaged, even the Immortal Emperor will be implicated. Maybe … some stories will even spread! "
"Hmph …" Immortal Emperor Gou Chen snorted, "Hong Meng's strength is nothing, but his scheming is a hundred times stronger than Xiao Longshi's. Xiao Longshi, you must be careful!"
"Hahaha …" Dongfang Qiong Hao laughed and pointed at Immortal Emperor Gou Chen, "Your Majesty, Xiao Hua is a Daoist Mahayana Realm cultivator!
He is an enemy of us Confucian cultivators, but this old official … can't hear any hostility from your words! "
"Minister Dongfang, you are also a Confucian cultivator and an important official of the Immortal Palace. How about this, this Emperor will order you to lead the Dongfang Family, no, lead the disciples of the four great clans to attack the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range. What do you think?" Immortal Emperor Gou Chen asked with a faint smile.
Dongfang Qiong Hao didn't hesitate and said seriously, "Of course!
However … back then, when we suppressed Hong Meng, we had to involve the Demon Race and the Buddhist Sect. Today, the Fortune Gate is much stronger than Hong Meng. This old official wants to ask for Your Majesty's favor. In the Soaring Cloud Side Palace, we will attack together with the Great Sage Hall, Thunder Sound Temple, and the Dragon Island and Exquisite Temple! "
Dongfang Qiong Hao and the others' words were full of ridicule, but in fact, there was a hint of flattery. This was extremely rare from the supreme cultivators of the three continents!
Of course, this wasn't only because of Xiao Hua's strength. It was also because the current situation was very delicate. Immortal Emperor Gou Chen took the initiative and used Princess Zixia to win over Xiao Hua.
If the Dongfang Family, the Dragon Race, and the Demon Race wanted to win over Xiao Hua, they had to do it from another angle. Otherwise, the balance of the three continents would be disrupted, and who knew which side would suffer?
However, Xiao Hua's mind wasn't here. He frowned and said, "Everyone, this Xiao has already said that the Fortune Gate is the same as the Xiao Country. It will never be a hegemon. As long as this Xiao is here, I will restrain my disciples. You don't have to worry!
Now … the three continents are showing signs of the end of the world. Strange insects have appeared at the borders of the three continents and will soon sweep towards the central region. We don't have much time left!
If we don't discuss a suitable countermeasure, the three continents … will be in danger! "
"Amitabha, Lord Guan Yin …" The Dipankara Archaic Buddha smiled and said, "You keep saying that the world is showing signs of the end of the world, but … have you really seen the end of the world?"
"This …" Xiao Hua was at a loss for words. Of course, he couldn't say that he had seen the end of the world in the Ruins!
"If that brat Primordial Meng was here, he definitely wouldn't rush us like this, nor would he say such things!" Dongfang Qionghao smiled and said, "He only knows how to wait!
Only by waiting … will there be benefits! "
