Chapter 636
Zhang Xiaohua's words were exactly what Lu Lihong had just said. It was ironic that Zhang Xiaohua returned it to him.
But Lu Lihong still didn't give up and begged: "Junior Brother Ren, looking at your martial arts, it should be an inner disciple's immortal technique, you …"
Then his face changed and he covered his mouth: "Ren Shaoxia, I didn't see anything and I don't know why you came to the Fragrant Religion. You don't have to lower yourself to my level, just treat me like a fart and let me go."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled: "Since you know I came to the Fragrant Religion with a purpose, do you think I'll let you go?"
"This …" Lu Lihong hesitated and then begged: "No matter what you came here for, Ren Shaoxia, you're just one person. Although I'm not good at martial arts, I can still be of help. Even if I'm a dog, I can still be useful, right?
Please spare my life, I'll be your dog for the rest of my life! "
Then he took out a small package and handed it to Zhang Xiaohua: "Ren Shaoxia, this is some of the pills I've accumulated and a few spirit herbs. Oh right, the Dragon Scale Fruit you saw last time is also inside. I didn't recognize Mount Tai and offended you, please don't take it to heart."
Zhang Xiaohua's heart moved, but she didn't take the package. She just smiled and said: "Then, can you tell me now, who sent you to kill me?"
"Vice Hall Leader Xu of the Pill Tower Hall. He was the one who sent me?"
"Vice Hall Leader Xu?"
Zhang Xiaohua was not surprised at all. Previously, someone had asked for his Golden Leaf. He guessed that it was a high-ranking member of the Pill Tower Hall. Then, Vice Hall Master Xu had asked him to pick some "Ice Soul Grass" that was hundreds of years old and sent him to the other side of the river. If he still could not guess who it was, then Zhang Xiaohua would not be worthy of being the successor of the Immortal Path.
However, Zhang Xiaohua really didn't understand why Vice Hall Leader Xu wanted to kill her. Was it only because of the golden leaves?
"Then do you know why Vice Hall Leader Xu wants to kill me?"
"This …" Lu Lihong was also at a loss for words. He really didn't know why the high and mighty Deputy Hall Master Xu would kill a little medicine boy from Rejuvenation Valley. Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he said, "Although Deputy Hall Master Xu didn't explain it to me, I think that perhaps Young Hero Ren gave himself away in front of the old man and let him see through your intentions. That's why he decided to kill you."
"Eh?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. How could this be?
She had only seen Vice Hall Leader Xu twice.
Then, he realized that Lu Lihong was eager to survive and wanted to take advantage of every opportunity. At this moment, even if someone asked him to badmouth the Aroma Cult's leader, he would do so without hesitation.
Although Zhang Xiaohua wanted to ask about the Misty Hall, she couldn't tell how reliable Lu Lihong's words were. Moreover, this would expose her purpose, which was extremely unwise.
Therefore … before Zhang Xiaohua could say anything, Lu Lihong immediately said flatteringly: "Ren Shaoxia, don't worry. As long as you let me go, I will go back and ask Vice Hall Leader Xu. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will help you find the truth."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled. The "Orchid Dusk Refinement" wasn't over yet. Lu Lihong hadn't even participated in the outer disciples' trial. How could he bear to go to the White Mountain Peak?
This guy was really good at lying. Moreover, as long as he got out of trouble today, how could she be sure of what would happen in the future?
Heh heh, if Lu Lihong sold her to the Fragrant Religion, would she help him count the copper coins?
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Lu Lihong, but her divine sense scanned his entire body. She paid special attention to his slightly bent left arm, which was holding a bag. She then said softly: "Senior Brother Lu, when you went to Tian Mu Peak previously, you must have wanted to find out more about this little brother."
Lu Lihong said awkwardly: "Heh heh, Junior Brother Ren is indeed wise. This little one was threatened by Old Man Xu and had no choice but to go. It's just that … at that time, I really wanted to find out more about your martial arts. I didn't expect …"
Seeing that Lu Lihong was about to make a fuss, Zhang Xiaohua quickly waved her hand and said: "Since Senior Brother Lu went prepared, you must have known about this little one's situation at Tian Mu Peak."
Lu Lihong didn't know what she meant by this, so he could only brace himself and say: "Heh heh, that's right. This little one is very respectful towards Junior Brother Ren."
"Then you should know how my first battle on Tian Mu Peak was started, right?"
"Of course, wasn't it because that stupid Cheng Shi wanted to take advantage of Ren Shaoxia …"
At this point, Lu Lihong's face turned ashen. He understood the meaning of Zhang Xiaohua's words.
"Yes, you asked me to give you ten times the respect. If you want to kill me, I will take your life."
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua say such ruthless words with a smile, Lu Lihong was stunned. He pointed at Zhang Xiaohua's back and said: "Monkey Hunting Bird?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. Her head naturally turned to the left, but she immediately reacted. But at this moment, Lu Lihong's left arm threw a package at Zhang Xiaohua's face. When Zhang Xiaohua turned around and caught the package, Lu Lihong's left arm moved. A large cluster of steel needles flashing with black light shot towards her face like a swarm of bees!
Looking at the black light of the steel needles, it was obvious that they were dipped in poison. The large cluster of steel needles covered her from head to chest. Presumably, Lu Lihong knew that his palm attack would be ineffective, so he had already targeted her face. Zhang Xiaohua's eyes twitched. Her hesitation from before became even more resolute.
Although the steel needles were powerful, at such a short distance, an ordinary martial arts expert would not be able to guard against them. Unfortunately, this was within the range of Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense. Moreover, she had already noticed the abnormality in Lu Lihong's left arm. Although the steel needles were in front of her in an instant, and although Lu Lihong's eyes were filled with joy, Zhang Xiaohua's fingers moved slightly.
The steel needles flew towards Zhang Xiaohua's eyes and suddenly stopped. It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of Zhang Xiaohua. Then, Zhang Xiaohua looked at them with pity. Her eyes flashed with disappointment and panic. She waved her hand, and the steel needles in the air turned around and shot towards Lu Lihong's face at the same speed as what Zhang Xiaohua had shot.
"Ah?
You … "Lu Lihong, who had seen Zhang Xiaohua's Imperial Wind Technique, still underestimated Zhang Xiaohua's magical power. He never thought that Zhang Xiaohua would be able to break his hidden weapon like this. At the same time, he never thought that he would die under his carefully designed hidden weapon!
The poisonous steel needles were very powerful. They sank into most of Lu Lihong's body. The moment the steel needles touched his body, the poison immediately covered his face like a dark cloud and quickly spread down. However, the poison had no effect because Lu Lihong's face was pierced by hundreds of steel needles. He lost his life at that moment. Even when he died, his eyes did not close.
He died with his eyes open. This … Who on earth was Zhang Xiaohua?
The poison in the steel needles was very strong. In this short period of time, Lu Lihong's face had already festered, and the other parts of his body were gradually affected. "Alas," Zhang Xiaohua sighed. "If I had known this would happen, why would I have racked my brains to enter Wuming Hall?
Why would I have become Deputy Hall Master Xu's lackey? "
"Deputy Hall Master Xu!!!"
Zhang Xiaohua's heart was filled with hatred. He had come to the Fragrant Cult, and he had been honest, planting herbs, and refining pills. He had wanted to keep a low profile and look for his second brother. He had not provoked anyone, so how could he have caught Vice Hall Master Xu's attention?
Not only did he want her Golden Leaf, but he also wanted her life.
Lu Lihong died because he wanted to kill her. But after all, he was instructed by someone. Who was the mastermind behind this?
Did he also want to get the ending he wanted?
It was undeniable that Zhang Xiaohua had already marked Deputy Hall Master Xu's face with a big red cross!
With a cold snort, Zhang Xiaohua glanced at Lu Lihong's corpse and thought, "This poison is so strong. It saved me a lot of effort. Soon, no matter who comes, they will not know that the pride of Pill-Expanding Hall had died here in an extremely disgraceful manner."
Then, Zhang Xiaohua looked at the small package in his left hand. He did not like the things of the dead, but this package was given to him by Lu Lihong before his death. Lu Lihong was a bad person, but he did not distinguish between good and bad things. Anyway, it would be a waste if he did not take it. Zhang Xiaohua was too lazy to check what was in the package. This ruffian actually treated the unripe Dragon Scale Fruit as a treasure. There might not be anything good in it. He threw the package into his money bag and was about to do his business.
Although he wanted to find fault with Deputy Hall Master Xu, he still wanted to find the "Ice Soul Grass". Even if Deputy Hall Master Xu did not find fault with him and asked him to redeem himself, he still wanted to find the main ingredient to refine the "Yuhuandan Pill".
At this moment, his hand touched something in his bosom. It was the belt he found beside the pond in the Youlan Prairie. He took it out and carefully observed it.
It was a five-finger wide belt. From the surface, it was sapphire blue and engraved with wonderful patterns. It looked very comfortable. Needless to say, it would add a lot of color to the waist.
However, this belt was not so simple. When Zhang Xiaohua scanned it with his divine sense, he saw a layer of faint restriction on the belt. This restriction was about to collapse, but from the gap of the restriction, there was a trace of Primordial Qi fluctuation.
Zhang Xiaohua, who had picked up countless "junk" left behind by the Celestial Dao, was now very experienced. He thought for a moment and immediately cast a spell with his right hand. In just a few moves, the restriction was destroyed with a "peng" sound, revealing the true appearance of the belt.
Cough cough, his true appearance was still the belt.
However, the belt flashed with the fluctuations of the World's Essence Qi. When Zhang Xiaohua's Divine Sense once again entered the belt, an expression of disbelief flashed across her face.
