Chapter 653

"This …" Senior Sister Xia frowned and didn't know how to answer. She had already tactfully expressed her thoughts, but Junior Brother Zhao was still stubborn. What else could she say?

So, she could only ask, "Then according to Junior Brother Zhao, what should we do next?"

"Wait!" Junior Brother Zhao said confidently, "Wait until they are far away, then we'll make our move."

"Senior Sister Xia, I'll have to trouble you to inform the other brothers to rest at ease. When the time is right, we'll go down the mountain to search for treasures!"

"Alright, Junior Brother Zhao should also rest and recover his energy."

Senior Sister Xia helplessly walked out.

Compared to the fierce beasts that Chen Chen and the others faced, Zhang Xiaohua was abnormally relaxed. A few vultures and badger pigs foraging for food in Hancui Ridge were just a warm-up dish for him. In fact, Zhang Xiaohua should still thank Chen Chen for the signal. If it wasn't for this signal that led the birds and beasts in Youlan Grand Canyon to their side, it would have been difficult for Zhang Xiaohua to protect the nine people safely.

Indeed, just like before, four badger pigs rushed toward the carriage at the same time. Although Zhang Xiaohua's figure was fast, he could only cut down three of them in a short time. The last one almost bit the last horse pulling the carriage. If Zhang Xiaohua hadn't been quick-witted and used the small sword as a "hidden weapon", the last carriage would have had to be abandoned.

At night, the stars twinkled and the full moon shone high in the sky.

Zhang Xiaohua led everyone to a slightly wide mountain ridge and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Lu, let's stop here for today. It's time to rest."

"Huh?"

Lu Chaoyun was a little surprised and said, "Junior Brother Ren, our time is precious. If we don't need to rest, then don't rest. Let's take advantage of the night when there are no fierce beasts attacking and continue for a while."

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua didn't speak, he said, "Even if we need to rest, we still need to walk for a while. We're not tired now."

Zhang Xiaohua sighed and said, "Senior Martial Brother Lu, you're not tired, but this little brother is. It's going to be midnight soon, so you should let this little brother have a good sleep before midnight, right?"

When Lu Chaoxian heard this, he hurriedly jumped off the carriage and apologized, "Aiyo, Junior Brother Ren, please don't blame me. I was only thinking about myself and forgot about you. You were exploring and protecting us during the day. You were really exhausted."

When Senior Brother Wang and the others heard this, they hurriedly alighted from the carriage and directed the tents to be set up again.

Looking at the tents that had been set up, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Senior Brothers, just like before, all of you will stay in the tents and bring the horses in. I will help you guard outside. I guarantee that nothing will be able to hurt you."

Lu Chaoxian nodded and said, "We naturally believe Junior Brother Ren's words. It's just that the Outer Sanctum's reputation is high. Won't Junior Brother be with us?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and said, "There's no need. I can rest outside and keep watch at night. It's just right."

Then, she looked at the other Senior Brothers who were about to enter the tents and said in a low voice, "Senior Martial Brother Lu, I'm sure you're all wondering why the ferocious beasts didn't enter the tents to eat you at night?"

When Senior Martial Brother Lu heard this, he laughed and said, "I won't hide it from Junior Martial Brother. I was so scared last night that I didn't have time to think about anything. It was only when I escaped with my life that I thought about it. It's just that, the reason …"

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said, "You don't need to know the reason. What you all need to do now is to think of a foolproof plan to make our Hall Master believe that we didn't rely on this tent to escape the attack of the ferocious beasts."

Then, her tone became stern. "I saved everyone on account of the fact that we're all Senior Martial Brothers of Tian Mu Peak. I don't want anyone to repay kindness with enmity. Otherwise, even if I don't leave now, once we reach Tian Mu Peak, with my methods, I'm sure Senior Martial Brother Lu will know what will happen!"

Lu Chaoxian shuddered slightly. To be honest, he was finding it harder to see through this Junior Martial Brother. Previously, he felt that he could be compared to Chen Fengxiao, Head Master Chen. Then, he felt that he could be compared to Lu Lihong, Senior Martial Brother Lu. But today, looking at him, he was not inferior to the outstanding outer disciples. Furthermore, he had a secret that could prevent the ferocious beasts from entering the tents. This … who could he be compared to?

Perhaps an inner disciple. But Lu Chaoxian didn't have the qualifications to meet an inner disciple. He couldn't make a direct comparison!

Lu Chaoxian bowed deeply and said respectfully, "Junior Martial Brother Ren saved the lives of the eight of us. Even if we're worse than pigs and dogs, we will definitely not reveal this matter.

Well, I've thought about it on the way. I'll discuss it with them later and unify our statements. Tomorrow morning, I'll definitely give Junior Martial Brother a satisfactory answer. "

Zhang Xiaohua didn't return the salute. She just smiled and said, "Well said, well said. I know Senior Martial Brother Lu must have a good idea."

After that, she invited Lu Chaoxian to return to the tent. She took out a rush cushion and sat cross-legged in front of the tent, closing her eyes and saying nothing.

When it was almost midnight, Zhang Xiaohua cast a restriction on the tent and around her rush cushion. Then, she began to cultivate. The essence of the world in Hancui Ridge was more abundant than usual. The starlight was also dense. It was a great place for cultivation.

In the place where Chen Chen and Zixia were, after an afternoon of hard fighting, the flock of birds and beasts were finally wiped out. There were no major casualties among the inner disciples. Only a few disciples were slightly injured. They had the "Yuhuandan Pill" to heal their wounds, so the minor injuries were nothing.

Although the outer disciples were in the inner circle and only dealt with ordinary beasts, there were still many disciples who lost their lives. It wasn't until night came that they could take a breather and tidy up their terrible mood.

Night had fallen. The disciples of the Fragrance Cult gathered together. The inner disciples were in the inner circle, quietly adjusting their breathing. The fighting during the day was very shameful. Although it consumed a lot of internal energy, it also had an impact on the improvement of their martial arts. They recovered their physical strength and internal energy while absorbing and digesting what they had gained today. It had to be said that it was also a way of cultivation.

The outer disciples were on guard outside. The campsite was surrounded by bonfires. Their whereabouts had been exposed, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered by the birds and beasts. The light of the fire would make it easier for the other disciples to find them.

At midnight, another four inner court disciples and ten outer court disciples arrived.

In another place, in the dark, a voice asked, "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, why did you call me here?"

Junior Martial Brother Zhao smiled and said, "It's late. I'm sorry to disturb Senior Martial Sister Xia's rest."

"It's okay. I rested enough during the day. I'm just meditating and cultivating now."

"Are the other disciples the same?"

"Yes, they've all been cooped up in the cave for the whole day. They shouldn't be sleepy."

"That's good. Senior Martial Sister Xia, we've been hiding here for the whole day. It's time to change our location. Moreover, it's less likely that we'll be discovered at night. What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll listen to Junior Martial Brother Zhao's instructions. I just don't know which direction we should go this time?"

Junior Martial Brother Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go east. Only the inner disciples have been there before. There should be treasures there."

"Okay, I'll wake them up and let's go immediately."

Seeing Senior Martial Sister Xia, Junior Martial Brother Zhao's face immediately showed a trace of a smile.

In the night sky, the yellow shadow finally stopped and landed on a mountain. The spring water on the mountain dripped down. In the bushes, there was a scarlet fruit trembling slightly in the wind. When the yellow shadow saw it, its eyes lit up and it flew forward like a gust of wind. At this moment, a huge shadow appeared from the side. It was the monster that was guarding the spirit fruit. However, when the monster saw the yellow shadow, it immediately lowered its huge head as if it had seen its king. Following which, it let out a few low growls as if it was greeting its king.

The small shadow let out a low cry and responded with a few cries. Then, it flew to the front of the spirit fruit and opened its mouth. The vermillion spirit fruit seemed to be pulled by something as it was thrown straight into the shadow's mouth. Then, the yellow shadow raised its head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. It seemed to be cultivating as it inhaled and exhaled an invisible moonlight.

The huge monster stood obediently not far away and looked around vigilantly. It was actually guarding the yellow shadow.

The next morning, Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes and finished her daily routine. Only then did she remove the restriction outside the tent. When she went in to take a look, she saw that everyone had already packed up and were waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to come in.

Zhang Xiaohua rubbed her nose and smiled, "Good morning, Senior Martial Brothers. It seems like you slept well last night."

When Lu Chao saw that Zhang Xiaohua was in a good mood, he was also happy and said, "With Junior Brother Ren guarding the outer sect, we naturally slept soundly. It has been hard on Junior Martial Brother."

Everyone agreed. Zhang Xiaohua smiled but did not say anything.

When Senior Martial Brother Wang saw this, he stepped forward and said, "Junior Brother Ren's kindness to us is as heavy as a mountain. Especially me, I have already saved him twice. As the saying goes, 'A drop of water should be repaid with a spring'. I don't dare to say how much I can repay Junior Martial Brother, but regarding Junior Martial Brother's instructions, I will definitely do it!"

When he finished, he immediately swore a poison oath.

Zhang Xiaohua nodded slightly. What else could he ask for?

The person who would not reveal a secret the most was a dead person. But she wanted to save them, how could she do it?

Since that was the case, she could only choose to believe.

The other seven people, including Lu Chao, also swore a poison oath.

In the end, Lu Chao said, "Last night we had a discussion. Actually, it's easy to deal with. We can say that we were helping Junior Brother Ren to pick the hundred year old 'Ice Soul Grass', so we didn't stay at the campsite and only stayed in the cave. Anyway, the Senior Martial Brothers who came are all … all gone. Whatever we say, won't it be up to us?"

Senior Martial Brother Wang continued, "Moreover, in the entire Pill Expanding Hall, perhaps only the nine of us will return. We are considered heroes to have survived the beast's attack. The Hall Master can't wait to care for us, why would he investigate further?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "That's true. If he blindly interrogates, it will definitely disappoint the brothers.

Alright, we will listen to Senior Martial Brothers. Let's hurry and set off! "
