Chapter 943
Jinghai Lake was the place where Zhang Xiaohua first entered the Fragrant Religion. It was quite a large lake, and it was also the place where people entered and exited the Fragrant Religion. Zhang Xiaohua's immortal cultivation had greatly improved, and her divine sense was also a lot stronger. Therefore, she also had the intention to explore Jinghai Lake.
Forming a seal with her hand, Zhang Xiaohua's body flew up and broke through the sky. Her figure gradually dimmed, indicating that her flying technique and concealment technique had greatly improved.
The flying technique was indeed powerful. Although Zhang Xiaohua had just entered the sect, it only took her the time to drink a cup of tea to arrive at Jinghai Lake. From afar, Zhang Xiaohua released her divine sense. She only felt that the fluctuation of heaven and earth's origin energy above the lake was very strong. Especially above the lake, there were several fluctuations that swept across, and it was very chaotic.
Zhang Xiaohua frowned and temporarily dispelled the idea of exploring the lake. She formed a seal and landed in the forest beside the lake.
The forest was lush with branches and leaves, and the wind blew the leaves, creating a rustling sound. After Zhang Xiaohua landed, she did not use her Qing Gong. Instead, she walked step by step in the shade of the trees. The mottled sunlight penetrated through the forest, and it was particularly dazzling. Her feet stepped on the one-foot thick underbrush, and the rustling sound made Zhang Xiaohua recall many things.
This was the place where Zhang Xiaohua first met the outstanding disciple of the Dan Repository Hall, Lu Lihong. It was also in the morning that Zhang Xiaohua saw the sanctimonious side of Lu Lihong. The Dragon Scale Fruit that she obtained was also taken away by Lu Lihong. However, the things that happened after that were even more unimaginable. She met Lu Lihong again, fought with him, and was ambushed and killed by him. All of this happened in the span of a few months. At this moment, she was revisiting old memories. Where was the expert who deceived her in the past?
He had already turned into a handful of soil in the Youlan Grand Canyon!
Thinking about this, Zhang Xiaohua used her divine sense to check. In just a moment, she saw a lot of precious herbs in the forest. However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaohua disdained to pick them. Although the herbs in the Youlan Grand Canyon were refined in the Shixin Peak, the remaining herbs were enough for Zhang Xiaohua to use. Although the herbs in the forest were good, they were far from what Zhang Xiaohua had, so naturally, it did not attract her interest.
Just when Zhang Xiaohua casually glanced around, suddenly, an obscure fluctuation appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again!
"Eh?" Zhang Xiaohua was surprised. He focused his Divine Sense on the place just now, but there was no more movement!
"Could it be that I … saw wrongly?" Zhang Xiaohua thought with a frown.
However, he still changed his direction and went to the place where the fluctuation came from.
When he got closer, he found that the place where the fluctuation appeared was out of the forest, right next to the Jinghai Lake. Looking carefully, Zhang Xiaohua was surprised to find that it was the place where she and Qiang Qiang had set up camp.
"This … Could it be that there is something fishy underground?"
Zhang Xiaohua thought, and the obscure fluctuation suddenly appeared again. Just like before, it disappeared in a moment. Of course, this time, Zhang Xiaohua saw it clearly with her divine sense. It was a small bead under the ground not far away!
Zhang Xiaohua used her divine sense to check the surroundings of the bead. After confirming that there was no danger, she walked over. The bead was not buried deep, and Zhang Xiaohua easily took it out. Looking at the gray bead in her hand, Zhang Xiaohua concentrated her divine sense and wanted to delve into it. However, the bead seemed to have a strange restriction. It did not isolate her divine sense, but when she tried to force her divine sense into it, the restriction shook violently, and a chaotic aura came out from within the bead.
Suddenly, a sense of danger rose in Zhang Xiaohua's heart. Her expression changed, and with a flick of her wrist, she immediately threw the gray bead towards the Jinghai Lake.
The bead shot out like an arrow from a bow. Even so, when the bead flew to the surface of the lake, the restriction on the surface of the lake was triggered. Before the restriction could activate, there was a weak flash of light, followed by a loud bang. The bead actually exploded on the surface of the lake, and the explosion caused huge waves to rise from the bottom of the lake.
"What is this?" Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. If the bead exploded in her hand, wouldn't she lose her life?
No matter how light it was, she reckoned that she would not be able to keep her arm!
"Is this something that was forcefully buried?
Or was it buried by someone else? "Zhang Xiaohua was about to ponder, but there was another movement, and a weak divine sense swept over!
Zhang Xiaohua's expression changed slightly, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes. She seemed to have an idea. She pinched a spell, and first, she escaped into the ground. After a short while, a few disciples wearing the uniform of the Wuming Hall hurriedly rushed over. Before they arrived, they saw a woman wearing tight clothes. Her head was wrapped tightly, and she was using her Qing Gong to stand high above the bushes!
After the explosion, the surface of the lake returned to normal. However, the restriction on the surface of the lake was even more chaotic. How could these low-level disciples of the Wuming Hall know about this?
They checked for a long time, but they did not find anything, so they had to go elsewhere.
When these disciples went far away, the woman hiding in the bushes revealed herself. Her exposed eyes stared at the surface of the lake for a long time, as if she was thinking about something.
At this time, the sound of leaves swaying could be heard from not far away. The woman raised her eyebrows, stood up, and looked for the source. "Eh?
Ren Xiaoyao!!! "
Before the woman could get close, she saw Zhang Xiaohua's exposed back. She blurted out, "You are indeed cunning. I have been chasing you for a long time, but I could not find any trace of you. If I did not have a sudden impulse to come to the Jinghai Lake to take a look, who would know that you were hiding here?"
Zhang Xiaohua heard the sound behind her, and she pretended to be afraid. She used her Qing Gong, Ethereal Steps, and went into the depths of the forest. "Ethereal Steps?"
The woman seemed to be very familiar with Ethereal Steps. When Zhang Xiaohua used it, she saw through it. "I knew that there was something wrong with you. Hehe, I did not expect … your problem to be so big!!!"
Zhang Xiaohua did not look back. She controlled her speed, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, so that the woman behind her could not catch up. After the time it took to smoke a cigarette, the two of them went into the depths of the forest.
The woman was so angry that she forgot to consider why she could not catch up to Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua continued to run forward until she found a spacious area. Zhang Xiaohua stood under a tree with her arms crossed. She turned around and said with a smile, "Great Elder Jing Gang, why are you chasing me?"
When the woman heard this, she unconsciously stopped and changed her voice. She asked curiously, "You … how did you know it was me?"
As she spoke, she removed the cloth that was wrapped around her head, revealing her white hair and wrinkled face.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Xiaohua laughed. "In the entire Fragrant Cult, you are the only one who can't get along with me. Other than you, who else would care about a small character like me?"
"It's that simple?" Jing Gang was stunned and asked in disbelief.
"Of course, other than this, what else could it be?
You changed your voice and clothes, but you didn't even let me see your face. If I didn't guess, how would I know? "
Jing Gang slowly nodded and sneered. "Since you know it's me, you … don't seem to be afraid!"
"Why should I be afraid?"
Zhang Xiaohua also sneered, "Lord Sect Leader knows how dissatisfied you are with me, so he followed your tone and sent me down the mountain. You went down the mountain without permission to kill me, aren't you afraid of being punished by Lord Sect Leader?"
"Punished?"
Jing Gang laughed. "Let's not talk about the fact that I went down the mountain through a secret passage. Jing Yi only knows that I went into seclusion to cultivate and doesn't know that I went down the mountain. Even if she knew, I would have killed you long ago. What else can she say?
It's just a few words of punishment. Do you think I would abandon the decades of relationship between us for a mere disciple? "
Zhang Xiaohua held her chin and didn't say anything.
Then she heard Jing Gang say, "Actually, I was a bit anxious that day. If you hadn't found Mo Qingshan's relics and I hadn't listened to Mei Suyan's words, I would have lost my mind and only wanted to kill you to avenge Zhuoqun. I lost Jing Yi's face in Mo Xuan's palace. Do you think … I wouldn't have killed you on Lingering Fragrance Peak?"
"But …" Zhang Xiaohua said thoughtfully, "You don't have evidence that I killed Yue Zhuoqun. How do you know that I killed her?"
"Evidence?
It's just something from the legends. As long as you have the slightest chance, this old woman will kill you and kill all the people who can kill Zhuo Qun. The real murderer will also be killed by this old woman! "Jing Gang said with a sneer.
Zhang Xiaohua's eyes narrowed. "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one person go!
Great Elder, what a good plan! "
"I, Jing Gang, kill people. Do I still need to plan?" Jing Gang said proudly.
"That's true!" Zhang Xiaohua put down her hand and said, "There's an old proverb that says those who kill will be killed by others.
I don't know if Great Elder has heard of it! "
"Hahaha!" Jing Gang laughed. "I have heard of it, but I don't understand.
Ren Xiaoyao, you've said so much. You … can die now! "
As she spoke, Jing Gang stretched out her hand and a long sword came out of its scabbard.
"Wait a moment …" Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand. "Doesn't Great Elder want to know whether I killed Yue Zhuoqun or not?"
"There's no difference whether you killed her or not. It won't be too late to tell me after you die."
"Is that so?" Zhang Xiaohua said as he reached out his hand and took out something from his bosom.
When she saw the item in Zhang Xiaohua's hand, Jing Gang's eyes widened. She scolded angrily, "Ren Xiaoyao, you brat, you actually got the Purple Phoenix Hairpin. Zhuoqun was indeed killed by you!
Give me your life! "As she spoke, she raised her long sword. It was very similar to Xi Mujun's sword. She was going to stab Zhang Xiaohua!
"That's not all."
Zhang Xiaohua sneered and took out another Purple Phoenix Hairpin from his bosom. He held both Purple Phoenix Hairpins in his hands and waved them in the air a few times. He smiled and said, "Your two precious disciples have become ghosts in my hands. You … I'm afraid you will follow in their footsteps. Yue Zhuoqun left early and I'm afraid she couldn't wait for you. Xi Mujun, on the other hand, is probably still waiting for you!"
