The people of Fuyao Palace had not gone far yet. As the master of the palace, Fourth Madam Xuan had something on her mind, so the jade carriage did not fly very fast and only moved forward at a constant speed. The jade carriage did not look very big from the outside, but it was like a palace on the inside. All kinds of spiritual treasures and magical items were arranged inside the carriage. Fourth Madam Xuan held her forehead with her right hand as she sat on the couch. Her brows were slightly furrowed as if she was thinking about something.
In front of her sat Xiao Man, who had changed into a white dress. She lowered her head and silently wept.
"Spiritual Mountain Temple … Spiritual Mountain Temple … After the destruction of Buddhism, you people have not cared about worldly affairs for nearly ten thousand years. What do you want now?"
Fourth Madam Xuan pondered for a long time, but she still could not understand Monk Jiu Rou's purpose.
She did not believe that Monk Jiu Rou intervened in this matter to return a favor to Fang Xing. Moreover, Monk Jiu Rou was extraordinarily powerful and deliberately forced her to leave Nan Zhan. Therefore, she concluded that Monk Jiu Rou must have had orders from Spiritual Mountain Temple.
However, she could not understand what this group of monks wanted to do.
After a long sigh, Fourth Madam Xuan decided not to think about this problem anymore. She gently raised her head to look at Xiao Man. Seeing that she was still weeping, she smiled and said, "Little girl, entering our Fuyao Palace and becoming one of my people is a great opportunity that many cultivators in the world could not even dream of. I saw that your Master is too harsh and could not bear to see a delicate girl like you continue to stay by her side. That's why I used a scroll to exchange for you. Why don't you appreciate my kindness and keep crying?"
Xiao Man gently bowed and said, "Mother … Mother, Xiao Man … doesn't want to go to Fuyao Palace …"
Fourth Madam Xuan laughed and said, "You don't know how many fun places there are in Fuyao Palace. There are many sisters like you, and there are countless paradises, strange beasts, and spiritual birds. It is much better than the beggar-like place of your Blue Cloud Sect …"
Xiao Man bit her lip and shook her head forcefully. She said, "I … I only want to go with Young Master …"
Fourth Madam Xuan was slightly stunned and said, "Young Master? … "
Just as she was about to ask who the young master of the Xiao Man was, her Divine Sense suddenly moved and caught a trace of sound. She frowned immediately.
Thirty miles away, the Golden Crow transformed into a beam of golden light and chased after them with all its might. Fang Xing's face was filled with anxiety and his eyes were almost spitting fire. He gripped his broadsword tightly in his hand and as he moved forward, he called out the name "Xiao Man". He was only worried that the people of Fu Yao Palace were moving too fast and he would not be able to catch up with them. He did not care about his own safety at all.
Actually, although he had promised to bring Xiao Man away, it was just a casual promise. He did not really intend to bring Xiao Jianming with him when he left. After all, to him, he preferred to be free and unrestrained. He did not want to bring a burden with him. Hence, when he heard that Xiao Man had entered Fuyao Palace, he was quite happy.
However, he never imagined that Fuyao Palace would have such a damned rule!
The so-called female disciple turned out to be the concubine of the Great Situ …
To hell with the Great Situ. How could his servant girl become someone else's concubine?
It was precisely because of this that he became increasingly anxious and forced the Golden Crow to quickly chase after them!
"We've caught up!"
Suddenly, the eyes of the Golden Crow, which was flying with its head lowered, brightened. It saw a jade chariot above the clouds in front of them. A few unfriendly looking old women were looking at them coldly. It was the chariot of Xuan Si Niang from Fuyao Palace.
From the looks of it, it seemed like it had stopped and was waiting for them here.
"I say, talk nicely and don't use force. Otherwise, Lord Jin will turn and run. I won't care about you …"
The Golden Crow chased after them with Fang Xing and felt that it had fulfilled its duty. It hurriedly instructed Fang Xing not to cause any trouble.
However, before it could finish its sentence, Fang Xing had already shouted angrily, "Return Xiao Man to me …"
From within the jade carriage came Fourth Madam Xuan's cold voice, "Little devil, I can hear you shouting at the top of your voice from dozens of miles away. You are so noisy that it annoys me! You have some guts. Just now, you stopped me from knocking on the door. That is already a capital offense. Because of Monk Jiu Rou's face, I did not argue with you. Now, you are acting recklessly and dare to chase after us. Do you really think that I do not dare to kill you? "
The murderous aura in the voice carried an invisible pressure that shrouded the top of Fang Xing's head like a dark cloud.
Fang Xing's heart trembled. He rubbed his face and suppressed the anger in his voice. He said, "Xiao Man is my servant girl. How can you take her away just like that? Return her to me. I will leave now … "
"Hmph, little devil, you dare to ask for her from our Fu Yao Palace? Are you tired of living?"
Before Fourth Madam Xuan in the jade carriage could answer, Granny Qian, who was beside the carriage, had already opened her mouth with a murderous look in her eyes.
"I am not talking to you!"
Fang Xing replied angrily, his eyes only staring at the jade carriage.
Granny Qian was even angrier. Since Fourth Madam Xuan had not spoken, she could not make a move. Otherwise, she would have pinched this little devil to death.
"I used a scroll to exchange for this girl from Qing Niao. She used to be Qing Niao's disciple, but now she is my servant. What qualifications do you have to chase after me and ask for her?"
Fourth Madam Xuan spoke coldly after a while.
Fang Xing hurriedly said, "What qualifications does that old bitch Qing Niao have to give Xiao Man to you? Xiao Man is mine, not hers! "
Fourth Madam Xuan, who was in the jade carriage, raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She felt that her dignity was being challenged.
She glanced at Xiao Man. The girl was looking at her with a pleading face, hoping that she would let her go.
Fourth Madam Xuan had a strange feeling in her heart. "What's wrong with Fu Yao Palace? Why does everyone dare to challenge the prestige of Fu Yao Palace? That Jiu Rou Monk has the Spiritual Mountain Temple behind him. That's fine, but why does this little ant who is only at the Spiritual Movement Stage dare to chase after me and ask for her? Why does this Demon Barbarian girl prefer to go with this little devil instead of putting the glory and wealth of Fu Yao Palace in her eyes? "
Thinking of this, an inexplicable anger rose. Her voice was cold and unquestionable!
"Oh? Is that so? Then let me tell you now. You don't have the right to say who this girl belongs to. Qing Niao is also right. This girl doesn't have the right to say it herself, only I have the right to say it. From today onwards, she is no longer Qing Niao's disciple, nor is she your servant. She is my servant. In the future, she will be the concubine of Fu Yao Palace's Great Situ. If she is lucky, she might even become a Goddess! "
Fourth Madam Xuan's voice was calm, but Fang Xing was furious when he heard it. He shouted desperately, "Why?"
"Because I am Fu Yao Palace's Fourth Madam Xuan!"
That one sentence gave all the answers. The jade carriage turned and flew away with the wind.
Suddenly, a low sobbing sound rang out from within the jade carriage.
Xiao Man's face was already full of tears, but she covered her mouth, not wanting to let any sound come out, lest Fang Xing hear it.
Fang Xing panicked and shouted, "Don't go …!"
He shouted and was about to chase after her, but Granny Qian and another old woman suddenly blocked in front of him. They said coldly, "Little devil, I have already spared your life. If you dare to chase after me, be careful that you don't lose your life …"
"Get out of my way!"
Fang Xing was furious. He waved his saber and slashed out.
However, in the eyes of Granny Qian, this saber strike that contained all of his strength was like a joke. Her skinny palm gently pressed forward, and an incomparably powerful force suppressed Fang Xing. He couldn't even move his little finger.
"What a brat who overestimates his own capabilities …"
Granny Qian laughed coldly, "His Majesty has just ordered to spare your life, but … crippling you doesn't seem to be violating the order …"
As she spoke, she increased the force in her hand and infused spiritual energy into Fang Xing's dantian and meridians.
Fang Xing exerted all his strength, yet was unable to chop down with the large saber in his hand. He only felt his entire body being enveloped by a formidable force, and this force seemed to want to seep into his meridians, causing his entire body to split apart. His little face was already suffocated to the point it flushed red, and his bones even emitted cracking sounds that caused one's teeth to ache. He felt as if his body was about to explode …
"Have mercy …"
At this moment, a loud shout was heard. A black-robed old man flew over on a cloud. It was Iron Like Madness.
He rushed over hurriedly and directly knelt down on the cloud. He kowtowed to Granny Qian and cried, "Senior is magnanimous, please spare this little devil's life. I will definitely teach him a lesson …"
"Hmph!"
Granny Qian didn't care about Iron Like Madness and increased the force in her hand.
However, at this moment, Fourth Madam Xuan's faint voice came from the sky, "We still have to hurry, let him go …"
When Granny Qian heard this, a flash of hatred flashed between her brows. She raised her hand and put down Fang Xing.
"Old … old bastard …"
Fang Xing coughed violently, but he still managed to raise his saber and was about to strike. Tie Rukuang, who was next to him, hurriedly pulled him into his arms and used his spiritual power to bind him, even sealing his eight extraordinary meridians, lest he make any more noise. Then, he bowed to Granny Qian and said, "Thank you, Senior, for your kindness in sparing my life. After Rukuang brings him back, I will definitely discipline him strictly …"
Granny Qian sneered and didn't say a word. She turned around and floated away with the other old woman.
"Wu wu … wu wu …"
Fang Xing was so angry that his eyes seemed to bulge out and his face turned red.
Iron Like Madness ignored him and carried him in his arms. In one breath, he flew a few hundred miles in the opposite direction of Fourth Madam Xuan and the others. Only then did he stop and set up a few barriers. Only then did he untie the binds on Fang Xing's body. He scolded with hatred, "Do you really want to die? Fuyao Palace hates you to the core. Do you really think they won't dare to kill you? "
"Why? Why should she take Xiao Man away? Xiao Man is mine … "
Fang Xing shouted hysterically in anger. He wanted to rush out, but he was bound by Iron Like Madness's power.
"Why? Just because in front of her, you and I are like ants. Isn't that enough? "
"Just because you have strength, you are the boss? Just because you have strength, you can take Xiao Man away? "Fang Xing went crazy and struggled with all his might.
Iron Like Madness smiled bitterly and said, "Of course you can. In fact, it's already an unexpected blessing that you're still alive. You're also smart. There are some things that I don't have to say too clearly. In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. This also means that if you're not strong enough, you can only resign yourself to fate and resign yourself to adversity. Don't you understand this principle?
"In front of ordinary disciples, you Chosen Ones, even if the Heavens and Earth were to rob them of everything, we would still turn a blind eye and not take it seriously. But in front of us old fellows who have successfully reached the Foundational Stage, you can only submit. And in front of Fuyao Palace, we are not much stronger than ants. We can only submit to adversity and do not dare to resist!"
He sighed and walked in front of Fang Xing. He patted Fang Xing's shoulder lightly and said, "This is the way of cultivation. If you can't become stronger than anyone else, then you should at least learn how to live well!"
These words immediately caused Fang Xingzhi, who was a little crazy, to become silent.
In his mind, he recalled the scene of the merchants begging for mercy when the bandits in the Ghost Smoke Valley robbed them.
Then, he recalled the scene of Xiao Jianming killing his way into the Ghost Smoke Valley with an eagle and a sword …
Yes, it was all the same. The strong robbed the weak. Not only could they take away all their belongings, they could even take away their lives!
He had entered the path of cultivation, but it was just a different place. The principle was the same.
It could even be said that in the world of cultivation, the principle was even more blatant!
When the bandits of the Ghost Smoke Valley robbed, they still followed the principle of wanting money more than their lives. Because they were all mortals, they knew that everyone's lives were the same. But in the cultivation world, the strong killing the weak was as easy as crushing an ant. Because the cultivation world held great power, the strong only treated their own lives as their lives, and did not treat the lives of the weak as their lives … ….
Even though he had always understood this principle, when he truly felt it, it was still extremely hard to accept.
Or perhaps, it was not the principle that he accepted. He thought he had learned some skills, but he suddenly realized that he was actually still so weak …
Iron Like Madness looked at his dejected look and felt a little sorry for him. He sighed and said, "You don't have to be too sad. Actually, things are not that bad. If you really like this girl, you can just snatch her back in the future. Even if this girl becomes the concubine of the next Great Situ of Fuyao Palace, that will only happen a hundred years later. Within this hundred years, she will only be nurtured by Fuyao Palace as a candidate for the position of Goddess. She will be as pure as ice and as clean as jade, and will not allow any man to get close to her. So, you still have a great chance …"
"A hundred years?"
Fang Xing was slightly stunned. He turned his head stiffly and asked Iron Like Madness.
Iron Like Madness nodded and said, "That's right. There is a Yaochi banquet every thousand years. During the Yaochi banquet, the new Goddess of Fuyao Palace will be born. It is also only on this day that the disciples of Fuyao Palace who have not become the Goddess will become the concubine of the Great Situ. Now, there is still a hundred years before the next Yaochi banquet, and this is also the opportunity for you to grow …"
As he spoke, Tie Rukuang couldn't go on.
His words were naturally just words of comfort.
What kind of existence was Fuyao Palace?
What kind of standard was the Yaochi Banquet?
The Yaochi Banquet that was held every thousand years, and those who were qualified to attend the banquet were all of Yuanying cultivation. Within this hundred years, no matter how amazing this little brat was, to be able to cultivate to the Golden Elixir realm was already very heaven-defying. How could it be possible for him to achieve Yuanying?
What's more, he was instigating him to go to the Yaochi banquet to snatch this servant girl back!
However, the little brat who usually laughed and scolded without any sense of propriety had suddenly become so angry. This made him faintly worried, fearing that Fang Xing would go crazy for a moment and invite a fatal disaster. Therefore, he used these words to comfort him. No matter what, if this little brat was determined to participate in the Yaochi banquet within a hundred years, then at least he would not continue to go crazy for now, and at least he would be able to live.
"A hundred years!"
When Fang Xing heard this, he was silent for a long time, and repeated the number again.
He lowered his head and secretly gritted his teeth. After a while, he said softly, "Let me go!"
Seeing that he had calmed down, Iron Like Madness nodded and released all the restraints.
"Old man, you're right. This is the way of the world. Those who have a knife kill, those who don't have a knife get slaughtered. In fact, I've understood this since I was very young!"
Fang Xing did not rush out, but said very calmly.
"It's just that I can never learn to be submissive, so I can only be the strongest!"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He stood up from the back of the Golden Crow, looked in the direction where Fuyao Palace had left, and said fiercely, "I can only rob others, I will never let others rob me. Since this Fuyao Palace has taken my servant girl, I swear that I will fight my way to their door, tear down this broken palace, and take away all the good stuff. If I can't take away, I will smash it, and if I can't smash it, I will burn it …"
After making the vow, he then remembered that he had forgotten about Xiao Man, and added, "I will also bring Xiao Man back!"
Iron Like Madness was a little speechless, and thought to himself, So this little bastard still wants to rob things …
But after hearing the vow, he knew that his worries were unnecessary. This little bastard was originally an extremely smart person. Although he might be angry for a moment and not care about anything, he would calm down and understand the logic better than himself. He smiled bitterly and asked, "The Xiao Clan has gained power. I'm afraid you can't continue to stay in the Blue Cloud Sect in the future. What are your plans?"
Although Iron Like Madness's brain was made of iron, he could see things very clearly. Now that the Xiao Clan had gained power, the Blue Cloud Sect could no longer stay. Even he had plans to leave the Blue Cloud Sect, and this disciple of his had to leave. He could still return to the Blue Cloud Sect to stay for a while and pack some things, but if this little bastard went back, he was afraid that he would soon be targeted by the Xiao Clan.
"Me? Go back first! There's still a duel to be done! "
Fang Xing said very seriously.
Iron Like Madness frowned and said, "You're still thinking about that duel at this time?"
Fang Xing nodded and said, "Since I want to be the strongest, of course I have to start with this Foundation Establishment Pill!"
…
…
"Sect Master, can you give this Foundation Establishment Pill to Jianming?"
On the main peak of the Blue Cloud Sect, Xiao Shan He said to Sect Master Chen Xuanhua with a smile on his face.
His smile was very respectful, but there were already some changes in his eyes.
Fourth Madam Xuan of Fuyao Palace kept her word. Even though she did not manage to knock on the door in the end, she still gave him the mystical incantation that she had promised him due to his contribution in snitching. With the mystical incantation in his hands, he could hold his head high and felt that he had the capital to contend against the Sect Master.
Chen Xuanhua frowned slightly and didn't say anything for a while.
At this moment, Elder Blue Bird, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xiao, Blue Bird has a favor to ask. Can you let me study this Foundation Establishment Pill for a few days? At that time, I will definitely return it to Jianming, and I will also send another gift as thanks! "
Xiao Shan He was slightly startled and hesitated.
The pills that alchemists used to study would usually be crushed into powder, and they would almost be able to distinguish it bit by bit to analyze the internal structure of the pill. They would even use various refining methods to repeatedly refine the pill to calculate the degree of heat and technique used to refine the pill. Because of this, a pill that was taken by an alchemist to study was basically equivalent to throwing a meat bun at a dog, and it could never be returned.
He naturally didn't want to borrow it, but Blue Bird had also obtained the Xuan formula of Fuyao Palace. Although it couldn't be passed on to others, it was not a problem to create a Gold Core expert like Blue Bird. In other words, Blue Bird was basically the only person in the Blue Cloud Sect who could compete with him in the future. He still had the intention to rope in such a person, so he didn't directly refuse.
Blue Bird seemed to have seen through his thoughts and smiled, "Senior Xiao, don't worry. I promise I won't destroy this pill. I will only study it for a few days, and at most scrape off a layer of pill powder. I guarantee that after seven days, I will return you a complete Foundation Establishment Pill … In addition, in order to let Jianming successfully build his foundation, I still have twelve Nine Reincarnation Life Pills that I have kept for a long time. Just give them to him!"
Hearing this, Xiao Shan He's eyes lit up. He knew that Elder Blue Bird's twelve Nine Reincarnation Life Pills were treasures among the countless pills and elixirs that she had accumulated over the years. Its value was so high that it was not below a normal Foundation Establishment Pill. It was simply the best pill that a Spiritual Movement Realm cultivator could consume. He didn't think that she would be willing to take it out. This was an unexpected surprise.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Since junior Blue Bird has asked, I naturally won't refuse!"
While the two of them were talking, Sect Master Chen Xuanhua's expression had already become extremely ugly. At this moment, he had yet to agree to give the Foundation Establishment Pill to Xiao Jianming. Yet, these two were already discussing whether or not to lend the pill. What kind of position did they place him in?
However, the current him really did not have any plans to go head to head with Xiao Shan He. He sighed and was about to speak, but he suddenly saw a cloud flying over from the distant horizon. On the cloud was the master and disciple of Iron Like Madness, as well as the Great Golden Crow. Before the cloud had even flown close, Fang Xing's voice came from afar, "Xiao Jianming, the leader of the Blue Cloud Sect has yet to be decided. Do you dare to fight with me?"
In front of the Jade Base Hall, the Xiao uncle and nephew, Elder Blue Bird, and even Sect Master Chen Xuanhua's expressions all changed.
The esteemed guest of Fuyao Palace had already left. The Xiao uncle and nephew had gained power and were about to rise, yet this little demon still wanted to challenge them?
Was this little demon really not afraid of offending the Xiao uncle and nephew too much?
Or was he thinking that he would not be lucky sooner or later, so he deliberately went to the arena to seek death?
"Hmph, I was worried that this little demon would run away, but I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to come to me …"
Xiao Shan He's eyes turned cold, and he laughed coldly. He no longer concealed his murderous intent in his words.
Previously, he still had some scruples about Chen Xuanhua and did not dare to reveal his thoughts, but now he was unscrupulous.
It was also at this moment that a person suddenly rushed forward and begged, "Uncle, please give me this chance, let me kill him with my own hands!"
The person who spoke was Xiao Jianming, and his face was full of pleading.
Xiao Shan He was slightly stunned. He realized that the matter of his nephew killing that little demon with his own hands had become a knot in his heart. In addition, if he personally dealt with this little demon, Sect Master Chen Xuanhua might not necessarily stop him, and that iron head would certainly not agree. Although he had the upper hand now, he was after all not a true Gold Core, and it was not the time to shed all pretense of cordiality.
Thinking of this, he reluctantly nodded and said, "Then go. Oh, by the way, try to stay alive!"
Xiao Jianming knew that his uncle still wanted to interrogate Fang Xing about his secrets, so he nodded and said, "I understand!"
At this moment, Fang Xing had already arrived near the Thousand Rocks. He landed on the back of the Golden Crow and whispered something to the Golden Crow. The Golden Crow's eyes lit up, and Fang Xing did not wait for it. He directly walked into the Thousand Rocks, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and stood in the arena valiantly and shouted, "Xiao Jianming, come quickly to accept your death, I can't wait any longer!"
Xiao Jianming flew over the Thousand Rocks on the iron throne, looked down at Fang Xing, and sneered, "Are you really so eager to die?"
Fang Xing laughed and said, "Yes, my skin is still itchy. Come down and give me a scratch, okay?"
"Haha …"
Xiao Jianming laughed wildly and said in a cold voice, "I will definitely let you enjoy it!"
Then he flew into the Thousand Rocks. At this time, he could be said to be full of confidence, and even thought that Fang Xing really came to die, because he found that Fang Xing did not even bring his Golden Crow. It was obvious that he knew that he was going to die, so he let the Golden Crow go, and came to die alone. Although Fang Xing did not have a mount, Xiao Jianming still planned to bring the Iron Eagle.
After all, he still remembered his uncle's words, be careful in everything.
