As he spoke, a jade chair appeared on Xiao Hua's left. Zhao Jianfeng invited Xue Yudong to sit, while he accompanied him in the other direction.
Xiao Hua also shook his head with a bitter smile. He could see through Zhao Jianfeng's intentions. First, he used words to slightly provoke the grudge between him and Xue Yudong, then became the peacemaker. There were three two-qi immortals in the main hall. He casually let Xue Yudong sit in one of the seats, and then accompanied him on the other side. No matter what, Xue Yudong would still have the seat of honor!
"Forget it, forget it …" Xiao Huayu somewhat understood Zhao Jianfeng's cautiousness. He thought to himself, "Why is Xiao angry with a mere two-qi immortal!"
Xue Yudong drank a cup of immortal tea and said plainly, "Although Xiao Zhenren and I came uninvited, Xiao Zhenren came from afar. He is the guest!"
"No, no …" Zhao Jianfeng hurriedly smiled and said, "How could the two immortals come uninvited? Immortal friend Xiao was invited by Chen Xiaohai's Zhao family. Elder Xue … was invited by this Zhao through Zhao Chengji. They are this Zhao's honored guests! That's right, Zhao Chengji, this old man owes you a favor. Remember, although your surname is Zhao, you are now a disciple of Qimang Sect. Everything you do is for Qimang Sect! "
"Yes …" A middle-aged Derived Immortal flew out and bowed, "This junior will remember senior Zhao's words!"
Looking at this ordinary-looking middle-aged Derived Immortal who even looked a little old, Xiao Huayu had a strange feeling. He could not help but think, "Heavenly Dao, what's going on? Zhao Chengji, isn't he the fiance of Bai Xiaotu's mother, Dongfang Ling? When Xiao first stepped into the immortal realm, he heard of his name. I didn't expect to see him now! Also, Dongfang family is nearby?? Then … where is Bai Xiaotu? "
While Xiao Hua was thinking, Zhao Jianfeng and Xue Yudong both said a few words, and Zhao Chengji left.
Xue Yudong looked at Zhao Jianfeng and said, "Immortal friend Zhao, what's the matter? Can you be honest with me now? "
Zhao Jianfeng smiled faintly and actually stood up. He cupped his fists towards Xue Yudong and Xiao Hua and said, "Fellow Immortals, this matter involves a secret of my Zhao Clan. No matter if it's me or … Chen Xiaohai's Zhao Clan, none of us wish for this secret to be leaked, so …"
Hearing this, Xiao Ming frowned slightly. Before he could say anything, Xue Yudong looked at him. Although he didn't transmit his voice, his eyes were filled with doubt and inquiry.
Xiao Hua shook his head slightly, indicating that he knew nothing.
Xue Yudong coughed and interrupted Zhao Jianfeng, "Fellow Immortal Zhao, I heard that your Zhao family was in trouble and came to help. I don't want to be implicated by He Daonuo …"
"Haha, Fellow Immortal Xue, don't worry …" Zhao Jianfeng laughed and said, "There's no need for any promises. However, before this matter is resolved, I will open the Mountain Protecting Celestial Formation of Qi Yun Ridge!"
"I see …" Xue Yudong hesitated and looked at Xiao Hua. How could Xiao Hua care about Huang Zengtian's Celestial Formation? He only smiled and didn't say anything.
"Fine!" Xue Yudong thought for a bit and nodded, "My Qi Yun Sect and Qi Yun Ridge's Zhao family have been friends for a long time. I'll trust you this time."
Zhao Jianfeng replied, "Fellow Immortal Xue, don't worry. I've made countless preparations. Fellow Immortal Xun Formation Master of the Formation Alliance has been invited by me. It will be absolutely safe …"
Xue Yudong didn't say anything. Zhao Jianfeng slapped the immortal mark between his eyebrows and a spear-like immortal artifact flew out. There were two green and red grooves on both sides of the immortal artifact. There were two bolts of lightning inside!
Zhao Jianfeng spat out a mouthful of essence blood. He formed a hand seal and hit the immortal artifact. "Sou …" The immortal artifact broke through the air and shot into the roof of the palace!
The immortal artifact landed on the lightning that was cruising on the roof of the palace.
Like a stone thrown into the water, the thunderbolt set off ripples and circles of lightning spread across the roof of the palace. Then, a broken thunder chariot appeared in front of everyone. Although the thunder chariot was broken, the lightning on it was still flashing. What was special was that on the lightning chariot, there was a Senjō in bronze armor. Although it was also broken, its almost unparalleled power covered the entire palace the moment the lightning chariot appeared!
"Shua …" Almost at the same time, all the immortals, including Xiao Hua, were surrounded by silver light!
"Bang, bang, bang …" As thunderbolts exploded in the air, thirty-six thousand five hundred dragons on the eighty-one copper pillars came to life, roaring as they pounced towards the roof of the palace.
Looking at the roof of the palace, it had become the boundless sky. The sky was broken and only the lightning spear in the Senjō's hand was left shining with lightning!
"Fellow … Fellow Immortal Zhao …" Xue Yudong's voice was trembling, but with a hint of surprise, he whispered, "I didn't expect the legend of your Zhao family … to be true!"
"Of course!" Zhao Jianfeng said proudly, "Although my Zhao family has declined, but … our inheritance still exists. As long as we can break the array left by our ancestors and let our Zhao family's inheritance see the light of day again, my Zhao family … will definitely rise again!"
"Good!" Xue Yudong clapped his hands and praised, "It seems that I came to the right place. I hope I can really help the Zhao family!"
"Haha, Fellow Immortal Xue, don't worry …" Zhao Jianfeng laughed. Although his expression couldn't be seen clearly, his tone was full of expectation. He said, "Fellow Immortal Xue, my Zhao family will definitely not forget your timely help. And Fellow Immortal Xiao, don't worry, my Zhao family will not treat you unfairly. "
"Hehe …" Xiao Hua smiled and replied, "If I can help, I will naturally help. After all, it will be good for Xiao. But if I can't help, I hope Fellow Immortal Zhao can understand. After all, Xiao just wants to settle the karma of his disciple."
Xiao Hua's reply was reasonable, which made Zhao Jianfeng feel slightly relieved.
Unfortunately, Xiao Hua sneered in his heart. He was just passing by. Although he was Zhao Ting's master, fundamentally speaking, he had nothing to do with the Zhao family. Zhao Jianfeng let Xiao Hua come to Qi Yun Ridge without worry because he relied on the power of the Immemorial Immortal Restriction. He wasn't afraid that Xiao Hua would do anything that would harm the Zhao family. Moreover, Xiao Hua also believed that Zhao Jianfeng definitely had the means to kill a Two Qi Immortal!
While the three Two Qi Immortals were talking, the 36,500 dragons had already flown to the front of the thunder chariot. The long spear that didn't have a body was waved along with half of the arm!
"Roar …" Ten thousand dragons soared, roaring in unison as they rushed towards the sky. Xiao Hua and the others felt the space tremble, the earth trembled, and the lightning around them fell like a storm …
After half a cup of tea's time, the lightning gradually disappeared, and the suffocating power of the Senjō also receded like the tide. When Xiao Hua and the others looked again, there was no longer a hall.
They saw 81 towering mountains supporting the heavens and the earth. The immortals were standing under the boundless sky. Facing those mountains, a sense of insignificance arose spontaneously.
Looking at the strange scene around them, even Xiao Hua was a little surprised. This was because even with his strength, he couldn't figure out whether the entire hall had been teleported or if the immortal formation had been opened.
Perhaps Zhao Jianfeng was right. Qi Yun Ridge was indeed the descendant of the Immemorial Immortal Tribe in the Zhao family.
"Fellow Immortal Zhao …" Xue Yudong released Wannian and looked around. The surprise on his face was even stronger than the lightning. He said, "Although I have never seen your Qi Yun Ridge's Mountain Protecting Immortal Formation … I have heard of it. It doesn't seem to be this big!"
"Hehe …" Zhao Jianfeng smiled slightly. With a grab of his hand, the disappeared spear tip appeared out of thin air again. With a light tap of his right hand, dozens of chairs condensed from lightning appeared behind Xiao Hua and the others.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" Zhao Jianfeng raised his hand and said, "This matter has to start from … Zhao Lei's defection to Qi Yun Ridge …"
"Zhao Lei??" Xiao Hua was shocked. He seemed to understand something and then looked at Seventh Elder Zhao Yufan. Zhao Yufan's expression didn't change. Obviously, he already knew the details.
"Zhao Lei is??" Zhao Jianfeng asked.
"Zhao Lei is a … rather outstanding disciple of the Zhao family …" Although Zhao Jianfeng didn't want to say more, Zhao Lei was the key to this matter. He couldn't avoid it.
"… Back then, he should have been sent to Qi Yun Sect like Zhao Chengji. However, I had selfish motives and kept him in the family, ready to entrust him with important tasks … "
"… But Zhao Lei didn't understand my intentions. He felt that I was biased towards others and didn't give him a chance. Unfortunately, I didn't notice this and still treated him as a direct descendant. Gradually, I gave him some important tasks such as guarding the Mountain Guarding Array … "
"… In the beginning, Zhao Lei didn't have any abnormalities. His cultivation speed was also very fast. He didn't let me down. But later, Zhao Lei suddenly told me that he wanted to marry Jiang Ju of Lotus Cave's Lightning Cloud Peak … "
"… Logically speaking, this is a wonderful thing that I would absolutely agree to. However, Zhao Lei insisted on moving to Thunder Cloud after the marriage. At that time, Zhao Lei had already come into contact with the secrets of the Zhao family. How could I let him go? So I didn't agree … "
"… Because of this, I was afraid that Zhao Lei would have other thoughts. So, I gave some important tasks to other disciples. Who knew that one day, I had to leave Qi Yun Ridge. The Mountain Guarding Array suddenly had trouble. The elder on duty was shocked and hurriedly investigated. He found that under the Mountain Guarding Array, there was a Thunderbolt Mark. The Thunderbolt Mark was slightly broken and there were some Ancient Bronze Celestial Artifacts scattered around … "
"… The elder on duty sent me a message and checked the disciples who could come into contact with the Mountain Guarding Array. In the end, he found that Zhao Lei had disappeared from Qi Yun Ridge …"
"… I received the news and hurried back. After investigation, I found that not only Zhao Lei had disappeared, but Jiang Ju of Lotus Cave was also missing! Then, I found out that Jiang Ju was already pregnant, and Jiang Ju's teacher was the same as this Zhao, not agreeing to their marriage … "
Hearing this, Xiao Hua turned to look at Zhao Ting. Zhao Ting's face had started to turn pale!
"Alas …" Xiao Hua sighed softly. He already knew the ins and outs of the matter.
"… By this time, I already know the general situation. Zhao Lei and Jiang Ju must have gotten into trouble. They were afraid of being punished by the Zhao family and Lotus Cave, so they prepared to go far away. Zhao Lei used to guard the Mountain Guarding Array of the Zhao family and found the secrets of the Array. Before he left, he took some life-saving Celestial Artifacts or secret cultivation manuals from the Array …"
"… So I immediately issued the order of the sect to dispatch disciples to search for Zhao Lei's whereabouts. Of course …." When he spoke up to here, Zhao Jianfeng glanced at the three elders of Chen Xiaohai and said, "Chen Xiaohai's Zhao Clan should have received my message as well …."
The Seventh Elder, Zhao Yufan, stepped forward and bowed, "Senior Xiao, Senior Xue, this junior is also aware of this matter. On the day of the Lantern Festival, our Patriarch received a message from Senior Zhao and informed us of this matter. We also investigated the clan, but there was no trace of Zhao Lei …"
"… But later, when I went out to travel, I passed by the Mountain of Trapped Beasts and saw a female Celestial fighting with an Immortal Beast. She self-destructed due to her serious injuries. I didn't understand and hurried over. Only then did I find a baby girl sleeping soundly not far away. I was moved by the female Celestial's motherly love. I brought the baby girl and some of her belongings back to Chen Xiaohai and gave them to the female Celestial in the family to feed …"
At this point, Zhao Ting slowly flew out. She bit her lips and said, "Seventh Elder, this baby girl is my child, right?"
"Yes, it is …" Zhao Yufan nodded.
"Then … then you let me go undercover in the Phoenix Immortal Alliance …"
Zhao Yufan took out a broken Ink Immortal Eye and an ancient bronze lock and handed it to Zhao Ting, "This is what I left with you when I found you. On the day of the Lantern Festival, you were still young and I didn't know where you came from. In order to protect you, your mother didn't leave anything behind when she self-destructed. So I wanted to give these to you when you grew up. "
Just as Zhao Ting was about to take it, Zhao Jianfeng coughed lightly and said, "Seventh Elder didn't mention this before! This thing … "
"This thing was left behind by Zhao Ting's mother, naturally it's Zhao Ting's …" Zhao Yufan said lightly.
"But this thing was taken by Zhao Lei from my Zhao family's formation …"
"Who said it's your Zhao family's?" Xiao Hua said coldly, "There are many ancient bronze objects in the Immortal Realm. Could it be that Zhao Lei randomly picked one up and it's your Zhao family's?"
"Fellow Immortal Xiao …" Xue Yudong hurriedly said, "You can't say that …"
"Is this Xiao going to say that? Why … "Xiao Hua looked at Xue Yudong and said word by word," Do you have a problem with it? "
"Hehe, of course I have no problem with it!" Xue Yudong smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Jianfeng, "It depends on Fellow Immortal Zhao's opinion!"
If it wasn't for Xiao Hua's presence, Zhao Jianfeng would have snatched the ancient bronze lock the moment it was taken out. Unfortunately, when he raised his hand, Xiao Hua's sharp gaze had already swept over. Zhao Jianfeng actually hesitated, and at this moment, seeing Xue Yudong kick the ball back to him, he could only awkwardly say, "At this moment, Seventh Elder should first explain to this old man!"
"Yes, this junior is a little selfish …" Zhao Yufan looked at Zhao Ting and said, "After all, this junior watched Ting 'er grow up. I still want to give her something that can reveal her identity. I hope Senior Zhao can understand."
Zhao Ting took the lock and the Ink Immortal Pupil. Wannian glanced at the Ink Immortal Pupil, and tears fell from her eyes. She turned and handed the Ink Immortal Pupil and the ancient bronze lock to Xiao Hua.
"You don't have to give it to me. You can keep it yourself!" Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Seventh Elder, please explain it to me!"
"Yes, Senior Xiao …" Zhao Yufan replied and said, "When Ting 'er grew up, in … in the Zhao Family, she was not very proud. This junior wanted to let her find her identity, so I found the things from before. Before giving it to her, this junior took a look at it myself. This junior was shocked. It turned out that Ting 'er was the daughter of Zhao Lei and Jiang Ju. Zhao Lei had planned to join the Zhao Family in the Chen Xiaohai long ago. Who knew that before he reached the Chen Xiaohai, he received the news that the Zhao Family was looking for him. He did not dare to walk into the trap, so he found a remote place to cultivate. Unfortunately, he was discovered by the Carefree Immortal Alliance. In order to protect Jiang Ju and Zhao Ting's lives, he had no choice but to join the Carefree Immortal Alliance … "
"… This Ink Immortal Pupil must have been written by Jiang Ju when he was in danger. The record was not clear, and it did not say why Jiang Ju took Ting 'er to the Trapped Beast Mountain, nor did it say anything about Zhao Lei's whereabouts. Therefore, this junior asked Zhao Ting to sneak into the Charmed Phoenix Immortal Alliance to look for Zhao Lei … "
"Seventh Elder …" Xue Yudong said curiously, "Zhao Lei is clearly in the Carefree Immortal Alliance. Why did you ask Zhao Ting to go to the Charmed Phoenix Immortal Alliance?"
"Senior Xue, the Carefree Immortal Alliance is an alliance of male Loose Immortals, while the Charmed Phoenix Immortal Alliance is an alliance of female Loose Immortals. The two Immortal Alliances often fight. Ting 'er is a woman, so she can only go to the Charmed Phoenix Immortal Alliance …"
"Seventh Elder …" Zhao Fei 'er could not help but ask, "So Zhao Ting's going to the Charmed Phoenix Immortal Alliance … was not arranged by the Family Head?"
Zhao Yufan looked at Zhao Fei 'er and did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "After sending Ting' er to the Charmed Phoenix Immortal Alliance, I felt it was inappropriate, so I immediately went to see the Family Head. At that time, the Family Head was busy with the Chen Xiaohai Sea and the Sea City. Therefore, he asked me to come to the Qi Yun Ridge and report to Senior Zhao …"
Then, Zhao Yufan looked at Zhao Jianfeng and bowed. "… It's not that I didn't want to give you the things that Zhao Lei left for Ting 'er, but you didn't tell me what Zhao Lei had done at the beginning. Even when I came here, you didn't tell me what Zhao Lei had done. After that, Senior told me to send a message to my family's Patriarch, asking him to come over to discuss some important matters. Similarly, Senior didn't specify anything. It wasn't until Third Elder and Fifth Elder came over that Junior learned that Ting Er had been expelled from the Zhao Family that Senior explained the matter. At that time, I already knew that Ting 'er would come to find me in the future. I must give her the things that belonged to her parents! "
Xiao Hua asked calmly, "Fellow Immortal Zhao, when you asked Zhao Yufan to send a message to Chen Xiaohai, you must have sent someone to the Carefree Immortal Alliance, right?"
"Yes!" Zhao Jianfeng nodded. "Although the Carefree Immortal Alliance has merged with the Charmed Phoenix Immortal Alliance and is much more powerful than before, I can still get some information!"
"The Carefree Immortal Alliance and the Charmed Phoenix Immortal Alliance merged?"
Before Xiao Hua could say anything, Zhao Yufan asked curiously, "Why did the two Immortal Alliances merge?"
"Oh, it's not appropriate to call it a merger …" Zhao Jianfeng thought for a moment and replied, "I heard that the Alliance Head of the Carefree Immortal Alliance was killed, and the former Alliance Head of the Charmed Phoenix Immortal Alliance came back and took control of the Carefree Immortal Alliance with the help of an unknown Immortal. I don't know the details, but Zhao Lei isn't a Loose Immortal in the Carefree Immortal Alliance, and no Immortal has even seen him …"
Xue Yudong said with a smile, "Most of the members of the so-called Loose Immortal Alliance are competitive and brave. They are in a precarious situation, and even their Alliance Head was killed. Even if Zhao Lei was in the Alliance, he couldn't have escaped death …"
Zhao Jianfeng nodded. "There's another possibility. Since the Alliance Head of the Carefree Immortal Alliance forced Zhao Lei to join, he must have discovered something. It's more likely that he killed Zhao Lei to silence him!"
Zhao Jianfeng's guess was correct. Zhao Lei was indeed killed by Master Chao Hua of the Carefree Immortal Alliance, and the thunder stones on Zhao Lei's body were probably the key to opening the Great Protective Array that Zhao Jianfeng had mentioned.
However, at this time, only Xiao Hua knew about it. Xiao Hua couldn't say it in front of everyone.
"But no matter what the situation is …" Zhao Jianfeng looked at Zhao Ting and said, "Zhao Lei has disappeared. If my Zhao Clan wants to enter the clan's Great Protective Array, we can only rely on the things he left behind …"
Xiao Hua said faintly, "Fellow Immortal Zhao, when Xiao brought Zhao Ting over, you didn't want Zhao Ting and Xiao to enter Qi Yun Ridge at first. This shows that you have already arranged everything and have a card up your sleeve. Since that's the case, why do you still want Zhao Ting's things?"
"Indeed …" Zhao Jianfeng didn't hide it and said, "I have made a lot of plans. I invited the Array Master of the Formation Alliance and also invited Fellow Immortal Xue. However, Fellow Immortal Xue didn't agree at that time. I am not familiar with Fellow Immortal Xiao, and I can't see through Fellow Immortal Xiao's strength. Therefore, even if I know that Zhao Ting is Zhao Lei's daughter, I don't want to lose the big picture for a small gain! "
"But …" Zhao Jianfeng looked at Zhao Xin, the third elder of the Zhao Clan of Chen Xiaohai, and smiled bitterly, "Because Fellow Immortal Zhao Chong of Chen Xiaohai didn't come, and I want to borrow an Immortal Artifact of the Zhao Clan of Chen Xiaohai, I promised to find a Two Qi Immortal to help them. Since they want Fellow Immortal Xiao to help, I have nothing to say … "
"Zhao Yufan …" Xiao Hua smiled bitterly and said, "You trust Xiao too much."
Zhao Yufan bowed and said, "To be honest, I don't dare to trust Senior Xiao, but I trust Ting 'er. The master she chose … is definitely trustworthy!"
This flattery!
However, Xiao Hua didn't seem to enjoy it. Instead, he frowned.
As expected, Zhao Ting said in a low voice, "Master …"
"Haha …" Without waiting for Zhao Ting to finish speaking, Xiao Hua said with a smile, "There's no need to say anything. This old man has never placed the Zhao Clan's things in my eyes. What about you? Since you're already this old man's disciple, you must have a vision. This old man will support whatever choice you make.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Ting said gratefully, "Senior Brother once said that I must find a way to repay the kindness of others. Otherwise, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. I might even have some inner demons. Therefore, I want to understand the cause and effect of the Zhao Clan …"
"Okay!" Looking at this stubborn little immortal, and thinking about her misfortune, Xiao Hua nodded slightly.
"Senior Zhao …" Zhao Ting flew out and took out the Ink Immortal Eye and the Ancient Bronze Lock. She said respectfully, "Before I came to Qiyun Ridge, no, before I entered the main hall, I didn't know my background. Therefore, when Seventh Elder gave me the relics of my parents, I was confused and didn't know what to do! However, Junior has already thought it through. Junior's father is a disciple of the Zhao Clan, and everything he does is his own choice, so Junior won't judge anything. But … Junior's bloodline comes from the Zhao Clan, and Junior has already become a disciple of my Master. If Junior still possesses an important Immortal Artifact of the Zhao Clan, it might affect my Master's reputation. Now, Junior is willing to return what belongs to the Zhao Clan to the Zhao Clan, but Senior, please leave what belongs to Junior … to Junior! "
