Xiao Hua smiled bitterly. He looked at the empty plaza and did not rashly take a step forward. Xiao Hua's purpose in coming to the capital of Xuan Country was to enter the Fire Spirit Holy Palace. Now that he had entered, he did not want to mess things up because of some rash actions.
Indeed, in the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Zou Ming's figure appeared out of thin air.
Zou Ming transmitted his voice, "Zhang Qishe, wait for a moment. I will bring you to the altar."
"Altar?" Xiao Hua was shocked. He looked up at the high platform in the distance and became alert.
Zou Ming flew in front of Xiao Hua and smiled. "This square is an illusion. There is an immortal array inside. If you are not careful, you will fall into the array. Zhang Qishe, follow me. You must be careful."
Xiao Hua's eyes turned quickly. He replied, "Thank you, sir!"
Zou Ming flew high and low. Xiao Hua focused and followed closely. After about the time it took to eat a meal, Xiao Hua's eyes lit up. The high platform became clear, as if it was right in front of him.
The high platform appeared. The square behind Xiao Hua disappeared. Military tents were arranged around the high platform. Below the high platform was a sea of fire. From time to time, waves of fire would rush out from the sea of fire.
"Zhang Qishe …" Zou Ming led Xiao Hua past the military tents and stopped above the sea of fire. He smiled. "I can only send you here. The altar is forbidden. Those who are not of the royal bloodline and do not have the king's order cannot come close."
"But …" Xiao Hua said curiously. "The punishment order has disappeared. How … how can I come out?"
"That is not something I can know!" Zou Ming replied. "Without the order token, you can't come in again. According to my guess, if you want to go out again, it will be with the crown prince!"
"Alright …" Xiao Hua cupped his hands. "Thank you, sir. I will go now."
"Haha, I will wait here for Zhang Qishe to come out!" Zou Ming said meaningfully. "When Zhang Qishe comes out, it will be the day of his meteoric rise."
"Haha, thank you for your kind words!" Xiao Hua said as he flew toward the high platform.
When Xiao Hua was in the Mortal Realm, he had encountered many altars and traps. Therefore, he activated his immortal power and hid the Frost Sword in his left hand in his body as he carefully flew closer. However, to Xiao Hua's surprise, there was nothing unusual even when he flew close to the high platform. However, he did not dare to let his guard down. His figure slowly floated down to the high platform.
BOOM! Xiao Huagang had just landed when a beam of light fell from the sky above the high platform, enveloping him in an instant. This beam of light was so powerful that Xiao Huayu simply couldn't resist it.
"F * ck …" Xiao Hua's figure soared into the sky along with the beam of light. He cursed in his heart. "Luckily, Xiao came in openly. If he had snuck in like last time, with Xiao's strength … how could he have reached this place?"
On the beam of light was a banner embroidered with the Vermilion Bird totem. Xiao Hua's figure touched the banner. The banner suddenly opened and a door appeared in the void. Xiao Hua's figure fell into it.
Xiao Hua felt that he had landed on solid ground. The light in front of him lifted like a veil and a quaint courtyard appeared in front of Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua coughed softly and raised his voice. "I am Zhang Xiaohua. May I ask if there are any immortals in the courtyard?"
Xiao Hua called out several times in a row, but there was no sound in the courtyard. Xiao Hua thought for a moment, then stepped inside …
Ignoring the fact that Xiao Hua had entered the Fire Spirit Saint Palace, Yan Fei hesitantly looked at the patrolling immortal soldiers in front of the Zhaoyan Prince's residence. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before flying over.
"Stop …" An immortal soldier flew out and blocked Yan Fei's path. He shouted, "This is the prince's residence. Immortals are not allowed to come near!"
"Hehe …" Yan Fei smiled and said, "I am Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Qishe's good friend. I'm here to visit Zhang Qishe."
Hearing Yan Fei mention Zhang Xiaohua, the immortal soldier's expression softened. He said, "Senior, please wait for a moment. I will inform him."
"Thank you!" Yan Fei nodded. He stood at the side of the gate and looked at the heavily guarded prince's residence. "I have been back for a long time. During this time, there has been no movement from the Frozen Scar. It seems that I have to borrow Zhang Xiaohua's power to enter the prince's residence to investigate. I hope I can find something!"
Not long after, Miao Quan, who was dressed in battle armor, hurriedly flew out. Seeing Yan Fei, she smiled and cupped her hands. "Immortal friend, I am the prince's residence's deputy cavalry, Miao Quan. How should I address you?"
Yan Fei had naturally seen Miao Quan before. He pretended not to know and returned the greeting. "So it is Miao Qishe. I am Yan Fei. I wonder if Zhang Qishe … "
"Hehe, Zhang Qishe is on a business trip under the orders of the Empress!" Miao Quan smiled and replied, "He is not in the prince's residence right now."
"I see!" Yan Fei could not help but feel disappointed. He nodded and said, "If that is the case, then I will take my leave. When Zhang Qishe returns, I will come and visit him again!"
"Oh, Immortal friend Yan, don't be anxious …" Miao Quan hurriedly said, "Zhang Qishe will not be back for a while. Immortal friend Yan, can you leave a message? When Lord Zhang returns, I will inform you!"
"No need …" Yan Fei waved his hand. Miao Quan immediately interrupted him and said with a smile, "Immortal friend Yan is my Lord Zhang's good friend. If I don't leave a message, it will be hard for me to explain when he asks!"
"I see …" Yan Fei pondered whether he should leave a message. Yan Fei said, "By the way, Immortal friend Yan, my Lord is not here. Since you are looking for him, why don't you give me a chance and let me host you on behalf of my Lord? What do you think?"
"Alright …" Yan Fei was secretly happy when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Then I will have to trouble Miao Qishe."
"You are welcome …" Miao Quan was also very happy and said with a smile, "You are my Lord's good friend. Since my Lord is not here, I will naturally take good care of you. Please …"
One had the intention to befriend him and wanted to investigate the traces of the Lost Traces in the prince's mansion. The other had the intention to inquire about Xiao Hua's background for the Ying Fei. Both of them had their own plans and came together. As for who would gain the most, only the Heavenly Dao would know!
In a seemingly desolate foothill in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, large and small rocks were tumbling down messily. The forest within a radius of more than a hundred miles was destroyed. It looked as if Immortals had just fought. The silver sunlight of the Soaring Serpent Day shone in the sky. Tens of thousands of Immortal Spiritual Qi condensed into a chaotic whirlpool.
There were no Immortal Birds flying by, no Immortal Beasts moving about. Everything was quiet amidst the chaos. At this moment, a soft "Shua …" sound was heard. In midair, a whirlpool that was more than a hundred feet in size suddenly shot out earth-yellow spikes. Before the spikes had even condensed, a huge Black Tortoise Spiritual Form was born. Once the Black Tortoise Spiritual Form appeared, an abundant aura swept through the surrounding hundred miles of space, instantly smoothing out the tens of thousands of whirlpools.
Once the whirlpool was smoothed out, the hundred miles of space condensed into a huge mirror. This mirror collapsed into the Black Tortoise Spiritual Form. In the blink of an eye, a deep hole with black and white patterns was formed. Just as the hole formed, a distorted human figure was revealed. With a soft "Pu …" sound, the human figure flew out of the hole. The hole actually burst like a bubble. This burst rapidly spread and affected the Black Tortoise Spiritual Form. When the Black Tortoise Spiritual Form shattered, a soft "Shua" sound was heard. All light and shadows fell like rain. In less than half a cup of tea's time, the area within a hundred miles of the foothill was restored to its original state.
The human figure that had flown out earlier was now slowly condensing in the air above the foothill. Finally, it turned into a young Immortal who was not very tall. Wasn't this the Immortal Xi Long who had come to Helan Que through the transportation array with Yan Fei?
Xi Long was dressed in a white robe. His eyebrows were slanted upwards, making him look rather otherworldly. However, his face was a little pale and there were some cracks on his white robe. He even looked at the spot where the whirlpool Spiritual Form had disappeared and let out a long sigh. "Phew … I'm finally out! Damn, the Tiger Division's army is really not to be underestimated. Even with my abilities, I still suffered a small loss. If I were to tell others about this, I'm afraid no Immortal would believe me, right? "
As he spoke, Xi Long looked around and whispered, "This place might not be safe. If that bastard Jie Ming gets angry, he might come after us. Let's get away first."
"But where should we go? I came from Helan Que. Naturally, I can't return to Helan Que. It seems like we can only go in the direction of the Evil Dragon Abyss! "
"Forget it. Let's go first. Once we find a quiet place, I'll take out the Dark Cherry and take a look!"
After identifying the direction, Xi Long raised his hand and took out a black Immortal boat. When Xi Long landed on the boat, he waved his sleeve. "Buzz, buzz …" The Immortal boat rumbled. Black light surged out from the boat like ink. The light turned into a vague Black Tortoise Spiritual Form. As Xi Long's body flashed with silver light, the Immortal boat turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the void.
When the flying boat reappeared, it was already in a boundless Immortal Forest. After Xi Long let Wannian out for a look, he kept the Immortal boat and landed in the sky above the Immortal Forest.
"This place is not bad …" Xi Long smiled. With a wave of his hand, a green Immortal Artifact in the shape of a net appeared.
"Boom, boom, boom." Hundreds of green balls shot out thick pillars of light from the Immortal Artifact and landed on the Immortal Trees in the Immortal Forest. The Immortal Trees that were hit did not collapse. Instead, they expanded like balloons and pierced into the balls. When the hundreds of Immortal Trees emerged from the Immortal Forest, the Immortal Artifact in the shape of a net had already enveloped a radius of tens of kilometers.
Xi Long cautiously let Wannian out again to take a look around. Then, he urged his body to enter the space enveloped by the Immortal Artifact. A green light flashed and the Immortal Artifact in the shape of a net disappeared. Everything returned to normal, as though Xi Long had never been here.
Xi Long looked at the Immortal Forest around him with satisfaction. He sat down cross-legged and took out an Immortal Artifact in the shape of a flower bud. He spat out a mouthful of Immortal Qi and the Immortal Artifact emitted a faint green halo. Then, cherry blossom-like lights flew out from the Immortal Artifact.
The Jubilee Dragon's eyes narrowed slightly. Rings of scars appeared in its black pupils within the jade halo. Faintly discernible pillars of light shot out from the scars. The pillars of light landed on a cherry blossom shadow, and with a hum, the shadow blossomed like a flower. Countless illusions surged out from within.
Within the illusions, scenes of what happened in Yuan Ling Mountain were vaguely revealed.
Xi Long looked at it for a moment. Suddenly, he had a thought. He pointed with his left index finger and the lights stopped in mid-air. The illusions also stopped.
Within the lights, Xiao Hua's blurry figure appeared. Looking at the surroundings, it was the Immortal Infant Cave …
