What's going on?
The insults sounded unfamiliar, and Zhao Xi wanted to confirm that she had never heard them before.
In the sky, a group of immortals in yellow robes stood on gourds, spirit swords, and apricot branches, their hands forming incantations.
Golden light shot out from his fingertips, like needles, striking the core of the mountain gate's protective array.
These people are probably not demons.
When demons fight, they are all black and don't wear uniform Taoist robes.
The demon cultivators and the Five Spirits Hall cultivators immediately drew their magical artifacts and retaliated upwards, their spells exploding everywhere like fireworks. A crackling sound filled the air. The spells knocked down tree branches, and rocks and rubble tumbled down.
In the midst of the chaos, a stream of water suddenly climbed up Zhao Xixiang's feet, then engulfed her completely and pulled her backward.
"Huh?" Zhao Xi was startled, then felt herself being embraced in a warm hug.
Looking back, Lin Che condensed into shape from the water.
He lifted his straw hat, gazing at her with his amber eyes, his brows furrowed: "Were you hurt by falling rocks or branches?"
"No." Zhao Xi stuck out her tongue.
She had promised Lin Che to protect herself and not to reveal her ability to resist magic.
If they discover that she is a descendant of the fire god, it might cause other trouble.
Even if Lin Che hadn't reminded her, Zhao Xi thought she knew what to do.
Especially after she went to the Immortal Realm and happened to learn some news.
She quickly changed the subject, glancing up at Lin Che's outfit.
He wore a magnificent robe and a bamboo hat, and carried a mysterious sword at his waist.
This is clearly luggage for a trip.
"You've been out?"
"I was in a hurry, so I just put it on." Lin Che said, taking off his bamboo hat in preparation for putting on a mask.
"No need to take it off, it's fine to wear it like this."
The battle came suddenly, and by the time most of the demon cultivators who went to the Hundred Beast Garden discovered the enemy attack and many of them turned back, the spells stopped.
There were quite a few Kangnan demons, pangolin demons from the Middle Immortal Realm, cultivators from the Five Spirits Hall, and rogue cultivators present.
Even if those people above wanted to fight, they wouldn't dare to actually involve this group. If they accidentally attacked the wrong people, it could trigger a sect war.
While they were making their move, Zhao Xi looked up to observe the robes of the invading cultivators. Then, recalling the sect encyclopedia she had seen during the day, she had her answer.
A paper crane carrying news from the main mountain flew over.
Zhao Xi unfolded it to take a look: "It really is from Xinghua Valley."
Lin Che: "Why?"
Zhao Xi thought, "What a waste of time!"
Lin Che chuckled softly.
Zhao Xi thought, "My Hundred Beasts Garden isn't easy to bully. They come knocking on our door; do you think they can beat us on our own turf?"
Lin Che: "Don't let your guard down. The physicians of Xinghua Valley are skilled in medicine and understand spiritual energy. You can't match their flying needles with talismans and spirit stones."
"Okay, you follow behind me and let me handle this first. If I haven't insulted them enough, then you can make your move."
Zhao Xi wanted Lin Che to use his water manipulation technique to bring her to the public.
"The headmaster is back!" "Great! The teacher is here too!"
"Alliance Leader, these people are from Xinghua Valley!"
"Your Hundred Beasts Garden has been approached by people; you need to teach them a lesson!"
"That's not necessarily true. These are the medical immortals of Apricot Blossom Valley. It's difficult for them to break through defensive formations with flying needles, but killing a mortal would be an easy task for them."
Their gazes were mostly fixed on the richly dressed man standing behind them, and some even maliciously stirred up trouble, hoping to provoke the water god into making a move.
Zhao Xi tried to ignore it and looked up.
The Immortal Physician of Apricot Blossom Valley is a reclusive master who focuses on researching medical techniques for immortals and never participates in the conflicts of the lower realms. This time, however, he mobilized his entire force, sending dozens of people at once.
The master of Apricot Blossom Valley was an old man with a Taoist-like demeanor. He was thin, but his posture was upright, his eyes were clear, and he was in good spirits.
He recognized Zhao Xixiang. Seeing her return, he pointed at her with two fingers and shouted, "Zhao Xixiang, what are you trying to do by tricking my disciples into joining your so-called Demon Beast Alliance? You're just a mortal, yet you're spreading these lies and recruiting so many cultivators. Are you perhaps trying to embezzle their spirit stones and steal their magical artifacts?!"
Zhao Xi thought, "It's probably a misunderstanding. The alliance only accepts sects and doesn't recruit independent cultivators."
"Then why would my beloved disciple betray the sect and join your damned Five Spirits Hall? You must have been lying to me!"
Who is your beloved student?
"Wu Die has always devoted herself to the study of medicine, to saving all living beings and helping cultivators, and she is proud to become a medical immortal." The old man spoke with anger and urgency, shouting loudly, "Why did she join the Five Spirits Hall as a handyman? You stole my disciple! Give her back to me!"
Zhao Xi wanted to sweep her gaze across the crowd.
I just saw Wu Die and the rogue cultivator kneading dough together, but they've disappeared now.
She then sent someone to the Five Spirits Hall to inquire about the matter. The person had only taken a few steps when Luo Haiqing flew over on his sword, landed beside her, and whispered a few words.
"That little girl did fill out the Five Spirits Hall form just now, wanting to join. I didn't agree because I thought it would be too much trouble. I guess they have a way to control their disciples, that's why they found out so quickly."
Zhao Xi's eyelids twitched.
It was indeed this dancing butterfly who caused the trouble.
To be honest, what business is it of hers if someone betrays their sect? She neither restricted Wu Die's personal freedom nor brainwashed her like a virus.
People naturally strive for higher positions, so they should choose the place that is most beneficial to them, even though Zhao Xi didn't know how the Five Spirits Hall could help a medical immortal.
They had the servants of the Five Spirits Hall prepare a side hall, making it available for the people of Hundred Flowers Valley to discuss among themselves.
