Chapter 10010 The Hongmen Banquet
bass!
The sword flying in the air blocked Shi Hua's sword.
Wei Shizhou was shocked and fell to the ground in a daze, looking at Chi Qingxuan's sword-holding hand frozen by frost, with his mouth wide open.
"Master, your hand..."
"No problem."
Chi Qingxuan frowned and shattered the frost on his hands, looking down at him: "Stay away, Master didn't tell you not to come near."
“Yes! Yes!”
Wei Shizhou wished he could hide eight feet away.
What is this evil woman doing?
Every time I see her, something bad happens!
Xiancao curled up in his arms, her heart also beating fast.
"Scare the grass to death."
Wei Shizhou just realized that he still had something in his arms.
He pulled out the magic grass with a serious face.
"Why are you hiding from me? You almost killed me!"
Xiancao just whimpered, trying to get away with it.
If it doesn't hide, it will be the one that dies!
Wei Shizhou couldn't stand its whimpering sound, which was too noisy, so he impatiently shook it off and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Xiancao stopped and swayed a bunch of red leaves above his head.
"Little Grass, Little Grass doesn't know either! After the Immortal Venerable ate the leaves of Little Grass, he was attacked by the magic."
"Backlash?"
Wei Shizhou didn't remember mentioning this in the storybook.
Xiancao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's the backlash of the Immortal Venerable's practice of the dual arts of ice and fire!"
I see.
At that time in the dragon's cave, Shi Hua used two techniques, one ice and one fire, one after another, making him feel like he was in a world of ice and fire in the cave.
He thought that this evil woman would not suffer any backlash, and she was so bold as to practice this kind of mutual promotion and mutual restraint technique.
Wei Shizhou narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people in the ruins.
Chi Qingxuan was painting a protective spell for Shi, helping her to concentrate and calm her mind, and sort out the spiritual energy that was running wild in her body.
It will take at least an hour or two to finish the protection.
Wei Shizhou kicked a conceited fairy grass.
"Hey! Xiaocao, you were with the Immortal Venerable just now. What do you think of her?"
Xiancao was still worried that the leaves it had just grown were burned off again, and was kicked unexpectedly. It was so angry that it had nowhere to vent.
The grass under the eaves has to bow its head.
It endures!
The fairy grass flatteringly stretched out its vines to massage his legs.
"The Immortal Venerable is naturally the best..."
"Tell the truth."
Xie Annas has a filter for Shi Hua and can't stand what he says. Wei Shizhou needs a fair evaluation.
He found that this evil woman was quite different from the one in the storybook.
How strange.
Immortal Grass hesitated for a moment, then confirmed that he wasn't joking before choosing her words: "Immortal Venerable... My first impression of you was that you were very powerful and you couldn't afford to offend me... Later, when I saw you practicing the dual arts of ice and fire, I felt that...you were a puzzling person."
Wei Shizhou squatted down, grabbed its thin vines, and became interested.
"Oh, what's the puzzle?"
"The art of ice and fire is the purest and most powerful technique in the world. No one would practice dual techniques unless absolutely necessary. The backlash in the Immortal Venerable's body was caused by his practice."
"Xiaocao doesn't understand human emotions, but he can feel that the Immortal Venerable's strength is forced upon him and he has no choice."
It absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and belongs to the natural force of heaven and earth, just like the art of ice and fire. It can sense the backlash of the art in the body of the painter, which is very painful but necessary.
laugh!
Another idiot.
Wei Shizhou was not entirely convinced by its evaluation.
What do you mean by being forced to do so and having no choice? Then why bother to endanger his life?
The slight impression that had improved was instantly wiped out after recalling the plot of the story.
"Shizhou, you go back first."
Chi Qingxuan's weak voice came slowly.
Wei Shizhou restrained his expression and lowered his eyebrows: "Yes, Master."
Xiancao grabbed his legs and yelled, "Take Xiaocao with you! Take Xiaocao with you!"
*
Chi Qingxuan hid the backlash of his painting spiritual power very well from everyone.
Wei Shizhou was beaten by him and only felt relieved after he swore not to tell anyone about it.
Three days had passed since the last backlash explosion. When Xie An recovered from his injuries and returned home, he found that his home was gone and turned into ruins. He ran to find his master crying but was stopped by Chi Qingxuan who pressed his head.
He handed it over to Wei Shizhou and let the two of them live there for a while.
This was the first time that Shi Hua suffered such a severe backlash.
"Huahua, are you feeling better?"
Jin Qing looked at her worriedly, "Take these elixirs first, I'll make some more when we get back."
Qingxuan also had worry in his eyes, and discussed solutions with Chi Qingxuan.
Apart from the Nine Realms Snow Lotus, there seems to be no other safe way.
Qingxuan sighed: "I have to endure it for at least three years."
The one from Jianchen Sect is still a time bomb.
Shi Hua knew they were worried about him, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's just a small backlash, look how scared you are. With my level of cultivation, how can I be afraid of it?"
The two immortals thought about it and agreed with this.
In the eyes of those who cultivate immortality, the level of cultivation required to overcome tribulations is like the unattainable sky, which cannot be easily touched.
Only the one from Lingyuan Pavilion can rival him.
"Alright." Chi Qingxuan interrupted the conversation, hoping they wouldn't discover anything. The less they knew about his realm fall, the better. "Bixu Palace sent two letters, one thanking them and one inviting them."
Jin Qing tilted his head to look at him, his tone somewhat sinister: "Oh, it's rare that the Palace Master has the good grace to thank us. I thought she had made up her mind to never have anything to do with us again."
"cough!"
Qingxuan's eyes stopped his nonsense.
The grudge between Xuanyin Immortal Sect and Bixu Palace happened thousands of years ago, why are you still holding on to it?
Right now, the world of immortal cultivation should unite as one and concentrate on cultivation.
Qingxuan smiled gently and said, "I wonder what the Lord of Bixu Palace wants to thank you for?"
Chi Qingxuan glanced at Shi Hua and said, "Thank you Immortal Venerable Shuyu and others for strangling the dragon and avenging her disciple."
All the sects had heard about the death of the beloved disciple of the Lord of Bixu Palace at the claws of a dragon, but the two sects had been holding a grudge for a long time, and it was hard to believe that they were expressing their gratitude simply for this.
Jin Qing showed a look of astonishment and sneered, "Where's the invitation?"
"Invite the person who strangled the dragon and hold a banquet to express our gratitude."
It goes without saying who the invited guests are.
Jin Qing rolled his eyes: "Those are all geniuses of our sect, how can they go there easily? Everyone knows that my Xuanyin Immortal Sect has accepted a disciple with a heavenly-level immortal bone. I'm afraid this is their plan!"
Qingxuan disagreed: "Not entirely. The two sects have been feuding for many years, and it's time to find a chance to reconcile."
Jin Qing still didn't believe it: "The hatred of killing relatives, can be reconciled just like that——"
“That’s enough!”
Chi Qingxuan suddenly interrupted them with a roar.
His usually kind face looked a little gloomy.
"It all depends on what Senior Sister thinks."
Shi Hua looked up at the three of them.
Everyone is waiting for her to make the final decision.
Shi Hua took out an electric whip and handed it to Qing Xuan: "I remember you were missing a handy magic weapon. I happened to encounter a dragon and refined it using its dragon tendons."
Qingxuan showed his delight and tried the feel of the hand: "Not bad, very comfortable. Thank you for the painting."
One of the three gentlemen is missing in today's meeting.
Shi Hua asked whether Wu Ji was still in seclusion. Without waiting for Chi Qingxuan to answer, Jin Qing burst into laughter.
Youdao was the worst experience in Wu Ji's life.
Shi Hua hadn't asked about the sect's affairs for a long time, but he was curious.
"Huahua doesn't know, but Wu Ji's disciple has been practicing with him all these years. Two years ago, he suddenly expressed his feelings for Wu Ji, which frightened Wu Ji so much that he went into seclusion overnight. Last night, he came out of seclusion and was caught by his disciple..."
Wu Ji was so frightened that he fled from the sect.
His apprentice was also brave and chased after him closely.
Shi Hua was stunned when he heard this.
If she remembered correctly, Wu Ji accepted a male disciple, right?
Qingxuan was helpless: "Okay, let Wu Jiting go and fight you again."
Jin Qing is not afraid of him.
It would be nice to have someone to calm down the cold and sarcastic people on weekdays.
Shi Hua sighed and got back to the point: "I can't afford to offend the Bixu Palace either, so I'll take them to the banquet..."
Qingxuan looked at her and said, "I'll go with Huahua."
Shi Hua paused: "Okay."
Jin Qing refused to give in: "You all go out, what about me? I'll go too—"
Chi Qingxuan picked him up with an expressionless face: "You stay and watch the sect with me."
Watching the two of them quarreling and leaving, Shi Hua couldn't help laughing. He looked at Qingxuan and saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.
Qingxuan joined the Xuanyin Immortal Sect earlier than Jinqing, so there are some things that Jinqing is not aware of.
The grudge between Bixu Palace and Xuanyin Immortal Sect was all due to the incident between Chi Qingxuan and the previous Palace Master of Bixu Palace.
The current Palace Master of Bixu is the younger sister of the previous Palace Master.
She hated Chi Qingxuan for killing her sister. After taking charge of the Bixu Palace, she hated the Xuanyin Immortal Sect to the core and used various methods to compete for its disciples over the years.
She even went crazy at one point, and Shi Hua came to her rescue in time.
As Qingxuan said, some things need to be reconciled at this Hongmen Banquet.
Chi Qingxuan was unable to go to Bixu Palace, so they had to do it for him.
*
To show their sincerity, Bixu Palace personally sent maids to the city gate to welcome them.
A group of people flew to the gate of Ji'an City on their swords.
There is a king in the city of Ji'an, who leads the people of the city to live in peace and prosperity.
The Palace Master of Bixu Palace is the king's third daughter. She entered Bixu Palace with her elder sister since she was young and has practiced hard for a hundred years. If her elder sister had not died, she would not have taken the position of Palace Master.
The Bixu Palace is located in the northwest corner of the royal city, but the palace master's banquet is held in the royal palace.
Xie An stood at the foot of the city gate and looked up at the sky full of yellow sand, his face covered with sand.
"Why is Bixu Palace in the desert?"
It is said that the Bixu Palace is like spring all year round with pleasant scenery, and it is the second most beautiful place in the world of immortal cultivation. But why is it that when I came here today, it is full of sand and dust?
Qingxuan frowned slightly, seeming to be puzzled.
The wind and sand are fascinating.
The air around the royal city was also very thin, and the smell of dust was so strong that it was choking.
A row of women in purple skirts walked towards the city gate from afar. They stood in two rows. The woman in the lead had a veil covering her face and a purple headscarf on her head. She saluted Shi Hua and others.
"Greetings to the Immortal Master Shuyu and the Immortal Lord Qingxuan."
"please--"
Shi Hua nodded and walked at the front of the team.
After entering the royal city, the wind and sand weakened.
The sand underfoot was soft, and the houses on both sides were hidden in the wind and sand, appearing and disappearing. No one from the royal city was seen on the streets.
Ding Dong!
The system suddenly came online.
[Congratulations to the Immortal Venerable for triggering the hidden plot. Please successfully complete the Royal City's Lament plot point. If the mission fails, you will be punished with five thunder strikes.]
Shi Hua paused.
Hidden plot? The wailing of the royal city?
The story of Bixu Palace was not mentioned in the story that the system told at the beginning.
