If the Lu family's ancestral land had not left a back door for its descendants, it would be impossible for Lu Zhu to get any benefits from the ancestral land.
When the topic turned to hatred, Lu Zhu lost interest in continuing the conversation. He quickly stood up and said goodbye, returning to his room.
Xiang Sheng closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed, but he couldn't enter a state of meditation.
That day, while she was in the market to inquire about the news of Xuanwang City, she pretended to choose something in front of a stall, but suddenly found that the pattern on a piece of gold paper on the stall was very similar to the one she saw in the secret room at the bottom of the cliff, so she bought it without saying a word.
If she hadn't turned back to confirm, she would probably still be secretly congratulating herself on her good luck, or studying the mystery within that page of gold paper.
Now, two days have passed since she got the gold paper, but she has never taken it out to look at it once.
Is that old man a human or a ghost? Is he a friend or an enemy? And how did he find her?
Is it the blood ring? Or the stone disc inside the blood ring?
Too many doubts lingered in his mind. Xiang Sheng took a deep breath and suppressed his irritability.
She always remembered the letter left by Senior Qingtian in the secret room, which repeatedly emphasized that the stone disk would bring great disaster. Therefore, she was always cautious and never showed the stone disk to anyone.
If she is still targeted, then it can only be said that this is destined. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, she cannot escape it. She might as well study what mystery is hidden on the gold paper.
But now she is still at the critical juncture of heading to Xuanwang City, her future is uncertain and her mind is unsettled. It will not be too late to discuss everything after she fulfills her promise and sends Lu Zhu safely into the city.
…
Before dawn the next day, Xiang Sheng and Lu Zhu rushed to the south city gate, but they didn't expect that many wandering cultivators were already waiting there, so they arrived quite late.
There were people of all ages in this group, standing separately, with alert looks on their faces, and no one approached each other.
He glanced at Xiang Sheng and stopped looking. He and Lu Zhu stood casually in an open space waiting.
As the sky brightened, more and more independent cultivators came over. Three or five of them who knew each other gathered together, and there were some very small conversations, but the whole place remained silent.
Xiang Sheng observed silently without saying a word.
It was almost noon when the real person finally showed up.
Phew! !
With a loud cry, a strong wind swept down, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
A giant eagle that was ten feet long swooped down with its wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun. Its mighty momentum made the monks present look horrified.
"Spiritual bird!"
"This is the spiritual bird of Tianqing Pavilion!"
"Didn't they say that all the spiritual birds in Tianqing Pavilion were rented out half a month ago? How come there are still some?"
Boom!!!
A loud bang drowned out the sound of conversation, and the giant eagle landed steadily. Its sharp eyes swept over everyone in the field, with hostility in its eyes and a hint of greed. The cold-faced man standing above its head stomped his feet slightly, and the desire in his eyes disappeared. It spread its wings and stood still.
The scholar standing behind immediately jumped down. He first bowed respectfully to the stern-faced man, then turned around and shouted loudly: "The spiritual bird has arrived, come up quickly, don't waste time!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone dared not delay and hurriedly walked up from both wings, including Xiang Sheng and the other two.
After dozens of breaths, everyone had climbed onto the back of the spirit bird. Many of them looked excited and started chatting.
"This is my first time riding a spirit bird..."
"Who isn't? How can casual cultivators like us have the chance to ride on such a luxurious thing?"
“…”
The scholar's eyes swept over the scattered cultivators who were chatting happily, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he whispered, "Senior, we can set off now."
Xiang Sheng had been watching the scholar's movements since he boarded the spiritual bird. When he saw that expression on his face, his heart suddenly tightened. He immediately grabbed Lu Zhu, who was still looking around, and made him squat down suddenly.
The next moment, the giant eagle raised its head and let out a loud cry, then instantly soared into the sky.
The ascent was too sudden, and several Qi Refining Stage cultivators standing on the edge lost their balance, screamed, slipped and fell, hitting the ground and exploding into a pool of blood.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The strong gale swept over like a knife. The cold-faced man above the spiritual bird blocked most of it, but there were still a few sporadic gale that passed through and flew over Xiang Sheng's head, splitting the acquaintance behind him into more than a dozen pieces, and falling in the wind.
Lu Zhu squatted on the ground, looking at the bloody corpses slowly sliding down behind him, his face pale with fear.
Almost, just a little bit...
If Sister Shen hadn't predicted it and helped him in advance, he would be one of these corpses now!
At this moment, there was deathly silence on the back of the spirit bird. Only the whistling of the wind could be heard in the ears, and no more conversation could be heard.
