After returning to the disciple's residence, Xihe had just opened the door when a heavy "hum" came from the side.
"Some people are so shameless! With just a useless spiritual root, they actually want to snatch things from the Ancient Phoenix. If we had known this would happen, the Sect Leader shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to let her stay. We should have kicked her out!"
Xihe paused, pushed open the door and walked into the yard.
Seeing that she ignored him, the disciple became furious: "Hey, I'm talking to you! Hua Shang!" He stepped forward and tried to pull her arm.
Xihe frowned, dodged, and looked at him expressionlessly. Her red lips and cold eyes were even more stunningly beautiful up close. The male disciple was stunned. Xihe twitched the corner of her mouth: "What?"
The disciple reacted and awkwardly withdrew his hand, his ears reddening. "I, I said you were trying to steal something from Little Phoenix. Venerable Moyu searched the world for rare treasures and waited for a thousand years for her to be born safely. Do you know that by doing this, you are wasting all his efforts?"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, angrily accusing her, "Yuqu Mountain has been so good to you, how can you repay kindness with hatred!"
After saying this, the disciples watching nearby nodded, looking dissatisfied: "That's right, if we had known this would happen, the master shouldn't have kept her." "That's too much."
Xihe looked over and found out everything in just half a day.
She lowered her eyes. Ever since she could no longer practice and moved here from Yuqu Palace, these people have always disliked her. Now, after hearing this, they were even more dissatisfied.
"You should ask the Kongtong elders about this matter. They have the final say on who gets the water from Tianchi Lake." She said calmly.
"Bah! Elder Kongtong is compassionate. How could he have stood by and watched you die if you stopped him from asking for help? You should have told him you didn't need the water from the Tianchi Lake and given it up!"
"That's right. You have a useless spiritual root that can't be cultivated. Giving you the water from the Tianchi Lake is just a waste."
"The little phoenix is a true phoenix from ancient times, so it can be used to its full potential."
…
They argued back and forth, aggressively pushing her to go and tell the Kongtong elder to give up the Tianchi water.
Gouzi was furious: "Xihe, let me go out and tear them apart! Why is it that when the heroine uses something, she makes the best use of it, but when you use it, you're just wasting it..."
"What are you doing? Stop it..."
Boom! The people who were surrounding them flew away like kites that had been taken offline.
Bang, it hits it.
Gou Zi and Xu Fu, who had hurried over, looked at Xihe's retracted hand.
Xihe straightened his sleeves and looked at Xu Fu with raised eyebrows.
Xu Fu: "...I just heard the news and came to see if I could help." He looked at the disciple wailing on the ground and said helplessly, "Hua Shang, you are too impulsive."
Xi He glanced at him and said, "So you think I should just accept my fate and waste a hundred years like ordinary people before dying, instead of fighting for a glimmer of hope?"
"Or do you also think that I am unworthy to compete with the Ancient Phoenix?"
Her eyes suddenly became sharp.
Xu Fu was startled and waved his hands: "Of course not, it's just that the little phoenix is the most precious treasure of Yuqu Palace, and everyone hopes that she can be born safely. If you told the headmaster about your difficulties, he might help you, but you are fighting with the little phoenix..."
"Rob?"
Xi He swung his sleeves and said, "People with different ideals cannot work together. From now on, we will just pretend we don't know each other."
The courtyard door slammed shut, locking everyone out and isolating them from the noise.
-
"I see that guy is quite worried about you. It's not impossible for us to be friends. Why did you break up with him?"
Xihe, dressed in plain clothes, sat cross-legged in the center of the formation. Spiritual energy surrounded her body and was slowly absorbed. Her eyebrows remained motionless: "Those with different beliefs cannot work together."
Gouzi: "...That's right! Tianchi isn't owned by their family, and the hero is asking for help. Why do they accuse us of stealing things just because we ask for help? Humph, they say they're so kind and friendly on the surface, but they still act like such a tyrant, don't they?"
"Tsk, Xu Fu seems okay at ordinary times, but he still doesn't act right at the critical moment."
Xihe frowned: "Shut up, don't disturb my practice"
The gouzi's words were stuck in his throat. He glanced at her and rolled his eyes: Fix it, fix it, your whole body is like a colander, there's no point in picking it up.
Xihe was immersed in cultivation, and she cultivated for three days at a time. When she woke up, she found several sound transmission notes at the door. The head of the sect called her to go to the main hall, but later said that she didn't need to go. One note was from Xu Fu, but she didn't read it and just put it aside. Surprisingly, there was also one from Nan Shiqing, who told her not to hesitate or be coerced by others because of rumors she had heard. She should do what she wanted.
She took out the last one and her eyes suddenly lit up. She set off for the sacred mountain today!
She quickly checked the time. Oh no, it was time to set off!
After sweeping her belongings into the storage bag, she rushed to the top of Yuqu Palace without stopping. Venerable Mo Yu had already boarded the flying boat, with the headmaster and the elders beside them. Only the master and disciple of Shenshan were reluctant to board the boat, and they kept looking towards the foot of the mountain.
"The time has come. Since that female disciple hasn't come, I guess she gave up on her own initiative. Venerable Kongtong, why don't you go first?"
"Wait a little longer, maybe she was delayed by something, there's no rush."
"Venerable Kongtong is nothing but a mere waste..."
"Master, here I come!"
The young disciple suddenly shouted.
Everyone turned around. Xihe climbed up the mountain, panting. "Sorry, I'm a little late and kept you waiting."
The elders were displeased with her and were about to teach her a lesson, but the Mo Yu Venerable on the boat said "Let's go", and they had to shut up. However, they still looked down on Xihe.
Xihe didn't care at all. He followed the Kongtong old man and his disciples onto the flying boat and set off for the sacred mountain.
The strongest man's immortal boat is not comparable to any ordinary flying boat. It feels like walking on flat ground and you can't feel any gust of wind. The boat is luxuriously decorated and all kinds of decorations are rare to see.
Shenxiu was amazed: "The First Venerable is indeed extraordinary. Compared with him, our Shenshan is really poor."
After touching here and there, the old man from Kongtong felt embarrassed in front of the guests and tried to explain: "Girl, our sacred mountain is not that poor..."
Xihe looked towards the west: "The sky has changed."
"What?" The old man from Kongtong was confused. When he saw the pitch-black sky, his expression suddenly changed. He began to count rapidly with his fingers.
After a while, his face suddenly changed and he looked terrified.
"Demon, demon..."
"A demon king has fallen." Venerable Mo Yu came out of the cabin at some point.
Everyone watched as the hideous and terrifying black fog in the sky was swallowed up by another giant in an instant. The giant stretched out its limbs, and all things in the world bowed their heads at this moment, trembling with fear.
Some low-level cultivators were even more unstable in mind and spirit, their cultivation dropped, and they screamed in pain.
Venerable Mo Yu quickly set up a barrier, and everyone felt a little better. Suddenly, his gaze paused, his brows furrowed, and he stared at one place.
Xihe glanced back indifferently, then looked up into the sky again. The voice of the old man Kongtong trembled in his ears: "Gods and demons, they are the ancient gods and demons."
Gouzi was even more excited: "Shao Heng, it must be Shao Heng! They have already reached the demon world!"
Xihe remained silent. She thought to herself, the rebellion has begun, the heroine is about to be born, and the plot will begin soon. And they will surely meet soon.
Suddenly I'm looking forward to it.
