through to the sixth level of foundation building, continuing to retreat seemed to have no further effect. Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment and ended his two-year seclusion. 。As soon as she came out,...“This Zhao Li is a relative of mine by blood, after all. He’s family, and over the years, he's done some things for our clan. He managed to get into the Yuan family, so it wouldn’t be right to abandon him now. Let him stay in the Yuan family and do what he needs to do.” 。"The old ape woman frowned and said" 。Thank you, seniors. 。Upon hearing this, Zhao Li was overjoyed, as if he had received a royal pardon. He hurriedly thanked the ape grandmother. 。"You don't need to thank me. Just remember that you are a member of the Zhao clan. Even if things get desperate, never betray the clan's secrets. Otherwise, I won't be able to forgive you then." 。The old ape instructed. 。“Yes, the junior will remember the senior's teachings.” 。Zhaoli's face was filled with gratitude as he said: 。Since the Ape Matriarch is speaking up for this young one, this matter will naturally be dropped. However, that Yuan Ying cultivator who suddenly appeared just now clearly had other motives. Since we few couldn't handle him, we need to report this incident as soon as possible and ask the elders of our clan to intervene. Only then do we have a chance of solving this person. 。The blue-scaled fish man said in a low voice. 。Although Zhao Li didn't dare to show any change on her face, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart after hearing this. This fellow was also a Nascent Soul ancestor. He was useless himself, yet he wanted to use her life to plug the loophole. 。It's truly shameful. 。" Lao Yu Gui said this makes sense, the current situation in Xiang Du is very complicated, with many factions vying for power. Just a few of us aren't enough to fully control the situation, we need someone much more powerful to take charge." 。The man with wrinkles, Zhao Tongshan, nodded in agreement. 。“It seems these few people have already become aware and are protecting Zhao Li tightly.” 。It's not a good idea to keep hanging around with these people. 。After the three had left, dozens of miles away, Lu Xia Tian emerged from the water with a thoughtful expression on his face. 。After a long while, they turned and left. These three nascent soul cultivators were not only incredibly powerful but also had sharp minds and extensive combat experience. 。Even with three of them together, Lu Xia Tian felt helpless. 。Even if you could get some information out of Zhao Li, it would probably only be peripheral stuff. 。Well then, I won't bother with this for now. 。"It seems I wasted a trip for nothing." 。It seems like there are no gains today. 。"Originally, I thought that the brewer could truly improve the recipe, but it seems we still have to wait. It's a long time until the spirit rice is prepared, who knows when that will be." 。I ran into Zhao Li again, and three more cultivators in the Yuan Ying mid-stage arrived. 。It's my own fault for being too hasty. If I hadn't touched the restriction, that wrinkled man would never have noticed anything unusual. I could have just waited for Zhao Li to come out, and then followed behind him. Things wouldn't have gone wrong at all. 。

Lu Xiaotian patted his forehead. This place was indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger land. If he thought that with his increased strength, he could relax a little, he would most likely fall into someone else's trap.

Just like this time, the man with wrinkles silently set a trap for him. If it were someone less skilled, they would have likely been caught. 。But it wasn't entirely without gain. At least we now know that the Zhao clan members who had surrounded and attacked Yuan Jing back then have returned to Xiangdu. 。I also tried out the effect of this congealed water-pearl jade. 。Lu Xiaotian reached out and clenched his hand. This water-condensing clam pearl was something he had obtained at an auction in Qingding City last time. It was a treasure used to conceal one's figure and breath underwater. Now, after trying it out, it was indeed very effective. Even at close range, the blue fishskin man who was proficient in water magic couldn't detect him at all. 。"Well then, let me contemplate the use of this Congealing Water Pearl once more." 。Lu Xia Tian's mouth twitched slightly, and he once again disappeared into the water. 。Not until several hours later, from a blue wave of water light, did several blue-skinned fish people appear again. 。It seems that Brother Tongshan is right. This person has already become wary and missed the opportunity. It will be even more difficult to catch him again. 。The blue-skinned fishman said solemnly. 。After returning to land, Lu Xia Tian changed into a blue long robe. Compared to the previous sallow and sickly scholar look, he now appeared with clear eyes and a cold gaze like a blade, exuding a cool and valiant aura. From his eyebrow ridge down to his cheekbone, a deep scar was visible all the way to the bone. 。Lu Xia Tian extended his finger and flicked it, the ice mirror formed from water droplets shattered into countless pieces. 。The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. With this easy-to-change pill, he could not only change his appearance but also his aura. It would be much more convenient to go out and about. 。After leaving the lake, Lu Xia Tian strolled around Xiangdu for over ten days, personally measuring the city. The more Lu Xia Tian explored, the more he felt the grandeur of Xiangdu. He marveled at the broad vision and extraordinary mind of the founding emperor who had designed this magnificent capital. 。"Master, the head of the Mengxiao Clan has arrived, saying he has important business to discuss with you." 。Lu Xia Tian stood quietly under the tower of Snow Peak, overlooking the endless snow-capped peaks. As he absorbed the magnificent scenery, he suddenly heard Yu Ya's voice transmission. 。I'm here 。Instantly, Lu Xia Tian shot into the air, rushing towards Yu Ya's courtyard like a bolt of lightning. 。Riding the wind all the way, after a short while, they arrived at the entrance of the small garden. 。"But what about my friend's news" Lu Xiaotian entered the small courtyard and saw the head of the Mangxiao family. He immediately asked. 。“Mr. Dongfang’s friend's news is in, but it's not good news.” 。"The head of the Mangxiao family looked rather dejected," 。“But what happened” Lu Xia Tian frowned and asked. 。"If that demonic cultivator is still at the Yuan family, then Yuan Tian wouldn't dare to not give me face." 。But now Mr. Dongfang's friend is no longer at the Yuan family, but Yuan Tianfang has already handed Mr. Dongfang's friend over to a powerful person in the royal family. 。This person is notorious for their eccentric personality and few people can match their cultivation. 。I do things entirely according to my own preferences, and I don't care about face at all. If it were up to me, I would go myself and even eat a bowl of shut-up soup. 。"The head of the Mawang household sighed with bitterness," 。It seems this person's cultivation is probably on par with the head of the Mangxiao Clan. 。Lu Xia Tian's pupils contracted. 。"It's not about being equal, but about surpassing Mengmo by a notch." 。This person's given name is Kuang, and they live up to their name. Their abilities are also impressive. 。Although I am the head of one of the Six Great Cultivation Families, the other party is a powerful figure among the Imperial Clan. They don't take me seriously at all. Even if I want to see my friend, I have to fight him first. However, with my strength, even if I fight, it will be difficult to succeed. 。“The master of the Mángxiāo household looked somewhat helpless,” 。"So you're saying that it would be difficult for me to see my friend" Lu Xia Tian frowned and asked. 。" Now, Mr. Dongfang, please remain calm. Although it's difficult to get your friend out right now, I believe we can find a way to arrange a meeting with him." 。There are not just one black prisons. Yuan Tianfang only gave up your friend from the East, and then lost contact. Let's try to confirm it first. 。Right now, Xiang Kuang has already left the Black Prison he managed. It will take some time for him to return. The Black Prison is not a single place, but the core of the royal family's powerful individuals. Each person has their own Black Prison under their command. Those who are not directly under his control or have received his orders cannot enter. 。When the others come back, I'll personally take you to confront him. 。As for the first thing Lu Xiaitian entrusted to him, the head of Mengxiao family didn't want to mess it up. 。 。"Thus, I shall trouble Master Meng of the Máng household." 。Lu Xia Tian nodded. Seeing that the head of the Mengxiao clan wanted to speak but hesitated, he smiled faintly. "Head Mengxiao, are you asking me to refine some pills for you" you'd like translated!"Forget about being released. However, if you're willing to cooperate, you can also achieve enlightenment and continue cultivating within this Demon Suppressing Pagoda. You can...
