er an unknown amount of time, the violent thunder-attribute power within the small furnace began to calm. Lu Xiaotian stretched out his palm and clapped it down. The furnace lid shot up several feet h..."Which two are possible" Xu Qin asked.

This person must either be a hermit who has been studying abroad, or everyone who has seen their true abilities is dead.

"Sigh, you're right, it's quite possible. If not in Xiangdu or within the depths of Heiyu, such a dangerous duel wouldn't have occurred. It's truly hard to say what would have happened otherwise. With someone so formidable, how did Qimei encounter them, and how did the two of you come to be at odds"

Xu Qin couldn't help but ask, "Such a formidable enemy, encountering him in Xiangdu is acceptable. After all, this is the imperial city. Even a slight disturbance could attract attention from all parties. Even if there was a grudge, they wouldn't dare to be too obvious.""After all, the strong within the royal family are not vegetarians. Even Great Cultivators arriving in Xiangdu have to behave themselves. However, things are different outside Xiangdu. Even in other parts of Xiangguo, encountering such a powerful enemy would be extremely dangerous."

Only when Xu Qin asked how the two met, Xiang Qingcheng couldn't help but blush, but she didn't directly reply to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin saw the expression on Xiang Qingcheng's face and felt a strange feeling in her heart. Xiang Qingcheng didn't say anything, but looking at her expression, she was afraid that there was something else going on, not as simple as an ordinary feud.

"Let's go back first. What is hidden within that azure spiritual fire that could wound my Mingguang Tongling Sword Bracelet I need to return and consult some records. What kind of thing is it" Xiang Qingcheng naturally wouldn't tell Xu Qin about the awkward first encounter with Lu Xiaitian. She made up a random excuse and quickly flew in the direction she came from.

Xu Qin felt a pang of doubt in her heart, muttering to herself about the last time she met Yu Ya and this man at Yuquan Mountain. Yu Ya, that fox spirit, had been extremely protective of this man, their relationship definitely wasn't simple. At the time on Yuquan Mountain, she hadn't thought much about it, just considering Lu Xia Tian as an ordinary Yuan Ying cultivator with some skills. But now it seemed, she was utterly wrong. It seemed she needed to find an opportunity to meet Yu Ya and ask about this person. Even if they couldn't become friends, at least she had to salvage the unpleasantness brought by these two consecutive encounters. Such a powerful person, if not necessary, absolutely couldn't be made into an enemy.

Just now, that sword-sheathing box could directly take his flying sword. This surprised Lu Xia Tian greatly. There was no warning at all. Within this competition, there were too many constraints. Although he had fought a few times with others, he had hardly seen any blood. Lu Xia Tian was quite uncomfortable with such a way of fighting. With his temper, if he fought against Xiang Qingcheng just now in another place, even if he wouldn't necessarily take her life, he would definitely have taken that sword-sheathing box away.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

First, there was the incident with Yu Ze, then the disguised woman earlier, and even the encounter with those cultivators from the Zhao clan. If it weren't for being in Xiangdu, if he had gone all out, he would have at least made some gains. However, the people he encountered were either deeply rooted or belonged to the Zhao clan. With his abilities, he couldn't take down all three of them without alerting the attention of the Yuan Ying old monster in Xiangdu. So he could only give up.

Although being in this place offers geographical advantages and allows for the relatively low-risk gathering of numerous spiritual beings, sacrifices must inevitably be made in other aspects. Lu Xia Tian shook his head.

"Eastern brother, you're being a little unfair now. We've been at this for so long, and I haven't seen you use any of the tricks you used against that Qingcheng girl."

Just as Lu Xiaotian regained his focus, a familiar voice rang out.

It was still Xiang Kuang, with his signature red flaming cloak and explosive hairstyle. Looking at Lu Xia Tian's eyes, there was a hint of displeasure, yet a strong interest as well.

"When will Brother Kuang be back" Lu Xiaoteng realized at this moment that the woman he had just fought with was named Xiang Qingcheng. Although she was using makeup to change her appearance, Lu Xiaoteng had already scrutinized her from head to toe and found her worthy of the name "Qingcheng." She truly possessed a captivating beauty. However, what puzzled Lu Xiaoteng was that this woman had also seen through his true appearance at a glance, which meant the Yi Xing Dan (Shape-shifting Pill) was ineffective against her. Perhaps she had cultivated a special technique or carried a mystical artifact on her person, like a hidden sword box, with extraordinary power.

“You two have come back since you started fighting. Those little flames are quite powerful, even I felt a bit threatened. And those thunder pearls aren't bad either. Let’s try it out.” Xiang Kuang acted like an ordinary person trying to build up his stance, rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight Lu Xia Tian.

"Brother Kuang, please don't smile at me anymore. My little spark of spirit fire is consumable, used for saving my life in critical moments. If Brother Kuang were to extinguish it, I would be left with nothing but tears."

Lu Xiaitian was startled by Xiang Kuang's words and subconsciously took a few steps back. Although the Fanluo True Fire was powerful, it did pose a threat to great cultivators. However, it also needed to be used properly. It was slow and, not to mention, great cultivators might still be able to deal with it, especially someone like Xiang Kuang who had already comprehended the true meaning of earth.

"It's boring." Xiang Kuang listlessly shook his head after hearing Lu Xiaoteng's words, "How was it fighting that girl Qingcheng just now"

“This person is extremely powerful. The power of his sword bracelet is no less than my sword formation. Even though I took advantage of his unpreparedness and confined his sword bracelet for a short time, if he truly went all out, I reckon we would still have a fight on our hands.” Lu Xiaoteng pondered for a moment and said.

“Winning is winning, it's not that big of a deal. You kid are just too humble. Even if that girl Cheng still has secret techniques, she's probably not your opponent. You, you might not be ruthless enough. If you really fought, Cheng would have less control over the battle than you. You're such an oddball. By the way, what's the story behind those Lei beads of yours They seem to have a bit of a heavenly tribulation vibe. They're unlike ordinary lightning thunder beads.” Xiang Kuang shook his head, then thought back to how Lu Xiaoxiao had used the Lei beads when battling Xiang Cheng just now.

“Lei Yuan Baozhu is refined from the source of thunder tribulation extracted from a Nascent Soul cultivator's tribulation. Its power surpasses that of ordinary Pleiades Fire Thunder Beads and Thunderfire Beads by a considerable margin.” Lu Xia Tian said truthfully.

"Lei Yuan Baozhu That's a rather unique technique." The Tibetan independence supporter pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Xiaottian's face with a slightly strange expression.

"Is there something wrong" Lu Xia Tian didn't understand why Xiang Kuang was looking at him like that, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

“The lass from the imperial family, Cheng, is the most promising candidate to advance to a great cultivator. Her swordsmanship skills are unrivaled among those at her level. You're the only one so far who can match her in swordsmanship. Cheng’s fame travels far and wide, attracting countless admirers who have all been defeated by her. It's said that she has made a vow to find a Dao companion. Besides finding someone worthy of her, they must also defeat her fairly. You are the first one to accomplish this.” Xiang Kuangye said, “How about it Are you interested in Cheng I think you’re quite a good match for her. You're strong and capable, but not arrogant at all. If you're willing, I can introduce you two.”ly matter much to my clan anyway. Now you can let him go." Jinzhendao said."I'm just returning what was given to me. If you want to make a move, I advise you to gather more people before doing so." L...
