Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 84 What am I expecting?
Seven years have passed. If someone said that Xu Qianxing had reached perfection in foundation building, Gu Xiaoxing would believe it. After all, he had seen what a genius the other party was in the foundation building mountain.
But when Lu Linger reached the perfection of foundation building, Gu Xiaoxing found it a little hard to believe, because in his memory, she didn't look like the material for cultivation. But when he looked at her again, he found that she had changed a lot. Not to mention other things, the murderous aura she exuded at this moment was something she had never had before.
In the field, the two women were confronting each other fiercely, their eyes were so cold to the bone, but compared to Xu Qianxing, Lu Linger seemed even colder, with some evil aura surrounding her body.
"Boy, how did you get out?" The Sanyang Spirit Refining Furnace appeared next to Gu Xiaoxing at some point.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the two equally matched women in the arena, and subconsciously spoke indifferently, "I am Gu..."
Xu Qianxing's eyes fixed, and he looked over as if he heard something.
Gu Xiaoxing quickly stopped talking and said to the furnace with his spiritual sense: "How can a mere foundation-building mountain trap me, Gu Xiaoxing!"
At this moment, there was a roar in the field, and the two women retreated at the same time. In fact, they were both trying their best to suppress it, otherwise, with their perfect foundation building skills, this street might not be enough for them to fight. Obviously, they also knew that this was the territory of the Body Refining Sect after all.
"Hmph! You must be Lu Linger from the Soul-Devouring Sect, right?" Xu Qianxing waved the sword in his hand and said coldly.
"Hmph! So what?" Lu Linger also snorted coldly and responded in the same tone as the other party before. She was actually very unconvinced and wanted to rush forward.
Gu Xiaoxing was also ready to take action at this time. He was determined to help the little girl. He had always disliked those people from the Yu Jian Sect, and since it had come to this, he might as well beat them up first.
The rest of the members of the Sword Controlling Sect were also sharpening their swords and preparing to join the battle. Just as a big battle was about to break out, a voice interrupted them.
"Ling'er, stop it!"
I saw a few more people walking out from the corner of the street.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at him carefully and was immediately startled. He asked, "Uncle Bai?"
The people who came out were led by the Soul-Devouring Sect's great elder, Bai Zhenren, Bai Lang. Behind him were a few familiar faces, namely Chen Zili, Li Wenru and Bai Xiangtian.
"Gu Xiaoxing?" It was Bai Xiangtian who spoke first among the few people. At this moment, he was looking at Gu Xiaoxing with such shock that he could hardly say anything.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiaoxing secretly thought that something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment, a cold gaze came over, and who else could it be but Xu Qianxing.
"It's you!" At this moment Xu Qianxing no longer had that kind of calmness, staring at Gu Xiaoxing with gritted teeth.
Lu Linger stood in front of Gu Xiaoxing, raised her eyebrows, glared at him, and said coldly: "If you want to bully my brother, you have to get past me first!"
"Do you really think I can't defeat you?" Xu Qianxing was obviously really angry. He raised his hand and nine swords flew into the air.
Gu Xiaoxing thought they were the nine top-grade magic flying swords from before, but when he took a closer look, he saw that they had turned into nine magic flying swords. He stepped forward and protected the little girl behind him.
“That’s enough!”
Just as the fight was about to break out again, an old man dropped from the sky with a voice like thunder.
Xu Qianxing could only snort coldly, put away his magic sword, bowed to the old man, and said, "Master Qin!"
This old Qin was their protector on this trip. He was also one of the three great elders of the Yujian Sect who had the highest cultivation besides the ancestor and had reached the perfect stage of Jindan. He frowned slightly and said, "Qianxing, this is not like your style..."
"The disciple was impulsive!" Xu Qianxing did not make any excuses. He just bowed again, then turned back and glared at Gu Xiaoxing fiercely, then turned around and left.
The group followed her and left. Of course, Xu Qianming glared at Gu Xiaoxing before leaving. The brother and sister now had a common enemy!
At this time, Old Qin also glanced at the people from the Soul-Devouring Sect. When he found that Master Bai was looking at him without showing any weakness, he immediately realized that the other party had also reached the perfect level of Jindan cultivation. He snorted coldly, and turned away without even bothering to say hello.
Master Bai didn't care and turned to look at Gu Xiaoxing. There was a complex look in his eyes, but more of it was relief.
"Uncle Bai!" Gu Xiaoxing hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and called out again. Master Bai was one of the few elders he respected from the bottom of his heart.
There seemed to be some sadness in Master Bai's vicissitudes of life eyes at this moment. Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Afterwards, Gu Xiaoxing greeted . They were all acquaintances. Chen Zili was still the same, with gray hair and a slightly sloppy look. He just held the ancient sword and nodded woodenly, which was considered a greeting.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the sword in Chen Zili's hand with a slightly strange look, curiously wondering whether his broken sword had been repaired.
As for Li Wenru, her expression was much more complicated. In fact, seven years had passed and she seldom thought about this lonely junior brother. The initial excitement had long faded away. However, every time she thought of him, she still felt mixed emotions.
At this moment, when the real person appeared in front of her, although it was sudden and hasty, she was not shocked. In the end, she just nodded and said, "Junior brother Gu, long time no see."
Complex... and natural.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't think too much about it. Finally, he turned his gaze to Bai Xiangtian, laughed, and said, "Nephew!"
Bai Xiangtian wanted to say hello, but when he heard this, he immediately became angry and said viciously: "My dear, don't go too far!"
"Who are you telling not to go too far?" At this time, Lu Linger's cold voice came.
Bai Xiangtian immediately didn't dare to speak and looked to Master Bai for help. Right now, the person he feared the most in the Soul-Devouring Sect was not his great-uncle Master Bai, nor his father, but this Lu Linger. He couldn't defeat her, and was always inexplicably targeted. And no one cared. How angry!
Master Bai looked at them helplessly, with a rare gentle smile on his face, and said, "Since you are back, come with us. It just so happens that the Body Refining Sect has a grand event in the near future."
Gu Xiaoxing naturally would not refuse, and he left directly with Master Bai. As for the materials for the coffin in the shop, he thought he should come back next time. This place has already attracted a lot of people's attention. Now that all the major forces and sects in Yunfeng City have gathered here, if Xu Qianxing spreads his identity, it might cause public outrage.
On the other side, Xu Qianxing had a gloomy face. She was born smart and had a photographic memory, but some of her memories were not so good. For example, she had seen the naked figure that was burned by the sea of fire in the Foundation Building Mountain. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, she could never forget the obscene scene.
At this moment, she was constantly thinking about how she would cut him in two with a sword after entering Leiyuntian to relieve the hatred in her heart. With her pride and self-confidence, she naturally disdained to reveal Gu Xiaoxing's identity to others and try to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
She, Xu Qianxing, has to do it herself!
That's what she thought.
At the side, Xu Qianming looked at his younger sister who seemed to be absent-minded, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. Thinking of the past, he seemed to have completely lost his usual calmness. After hesitating for a moment, he still called out, "Little sister?"
Xu Qianxing was startled and looked over with a frown.
Xu Qianming thought that his younger sister had at least protected him today, so he wanted to care about her, so he said in a gentle voice: "Do you have any grudges with that Gu guy? Can you tell me? If he is too much, even if he is from the Soul Devouring Sect, I will help you and go and settle the score with him!"
Xu Qianming said this very sincerely and even patted his chest, looking like a brother who wanted to stand up for his younger sister.
However, Xu Qianxing's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he thought to himself, I have seen the other person naked, so I have to tell you?
"I'll settle the score with you when I get back!" Xu Qianxing snorted coldly, and then quickened his pace.
Xu Qianming stood there in a daze, not knowing what was going on for a moment. He just felt that being a brother was too difficult for him!
When Gu Xiaoxing and Master Bai arrived at their residence, it was already evening. They followed the local customs and stayed in an inn in Yunfeng City.
Along the way, Gu Xiaoxing finally learned from Bai Zhen the truth about the Refining Body Sect's grand event and why they invited geniuses from all major forces.
At the top of the mountain gate of the Body Refining Sect, there is a thundercloud. It is called a thundercloud, but in fact it is a passage. At the other end of the passage, there is another world, which is called the Thundercloud Sky by the Body Refining Sect.
This piece of thundercloud sky has always been controlled by the Body Refining Sect. It produces a kind of fruit called Thundercloud Fruit, which matures only once every sixty years. It is a major body refining elixir of the Body Refining Sect. However, there are many dangers in the Thundercloud Sky, and only those in the Foundation Establishment Stage can enter.
Although his Body Refining Sect was one of the three major sects in Xiaohuang, there were not many foundation-building cultivators who could enter safely, so every time the Thunder Cloud Fruit matured, the harvest was very small. Even the better quality Thunder Cloud Fruits in the deeper parts of the Thunder Cloud Sky could not be picked.
Therefore, this time, the Body Refining Sect decided to invite all the geniuses in the foundation-building stage to enter Thunder Cloud Heaven together. They only wanted the Thunder Cloud Fruit, and as for some other natural treasures in Thunder Cloud Heaven, those who were capable could take them, and no one else would ask!
When this news came out, it immediately caused a great sensation. Lei Yuntian of the Body Refining Sect was a place of good fortune that was almost known to everyone in the small wasteland's cultivation world. He possessed countless natural treasures and had long been the envy of others, but there was nothing that could be done about his strength.
Although the Body Refining Sect does not have a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, it is still a sect with a history of at least ten thousand years. No one knows how deep its foundation is, so it has been allowed to occupy the precious land of Leiyuntian, and no one dares to say anything. Now that they heard that they can enter, they can't sit still.
Didn't you see that even the people from the Yujian Sect and Yunxiao Sect, which are also the three major sects in the small wasteland, came together? Not to mention the other sects and forces, they all sharpened their knives. No one wanted to miss such a place of good fortune!
After learning all this, Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath and hesitated whether to go in. If it were in the past, he would definitely refuse without even thinking about it, but after experiencing so much, he found himself actually looking forward to it.
"What am I expecting?" Gu Xiaoxing was suddenly startled and decisively suppressed this idea, constantly telling himself that this idea was wrong, absolutely wrong!
