1085: Chapter 281 1085: Chapter 281 Leng Manshuang, true to his name, was famously indifferent within the Sacred Flower Sect.
Despite his cold demeanor, it wasn’t to the extent that he would ignore disciples of his own sect facing danger outside.
However, disciples rarely sought his guidance, as even if they did approach him, Leng Manshuang wouldn’t offer any advice, let alone help with their problems.
Now, everyone was surprised to find that their cool Senior Brother Leng had brought a stranger along, and when their talented disciple couldn’t produce enough Blood Coagulation Crystals to match the stranger in a contest, Senior Brother Leng actually offered up Blood Coagulation Crystals!
Those were Blood Coagulation Crystals after all, materials used by those in the Earth Immortal Realm.
When had their Senior Brother been so enthusiastic?
What relationship did Senior Brother Leng Manshuang share with Huo Fanqi?
Could it be…
That’s right, Huo Fanqi had an older sister, but she had been in slumber.
Was Senior Brother Leng looking ahead to when Huo Fanqi’s sister would wake up?
Besides this reason, they couldn’t fathom what else could motivate Leng Manshuang to help Huo Fanqi to such an extent.
Looking back at Leng Manshuang, then turning to Xiang Ziyu, a disdainful glance quickly passed through Huo Fanqi’s eyes, followed by him shaking his head, “No need.
Although I don’t have any Blood Coagulation Crystals, I can swear upon the honor of our Sacred Flower Sect that if I lose, I will compensate you with treasures equivalent to no fewer than twenty Blood Coagulation Crystals.”
“Alright then, with so many of your Sacred Flower Sect witnesses here, you’ll have to honor the bet if you lose,” Xiang Ziyu pondered for a moment before agreeing.
Winning the bet and reaping rewards was naturally best, but even if not, he was still willing to take the gamble.
The current situation was that the Cloud Reaching Sect possessed a Sky-reaching Formation.
Anyone passing through it could enter the Cloud Reaching Sect.
He could attempt to pass the test, just as his master could.
Moreover, if they went at the same time, his master’s speed would probably be faster than his own.
To win the competition against his master, he needed to get through the formation first before his master even knew about it.
Therefore, the faster he reached the Cloud Reaching Sect, the better.
Although Xiang Ziyu didn’t know the exact location of the Cloud Reaching Sect, it didn’t matter, as Huo Fanqi did.
All he needed to do was follow Huo Fanqi and catch up with him at the last moment.
The two quickly flew off toward the distance.
Xiang Ziyu realized that Huo Fanqi was quite strong, certainly among the strongest in the Eastern Wasteland, at least among the nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills cultivators he had seen thus far.
Both were Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills users, and they were among the strongest within their stage.
Other cultivators traveling along the way didn’t seem in as much of a rush, seldom using their full strength.
As the two sped up, they gradually overtook cultivator after cultivator.
“Only two Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills?
They haven’t completed Pill Fusion, yet their speed is so fast?”
“Why are these two running so fast?”
“Looks like one of them is from the Sacred Flower Sect.
Is the other one chasing him?”
“It doesn’t feel like a chase, does it?”
“Look behind…
do you see?
There are so many from the Sacred Flower Sect following them, and they have so many Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection among them.”
“The people from the Sacred Flower Sect certainly aren’t being pursued to be killed.”
“So, what are the two Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills users up to?”
Following Huo Fanqi, Xiang Ziyu continued to fly intensely, but soon they came upon four familiar figures—the Four Sons of Snow Mountain.
However, these Four Sons of Snow Mountain were now four corpses!
Xiang Ziyu instantly remembered the four sinister individuals he had encountered before.
Were they the ones who did this?
So, was it his fault?
If he hadn’t shown them the path, perhaps the Four Sons of Snow Mountain would not have died.
Seeing the Four Sons of Snow Mountain, Xiang Ziyu’s pace involuntarily slowed.
In front, Huo Fanqi, although remaining ahead, was constantly keeping an eye on Xiang Ziyu.
Noticing Xiang Ziyu’s decreased speed and catching sight of the corpses below, Huo Fanqi sneered, “What’s the matter?
Are you so shocked to see dead bodies?
How secluded is your Immortal Sect?
We’re in the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, what’s so troubling about a few deaths?
Forget now, even in peaceful times, are the cultivator deaths in our Eastern Province that few?”
Eastern Province!
Xiang Ziyu finally realized where he was—it turned out he was in the Eastern Province.
But Huo Fanqi’s words irked him, and his voice turned cold, “My surprise at seeing them is because I encountered them before, and afterwards, I met four people brimming with evil Qi.
They asked for the whereabouts of these lost individuals, and I directed them.”
“So, you think you caused their deaths?
If that’s what you believe, then go and take revenge for them.
What’s the point in pausing here?
Of course, you can also go down and inspect their bodies, but I won’t wait for you.”
With that, Huo Fanqi accelerated towards the distance.
Xiang Ziyu promptly chased after him.
Why would he go down to inspect anything?
The four were already dead, and having just arrived in the Eastern Wasteland, he was unaware of how many Immortal Sects there were and what each was proficient in.
How could he investigate?
However, Huo Fanqi was an Eastern Province local, and perhaps he knew something.
