Chapter 486 Xiao Zi'an's Defenses Are Broken
[Third senior brother, third senior brother, third senior brother, third senior brother, third senior brother...]
[Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you...]
Looking at the screen filled with a jumble of unread messages on the Nine Palaces Mirror.
The messengers were all from the same person—Xiao Zi'an.
Wu Hua: [What is it?]
[Xiao Zi'an, if you keep bothering me for no reason, I'll give you a good slap when I get back.]
Less than a few seconds after the message was sent, Xiao Zi'an responded: [Ahhhhh, Third Senior Brother, you finally replied! Congratulations!!!]
[You've arrived at Wuqu Pass? How's it going? Have you seen Junior Sister arrive?]
[Second Senior Sister caught a Silver Moon Nightmare General and just killed it together! Tsk tsk tsk... that ugly thing really scared this patriarch to death!]
Wu Hua's gaze lingered on the first three words for a moment before he continued the message: [I also encountered a Silver Moon Nightmare General, but I've dealt with it. It's now confirmed that the sealing power has weakened again and is no longer able to contain Nightmare Generals.]
a long distance away.
On a section of the city wall at Yanmen Pass, Xiao Zian sat atop the wall, with the eldest and second elders of the Xiao family standing on either side behind him.
Xiao Zian lowered his head and typed rapidly:
[Oh ho~ Who asked you that~]
[Third Senior Brother, if you can't even handle a single Silver Moon Nightmare General, ha~ the main family will laugh at you for two hundred years!]
[I wanted to ask if you've seen your junior sister? Has she gotten taller or shorter, fatter or thinner?]
Wu Hua remained calm and composed.
No need to use gas.
The person isn't in front of me now, so I can't hit them.
He's not in a hurry.
Once we get to Yanmen Pass, there will be plenty of opportunities.
He replied: [Yes, I saw her. Junior Sister's cultivation has reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so she also had the opportunity to come to the border this time.]
The people of Zhanming Mountain generally knew that Rong Shu had hidden cultivation levels.
Although coming to the border this time is dangerous, it is also a rare opportunity to leave Jixia Academy. Wu Hua and the others all agreed that Junior Sister should choose to come out.
[Oh ho~ Junior Sister finally stopped pretending, right?]
[The patriarch has calculated... Junior Sister's true cultivation level has definitely advanced again! Otherwise, she wouldn't have revealed her early Nascent Soul stage cultivation!]
While traveling on his sword, Wu Hua replied in a spare moment: [Yeah, maybe Junior Sister's cultivation has already surpassed yours, Fourth Senior Brother, and you're going to be at the bottom again.]
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zian excitedly stood up from the wall.
The eyelids of the First Elder and Second Elder of the Xiao family behind them twitched.
Body tense.
Give your full attention.
They were afraid that the new head of the Xiao family might accidentally slip and fall off the city wall.
The willful Xiao family head, oblivious to everything, simply typed angrily in reply: [...Impossible! Little Chenzi is still at the bottom, making things difficult for him! It won't be easy for him to recover to his peak; it will take him a lot of time!]
Just as they were waiting for Wu Hua's reply, another message suddenly appeared in the Nine Palaces Mirror.
Messenger: Rong Shu.
Xiao Zian's eyes immediately lit up.
[…Oh my gosh! My junior sister replied! Hehehe, I'm going to chat with her now~]
[Third Senior Brother, are you well? Goodbye!]
Wu Hua: ...
Xiao Zian happily went to bother... no, to care for his junior sister.
……
After checking another village, Rong Shu also received Xiao Zi'an's "information bombardment" and took a moment to reply:
[Fourth Senior Brother, have the Xiao family patriarch and eldest senior brother allowed you to leave Zhanming Mountain? Your cultivation level hasn't already reached the Integration Stage, has it?]
Xiao Zi'an: [Junior Sister, although you have high expectations for your Fourth Senior Brother, well, recently he has been cultivating his mind and body, contemplating nature, and is now at peace...]
Rong Shu immediately understood: [Oh, Fourth Senior Brother is still in the Void Refinement stage~]
Xiao Zi'an: [Oh what? Refining Void is so weak?! I could slap that cheap master you had back in the Southern Wilderness to death right now!]
Rong Shu blinked.
She couldn't help but make a "conservative" assessment in her mind.
Oh, in a direct confrontation, one slap from her probably wouldn't be enough, but if she resorts to underhanded tactics... it's not like we can't fight her.
The topic has gone too far.
Seeing that his fourth senior brother was still so "lively and energetic," Rong Shu felt relieved and dropped a bombshell:
[Fourth Senior Brother, I've seen the clouds!]
[......]
[Fourth Senior Brother, I saw the clouds, the very clouds you mentioned.]
[...]
Rong Shu hesitated before sending another message: [Fourth Senior Brother, are you still there?]
The next second, Xiao Zi'an's furious messages bombarded in all at once: [You saw that bastard? Where? Where? Where? Is he at Wuqu Pass?!]
[Holy crap! What's his cultivation level now? Has he reached the Void Refinement stage? Has he reached the Nascent Soul stage? That bastard's talent can't be too bad... He should at least be at the Nascent Soul stage! Has he reached the Void Refinement stage yet?!]
Rong Shu felt ashamed.
What kind of deep-seated hatred did they have?
He's been wanting to beat someone up.
[Yun Duan hasn't even reached the Void Refinement stage yet... he's already at the late Nascent Soul stage. Fourth Senior Brother, you should be able to beat him, right? You've already reached the Void Refinement stage,] Rong Shu asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zian's spirits lifted.
[Ha! That bastard's so weak? Only at the late Nascent Soul stage, hahaha!!]
[Where is he? Where is he? Junior Sister! Keep an eye on him! Don't let him get away!!!]
Xiao Zian was eager to try, wishing he could fly to Wuqu Pass right now.
It's a wonderful thought.
As a result, the First Elder and the Second Elder grabbed him from behind, hugging his waist and legs.
"Patriarch, please calm down. We still have to meet with Crown Prince Shenfeng and Regent Haixi later."
"Patriarch, the Ancestor gave prior instructions, allowing you to leave the Shennong Cauldron in the Zhanming Mountain for safekeeping before coming to the border, but not to venture deep into the front lines. You must remain safely in the rear. Your spiritual root is special, and it's a great tonic for those cunning Nightmare Clan..."
Xiao Zian tried to break free... but couldn't.
"Elders, please let go. I didn't intend to jump down here! Nor did I intend to run to Wuqu Pass right now..."
"You've already decided where you're going, and you still say you don't want to sneak away?" The Grand Elder didn't believe it.
“We two old folks can’t control you, Patriarch… Should we ask your senior sister to come and manage things?” the Second Elder sighed.
Xiao Zian: ...
Meanwhile, Rong Shu's six-person team arrived at a town. After a brief rest, Rong Shu secretly typed a message: [Fourth Senior Brother, what exactly is your grudge against Yun Duan? I happen to be teaming up with Yun Duan for a quest right now...]
[A grudge? That's a huge one!]
[Junior Sister, you're actually with Yun Duan?! You better watch out!]
[That guy is a bastard! A toad! A pervert!! You stay away from him!!!]
The Nine Palaces Mirror was practically overflowing with anger...
Rong Shu marveled at this.
Even during the internal strife in the Xiao family back then, when faced with Xiao Ziyan who stole his spiritual root, Fourth Senior Brother was never this angry, was he?
Although she had gotten along quite well with Yun Duan these past few days, Yun Duan would also give her some guidance on cultivating in the Nascent Soul stage during her spare time.
However, when it came to the difference between close and distant relationships, Rong Shu did not hesitate to choose to stand on Xiao Zi'an's side.
[Fourth Senior Brother, the Yun Duan I encountered has been confirmed to be the same Yun Duan who participated in the Heroes' Tournament with you in the same year and won first place.]
[But she wasn't a man; she was a woman.]
