Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 266 Isn't that Old Xing?

Two hundred means twenty jade pendants.

Pei Xia smacked her lips. She thought that after beating up Duan Junhai, the rich man was now considered a big shot, but she didn't expect that he didn't even have the right to enter the door.

It's said that there are only two missing, but it's not by chance, and there's nowhere to find them... If you want to talk about it, Han Youzhi actually has four, which is enough to kill her, heh.

Mentioning Yuyu Tower, the person in the mouth narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered, "I recently heard about Yuyu Tower's next treasure this year."

Buying it is definitely out of the question. It costs 200 for sightseeing in Yuqiong. If you want to bid, you'll probably have to start at 500.

Pei Xia was simply curious and asked, "What? Could it be that there's an opportunity to attain enlightenment?"

"No, no. Things are valued for their rarity. If opportunities to attain enlightenment were always readily available, they wouldn't fetch high prices."

The person in the mouth said furtively, "I heard that what's being sold this time is a jade slave at the Heavenly Consciousness Realm. It's said that the Lord has already tamed her perfectly. Once you buy her home, she'll be obedient to everything. She wouldn't even flinch if you asked her to die."

Pei Xia felt a chill run down her spine.

Given the extraordinary nature of the Jade Palace, Pei Xia had always overestimated the mysterious and unpredictable Lord of the Tower, but she never expected that this person would actually be able to offer a Heavenly Consciousness Realm expert as a commodity.

For the vast majority of people in the Nine Provinces, the Heavenly Consciousness Realm is the limit. Even the most prestigious sects have never publicly displayed a Dao Proof.

So, in your case, those at the Heavenly Consciousness Realm are merely considered servants...?

"I don't know if it's a man or a woman, old or young, beautiful or ugly."

Having changed her appearance, she no longer cared about the gazes of others, and made no attempt to hide her covetousness: "If she were still a delicate fairy of the Heavenly Consciousness Realm, buying her home as a maid would surely make countless people envious."

Pei Xia rolled her eyes.

Anyone capable of collecting fifty or even a hundred jade pendants must be an extremely ruthless individual.

Since Jade Pavilion can sell opportunities to attain the Great Dao, it is evident that there are many beings at the Heavenly Consciousness Realm among those who possess jade.

For these people, compared to the divine inspiration of a master or the opportunity to attain enlightenment, this jade slave in the Heavenly Consciousness Realm is probably considered a low-grade commodity.

The person in the mouth didn't chat with Pei Xia for long, and turned around to stroll around the market on that side.

Pei Xia did not linger. In reality, only the talisman served as a warning, and Ji Shaofu could wake up at any time. It was better to go back early to avoid exposing Qiongxiao Yuyu.

The next morning.

After Ji Shaofu woke up, Pei Xia quickly ate something to fill her stomach, then extinguished the fire and set off to leave.

Two days have been wasted, and the Whale Clan is likely already aware of the attack. They must be very anxious now.

The four robbers not only failed but also lost one of their brothers. Regardless of whether they give up or not, their employer will be even more vigilant.

It would be better to return to the sect as soon as possible and hand over this troublesome Netherworld Flower to Huang Bing.

However, Ji Shaofu's leg injury has not yet healed, making it very difficult for her to walk.

Pei Xia didn't think much of it, squatted down in front of her, put her hands behind her back and beckoned to her: "Uncle-Master, come here."

Ji Shaofu, leaning on her sword, looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Get on, otherwise how are we going to get going?"

"I...I...oh."

Ironically, when she first boarded the ship, she arranged for Pei Xia to sleep in the same room as her in order to guard the Ghost Flower.

At the time, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

I don't know what happened, but this morning when he wanted to carry me on his back, his face turned bright red.

Phew, thank goodness he can't see.

Carefully placing her hand on Pei Xia's shoulder, Ji Shaofu stretched her leg forward: "Here."

Pei Xia naturally hugged her soft, long legs beneath her blue dress, stood up, and unconsciously bounced a little.

With a jolt, his body swayed and he fell onto Pei Xia's back.

Through my clothes, I suddenly felt a soft, elastic fabric pressing tightly against my back.

"Ugh!" The uncle was about to exclaim, but when the sound reached his throat, he probably realized it was inappropriate and swallowed it back down.

Her face was flushed red, but she kept her mouth tightly shut, afraid that Pei Xia would notice something was amiss.

While some say they couldn't detect it, Pei Xia actually did notice it; how she did it is none of your concern.

Sigh, I'd better hurry to the nearby town and hire a carriage.

……

There is a tall tower in Xucheng, more than thirty feet high.

At the top of the tower sat an elderly man with white hair, seemingly meditating, but his furrowed brows revealed his inner unease.

Yesterday, there was a great commotion on the river. Although the spiritual energy did not reach this area, the roaring sound of the water blocking the river flow was like rolling thunder, which shocked several nearby towns.

Such a feat is something that Kaifu Realm could never accomplish.

Could it be that Huang Bing came to meet us personally? Does that old man's Transformation Realm cultivation level have such power?

The old man opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and saw that it was almost noon. The appointed time had arrived, but the four people had not yet shown up. Could it be that they had really failed?
The thought had barely formed in his mind when two figures swept in from afar, flew over the rooftops, and landed lightly behind the old man.

These two men, one carrying an iron spear and the other carrying a longbow, were none other than Jin Liang and his companion who had previously attacked Pei Xia and Ji Shaofu.

The old man turned around and glanced back, first noticing the injury on Jin Hong's shoulder, then looking behind them: "Why are only the two of you here?"

Jin Hong tightened his grip on the iron spear, stepped forward, and made as if to question him.

It was Liang Wan, who was standing next to him, who reached out and stopped him.

Liang Wan looked at the old man and said in a deep voice, "When we were discussing business, you spoke with great certainty that the two people from the Changjing Sect were a young girl at the Opening Mansion Realm and a young man at the Profound Realm, is that right?"

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately guessed what had happened: "What, is there a mistake?"

"An error?! Humph!"

Jin Hong threw his iron spear, which gleamed and embedded itself at the old man's feet: "That outer sect elder killed my brother Xiao Lei with just one sword strike. If he hadn't reacted quickly, his wife would have been killed too. And what about his accomplices on the boat? Do you know what kind of tricks they used to intercept the river with their 'falling altar' technique?!"

As expected, something went wrong.

The anxiety that had been building up the night before has finally died.

Judging from their accounts, it seems that there were indeed major oversights in the previous investigation of the Long Whale Gate.

However, he did not back down to his face: "Hmph, being able to die at the hands of a Transcendent Realm cultivator only shows that you brothers are not strong enough. As for the so-called 'Falling Altar Intercepting the River'... if you really had such a method, would you two still be alive?"

"you!"

Jin Hong's forehead veins bulged, and he looked like he was about to lose control.

Liang Wan pulled him back, repeatedly reminding him, "Old Jin, don't get angry, don't get angry!"

This old man has a mysterious background, but his cultivation level is genuinely at the Transformation Realm, and the two brothers are no match for him.

Liang Wan could only pull his brother along, turning to glare fiercely at the old man: "Your information was false, which is why you harmed us brothers. This is a crime no matter where you look. If our sect ever seeks revenge in the future, you'd better not run away!"

Hmph, if their sect were truly powerful, why would they have fallen to the point of begging for food in the martial world?

The old man sneered, "Do you even know my background, yet you seek revenge?"

These words left Liang Wan speechless.

Just as the old man was about to ridicule the two roughnecks, he suddenly heard a gust of wind behind him.

A slender figure dressed in a black and white Taoist robe landed lightly on the top of the tower.

Pei Lan peeked out and said, "Hey, isn't this Old Xing? What a coincidence, I'm lost. Do you know which way is back to Yunhu Mountain?"

The old man was startled and immediately realized something was wrong.

Liang Wan's mind raced, and he called out first, "Which Old Xing?"

Pei Lan scratched her head: "Huh? Isn't that Xing Ye from the Little Chen Kingdom's martial arts arena?"
