It wasn't until Xiao Chen left for a long time that the three old men seemed to come back to their senses, their expressions filled with horror.
"Jiu...Jiuye, Li Hu was killed!"
Yue Jiu took a deep breath and said, "I underestimated him."
In fact, when Xiao Yingxue defeated Li Hu, Yue Jiu knew that Xiao Chen was not simple, because Xiao Yingxue was obviously obedient to Xiao Chen.
But no matter how much he overestimated Xiao Chen, he never expected that Xiao Chen would kill Li Hu instantly with just one stroke, and even break Li Hu's sword into two pieces.
What kind of cultivation is this?
The three old men looked at each other and said solemnly: "Master Jiu, is that kid even more powerful than Mr. Wu?"
Yue Jiu sneered: "Do you think Mr. Wu can kill Li Hu casually?"
The three of them looked at each other and were silent.
Mr. Wu is the number one master in their camp, and his cultivation has reached the third innate realm, the True Yuan Realm.
If Mr. Wu becomes serious, Li Hu may not be able to take any of the moves either.
But it is obvious that Mr. Wu cannot be as casual as Xiao Chen, and it is difficult to break the golden knife directly.
"I'm afraid he is another genius of the same level as that black-faced young man back then!" Yue Jiu said in a deep voice.
Mentioning the black-faced young man, the expressions of the three old men changed.
When they first arrived in Weizhou, they wanted to use force to deter all forces, but they encountered a terrifying young man.
The strength of that young man cannot be described in words. Even if all six of their masters came together, they would still be no match for him.
Fortunately, the other party just wanted to protect himself and did not want to fight for fame and fortune. Otherwise, the current king of Weizhou would not fall on Yue Jiu, but on that young man.
"Master Jiu, what should we do now?"
Yue Jiu thought deeply for a moment and then said: "I already missed a noble man back then, and I can't miss him again now. As long as we have his help, it will not be difficult for us to return to Dragon City."
"But a genius like him is so arrogant that he doesn't take us seriously at all. It's hard to find help from him!"
"In the previous negotiations, I raised my profile too high and made him unhappy. However, there is still room for change."
Yue Jiu didn't care at all if Li Hu died.
As long as he can capture Xiao Chen, a noble person, his long-cherished wish has a high chance of coming true.
"Notify our hidden stake in Dragon City immediately and ask them to investigate the whereabouts of Grand Master Huangfu Ming. If you have any information, report it immediately."
…
Xiao Chen and the others left Weizhou and continued towards northern Henan.
One day later, they arrived in Qu'an City, northern Henan.
According to Tan Zhengxiong, there is a relatively famous Taoist temple in Qu'an City called Ziyun Temple.
Taoist priest Yunzhen practiced at Ziyun Temple.
Qu'an City is a remote and backward city, probably similar to Lanning City.
Xiao Chen randomly asked a few pedestrians on the street. When they heard about Ziyun Temple, they all looked blank and shook their heads to express that they had never heard of it.
Only then did Xiao Chen understand that when Tan Zhengxiong said that Ziyun Temple was famous, he was referring to that time.
But now, Ziyun Temple has obviously declined.
After continuing to ask several elders, I finally found out the location of Ziyun Temple.
Half an hour later, the two found the address of Ziyun Temple.
Ziyun Temple is located on a remote mountain peak with inconvenient transportation around it, so it is understandable that it has declined over time.
Xiao Chen stood in front of Ziyun Temple. He did not go in immediately, but took out the half of the parchment scroll.
"As long as the other half is still hidden in Ziyun Temple, it should be able to interact with this one!"
The parchment scroll is just a name, in fact it is a sealed magic weapon.
Even if the magic weapon is destroyed, it still has spirit.
Xiao Chen's spiritual power circulated and he cast a spirit summoning technique on the parchment scroll.
Instantly, a light blue light burst out from the parchment scroll.
However, after flickering for a moment, the spiritual light dissipated and there was no more ripples.
"It doesn't look like he's nearby!"
Xiao Chen sighed slightly.
If the other half of the parchment is nearby, they can sense each other through the Soul Summoning Technique.
But the parchment didn't respond, which meant that the half was not here.
"Now that you're here, let's go in and take a look!"
The door of Ziyunguang was not closed, so the two of them walked in directly.
Xiao Chen swept his consciousness and found that there were several young Taoist priests in Ziyun Temple, all of whom were young.
"You two, what can I do for you?"
A young Taoist priest discovered Xiao Chen and the two of them and politely stepped forward to ask, still feeling a little puzzled.
It’s been an unknown amount of time since a stranger visited Ziyun Temple. What’s going on today?
"Does your Ziyun Temple have a Taoist priest named Yunzhen?" Xiao Chen asked straight to the point.
The little Taoist priest was slightly startled and replied: "Your Excellency, are you looking for my great uncle?"
"Yun Zhen is your grand master's uncle?" Xiao Chen thought to himself that this Yun Zhen is really senior enough.
"Yes, I met my great uncle when I was a child, but he passed away ten years ago at the age of one hundred." The little Taoist priest said with a sad expression.
"Exactly one hundred years old?" Xiao Chen asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Well, he died on his 100th birthday!" the little Taoist priest confirmed.
Xiao Chen thought for a moment and then asked: "How was your grandmaster's uncle's physical condition before this?"
"I remember that my uncle Taishi had always been in good health, but he suddenly felt unwell a few days before his birthday, and he fell ill and passed away on the day of his birthday."
The little Taoist tried hard to recall:
"At that time, several of our senior brothers were celebrating the birthday of our great uncle. Later, the second senior brother was so excited that he fainted and it took him two full days to wake up."
When Xiao Chen heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
Immediately, he took out the parchment and asked the little Taoist priest, "Have you seen this?"
"Hey, why do you have this thing in your hand?" The little Taoist priest recognized it at a glance and was very surprised.
Xiao Chen's heart moved and asked: "Have you seen it?"
"Of course, my great uncle used to be in a daze over this for most of the day."
"What happened next?"
"Later, the great uncle of the great master passed away, and the things came into the hands of the second senior brother. Like the great uncle of the great master, he often took them out for study."
"So that's it!" Xiao Chen vaguely understood something and asked again, "Where is your second senior brother now?"
"Ziyun Temple has declined. Many senior brothers have returned to the secular world, including the second senior brother." The little Taoist scratched his head and said, "After the second senior brother returned to the secular world, he seemed to have gone to Xinshan City."
"Johor Bahru City?"
"Yes, Xinshan City and Qu'an City are not far apart. The second senior brother's Taoist name is Xuan Xuzi. His original name was Ma Zhenghua. I don't know if he changed his name after he returned to secular life!"
"Xuan Xuzi, Ma Zhenghua!"
Xiao Chen remembered it in his heart and thanked the little Taoist priest.
I have to say that the little Taoist priest is too simple-minded and does not have the intrigues of those people in the world of mortals.
"this is for you!"
Xiao Chen directly took out a bottle of rejuvenation pill and handed it to the little Taoist priest.
"This is a bottle of healing elixir that can be taken regardless of internal or external injuries. This is your reward!"
To Xiao Chen, the Rejuvenation Pill is the lowest elixir. It can be refined at any time, and it doesn't hurt to give away any amount.
Of course, it's not that he is stingy.
The little Taoist priest has only lived in a Taoist temple since he was a child, but in fact he is not a cultivator at all. Giving him high-level elixirs is useless, and it is not as practical as the rejuvenation elixir.
"Elixir?"
The little Taoist priest has seen this thing from Taoist classics and knows that any kind of elixir is extremely precious.
Just as he was thinking about refusing, he realized that Xiao Chen and Xiao Yingxue were extremely fast and had already left Ziyun Temple in the blink of an eye.
"I seem to have met an expert!" the little Taoist priest murmured to himself, "but he is obviously about the same age as me?"
