Luo Hong was not expecting such a change. After being stunned for a moment, he said to Xiao Hong suspiciously:
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, what misunderstanding do you have about Luo? Why doesn't Luo remember that he has offended your Black Phoenix Clan?"
Seeing that Luo Hong had no intention of resisting, Xiao Hong immediately calmed down a lot, but she still stared at Luo Hong, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, we haven't seen each other for many years. Normally I shouldn't be so ignorant of etiquette, but the leader of my tribe has invited me, and I hope that Friend Daoist Luo will come with me!"
The red lips parted slightly, and Xiao Hong looked solemn at the moment.
"You, the Black Phoenix Clan, have gone too far to deceive others. Brother Luo has just returned from the wilderness, so he should go to Tianyuan City first to explain!"
Although Xu Xuechuan didn't know what the quarrel was between Luo Hong and Xiao Hong, it would probably be a disaster if he was taken directly to meet the Black Phoenix Clan leader.
Therefore, she immediately changed the rules of Tianyuan City and wanted to buy Luo Hong some time to break the situation!
"Fellow Daoist Xu, are you trying to make an enemy of our clan?"
Seeing Xu Xuechuan and the others flying to Luo Hong's side and confronting him and others, Xiao Hong immediately frowned and said.
After all, she knew in her heart that after hundreds of years, Luo Hong had probably broken through to the realm of refining the void. With the few great magical powers he had mastered, she and others would never be able to threaten him if they did not rely on their numerical advantage.
In other words, if Xu Xuechuan and the others were determined to be their enemies, Luo Hong might not be able to be invited today!
"The nobles are one of the seven demon clans, and my Xu family cannot afford to offend them.
But Fellow Daoist Xiao broke the rules first, and now he wants to embarrass our savior. We human monks are not soft persimmons who can be manipulated by others! "
There are many opportunities in the wilderness, but it is also extremely dangerous. In this environment, a crisis of trust is most likely to occur.
If the reputation is bad, even a big force will be greatly affected.
What's more, this is still a conflict between the demon monks and the human monks. If it gets serious, it will be extremely troublesome!
After hearing this, Xiao Hong immediately realized that she had been impulsive, but now that the matter had come to this, she could not retreat, so she said in a cold voice:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, the rescue was delayed because I was waiting to find something there.
If you are dissatisfied, our clan can give you some compensation.
But Fellow Daoist Luo, I must take him away today! "
As she spoke, Xiaohong silently held an extremely thunder bead in her palm. Obviously this was her ultimatum!
"Xianzi Xu will not forget how she helped Luo today, but since Taoist Fellow Xiao's kindness is hard to refuse, Luo will go with her.
Haha, to be honest, Luo is really curious as to why the Black Phoenix Demon King is so interested in me. "
Compared to the tense situation between Xiao Hong and Xu Xuechuan, Luo Hong, who was the key to the conflict, looked extremely relaxed at the moment and smiled.
"Brother Luo, you..."
Xu Xuechuan couldn't help being shocked when she heard this. After all, the Luo Hong in her impression was not someone who would put her life in the hands of others!
"Fairy Xu, don't keep thinking about the bad things, maybe it's something good?
By the way, if Fairy Xu is not busy, after returning to Tianyuan City, please help Luo find out about the monks who have ascended over the past few hundred years.
There is a person there who is extremely important to Luo! "
Looking back on the disputes with the Black Phoenix Clan back then, Luo Hong didn't think that the Black Phoenix Demon King would definitely be unfavorable to him.
Moreover, the other party was just a demon cultivator in the late stage of integration. Luo Hong was too lazy to waste time guessing his purpose at the moment, so he simply followed Xiao Hong and asked him in person!
Ascended monk?
Xu Xuechuan's thoughts moved, but he immediately thought of Xiang Zhili and Baiyunzhou.
After witnessing Luo Hong's amazing methods in the Dragon Blood Trial, Xu Xuechuan investigated his background.
As an ascended monk with no roots and no feet, Luo Hong could not withstand the investigation, so Xu Xuechuan soon learned about the existence of Xiang Zhili and Baiyunzhou who ascended with him.
Although these two people's magical powers are not as good as Luo Hong's, they are not ordinary people. After contacting them, Xu Xuechuan also formed a certain friendship with them.
Because of this, Xu Xuechuan knew the current situation of the two of them. Among them, Xiang Zhili was appreciated by an elder of Tianyuan City for some reason, and was accepted as a registered disciple based on his cultivation in the early stage of Xuefeng.
And Baiyunzhou has also successfully broken through the realm of refining the void, and currently holds an important position in Taiyi Sect!
"I understand, Brother Luo wants me to seek help from these two people on his behalf!"
Luo Hong's current confidence seemed to Xu Xuechuan to be pretending to be calm, so he came to this conclusion in a flash of thought.
But it's not her fault. After all, no one would have thought that in just a few hundred years, Luo Hong would be able to cultivate from becoming a god to becoming a human being.
It's not even an ordinary combination, but a late stage combination that is close to its peak!
"Since Brother Luo said so himself, then I won't be too troublesome."
After replying to Luo Hong feigning displeasure, Xu Xuechuan turned to Xiaohong and said:
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, no matter what the reason is for your failure to come to the rescue in time, it is impossible for us to continue this mission. Please allow the three of us to return to Tianyuan City together!"
"This is easy to say. Out of compensation, our clan will still honor the promised reward."
Although Xiao Hong was a little confused about Luo Hong's cooperation when she heard this, the Black Phoenix Demon King gave her enough confidence.
Therefore, without thinking much at the moment, she launched a spiritual boat and let everyone board it.
In the cabin, due to Luo Hong's cooperation and her own fear, Xiao Hong did not use restraint methods to control Luo Hong, but directly locked him in her room, under her own supervision at all times!
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this journey will take at least two or three months. Do you plan to keep staring at Luo without saying a word?"
Seeing how Xiao Hong wanted to tie herself to her body, Luo Hong immediately understood her weird behavior back then.
Obviously, the Black Phoenix Demon King gave her a task to monitor her, but as soon as she entered the wild wilderness, she disappeared for hundreds of years. This girl will probably suffer a lot from this!
"Fellow Daoist Luo, Xiao Hong was rude just now. Don't worry, the patriarch is probably asking you to help with a big event, and he will definitely not harm your life!"
Xiao Hong immediately raised her hands and said.
"This Luo actually believes that if he really wants to harm me, he should do it secretly.
The reason for such a big fanfare like that of fellow Taoists is most likely because of something that can be put on the table. "
Of course, whether it can be put on the table and whether it can be accepted are two different things. After all, not everything can compensate for it!
"Looking at Fellow Daoist Xiao, it's obvious that he doesn't know the specific situation, so let's not talk about it for now.
Luo has been away from Tianyuan City for many years. I wonder if any major events have happened between the human and demon clans in these years? "
Luo Hong didn't take the meeting with the Black Phoenix Demon King to heart at all, and even asked about the situation of the human and demon clans in the past hundreds of years.
"This Luo Hong is in such a strong state of mind that he actually knows that he is being targeted by the Demon King of our clan and still wants to inquire about irrelevant things!"
Xiaohong couldn't help but admire in her heart at this moment. After a moment of silence, her tone became more polite and she said:
"The biggest event in the past few hundred years is undoubtedly the battle between several nearby alien races who joined forces to attack Tianyuan City two hundred years after Brother Luo disappeared!
Although we managed to defend in the end, both our human and demon clans suffered heavy casualties, and quite a few of the fused monks died!
Fortunately, those alien coalition forces did not attack for a long time, otherwise it would be hard to say whether they would win or lose! "
"Haha, it's not that it's hard to say, but it's definitely impossible to defeat!
The Wood Clan, Yaksha Clan, Spirit Clan, and Shadow Clan, the combined strength of these four tribes is far greater than that of the human and demon tribes. If the real purpose of this battle is not for the blood sacrifice, the human and demon tribes would definitely not be able to compete with these four tribes joining forces!
Of course, it is impossible for these four tribes to truly join forces. The blood feud between them is no less than that between the human and demon tribes! "
Luo Hong knew the reason for this battle very well. As soon as his thoughts changed, he changed the topic and said:
"When Luo comes back this time, he doesn't plan to stay in Tianyuan City for a long time, so he wants to know more about the internal situation of the two clans."
"There are so many major events in the Three Realms and Seven Lands. If we want to talk about them one by one, it won't be possible to finish them in a short time."
Xiao Hong couldn't help but frown when he heard the words, but seeing that Luo Hong didn't change his mind at all, he could only endure it and started talking from the demon clan.
Luo Hong listened silently throughout the whole process, and unknowingly, the spirit boat was getting closer and closer to Tianyuan City.
Finally, one day more than a month later, Xiao Hong took out a breath and said a little tiredly:
"Fellow Daoist Luo, that's about it. Is there anyone you're interested in?"
"Since the Heavenly Miaoling Emperor has fallen in the great catastrophe not long ago, is there about to be a new round of Holy Emperor election?"
Luo Hong pondered for a moment and then asked.
"That's true, but without more than a hundred years of preparation, this grand event can't be held yet.
After all, most of the fused old monsters in your human race who hope to compete for the position of Spirit Emperor are in retreat. It will take a long time to get them together. "
Although Xiao Hong replied calmly, she was very confused in her heart.
She obviously said so many important things that may contain opportunities, but the other party is only interested in a Holy Emperor election who can only join in the fun. It is really strange!
"It will take another hundred years, we can't wait."
Luo Hong immediately shook his head, showing no signs of joy or anger.
Xiaohong became even more confused when she heard this, thinking to herself, you are just a spectator, why are you so anxious?
Afterwards, Luo Hong's eyes fell into deep thought, and he was no longer interested in talking.
Xiaohong was so happy when she saw this, and for a while the room fell into a silence that could hear a needle drop.
More than ten days passed like this before the spirit boat everyone was riding in suddenly stopped.
"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Luo, let's go into the city."
Xiaohong became nervous again at this time, stood up and said with a focused look.
Luo Hong did not reply at this time, and followed the other party to the deck. Looking into the distance, the huge mountain-like Tianyuan City wall immediately came into view.
"Haha, human race, I'm finally back!"
At this moment, the spirit boat had landed on the ground under the city wall.
I saw a teleportation formation not far ahead, and on both sides of the formation, there were more than a dozen Qingming Guards wearing cyan armor guarding it.
There is no gate at all on the side of Tianyuan City facing the wilderness. If you want to enter or exit, you have to pass through the teleportation circle.
Those who can enter and exit normally can use the ones on the surface. In addition, there are some secret teleportation arrays arranged throughout the wilderness to facilitate the monks in the city to perform various tasks.
As soon as everyone escaped from the spirit boat, the leaders of the Qingming Guards sacrificed a bronze mirror, causing it to glow with a green light, and then shine it towards everyone.
"Huh? Senior Xiao, who are these two?"
After a few breaths, the leader of the Qingming Guard suddenly frowned and pointed at Luo Hong and asked.
It turns out that this bronze mirror contains records of all the monks who entered the wilderness. Xiao Hong, Xu Xuechuan and others were all on the list, except for Luo Hong and Ying Ming.
Generally speaking, after entering the wilderness, there will only be a few monks who come back, not many.
If there are more, there may be a problem!
"This Fellow Daoist Luo is a person who disappeared in the wilderness hundreds of years ago. I won't embarrass you. You can just teleport us to the Foreign Spirit Palace.
As for this... uh... Fellow Taoist Luo, this fellow Taoist is..."
After being reminded by Qing Mingwei, Xiao Hong noticed the female cultivator dressed as a maid following Luo Hong, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
After staying in the same room for more than two months, she didn't ask about the other person's details. Was she negligent?
"She is Ying Ming, a psychic puppet."
Following Luo Hong's introduction, Ying Ming immediately transformed into a puppet body, and then changed back again with no expression on her face.
"She is actually a puppet! Fellow Daoist Luo really got a lot of opportunities in the wilderness!"
After giving Ying Ming a surprised look, Xiao Hong immediately attributed his negligence to the magic of the psychic puppet.
"Thank you for your understanding, senior, and please stand in the formation."
The leader of the Qingming Guards was surprised for a moment and did not ask any questions. Their duty was only to send the suspicious persons to the Foreign Spirit Palace to be inspected by the Foreign Spirit Formation. It did not include fighting with the suspicious persons.
Afterwards, Xiao Hong and other Black Phoenix cultivators stepped into the teleportation formation together with Luo Hong.
A flash of white light flashed, and the group of people immediately disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, the leader of the Qingming Guards suddenly relaxed. Just as he was about to turn around and ask Xu Xuechuan and the other three, a sound of urging came into his ears.
"Let us enter the city quickly!"
"Ah...yes! Seniors, please join the battle!"
Seeing Xu Xuechuan's cold face and furrowed brows, the leader of the Qingming Guards did not dare to delay, but he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.
He seemed not in a hurry just now, why did he suddenly feel like his butt was on fire? !
With a flash of inspiration, Xu Xuechuan and the others came to a large hall. After being illuminated by the Tianyuan Guard in charge of this hall with a spiritual disk, the three of them quickly entered the city.
"Aruki, you take Jin back to the family to recuperate first. I'm going to visit two friends!"
As soon as he escaped from the main hall, Xu Xuechuan explained to the two long-haired men.
"Okay, second cousin, please be careful and don't force yourself to come forward!"
Xu Youmu knew that he couldn't be of much help, so he gave a warning and fled away with Xu Youjin who had broken his arm.
"It's useless even if I try to force my way forward, let's see what those two people do!"
While watching the two of them leave, Xu Xuechuan sighed, and then turned into a blue escaping light.
...
ps: There will be another chapter later.
