Who cares about childhood sweethearts when they can become immortals?

Chapter 168 Account
Previously, when Xiao Qionggui burst out the spiritual pressure of the third level of foundation building, Xu Ji could faintly sense a sense of disobedience from his body through the high spiritual energy affinity. It seemed that Xiao Qionggui had already burst out the spiritual pressure with all his strength. But Xu Ji could faintly notice that the spiritual energy in his body was somewhat restrained.

Moreover, Xiao Qionggui's method of suppressing spiritual energy also felt vaguely familiar to Xu Ji. It happened to be exactly the same as the secret art of mortal transformation that he had recently practiced to a small degree. Therefore, it was not difficult to guess that Xiao Qionggui also practiced the secret art of mortal transformation. He is also hiding his own strength.

After realizing this, Xu Ji was keenly aware that the two brothers Xiao Qiongfeng and Xiao Qionggui might not be as close as the rumors said, and Xiao Qionggui might not be so willing to become Xiao Qiongfeng like the rumors. The right-hand man who took over as the head of the Xiao family.

Although Xiao Qionggui's face was ashen, he still did not choose to reveal his hidden strength when he was defeated, so the angry look on his face now may not be his disguise in front of Xiao Qiongfeng. After all, there are always people who have no intention of being overjoyed. It makes people more relaxed.

Xu Ji smiled faintly. If Xiao Qionggui really planned to become Xiao Qiongfeng's enemy, then he might not be able to join forces with him. Even if he defeated Xiao Qionggui in front of everyone and embarrassed him, so what, as long as he If the interests are sufficient, even life-and-death enemies may not be unable to join forces.

If Xiao Qionggui really had the idea of ​​seeking the head of the Xiao family, he would probably not need to contact Xu Ji. Xiao Qionggui himself would find an opportunity to contact Xu Ji to find an ally for himself.

"It's just that... I can detect that Xiao Qionggui is hiding his strength through his high spiritual affinity and the practice of the secret art of mortal transformation. Then, is there anyone with high spiritual affinity in this fairy Taoist school who also realizes that he is also there? Hidden strength? It seems that the secret technique of transforming into a mortal at the junior level is still a bit unreliable. After returning to the extreme level, it may be more concealable."

Xu Ji thought in his mind that although his high spiritual energy affinity was a talent he acquired after he practiced the Ten Thousand Dao Jue to the extreme, no one should be able to practice the Ten Thousand Dao Jue to the extreme except himself who has the proficiency panel. environment to obtain this talent of high spiritual energy affinity.

However, if someone is born with a higher affinity for spiritual energy than ordinary people, and this person happens to have practiced the secret art of mortal transformation and notices something strange about himself, then wouldn't his previous forgery be completely in vain? In this way, the secret technique of transformation into mortals at the minor level is naturally no longer enough.

"Senior Xu Ji, since the ordinary third level of foundation building can no longer put too much pressure on you, how about letting the senior give you some guidance? After all, if you can't encounter pressure, you won't be able to gain much from the competition." Looking at it. Xiao Qionggui said with a smile to Xu Ji who was still in the ring, as if it was not him who had the conflict with Xu Ji just now, but he was just a close senior who was thinking about his juniors.

Looking at Hong Tianyuan who came to the Lunfa Hall to stand up for Xu Ji, Xiao Qiongfeng couldn't help but have a flash of solemnity on his face. Even if he had passed through the ninth foundation bridge, even if he could defeat an enemy on the battlefield outside the territory, Three consecutive kills of three nine-star profound masters who were comparable to ninth-level foundation-building monks, but Xiao Qiongfeng still knew that if he faced Hong Tianyuan, he would be defeated miserably.

"Xiao Qiongfeng, if you want to compete, how about competing with me? How about letting me give you some advice?"

Xu Ji smiled faintly and was about to speak when he heard a familiar rough voice from outside the venue.

"Xiao Qiongfeng, how about I give you some advice?" Hong Tianyuan led An Ke to the ring and stood opposite Xiao Qiongfeng. Hong Tianyuan looked at Xiao Qiongfeng with a half-smile but a sharp light in his eyes. Flashed.

"Hong Tianyuan..."

The surrounding onlookers spontaneously made way for Hong Tianyuan. They came here just to watch the excitement. Now that the excitement is getting more and more popular, they naturally become happier and happier. How can they stop Hong Tianyuan from entering?

Everyone couldn't help but look back after hearing the words, and found that the person who spoke was none other than Hong Tianyuan, the president of the Zhudao organization, and standing next to Hong Tianyuan, who came to the Lunfa Hall with him, was the vice president of the Zhudao organization. , An Ke.

If he were also at the ninth level of foundation building, Xiao Qiongfeng would be confident that he could compete with Hong Tianyuan, but now he is only at the eighth level of foundation building. If he wants to leapfrog and fight, he might as well just go to sleep. Even if he is a genius, he can still compete with Hong Tianyuan. Isn't Hong Tianyuan, who ranks sixth in Xianling Taoist Academy, a genius?
When talents and talents are similar, realm is the only criterion for measuring combat power. Even if the difference is only a small realm, he will be defeated miserably against Hong Tianyuan, and there is no other possibility.

Although Hong Tianyuan is only at the ninth level of foundation building, one level higher than Xiao Qiongfeng, Hong Tianyuan is ranked sixth among the 72 ninth level foundation building monks in Xianling Taoist Academy, and his strength is sixth in Xianling Taoist Academy. There are only five people who can overpower him, and his strength is considered to be the top foundation-building monk in the entire Immortal Alliance.

"Hong Tianyuan, are you planning to stand up for Xu Ji? What's the business of you here?" The smile on Xiao Qiongfeng's face faded, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was a bit of gloom in his narrow eyes.

"Xu Ji is a member of my organization. He is my brother. If you embarrass my brother, you are embarrassing me. It is natural and reasonable for me to stand up for him." Hong Tianyuan said matter-of-factly, "Of course someone's claws are stretched too long. Some of them have reached into the Zhudao organization, and as the president of the Zhudao organization, I naturally need to be responsible for cutting off these extended claws. "

When Xu Ji heard this, he knew in his heart that Hong Tianyuan stood up for him this time because his previous mission in the Zhudao organization was leaked. Xiao Qiongfeng contacted someone within the Zhudao organization and obtained the information about him. Although this method of intercepting one's own mission by receiving information about the mission did not violate the rules of the Immortal Spirit Academy or the laws of the Immortal Alliance, this method broke the rules of the organization. The very existence of the organization is to stabilize the network of people within the organization, but now a traitor has appeared in this network, leaking information about people within the organization to outsiders. If this cannot be properly handled, how can everyone in the organization do it? Trust each other, and if you can't even trust each other, how can you maintain the network of connections in the organization?
In this way, as the president of the organization, Hong Tianyuan has no choice but to take action, and must take action. This is an explanation to Xu Ji and to the rest of the organization.

Xiao Qiongfeng was slightly silent. Although he knew that his previous actions were a bit taboo, he had never guessed that Hong Tianyuan valued Xu Ji so much and was willing to stand up for him and embarrass him. Therefore, his current situation was somewhat in a dilemma.

"What do you think?" After a long silence, Xiao Qiongfeng spoke. He didn't understand the matter, so he had to take a step back.

"Who?"

Hong Tianyuan just uttered one word cleanly, but Xiao Qiongfeng understood what Hong Tianyuan meant. What Hong Tianyuan wanted was to tell him who leaked the information about Xu Ji's mission.

But how could Xiao Qiongfeng tell Hong Tianyuan who leaked the information that Xu Ji received?

"Impossible." Xiao Qiongfeng refused simply. If he really told Hong Tianyuan the news, maybe Hong Tianyuan could easily pass it, but his reputation would be ruined. How can he attract others to serve him?
If I really tell Hong Tianyuan this news, I am afraid that I will have more trouble in the future if I want to take over as the head of the Xiao family.

Hong Tianyuan chuckled twice when he heard this. He did not look at Xiao Qiongfeng, but turned to Xu Ji and said, "Xu Ji, how about you come down here first and let your brother Hong use it?"

"I'm done. If Brother Hong wants to use it, of course he can." Xu Ji was slightly startled when he heard this, then responded with a grin, then walked out of the ring and handed the ring to Hong Tianyuan.

After Hong Tianyuan patted Xu Ji's shoulder, he stepped into the void. It seemed that he just took a step, but it seemed to distort the space. After taking one step, he appeared on the ring.

When this scene fell in Xu Ji's eyes, Xu Ji's pupils shrank slightly. Generally speaking, only monks in the Golden Core Realm could achieve teleportation across space within a short distance. Although Hong Tianyuan's move could not be regarded as teleportation, it was This method of moving space so close to the end of the world is probably close to that of Master Jin Dan.

Xu Ji remembered that when Wan Qisheng pulled him to join the Zhudao organization, he mentioned that Hong Tianyuan was only one step away from condensing the golden elixir and breaking through to the real Jindan. He originally thought that this was just Wan Qisheng's boast, but now it seems that I'm afraid this statement is not false.

After boarding the ring, Hong Tianyuan stood with his hands behind his back, stared at Xiao Qiongfeng indifferently, and said in a cold voice: "Then you go on stage and have a fight with me. The strong man of law will be righteous. Let's see if you have a fight." Which one of us is stronger and who is weaker? Let’s have a battle to see whether I am upright or you are despicable.”

Xu Ji, who had just stepped off the stage, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, as if something was wrong, but there didn't seem to be anything wrong.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiongfeng hesitated slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant. He snorted coldly and stepped onto the ring. At this point, unless he was willing to tell Hong Tianyuan the news about the person who had previously leaked information about Xu Ji's mission, Hong Tianyuan would Tianyuan will definitely not give up easily. Since there is no way to retreat, why bother to retreat again?

Xiao Qiongfeng has now reached the limit of his cultivation at the eighth level of foundation building. He is only limited by the bottleneck and cannot break through to the ninth level of foundation building. If he wants to work hard to break through the bottleneck, it may take a year and a half, no matter how short, but if he can take advantage of this time The pressure when fighting Hong Tianyuan may not allow him to break through to the ninth level of foundation building in one fell swoop.

The onlookers outside the arena couldn't help but get even more excited when they saw Xiao Qiongfeng actually step into the ring. They quickly started calling friends to join in the fun. This was different from the small fights in the early stages of foundation building. Xiao Qiongfeng of the eighth level and Hong Tianyuan of the ninth level of foundation building, these two people can already be regarded as the first-class combat power of the students in the Taoist academy.

If one can gain even a little bit of insight from the fight between these two people, it would be of considerable benefit to monks in the early to mid-stage of foundation building.
