Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 152 Poor Signal
"Yes!"

The passerby, a Dou Huang, said tremblingly, "On that day, a phoenix cry came from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, followed by earth-shattering golden light and sword intent."

That overwhelming holy might instantly razed the Wind and Thunder Pavilion to the ground. I vaguely heard that human lord say, "Do not harm my human race," so he must have tried to stop me, but ultimately failed.

For the first time, the patriarchs of various forces in Zhongzhou had a real impression of Xiao Jibai, and the patriarch of the Pill Tower couldn't help but nod in approval.

Yao Wanhuo's eyes flickered between light and shadow, but a hint of murderous intent flashed across his face.

Gu Dao frowned: "Is that all?"

The passerby, a Dou Huang, was startled: "On the day the Feng Lei Pavilion was destroyed, this was all I saw."

Gu Qingyang said gently, "His cultivation is low. If he had approached rashly during a battle between half-saints, he probably wouldn't be alive now. It's understandable that he knows little."

Gu Dao's expression relaxed slightly, and he said, "Tell me again, what was the situation when Xiao Jibai first arrived at Fenglei Pavilion?"

The passerby, Dou Huang, said, "Yes! That day was the day of the Four Pavilions Conference held by the Four Pavilions."

Gu Dao and the others were confused. They didn't pay much attention to the forces in Zhongzhou, and only the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace were somewhat worthy of their attention. They had no idea what the so-called Four Pavilions Conference was.

"The situation on that day was as follows: the competition began and all participants entered the venue."

Feng Qing'er, a direct disciple of Fenglei Pavilion, displayed extraordinary strength, overwhelming everyone present, killing Wang Chen, and severely injuring Mu Qingluan and Tang Ying...

Afterwards, Feng Qing'er broke with Lei Zun Zhe and pointed out someone in the audience to settle old scores.

Initially, no one knew the person's identity. Later, when the person displayed two different kinds of strange flames, we realized that the person who had a grudge against Feng Qing'er was Xiao Yan, the one on the wanted poster.

"Xiao Yan?!"

Gu Dao looked slightly surprised; he hadn't expected Xiao Yan to actually survive the spatial storm.

"Xiao Yan, Yao Chen's disciple..."

The two immortals of Qinghua exchanged a glance, both seeing the complexity in each other's eyes.

"Yes, it is Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan originally concealed his identity, but under Feng Qing'er's relentless pressure, he was forced to reveal all his strength, which led to his identity being exposed."

The two were then both severely injured. Thunder Venerable of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion immediately attempted to capture Xiao Yan, but was stopped by Wind Venerable of the Starfall Pavilion.

"Starfall Pavilion, Venerable Wind..."

The ancient road recorded these two names.

Xiao Yan has already been wanted by the six clans. It's one thing for Venerable Feng not to arrest him, but instead to help Xiao Yan escape. Isn't that openly opposing them?
Such people and such power should not remain in Zhongzhou.

"After that, Venerable Huangquan and Venerable Jian made their moves. Venerable Feng fought against two opponents at once, holding off Venerable Lei and Venerable Huangquan, but had no time to stop Venerable Jian."

At this point, Xiao Yan's arrest seemed inevitable, but then the biggest unexpected event occurred.

Xiao Jibai, the successor of the Sword Emperor, arrived from the sky, easily defeated the Sword Venerable, and left with Xiao Yan, the Wind Venerable, and others.

That's the whole story of what happened that day.

"I am a passerby," Dou Huang said cautiously, fearing that Gu Dao might be displeased.

"According to what you said, Xiao Jibai's appearance at Fenglei Pavilion has an explanation."

Gu Dao stroked his beard, having roughly understood the whole process. After Xiao Jibai took Xiao Yan away, Fenglei Pavilion sent someone to deliver the message to them.

Unexpectedly, before they even arrived, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion had already fallen victim to the poisonous clutches of the Dragon and Phoenix Son.

Xiao Jibai fought against the Dragon and Phoenix Son in order to prevent the Wind and Thunder Pavilion from suffering calamity.

In that sense, Xiao Jibai does indeed possess some compassion.

A faint hint of disdain flashed across Gu Dao's eyes. The people of the mainland were like weeds covering the ground, countless in number. How unwise it was to fight against a powerful enemy because of these people who had nothing to do with him.

The Fire Spirit Fairy parted her lips slightly: "The biggest problem now is why the Dragon-Phoenix Son is attacking the Wind and Thunder Pavilion." Everyone looked puzzled.

Gu Qingyang thought for a moment and asked the passerby Dou Huang, "During the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament, did anything unusual happen?"

After a moment of contemplation, the passerby, Dou Huang, suddenly had a bright idea: "If we're talking about something unusual, nothing beats the changes in Feng Qing'er."

Feng Qing'er was originally a prodigy of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Later, she was taken in by Lei Zun Zhe. Although she was strong, she was only on par with Mu Qingluan, Tang Ying, and Wang Chen.

But for some reason, his strength suddenly increased dramatically, allowing him to fight three opponents at once during the tournament!

"Feng Qing'er is a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?!"
Why didn't you say so sooner!

Yao Wanhuo shouted.

The passerby was so startled that he almost lost his mind.

"It is not that I intentionally concealed anything, but the fact that Feng Qing'er, the young master of Fenglei Pavilion, comes from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is widely known in Zhongzhou."

I assumed that all of you gentlemen already knew, which is why I didn't specifically mention it!

The passerby, who was fighting the emperor, was on the verge of tears.

"We almost missed a crucial clue."

A cold glint appeared at the corner of Gu Dao's mouth.

Feng Qing'er, a member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, greatly increased her strength one day, and then the Dragon Phoenix Son destroyed the Wind and Thunder Pavilion the next. What a coincidence that these two events happened one after the other.

Her attempt to cover up the truth only makes it more obvious; Feng Qing'er must have a secret!

Even the fight between Feng Qing'er and Xiao Yan might be part of a covert power struggle between Xiao Jibai and the Dragon-Phoenix Child...

If Gu Qingyang hadn't been quick-witted and asked another question, they probably would have had to investigate for several more days before finding out.

"Where is Feng Qing'er now?"

Gu Dao frowned again, hoping that he would not die along with Feng Lei Ge.

“Feng Qing’er betrayed Feng Lei Pavilion at the Four Pavilions Conference, and then disappeared without a trace. I don’t know anything about her.”

Yao Wanhuo's face was frosty: "Could it be that, like Xiao Yan and Xiao Jibai, they've vanished into thin air again?"

"The monk may run away, but the temple can't. Feng Qing'er may have returned to the Phoenix Nest in Wutong... but if she's not, she may have disappeared like Xiao Yan."

Gu Dao shook his head. If it were a direct confrontation, they could use their absolute power to overpower Xiao Jibai and the Dragon Phoenix Son and obtain the Dou Di inheritance.

But the real problem is when the other party plays hide-and-seek with them. This behavior is like a slippery eel, impossible to catch, which is really a headache.

Yao Wanhuo said coldly, "There's no time to lose, let's head to the Beast Domain immediately! Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll be able to find them again!"

"Why go to such great lengths? We are elders who have left guards at the Phoenix Nest in Wutong."

With a gentle flip of his hand, a crystal-clear token suddenly appeared in his palm—the Soul-Guiding Jade.

"This item is indeed an excellent choice for communication; otherwise, even with our methods, it would take quite some time to travel to and from the Beast Realm."

A wisp of condensed soul power emanated from Gu Dao's fingertips, flowing slowly into the token like a gentle stream.

In an instant, a faint light flashed on the surface of the token, and an invisible soul fluctuation quietly spread out, heading towards the distant beast realm.

"Alright, let's just wait for news."

Gu Dao's tone carried a hint of confident composure.

However, what he didn't know was that just as the soul message was about to reach the Beast Realm, it paused without warning!
It was as if they were firmly wrapped by some inexplicable and strange force, and were stuck in a quagmire, unable to move an inch!
