Star Martial Soaring Cloud

Upon closer inspection, the Epiphyllum oxypetalum appears even more mystical.

These three fairy epiphyllum flowers are fully mature, their petals unfurled, pure white as jade, crystal clear, and adorned with a faint golden light. They shimmer and glow under the light and shadow, emitting a soft halo, making them look extremely magical.

The stamens of the Epiphyllum are golden yellow, emitting a rich spiritual aura and a refreshing fragrance.

The fragrance was far more mellow than he had imagined. Inhaling it not only nourished his body but also purified his vital energy, bringing him immense peace of mind.

Three fairy epiphyllum flowers grow side by side, emanating a faint resonance between them. Their spiritual energy merges and forms a dense vortex of spiritual energy, which continuously converges towards the fairy epiphyllum flowers, transforming into a visible sea of ​​spiritual energy mist.

Immersed in it, Wang Xiao felt every pore on his body open up, and the Jianmu tree in his sea of ​​primordial energy trembled slightly, as if it were cheering and yearning for this extremely pure power.

This is the key to breaking through to the Dragon Gate Divine Realm—the Immortal Epiphyllum Flower!

He reached out, intending to carefully pluck the three fairy epiphyllum flowers and store them in the cellar.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the fairy epiphyllum, a cold rebuke suddenly came from the entrance of the valley, breaking the tranquility of the valley.

The voice was filled with intense anger, arrogance, and a barely perceptible hint of greed.

"What kind of petty thief dared to steal from me, his grandfather?"

Wang Xiao paused, the joy on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling coldness.

He slowly turned around and saw three figures walking quickly toward him.

The two leading figures were dressed in moon-white brocade robes embroidered with exquisite snowflake patterns, and wore jade pendants engraved with the words "North Pole" hanging from their waists—they were disciples of the North Pole Immortal Palace.

The man on the left was tall and slender with a sinister face and sharp eyes like a hawk; the man on the right was slightly short and stout, with a cold smile on his lips, his gaze fixed on Wang Xiao, full of scrutiny and greed.

Behind the two followed a rogue cultivator in a gray robe. He had an ordinary face, but his eyes revealed a hint of flattery and cunning, making him a sycophant at first glance.

"Put our things down!" the tall, slender disciple in the lead said in a high-pitched, shrill voice, carrying an unquestionable arrogance.

He took a step forward, his body surging with energy, and released his perfected cultivation level without reservation, his pressure enveloping Wang Xiao like a mountain.

Another short, stout disciple also moved, releasing the aura of a fish leaping to perfection, echoing the former and locking onto Wang Xiao firmly.

"Who dares to be so bold as to trespass into our Arctic Immortal Palace's camp and steal our treasures!" The short, stout disciple sneered, his tone full of contempt and mockery.

Wang Xiaojing looked at the three of them, expressionless.

Upon seeing this, the gray-robed rogue cultivator quickly stepped forward and obsequiously bowed to the two disciples of the Arctic Immortal Palace: "Fellow Daoist Yun, Fellow Daoist Zhao, this scoundrel is incredibly audacious, daring to steal your palace's treasures!"

As a rogue cultivator from the Northern Plains, Li Hao had always wanted to join the Arctic Immortal Palace. Now that he had gained the appreciation of two disciples of the Arctic Immortal Palace, he naturally worked extra hard.

In a short while, the three of them had surrounded Wang Xiao in the center.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you saw it clearly. This is the man who trespassed into our Arctic Immortal Palace's camp and stole our treasure, the Immortal Ephemeral Flower. But you saw it with your own eyes, and we cannot wrong an innocent person!" The short, stout disciple named Yun Fei spoke with righteous indignation, clearly trying to confirm Wang Xiao's identity as a "bad guy."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly nodded and bowed, cupping his hands to Yun Fei and Zhao Han. Then, his gaze turned icy as he stared at Wang Xiao, his tone fierce as he rebuked, "Rest assured, both of you immortals, I saw it clearly. It was this thief who trespassed into your camp and stole your treasures! I can testify to this; there is not a single falsehood!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward, his eyes gleaming with increasing greed and hostility. He roared at Wang Xiao, "You scoundrel! Surrender now, hand over the Immortal Ephemeral Flower, and beg for mercy from the two immortal masters! Perhaps they will be merciful and spare your life! But if you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for being ruthless. We will tear you to pieces and ensure you die without a burial place!"

Wang Xiao looked at the three people in front of him with a cold, mocking expression.

They tried to steal from me?

Do you still want to distort the truth and confuse right and wrong?

It's obvious that all three of them are hypocrites!

He clearly wanted to kill him and steal the Fairy Ephemeral Flower that he had discovered first, but he made it sound so noble and righteous, framing him as a thief who stole the treasure—he was utterly shameless!

He was too lazy to waste words with the three of them. He carefully put the three fairy epiphyllum flowers into the cellar without glancing at them again, as if they didn't exist.

Seeing that Wang Xiao completely ignored him and even put away the fairy epiphyllum, Li Hao was furious.

He had hoped to make a good impression on Yunfei and Zhao Han and curry favor with them so that he could successfully join the Arctic Immortal Palace, but Wang Xiao's actions were undoubtedly a public slap in the face for him—how could he tolerate that?

"Didn't you hear what I said?!" Li Hao shouted sharply, taking a step forward and pressing towards Wang Xiao.

"I heard it," Wang Xiao said calmly, her tone icy. "I heard three dogs barking, I don't know where they came from."

"You're asking for it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao's face instantly turned ferocious. He suddenly stretched out his right hand, bringing a sharp gust of wind, and viciously grabbed at Wang Xiao's neck.

Wang Xiao stood still, expressionless, her eyes coldly fixed on Li Hao who was charging towards her.

Just as Li Hao's hand was about to touch his neck, Wang Xiao's figure moved slightly, with astonishing speed, like a ghost.

Li Hao didn't even see how Wang Xiao moved before he felt his neck tighten and he was grabbed by Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao gripped Li Hao's neck tightly with tremendous force.

Li Hao felt his breathing become difficult, his face turned red, and he waved his hands frantically, trying to break free from Wang Xiao's grasp.

But Wang Xiao's hand was like an iron clamp, gripping his neck tightly, making him unable to move or even struggle. He could only let out suffocating "hoarse" sounds, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief.

"If you're so eager to be a dog, then get out of there and get on the ground."

After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he suddenly swung Li Hao up and slammed him hard onto the ground.

With a loud bang, Li Hao's body slammed heavily onto the ground, instantly creating a small crater.

Li Hao let out a piercing scream, then his voice abruptly stopped, and he was no longer breathing.

"Which of you two will go first? Or will you both come at me?"
