Chapter 653: Because I Have No Money!
"This way."
With the help of Xiao Wanfeng, Xin Gugu was speechless as he tore off the body from the wall panel, feeling that Xu Xiaoshou was becoming more and more like caramel candy.
He didn't dare to complain. He shuddered under someone's cold gaze and stopped talking nonsense and arranged a room for the Meisi people.
Then he accepted Xu Xiaoshou's instructions and went to Duojin Trading Company to prepare for some new furnishings of tables and chairs.
There were only two people left in the hall.
"Xiao Wanfeng, come here."
After choosing a training room, Xu Xiaoshou led Xiao Wanfeng inside.
Once the Lingyuan formation is isolated, although I don't know if this formation will be effective against a being like the Seven Swordsmen, it is better than nothing.
Besides, Xu Xiaoshou didn't think that beings like Mei Si would be so idle that they would eavesdrop on the conversation between the two of them and get straight to the point.
"Tell me about Void Island."
City in the Sky, Land of Sacred Secrets!
It was because of these two sentences that Xiao Wanfeng had the opportunity to enter the building.
Although what he just said made Xu Xiaoshou look at this young man with admiration.
But now it seems that there is a high probability that this is a swordsman genius who will die young in the future. After all, there are geniuses in mainland China. There is no reason why Xiao Wanfeng should be the only one to succeed.
The only thing Xu Xiaoshou can do is to help him if he has the opportunity since he knows him.
The rest is all up to this kid's own destiny.
Now, just use it as an ordinary person who knows some inside information!
"Void Island..."
Xiao Wanfeng was no stranger to this title of Young Master Xu. After murmuring this, he seemed to know that Young Master Xu actually knew a lot.
"What does Mr. Xu want to know?" he asked.
"Tell me everything you know." Since Xu Xiaoshou could let this guy enter the building, he didn't mind the lion opening his mouth and squeezing out everything he knew.
"Hmm..." Xiao Wanfeng thought for a moment and asked, "Has Mr. Xu ever heard anything about Pixiu Mountain?"
"Don't care whether I know it or not, just start from the beginning."
"good."
Xiao Wanfeng nodded and did not dare to ask any more questions. He considered his words and said, "Then I will start from Pixiu Mountain. Mr. Xu should know that there is not much time left before the trial in the royal city."
"And even though the Holy Temple has not made an official announcement, judging from the places where they have made big moves recently, it is no surprise that the place for this trial should be the Yunlun Mountains."
"The Yunlun Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles, and there are several famous peaks in the Eastern Heaven Realm. Pixiu Mountain is one of them."
"Outsiders may not know this, but I accidentally learned that the final location of this trial will probably be Pixiu Mountain."
"Inadvertently?" Xu Xiaoshou tilted his head.
"Well, it was indeed inadvertently..."
Xiao Wanfeng continued without covering up: "After I followed the footsteps of the Eighth Sword Immortal from the White Cave, I used the teleportation spirit array to arrive at Dongtian King City, but I did not enter the city immediately."
"For people like me who travel everywhere, climbing every majestic peak in every world and city is almost indispensable."
"Unfortunately, after I came to Dongtianwang City, the first majestic peak I chose to visit was Pixiu Mountain."
"However, at that time, I didn't know that Pixiu Mountain was the final location for the King City Trial prepared by Dongtian King City!"
Xiao Wanfeng paused and said a little funny:
"At that time, I went to climb Pixiu Mountain. I was surprised that such a famous peak and the highest spiritual mountain with the best luck in the Eastern Heaven Realm had so few climbers."
"Unknown to everyone, the Holy Temple Church happened to be at that time and had already begun to evacuate the crowd and seal the mountain and establish boundaries."
"I was one step ahead of them and entered the foothills of Pixiu Mountain. Because I was not a spiritual refiner, I was regarded as an aborigine of that place, so I was not expelled."
Sure enough... Xu Xiaoshou thought that his guess was good. As expected, this guy accidentally entered the barrier arranged by the Holy Temple because he had no spiritual energy.
I have to say that this is both a coincidence and destiny.
Xiao Wanfeng had a look of reminiscence in his eyes and continued: "Actually, there were many other families who entered Pixiu Mountain with me before it was closed, but those guys came illegally, and the major forces were not afraid of death. We need to send people in to get information.”
"Part of the manpower of the Holy Temple is scattered out to find these people."
"Perhaps because of these prerequisites, even if I was discovered twice by Baiyi on the way, they still regarded me as an aborigine who went hunting in the mountains and had not yet returned home, and sent me back to the foot of the mountain."
"At that time, I had no intention of going into the mountains again, but I vaguely felt a 'calling' in my heart."
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
call?
He suddenly thought of the pearl of light entrusted to him by Ancestor Jinzhao, the embarrassment saint, in the white cave.
When I was in the White Cave, I had similar guidance and always wanted to go somewhere by myself.
Could it be that the "call" Xiao Wanfeng received was similar?
Xu Xiaoshou moved his position on the wooden chair. His body was no longer limp, but he sat upright. He did not interrupt, but became more focused.
"continue."
Xiao Wanfeng nodded: "That call is magical. It is like a guide. I originally planned to leave the mountain and stop wading in the muddy water, but as soon as I stepped in the opposite direction, the call became stronger."
"Even until I was about to leave the barrier, it turned into a roar that gave me a splitting headache, right in my mind... It was terrible!"
Xiao Wanfeng was still frightened, and he spread his hands.
"There was no other way, I could only climb again, following the direction of the 'call', or 'guidance', to the top of the mountain."
"This time was magical, I even indulged my body deliberately, wanting the white-clothed people who sealed the mountain to send me out of the boundary, but the more unbridled I was, the less people I met."
"Just like that, I climbed to the top of the mountain very easily, and then stopped and bent down at the place where the call was the strongest, and inexplicably dug out a token..."
"Black token!"
Xiao Wanfeng looked incredible.
This was a terrifying experience similar to doing something real in sleepwalking, which was frightening and scary.
It seemed that at that time, he was really possessed by a ghost and did something he had never thought of, but it was really clear and horrifying.
"Token..."
Xu Xiaoshou didn't care about this guy's mood, he just considered the key words in his words and asked: "Void Token?"
"Uh, um."
Xiao Wanfeng was a little surprised.
He didn't expect Xu Shao to react so quickly and accurately name it. He nodded and said: "It's the Void Token! The moment I dug out the Void Token, the power that protected me from being discovered when I went up the mountain disappeared, and then the next second..."
The boy said with fear on his face, he seemed not to want to recall that scene.
He clenched his fists, gave himself some courage, and said: "The next second I looked up, and there were suddenly more than a dozen black-clothed men beside me, looking down at me!"
"... I dare to swear, before I dug the token, there was absolutely no one beside me!"
"Those guys appeared inexplicably, like ghosts, and there were more than ten ghosts... I was dumbfounded at the time!"
"These ghosts are very powerful, starting from the throne, leading the way of killing, not from the Holy Temple, and not in the same camp."
"According to the subsequent battle situation, they should be divided into three groups, I am just a mortal, I was so scared that I almost drew my sword..."
"And then you drew your sword?" Xu Xiaoshou was surprised. He was also curious about what it would be like when this young man drew his sword after hiding it for many years.
"No."
Xiao Wanfeng's face was embarrassed: "I didn't even have time to draw my sword, I was kicked unconscious. If I hadn't held the sword tightly, I would have dropped it."
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
"Then how did you escape?"
"Bai Yi."
Xiao Wanfeng sighed: "I was like a chess piece. I completed my mission, was seriously injured, but got nothing. Then I was found by Bai Yi and sent out again."
"Fortunately, they found me in time, otherwise, you might not see me..."
"Where is the token?" Xu Xiaoshou didn't have time to listen to him complaining, so he talked about irrelevant things.
As soon as he said this, he immediately reacted and said firmly: "I understand, so among the three groups of people who attacked you, one group was from Nightmao. Nightmao snatched the Void Order and successfully escaped from the barrier of the Holy Temple, preparing to hold the "Spiritual Fair"? "
"Uh..."
Xiao Wanfeng looked at him with a "damn, how do you know" expression, and hesitated: "Young Master Xu... also sent someone over?"
Xu Xiaoshou shook his head.
He just logically put together everything he knew.
"Does the Holy Temple know about this?" He asked: "The Void Order is actually taken away from you by Nightmao."
"Don't know...right?"
Xiao Wanfeng was a little uncertain: "The people from the Holy Temple came too late, they had already completed the arrangement of Pixiu Mountain, and the manpower was scattered in other places at that time...I seriously suspect that those who were able to arrive at the first time actually followed the inexplicable "call"."
"What do you mean?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.
"Because before I closed my eyes, I saw three ordinary people on the top of the mountain. They should be the real natives at the foot of Pixiu Mountain. They had no reason to go up the mountain." Xiao Wanfeng answered.
So that's it... Xu Xiaoshou suddenly realized.
He guessed that the instructions were not given directly to the spirit refiners, but to ordinary people. Could it be because the spirit refiners would choose to resist the call for no reason?
And ordinary people couldn't refuse?
Or maybe the call itself didn't want to cause a big commotion, or a big fight between the major forces.
It was just simple, in order to send out the Void Order, as for who got the token after it came out, it didn't matter?
But why didn't anyone in Bai Yi receive the instructions, but just came late?
Other forces could find people, but Bai Yi, as the owner of Pixiu Mountain, couldn't find those ordinary people who received the instructions?
"What does calling, or guidance, look like?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.
"This..."
Xiao Wanfeng frowned, not knowing how to describe it for a while.
"Om~"
Xu Xiaoshou opened his mouth and uttered a strange tone.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Xiao Wanfeng stood up excitedly from his chair, with a look of surprise on his face, pointing at Xu Xiaoshou repeatedly, even forgetting respect for a moment, "It's this voice, Xu Shao, you, you have also been summoned?"
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
His face darkened, and his mood suddenly became bad.
Sure enough, Void Island!
No wonder Xiao Wanfeng couldn't describe it, it was actually because this sound, like the Sanskrit sound of the great avenue, could not be produced by humans at all.
He Xu Xiaoshou met purely because of the "change" and the sound of the light beads coming every quarter of an hour in the white cave, making it difficult not to remember it freshly in his mind.
Xiao Wanfeng's affirmation also means that the call he received, like the call he received in the White Cave, came from Void Island.
Maybe they were both written by Ancestor Jinzhao, maybe not.
But absolutely, definitely, one hundred percent...this signal was released by Void Island!
"It's these guys doing it again. What do they want to do?"
"When we were in the White Cave, they tried to seduce me to go to the crack in another dimension, but I didn't go. In the end, I became the Eight Lords and came to know it."
"Now, I have spent so much effort to cross the border, just to summon a few ordinary people to dig out the Void Order..."
Xu Xiaoshou squinted his eyes and thought hard.
His intuition told him that this was related to the deal between Ba Zunzhen and Ancestor Jinzhao, as well as to the special critical period of the Royal City Trial, and to his next task of being a troublemaker.
——But he still couldn't figure out the obscure connection between them!
"Disgusting person, this is..."
After the incident in the White Cave, Xu Xiaoshou knew that he could not easily escape from these powerful arrangements.
He has grown!
He knew that as a chess piece, even if he wanted to move, he would inevitably end up inexplicably going from the other side of the world to the deepest part of the game.
Instead of doing this, it is better to think about how to escape, how to avoid those maelstroms as much as possible, mediate among multiple forces, and escape calmly.
"Holy Temple..."
Xu Xiaoshou thought about it, his eyes widened, and he asked: "The Holy Temple is not as bad as you think. It's not like they can't catch any news, and they can't be sure that the Void Order came out of Pixiu Mountain. of."
"No matter how bad it is, we can still use various means to deduce something..."
"So, after getting some rumors, they still dare to put the final area of the Royal City Trial on Mount Pixiu?"
"impossible!"
Xu Xiaoshou said, his expression became determined, "They will change places!"
Xiao Wanfeng was startled.
He couldn't keep up with Mr. Xu's thoughts for a while, and had no idea where this guy's thoughts were wandering while he was chatting.
Why did they suddenly talk about the Holy Temple changing location...
But Xiao Wanfeng is still very sure about this.
"I won't change it." He said loudly.
"Why?" Xu Xiaoshou's face turned pale.
Xiao Wanfeng didn't know how terrifying it was, but he knew that the Holy Temple definitely knew it.
Regarding the matter of Void Island, even if there is just a little bit of news or leakage, it is enough to touch the fundamental interests of the Holy Temple.
In this case, the safest way is to directly change the final location of the trial and be done with it!
Xiao Wanfeng looked helpless: "It is impossible to replace the Holy Temple. Not to mention encircling half of the Yunlun Mountains as a trial site will take a lot of time."
"Even the manpower and material resources they have invested in the barriers around the mountains in the past few months can determine this established fact."
After a pause, Xiao Wanfeng clenched his fist and said, "The Holy Temple will not change it. They can't change it even if they want to... because they have no money!"
