Chapter 322: Xun Xiu's Threat

n Feng Valley alone. Firstly, this place wasn't very suitable for his cultivation, and secondly, he was worried about Dong Fang Yi and needed to go back and check on her. 。Ge Changting and Xiao Sannia...After parting ways with Wang Defeng, Lu Xia Tian rode his wooden puppet back to his residence. He hadn't gone far when he suddenly saw a hunched and thin old man standing there. The old man was facing away from him at the moment, and Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but be stunned. The back view seemed familiar. The hunchbacked old man seemed to sense that someone was watching him, so he turned around and looked at Lu Xia Tian up and down, a flash of surprise in his eyebrows, then he let out a sinister smile, "I wonder who it is. It's actually Junior Brother Lu. After all these years since we fought alongside each other against the cultivators from Nanhua, I haven't seen you in quite some time. How have you been, Junior Brother"

Such a keen sense of perception, Lu Xia Tian was slightly surprised. There were so many people on the street, and he had only glanced at Xun Xiu a few times from behind. He sensed something unusual. The first time they met in the library hall, Xun Xiu's impression wasn't particularly friendly, but it wasn't repulsive either. However, seeing him again now, the other party not only cultivated to the seventh level, with signs of a breakthrough, becoming a late-stage foundation builder, and even though Xun Xiu was very good at hiding it, Lu Xia Tian could still feel Xun Xiu's unintentional gaze like that of a venomous snake.

A sinister and evil martial art. Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. Xun Xiu's change began from an unexpected discovery of the secrets within the black scales. Not only did his strength increase greatly, but his temperament changed drastically. It seemed that those few black scales must contain some kind of eerie and shockingly powerful martial art.

"Thanks to Brother Xun's guidance, I've been doing alright these past few years," Lu Xiaoteng smiled faintly. Perhaps Xun Xiu's strength had advanced greatly, but he was no longer the fledgling cultivator who had just broken through to the Qi Refining stage. His cultivation was not inferior to his opponent. As for Xun Xiu's icy gaze, he didn't need to take it too seriously. He used the Breath Concealing Technique to suppress the fluctuations of his spiritual energy to that of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. It seemed Xun Xiu hadn't noticed. As long as they stayed together, he just needed to be on guard. However, Lu Xiaoteng and Xun Xiu were destined not to walk the same path. They would likely spend more time together in the future. As for Xun Xiu going to harm others, he was free to do so, as long as it didn't involve him personally.

"Ever since I parted ways with you, Brother Lu and Sister Su seem to have some prejudice against me, quite wary. Did you say something unpleasant about me behind my back" Xun Xiu stared coldly at Lu Xiaodao. "I advise you not to slander others behind their backs, be careful that you will face retribution."

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Whether or not it was malicious slander, your brother Xun knows best in his heart. Though the methods and aura of that shadow attack in the bamboo forest were concealed for a time, they can't be hidden for a lifetime. As for what I do, does your brother Xun think he has a say in the matter" Lu Xiaotian said, ignoring Xun Xiu's threatening gaze.

"So, Junior Brother Lu means to turn against me" Xun Xiu's eyes suddenly sharpened, hiding a terrifying malice and resentment within them. It felt like a venomous snake that had been dormant for years.

“I advise you to restrain yourself. Don't think that after cultivating some kind of evil skill, you can act recklessly. If you want revenge, try it.” Facing Xun Xiu’s threat, Lu Xia Tian acted as if he hadn’t heard it, staring back defiantly. Both knew what the other was thinking, so there was no need to beat around the bush.

"Very well, let's see what happens then." Xun Xiu was furious. After replying with a snide remark, he left without another word.

Originally, Lu Xia Tian was still somewhat interested in those black scales. However, after seeing Xun Xiu's personality change drastically after practicing that strange cultivation technique, his interest in the scales naturally diminished.

Several days later, Lu Xia Tian went to Wang's Weaponry Workshop to pick up his wheelchair. He carried the invitation card sent by Wang De Feng and arrived at the auction venue, which was still Lian Yun Mountain Villa in Wang Yue City. However, this was not surprising, as there were only a handful of places in Wang Yue City capable of hosting large-scale auctions. Furthermore, suitable venues for such events were limited. Over the years, Lian Yun Mountain Villa had clearly established its reputation.

Lu Xia Tian arrived at the main gate of Lian Yun Mountain Villa in a wheelchair crafted from cold iron wood. At this time, there were already many cultivators of various levels entering and exiting. However, seeing the familiar hunched figure among the crowd, Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but be slightly startled. This world is truly small. Unexpectedly, after having an unpleasant encounter just two days ago, they now met again. It's really a narrow road for enemies.

"So, Junior Brother Lu is also here at the auction Your abilities aren't weak either. Why are you sitting in a wheelchair Are you injured Perhaps Senior Brother can take a look." Xun Xiu didn't expect to encounter Lu Xiaoteng so soon again. However, seeing Lu Xiaoteng sitting in a wheelchair now, he immediately understood why the other party had been riding that depreciating wooden puppet horse a few days ago. It turned out his legs were inconvenient. Although Qi Refining cultivators could move freely even without legs, within this Flying Forbidden City of Wangyue, it was still quite troublesome.

"Xun Dao-you, who is this" Accompanying Xun Xiu was a middle-aged man with a horse face. His triangular eyes also carried a hint of sinisterness.

"It's me, an incompetent junior brother. I didn't expect to end up with broken legs." Xun Xiu sneered coldly.

“It seems you and Xun aren't on good terms, young one. When you have time, why don't we spar outside Moonlit City” The middle-aged man with a horse face looked at Lu Xiaitian with a smirk.

"If you have time, come to Lingxiao Palace and find me. I'll be there anytime." Lu Xia Tian calmly replied, reaching out with a hand to push a azure-colored invitation card towards the guards at the door.

“Oh, it seems we have a distinguished guest arriving. Please come in.” Upon seeing Lu Xia Tian's blue invitation tag, the guard hadn't even time to report before the person in charge at the gate immediately stepped forward to greet them. Although he didn't know the background of this silver-haired youth in the wheelchair, anyone who could obtain a blue invitation tag must either be incredibly wealthy or possess extraordinary strength. In any case, it was not something an ordinary Qi refining cultivator could acquire.

"Let's go in." After Zhi pasted the invitation for the guard, Xun Xiu and the horse-faced cultivator frowned. Though no one came out to greet them, they walked towards Lu Xia tian's direction after all. After all, many people entered Lianyun Mountain Villa, and quite a few went directly to the main hall. However, very few people went in the direction Lu Xia tian was heading.

But just a few steps later, Xun Xiu and the horse-faced cultivator were stopped again by two powerful guards. This time, the guards were two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation establishment, wearing sets of expensive spirit armor, standing impassively before Xun Xiu and the horse-faced cultivator, "This is the core area of the auction, visitors stop here."

"Why was that person just allowed to go" the horse-faced cultivator pointed at Lu Xia Tian's retreating figure.

"When you're qualified to get the blue one, then talk again." The middle-aged cultivator on the left scoffed.
