to disrepute within a short period. This was something Chen He Nian couldn't accept. Lu Xiao Tian had only been a Nascent Soul for a few hundred years and still had plenty of lifespan, enough to prot..."You!" A hint of anger flashed across Yan Jiu's face. She hadn't expected Zhen Jingshan to be so disrespectful to her. He was clearly seeking revenge, did he think she was blind
“Although I have received the imperial decree and golden scroll, the edict doesn't specify a time to go to the Tian Sang Wasteland. Besides, I am seriously injured by you now and cannot travel. I will wait until my wounds have healed for some time before going.”
Lu Xia Tian knew exactly what Zhen Jing Shan was thinking. Although he was currently injured and needed a few days to recuperate, it wouldn't have much of an impact on his ability to fight. However, after the battle, Lu Xia Tian had gained some experience, but the damage to his soul still required healing. Unless absolutely necessary, Lu Xia Tian would try to reach the Tiansang Wasteland only when he was in peak condition. After all, Zhen Jing Shan's foundation built over many years in Huang Yi Xian Domain shouldn't be underestimated. Huang Yi Xian Domain is teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, its domain master and vice-domain master are even Heavenly Immortals.
Lu XiaTian wasn't sure yet if Zhen Jing Shan had any close friends, even ones whose strength was comparable to or even slightly stronger than his, besides his connection with the Dan Pavilion in Huang Yi Xianyu.
Charging headlong into a battle against powerful enemies when one's own strength is weakened and the opponent's capabilities are unclear is certainly not the action of a wise person.
Even Zhen Jing Shan's closest friends and even senior disciples might not harm him, a second-rank Dan Saint, over Zhen Jing Shan's affairs. However, Lu Xiao Tian had to be cautious.
“Brave, do you know the crime of delaying military operations” Zhen Jingshan roared, a sharp pain shooting through his broken right arm. The strange aura mixed with spatial energy made Zhen Jingshan want to vomit blood several times. Right now, he was only suppressing the injuries within his body with all his might. He knew that Lu Xiaottian's injuries would be worse than his, and yet Lu Xiaottian could still hold on. What reason did he have to lose face in front of him
"Since you know that delaying military operations is a crime, and yet you seriously injured me, a mere alchemist, what are your intentions If you want me to set off, I can do so. I will go and obtain another Jade Decree of Departure, specifying the departure time. Otherwise, I shall recuperate from my injuries within my cave."

Lu Xia Tian gave a faint smile and said, "Furthermore, I will request aid from the Pill Refining Pavilion. Even if the situation in the Heavenly Mulberry Wasteland is urgent, there's no reason to send a seriously injured person like me. There are numerous Second Grade Dan Saints across the Immortal Domains; my presence isn't absolutely necessary. Even if you dare to stir up trouble, I believe there are still discerning people within the Tian Dan Palace."

Zhen Jingshan's already pallid face now flushed with anger, clearly agitated by Lu Xiaoteng. He had overestimated himself, thinking that a personal visit to Guiling Xianyu would allow him to directly reprimand Lu Xiaoteng and then force him to leave. He relied on the might of his imminent ascension to the Heavenly Immortal realm and the authority bestowed by the Jade Scroll Golden Decree, believing no one would dare obstruct him. Of course, with just a few half-baked practitioners in Guiling Xianyu, they wouldn't be able to stop him anyway.
But who knew that things would take a turn for the worse, with Lu Xia Tian proving to be more difficult than expected. Not only did he fail to subdue his opponent, but he also ended up losing face and suffering casualties.
I should have been more meticulous about this matter from the start. Lu Xiaoteng's excuse, while a bit far-fetched, wasn't entirely without merit. The key lies in who holds more power. Right now, it's clear he's lost that edge.
And Lu Xiaottian's mention of the higher levels of Shangbao Tiandong Palace was not entirely unexpected. After all, delays often lead to unforeseen changes. When many things are dragged out, there are indeed many unpredictable accidents that can happen.
No, things must be decided before these accidents happen. Lu Xia Tian needs to be sent to the Tiansang Wasteland, that's where he has room to maneuver. A second-rank Dan Saint is not someone who can be openly moved against.
Thinking of this, Zhen Jing Shan's face changed several times. He didn't bother with Lu Xia Tian anymore, forcibly suppressing the internal injuries and flew back quickly.
At this time, Xie Yun and Qiao San were still somewhat disbelieving of the scene before them. Zhen Jingshan's strength was indeed as its reputation suggested - formidable. Even with several of them working together, they might not be a match for him. However, the powerful dragon crossing the river [metaphor for a strong person entering unfamiliar territory] had only managed to draw a stalemate against Lu Xiaotien, the deputy head of the Alchemy Pavilion. When did people from the Alchemy Pavilion become so fierce
“Thank you, Lord Lu, Deputy Lord Qiao, and Officer Yan. I am injured and must leave now. Farewell!” Lu Xia Tian bowed and was about to leave.
“Eastern Deputy Pavilion Master, I'll send you back to your cave abode. There are a few things I'd like to discuss with you.” Fire Sparrow Official Yan Jiu said instead.
“Indeed, the Deputy Master of the Eastern Palace is from my Guiling Xianyu. He's injured now, so it's only right to send him back. I and Brother Qiao will also join in the fun.”
Xie Yunyao hurriedly said. Previously, due to Zhen Jingshan's pressure, Xie Yun and the others felt they were no match for him and had always maintained neutrality. However, now that Zhen Jingshan, famous throughout the land, was facing Lu Xiaotien head-on but couldn't do anything to him, it meant that Lu Xiaotien's potential was no less than Zhen Jingshan's, even surpassing him. After all, Lu Xiaotien had only recently advanced to the Xuanxian realm. He fully had the ability to surpass Zhen Jingshan. Although they hadn't openly sided with Lu Xiaotien before, being able to withstand the pressure from the Zhen family and remain neutral was already considered a favor to Lu Xiaotien. While their closeness came a bit late, it was always better than doing nothing at all.
"Well then, I'll trouble you all." Lu Xiaottian had no time to be polite to the guests at this moment. He turned around and flew towards his cave dwelling. Zhen Jingshan was walking in front after all; if he were angered and attacked Cheng Santong or Zhu Yan, as long as he didn't kill them, Lu Xiaottian couldn't do anything about it. Even though Zhen Jingshan was seriously injured, he was far beyond the reach of a small cultivator like him.

"I wonder what Master Yan is looking for me about" Lu Xia Tian asked along the way.
“I need something you have, the item you obtained from that cache before.” Yan Jiu said truthfully.
"Which one" Lu Xiaodao said.

"Qixia Cloudlight Stone, I will come in handy. Eastern Deputy Pavilion Master, give me a price."
"Seven Clouds and Light Stone" Xie Yun and Qiao San both looked a little surprised. The two weren't very familiar with the objects from Zixing Fairy Palace. But hearing the name, and knowing that Fire Swallow Executioner Yan Jiu had personally come to request it, it must be no ordinary item.
"This, I have already promised that lion mane monster, to leave a piece for him. Though I am not a gentleman, at least I can be considered a person of my word."

Lu Xia Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Back when he was in the Purple Clearing Immortal Palace's hidden treasury, he had obtained three of these. These things were very useful to Xiang Qing Cheng, but she only needed two. The remaining one was indeed intended for that Lion Mane Guest. Of course, if the other party came looking for him, Lu Xia Tian would give it to them. If the other party couldn't come or suffered hardship due to other circumstances, then Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't offer it up."
"You don't have to worry about this. I've already captured Lionmane Demon and imprisoned him in the Heavenly Prison. Even if you give him this, he won't be able to get it, let alone use it." Yan Jiu said calmly.ason would Yu Xuan Heavenly Court have to save him later"If you won't tell me, I'll just go and see for myself. This place is chaotic, even if a Golden Immortal expert came here under normal circumsta...
