Chapter 609: Immortal Huofeng Xianzi Visits

The sky had brightened.

The people of Donghai City, having experienced a great catastrophe, felt like they had survived a disaster.

It was only early morning.

Dozens of divine rainbows landed outside Donghai City; these were Shenxiao City cultivators who had come to pay their respects to Li Rui, and some even came from Taihua Continent.

One person fighting six Dao Body Realm experts.

This strength was too frightening.

Worthy of being befriended.

Among them, the most special one had to be Huofeng Xianzi Zisu of the Baohua Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Changqing, you hid this from me so well."

Huofeng Xianzi Zisu said with a smile, matching her soft and charming phoenix eyes, indescribably seductive.

"Huofeng Xianzi, you jest; it was just some small methods."

Li Rui smiled faintly, unmoved.

The cultivators who had come to congratulate him in the main hall were all secretly clicking their tongues.

Baohua Pavilion did business across the entire Taihua Continent; most of them had been to Baohua Pavilion, and there were not a few who knew Huofeng Xianzi Zisu.

Who didn't know.

Although this Huofeng Xianzi Zisu seemed polite and gentle, she was actually very proud.

Baohua Pavilion was more than half a Taihua Continent away from Donghai City.

Yet Huofeng Xianzi Zisu was able to appear in the first batch; besides Baohua Pavilion's intelligence being powerful, it also showed how much she valued him.

Huofeng Xianzi Zisu always intentionally or unintentionally pressed her lotus-like arms against Li Rui's arm, a warmth coming through the thin clothing.

No need to think.

As long as Li Rui nodded, Huofeng Xianzi Zisu could become his Dao companion; even a fleeting romance was not impossible.

Huofeng Xianzi Zisu had taken a fancy to his potential, and his background.

Don't look at how Li Rui broke through realms as easily as drinking water; for ordinary cultivators, every step was extremely difficult. Take Huofeng Xianzi Zisu before him, for example, she had always been stuck at the early stage of the Dao Body Realm, unable to advance further.

Looking at Li Rui.

His backer Gao Tianxia had become a Soul Transformation expert, and he himself was extremely likely to achieve the Heaven-Human Realm, or even higher.

One must know.

The Soul Transformation Realm was already enough to be the ancestor of a second-rate immortal dynasty in Taihua Continent.

As for the higher True Monarchs and Dao Lords, those were existences that almost never appeared in the world.

Let's just put it this way.

If not for Jiang Linxian, Li Rui would never have had the chance to see a great power of the True Monarch level.

Therefore, whether it was immediate combat power, potential, or backers, Li Rui was worth Huofeng Xianzi Zisu entrusting herself to.

For a female cultivator, being able to find such a standard Dao companion was already an extremely good choice; as long as they dual-cultivated properly, breaking through a small realm would certainly not be a problem.

Just as Li Rui was about to speak.

Suddenly, a commotion arose at the entrance.

Looking over.

They saw a slender, cold fairy in green clothes appear at the entrance.

"This is... Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan?"

The cultivators in the room exclaimed in surprise.

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan had just broken through not long ago and was a true Heaven-Human Realm expert; to think she would come to congratulate someone in the Dao Body Realm.

It was truly inconceivable.

These people couldn't help but speculate about the relationship between Li Rui and Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan.

"Fellow Daoist Changqing, long time no see."

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan said.

Li Rui laughed: "Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan broke through, and I didn't congratulate you; it was a lapse in etiquette, I hope you will forgive me."

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan waved her hand indifferently: "I didn't invite anyone; it's normal that you didn't go."

Her status destined that she would not lack admirers.

In fact.

On the day she broke through, no fewer than several hundred people went to congratulate her, all of whom were turned away by her.

Hearing Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan's words.

Li Rui was dumbfounded.

This Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan was still as direct as ever.

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan: "Yan'er is in seclusion, trying to break through a bottleneck."

Hearing this, Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

If Jiang Yan broke through again, she would be in the Purple Mansion Realm, a true seeker of immortality.

It was something to be happy about.

She cultivated the Blazing Fire Great Dao and had the help of the Nanming Li Fire; breaking through should be a sure thing. This speed of breaking through was extremely extraordinary in the cultivation world.

Who told her to have a True Monarch father?

Seeing the two chatting like old friends.

Huofeng Xianzi Zisu walked to the side tactfully, just silently watching, a sourness rising in her heart for no reason.

She was not bad.

But compared to Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan, she was far too inferior.

Not to mention that the two women's appearances were evenly matched, Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan was a genuine Heaven-Human Realm expert; what was there to compare?

Appearance was worthless in front of realm.

She was simply no match.

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan would certainly not view her as an opponent.

A room full of Dao Body Realm experts, and now a Heaven-Human Realm expert had arrived; naturally, no one else would continue to stay without knowing their place.

Before long.

Only Li Rui and Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan remained in the main hall.

Seeing everyone leave.

Li Rui then asked: "Why did Fellow Daoist Qingluan come to Shenxiao City this time?"

He didn't think he had such great charm that he could make a Heaven-Human Realm fairy rush over to congratulate him.

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan laughed lightly: "I am a Deputy City Lord of Shenxiao City."

Hearing this.

Li Rui suddenly realized.

Shenxiao City had always had a configuration of one main and three deputy city lords; Hong Tianyong had died, and the position of deputy city lord had been vacant. Now, with Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan, also from the Twelve Towers and Five Cities, filling the position, it was reasonable.

"Congratulations, City Lord."

Li Rui cupped his fists to congratulate her.

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan just waved her hand casually: "I was just a step ahead; with your talent, Fellow Daoist, it's just a matter of time. It's better to address you as Fellow Daoist."

Clearly.

In Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan's eyes, she had long since regarded Li Rui as a peer.

Seniority in the cultivation world had always been ranked by realm.

In other words, Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan had already determined that Li Rui would become a Heaven-Human Realm expert.

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan: "Wan Fadian dared to slaughter the city; this matter angered the Elder Council. City Lord Yu and City Lord Gao are going to launch the 'Sixty Years of Sweeping Away Demons.' I came here to invite Fellow Daoist Changqing to join in settling the score with those demonic cultivators."

Li Rui remained silent.

Counting it up.

His friendship with Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan when they were at the Guniu Immortal Dynasty was quite good.

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan herself was a sword cultivator, and her combat power was also very strong.

She was a good choice.

It was just...

Sword cultivators were all lunatics; once they reached the battlefield, they were unstoppable, which was contrary to his style of doing things.

It was truly impossible to accompany her.

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan seemed to see what Li Rui was thinking: "Fellow Daoist Changqing, rest assured, I will be the one charging and killing outside; you, Fellow Daoist, only need to guard the main camp."

Hearing this.

Li Rui immediately smiled: "Since you have invited me, Fellow Daoist, then I will respectfully obey."

In this way, it was exactly what he wanted.

Seeing this.

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan couldn't help but laugh: "You, a strength cultivator who verified the Dao through strength, why are you so... cautious?"

All along.

The image of strength cultivators had always been even more fiery than sword cultivators.

One could see it from Gao Tianxia.

But when it came to Li Rui, he was terrifyingly steady.

But she also valued Li Rui's steady style; with Li Rui guarding the main camp, it would certainly be as solid as a rock, and she could also charge and kill outside with peace of mind.

The two could be said to be a perfect complement.

Li Rui laughed: "I suffered too many losses when I was young, so I'm afraid."

Huofeng Xianzi Qingluan raised her eyebrows.

If she remembered correctly, Li Rui seemed to be at least sixty years younger than her.

He really couldn't be considered old.

If anything, he should be considered young and promising.
