Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

Just as Xu Changqing infused his own Wood Spirit Power into Li Sancai's Communication Talisman, a sudden "crack" of an explosion rang out from the Arena on the other side, as if something had shattered.

Xu Changqing hurriedly interrupted the connection, then looked toward the Arena together with Hu Bugui, and both their faces instantly changed.

Zhao Ziyue relied on his enduring Water Spirit Power to envelop himself in a protective Water Ball during combat, and just now, that explosive sound was precisely the noise made when the Water Ball was shattered.

Without the Water Ball, it meant less defense, less damage reduction, and even his speed slowed down.

Xu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Lao Zhao, can you still hold on?"

Zhao Ziyue gritted his teeth: "I... I'm still okay."

Hu Bugui said indignantly: "Isn't this just bullying an honest person?"

"Heh... you'd better admit defeat early. You're already countered by my Spiritual Root to begin with, and you can at most exert half your strength. Even if your Spiritual Power is enduring, how much longer can you last?" The Earth Spirit Root male disciple opposite wore an expression that seemed like a smile yet not a smile.

Although the Water Spirit Root's advantage is enduring Spiritual Power, allowing one to last longer in combat, the Earth Spirit Root is no different — its Spiritual Power is equally enduring, and its defense is even stronger.

Zhao Ziyue's attacks landing on the opponent were like scratching an itch, whereas he himself could barely take a hit before the Water Ball on his body shattered; this was simply not an evenly matched battle.

Judging from the current situation, this Earth Spirit Root male disciple was even deliberately toying with him.

Suddenly, a "bang" rang out from the other side.

Everyone nearby was startled and hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see a black Flying Shuttle had crashed down on the empty ground over there.

No, "plummeted" would be more appropriate to describe it.

Immediately after, a female Cultivator stumbled down from it.

"Han Xin?!"

Xu Changqing's eyes brightened, and he hurriedly went up to greet her.

Han Xin raised the Wine Pouch in her right hand and took a big gulp, then wiped the wine from her mouth and asked: "What exactly is going on?"

Xu Changqing immediately explained: "It's like this......"

Very quickly, he recounted the entire sequence of events.

Han Xin listened in a daze, then asked as if to confirm: "So, you've been selling roasted meat this whole time?"

Xu Changqing nodded, stating as a matter of course: "I'm a farmer; selling roasted meat is perfectly reasonable, right!"

Han Xin looked toward the Arena with a helpless face. She didn't know Zhao Ziyue, but the Earth Spirit Root male disciple opposite rang a bell in her mind, so she immediately walked over.

Xu Changqing followed closely behind upon seeing this.

"Lao Xu, can finding this drunkard really work?" Hu Bugui had some impression of Han Xin, but they were basically all very bad impressions.

Faced with this, Xu Changqing didn't know how to answer, and could only grip Li Sancai's Communication Talisman in his hand tighter.

Soon, Han Xin swayed over to the base of the Arena, then narrowed her eyes and stared intently at the Earth Spirit Root male disciple above for a while, before suddenly realizing: "Isn't this Wang Xuan?"

"Han... Senior Sister Han?"

Originally, the Earth Spirit Root Wang Xuan was pondering how to toy with Zhao Ziyue, but upon seeing that familiar face, his complexion drastically changed, and he instantly became nervous: "Why have you come!"

Han Xin clicked her tongue, then beckoned to him and shouted: "Scram over here."

Wang Xuan's mouth corners twitched several times; after thinking it over, he still ran down from the Arena and asked rather humbly: "Senior Sister Han, with so many people watching, can't you give your junior brother some face?"

"Face?"

Han Xin curled her lip at those words and retorted disdainfully: "Do you know they're all my friends?"

"Uh......" Wang Xuan instantly stared wide-eyed.

You see, Han Xin is quite famous in the Spiritual Vein, not only because she loves drinking, but more because she possesses extremely high talent in Spiritual Arrays.

Therefore, any Earth Spirit Root disciple in the Spiritual Vein respects her greatly, which can also be understood as fearing her.

Han Xin pointed at Xu Changqing, then pointed at Zhao Ziyue on the Arena, and glared as she shouted: "One is Nong's friend, one is Nong's friend's friend — are you sure you want to offend Nong?"

Wang Xuan was scared pale, stammering: "No... I... I just......"

Xu Changqing seized the moment to press: "Who exactly is instigating you?"

Wang Xuan opened his mouth, but hesitated, clearly unwilling to speak easily.

Han Xin coldly smiled: "You're also an Earth Spirit Root disciple in the Spiritual Vein; you know what consequences await once you offend Nong, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan's pupils shrank, his eyes full of terror.

You see, the person Earth Spirit Root disciples least dare offend is an Array Master, mainly because Array Masters hold a very unique status in the Immortal Sect.

Especially the one before him — she's a madwoman; once offended, she'll absolutely find a chance to get drunk and then go on a crazy drunken rampage.

The last person who offended Han Xin was blocked at their door and scolded for seven full days — truly a torrent of abuse, even becoming a laughingstock for everyone's idle chatter.

If he were blocked at his door and scolded for seven days, that would still be the light outcome; the key is offending an Array Master — just thinking about his future days makes his heart shiver with cold dread.

Han Xin barked: "Speak!"

Wang Xuan shivered in fright and could only helplessly say: "It was a person named Xu Mingsheng from the Xing Nong who sought my help; as long as I defeat Zhao Ziyue, I can obtain a Middle-grade Spirit Stone."

"Xing Nong?" Han Xin's brows furrowed.

"Xu Mingsheng?" Xu Changqing found this name somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

At this moment, Zhao Ziyue saw the fight was off, so he came down from the Arena to the group's side, then quietly asked Hu Bugui: "What's the situation now?"

Hu Bugui scratched his head, looking puzzled: "So after all that fighting, it turns out it's our own people messing with our own people!"

"I've said everything I should say, Senior Sister Han, please spare my life!" Wang Xuan was apprehensive and uneasy.

Han Xin ignored him, instead looking at Xu Changqing and saying seriously: "As one of the Five Great Powers, the Xing Nong holds the Spirit Plants everyone needs — I cannot offend them."

Although she likes drinking, and even more likes going on drunken rampages, when it's time to be rational, she is absolutely rational.

Offending the Xing Nong for one person is obviously a loss outweighing the gain, it can even be said to be completely not worth it.

Xu Zhangqing nodded lightly: "You coming to help is already giving a lot of face.

At least, we already know who is causing trouble."

Han Xin pondered: "Li Lingbi and Lu Yuanyuan of the Xing Nong have a pretty good relationship. If you want to thoroughly solve this matter, I suggest finding Li Sancai.

He is Li Lingbi's paternal cousin, equivalent to an Agent in the Immortal Sect; the other side should give face."

Hu Bugui asked blankly: "Why not directly find Li Lingbi?"

As a result, he discovered everyone was staring at him with eyes like looking at an idiot.

Zhao Ziyue patted his shoulder: "Brother, even I know Li Lingbi went to the Central Region to hunt demons."

As a Core Disciple of the Water Control Pavilion, Li Lingbi's every move attracts attention.

"Hehe." Hu Bugui could only use a stupid laugh to cover his embarrassment.

Xu Zhangqing picked up the Communication Talisman already prepared in hand, exclaimed: "Unexpected, in the end still have to ask Senior Brother Li for help!!!"
