Chapter 342: Xuanyuan Five Directions Army

The items from the Xuanyuan Mansion cannot be taken away!!!

Hearing this, Hua Changxi and her four companions all simultaneously performed a black face technique.

Hua Changxi had already withstood a wave of probing from Spirit Platform realm cultivators. At this moment, Tong Yao, as the oldest of the five, stepped forward without hesitation and said, "Tong Yao of the Artifact Saint Palace greets the five seniors. May I ask how the five seniors should be addressed?"

The five Xuanyuan generals exchanged glances.

"Wei Changgeng, Left Army Defender of the Xuanyuan Army."

"Huo Jinglei, Right Army Defender of the Xuanyuan Army."

"Qin Feng, Front Army Defender of the Xuanyuan Army."

"Xiao Lie, Rear Army Defender of the Xuanyuan Army."

"Lu Zhenting, Central Army Defender of the Xuanyuan Army."

Hua Changxi and her four companions: As expected of the Xuanyuan Army!

Tong Yao: "Greetings, five generals." He paused. "Five generals, Tong Yao has a question. I'm not sure if I should speak it or not."

Lu Zhenting, the Central Army Defender of the Xuanyuan Army, said expressionlessly, "If you can't figure it out yourself, don't bother others."

Tong Yao: "..."

In order to keep the opportunities they had obtained in the Xuanyuan Mansion, Yan Zhenzhen spoke up: "Five generals, when the five of us discovered this territory, we did not know it was the Xuanyuan Mansion. We were simply exploring it as an ordinary ruin."

"Ancient ruins can be explored by anyone, especially before they have been claimed by someone."

"As for the gains obtained in the ruins, they should belong to the individuals."

Lu Zhenting looked at her and said lightly, "As long as the Xuanyuan Army exists, the Xuanyuan Mansion has an owner." Exploring a claimed ruin is a provocation.

Yan Zhenzhen: "..."

Jing Liao said with a heavy expression, "The Xuanyuan Mansion is the Xuanyuan Mansion of the Central Continent. People of the Central Continent can all enter."

Lu Zhenting's expression remained indifferent: "You can enter, but you cannot take any items from the Xuanyuan Mansion."

Hua Liulang saw that Tong Yao and the other two had all been defeated, and he wanted to help, but he didn't know what to say. He moved his mouth and then closed it.

The Spirit Platform realm cultivators from the sacred lands, including Grand Elder Yiming, watched as Central Army Defender Lu Zhenting of the Xuanyuan Army silenced Tong Yao and the other two with his words, leaving them with no counterargument. Their faces all showed speechlessness.

Still too honest!

Hua Changxi also felt that Tong Yao and the other two had been led by the nose the whole time. She had to speak up: "Five generals, when faced with the benefactors who helped you find your home, shouldn't you show some gratitude?"

The five Xuanyuan generals: "..."

Hua Changxi continued: "If it weren't for us entering the Xuanyuan Mansion by chance, you would probably still be in seclusion, wouldn't you?"

The five Xuanyuan generals exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We, on behalf of the Xuanyuan Army, thank the five young friends."

Hua Changxi and her four companions: "..." Truly able to bend and stretch!

Hua Changxi: "Verbal thanks are too light. We cannot feel your sincerity."

The five Xuanyuan generals: "..."

Wei Zhenjie watched with a smiling expression.

Hua Changxi looked at the five Xuanyuan generals and softened her tone: "Five generals, you arrived too quickly and even attacked the Xuanyuan Mansion, causing us to be thrown out before we could explore it."

"As for us, although we have gained some things, they are very insignificant. Consider these items as a thank-you gift for helping you find the Xuanyuan Mansion."

The five Xuanyuan generals exchanged glances again, communicating through telepathy.

Finally, Lu Zhenting spoke: "Items marked with the Xuanyuan Mansion cannot be allowed to circulate outside. You don't have to hand over the items, but you must join the Xuanyuan Army and become a member of the Xuanyuan Army."

Hearing this, before Hua Changxi and her four companions could react, the previously silent Grand Elder Yiming and the others objected.

Grand Elder Yiming looked at Lu Zhenting: "General, these five are people from the four sacred lands. Poaching them right in front of us—isn't that too inappropriate?"

Lu Zhenting looked at him: "We don't want it to be like this either." He paused, then looked at Hua Changxi and her four companions. "Don't be too anxious, everyone. The choice still lies in the hands of these five people."

After hearing this, Hua Changxi glanced at Wei Zhenjie, hoping he would give her a hint.

Wei Zhenjie gave her a bright smile.

Hua Changxi felt he was a bit gloating; after thinking it over, she looked at Tong Yao and the other three and whispered her guess: "It should be because of the Xuanyuan Order."

Even though she was very quiet, the lowest cultivation level among those present was the Core Formation stage, so they all heard her words clearly.

Xuanyuan Order!!!

Upon hearing those three words, many people on the scene changed their expressions.

Grand Elder Yiming was speechless—how could she whisper in such a setting? Why not use sound transmission!

Tong Yao had also guessed it and transmitted to Hua Changxi and the other three: "The Xuanyuan Order should allow entry and exit through the Xuanyuan Mansion barrier. Those five Xuanyuan generals won't let this go. It seems we won't be able to keep our gains this time."

Hearing this, Hua Liulang was nearly in tears.

Yan Zhenzhen and Jing Le also looked unwilling and resentful.

Hua Changxi was relatively fine, only reminding them: "Remember, what the five generals said was that we cannot take away anything marked with 'Xuanyuan Mansion.'"

After hearing this, Tong Yao and the other three's expressions improved slightly. At least they could still keep the Xuanhuang Fruit; otherwise, all their efforts this time would have been in vain.

The others watching them: "..." Was there anything else in the Xuanyuan Mansion?

The five Xuanyuan generals looked at each other again.

"They definitely obtained the Xuanhuang Fruit."

"Let the Xuanhuang Fruit go—this is their fortune."

Seeing that Grand Elder Yiming and the others hadn't spoken up for them, Hua Liulang began pulling out items with a grimace: damaged armor, weapon fragments, broken books, countless Xuanyuan Orders...

Tong Yao took out items similar to Hua Liulang's, but the quantity was less than half of Hua Liulang's.

Seeing that the two had gathered so many things, Grand Elder Yiming was so pained his breathing became labored.

After that, Jing Le took out fragments of the plaques for 'Xuanyuan Mansion' and 'Xuanyuan Hall.'

Yan Zhenzhen also produced several hundred Xuanyuan Orders, along with some broken stone pillars and jade slabs, on which residual formation patterns were clearly visible.

Perfect—the items Tong Yao and the other three took all matched their respective areas of study.

Only Hua Changxi had yet to make any move.

Everyone turned their gazes toward her.

Bearing everyone's burning stares, Hua Changxi produced a single Xuanyuan Order and, afraid they wouldn't believe her, declared loudly: "I swear, this is the only thing I took that bears the Xuanyuan Mansion mark."

The five Xuanyuan generals and everyone else: "..."

The cultivator in purple who had pressured Hua Changxi earlier suddenly spoke: "According to ancient records, a Xuanhuang Tree grows in the Xuanyuan Mansion. The other four young friends sought opportunities that interested them. I imagine Miss Hua did the same?"

Hua Changxi came from the Alchemy Saint Hall and was an alchemist. What interested her were naturally heavenly spiritual herbs. The Xuanhuang Fruit was a supreme treasure for body refinement—encountering it, she would never let it go.

Hearing the words 'Xuanhuang Fruit,' all the Soul Terrace cultivators present tightened their breath.

Hua Changxi frowned at the cultivator in purple and asked rudely: "And you are?"

Everyone: "..."

Wei Zhenjie's mouth twitched: "This is the imperial clan elder, Fellow Daoist Chu Tianxun."

Hua Changxi gave an 'oh,' withdrew her gaze, and ignored him further, as if she had merely asked casually.

Seeing this, Chu Tianxun's face darkened abruptly.

The others: "..."

Hua Dalang's eyelids twitched wildly.

Wei Zhenjie raised a hand and rubbed his temples.

The five Xuanyuan generals raised their brows, waved their hands, and collected all the items Hua Changxi and the other four had brought out.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi breathed a sigh of relief internally, knowing that the five Xuanyuan generals did not intend to pursue the matter further.

She should also leave quickly.

Sensing some malicious gazes, Hua Changxi glanced at Hua Liulang, Tong Yao, and the other two, then looked at the group of Soul Terrace cultivators hovering in midair. After scanning them one by one, she suddenly called out loudly: "All seniors~"

The crowd's attention was drawn by her shout, and the next moment, they saw a streak of red spiritual light shoot out with a 'swish'—and Hua Changxi's figure disappeared from their sight before their very eyes.

"I'll take my leave now!"

The voice arrived, but the person had vanished without a trace.

"This cloud-soaring technique is quite fast." The person was also clever enough to know he was being watched.

Wei Zhenjie watched Hua Changxi slip away with a smile, but in the next moment, his expression changed.

A Spirit Platform cultivator made a move against Hua Changxi!

"Please, five generals, make your move!"
