Chapter 366
Hearing Li Hao's inquiry, Ren Qianqian's expression changed slightly, somewhat hesitant, and she said in a low voice: "Old Feng has left."
"Left?"
Li Hao was stunned and asked immediately: "Was there any urgent matter? Where did he go?"
"Old Feng didn't say."
Ren Qianqian shook her head slightly, glanced at Li Hao, thought for a while, and still told what she had seen.
In her view, this was Li Hao's private matter. She only needed to honestly tell Li Hao what she had seen, and let this Young Master judge for himself.
After listening to Ren Qianqian's words, Li Hao's expression became ugly.
As she said, when he entered the Mo River, Li Tiangang came to Tianmen Pass and had a quarrel with his incarnation. Old Feng went to meet the battle, and later he never saw Old Feng return.
He also did not hear Old Feng transmit a message to tell her that he was leaving.
It was like a departure without saying goodbye.
Afterward, Li Muqiu came over and told Ren Qianqian that Old Feng had left because of something and asked her to guard Tianmen Pass well for Li Hao.
Although it was only Ren Qianqian's oral account, with Li Hao's understanding of that person, he could almost imagine what kind of conflict would break out at that time, and what kind of humiliation and embarrassment Old Feng would suffer.
Clearly, Old Feng was forced away.
Li Hao only felt a surge of anger in his heart. He took a deep breath, and soon, he felt that something was wrong in his heart.
With Old Feng's temper and strength, Li Tiangang could not do anything to him. Even if Li Tiangang was the Li Clan's True Dragon and could fight across realms, Old Feng was stronger than the ordinary Reverse Fate Realm, and his movement technique was peerless. If they really fought, Li Tiangang could not even touch his shadow.
Relying on force could not deter Old Feng.
It could only be words.
And Old Feng's temper was light and breezy, and there were not many things he valued. Insults and mockery did not work on him.
To be able to force him away with words, unless something truly stinging was said.
Thinking of this, Li Hao felt a stinging sensation in his heart. Anger burned in his eyes, but it was suppressed and turned into sharp cold light.
"When Old Feng left, didn't he bid farewell to you?"
Li Hao asked Ren Qianqian.
Ren Qianqian nodded.
Li Hao's brow furrowed slightly, and he felt vaguely that something was wrong. With Old Feng's temper, even if he left, he would explain clearly.
Moreover, along the way, Ren Qianqian followed, and Old Feng was also relatively fond of this little girl, so he would not leave without saying hello.
Unless he left in a hurry.
Or, he was truly hurt by that person's words. With that person's temper and Old Feng's status, he would definitely seize this point to attack, and being able to force Old Feng to submit and leave without saying goodbye could only be related to himself.
Was he trying to completely sever ties with himself, not wanting his reputation to implicate himself?
Li Hao's gaze flickered. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. There were not many things that could threaten Old Feng, but he had actually become Old Feng's weakness, causing the old man who had protected him all the way from Qingzhou to leave in sorrow.
But Old Feng should know that he didn't care about reputation at all.
"Old Feng, where exactly did you go..."
Li Hao muttered to himself, looking at the city outside the courtyard. The old man who had built this city with him eventually left in sorrow when the city was prosperous. How sad must his mood have been?
"Young Master, can we find Old Feng?"
Ren Qianqian heard Li Hao's words and could not help but ask.
She still didn't know Old Feng's identity, but she liked that old man very much. That old master who never had any senior deterrent shelf was easygoing and indifferent, making people feel very comfortable getting along with him.
Li Hao fell into silence.
If Old Feng wanted to hide, who could find him?
This world was vast, and with Old Feng's movement technique and experience, he had been wanted for all these years and had not been found. Old Feng even took many wanted posters from various cities and showed them to Li Hao to complain, and the posters were far from him.
Once, while fishing, Old Feng even let Li Hao draw a wanted poster for him personally, and he took it overnight to a city that wanted him, tore down the original wanted poster, and replaced it with the one Li Hao drew for him, criticizing that the wanted poster was drawn too roughly, making the hired painter look too low-level and unworthy of his status.
At that time, these words also made Li Muqiu and Li Hao dumbfounded.
Li Hao let him be. The drawing was not vague at all, but afterward, that wanted poster was taken a fancy to by a painter because of its exquisite painting skills, who bought it for observation, and replaced it with the original wanted poster. Old Feng told this story to Li Hao and Li Muqiu while fishing, making the two of them unable to help but laugh out loud.
But now, everything seemed very far away. That period of leisure and quiet time seemed to never be able to go back.
"Unless Old Feng is willing to come out himself, no one can find him."
Li Hao slowly shook his head and said to Ren Qianqian: "Turn back and invite the Liangzhou Commander to come over."
Ren Qianqian heard Li Hao's words and could not help but feel somewhat sad, lowering her head and promising.
Li Hao planned to borrow the power of Liangzhou to spread the news, informing Old Feng that he had returned to Tianmen Pass.
He just didn't know if Old Feng would be willing to come back to see him once he learned the news.
Thinking of this, Li Hao entered the small courtyard and saw the familiar furnishings inside, which had not changed much. He took paper, pens, and other things and quickly drew wanted posters of portraits. If Old Feng saw these paintings, he would definitely know that he was looking for him...
Thinking that he had to look for Old Feng in the way of a wanted poster, Li Hao felt both funny and sad. If that old master could see this wanted poster, he should also remember the past times. Next, Li Hao called another Grandmaster Realm general over to go to Youzhou to pass a message for him, asking the Xia family to help him find Old Feng and spread the news.
The young man back then was still too weak to protect him, but now, Li Hao did not want Old Feng to suffer any more grievances.
Time flew by.
Cangya City held a banquet for Li Hao's return, and the whole city was plunged into days of cheers.
And the news of Li Hao's return to Cangya City was also learned by the demons of the Tianji Palace watching outside Cangya City. The cheers of the whole city could not be covered, and this news spread quickly through the Tianji Palace.
And the thousands of miles of land extending from Tianmen Pass outside the city, which had been cleared by Li Hao earlier, had also been secretly returned to by demons during this period to take root. After all, the original cave treasures could increase cultivation speed, so they were reluctant to give them up easily.
But now, with the news of the Tianji Palace spreading, these demons all knew that the young man had returned, returned to Tianmen Pass.
In just a few days, the demons within thousands of miles outside the city were all so scared that they moved and hid overnight, for fear that the young man would go out of the pass again and clean it up.
This situation made the bird demons of the Tianji Palace who had always been responsible for Tianmen Pass feel complicated. The young man only returned to Cangya City, and he deterred the demons for thousands of miles outside the pass, not daring to land. This was the terrifying power of that young man.
And two years ago, that young man first entered the pass.
The growth in just two years was beyond imagination, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was shocking.
Not long after Li Hao returned to the pass, the Xia family learned the news. Xia Yuanwu personally rushed over, climbed this pass, and thanked Li Hao solemnly.
Back then, when pacifying the rebellion in Youzhou, Li Hao bid farewell in a hurry and rushed to Qingzhou. They also did not have time to bid farewell properly. The Xia family naturally did not dare to let this matter pass so easily. Their gratitude to Li Hao was from the heart.
For this old master of the Xia family, Li Hao invited him to sit in the courtyard. Regarding the Xia family's thanks, Li Hao expressed that it was already in the past, just a small matter, not worth mentioning.
Seeing the young man's light and breezy appearance, Xia Yuanwu felt embarrassed instead, and immediately invited Li Hao to go to the Xia family.
They originally intended to ask Li Hao to take action and give Li Hao a chick raised by that old lady. That was a Great Demon of the Three Imperishable Realms, but now, Li Hao's mount was already a demon king of the Four Standing Realms, and it was also the master of the Tai Xu Realm.
The previous "thin gift" seemed really thin.
Moreover, Li Hao took action to solve the disaster and slay the Master of the Gluttonous Valley, almost letting Youzhou escape from the dangerous situation with his own strength. If he was not thanked heavily, it was better not to thank him.
Among the demons raised by that old lady of the Xia family, there were also two demon kings, who had guarded the important places for the Xia family for many years and had also sold a lot of effort in times of crisis. This time Xia Yuanwu came, it was because he received the instructions of that old lady, and he could give one to Li Hao, letting Li Hao go to choose personally.
Giving a demon of the Four Standing Realms, and with the blood contract formulated by the Xia family's special secret method, it was very difficult to rebel, which was undoubtedly a great gift.
At this moment, Xia Yuanwu stated his words, but Li Hao shook his head and declined.
Ordinary demons of the Four Standing Realms were of little significance to him, and signing a blood contract was useless.
After all, with one thought, even a demon of the Taiping Dao Realm had no resistance before him.
Rather than keeping it by his side to eat, drink, and defecate, it was better to throw it in the Xia family. At least the Xia family guarded the four states and often went on expeditions, and could also pull that demon out to make contributions.
Seeing that Li Hao was unmoved, Xia Yuanwu smiled bitterly in secret. This was something that other Divine General Mansions had long coveted, but to the young man before him, it seemed to have no attraction.
He was in a dilemma. If he only said a few words of thanks and gratitude, it seemed to have no sincerity.
Li Hao saw that the other party was in a dilemma, thought for a while, and suddenly his heart moved. The Xia family was also a millennium Divine General Mansion, and the cultivation methods accumulated were not much inferior to the Li Clan. Compared to the tamed pets of the Demon King level, cultivation secret manuals were more valuable.
"Want to go see the Lingyuan Pavilion?"
Hearing Li Hao's words, Xia Yuanwu was stunned. That was the important place where the Xia family collected cultivation secret manuals, similar to the Tingyu Building of the Li Clan.
"If it is difficult, letting me see half of it is fine."
Li Hao said.
Xia Yuanwu's expression eased slightly. The Lingyuan Pavilion was one of the foundations of the Xia family. For a strong person like Li Hao, with a powerful divine soul, he could remember it at a glance. Although he could not cultivate all of them, for a large force, cultivation methods were the foundation of the pulse.
Just like a martial arts sect, cultivation methods were the core and the highest secret.
"If General Hao Tian watches it himself and promises never to spread it, the Lingyuan Pavilion can be fully opened to General Hao Tian, which is fine."
Xia Yuanwu said: "But this matter needs me to go back and report to the family head first, before I can give General Hao Tian an accurate answer."
Except for some cultivation methods that even the direct descendants of the Xia family might not be able to learn, the Lingyuan Pavilion collected 99% of the Xia family's cultivation methods.
For example, that old lady's taming demon unique skill was not collected in the Lingyuan Pavilion. That was a single pulse passed down, or only the True Dragon could cultivate it, and it was hidden in the Xia family's secret treasury, which was the true foundation of the family.
"Okay."
Li Hao nodded and agreed. He mainly borrowed these cultivation methods to deduce more perfect cultivation methods. Even if he taught the cultivation methods he deduced to Ren Qianqian or others, they were already quite different from the original cultivation methods, so it was not considered a leak.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xia Yuanwu set off to return to Youzhou immediately.
Liangzhou was not far from Youzhou. Two days later, Xia Yuanwu rushed to Liangzhou Tianmen Pass again and told Li Hao the Xia family's decision:
"The family head has agreed. General Hao Tian can go to the Lingyuan Pavilion at any time."
Li Hao laughed. He did not expect that the head of the Xia family really had such courage.
Immediately, he left some war flags at Tianmen Pass, and then took Ren Qianqian along to see the world. Since this little girl followed him to Tianmen Pass, she had been guarding that small courtyard, which was inevitably somewhat boring.
Candle Zhu Huoshen saw Ren Qianqian climb onto his back and was somewhat dissatisfied. He snorted. Li Hao touched Candle Zhu Huoshen's head lightly, and he could only accept it helplessly.
On the way, Li Hao discussed with Xia Yuanwu about asking their Xia family to help find Old Feng. Xia Yuanwu had also heard of Feng Feng Bo Ping early on, and while surprised, he expressed that he would try his best to help.
