Chapter 566: Well Said

Following the direction Long Feng pointed, Song Qingming looked closely and discovered that in a cave about ten miles away from the few, several strange figures were fighting with something in the cave.

Huo Feng took a careful look at the cave and suddenly said to Song Qingming and the two behind her, "We'll go around from the side, don't alarm them!"

Since entering the fourth level, although they occasionally saw a few cultivators along the way, basically Huo Feng ignored the other party and just hurried on her way. This was the first time Song Qingming saw her look so cautious after seeing other cultivators, so he couldn't help but feel somewhat confused.

Although it was somewhat far away, Song Qingming couldn't see clearly who was in the cave, but being able to make Huo Feng take the initiative to choose to take a detour, the other party was very likely also a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming was also somewhat nervous. After looking at each other with Long Feng, both of them closed their mouths and didn't dare to say anything, carefully following Huo Feng to go around from the side.

Not long after Song Qingming and the others left, the battle in the cave below also ended quickly, and three people with different clothes walked out of the cave one after another.

These three were an old man with white hair but still a ruddy face, a young man with a relatively delicate appearance wearing a green robe, and the last one was a middle-aged Confucian scholar holding a paper fan and shaking it constantly.

After the white-haired old man walked out of the cave, he immediately took out two pitch-black spiritual fruits and said to the other two with a smile:

"Fellow Daoists, these Black Rock Fruits are only two. The three of us have no way to distribute them equally, so let's follow the old rules. Whoever doesn't want the spiritual fruits, we will compensate him with some other spiritual items!"

The white-haired old man who spoke had a cultivation base that had already reached the ninth layer of Jin Dan. The pressure on this person was no less than that of Yao Qianshu, the sect master of the Xiaoyao Sect, whom Song Qingming had seen back then, and he was also a person who had already tried to break through to Nascent Soul.

"If it weren't for your face just now, I wouldn't have agreed to bring him to this place. If he doesn't agree, I don't mind having one less person to share things with us next!"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar, although his cultivation base was lower, only at the seventh layer of Jin Dan, always had a high-and-mighty attitude when speaking and was not too polite to the white-haired old man because his cultivation base was lower than the white-haired old man's.

Hearing the middle-aged Confucian scholar refuting his words, the white-haired old man didn't show any unhappy expression but turned his gaze to the green-robed youth who was standing on the side and hadn't spoken yet.

As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, the middle-aged Confucian scholar on the side immediately refuted the other party's idea seriously, and then said his own idea of distributing spiritual items that he had already thought of.

Seeing that the other party didn't take him seriously at all, the middle-aged Confucian scholar showed a trace of anger on his face and turned to the white-haired old man on the side, "Feng Laogui Xu, what do you mean? Don't tell me you want to help him deal with me together!"

"Hmph! Feng Laogui Xu, are you getting more confused as you get older? Why do you need to ask him about this matter? Fellow Daoist Feng only has the cultivation base of the sixth layer of Jin Dan. Being able to follow us to this place can already be considered his great luck."

"Then Fellow Daoist Feng, do you have any other opinions?"

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Xu, these words of yours are somewhat wrong. Clearly, the two of us contributed the most just now, so the spiritual fruits are naturally things for you and me. Of course, it is also appropriate for us to compensate Fellow Daoist Feng with some spiritual items for helping a little bit."

"Haha...! Fellow Daoist Feng! I didn't hear wrong just now, did I? Your meaning is to kick me out first?" The middle-aged Confucian scholar laughed loudly with disbelief and asked the other party again.

The green-robed youth didn't speak directly but just narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party tightly. The somewhat provocative expression on his face had already given the other party the answer they wanted.

The green-robed youth, who hadn't had a chance to speak just now, didn't have much reaction to the middle-aged Confucian scholar's words. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth unhurriedly:

"Fellow Daoist Han's words are well said. I also agree with his idea. It is indeed too many for three people to share things. One less person might be better, and it can also save us a lot of troublesome things next."

As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, the middle-aged Confucian scholar, who had been acting as a good person just now, immediately became unhappy and tore off his mask on the spot, and he was no longer polite to the green-robed youth in his words.

Hearing the green-robed youth agree with his idea earlier, the middle-aged Confucian scholar thought the other party had already yielded to him, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face. But the other party's next words quickly made the smile on his face freeze instantly.

"Uh! Hehe... Little Brother Han, you misunderstood. I and this Fellow Daoist Feng are just like you, we only met not long ago. I don't want to intervene in the matters between you two. You two can do whatever you want."

After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he put away the black spiritual fruits in his hand with a smile, turned around and retreated to the side quietly, taking the initiative to give them space.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar had already cultivated to the late-stage Jin Dan for many years, and his strength was not weak among late-stage Jin Dan cultivators. Except for people like the white-haired old man whose cultivation base had already reached the peak of Jin Dan, the middle-aged Confucian scholar rarely took other Jin Dan cultivators seriously on weekdays.

And the green-robed youth's cultivation base had only just broken through to the sixth layer of Jin Dan not long ago. In the previous few battles, his performance had nothing special. In the eyes of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, this person could be said to be impossible to be his opponent at all.

Just now, hearing the green-robed youth provoke him so confidently, he thought he was relying on his unusual relationship with the white-haired old man. Seeing that the white-haired old man had already expressed his stance not to intervene and took the initiative to leave, the middle-aged Confucian scholar immediately relaxed and turned to look at the other party with a light smile.

"Fellow Daoist! If you regret it now and take the initiative to apologize to me, I can look at the fact that we traveled together and not care about what you just said, letting you leave here."

"Oh! Let me apologize? I'm afraid you might not have this qualification yet." The green-robed youth still had a disdainful look.

"Brat, if you don't want the chance, then you can only blame your own bad luck!" As soon as the middle-aged Confucian scholar finished speaking, a third-tier top-quality flying sword that was very rare had already appeared in his hand, and he charged toward the green-robed youth with a proud face.

After the time of an incense stick, the ground, which had been very calm just now, was already a mess, with traces of fighting everywhere.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar, who was already lying on the ground and dying, looked at the green-robed youth walking toward him step by step with a face full of shock and asked in horror, "Who... who exactly are you."

"Hehe! Who am I? Even I have almost forgotten. You don't need to know these things. Go on your way!"

"Fellow Daoist... Fellow Daoist Feng, I was wrong. I apologize to you, please spare me!"

Facing the middle-aged Confucian scholar's plea for mercy, the green-robed youth was always expressionless and didn't pay attention to the other party at all. The flying sword in his hand still flew rapidly toward the front.

Following a scream at the scene, there was no sound from the middle-aged Confucian scholar's side anymore.

The green-robed youth stepped forward to collect the few magic treasures that had fallen to the ground, rolled away the storage magic treasure on his waist, and then left the original place directly and walked toward the white-haired old man standing not far away.

Because of the fight for spiritual items, the fierce battle that took place at the scene was all taken into the eyes of the white-haired old man on the side, and he was also slightly surprised by some of the green-robed cultivator's means.

He neither opened his mouth to speak to either of the two, nor did he take action to help either of them. Even when the green-robed youth directly killed the middle-aged Confucian scholar, the white-haired old man didn't make any reaction, nor did he stop the other party's behavior, as if these two people had nothing to do with him at all.

Seeing that green-robed youth walk over, the white-haired old man handed him one of the black spiritual fruits they had just fought for.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, since you have already won, then this item should be yours. Hehe, having one less person to share things with indeed saved a lot of trouble, and even the old man followed you and took a little advantage."

Hearing the other party's light laugh, the green-robed man took the spiritual fruit with a calm face and put it into his storage magic treasure, then said to the white-haired old man, "I have already solved this trouble. Have you considered it clearly? Do you want to go up with me?"

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Feng, I heard before that this seventh level doesn't have the cultivation base of Nascent Soul, and it's also difficult to move an inch after entering. Are you sure that after the two of us go in, we have the ability to find good things inside?"

The green-robed man heard this and showed a trace of unhappiness on his face, "I have already taken action to solve this trouble, could it be that Your Excellency still doesn't believe my words and wants to retreat?"

"Hehe! If I didn't believe Brother Feng's words, I wouldn't have followed you to this place. But this Heaven-Reaching Tower is more powerful level by level. I am also somewhat worried about encountering any danger after going up, and I will be unprepared, so I asked you in advance!" The white-haired old man saw that the green-robed person's tone was somewhat unhappy and hurriedly explained.

The green-robed person stared at the white-haired old man for a long time before slowly revealing a somewhat eerie smile and replying, "Don't worry! There won't be any major danger on the level above. The rumors you heard are just those Nascent Soul sects deliberately spreading them so that not too many people go up to fight for spiritual items!

Those Nascent Soul old monsters who have already entered should have all gone to the eighth level by now. If we go up now, we shouldn't run into them, and it will be safer than staying here."

"Oh! So that's how it is. When I first entered this Heaven-Reaching Tower, I had just formed a core, so I could only mix in the levels below. I really don't know much about the situation inside. Fortunately, I can have an old friend like Brother Feng to accompany me this time, which has indeed saved us a lot of trouble."
