Eavesdropping on Hearts, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword to Chop Dingguang Immortal at the Start

"A joke, Senior Brother Nanji, you're not going to be a sore loser, are you?"

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, looking disdainfully at Immortal Elder Nanji, and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, this humble Taoist can naturally afford to lose. It's just that Junior Brother Li Xiao, you need to give us a reasonable explanation today. Otherwise... you might have a hard time leaving Zhongnan Mountain today!"

Immortal Elder Nanji said in a deep voice.

At the same time, Yunzhongzi flipped his hand, and a fan appeared. It was one of Yunzhongzi's many replicas that had been quite successful: the Seven-Bird Five-Fire Fan.

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, looking at the two with a smile, and grinned, "What? Do you two Daoist friends want to make a move?"

"Hmph!"

Immortal Elder Nanji and Yunzhongzi both let out heavy snorts and remained silent.

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Two Daoist friends, come on. This humble Taoist also wants to stretch his muscles and see what the Heavenly Origin Sect's divine abilities are like!"

"Hmph, Senior Brother Li Xiao, since you're looking for death, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Yunzhongzi was furious. He grabbed the Seven-Bird Five-Fire Fan and gave it a fierce wave.

In an instant, raging flames roared and surged out...

Chapter 53: The mission failed, and I even picked up a dragon girl?

Li Xiao saw this and couldn't help but raise his delicate eyebrows. He flipped his hand, and the Heavy Water Bead appeared. He flicked his wrist and threw it. A flash of blue light, accompanied by a loud "crash," saw the Heavy Water Bead transform into a vast river that roared and surged towards Yunzhongzi.

Instantly, water and fire clashed, blue light and crimson rays erupted.

But soon, the blue light overpowered the crimson rays!

The great river formed by the Heavy Water Bead, like a water dragon, roared and slammed into Yunzhongzi.

Caught off guard, Yunzhongzi was sent tumbling backward, falling an unknown number of miles and collapsing countless mountains.

This was the result of the suppression of spiritual treasures!

The Seven-Bird Five-Fire Fan was indeed a rare treasure!

But compared to a supreme treasure like the Heavy Water Bead, it was far inferior!

Therefore, Yunzhongzi was sent flying by Li Xiao in just one exchange.

"Junior Brother Yunzhongzi..."

Immortal Elder Nanji was greatly alarmed. He clearly hadn't expected Li Xiao to possess such a supreme treasure as the Heavy Water Bead. In his rage, he grabbed the Coiled Dragon Staff in his hand and smashed it at Li Xiao.

His strike was no ordinary blow!

The dragon head at the end of his staff seemed to come alive, roaring and snarling, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

A phantom of a green dragon roared and flew towards Li Xiao.

It turned out that Immortal Elder Nanji's Coiled Dragon Staff contained a sealed ancient dragon soul.

Seeing the dragon soul flying towards him, Li Xiao did not panic. He reached out and tapped his forehead, and a cloud of auspicious light emerged from behind his head.

Within the auspicious cloud, thirty-six pale blue beads floated – the thirty-six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls!

The Sea-Calming Divine Pearls emitted a dazzling blue light. With a flash of blue light, they actually absorbed the dragon soul.

"My dragon soul..."

Immortal Elder Nanji was in a panic and cried out in alarm.

"Take this move, Sea-Calming Divine Pearls!"

Li Xiao shouted, pointing at Immortal Elder Nanji. The thirty-six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls roared and flew out, directly smashing towards Immortal Elder Nanji.

Immortal Elder Nanji was startled. He hurriedly stretched out his large hand, tore open the void, and dived in.

But he was still a step too late; one of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls followed him in.

"Ah..."

A scream came from the void, belonging to Immortal Elder Nanji.

"Tch, is that all?"

Li Xiao spat on the ground with disdain. He beckoned the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls back and was about to leave when he saw a jade slip not far away.

Li Xiao casually summoned it, and the jade slip flew into his hand.

Then, Li Xiao submerged his divine sense into it. It displayed the forging method for an immortal sword!

Yunzhongzi had given this immortal sword a domineering name: the Heavenly Emperor Sword!

Finally, there were some notes stating that the Heavenly Emperor Sword was a treasure of destiny, and the most suitable forging material would be the Heavenly Emperor's throne.

"Uh? This fellow Yunzhongzi is truly a refining fanatic..."

Li Xiao grinned, paid no mind to it, and casually put away the jade slip. Then, he transformed into a stream of light and fled towards Penglai Immortal Island in the East Sea.

After Li Xiao returned to the Three Immortal Islands, he buried himself in studying the Jade Purity Artifact Refining Manual.

"Immortal Master Li Xiao, are you on the island?"

One day, as Li Xiao was studying the Jade Purity Artifact Refining Manual, a voice, ancient and hoarse, suddenly sounded from outside the immortal island.

Li Xiao woke up with a slight start. "My goodness, the old dragon's come to collect his debt!" he exclaimed.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Xiao got up and headed outside.

As he walked, Li Xiao mused to himself, This vast Penglai Immortal Island is so empty with just me. It feels rather lifeless.

Besides, if someone visits, I have to personally greet them. What a hassle!

Look at how impressive Tongtian Cult Master is. At the very least, Empress Nuwa has someone to give orders to, Fairy Jin Feng.

Li Xiao secretly made up his mind. I need to get a maid. Yes, a beautiful maid!

When he reached the outside of the immortal island, Li Xiao saw the aged Candle Dragon. The Candle Dragon looked even older now, frail and decrepit, as if a gust of wind would be enough to kill him.

Clearly, the Candle Dragon had been suffering greatly from the karma of the Heavenly Dao during this period!

"Ah, it's Senior Candle Dragon. This junior has failed to welcome you properly! Please, Senior!"

Li Xiao greeted him with a smile, cupping his hands.

"Esteemed Immortal, please!"

Candle Dragon replied hastily.

The two entered Penglai Immortal Island and took their seats as host and guest.

Li Xiao looked at Candle Dragon and asked, feigning ignorance, "Senior Candle Dragon, may I ask what brings you to seek this humble Taoist?"

What brings me? You really forgot, you bastard! All twelve of my Dragon Clan's Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were wasted... Hearing this, Candle Dragon's old face twitched fiercely. He looked at Li Xiao with a miserable expression and said, "Esteemed Immortal, last time you took my Dragon Clan's Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, you promised to arrange a great merit for us. Do... do you remember?"

As he spoke, Candle Dragon deliberately emphasized the words "Sea-Calming Divine Pearls."

Li Xiao slapped his forehead and grinned at Candle Dragon. "Senior, rest assured, this humble Taoist already has a plan. It's just... it will take some time!"

Candle Dragon's old face twitched fiercely once more. He looked at Li Xiao and asked, "Esteemed Immortal, how much longer will it take?"

"Hmm, it should be soon. Don't worry, this humble Taoist guarantees Senior won't perish!"

Li Xiao said with a smile.

Candle Dragon looked at Li Xiao as if he had just swallowed a fly, speechless. He said with a bitter smile, "Esteemed Immortal, old dragon here begs you, please save the Dragon Clan..."

As he spoke, Candle Dragon stood up and, trembling, cupped his hands towards Li Xiao.

Seeing Candle Dragon's frail state, Li Xiao felt a pang of sympathy. He quickly supported Candle Dragon and patted his chest, solemnly vowing, "Senior, please be at ease. This humble Taoist guarantees it in the name of... my master, Sage Tongtian. I will absolutely not speak idly, but the time is truly not right yet..."

In Biyou Palace, Tongtian Cult Master sneezed inexplicably and muttered, "Which bastard is thinking of this humble Taoist?"

Just then, Yunxiao arrived at the Three Immortal Island.

Alas, the Dragon Clan is truly pitiful. But there's nothing to be done. The Dragon Clan's only way to prolong their lives is after the third Human Emperor, Xuanyuan Clan, appears. They will become a totem and absorb the luck of the human race, thus ensuring their own luck is endless and everlasting. This is the only way to long-term offset their karma...

At this moment, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's thoughts.

"Human Emperor?"

Yunxiao was slightly taken aback but quickly understood.

Candle Dragon stood up and cupped his hands towards Li Xiao. "Esteemed Immortal, the Dragon Clan will be entrusted to you..."

"Mm, Senior, rest assured! Leave it to me!"

Li Xiao clasped his hands towards Candle Dragon.

Candle Dragon appeared extremely grateful.

Li Xiao grinned and sighed, "Senior Candle Dragon, my abode is too desolate. There isn't even anyone to pour tea. I won't keep you any longer!"

Having survived since the Dragon-Phoenix Era, Candle Dragon was a seasoned old dragon. He immediately understood Li Xiao's meaning.

Candle Dragon quickly said, "Esteemed Immortal need not worry. I have a great-granddaughter who is extremely beautiful. I'll have her come serve Esteemed Immortal tea..."

"Isn't that... a bit inappropriate?"

Li Xiao looked troubled.

But his ears clearly twitched when he heard the word "beautiful."

"It's nothing, nothing!"

Candle Dragon waved his hands and cupped his hands towards Li Xiao. "Well then, Esteemed Immortal, this old dragon shall take his leave!"

"Farewell, Senior!"

Li Xiao clasped his hands towards Candle Dragon.

Candle Dragon nodded. As he passed Yunxiao, he gave her a slight nod as a greeting. Then, he transformed into a stream of light and left Penglai Immortal Island, returning to the Dragon Palace.

Chapter 54: Plucking the Dao Ancestor's Beard?

"Junior Sister Yunxiao, what brings you here?"

Li Xiao looked up at Yunxiao and asked.

Naturally, I'm here to eavesdrop on your thoughts and see if you've made any new discoveries... Yunxiao grinned and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, what? Can't I visit Fifth Senior Brother if I have nothing else to do?"
