Behind Xu Mingsheng, They Still Needed Senior Brother Li (1/3)

Just as Xu Changqing was channeling his Wood Spiritual Power into Li Sancai's Communication Talisman, a loud "crack" suddenly came from the other arena, as if something had broken.

Xu Changqing immediately broke off the call, and then he and Hu Bugui looked towards the arena. Their expressions immediately changed.

Zhao Ziyue used his sustained Water Spiritual Power to cast a water sphere around himself for defense during the battle, and just now, that loud bang was the sound of the water sphere breaking.

Without water spheres, you lose defense, damage reduction, and even speed.

Xu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lao Zhao, can you still hold on?"

Zhao Ziyue gritted his teeth and said, "I... I'm alright."

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

"Heh... you might as well admit defeat already. You're already countered by my Spirit Root, so you can only unleash half your full strength at best. Even if your spiritual power is long enough, how long can you last?" The male disciple with the Earth Spirit Root opposite him had a half-smile on his face.

While the advantage of Water Spirit Root is their sustained spiritual energy, allowing them to endure longer in battle, Earth Spirit Root are no less formidable, possessing equally enduring spiritual energy and even superior defense.

Zhao Ziyue's attacks barely scratched his opponent, while Zhao Ziyue himself was easily injured by the slightest touch, causing his blisters to burst. This was clearly not an evenly matched battle.

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

Suddenly, a loud "bang" came from the other side.

The people nearby were startled and hurriedly turned their heads to look. They saw a black flying shuttle landing on the open ground on the other side.

No, "falling" is a more appropriate word to describe it.

Immediately afterwards, a female cultivator staggered down from above.

"Han Xin?!"

Xu Changqing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went to greet him.

Han Xin raised the wine flask in her right hand and took a big gulp, then wiped the wine from her mouth and asked, "What's going on?"

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

He quickly recounted the entire incident.

Han Xin was stunned for a moment, then asked as if to confirm, "So, you've been selling barbecue all this time?"

Xu Changqing nodded, stating matter-of-factly, "It's perfectly reasonable for a farmer like me to sell barbecue!"

Han Xin looked at the arena with a helpless expression. She didn't recognize Zhao Ziyue, but she vaguely remembered the male disciple with the Earth Spirit Root on the other side, so she immediately walked over.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing followed closely behind.

"Old Xu, is it really okay for you to hire this drunkard?" Hu Bugui some impression of Han Xin, but it was mostly a bad one.

Xu Changqing didn't know how to answer this, so he could only clutch Li Sancai's Communication Talisman tightly in his hand.

Soon, Han Xin strolled down to the edge of the arena, then squinted and stared intently at the Earth Spirit Root male disciple for a while before exclaiming, "Isn't that Wang Xuan?"

"Senior Sister Han...?"

Originally, Wang Xuan, Earth Spirit Root, was plotting how to toy with Zhao Ziyue, but upon seeing that familiar face, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately became tense. "Why are you here!"

Han Xin clicked her tongue, then beckoned to the other person and shouted, "Get over here."

Wang Xuan's lips twitched several times. After thinking it over, he ran off the stage and asked rather humbly, "Senior Sister Han, so many people are watching, can't you give your junior brother some face?"

"Face?"

Upon hearing this, Han Xin curled her lip and retorted with considerable disdain, "Do you know they are all my friends?"

"Uh..." Wang Xuan's eyes widened immediately.

It's important to know that Han Xin is quite famous in the Earth Vein, not only because of her love of drinking, but also because of her exceptional talent in formations.

Therefore, all disciples with Earth Spirit Root within the Earth Vein respected her, which could also be interpreted as fearing her.

Han Xin pointed at Xu Changqing, then at Zhao Ziyue on the stage, and glared at him, shouting, "One is my friend, and the other is a friend of my friend. Are you sure you want to offend me?"

Wang Xuan turned pale with fright and stammered, "No... I... I just..."

Xu Changqing pressed on, "Who exactly is instigating you?"

Wang Xuan opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak, clearly not wanting to speak easily.

Han Xin sneered, "You're also a disciple with Earth Spirit Root from the Earth Vein, you know what the consequences will be if you offend me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with fear.

It should be noted that the people a disciple with Earth Spirit Root dares not offend the most are formation masters, mainly because formation masters hold a very unique position in the Immortal Sect.

Especially this woman in front of me, she's a complete madwoman. If you offend her, she'll definitely find an opportunity to get drunk and then go on a rampage.

The last person who offended Han Xin was berated and humiliated for seven days straight, a truly horrific ordeal that made them the butt of everyone's jokes.

If I were blocked at the door and cursed for seven days, that would be the least of my worries. The real problem is that I have offended a formation master. Just thinking about the days to come makes me shudder.

Han Xin shouted, "Speak!"

Wang Xuan shuddered in fright and could only helplessly say, "It's a guy from Farmer's Heart Society named Xu Mingsheng who asked me for help. He says that if I defeat Zhao Ziyue, I can get a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone."

"Farmer's Heart Society?" Han Xin frowned.

"Xu Mingsheng?" Xu Changqing recognized the name; he seemed to have heard it somewhere before.

At this moment, seeing that there was no need to fight anymore, Zhao Ziyue stepped down from the arena and came to the group's side. He then whispered to Hu Bugui, "What's the situation now?"

Hu Bugui his head, looking puzzled, and said, "So all this fighting ends up with our own people turning against each other!"

"I've said everything I needed to say, Senior Sister Han, please spare my life!" Wang Xuan said anxiously.

Han Xin ignored him and looked at Xu Changqing, saying seriously, "As one of the five major powers, Farmer's Heart Society holds Spirit Plant that everyone needs. I cannot afford to offend them."

Although she enjoys drinking and even more so when she's drunk, she's absolutely rational when she needs to be.

Offending Farmer's Heart Society for the sake of one person is clearly a losing proposition, and arguably not worth it at all.

Xu Changqing nodded slightly. "It's already a great honor that you came to help."

At least we now know who's behind this."

Han Xin pondered, "Li Lingbi and Lu Yuanyuan of Farmer's Heart Society have a good relationship. If you want to resolve this matter completely, I suggest you find Li Sancai."

He's Li Lingbi's cousin, essentially her proxy within the Immortal Sect; they should give him face.

Hu Bugui asked blankly, "Why not just go to Li Lingbi?"

It turned out that everyone was staring at him like he was an idiot.

Zhao Ziyue patted his shoulder. "Brother, even I know that 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 silly laugh to cover up his embarrassment.

Xu Changqing picked up the Communication Talisman he had prepared beforehand and sighed, "I never expected that I would still have to ask Senior Brother Li for help in the end!!!"
