Where's My House?
Shi Zhenghao never imagined that he had used the fastest speed achievable at his current level all the way, and had been constantly scanning his surroundings with his Divine Sense to prevent Yi Xuan from overtaking him from places he couldn't see.
Despite his extreme caution, Yi Xuan still arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect before him, and judging from the way he was drinking tea with his master, he had clearly been there for some time.
Yi Xuan poured a cup of tea, pointed, and gestured for Shi Zhenghao to come and sit down.
Sitting down, Shi Zhenghao looked at the teacup in front of him, on the verge of tears. He couldn't believe that he had lost to his junior brother again, and just like last time, he had lost in terms of speed.
Yi Xuan smiled and said to Xiao Anhe, "Master, I think I've exceeded expectations, haven't I? Not only did I bring my senior brother back, but I've also brought a Golden Core elder to the sect!"
Xiao Anhe was naturally very satisfied. If he had to say which of his disciples he felt most sorry for, it would definitely be Yi Xuan, since Yixuan's identity Rootless Person was still an unsolvable problem.
But if we're talking about the person who worries him the most, it has to be his senior brother Shi Zhenghao.
This senior disciple is outstanding among all his disciples in terms of both talent and Spirit Root. In addition, he is a descendant of an Aristocratic Clan specializing in formations. It can be said that with this identity, he is destined to reach the pinnacle of the cultivation Cultivation Realm in this lifetime.
Despite his Xiantian qualities, Shi Zhenghao's personality caused Xiao Anhe a lot of headaches. His unrestrained and womanizing nature caused countless setbacks on his path to cultivation, and Xiao Anhe had to clean up his messes countless times.
He thought that Supreme Elder Li's scheme to expel him from the sect would change him, but he never expected that Li Taishang had already discovered it was a trap and had even jumped into it willingly.
The result was obvious: Shi Zhenghao, who was expelled from the sect, became even more unrestrained. Even after leaving the sect for more than ten years, he only managed to raise his cultivation level from the Middle Stage of Grain Avoidance to the Grain Avoidance Perfection.
Xiao Anhe's previous instructions to Yi Xuan were merely casual remarks; he knew his eldest disciple's personality all too well. Given Yi Xuan's status, he posed no threat whatsoever unless Xiao Anhe personally went to capture him.
Yi Xuan had known his senior brother for so many years, and he had thought of everything that Xiao Anhe could think of.
This led to the scene in the cave where Yi Xuan used AI to synthesize Xiao Anhe and the video to provoke Shi Zhenghao.
Although the methods were a bit old-fashioned, the results were quite good; as a result, the senior brother who had broken through to the Golden Core Realm was now sitting in front of his master.
Sitting opposite Yi Xuan, Shi Zhenghao, as if to vent his anger, downed his tea in one gulp. He then looked around, seemingly noticing something, and said with a smile, "Junior brother, it's good to be rich! You even used Greater Teleportation Talisman for your senior brother's family heirloom array!"
Yi Xuan was taken aback by what he said, but then he realized what his senior brother meant. He thought that Yi Xuan had prepared Greater Teleportation Talisman in advance to lure him in because he hadn't seen Yi Xuan's Firmament.
After all, with just one Greater Teleportation Talisman, Yi Xuan could instantly travel from the starting point to the Azure Cloud Sect. However, that thing is a rare item in the Cultivation Realm; it's not something that money can buy.
At that moment, Yi Xuan saw Shi Zhenghao looking at Xiao Anhe with a playful expression, and then he understood why his senior brother thought that way.
You should know that when his senior brother was expelled from the sect, Yi Xuan's master gave him only a Greater Teleportation Talisman as a protective treasure. For more than ten years, no matter what danger he encountered, Shi Zhenghao never used it. It was only after the Golden Core True Person who was chasing him forced him into a desperate situation that Shi Zhenghao had no choice but to use this one and only Greater Teleportation Talisman.
His meaning is now quite clear: since Xiao Anhe was able to give him a Greater Teleportation Talisman back then, it would be reasonable for him to give Yi Xuan one as well. It was precisely with that Greater Teleportation Talisman that Yi Xuan won the match between the two of them.
Helpless, Yi Xuan waved towards the sky, and the Firmament instantly fell from the sky, its shadow completely obscuring the three of them.
However, Yi Xuan did not explain, because he couldn't confirm his senior brother's guess.
Moreover, Shi Zhenghao's guess was entirely reasonable. As long as Yi Xuan had a Greater Teleportation Talisman, he could put the Firmament into his Storage Bag, use the Greater Teleportation Talisman to return to the Azure Cloud Sect, and then take the Firmament out and order it to wait in the sky.
Once suspicion forms between individuals, it is difficult to eliminate, especially since the methods of cultivators are sometimes so unreasonable.
Yi Xuan could only look helplessly at his master. Xiao Anhe was about to speak up for Yi Xuan when he realized that he couldn't prove anything either.
So he could only try to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, we're all fellow disciples. Don't you know what your junior brother is like? Would he use such underhanded methods to beat you? And you call yourself Golden Core True Person!"
Shi Zhenghao understood, of course, that Yi Xuan couldn't possibly win the competition using the Greater Teleportation Talisman as he claimed. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with his family's secret array manual; after all, since their family's decline, the arrays in that manual seemed to have lost their power in the hands of his ancestor, and in the hands of several generations of disciples, the arrays within had only mediocre power.
It was just that Shi Zhenghao was somewhat unwilling. He couldn't believe that even though he had already advanced to the Golden Core, he had once again lost to his junior brother, who was Rootless Person, in terms of speed.
If the other party were also Golden Core cultivator, he could feel a little better. But the other party was a ten-thousand-year Qi Refining. Shi Zhenghao didn't dare to think about it any further, otherwise he would get angrier and angrier.
But this matter always needs a conclusion. Shi Zhenghao's eyes darted around, and he smiled as he looked at Yi Xuan, saying, "Junior brother, although you can't prove that your big bird is faster than your senior brother in terms of speed, how about we compare our attack power? I'll stand right here and not move an inch. If you can make me move even a fraction of an inch, I'll immediately hand over the array manual!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan glanced at the two missiles mounted below the Firmament, then looked at Shi Zhenghao with a pitiful expression, and could only nod with difficulty.
Sometimes, people really do get themselves into trouble if they don't act recklessly!
In Shi Zhenghao's understanding, Yi Xuan's strongest attack was the Barrett. At this point, he was already in the Late-stage Golden Core, and if prepared, even the Barrett wouldn't be able to make him move an inch.
Shi Zhenghao walked to the side and stood still, then took out his personal magical Law Artifact and nodded to Yi Xuan.
Seeing that his senior brother was determined to experience the power of the Firmament, Yi Xuan asked in a low voice, "Firmament! Are there still experimental missiles in the ammunition magazine? Replace the missiles with those when we attack!"
"Received!"
As Yi Xuan issued the order, a mechanical change occurred under the belly of the Firmament Dome. The two missiles were stored in the ammunition compartment, and two new missiles reappeared in their mounting positions below.
As Yi Xuan gave the attack order to the Firmament, the missile on the left side suddenly spewed out intense flames from its tail, then flew over Shi Zhenghao and headed towards another mountain peak.
After a violent explosion, a voice resounded throughout the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Where's my house? Who the hell did this?"
