Chapter 1699  A Just Cause

Taibai Tower is nine stories high and can be regarded as a golden sign in Wanzong City.

Today, in the lobby on the ground floor of Taibai Building, someone came to cause trouble...

Xiao Baitao just wanted to walk out of Taibai Tower, but the shopkeeper of Taibai Tower blocked the way - even though this shopkeeper was frail, he was also a golden elixir cultivator.

"Girl! Who asked you to come to my Taibai Building to cause trouble? If you tell the truth, I will let you go because you are young and ignorant!"

"Making trouble? Taibailou? You are young and ignorant?" Xiao Baitao didn't know what making trouble was at all. She just felt that the wine was unpleasant to drink, so she spit it out.

Come to think of it!

Although Taozi is boring in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, his food and clothing expenses are exactly the same as those of the Lord of the East China Sea, the Dark Dragon Emperor, and some things are even worse.

If you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and drinking jade liquid and fine wine, you will naturally not be able to drink the wine from Taibai Tower - not to mention that the spiritual wine in this wine vat is indeed not very good.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a large tank to be retailed here...

"Grandpa! I'm not young anymore - I'm sixty years old this year! Do you still want to let me go? Grandpa, how old are you? When will you die?"

"Damn it! Shuzi! You're going too far!"

The shopkeeper blew his beard and stared, wondering whose baby this was?

It's not worth your life to make people angry!

But at this moment, two or three low-level monks who looked like merchants walked into Taibai Tower, pointed at Xiao Baitao, and called out her previous behavior in public.

For a time, there were calls for crusade against Xiao Baitao...

"You... you! What are you talking about? Taozi doesn't even understand!" Xiao Baitao, who had never seen such a scene before, was so frightened that he hid by the wine tank. The shopkeeper of Taibai Tower was still careful, for fear of Xiao Baitao's origin. Bu Fan, then decided to make the big thing a trivial matter, and said to Xiao Baitao politely: "Girl! I don't think you look like a child who is short of food and clothing. Didn't anyone tell you that you need to spend spiritual stones to buy things?"

"Spiritual stone? I don't have a spiritual stone!" After saying this, Xiao Baitao patted his forehead in hindsight, stretched out his hand to touch the storage magic weapon on his wrist, took out a large handful of pearl coins and asked the shopkeeper: "Old Grandpa! Do you think this thing can be used?”

Pearl coins, a common currency in the world of cultivation, are equivalent to spiritual stones.

It’s just that after the strong men of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce blew up all the teleportation arrays like breaking their wrists, the trade routes of the Middle-earth Cultivation World and the Four Seas Cultivation World were also affected. Correspondingly, the exchange of pearl coins and spiritual stones was stranded and no longer possible. Universal.

But the bead coin itself contains a certain amount of spiritual energy and can replace the spiritual stone.

Looking at the handful of pearl coins that Xiao Baitao took out, they were of the highest quality in appearance and color. They were equivalent to top-grade spiritual stones, which could be said to be rare.

One pearl coin is enough to exchange for that jar of turbid wine...

Could it be that this child is really young, ignorant, and incomprehensible to accidents?

Just as the shopkeeper was thinking this, the vendors who had been patronized by Xiao Baitao before took the opportunity to step forward and took away a lot of pearl coins from Xiao Baitao's hands.

One bead coin is enough to buy their entire stall!

The shopkeeper of Taibai Building raised his gray eyebrows, slightly displeased.

This kind of behavior is tantamount to cheating, and the shopkeeper is quite disdainful.

But for today's matter, the shopkeeper just wanted to get over there as soon as possible, and didn't want to cause any further trouble. Looking at Xiao Baitao's appearance, he didn't look like someone who missed these few pearl coins.

I don’t think so, good things are destined to take a long time, and extraneous things will eventually lead to branches.

"Wait! Who told you to leave?" A shout spread from the stairs of Taibai Building. There was a person walking down the stairs step by step and came to Xiao Baitao. Looking at the deceitful and abducted people, he felt solemn and solemn. He yelled: "Those who know the truth, leave the extra pearls and coins to me; those who don't know the truth, I will keep you!"

"You! Who do you think you are, dare to interfere in our affairs?"

"Do you want to cause trouble in Taibai Building?"

"No more! No more! Let me go!"

The last person among the three dropped the bead coin, turned around and ran away - because he recognized the person who spoke, who was none other than the leader of the Jin Dan Competition - Fu Lei!

Soon, Fu Lei's name resounded throughout Taibai Tower.

The remaining two followed suit, dropped the coins and fled.

But he is the shopkeeper of Taibai Building, and he is in a dilemma. Before he could come up with a charter, someone else stood up from Taibai Tower to interfere.

"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Sister Fu!" Yu Xueyan, standing by the railing on the second floor, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai: "Did Sister Fu help the wrong person? Shouldn't this girl have to pay for the Overlord meal? Thunder God My daughter is indeed domineering!”

As soon as the four words "Thunder God's Daughter" came out, thunder and fire loomed in Fu Lei's eyes.

Fu Lei behaves very differently in front of her parents. Although she has a deep relationship with her father, Fu Xigui, she respects her mother, the God of Thunder.

In Fu Lei's mind, the God of Thunder is a god who can only be worshiped and cannot be blasphemed.

Yu Xueyan's gossip sounded like a sword made of wind and frost to Fu Lei's ears.

Suddenly raising his head, Fu Lei stared at Yu Xueyan.

"What? Do you still want to fight?"

"You! Fu Lei! Don't think that I, Yu Xueyan, am afraid of you?" Yu Xueyan just said this, and several monks surrounded her. Taking advantage of the strength of their numbers, they shouted at Fu Lei. Fu Lei didn't say anything. Without saying anything, he raised his hand and a fire and thunder sword attacked the second floor. Everyone's expression changed, but a curtain of water suddenly appeared, blocking Fu Lei's fire-thunder sword. It was Pu Mingyu who arrived late: "Ouch! Who is so angry? Everyone calm down! Calm down!" If we want to fight, let’s fight outside!”

"Fish demon! Are you going to fight against me too?"

"How could it be? We have fought before, and I am not as good as you!" Pu Mingyu admitted that he was not as skilled as others, but changed the subject: "It's just that this Taibai Tower is the property of my master. It's not good for you to fight here at will, right?"

Pu Mingyu's master is Bai Qiye, a top-level cultivator of the Nascent Soul.

As the strongest fighting force under Tianzun, he must give Bai Qiye some face!

"Okay! For the sake of Senior Bai, I won't fight in Taibai Tower. Yu Xueyan! The time is now! You choose the place - let's fight again!"

"..."

Yu Xueyan was in a dilemma.

But the few crazy bees and butterflies around Yu Xueyan were blindly advancing.

Soon, the news that Fu Lei and Yu Xueyan were going to fight for another 300 rounds spread like wildfire and spread to half of Wanzong City. Gradually, many people heard about it.

In the end, almost all the diners in Taibai Tower flocked there.

On the contrary, Xiao Baitao, the instigator, was stunned and didn't understand.

"Girl! You... you really don't know what trouble you have caused?" Seeing Xiao Baitao's confused face, the shopkeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You kid! Go home quickly! If Fu Lei loses, it's not a big deal; but if Yu Xueyan loses, I'm afraid she will turn her guns around and trouble you!"

"I don't have any conflicts with her, why does she trouble me?"

As she spoke, Xiao Baitao picked up the extremely fast pearl coin on the ground, thought about it, and put it on the counter in front of the shopkeeper.

"Grandpa! Taozi is ignorant. If she did something wrong, please don't take it to heart. Taozi apologizes to you!"

As she spoke, Xiao Baitao bowed and walked out of Taibai Tower.

She wanted to go and see the fight between Fu Lei and Yu Xueyan - to see who wins and who loses!

Seeing Xiao Baitao disappear, and looking at the pair of pearl coins on the counter, the shopkeeper shook his head and sighed dejectedly.

This girl is really ignorant of the matter...

Let's talk about the west of Wanzong City, ten miles away, there are many people gathered, and most of them are curious.

Because the nine-layer fighting arena is in the east of Wanzong City, Fu Lei and Yu Xueyan agreed to have another fight in the west of Wanzong City, for the sake of fighting for pride.

This news spread, and not all the people who came were crazy.

Park Mingyu has been following from Taibai Tower, and many people gathered in the middle, such as Li Xingyan, Jin Weilian, Ren Yimo, such as Ling Ruohan, Yuanjue, Mo Mei, and Hua Qingcheng who came from the Qin County cultivation world with Yu Xueyan.

The top ten of the Jindan competition actually gathered ten miles west of Wanzong City.

When they arrived at the place, Fu Lei was too lazy to talk nonsense and challenged Yu Xueyan directly.

Yu Xueyan is the contemporary goddess of Zhishan Sect after all. If she dares not to fight when challenged by name in public, it will be more embarrassing than losing.

Riding a tiger is difficult to get off, so she has to fight.

At that moment, Fu Lei and Yu Xueyan took up their positions and fought vigorously.

As soon as the two of them started fighting, Ling Ruohan from Ba Dao City, holding a single sword, pointed at Pu Mingyu from afar and challenged her - the reason was that Pu Mingyu had offended the beauty.

In the previous Jindan competition, Pu Mingyu defeated Yu Xueyan, and of course defeated Ling Ruohan. Ling Ruohan lost with one move and had been resentful.

This time, when he met Pu Mingyu, he brought up the old matter again and challenged her again.

Pu Mingyu came to watch the show, and he didn't want to be watched in public. However, Ling Ruohan was unmoved and killed Pu Mingyu with a sword without saying a word.

Bad luck!

With a secret hatred, Pu Mingyu was not a coward!

If I can defeat you once, I can defeat you a second time!

At that moment, the second battle group broke out, and the battle was more intense than the first one.

Those who watch the show are not afraid of the big stage, and those who are on the other side are not afraid of the strong fire.

Everyone cheered, and some people even instigated the other top ten Jindan to start fighting, in order to correct their reputation of being underestimated before.

Especially Hua Qingcheng, who was unlucky. She lost all nine battles without winning a single one.

With a turn of her eyes, Hua Qingcheng found Ren Yimo - Ren Yimo was a casual cultivator in Huoyunling, with no foundation and no means. The reason why Hua Qingcheng was defeated by Ren Yimo was purely because he was tricked by this kid, not because of his lack of strength.

Hua Qingcheng wanted to clear her name from Ren Yimo.

Ren Yimo was not afraid of trouble!

Hua Qingcheng's appearance offended Ren Yimo's taboo. Ren Yimo had long disliked him. It was rare that this kid was so well-behaved and dared to cause trouble for him.

They hit it off and fought.

In this way, there were still four people left in the top ten Jindan, and they did not fight.

Li Xingyan and Jin William looked at each other. One was a master of Zhenkong Dao, and the other was a rookie of Tianlu Valley. They both belonged to Nanyue Province, so there was no need to kill each other.

In the end, Li Xingyan chose Mo Mei and Jin William chose Yuan Jue.

The ten great golden elixirs were divided into five groups, fighting two by two, which was very exciting.

When Xiao Baitao arrived, she saw this scene...

But Xiao Baitao couldn't figure it out: What does this have to do with her?

The fierce fight was in full swing, and suddenly, a Yuanying pressure dominated the scene!

A man in a green shirt came from the air.

It was Xiao Mian, who fell from the sky.

Without waiting for everyone to salute, Xiao Mian waved his hand and attacked Xiao Baitao in the crowd. A green light hit his body, and a ball of white light rose from Xiao Baitao's body.

The collision of green and white was like the blue sky and white sun, blinding everyone's eyes.

At that moment, wailing sounded everywhere, and almost no one was spared.

Only a shout exploded the crowd.

"Everyone, be careful! This person is not Senior Xiao! Senior Xiao is at the top level of the Nascent Soul, but this person is at the high level of the Nascent Soul! Someone must be impersonating him with bad intentions!" The person who spoke was Park Mingyu. With a glance, Park Mingyu saw Xiao Baitao clearly, and his expression changed. He abandoned Ling Ruohan and rushed towards Xiao Baitao. At the same time, Li Xingyan, Jin William and Ren Yimo also abandoned their opponents and gathered around Xiao Baitao. On the contrary, Xiao Baitao looked at Xiao Mian and was stunned: "Why did you hit me?"

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Xiao Mian attacked Xiao Baitao again.

Park Mingyu, Li Xingyan, Jin William and Ren Yimo desperately protected Xiao Baitao and blocked Xiao Mian's attack for her.

After just one attack, all four were injured.

At this time, the others also saw something - this Xiao Mian was indeed not the Xiao Mian who appeared on the nine-layer competition stage before.

I just don't know where that girl came from, but she made him want to kill her!

"This is Senior Xiao's only daughter, and we can't let her get away! Please help me!"

Pu Mingyu spat out a mouthful of blood after saying this, and the blood contained broken internal organs. It was obvious that Pu Mingyu was seriously injured by the attack just now.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the next moment, they all moved.

Ling Ruohan, Hua Qingcheng, Yuanjue and Mo Mei all came to help, and even Fu Lei and Yu Xueyan, who were fighting, stopped fighting.

Among the many spectators, some protected Xiao Baitao, some rushed back to Wanzong City for help, some formed a formation to defend, and some fled...

For a while, Xiao Baitao was protected in the center of the crowd.

"You! Do you want to die for her?"

"Senior Xiao has saved Mingyu's life! His daughter is Mingyu's benefactor. As long as Mingyu is alive today, I will not let you hurt her!"

"Hmph! Then go..."

Before Xiao Mian in green shirt finished speaking, a stream of light came from the east.

Another Xiao Mian, from the direction of Wanzong City, turned into light and rushed to the front. Without saying a word, he released the magic weapon Tai Chi and killed Xiao Mian in green shirt.

Xiao Mian in green shirt was horrified and fled without caring about hurting anyone.

Also accompanying him was Bai Qiye, who chased him all the way, leaving Xiao Mian behind, and descended from the sky to Xiao Baitao's side.

"Taozi! Are you okay?"

"You..., I'm fine!"

"I'm glad you're okay! Thank you for your support! I don't know who is this person, but he picked you guys, how abominable!" Xiao Mian said this, Ren Yimo's eyes turned, and he whispered: "Isn't it Dutian Peak?"

As soon as this was said, everyone's face changed.

"This... Can't it be? Dutian Peak can't be so shameless?"

"Senior Xiao! The man just pretended to be you, although he is not the top level of Nascent Soul, he is also a high-level Nascent Soul. With this level of cultivation, he is also a well-known figure among all forces. Now, except for Dutian Peak, all forces are in Wanzong City. In the world, except for Dutian Peak, where else can there be extra high-level Nascent Soul cultivators?"

"..."

Xiao Mian was silent.

Li Xingyan took over the conversation angrily.

"Hmph! Dutian Peak! Attacking my Sikong Mountain, trying to destroy my Zhenkong Dao inheritance, my previous master of Zhenkong Dao died in a bloody battle, this blood debt must be paid with blood."

"And my Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, the matter of Chu County in the past cannot be forgotten!"

Jin William, unwilling to be outdone, brought up the old matter again.

For a time, the voices of crusade against Dutian Peak were one after another.

"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, let's go back to Wanzong City first!"

After stopping the discussion of the crowd, Xiao Mian threw a pot of fine spirit wine to Park Mingyu, and then took Xiao Baitao back to Baiyin City.

That night, at dusk, a piece of news spread throughout Wanzong City.

In view of the fact that what Dutian Peak did seriously hurt the feelings of Nanyue and other forces, and destroyed the harmonious atmosphere of the cultivation world, Wanzong City, on behalf of Nanyue State, launched a manifesto to all forces in the world - to launch an expedition to the north and conquer Dutian Peak!

When this order came out, the world was shocked and the wind and clouds were surging.

The feud between Dutian Peak and Nanyue State has a long history. Dutian Peak has only marched south from time to time, but Nanyue State has never marched north.

Finally, Nanyue State took the initiative!

Soon, all the allies of Nanyue State: the Netherworld Ghost Realm and Shichahai in Xishu State, Badao City and Tianxiang Tower in Dongwu State, Tianmo Palace in Beiwei State, and even the Four Seas Cultivation World, the two races of humans and demons, and the two paths of Buddha and ghosts, all issued statements and responded to the dispatch of troops.

According to the response of various forces, the northern expedition army of Nanyue State will complete all preparations in three days, leave Nanyue, and go north to Zhongzhou.

For Nanyue State, this is just a northern expedition.

For Dutian Peak, this is a hunting!

On the top of Baiyin City, Xiao Mian stood alone under the moonlight, without sadness or joy.

The daytime scene was all written, directed and performed by Xiao Mian himself. Even Park Mingyu, Ren Yimo, Li Xingyan, Jin William and others were also reminded by Xiao Mian in advance.

Everyone was acting just to have a legitimate reason.

For Xiao Mian, it made no difference whether he was famous or not.

But for Nanyue State, a name was necessary to launch a northern expedition.

Even if everyone knew it was a play, it had to be performed...

It was just that Xiao Mian felt a little guilty for involving Taozi.

Suddenly, Xuancao appeared behind Xiao Mian, silent and without saying a word.

"Taozi, have you gone to bed?"

"She's already gone to bed!"

"Did you scare her? Sorry!"

"Brother! Why are you telling me this? It's just..." When she came to Xiao Mian, Xuancao showed a rare solemn look, and said seriously: "Brother! Promise me: Don't make a fuss about peaches in the future! I know you feel bad too!"

"..., yeah! I promise you! This kind of thing will never happen again!"

"Brother! I know what you are doing must pay a lot of price - maybe many people can't understand you, but I will always support you!" As she spoke, Xuancao took the initiative to merge into Xiao Mian's arms, hugged Xiao Mian tightly, and whispered softly: "So, if there are things that are difficult to decide in the future, please tell me, I will help you decide. Don't be afraid of scaring me, really!"

"My Xuancao is really considerate!"

Holding Xuancao tightly with his backhand, Xiao Mian exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Burying his head in Xiao Mian's chest, Xuancao smiled lightly and thought silently in his heart.

Sure enough!

People standing in this position will change.

But what about it?

He changed, and I changed with him.

If he wants to be alone, I will live with him in seclusion in the mountains.

If he wants to benefit the world, I will accompany him in the military.

Even if he becomes the devil who destroys the world, I will accompany him and laugh at the criticism of thousands of people.

As long as I can be with him!
