As for the other four people Xiao Xiao mentioned, even though they might not be caused by the white fox, their cultivation levels definitely weren't just at the middle level of the Five Element Region. The two of them were already at the late level of the Five Element Region.

After hearing Xiao Xiao's explanation, the young sect master didn't care about how those people died. What he cared about was how those people entered the sect. The sect wasn't strong, but it wasn't something that someone of the Five Elements Realm could casually come by.

"Does Junior Brother Liu know how those people came in?" If you know, please speak your mind! "

At the same time, Shen Hui also sent out two elders to deal with the few men whom Xiao Xiao mentioned were killed by the white fox.

He knew that those people must have been secretly protecting Liu Qiang's group. Furthermore, Liu Qiang was still in the Fa Hua Sect, so he wasn't worried about anything big happening. Thus, he directly listened to who had colluded with that Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

The main reason was that Xiao Xiao definitely knew who this person was. However, he did not notice that Li Hu had been hiding behind Shen Yuanheng the moment he asked this question.

Shen Hui faced the sky and roared. He definitely wouldn't be able to see the reaction of the butterfly! However, when he looked into Xiao Xiao's eyes, he found it very strange. Why didn't Xiao Xiao reply to him?

On the other hand, Shen Yuanheng was meticulous enough to notice Li Hu's abnormality. No wonder he was chased after by Li Hu from the very beginning! Furthermore, he no longer had any manners or recuperation, so how could he be so afraid of howling! So it was because he had a guilty conscience.

He walked to Li Hu, who was about to flee, and grabbed him as he asked, "Junior Brother Li, the person who colluded with Ten Thousand Beast Mountain wouldn't be you, right?"

When he heard Shen Hui's question, Li Hu already knew that the matter had been completely exposed. Originally, after the sudden death of those few people, Liu Huan had arrived and thought that Liu Huan was going to seek revenge, and that the white fox was really chasing him. That was why he hid in this place, knowing that the only people who could save him were the Sect Leader and his teacher.

However, he never expected that the Sect Leader would already know that those people were from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. Although he could not believe it, looking at the expression in Liu Huan's eyes, he knew that the matter was completely exposed and there was no room for negotiation.

Although he knew it was useless to run, it was useless for him to do it.

However, Shen Yuanheng's attempt to stop him had completely ruined his plan to escape. However, no matter what, he still had a chance to defend himself.

"Replying to Young Clan Master's words!" That so-called Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, I have never heard of it before! "

Li Hu didn't even need to blink when he said this. Xiao Xiao curled his lips and said, "I really shouldn't have spared your life!"

As he spoke and was about to kill Li Hu, Li Hu hid behind Shen Hui and said, "Don't! I will say it, and I will say everything, for my master's sake, I hope that the Sect Leader can save my life! "

Li Hu had fought when Xiao Xiao had just arrived at Fa Hua Sect. Autonomy was no match for Xiao Xiao. Even though it had been over a year, he knew that Xiao Xiao was much stronger than he was a year ago.

He might have been harboring murderous intentions, so he decided to say it out loud. Only then would he have a chance of survival.

Xiao Xiao couldn't be bothered to respond to this fellow. In any case, he could just say whatever he wanted, and it had nothing to do with him.

Besides Xiao Xiao and Liu Qiang, everyone present stared at Li Hu, indicating for him to quickly speak.

This was his best chance to live, how could he let it go? So Li Hu started talking.

"We have to start from two years ago. When Liu Qiang came back with a small dog, I was very curious, so I followed him. Then I accidentally discovered that the little dog was a Black Dragon that had the bloodline of a real dragon. At the same time, I also discovered that there was someone in the shadows ?"

Shen Yuanheng did not allow him to continue speaking and directly stabbed him with his blade.

Li Hu opened his mouth a few times before saying to Xiao Xiao, "Didn't you say you would personally take revenge on me? Now save me! "Save me!"

Xiao Xiao laughed, "Did I say that? I forgot! "

Finally, he reminded them, "Let me tell you something. You have to know what to say and what not to say, otherwise, just like you, your life won't be long! "

Li Hu could not understand what he said wrong. Even the Sect Leader did not care about his Master's face and did not stop Shen Yuanheng's actions.

How could he know that the topic of protecting Liu Qiang in secret was already a taboo in their minds. They were clear about it, but they did not question him.

If the few people protecting Liu Qiang were to make a move because of his identity being leaked out, then the Fa Hua Sect would not be able to do anything. Thus, Shen Yuanheng's actions were to be tacitly accepted by both the Fa Hua Sect's leader and the elders present.

Liu Qiang walked up to Li Hu, who was still breathing, and whipped him a few times. Even if Li Hu died, it wouldn't be good. After Liu Qiang pulled out the knife completely, Li Hu opened his eyes and fell down.

At the same time, even to his death, he did not understand how the people of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, in order not to reveal their identities, could not even bring their own demonic beasts with them. How could they possibly reveal their identities?

He definitely didn't understand. This was a chance for a peak quasi Yang Yuan Stage expert to intercept a Five Elements expert and exchange his life for a message. Only then did he understand where these people came from, otherwise, it would be impossible to tell!

Although Li Hu did not finish his sentence, Liu Qiang understood that all of this was due to him being discovered when he was playing with Xiao Hei. The people of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain should have placed a great deal of importance on Xiao Hei's bloodline, no wonder the Sky Elder, who sent Xiao Hei back, was ambushed!

This time, Xiao Xiao probably ignored his apology and knew that he did not have a good ending. That was why he took the initiative to collude with people from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain to catch the white fox. The white fox's strangeness was indeed worth their risk.

Understanding all of this, Liu Qiang sneered in his heart. Isn't this Li Hu thinking too highly of himself? Xiao Xiao never really considered him an opponent. Moreover, if it really came to revenge, Xiao Xiao wouldn't use any heavy methods. He, Li Hu, was completely overthinking.

However, this was also because he, Li Hu, did not have a very good temperament.

Looking at Liu Qiang's actions, Shen Hui swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. The others definitely wouldn't say anything.

In the face of such an irreparable situation, Shen Hui had no other choice but to give his old friend an explanation! As such, he looked towards Xiao Xiao. Due to the reason, it couldn't be blamed on Liu Qiang. Thus, he had no choice but to use the Howling Firmament Blade.

Liu Qiang looked at Shen Hui with disdain and said, "Second Elder wants to find trouble and get him to come here. With us here, you should go deal with those dead guys!" Otherwise, the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain people would have really come looking for us. "

Shen Hui nodded his head in trust and gave the orders. He then brought Shen Yuanheng along and stayed at the Xuan Yu Residence. He was prepared to probe if Liu Qiang's words would be detrimental to the Fa Hua Sect.

Because Liu Qiang was curious about how Xiao Xiao found the way to make the three spirits, he hated these people who were still lingering around, but he knew what they meant. Thus, he said: "The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain has nothing to do with me, everything else will be as usual, but I think the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain will not exist for long!"

Shock, great shock. These words meant that the Cold Moon Merchant Guild had yet to reveal its full strength and hidden strength. The final strength of the Cold Moon Merchant Guild would not be any weaker than the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. Otherwise, Liu Qiang would confidently say these words.

No matter what, he had the answer he wanted. At the same time, he also knew some of the secrets of the Cold Moon Merchant Guild. He was glad that Liu Qiang's little thoughts only flashed through his mind; otherwise, it would bring disaster to the Fa Hua Sect.

Who in the world was this Cold Moon Merchant Guild? Since their establishment, they had never revealed their skills. However, not only had they been more cautious recently, their strength had also slowly increased. Where did these experts come from?

Also, why was Liu Qiang surnamed Liu, but had such a high position in the Cold Moon Merchant Guild?

All of these things confused Shen Hui.

However, Shen Yuanheng had a bold guess in his heart.

The Cold Moon Merchant Guild's master was surnamed Leng, there was no doubt about that. Liu Qiang was surnamed Liu, there was no need to mention that. Amongst the two major powers, there was only one person with the surname Leng, and that was the former Empire of Shu!

Regardless of whether it was before or now, this country was controlled by two clans. The Liu Clan and the Leng Clan, and just like Liu Qiang and the Cold Moon Merchant Guild, the Liu Clan was respected.

What was more coincidental was that Liu Qiang was twelve years old this year. Twelve years ago, the Cold Moon Merchant Guild suddenly took the initiative to take part in some notorious wars. This led to a major change in the Han Empire of Shu.

At that time, the imperial family of the Han Dynasty, as well as half of the Leng Clan, had all disappeared without a trace. There was no more news of them.

Coincidences like these, the fact that the Cold Moon Merchant Guild was hiding something and Liu Qiang was hiding in the Fa Hua Sect made Shen Yuan Heng make a bold guess.

The Cold Moon Merchant Guild was only a small part of the Leng Clan's property. It was now the hiding place of the Emperor's legacy in the Han Dynasty.

In other words, the powers behind the Cold Moon Merchant Guild originated from the direct line of descent of the Han Empire of Shu!

This conjecture was not baseless. His good friend, the original head of the Imperial Family of Cold Moon, Song Baoliang, had also told him about it.

It was only because the Song Family had helped the Leng Clan in the past that they were able to establish the Cold Moon Kingdom with the secret support of the Leng Clan of the Han Empire!

This made Shen Yuanheng even more certain of his guess.

However, Shen Yuanheng was not so foolish as to say so directly. Therefore, he could only come back and tell these conjectures to his father.

Don't you want to see through me! It would be better to not know! This was also the reason why he killed Liu Qiang to keep quiet when Li Hu said he had someone protecting him from the shadows.

This was because once Li Hu revealed the matter, their Fa Hua Sect might very well die because of him.

Someone was secretly protecting Liu Qiang. In fact, the upper echelons of the Fa Hua Sect all had their own guesses. However, they weren't sure and didn't point it out.

After all, there were some things that happened to Liu Qiang that were impossible to explain.

Anyone who provoked him again would die for no reason, even the disciples of the elders were no exception. There were even some elders who watched their own disciples die in front of them without even knowing who had done it.

Shen Yuanheng speculated in his heart. Liu Qiang was staring at Shen Hui, hoping that he would hurry up and leave as he consoled the wronged White Fox. As for Shen Hui, he had yet to recover from his shock.

It was only after a long time that the second elder of the Fa Hua sect arrived from all directions, breaking the silence.

"My disciple is dead?" The group of four calmly asked the question as they watched the silent group. It was as if Li Hu's death was already within his expectations.

Xiao Xiao laughed mischievously, "Old man, don't be sad. I will find you a good one in the future!"

Cheng Sifang didn't look happy at all. He flicked a glance at Xiao Xiao and said in disappointment, "No matter how good a disciple is, he's still inferior to you!"

He also knew that it was impossible for Xiao Xiao to become his disciple, and he really didn't have the qualifications to teach him.

To go from refining a grade five pill to refining a high quality spirit pill, that talent could be said to be heaven-defying! Furthermore, he had his own understanding of the Pill Dao. Even though he was already a grandmaster alchemist, he was still ashamed of his own abilities.

More importantly, this fellow could be said to be half a teacher to him. If not for hearing some of his insights in the Way of Pills, it would be impossible for him to become a grandmaster apothecary so quickly!

So even though he knew that Li Hu's death was due to Xiao Xiao, he couldn't blame Li Hu in the slightest.

Xiao Xiao also knew that this old man was angry. That's right, this old man had finally met this disciple of his who died just like that. How could he not be angry?

However, seeing that Cheng Sifang knew his place, he also felt displeased in his heart.

But it was indeed impossible for him to be his disciple, and it could be said that no one would be able to become his master.

Whether it was the Six Paths of the Forgotten Valley, Wen, Wu, Shang, Dan, Artifact, or Formation.

As for the assassination, deduction, hidden weapons, poison, and medicine of Xiao Tian's faction, he had been taught by Yun Jing and the other two in the past.

In terms of theory, he was on the same level as a Grandmaster. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could become the Master of the Four Directions.

He had even discussed the meaning of life and death on the road out of the mountain back in the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range!

Thinking of this, Xiao had a malicious idea. He said to Cheng Si, "I can't be your disciple, but I can be your master!"

Arrogant! His brain must have been burnt out! He was an apothecary, and if he wanted to become the master of an apothecary, he must be extremely arrogant.

However, Cheng Sifang was shocked by what he saw and what he did next shocked everyone.

With a 'putong', Cheng Si kneeled down and performed a ceremony to acknowledge Zhang Xuan as his teacher.

To everyone's surprise, no matter what, Cheng Si was still a grandmaster apothecary. Yet, under the teasing of a child, he actually made a ceremony of acknowledging someone as his teacher. Who would believe these words? But it had really happened!

From Xiao Xiao's appearance, one could tell that he was just playing a prank. How could Cheng Sifang lower himself to take it seriously?

This was especially the case for Shen Wan, who was upset. He refused to help his old friend out of so many forces that tried to rope him in. Even Senior Dan Chenzi invited him, but he didn't agree! He actually took a kid's joke today seriously?

Cheng Si's pill refining skills were not ordinary, and with the help of Danchen Zi, he had managed to walk all the way to this day. Back then, the Cold Moon Merchant Guild had promised them great benefits and yet, they had not managed to poach him away. This was unbelievable!
