Chapter 78: Gathering at the Base (Part 2)

  At this moment, the old man in a green robe had an air of a high-ranking Taoist, and after gently floating down, he stood beside Chu Hao. He then gazed at Chu Hao's entire body from head to toe before nodding slightly with a hint of profundity. With a wave of his sleeve, a ball of clear energy surged out, lightly enveloping Chu Hao's entire body.

  This mass of clear air is a profound and mysterious method. Chu Hao only felt that his breathing became smoother in an instant, and the acid feeling in his throat disappeared. He suddenly understood the meaning of Qing Shan's gesture. When he raised his head, he saw the latter standing with his hands behind his back, suddenly emitting a strong aura from his body, and his eyes turned to Lu Ruhua who was crawling up from the ground.

  Building foundation period master?!

  Lu Ru Hua was greatly shocked in her heart, the previous wave of mental attack made her feel extremely uncomfortable all over, and the long sword in her hand almost couldn't be held. And when she struggled to get up from the ground and looked at the old man in green again, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes uncontrollably.

  "Elder...” Just now, Chu Hao's life was almost understood, but now everything has fallen apart! Lu Ruhua suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to calm down her emotions. She stared at the old man in green clothes and said stiffly: "I am a disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect, please don't interfere with our internal affairs!"

  The old man in the green shirt raised an eyebrow, let out a cold snort, and said: "You're quite arrogant, young one. Do I need to report my actions to you, Purple Cloud Sect?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Chu Hao, who was still coughing up blood, and frowned, saying: "Today, you've beaten him into this state, so you should be satisfied. I won't make things difficult for you. You can leave."

  He had just watched the fight and Chu Hao's shameless fighting scene, which gave him no reason to come out and teach Lu Ruhua a lesson.

  The old man in the green shirt made Chu Hao's injuries slightly better, but Chu Hao was still very unhappy. In his heart, he secretly scolded the old man in the green shirt for being an idiot, seeing himself so seriously injured and not even saying a word of comfort, nor helping him vent his anger, and actually planning to let Lu Ruhua leave. This made Bi Zhuang's emotions unbearable!

  He was about to roar and forbid them from leaving, but unexpectedly, Lu Ruhua's temperament was not much better than his. After hearing Qing Shan Lao Ren's words, she only hesitated for a moment before stubbornly saying: "Senior, today I must take this person's life!"

  The old man in the green shirt was a foundation-building cultivator, and he had been rebuffed by a congenital Qi-refining cultivator. His face didn't look good, and he stared at Lu Ruhua, saying coldly: "Earlier, I spoke kindly to you because you are a disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect. Do you think I'm afraid of your sect?"

  "Elder, junior doesn't dare to be rude to elder!" Lu Ruhua lowered his head, the residual light in his eyes was cold and gloomy as he stared at Chu Hao. He then slowly opened his mouth and said: "But if elder insists on protecting this guy, then do it over junior's dead body!"

  "Hahaha……" The old man in the green shirt burst out laughing loudly, and Lu Ruhua's words made him somewhat appreciative. He said slowly: "This girl's temper is just to my liking, if it weren't for this young man's important relationship today, I would have given in to you without hesitation." As he spoke, his expression calmed down again, and he continued blandly: "However, now it's not possible! Alright, I've said so much, already giving enough face to the Purple Cloud Sect. Now leave, I won't stop you!"

  Lu Ruhua didn't respond to him, and as soon as the old man in green's words fell, she was already moving swiftly with her long skirt fluttering behind her. She began to chant the sword incantation, and her long sword suddenly rose into the air, floating to a position under her chin. As a brilliant light flashed, Lu Ruhua made several hand seals and pushed forward, sending the sword flying towards Chu Hao!

  The old man in the green shirt's face sank, and towards Lu Ruhua being so stubborn and ignoring him as if he didn't exist, it also made him somewhat angry. Suddenly, the old man in the green shirt let out a loud roar.

  Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble...

  Ripples of air waves seemed to have a substantial presence, and the long sword rushed forward as if it had substance!

  So close, the old man in green suddenly let out a loud roar, which almost scared Chu Hao's heart out. The long sword, which had been so intimidating, hit the ripples and emitted a clanging sound of gold swords colliding. The second-grade flying sword trembled several times under the shockwave and fell to the ground!

  Lu Ruhua's body involuntarily retreated a few steps back, his face instantly turning pale.

  The old man in the green shirt didn't move, but with just one loud roar, he made Lu Ruhua's sword technique disappear into thin air, causing the flying sword to tremble and fall to the ground!

  The two flying swords were completely destroyed with just one roar!

  What elegance!

  This is the real power of the foundation period!

  In his presence, Lu Ruhua, a naturally gifted Qi cultivator, seemed like a child who had just learned to speak!

  At this moment, Chu Hao's heart rose with a strong desire, the kind of desire for foundation-building cultivators! Before in the Foundry Sect, he had seen many foundation-building and Golden Core cultivators, but he had never felt this way before!

  The feeling you want to get from this effort!

  Spiritual power, true yuan power, willpower... I, Chu Hao, will one day reach that height, and maybe... even higher!

  The old man in the green shirt had an icy gaze, "I'll give you one more chance, if you don't leave now, then don't blame me for taking action myself!" As he spoke, the old man lifted his foot and stomped it on the ground. Suddenly, the white curtain seemed to be eaten away by countless insects, slowly transforming into a sparkling green space. Chu Hao knew that the old man's intention had already found the array eye of the formation, and this one step would destroy the entire space.

  As a Xiantian cultivator of the Lu Ruhua level, it is impossible to set up such an array, and can only rely on spiritual symbols to display. So in front of Qing Shan Old Man, this kind of array made by spiritual symbols is completely useless!

  Witnessing the old man in green's move, Lu Ruhua was also shocked beyond measure. However, as for her to let go of Chu Hao who had repeatedly belittled her and even slapped her ear, she absolutely refused to yield. "Senior is indeed mighty and powerful, junior willingly admits defeat, but this concerns the affairs of my Purple Cloud Sect. Could it be that senior truly disregards his status and wants to take action against me?"

  This Lu Ruhua is indeed clever, at this moment he saw that the enemy was not to be underestimated. He took two steps: first, he lowered his posture, and second, he brought out the Purple Cloud Gate. Unfortunately, behind the old man in green robes was Tao Ranju, so naturally he wouldn't take her words to heart. All he heard was him saying coldly: "This child's matter is of great importance, I must protect him, no need for further talk! What I said earlier, I also don't want to repeat a second time!"

  Lu Ruhua bit her lower lip, her expression extremely unwilling. She still had a third-grade artifact on her body, which was given to her by her master for self-protection, and she hesitated whether to use it at this time.

  But she was not certain whether using it would pose a threat to this inexplicably appearing old man, after all, the other party did not even flinch upon hearing the name of the Purple Cloud Sect, truly unknown what kind of background he had!

  Just as Lu Ruhua was hesitating, the old man in green robes opposite him suddenly changed his expression. He then swung his long sleeves fiercely towards the sky, and a strong gust of wind shot out from his sleeve, "Who is hiding their head and showing their tail? Show yourself quickly!"

  A massive surge of spiritual energy burst out from the old man in green, and Chu Hao had just taken a Bone Healing Pill. He was also shocked to hear this sentence, and only heard Chen Honghong shouting in his mind: "Not good, two more foundation-building cultivators have come!"

  Accompanied by a loud laugh, the entire formation space seemed to be cut open with ripples on the water's surface. Next, two old men wearing gray robes descended from the sky. These were also two old men, with their hands held in sleeves. One of them, who looked more robust and was laughing all along, while the other, who looked more sinister and thin, had a cold face.

  "The old man in the green shirt, one of the five elders of Tao Ran's residence!" The two old men fell to either side of Lu Ruhua. Then, the slightly more rotund old man bowed his head to the old man in the green shirt and smiled.

  Lu Ruhua's face suddenly showed a hint of astonishment and tension, and he respectfully greeted the two: "Master, Master Zhou!"

  That sinister old man hummed, then stretched out his hand and sucked in the flying sword on the ground, which was lightly picked up by him. He tossed it to Lu Ruhua and said, "You go back first. Your master and your aunt are here."

  Lu Ru Hua nodded and retreated to the side, but her gaze never left Chu Hao's carefree figure on the ground. However, she was also surprised in her heart, not expecting her master and senior fellow apprentice to appear here.

  But it was also because of their appearance that she finally let out a sigh of relief and regained her confidence in Chu Hao.

  The old man in the green shirt faintly nodded and said, "Zhou Dao friend, Yun Dao friend!" The three of them were all at the second or third layer of the foundation building stage, so their realms were roughly the same. Therefore, the old man in the green shirt wouldn't be arrogant or condescending in his demeanor, nor would he address his seniors like Sword Old did.

  Chu Hao stood on the ground, ignoring Lu Ruhua's murderous gaze, his eyes lingering on the two old men, a hint of chilling intent flashing in his eyes!

  The old Taoist of Ziyunmen, I finally got to see you today!
