How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hei Yang spread his hands and pointed around: "This branch of the Medicine King Sect has Yao Qingkong and Yin Zisheng in charge. Even if Senior Yao is not available right now, there is still Yin Zisheng!"

Hei Yang pointed to the distance: "In addition, the sect leader of the Medicine King Sect and the others are also staying at a branch not far away, and the elders of the Boundless Sword Sect are also very close to the southwest."

In addition, there were Elder Huo Le and his group, as well as the people Elder Huo Le led..."

After a pause, Hei Yang said quietly, "You don't think that such a big thing is just going to be handled by the two of us, do you?"

"Eh?"

Hongli paused for a moment, then exclaimed as if waking from a dream, "Oh, right!"

"That's right!"

Hei Yang rolled his eyes and complained, "Good sister, when did you become so diligent and noble? Daring to be the first in the world and bravely taking on heavy responsibilities, I won't watch this year's Top Ten Touching Youths in the Travel Industry without you."

"Oh, hahaha..."

Hongli realized she had done something foolish and chuckled awkwardly, "Well, when something big or difficult happened before, you were the only one by my side!"

"I thought, I thought..."

Hongli suddenly chuckled foolishly, "I thought it would just be the two of us again, but it turns out we already have so many accomplices..."

"What the hell is this accomplice, that..."

Hei Yang stopped speaking and turned with Hong Li to look at Xing Yun who was rushing over from not far away. She ran towards Hong Li and said, "Sister Hong Li, slow down! I can't catch up with you. Elder Huo Le hasn't finished speaking yet. He's bringing people over to help you with your communication spirit stone..."

"Ah this..."

Hong Li took the communication stone somewhat sheepishly, looked at Elder Huo Le with a complicated expression on the other end, and said with an awkward smile, "Ha, um, I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry..."

"Well……"

Xingyun paused, looked around, then looked at Heiyang and asked curiously, "Brother Heiyang, where's Gaga?"

"Ah, him? He's over there."

Hei Yang pointed to a spot not far away: "He was originally supposed to be our referee, but now he's probably just watching the show."

Don't worry, several pieces are guarding him there, nothing will go wrong.

"Phew, I see..."

Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief: "That puts my mind at ease..."

"..."

"I understand, I get it..."

Hongli nodded, then suddenly realized, "So, apart from leaving Jinxiu to guard the mountain gate, you'll all be coming?"

"Ah."

Elder Huo Le nodded and said, "Besides that, there are also the elders of the Wuliang Sword Sect. They had already set off before I informed you, and they should arrive soon."

"Elders of the Boundless Sword Sect..."

Hong Li nodded thoughtfully, recalling how she and Kong Yuqing had once besieged that Tribulation Transcending stage guy. Afterwards, she and Hei Yang had a brief encounter with them, and they all seemed quite reliable.

Aside from the fact that we were infiltrated for so long without realizing it, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about it...

"I can rest assured that."

Hong Li breathed a sigh of relief: "If we work together, we should be able to search this area in a very short time."

After a pause, Hongli looked at Elder Huole, whose expression was still not good, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Elder? You look so downcast. Is there anything else you haven't noticed?"

"Uh, no, no, even if we didn't notice it, we'd have to find the location of the fragment first to know..."

Huo Le paused, her expression somewhat unnatural. After thinking for a moment, she muttered under her breath, "That's right, I confessed everything!"

"what?"

A string of question marks popped up above Hongli's head as she asked curiously, "What? You confessed everything?"

"Uh, it's that one..."

Elder Huo Le chuckled awkwardly, "Xiao Yun overheard our conversation after you left..."

………………

"Ah, Elder Huo Le..."

Xingyun looked at Huole with a scrutinizing expression, a rare glint of wisdom in her eyes: "What were you talking about with Sister Hongli just now, about fragments, activities, and alliances with other factions? What's going on?"

"Uh, this, this..."

Elder Huo Le's heart skipped a beat, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said guiltily, "Ahaha, that, that's a sect secret, only elders and sect leaders can know it!"

Xiaoyun, your strength level isn't high enough. Knowing this won't do you any good, hahahaha…

"Eh?"

The wise light in Xingyun's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a blank and innocent expression as she said, "Really? Oh, I see!"

"sorry……"

Xingyun quickly apologized, "I misunderstood Elder Huole just now..."

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright..."

Huo Le waved his hand with a "generous" expression and said with a smile, "How could I blame you for being such a well-behaved and sensible child like Xiao Yun!"

"Elder Huo Le!!!"

Xingyun said with tears in her eyes, "You've been so good to me!"

"Haha, you're my disciple, if I'm not good to you, who else should I be good to!"

Elder Huo Le laughed heartily. Goodness, he's really something! He's such a clever old man. He came up with a brilliant idea in a moment of crisis and got away with it!

"Uh, that..."

Yao Qingkong, standing to the side, asked curiously, "The World Fragment event you're talking about, is that the thing that's been all the rage in the cultivation world lately?"

Huo Le: "!!!"

I'm super, don't!

Xingyun: "???"

Huh? What?

"That is to say..."

Yao Qingkong completely ignored Elder Huo Le's pleading eyes and leisurely explained with a finger outstretched: "Well, the thing is, a while ago, there was a major upheaval..."

It is said that Elder Huo Le obtained the information from their Five Elements Sect Master, and in order to increase the feasibility of this matter, he publicized it extensively.

He rallied the various holy lands and sects that considered themselves to be of decent strength, with Nascent Soul stage leaders leading the way, to organize their disciples to explore the Fragment Secret Realm when the time came.

It's a great opportunity to hone one's skills, gain benefits, and help the world. Everyone is eager to sign up. Almost any disciple above the Foundation Establishment stage can participate. I've even heard that some sects are taking Qi Refining stage disciples along..."

After a pause, Yao Qingkong suddenly remembered: "Oh, right, it seems to be one of the top performers in the youth competition of your cultivation world, I don't know which one. I think he's related to Hong Li and Hei Yang. His name is... I forgot. Anyway, I remember his surname is Hong. Oh right, Hong Butian!"

Yao Qingkong's eyes lit up as she looked at Xingyun and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Xiaoyun, you were the first place winner in that competition, right? Then you must be one of the participants in this event, right?"

Xingyun: "..."

Huo Le: "..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 407 A comfortable relationship between people is one where they can remain silent for a long time, or speak at any time.

"Sister Hongli!"

Xingyun looked at Hongli with a slightly aggrieved and sad expression, pouting and saying, "Elder Grandpa Huole kept it from me, and you kept it from me too!"

"Oh, this, this, I didn't say that! You can't just say things like that!"

Hong Li quickly denied it and shook her head. She looked wronged and said, "We were planning to tell you anyway. We even went through the communication signal to confront Elder Huo Le in person because of this!"

We argued with him reasonably, but he was arrogant and domineering, relying on his age, and said he just wouldn't let you know.

Hei Yang and I were so angry that we fainted seven or eight times. We had to use coal tongs to pinch his philtrum to bring him back to life.

Finally, we managed to get him to agree to let us tell you about it.

But he used all sorts of threats and inducements to coerce us, adding a condition out of nowhere.

He said he would tell you after our birthdays, otherwise he would make sure we never see the sun rise again...

"Hey! That's not right at all!"

Elder Huo Le was so angry on the other end of the spirit stone screen that his mouth twisted and his eyes squinted. He couldn't help but say, "What kind of nonsense is this, acting like an old man who takes advantage of his age, being arrogant and domineering, threatening and bribing people like this! Don't slander an old man like this!"

"Look, look."

Hongli exclaimed in surprise, pointing at Elder Huole: "He's just taking advantage of his seniority again! He's getting impatient, he's getting impatient!"

Elder Huo Le: "..."

"Well……"

Xingyun looked bewildered, glancing left at Sister Hongli and then at Elder Huole, before whispering, "Really?"
