Chapter 680: The Cautious Jin Changdao
of heavy water droplets condensed in front of Lu Xia Tian, blocking his path.Whoosh whoosh whoosh.... Countless heavy water droplets rained down on Lu Xiaoteng. There were so many that it was impossi...With the matter of the Earth-Moon Gangsha resolved, Lu Xia Tian directly bid farewell to Cao Sheng. Although Cao Sheng felt reluctant, he also knew that Lu Xia Tian was not a person who attached importance to any particular place. Alone, he sent Lu Xia Tian out of the mansion and watched as Lu Xia Tian vanished into the sky.
“Come out.” Cao Sheng, with his hands behind his back, said softly after Lu Xiaottian vanished.
"Father!" Cao Xier, dressed in a flowing skirt and blouse, stepped out from behind a swaying young tree.
"Lu Xiaoteng is a rare talent, though not the heir of any powerful family. He achieved such heights solely through his own efforts, something even those from prestigious backgrounds couldn't match. What's more, he has an excellent character. If he stayed, he would indeed be a suitable match for you. However, it's a pity that Lu Xiaoteng has his heart set on the path of Yuan Ying Dao. You should cut your feelings for him short as soon as possible." Cao Sheng said while walking. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the Hou Mansion.
At first, Cao Xier blushed because her thoughts had been seen through by her father. However, later on, the blush faded into a long sigh. She stood there for a long time, surrounded only by the rustling of leaves and the gentle breeze. Cao Xier paused for a moment, then turned and headed back home.
The tall spirit tree quickly retreated behind, with the cries of monkeys and birds filling the valley. Lu Xiaoteng did not fly too high, avoiding being targeted by aerial demon birds. Even with his current strength, he was unwilling to fight a demon bird head-on, as they had a clear advantage in speed.
Lu Xia Tian landed on a large tree that was several people could embrace in girth. In the distance, between a canyon, a group of several people were hurrying forward.
“It’s them!” A glimmer flashed in Lu Xiaoxiao’s eyes. At this moment, passing through the canyon were Jin Changdao, He Rushuang, Wu Xiaoai, Sun Youcai, and others he had encountered after breaking through to the seventh level of physical body, along with a slovenly Taoist priest.
These ordinary few people naturally couldn't attract Lu Xia Tian's attention, but he discovered something very interesting. The direction Jin Chang Dao and the others were moving in was actually the same as his. This place was only dozens of miles away from that swamp land.

At first, Lu Xia Tian wasn't too sure. He just followed for a while. Lu Xia Tian confirmed his suspicions. At this moment, Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but jump in his heart, remembering what Zhao Huitian, the sword-wielding cultivator, said when he broke through to his physical body, this Jin Changdao was all for those illusory and ethereal Nascent Soul Fruits.
“Yu Dongbao and a few others looked rather mysterious, they definitely weren't up to any good. Several groups were all heading to the same place. Could it be that Zhao Huitian was telling the truth Or perhaps the rumors about the Jiejing Fruit were actually true”

Thinking of the Jiying Fruit, Lu Xia Tian's eyes narrowed. If that was the case, he would definitely go and investigate. After all, the ghostly place of Piaomiao Hall was too dangerous. It was best to avoid it unless necessary. Although the mysterious place under the swamp was not a good place either, compared to Piaomiao Hall, Lu Xia Tian still felt that the latter was safer. Weighing the two harms, he would choose the lesser harm. Since he had encountered it, he naturally couldn't miss it.
Lu Xiaotian moved, leaving the big tree where he was hiding, and followed Jin Changdao and his group closely behind.
"Oh, Daoist Jin, this poor Daoist truly can't walk anymore. You all as well, there are many of you, with overwhelming numbers and great magical power. Why insist on bringing this burden like me along the road" The disheveled Daoist seemed to have been injured, groaning as he followed the group.
"Shut your mouth, or I'll kill you!" Jin Changdao glared at the slovenly Daoist with murderous intent.
The slovenly Daoist suddenly covered his mouth with his hand.
A group of people quickly crossed the canyon, causing some low-level monsters in the canyon to scatter.
Lu Xiaoteng's foot landed on the back of a startled fawn, using its recoil to propel himself forward. His body glided effortlessly through the forest. The fawn turned in surprise and quickly disappeared into the undergrowth.
Soon, Jin Changdao led a group of people to the edge of the swamp. However, Jin Changdao stopped and stood still.

“Which friend has been following all the way here, you’ve got some heart. May I have a face-to-face with you” Jin Changdao had his hands behind his back, his eyes glancing towards Lu Xiaottian.
Lu Xiaitian was startled. He hadn't expected to be discovered by this Jin Changdao. This person indeed had some extraordinary abilities.
"Senior Jin is indeed impressive." Lu Xia Tian coughed, since he was discovered, there was no need to hide anymore.
“Hey Daoist Lu, where did you run off to How come you’re here” Sun Shoucai saw Lu Xiaotien and was instantly astonished.
“Lu Dao-you, you are quite disobedient, aren’t you Since we got separated at Blood Lion Mountain, I have been looking for you for a long time. You left without a word, which made me heartbroken for quite a while.” He Ruoshuang saw Lu Xiaoteng, her eyes lit up, and she said reproachfully.
“So it’s you. Why did you leave without a word on Blood Lion Mountain, and now you’re following us again” Jin Chang said coldly, glancing at Lu Xia Tian with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Logically speaking, this Lu Xia Tian had only just broken through to the Golden Core stage not long ago, he was just the lowest level cannon fodder, but the other party had been following them all the way. If it wasn’t for his spirit beast, with his Golden Core late stage cultivation, he shouldn't have even noticed. Even He Ruoshuang, this formidable woman, hadn’t sensed anything, which was quite strange indeed.
"I still have some private matters to attend to on Blood Lion Mountain. I wasn't deliberately following you just now. I was chased by a few monster beasts and fled blindly until I arrived here. Fortunately, I met a few fellow cultivators along the way, but I followed for a while, and I didn't expect Fellow Cultivator Jin to be so alert and discovered me right away." Lu Xiaoteng grinned widely.
"Well then, come with us. And remember this time, don't wander off carelessly." He Ruoshuang giggled.
Jin Changdao glanced at He Ruisuang with displeasure, snorted softly, and beckoned to the distance. A faint sound came from the grass, and several golden centipedes flew out from the grass and disappeared into Jin Changdao's wide sleeves. Lu Xiaoxian suddenly realized, "That's why!" The number of demon beasts and insects in this Black Heaven Mountain Range was countless. He had been a bit neglectful along the way. Unexpectedly, these were Jin Changdao's eyes and ears. Being discovered by Jin Changdao wasn't unfair at all. It seemed he needed to be more careful about this person in the future.Jin Changdao didn't say much. He pointed at the slovenly Taoist priest.
“You, go ahead first. After twenty li, then switch with Sun Shouchu.”
“A pauper I couldn't possibly be a pauper, for I am still injured. These swamp monsters are far too much for me to handle.” The slovenly Taoist exclaimed in fright.
"You can choose to be ambushed by the demon beasts, with our rescue, or choose to let me take action now." Jin Chang said, his eyes full of killing intent.

"I, I, well, this poor Daoist will go then." The slovenly Taoist gritted his teeth, trembling with both hands, he took out a roughly made wooden armor from his storage pouch and put it on. Then he clutched a few talismans in his hand, nervously flying forward. He turned back to glance at Jin Changdao, "Don't fall too far behind."
“Old geezer, rest assured. You're still of some use to me." He Ruoshuang spoke lightly, followed closely by Jin Changdao flying behind her. He had put away his previous frivolity and wore a grave expression on his face.le to learn more secrets in the future. 。When the time comes and we truly match, Lu brother, please don't take it seriously. Let's just have some fun and be done with it. 。“Hu Chunhong was completely...
