Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1337: Chapter 1333: Caution

Li Hongzhao said, ”Let’s go to the main hall, all the senior sisters have been invited over.”

”Are you really confident?” Song Chaoge asked.

Li Hongzhao chuckled lightly, ”Unless he held back earlier and didn’t use his full strength.”

”That’s impossible,” Song Chaoge said, ”No one doesn’t use their full strength.”

”Then there’s no problem,” Li Hongzhao said.

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes slightly narrowed, the golden pupil at the center of his forehead began to emit a rainbow glow.

Then his eyes returned to normal.

Li Hongzhao turned to look at Chu Zhiyuan, ”How is it?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The three of them left the small courtyard, heading north, and arrived at a spacious, open plaza.

At the north end of the plaza, three grand halls towered imposingly.

The halls had a peculiar design, like three Phoenix ready to spread their wings and fly.

In the plaza outside the halls, more than a dozen young women were practicing martial arts.

Seeing the arrival of Chu Zhiyuan and the others, they stopped and gathered around.

”Junior sister, are you alright now?”

”It seems you’ve recovered, that’s good, very good.”

”Junior sister, it’s no big deal, that Feng Nanyun has been practicing for years while you’ve just started, losing to him is nothing.”

...

Li Hongzhao nodded with a gentle smile.

Everyone’s gaze turned to Chu Zhiyuan.

Besides the heirs of the Phoenix bloodline, the only ones who can come to this Phoenix Secret Land are people from the other three bloodlines.

Yet, Chu Zhiyuan managed to come here too.

”Master, who is this...?” a graceful young woman asked curiously.

Song Chaoge said, ”Chu Zhiyuan from the Heavenly Sword Sect. You’ve heard of him, right?”

”Chu Zhiyuan? That Chu Zhiyuan?” the graceful young woman asked in surprise.

She looked Chu Zhiyuan up and down.

The other young women also sized him up.

”The famous Chu Zhiyuan, a pleasure, a pleasure, giggle...”

They all came forward to greet him, full of interest, as if they were seeing something remarkable.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

”Alright, you all!” Song Chaoge said displeased, ”He is Hongzhao’s Senior Brother, one of us; you don’t need to be like this.”

”Master, it’s our first time seeing this famous eccentric,” the graceful young woman said in surprise, ”So young yet so accomplished, how did he do it?”

”That Feng Nanyun is supposed to be a prodigy, but compared to Mr. Chu, he falls far short!”

”Lacks luster, huh.”

”Mr. Chu, it’s said you’re from Little Heaven Beyond. Is it because of Little Heaven Beyond that you cultivated so quickly after coming up?”

”Is the martial arts from Little Heaven Beyond very different from our Biyuan Heaven martial arts?”

”Does practicing the mental method from Little Heaven Beyond benefit our mental method from Biyuan Heaven?”

”What does You Meng Heaven look like?”

...

They chatted endlessly, surrounding Chu Zhiyuan with a barrage of questions.

Chu Zhiyuan kept a smile, not ignoring them, but patiently answered a few.

Causing them to exclaim in awe repeatedly.

At this moment, they didn’t seem like celestial daughters with the Phoenix bloodline, but like ordinary young girls.

Song Chaoge shook his head without saying more.

Li Hongzhao watched with a gentle smile.

From afar, three youths gradually approached, led by a round-faced young woman walking in this direction.

”Coming, they’re coming!”

”He really dares to come, quite bold; is he intentionally trying to humiliate us?”

”These Green Lions, not a single decent one!”

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at the three youths, all of whom were extraordinarily handsome.

Especially the leading youth, whose eyes were like cold stars, sword-like brows extending to his temples, a dignified nose, and an aura full of vibrant energy.

Vaguely, like a mighty lion walking softly, he had a remarkable presence.

Chu Zhiyuan seemed thoughtful.

This is the Green Lion Bloodline activated to an extreme degree, integrated with the body.

Li Hongzhao’s activation degree of the Phoenix Bloodline compared to him was far inferior.

Including the lively young women around were the same.

It’s no wonder Feng Nanyun was known as a prodigy.

Truly, he was exceptional.

Their group approached, and the leading Feng Nanyun cupped his hands with a smile, ”Greetings Uncle Song, fellow junior sisters.”

Song Chaoge waved his hand, ”Xiaofeng, why have you come again?”

He showed a guilty expression and sighed, ”Uncle, please forgive me. I acted too harshly; after injuring Junior Sister Li, I’ve felt guilty and uneasy, so I had to come.”

His gaze fell on Li Hongzhao, smiling, ”Junior Sister Li, are you alright now?”

The surprise in his heart had already faded in the past few steps, now only leaving confusion.

Could it be there’s a Spirit Pill capable of resolving my palm force?

This is almost impossible.

Li Hongzhao nodded slightly, a cold expression, ”I’m alright, thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Feng.”

”Hehe... After all, we are of the same root and branch, not enemies, so I came,” he took out a small porcelain bottle from his chest pocket, ”This is the Green Blood Pill, it can alleviate injuries.”

He smiled, ”I’ll operate my martial arts to assist you, and your injury can be healed.”

Li Hongzhao hummed softly, ”I appreciate Senior Brother Feng’s kindness, but there’s no need. My injury is already healed.”

The graceful young woman who had spoken to Chu Zhiyuan earlier said harshly, ”Feng Nanyun, you’re too arrogant, do you think we can’t deal with you?!”

Feng Nanyun sighed, ”Junior Sister Qiao, I truly came with good intent; your words are really hurtful.”

”Hurt what heart!” the graceful young woman snapped, ”Your little crafty schemes, as if we don’t know? A good intention? Pfft!”

”Sigh—!” Feng Nanyun shook his head, sighing, ”We are of the same root and branch...”

”Who’s giving you same root and branch,” the graceful young woman cut him off with a pout, ”Wishful thinking!”

Li Hongzhao said, ”Senior Brother Feng, I’ve gained some insight, shall we have another match?”

”Another match?” Feng Nanyun seemed confused, as if he misheard, ”Junior Sister Li, you said you want to compete again?”

Li Hongzhao said coldly, ”Senior Brother Feng, are you afraid?”

”Hehe...” Feng Nanyun laughed, ”I wouldn’t take advantage of others’ difficulties. Next time, let’s have a match tomorrow in the grand competition; it’s not too late.”

”Senior Brother Feng is truly cautious,” Li Hongzhao smirked coldly, ”Knowing when to retreat, this skill is truly admirable.”

”Junior Sister Li!” A young man behind Feng Nanyun frowned and said, ”We came with good intentions to help treat your injury, but you mock us so coldly; it’s truly discouraging. If you want to compete with Senior Brother Feng, why not have a match with me first?”

Li Hongzhao glanced at him sideways, ”Senior Brother Zhao, you—? Just forget about it.”

The young man said in a deep voice, ”Junior Sister Li, do you look down on me?”

”Indeed, you’re not my match,” Li Hongzhao shook her head.

”Then why not give it a try.”

”Fine.” Li Hongzhao advanced gracefully, ”Senior Brother Zhao, please!”

Feng Nanyun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her, ”Wait, Junior Sister Li, I came this time to help with healing, not for a fight. Truly, it’s not too late to wait for a match a year later in the grand competition.”

”I can’t wait for that,” Li Hongzhao huffed, ”I just want to win back this one right away.”

Feng Nanyun chuckled, ”Junior Sister Li, you’re just new; without enough accumulation, losing to me isn’t shameful.”

Li Hongzhao suddenly chuckled softly, ”Senior Brother Feng, you truly are cautious!”

Feng Nanyun obviously noticed something’s up and didn’t want to take the bait, preferring to wait to figure out the situation before committing.

This Feng Nanyun is very astute and doesn’t become arrogant because of high cultivation.

In this aspect, he is somewhat similar to Chu Zhiyuan.

Feng Nanyun smiled, ”Junior Sister Li, have you had some extraordinary encounter?”

”Indeed.” Li Hongzhao said, ”This time, misfortune turned to fortune; I’ve comprehended the Phoenix Divine Palm.”

Feng Nanyun laughed, ”Phoenix Divine Palm? The power of the Phoenix Divine Palm isn’t particularly strong, is it?”

”One trial will reveal the truth,” Li Hongzhao said.

”Senior Brother Feng, I’ll try,” the young man surnamed Zhao said in a deep voice.
