Taoist Huolong obviously had a big prejudice against Xiaopang. He didn't completely believe what he said, so he personally went to check the body of Fengming Old Demon, and finally frowned and said: "Fengming Old Demon's three limbs were broken, the Dantian acupoint was pierced, and even his Nascent Soul was destroyed. With such injuries, even if he didn't fight, he might not live long, but he still fought bravely, but he couldn't gather the huge scattered spiritual energy, causing his meridians to be destroyed, and even his bones were shattered!"
Obviously, the Fire Dragon Taoist mistook the injury caused by the sound wave for a demonic possession. In fact, it was no wonder that he did that. After all, the two injuries were very similar. In addition, there were no musical instruments around, so he naturally would not think of the sound attack skill. So this led to a beautiful misunderstanding. The worried Xiaopang also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ha!" Upon hearing this, the dean flew into a rage. He pointed at the foundation-building cultivator on the ground and angrily cursed, "Just a dying bastard scared you into pissing your shit out of you and running away from the battlefield. You left my daughter and the little fat boy here. You, you, you are so courageous!"
Obviously, since Hongying's safety was at stake, the dean was really angry.
The foundation-building cultivator was frightened half to death. He shouted hurriedly, "Master, calm down. We really didn't know that the old demon Fengming was at the end of his strength. You didn't see how terrifying he was at that time. The Fengming knife flashed by, and the magic weapons of the four of us were destroyed. If it weren't for nephew Song Zhong using a big bronze bell to protect us, I'm afraid we would have all been killed on the spot!"
"What?" Without waiting for the dean to speak, Taoist Huolong suddenly asked loudly, "Are you saying that the little fat guy has a big bronze bell? And it also blocked the spiritual treasure Fengming Knife?"
"Yes!" The foundation-building cultivator nodded hurriedly and said, "That bell may look insignificant, but it's really powerful! The Fengming Sword was even bounced back!"
"Hmm?" When Taoist Huolong heard this, his face suddenly changed. He immediately glared at Little Fatty fiercely, and then said grimly: "Okay, Little Fatty, sell me a broken iron bell, and you still have a big copper bell! How many bells do you have?"
"This?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Pang said with a bitter face, "My dear uncle, these two bells are actually junk and worthless!"
"You can exchange worthless junk for a set of Five Elements Spirit Swords of mine. How can you be so capable!" Taoist Fire Dragon said angrily.
After hearing this, Xiaopang didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, the dean suddenly coughed twice at this time. "Ahem! Junior brother, the matter of the iron bell has passed, so let's not mention it again, okay?"
"Okay, the iron bell incident is in the past, I won't mention it anymore, but now a bronze bell has popped up, I want to see it!" Taoist Huolong then sneered, "I wonder if you, little fat guy, will give me a favor?"
How could Xiaopang not give face to a Yuanying cultivator? Although he was unwilling, he could only helplessly take out the big bronze bell and put it on the ground.
Taoist Fire Dragon used his divine sense to scan it and found that it was just an ordinary wind copper bell. In fact, there was an unknown treasure hidden inside, but that thing seemed to be of too high a grade and had the power of automatic protection. So even if Taoist Fire Dragon's divine sense scanned it, he didn't find anything.
When Taoist Huolong saw that he had not found anything, he could not help but frown. But Xiaopang did not know what was going on. He was already very nervous at this time, fearing that the other party would find the treasure that he had not yet hidden.
At this time, the dean and his wife also completed the investigation. The dean couldn't help but say: "It's really strange, how can an ordinary bronze bell block the Fengming Knife?"
"Perhaps the old demon Fengming has exhausted his spiritual power. As a result, the power of the Fengming Sword has been greatly reduced. After destroying the four magic weapons, it is no longer able to break the bronze bell?" The dean's wife guessed.
"That may not be the case!" Taoist Fire Dragon suddenly lowered his head and sneered, "There are bloodstains on the ground, and two deep footprints, as if someone caught something heavy!" As he spoke, he looked at the foundation-building cultivator on the ground with a puzzled look.
The foundation-building cultivator was very tactful and quickly replied, "Song Zhong caught the large bronze bell that was chopped off by the Fengming Knife, which left the mark!"
"Oh, really?" Taoist Huolong's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "From the traces, the force carried by this big bronze bell is quite strong, and it should all be borne by the Fengming Sword. But the problem is that the Fengming Sword is extremely sharp, and it is not difficult for it to penetrate a bronze bell. And the force shown in the traces is enough for it to penetrate the big bronze bell and kill you! But in the end, the Fengming Sword failed to penetrate the bronze bell. What does this mean?"
"It means that the big bronze bell is stronger than we thought, so it blocked the Fengming sword, which made all the force on it act on the big bronze bell, causing it to crash back and injure Little Fatty Dun!" The dean immediately came to his senses and said strangely, "But this big bronze bell is placed here, why don't we see anything strange? It's only four or five feet thick, it definitely shouldn't be so strong!"
"Hehe, unless we haven't discovered the secrets hidden inside!" Taoist Huolong then looked at Xiaopang with a sly smile and said, "Boy, you really have a lot of secrets!"
When Xiao Pang heard this, he was shocked, but he quickly came to his senses. He remained calm and said, "Master, you are too kind. I don't have any secrets. This is actually a broken copper bell, just like the iron bell last time!"
"Is that true?" Taoist Huolong narrowed his eyes and said with murderous intent. Obviously, he remembered the last time he was deceived by Xiaopang, so he couldn't help but get angry.
"Really, really, what I said is true!" Xiao Pang then put on a cunning look and said with a sinister smile: "If you don't believe it, why don't you buy it back?"
"Get lost!" When Taoist Huolong heard this, he immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Only a bastard would buy it! Don't even think about deceiving me again!"
Obviously, Huolong Taoist was once bitten by a snake, so he was afraid of the rope for ten years! Having been fooled once, he was now careful everywhere, even though the performance of the big bronze bell was really extraordinary this time, and there were many doubts. But Huolong Taoist had a preconceived idea and believed that this was all a trick of Xiaopang, and thought that Xiaopang was going to repeat the same trick this time, so he got angry on the spot.
But in fact, what the Fire Dragon Taoist didn't know was that after he cursed, Xiao Pang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, his precious big bronze bell was hidden inside. If it was bought by the Fire Dragon Taoist, he would not have time to cry. Fortunately, the Fire Dragon Taoist was stupid and missed such an opportunity in vain.
Seeing Taoist Huolong speaking so rudely, the headmaster's wife couldn't help but said coldly, "Junior brother, please be more polite!"
"Hmph!" Taoist Huolong knew he was in the wrong, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking. He just scanned the cave and looked at the body of the old demon Fengming from time to time, as if he was looking for something.
Seeing this, the dean and his wife naturally knew what he was thinking. He was clearly looking for the spiritual treasure, the Fengming Sword. It was just that he had just scolded Xiaopang and was embarrassed to ask, so he was just pretending.
The dean and his wife were naturally interested in the Fengming Sword, but they had not mentioned it until now because they were worried about comforting their beloved daughter. Now that their daughter was fine, they were relieved, so they had the desire to hunt for treasure again.
The headmaster's wife patted Hongying twice, then smiled and said, "My dear Ying'er, have you ever seen the spiritual treasure Fengming Sword that the old demon Tu Qiancheng used?"
When Taoist Huolong heard the dean's wife asking the question, he immediately stopped searching and pricked up his ears to listen.
"Hehe, mother, look!" Hongying smiled triumphantly, and then immediately took out the Fengming Sword as if presenting a treasure.
In fact, when the three Nascent Soul cultivators first came in, the Fengming Sword had appeared and protected Hongying from the strong wind they brought. But it appeared for too short a time and was taken away by Hongying in a flash. In addition, everyone focused their attention on the powerful enemy Fengming Old Demon, so they didn't pay much attention to Hongying, and as a result, they didn't see it.
Now that the Fengming Sword appeared again, the three of them were all high-level cultivators who had fought against it before, so they naturally recognized it at a glance.
"Oh my, the spiritual treasure Fengming Sword!" The headmaster's wife immediately said in surprise: "It recognizes you as its master?"
"Yes!" Hong Ying said excitedly: "After the old demon Fengming died, it drilled into the sea of consciousness between my eyebrows. It scared me at that time!"
"That is the process of the spiritual treasure recognizing its master. It should be teaching you how to use it, right?" The dean also asked in surprise.
"That's right!" Hong Ying said excitedly: "Feng Ming Dao, give me a set of spells!"
"That's right!" The dean and his wife laughed together.
The family of three was talking and laughing, very happy. But the Taoist Fire Dragon was very depressed. You know, he had the most disciples in this mission, and three of the four magic weapons destroyed were from his line. As a result, after this incident, they got the spiritual treasure and the lost treasure from the old demon Fengming. But he didn't make any money, but lost three magic weapons in vain! How could he not be depressed?
Thinking of this, Taoist Huolong couldn't hold it in any longer, and coughed twice, saying to Xiaopang: "Xiaopang, besides the Fengming Knife, there should be something else left on the body of Fengming Old Demon, right? For example, a storage ring!" As he spoke, his eyes swept across the remaining right hand of Fengming Old Demon. On one of the fingers, there was a clear mark left, which was left by wearing a ring for many years. Judging from the mark, the ring on it was taken off not long ago.
Xiaopang cursed the old fox Fire Dragon Taoist in his heart for being able to see this. He originally wanted to keep it a secret, but now it seems that this plan has failed. Since others have seen it, Xiaopang dared not lie, so he took out the storage ring and said, "The old demon Fengming only has this storage ring, and nothing else, really!"
"Really?" Taoist Huolong took the storage ring with doubt, and then said: "As far as I know, the old demon Fengming has committed countless murders and robbed countless cultivators. His family is extremely wealthy. How could he not have a magic weapon with him?"
"Maybe they blew themselves up while running for their lives!" Xiaopang shrugged.
"Yeah!" Taoist Huolong thought it made sense, so he stopped talking and used his spiritual sense to check the contents of the storage ring. It didn't matter what he saw, but he almost died of anger after seeing it. There were only a few things in the ring, not to mention that it was inconsistent with the identity of Fengming Lao Mo Yuanying cultivator, even if he was a Jindan cultivator, I'm afraid it would be better than this!
After seeing the things in the ring, Huolong Taoist's first reaction was that Xiaopang had embezzled them. He immediately flew into a rage and asked, "Why are there only so few things in here? Did you hide them?"
Xiao Pang was startled and was about to explain, but the dean on the side said first: "Huolong, the things belong to others. It's none of your business whether they hide them or not."
"What do you mean by his?" Taoist Huolong immediately said unhappily, "Old Demon Fengming died because of overexertion after being seriously injured. Everyone present has contributed to this. Why should he be the only one to benefit from it?"
"Because he didn't flee!" The dean immediately roared righteously, "I never thought you would be so shameless. Your disciple is as cowardly as a mouse, running away without a fight, and you even have the nerve to fight for the spoils! Can you at least have some shame?"
"Ahem!" Taoist Huolong coughed twice with a hint of embarrassment, then said resolutely: "Brother, those useless people in my family did have their faults, but no matter what, it was they who risked their lives to cultivate the magic weapons that protected everyone and prevented the old demon Fengming from killing your daughter with one sword, right? Now Hongying has obtained the spiritual treasure Fengming Sword, which is her good fortune. We have nothing to say, but we can't let the disciple who saved her life sacrifice his magic weapon in vain without getting any benefit, right?"
Seeing Taoist Huolong say this, the headmaster's wife also came over and frowned and said, "Brother, what you said does make some sense. However, no matter what, it was Xiaopang who risked his life to stay and fight with the old demon Fengming, which eventually led to the death of this monk. This is equivalent to saving your disciple's life. Therefore, Xiaopang has the greatest contribution and should take the lion's share. Do you have any objection?"
"But he didn't suffer any losses, but my disciples destroyed three magic weapons in a row!" Taoist Fire Dragon said anxiously.
"Whether there are losses or not is actually secondary. The key is people's hearts!" The headmaster's wife sneered, "One fought bravely, and the other fled. If we reward the latter and let the former suffer, who will fight desperately in the future?"
"This..." Taoist Huolong was speechless after hearing this, and could only say: "Well, let this fat guy take the biggest share. But before that, I hope he can take out all the spoils! Then we can divide them slowly!"
After hearing this, the dean said without even looking at it, "These are the spoils of war, take them or not!
