"By the way, when we came back, Yu Xiangtian appeared and asked us a strange question."
Ancestor Scarlet Flame suddenly said, "He asked us if Young Master was the illegitimate son of a powerhouse in the Golden City."
"How did you answer?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"Hehe, although your Big Brother Scarlet Flame's brain is a bit slow, Qinglian is extremely smart.
She realized in an instant that this might be your plan.
Therefore, he gave an ambiguous answer. "
Ancestor Scarlet Flame chuckled, "She said, 'If you want to know, you can ask our Golden Emperor directly.'
This sentence blocked Yu Xiangtian's mouth.
Yu Xiangtian seemed to be very afraid of the Golden Emperor, so he didn't ask again. "
"Sister Qinglian answered very well.
There's nothing I can do about this.
Because you've been captured, I have to make sure that they don't dare to act rashly against us.
So I lied, saying that I have a relationship with a powerhouse second only to the Golden Emperor in the Golden City.
That Yu Xiangtian is really a suspicious person. "
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "But no matter how suspicious he is, he can only half-believe and half-doubt this kind of thing that can't be proven.
As long as we don't do anything too excessive.
He definitely won't do anything bad to us. "
"Actually, it's not a lie."
Qinglian Swordswoman suddenly said, "Your grandfather, our Master, used to have a position in the Golden City.
It was the State Preceptor!
His status was extremely high. Even the Golden Sovereign had to be respectful to him.
The current State Preceptor was also promoted by your grandfather.
He is also very grateful to your grandfather.
So, you don't have to lie. "
"I didn't know that my background was so big?"
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly. His grandfather really did a lot of things for him.
He paved a lot of roads.
"For the time being, let's not use this background. I still want to put more pressure on myself.
This way, I can devote myself to cultivation. "
"Of course, but Young Master, what are you going to do next?"
Qinglian Swordswoman asked.
"Let's get in touch with Sister Jiaojiao first.
I'm very confused now. Was she possessed, or did she choose to change herself?
Or maybe something else happened to her.
No matter what, I have to help her.
Thus, I plan to stay in the Yu Family for a while longer.
That Yu Xiangtian is also very welcoming, because I have the Demonic Epiphyllum on me, which is something that he is looking forward to obtaining. "
Ling Xiao said.
"That's the only way!"
Green Lotus Swordswoman nodded.
Based on the current situation, the Yu Family's strength was greater than they had imagined.
It was impossible to snatch it by force.
He could only take it one step at a time.
"When are you going to see your sister?"
Green Lotus Swordswoman asked again.
"Yu Qilien told me to go to the Yu Clan's meeting hall tomorrow.
Because of my special identity, I have the backing of the Golden City and the identity of Ling Jiaojiao's younger brother.
He even grasped the Heavenly Demon Dutchman's Flower.
The higher-ups of the Yu Family all want to see me.
Hmph, I know very well what these people are up to. "
Ling Xiao said coldly.
"They just want to force you to hand over the Heavenly Demon Dutchman's Flower.
Or they might use Ling Jiaojiao's name to ask for the Demonic Epiphyllum.
You just have to hold onto one principle.
That is, no matter what, the Demonic Epiphyllum can't be given away. That's enough. "
Green Lotus Swordswoman suggested.
"En! I know, this Demonic Epiphyllum is a huge bargaining chip in my hand!
This bargaining chip is more useful than any big backer or the identity of Ling Jiaojiao's younger brother. "
Ling Xiao was actually the clearest in his heart.
The Demonic Epiphyllum was his strongest trump card.
It was a strategic deterrent nuclear weapon.
The Yu Family wanted this thing, but they were afraid that he would use it. They would definitely not provoke him easily.
This was his opportunity.
"Oh right, Young Master, are you interested in being a Demon Venerable?"
Patriarch Scarlet Flame laughed.
"A Demon Venerable can still be a Demon Venerable?"
Ling Xiao was stunned.
"Of course not. After the Demon Venerable of the Fengdu Demon Kingdom was killed.
There must be someone who wants to fill this vacancy.
According to the rules of the Heavenly Demon Ghost.
When the Demon Venerable of a certain country dies, it will naturally be replaced by the martial artists of this country.
But there is an interesting restriction here.
The Demon Venerable candidate can't be older than 30 years old.
His strength can't be weaker than a ninth level Divine Core warrior. "
"I'm old enough, but my cultivation base isn't enough."
Ling Xiao said with a bitter smile, "Big brother Scarlet Flame, you know that I'm only a Mid Seventh level Divine Core warrior.
Besides, I'm not a martial artist of the Fengdu Demon Kingdom, I'm not qualified to participate.
But Chi Niming is qualified.
I just don't know if he can make it back in time. " “
"You're right."
Patriarch Scarlet Flame scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm just stunned by young master's strength."
"Big brother Scarlet Flame, you're really good at praising people."
Ling Xiao lightly shook his head and said, "Alright, let's stop joking around. I'll deal with sister Jiaojiao.
But, I can't do it alone.
Therefore, I'll have to trouble you two seniors to help me.
Of course, before that, I'll have to treat your injuries.
I guess the reason why Yu Xiangtian let you go is because he thinks you won't be able to recover in a short period of time.
But too bad, he doesn't know that I'm an alchemist, and a very powerful one at that!
You guys just wait here, I'll go to the Fengdu City and get some herbs. "
Ling Xiao knew that although everything seemed calm on the surface, he had killed so many warriors from the Yu family.
On the surface, the Yu family wouldn't do anything to him, but there would definitely be a lot of people who would try to trip him up behind his back.
Therefore, he had to become stronger, and at the same time, he had to help Patriarch Scarlet Flame and Azure Lotus Swordswoman recover their strength.
They had to break through their original strength!
Only then would it be safer.
"Young master, the Fengdu City isn't safe, why don't you let us follow you?"
Azure Lotus Swordswoman said.
"Don't worry, I have a way."
Ling Xiao wasn't afraid of ordinary troubles.
The main reason was because he had suppressed ten Giant Devils in the Black Blood Pearl.
Nine of them had reached the Peak Heavenly Core realm.
One of them had even reached the Mid Extreme Core realm.
As long as he didn't run into any powerful enemies, even if Yu Qiong came looking for trouble, he would be able to deal with them.
After saying that, Ling Xiao turned around and left.
When he arrived at the Fengdu City, Ling Xiao started searching the herb stores one by one.
He didn't know if he could find the herbs he was looking for.
All he could do was try his best.
Those two were injured because of him.
Also, after they recovered, they would be of great help to him.
Too bad, although the number of herb stores in the Fengdu City wasn't any less than those in the Fighting Soul Sacred City.
There were also plenty of herbs.
But, the herbs Ling Xiao needed were too rare.
After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find anything.
But, he found something strange.
There were actually a lot of Alchemists in the Fengdu City.
Others might not be able to tell, but he could tell at a glance.
Because these Alchemists all had a unique aura.
Almost every one of them had one or two Heavenly Flames that were used to concoct pills.
