"Leave Desolate City within three days. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you."
After Chu Chaoyun said this, he did not stay any longer. His figure flashed, and a sword of light appeared under his feet. Then, he quickly disappeared into the night.
As Xiao Chen watched Chu Chaoyun leave, a shadow appeared in his heart. He had already been very careful. Unexpectedly, Chu Chaoyun still managed to find him.
If Chu Chaoyun could find him, then those people who wanted to cause trouble for him would definitely be able to find him as well. It looked like he could not stay in Desolate City for long.
The Spiritual Energy in Desolate City was much denser than outside. Xiao Chen had originally intended to stay for a few more days. Now, it looked like he could only leave early.
Xiao Chen pushed off the wall of the courtyard and left. This courtyard could only be abandoned.
Not long after Xiao Chen left, a few cultivators dressed in black nimbly jumped into the courtyard. When they saw the rubble, it was clear that the house had been burned down.
The leader of the group revealed heavy suspicion in his eyes. He muttered, "This brat is really cautious. The moment we arrived, he burned down his house and spent a lot of money to buy the information from the Wind Chasing Sect. Yet, he wasted it."
The eyes of the person at the side hid a heavy murderous intent. He said coldly, "It just so happens that he is about to leave Desolate City. It will be easier for us to make a move after he leaves."
The leader of the black-clothed men smiled and said, "City Lord Gao is right. It would be too conspicuous to make a move in the city. It is better to leave the city. Let's return to our Holy Fire Manor branch first to discuss the details."
Gao Yangyu said indifferently, "There is no need. Since I agreed to cooperate with you, I will not act alone. Just send someone to inform me when the time comes."
Gao Yangyu's words were filled with pride. He did not care about the Holy Fire Manor at all. After he spoke, he left.
Leng Yun looked at the black-clothed men and asked, "Uncle Qin, is this person reliable? What if he makes a move on us?"
Old Qin smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry. He lost all his fortune to Xiao Chen and hates him to the bone. With Xiao Chen's current strength, he will not be able to stop him alone. He will have to cooperate with us."
Leng Yun said somewhat gloomily, "However, this fellow's attitude is really unpleasant. He asked for fifty percent of the harvest the moment he opened his mouth. If not for Father not agreeing to us making a move, how could he have the chance to speak like that?"
Old Qin smiled and said, "Don't bother about him. After all, he was once an influential figure in the southern islands. Give him some face."
Xiao Chen was not very interested in the Spirit Stones on Xiao Chen. He only wanted to snatch back that peak Demon Core and open his sea of consciousness to advance to Martial Monarch.
When Xiao Chen advanced to Martial Monarch, he would be able to obtain as many Medial Grade Spirit Stones as he wished. He was very clear on what was more important.
As for the operation failing, that was impossible. Two half-step Martial Monarchs and ten-odd Superior Grade Martial Kings were more than enough to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
The next morning, Xiao Chen walked out of an inn in Barren City. He wanted to eat something and then leave Barren City.
As for where he was going, he had already made up his mind long ago. As of now, his state of massacre was still too weak. He wanted to go to the Deep Sea Battlefield and refine his state of massacre there.
After that, he would return to the Great Qin Nation to settle some matters with the Xiao Clan. After that, he would go to the Imperial Capital and participate in the Five Nation Youth Competition that happened once every four years.
While one and a half years might seem like a lot, with this arrangement, Xiao Chen felt that it was not enough.
"Boss, bring me another five kilograms of the best wine in the inn. I do not have enough Thunder Ox beef. Give me another half."
Just as Xiao Chen descended the stairs, he heard a heroic cry. The Thunder Ox was a Rank 6 Spirit Beast.
Its meat was not only more delicious than ordinary beef, but it was also more chewy. After swallowing it, the fragrance would linger in the mouth.
That feeling was indescribably comfortable. The most important thing was that the Rank 6 Spirit Beast meat still contained some Spiritual Energy. Long-term consumption of it would be very beneficial to the physical body.
There were many benefits, but the price was ridiculously high. Anyone could afford to eat a few kilograms a day. However, eating half a head in one go was too extravagant.
Furthermore, based on the tone of the Thunder Ox, it sounded like it had already eaten half a head. Xiao Chen could not help but look over curiously.
Xiao Chen saw a stout man sitting by the window on the third floor. Beside a table that was larger than a regular table sat a stout man. He was drinking wine and eating meat in large mouthfuls.
This person looked very satisfied and comfortable. Xiao Chen found this person familiar. He turned to the side and looked. Indeed, it was Bai Lixi.
"Waiter, why are you so slow? This old man is about to die from your dawdling. If you still don't come, this old man will go to another place …"
Bai Lixi was halfway through his sentence when he saw Xiao Chen's appearance. He was startled and startled. He did not even manage to chew the piece of meat properly before he swallowed it.
The piece of meat was stuck in his throat, unable to move forward or backward. His expression was one of extreme pain. His earlier satisfied expression disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. Why did this fellow have such a big reaction when he saw me? There is no reason for this at all.
Bai Lixi gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine and smacked the meat a few times. Only then did the piece of meat sink down. Xiao Chen immediately relaxed.
"Brother Xiao, you are here. Come, sit, sit. Eat as much as you want. It's my treat."
Xiao Chen swept his gaze across the table. He was slightly stunned. What a fellow! Aside from the Rank 6 Thunder Ox, there were also other rare beasts on the table.
They were at least Rank 5 Spirit Beasts. Some flew in the sky and some crawled on the ground, filling the table.
Xiao Chen tore off a piece of deep purple Thunder Ox. The fragrant Thunder Ox was very tasty. He placed it in his mouth and chewed on it.
Bai Lixi smiled in a fawning manner and said, "How is it? Little Brother Xiao Chen, this beef is pretty good, right? Although this shop is small, in the entire southern district of Desolate City, this is the only place that dares to call itself the best. "
"Very good, it is very tasty!"
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He sized up Bai Lixi's attire. He wore a pair of black open-toed gloves.
On the surface, they looked like ordinary leather gloves. However, when Xiao Chen scanned them with his Spiritual Sense, he discovered several complicated talisman scripts.
Based on the complexity of the talisman scripts, they were at least Superior Grade Medial Grade Secret Treasures.
When Xiao Chen looked up, he saw a black talisman script necklace with a rhombus-shaped stone hanging at the end. With one look, he could tell that it was not an ordinary item.
Bai Lixi wore a blue inner vest under his jacket. A strong Spiritual Qi came from it. The inner vest was at least a Medial Grade Secret Treasure.
There were two black tiger shoulder pads on his shoulders. When Xiao Chen looked down, he saw that the shoes he wore were not ordinary either. There seemed to be two leg guards on his calves.
What a fellow! He had a set of Medial Grade Secret Treasures on him. With such a large sum of resources, just the value of these items would cost him tens of millions of Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
However, high-ranked Medial Grade Secret Treasures could not be bought with Spirit Stones. One would have to spend at least a few million Medial Grade Spirit Stones to make some connections and use some connections to obtain them.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He smiled faintly and said, "Old Bai, does your butt still hurt? I really did not do it on purpose last time."
Bai Lixi smiled magnanimously and said, "It's fine. It is just a small matter. I have long since stopped minding it. My butt is thick; it is fine to kick it a few more times."
Since when did he become so magnanimous? There is definitely something strange about this fellow. Xiao Chen put down his wine cup and said in a low voice, "Tell me the truth. When the all-in-all Victory Token was activated, the person who spent a large sum on me and forced Gao Yangyu into bankruptcy was you?"
Bai Lixi looked around cautiously. It seemed like he had expected Xiao Chen to ask this. He said, "It is not convenient to speak here. Come with me to the private room on the top floor." "Dong!
Dong! "
Bai Lixi casually tossed out a Medial Grade Spirit Stone and quickly led Xiao Chen to the top floor.
The two found a quiet private room and closed the doors and windows. After they verified that no one was eavesdropping, Bai Lixi told Xiao Chen everything that happened that day in full detail.
After Xiao Chen heard it, he felt somewhat shocked. Even though he already had some guesses, he was still astonished.
"You are too courageous. I really don't know where you got your courage from."
Bai Lixi chuckled and said, "From Qianren Island to the Demon Battlefield, everything that happened clearly shows that as long as I follow you, I will definitely benefit. Furthermore, I believe in your strength. At worst, if I lose, I will no longer mingle in the Ancient Desolate Land."
After that, Bai Lixi said somewhat embarrassedly, "I received news that Gao Yangyu went in and out of the Wind Chasing Sect several times. It seems like he is trying to find you. It seems like that fellow is determined to kill you and will no longer mingle in the Ancient Desolate Land."
Xiao Chen said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you. There is no need for you to blame yourself. Even if he did not seek trouble for me, I would seek trouble for him. Tell me, what kind of existence is the Wind Chasing Sect? "
Now, Xiao Chen finally understood why Bai Lixi had been so shocked when he saw Xiao Chen.
Bai Lixi nodded and said, "I knew that you would not mind. The Wind Chasing Sect is a neutral organization that seeks information. As long as you can afford it, you can obtain any information from them in the Ancient Desolate Land.
"However, don't worry. Even if you did not seek me out, I, Old Bai, intended to seek you out. In this Desolate City, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can avoid the eyes and ears of the Wind Chasing Sect. It is just that the price is higher. I have already made arrangements. We will be able to leave the city by nightfall. "
Xiao Chen thought for a while and knew that Bai Lixi was telling the truth. This inn was the closest inn to his courtyard.
It looked like it was not a coincidence that Xiao Chen met Bai Lixi here.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Don't move for now. Let me ask you, with your current strength and this set of Secret Treasures, how strong are you?"
Bai Lixi chuckled. Clearly, he was very satisfied with the treasures on him. He muttered, "I believe you know that there are strong and weak half-step Martial Monarchs. Normally, we divide half-step Martial Monarchs into three grades: Small Perfection, Great Perfection, and peak Consummation half-step Martial Monarch.
"Right now, when I use my full power, I am already as strong as a peak Small Perfection half-step Martial Monarch. I should be able to deal with five or six Small Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs like Gong Haoyu in one go."
Xiao Chen felt astonished. He could not tell that this fellow had relied on a stroke of luck to become a nouveau riche. Now, he was ahead of him due to a freak combination of factors.
When Xiao Chen first arrived at the Ancient Desolate Tower, his and Bai Lixi's strengths were about the same. Neither of them could do anything to the other.
Xiao Chen had fought bitterly along the way. Not to mention a narrow escape, he had put in thousands of times more effort than ordinary people to get to where he was now.
