Qi Hongxuan took back the cup and drank it himself. He said, "Although my brother shouldn't have coveted your things, it wasn't rational for you to kill him like that."
Xiao Lingyu only smiled and didn't say anything.
"Although our Kun City's Qi family can't represent the Duhu City's Qi family, my brother Qi Hongli is still a member of the Duhu City's Qi family. The elders of the Duhu City's Qi family have also expressed that as long as they find you, they'll definitely take action," Qi Hongxuan added.
"Brother Qi, are you here to remind me to leave Duhu City quickly?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"No, I'm here to discuss a deal with you. If you cooperate with me, I can guarantee that the Duhu City's Qi family won't touch you." Qi Hongxuan shook his head.
"What deal?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"Help me kill someone," Qi Hongxuan said calmly.
Qi Hongxuan said calmly, "This person is my second brother. His name is Qi Hongbin, and he's a cultivation madman. His talent is also very high. For many years, my eldest brother has helped my father manage the family business, while my second brother has focused on cultivation. His talent is already extraordinary, and with my Qi family's wealth, he has already reached the peak of the late Heavenly God realm. He's only half a step away from the Divine Monarch realm."
"I'm very curious. Why do you want me to help you kill your second brother?" Xiao Lingyu rubbed his nose and asked.
"As for why, Brother Xiao doesn't need to know. However, as long as Brother Xiao can kill him, I can help Brother Xiao completely break away from the threat of the Qi Family. Moreover, I can also give Brother Xiao a generous reward," Qi Hongxuan said after drinking another cup of wine.
"From the looks of it, the death of your big brother, Qi Hongli, was most likely part of your scheme. I was merely used by you. And now, you want to use me again," Xiao Lingyu sneered.
"Brother Xiao, you're overthinking it. This isn't using you, it's cooperation." Qi Hongxuan shook his head.
"What if I don't want to cooperate with you?" Xiao Lingyu asked bluntly.
"Then, Brother Xiao can only wait for the Qi family to come after him. Even if Brother Xiao starts running now, I don't think he will be able to outrun the Qi family," Qi Hongxuan said in a threatening tone.
"You probably didn't expect that I would be able to escape from Kun City, right?" Xiao Lingyu said fearlessly.
"Actually, Brother Xiao, you can consider my earlier proposal. This will be beneficial to both of us," Qi Hongxuan said, unwilling to give up.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head firmly and said, "I can let you use me once because I didn't think of this at that time, but I definitely won't let you use me again."
Since he had killed a Young Master of the Qi Family, the Qi Family would never let him go. If he killed another one, he didn't believe that Qi Hongxuan would be able to settle this matter.
Qi Hongli wanted his second brother to die as well, but his father, Qi Zhenghao, definitely didn't want that.
"If that's the case …"
As Qi Hongxuan spoke, he suddenly slapped his palm towards Xiao Lingyu's face.
This palm strike was very powerful. Just the gust of wind that it brought out was already as sharp as a knife.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu didn't trust Qi Hongxuan. He was also prepared for Qi Hongxuan to suddenly attack him. Therefore, when Qi Hongxuan attacked, Xiao Lingyu immediately raised his palm to meet the attack.
Xiao Lingyu wasn't even afraid of a Divine Monarch Stage powerhouse, let alone Qi Hongxuan who didn't seem to have the cultivation of a Divine Monarch.
Bang …
The two palms collided fiercely, and the strong impact caused the rock they were sitting on to explode into dust.
However, what surprised Xiao Lingyu was that he didn't hold back in his attack. Generally speaking, even a Divine Monarch Stage cultivator would be at a disadvantage when facing his attack. However, Qi Hongxuan who didn't seem to have reached the Divine Monarch Stage retreated almost the same distance as him.
In other words, Qi Hongxuan's physical strength wasn't inferior to Xiao Lingyu's.
Xiao Lingyu's strength was great because of his high quality body. Moreover, he had many high-level Divine Beast bloodlines fused together. It was impossible for ordinary human cultivators to be as special as him. How could Qi Hongxuan be so strong?
At this moment of the battle, Qi Hongxuan naturally wouldn't explain anything to Xiao Lingyu. However, he was also shocked by Xiao Lingyu's strength.
"I didn't expect Brother Xiao to advance to the Divine Monarch Stage in such a short time."
Qi Hongxuan first praised and then said, "Let's try again!"
They were both surprised by each other's strength, so they naturally wanted to fight again.
When Qi Hongxuan attacked, Xiao Lingyu naturally didn't have the slightest fear. He immediately used all his strength to meet Qi Hongxuan's attack.
However, when the two palms collided this time, black poisonous smoke gushed out from Qi Hongxuan's palm.
Xiao Lingyu first cursed and then prepared to retreat. However, he didn't expect that the black poisonous smoke would crazily drill into his body. Even if he had a physical defense comparable to a high-grade Divine Artifact, he couldn't stop the poisonous smoke from invading his body.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu also had a highly toxic body. His body contained a powerful poison. Even though the poisonous smoke was more ferocious than the poison in his body, he could still temporarily suppress it, preventing it from destroying his body.
However, Xiao Lingyu's state was greatly restricted. The poisonous smoke that filled his body not only constantly attacked his sea of consciousness, but also blocked his meridians and seeped into his dantian at the same time.
"How can he hide such a powerful poisonous flame in his body? Is it because he was enveloped by the Poison Heart Lotus?" Xiao Lingyu was surprised.
Qi Hongxuan obviously didn't have the strength of a Divine Monarch, but he could already face a Divine Monarch with the help of the poisonous smoke and the strength of his body.
"Brother Qi, if you have such strength, you can kill your own second brother. Why do you need to invite me?" Xiao Lingyu asked in confusion as he suppressed the poisonous smoke.
Qi Hongxuan didn't rush to attack. Instead, he smiled and said, "He is my second brother after all. Although I want him dead, I can't do it myself. If I do, I will be betraying the clan. The Qi family won't let me go. Most importantly, I don't want to expose my strength for the time being. So, is Brother Xiao willing to cooperate with me now? "
Xiao Lingyu still shook his head and said, "You would even murder your own brother. I don't feel at ease cooperating with someone like you."
Qi Hongxuan maintained his smile and said, "Sometimes, I have no choice."
Xiao Lingyu replied, "No matter whether you have a choice or not, don't drag others into it."
"Since Brother Xiao says so, I'm afraid we can't be friends in the future," Qi Hongxuan said regretfully.
"Haha, do you think you've ever treated me as a friend, or do you think I've ever treated you as a friend?" Xiao Lingyu said nonchalantly.
"Brother Xiao, you're a straightforward person. However, you should be careful in the future. I'm very surprised that you were able to suppress the poisonous smoke. I originally hoped that the poisonous smoke would be able to capture you, but it seems that it's impossible now. However, as long as there is a trace of the poisonous smoke in your body, I can find you at any time. The next time I see you, you might not be alone. Brother Xiao, if you want to leave Du Hu City, please think about the Yueru first. "
As Qi Hongxuan spoke, he flew in the direction of Du Hu City.
Xiao Lingyu naturally wouldn't let Qi Hongxuan leave so easily. However, as soon as he took out the Yin Yang Mirror, before the four monsters could appear, Qi Hongxuan suddenly turned into a black rainbow and disappeared at an astonishing speed.
Xiao Lingyu's expression was a little ugly. Qi Hongxuan's last sentence made him worry for Yueru.
Yueru was still in the Qi Family. If he fled in fear of being hunted down by the Qi Family, would the Qi Family make things difficult for Yueru?
Everything had nothing to do with Yueru. If she was implicated because of this, would he be able to feel at ease even if he managed to escape?
However, if he didn't leave, how could he face the Qi Family's experts?
Xiao Lingyu wasn't afraid if they were only Divine Monarchs. However, if the Qi Family sent Divine King experts, he could only hide in the Eight-Legged Taichi Cauldron to save his life.
"No matter what, at least I have a way to save my life. Even if I'm trapped in the cauldron, it's better than running away like a coward!"
"Moreover, Divine King experts won't be sent out casually."
"As long as I'm in Du Hu City, even Divine King experts won't dare to attack me directly."
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lingyu decided to stay in Du Hu City.
However, before entering the city, he sent a message to Xiong Meng and asked where they were.
When they parted ways, Xiong Meng and the others went to the VIP building to celebrate. After drinking some wine, they went to the opposite side of the building to meditate and rest. They were still in the shop.
After Xiao Lingyu put away his Communication Bead, he entered Du Hu City. It took him a few hours to squeeze into the shop opposite the VIP building.
When he saw Xiong Meng and the others again, Xiao Lingyu said, "I've changed my mind. I've decided to stay with you and build a mercenary group that is as strong as the Tian Chi Iron Armor Squad!"
"Haha, that's great! We were still hesitating whether or not we should go to the Guan Family's mercenary group. Now that Senior Xiao is willing to stay, we don't have to think about it anymore!" Xiong Meng laughed heartily.
"What I'm curious about is, what made Brother Xiao change his mind?" Miss Jing asked in a serious tone.
"As Zhang Hai said, it's really lonely to travel alone in the Divine World. I suddenly want to find a few helpers."
Xiao Lingyu explained with a smile, "Of course, I don't want to use you or order you around. I just feel that I can get along well with you, so I want to travel with you for a while. If the road is not smooth, I'm willing to be the vanguard."
"Hehe, we believe in Senior Xiao!" Xiong Meng said with a silly smile.
"Brother Xiao, you already know about our plan. Do you have any plans for your return this time?" Miss Jing asked again.
