When the two saw Fatty Cai and Xiao Dao, their expressions suddenly changed. They didn't dare to continue and ran away in a panic.
The two of them ran very fast. By the time Fatty Cai and Xiao Dao arrived, they had already disappeared.
Xiao Dao wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by Fatty Cai. "Don't worry about those two. Let's see how Desolate Land and Nine Dragons are doing. As long as they are in Linfu City, they won't be able to run away. We'll definitely find them again. "
Fatty Cai and Xiao Dao helped Desolate Land and Nine Dragons to the side with concern. Fatty Cai checked the two's condition and gritted his teeth.
"They were really ruthless. They wanted to beat you to death. What kind of grudge do they have with you?"
It was normal for cultivators to fight when they didn't agree with each other.
It was just that if there wasn't any deep hatred, they wouldn't risk their lives unless they were really angry.
Moreover, they were in Linfu City. It was obviously not good to do something like this in Linfu City.
Desolate Land smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We don't even know those two. We didn't offend them at all."
"It's just that we heard them scolding Qin Xiao too harshly, so we came to reason with them."
"Who knew that these two would be so rude and ruthless to us."
"Those two are extremely talkative. They are truly abominable." Even now, Nine Dragons was still unable to calm down.
He could only blame himself for not being strong enough. He was almost killed by them when he attacked.
But even if he died, he couldn't take it lying down.
Xiao Dao was also very angry after hearing this. He was very indignant. "Recently, rumors have been spreading all over Linfu City. Someone must be wantonly spreading such rumors behind Qin Xiao's back to slander him."
"Some people just want to watch the show. They dare to say anything. They can't wait for Brother Qin Xiao to be in trouble. They're really despicable."
Fatty Cai frowned slightly, looking thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother Desolate Land, why do I feel like something is wrong?"
Wrong?
The three from Desolate Land looked at Fatty Cai in confusion. What was wrong?
Desolate Land continued, "It's like this. Think about it. Even if the two of them insulted Qin Xiao, even if the two of you tried to reason with him, even if they were enraged, even if they started a fight with you, you still wouldn't be able to do anything. All of this can be explained reasonably. "
"But there's one thing that doesn't make sense. You said that both of them are first-step Empyreans, right?"
Desolate Land nodded. The two of them were indeed first-step Heavenly Venerables.
"So, even you guys didn't expect to be beaten up so badly, right? After all, among first-step Heavenly Venerables, your strength isn't considered strong, but it's definitely not weak either. At the very least, he should be above average. "
"So think about it. Do you really think that those two people are simple to deal with, to be able to torture you so badly?"
"If he's not a genius, then he must be someone who hides very deeply, or someone who has some means of harming others. But from your description, those two people who only know how to talk big don't seem to be capable people. Would a truly capable person run his mouth so unscrupulously on the side of the road?
”
"And what they said was like what a hooligan would say, and it just so happened that the two of you heard it. Don't you think that they said it on purpose to provoke you?"
After hearing Fatty Cai's words, Desolate Land and Nine Dragons were stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it did seem to be the case.
Otherwise, there were indeed some things that didn't make sense.
This was Linfu City, not the outside world. Because Linfu City had its own rules, it could be said that order was maintained very well.
The people in Linfu City wouldn't easily make a move, let alone kill someone.
Rashly killing someone was against the city's rules and would be punished. Who would dare to act recklessly?
But those two people dared to do so.
Fatty Cai's train of thought was getting smoother and smoother. He continued, "So, I want to ask if there's any deep hatred between you and those two people. Why did you let them do this?"
Desolate Land and Nine Dragons shook their heads. It was the first time they saw those two people, so they didn't think about it at all.
"But with my understanding of you, you wouldn't easily offend others. And this matter itself is strange, so it's even more thought-provoking. "
"So, I made a bold guess. Someone wanted to kill you. And those two people came with the purpose of killing you. "
"So, they just happened to appear next to you and say those words to infuriate you, provoking you to attack first. Then, when they counterattacked, they conveniently killed you and created a situation that seemed to be very reasonable."
"If Xiao Dao and I didn't happen to be here, I'm afraid you would have died in their hands by the time we arrived."
"But you don't know them, and you have no grudges with them. So, there's only one possibility if they want to kill you."
At this point, Fatty Cai's words became a little heavy.
Desolate Land and the other two naturally understood what Fatty Cai meant. They knew what he wanted to say.
There was indeed such a possibility, and it was very likely. At present, it seemed like it was very likely to be so.
"First, they spread the news that Qin Xiao died in the Boundless Li Territory. Now, they want to kill you. This method is really ruthless. This is an indirect revenge on Qin Xiao."
"Such vicious methods have been done a few times in the past. This time, it's just that it's more vicious."
"If they don't succeed this time, I'm afraid they will do it again in the future. So, the two of you have to be more careful in the future. "
"And Xiao Dao, you have to inform your Xin Huo Clan's people in Lin Fu City. Tell them to be more careful. It's also possible that the power behind this will target your Xin Huo Clan. "
"But with your Xin Huo Clan and Princess Xiao Yu around, I believe those people won't dare to act recklessly. But it's better to be safe than sorry. We still have to be careful."
Xiao Dao nodded seriously. Indeed, they had to be careful.
It seemed like this time, something big was really going to happen.
Now, they could only hope that Qin Xiao was fine and that Qin Xiao would return soon.
As long as Qin Xiao returned, all the dark clouds would disperse.
"Yi — —"
Just as Fatty Cai finished speaking, the four people's minds suddenly moved, and their faces suddenly surged with a strong sense of joy.
Because they just received a transmission. It was sent to them by Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao had returned and was about to enter Lin Fu City.
Before he arrived, they were already notified.
"Hahaha, it really feels like our wishes have come true. We were just talking about Qin Xiao. I didn't expect him to be back already. "
"Good, good, good. That's great. This is great. Now that Qin Xiao is back, all the schemes and machinations will fall apart on their own. "
"Let's go, let's go and welcome Qin Xiao."
"But — —"
Speaking of this, Fatty Cai said to the three people with a serious face, "I think it's better not to let Qin Xiao know about this."
"We know Qin Xiao's character. If he knows about this, he will definitely investigate to the end. He will find the two people and then find the person behind this."
"This matter is very likely to involve that person. If that person really exists, with Qin Xiao's character, I'm afraid he won't let it go so easily."
"So — —"
Desolate Land nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Fatty Cai. Even if you don't say it, Nine Dragons and I know what to do."
"Of course, we can't let Qin Xiao know about this. We can't let Qin Xiao have any trouble with that person because of us."
"In fact, it's nothing. It's just a small injury. You have to help us cover it up later. Let's just pretend that this matter didn't happen. "
Fatty Cai was not worried about Desolate Land and Nine Dragons. The only thing he was worried about was Xiao Dao. So he focused on Xiao Dao.
Xiao Dao did want to tell Qin Xiao about this matter. He didn't want to hide it from Qin Xiao.
But after hearing Fatty Cai's words, he also realized the seriousness of the problem, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Xiao Dao nodded to show that he understood. He would keep his mouth shut.
In the sky above Linfu City, a figure flew in the air and flew into the city.
The guards of the city naturally recognized the person. They respectfully welcomed him into Lin Fu City without stopping him.
Being able to fly in the sky above Lin Fu City was a symbol of status. It was a privilege that only a few people could enjoy.
As soon as Qin Xiao appeared in Lin Fu City, he immediately attracted countless gazes and countless heated discussions.
Qin Xiao was used to such a 'welcome'. Every time he came back, it was almost the same situation, so he didn't find it strange.
But this time, the momentum seemed to be even greater, and the heated discussions were also more intense.
Soon, Qin Xiao saw Fatty Cai and the other three.
It had already been eleven million years since he left. The time he spent this time was really long.
But what made Qin Xiao happy was that Fatty Cai and Xiao Dao had both broken through. They were exuding the aura of a Second Step Celestial Venerable. It was something worth celebrating.
Desolate Land and Nine Dragons were still in the First Step Celestial Venerable Realm, but the aura on their bodies was obviously much stronger. It seemed that their strength had improved a lot over the years.
But speaking of which, it was indeed not easy to break through to the Second Step Celestial Venerable Realm.
"Haha, Brother Qin Xiao, I knew you would be fine. You really didn't disappoint us." Fatty Cai greeted him with a smile.
Xiao Dao also looked excited as he shouted, "Big Brother Qin!"
Desolate Land and Nine Dragons came forward one after another. Seeing Qin Xiao return safely, they finally felt relieved.
It's good that he's fine. It's good that he's fine.
Ever since the rumor of Qin Xiao's death in the Boundless Territory spread in Lin Fu City, they had been very uneasy.
Now, they could finally let it go.
"Qin Xiao, you've broken through to the Third Step Celestial Venerable Realm?"
Desolate Land's eyes were sharp. He quickly discovered that Qin Xiao was already in the Third Step Celestial Venerable Realm.
Qin Xiao's aura was actually more restrained, and he didn't deliberately release his aura. So, if one's realm wasn't high, one would need to observe carefully to be able to discover it.
"Ah, you're really in the Third Step Celestial Venerable Realm. Hahaha, this is great news. "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Qin Xiao, you really bring us a big surprise every time you come back."
"Sigh, Xiao Dao and I have worked hard these years. It wasn't easy for us to break through to the Second Step Celestial Venerable Realm. We thought we had caught up to you."
