At the same time that Xiao Yan received the Emperor tier pill formula from Mo Di's hands in the auction house, two mysterious human figures also left the auction house one after another.
These two people were the black-robed man who had fought with Mo Di for the lightning invitation at the auction, and Old Demon Hu who had followed behind him.
After the black-robed man left the auction house, he hurriedly entered a small alley. His footsteps were light and quick, as though he was hiding from something. However, he also maintained a constant distance from the human figure who was following closely behind him, such that the latter would not lose him.
Old Demon Hu, who was following closely behind the black-robed man, involuntarily frowned when he sensed this. However, immediately after, the corner of his mouth revealed a smile of understanding. His body moved and he leaped forward to give chase.
Just like this, one chased while the other hurried. The two human figures tacitly maintained a distance of a hundred feet between them. Old Demon Hu was not anxious. His toes continuously tapped on the ground as his body shot forward and followed closely behind.
A moment later, Old Demon Hu saw that the end of the alley was a dead end. His calm face finally revealed a smile. The two human figures gradually paused their footsteps in unison.
Old Demon Hu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the black-robed man who was a hundred feet away from him. The corner of his mouth gradually lifted into a smile. He crossed his arms over his chest and laughed:
"Why aren't you running anymore?"
The black-robed man gently shook his head when he heard this. His hoarse voice was slowly emitted.
"You have already obtained the lightning invitation. Why are you still not letting me go?"
Old Demon Hu involuntarily laughed when he heard this. The corner of his mouth lifted into a disdainful arc. He looked at the black-robed man opposite him with a mocking smile and said coldly:
"You have lured the old me here. Why do you need to be so secretive? The others may not recognize you, but the old me can recognize that you are Yan Xiao!"
The black-robed man's expression involuntarily changed when these words were uttered. Surprise rose in his heart. Fortunately, with the cover of the black robe, Old Demon Hu could not see the change in his expression.
"Haha, you think too highly of me. That Yan Xiao is a three star Half Martial Emperor. At this moment, he is still in the auction house. As for me, I am merely a one star Half Martial Emperor. How can I be Yan Xiao?"
The pair of eyes under the black robe slowly narrowed into a thin line. The hoarse voice once again rang out. That voice caused one's heart to tremble.
"Doppelganger …"
The expression under the black robe instantly changed, and he frowned. He slowly raised his calm eyes and stared at Old Weirdo Hu.
"Clone, you are Yan Xiao's clone. I have seen that clone once before. His strength is that of a one star Half Martial Emperor. Yet, after you discovered that I was following you, you did not run away and instead deliberately led me here. This means that you are also very curious about me. Why did I not attack you the moment you left the auction house?"
Old Weirdo Hu stared at the black-robed man with a look of certainty. He had already determined that the black-robed man before him was definitely Xiao Yan!
"Heh …"
This time, a clear and faint laugh came from under the black robe. This caused the smile on Old Monster Hu's face to gradually become wider.
"I did not expect that I would still be recognized even though I have dressed up like this. I must say that your observation is really meticulous. If it was not for you, no one would be able to guess that I am Yan Xiao."
Xiao Yan, who was under the black robe, took off the hat on his head with one hand, revealing a delicate and pretty face. Although he had been recognized, he did not appear to be at a loss.
In any case, the auction had already ended. Even if Mo Di and the others knew that he was Xiao Yan, it was already too late. In addition, there was no evidence to prove that the black-robed man who had appeared in the auction house was Xiao Yan. Hence, they could not do anything to Xiao Yan.
Furthermore, Xiao Yan was currently accompanying Mo Di and the others in the auction house. Everyone present could testify that Mo Di could not do anything to Xiao Yan.
"Heh, indeed …"
Although he already knew the answer in his heart, Old Weirdo Hu could not help but laugh when he saw Xiao Yan appear.
Xiao Yan also smiled faintly when he heard this. He did not say anything unnecessary and went straight to the point.
"Tell me, why didn't you make a move after following me for so long? They must have a motive for letting you follow me. "
Old Weirdo Hu's lips curled into a smile as he stared at Xiao Yan. However, he did not answer the question and chuckled softly.
"Do you know why Yan Bing and Mu Han wanted to attack you?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows as he smiled faintly. He looked at Old Weirdo Hu with a slightly surprised gaze and said,
"Is it not because of Mo Di?"
Old Weirdo sneered when he heard this and said,
"Yes and no."
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. Although he had some guesses in his heart regarding this question, he still wanted to hear the most accurate answer.
"Although the killing intent in Yan Bing's eyes was not as intense as Mu Han's when he faced you, I believe that you were able to tell. The reason why he helped Mo Di deal with you was because you killed two of his capable subordinates. As far as I know, those two men died without even leaving behind their corpses."
When Old Weirdo Hu finished speaking, the expression in Xiao Yan's eyes immediately froze. He understood in his heart. How could Old Weirdo Hu not know when Old Weirdo Hu had already said so much?
"Fang Xun and Wang Qi?"
Old Weirdo Hu chuckled as he stared at Xiao Yan with his bright eyes. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
When Xiao Yan saw Old Weirdo Hu's gaze, he nodded thoughtfully in his heart. Then, he seemed to have thought of something. He raised his gaze and looked at Old Weirdo Hu opposite him.
"The reason why Mu Han attacked me was because of the formation master that I casually killed that day!"
"It was Wu Mohui, Mu Han's only disciple. His most beloved disciple died in your hands. Naturally, he would not let you go."
Xiao Yan's voice had just sounded when the words from old demon Hu's mouth were spat out. This caused Xiao Yan to immediately be enlightened. The doubts in his heart were also completely resolved at this moment.
However, as these questions were answered, a new question arose in Xiao Yan's heart.
"But why are you telling me this? The two of us are not on the same side. Don't tell me that you betrayed Mo Di and want to help me instead."
Xiao Yan's eyes stared intently at old demon Hu as he spoke with a cold expression.
"Haha … that is the truth. Men die for wealth, and birds die for food. I don't want to be a fool."
Xiao Yan sneered and said,
"If you take someone's money, then you have to help them. Who would dare to kill you? Mo Di?"
Old Weirdo Hu shook his head with disdain. He really did not care about Mo Di. Among the few of them, the only one that could make him take Mo Di seriously was not Yan Bing, but Mu Han.
"He wouldn't dare, but Mu Han would. Mo Di is an idiot. He provoked Mu Han, the King of Hell. Sooner or later, he will have to pay the price!"
Old Weirdo Hu narrowed his eyes. It was as if he had already seen Mo Di's death.
A greedy man is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. If one wanted to obtain something, he had to fight for it himself. Blindly relying on others would only lead him into the abyss. Mo Di was like this.
"He wants to use Mu Han to get rid of you and obtain the Heavenly Flame in your body. Humph. However, he forgot that Mu Han is a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor. Wu Mohui's death was planned by him. How could Mu Han let him go? I'm afraid that he will be the first to die in the end. With Mu Han's evil heart, he will definitely swallow us one by one."
Old Weirdo Hu said with a gloomy face. His words were filled with disdain for Mo Di and the others. However, when he mentioned Mu Han, his face would involuntarily reveal a fearful expression.
Xiao Yan laughed coldly in his heart. Although this group of people had come together in order to deal with Xiao Yan, they did not have the slightest trust between them. This kind of group might appear extremely strong on the surface, but it had actually already fallen apart.
