When the black-robed man heard Huo Lie's words, a faint smile appeared on his usually indifferent face. At the same time, he said disdainfully, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to the lowly lives of your brother and those people in your village. Give me the bead!"
Huo Lie looked at the fiery red bead in his hand with a pained expression. He slowly handed the bead over to the black-robed man.
"Brother Huo Lie, long time no see!" However, this time, Xiao Chen walked out of his hiding place and greeted Huo Lie.
After all, Huo Lie was very kind to him and Da Huang when they were in the village. Moreover, Huo Lie was their first friend after they entered the Celestial Realm. He was also a senior who took good care of them. Now that Huo Lie was in trouble, Xiao Chen couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
Moreover, he could tell that the fiery red bead could be sold for at least 300,000 Fairy Crystals. But the black-robed man was only offering tens of thousands. It seemed that he was threatening the lives of Huo Lie's brother and the rest of the people in the village to force Huo Lie to sell the bead at such a low price. Xiao Chen was naturally unhappy with the black-robed man's behavior. Therefore, he stood out without hesitation. Although the black-robed man and Huo Lie were both in the Heaven Celestial Realm and much stronger than him, who was only in the Second Heaven of the True Celestial Realm, they were in Southwind City!
Moreover, he was a disciple of the Southern Celestial Sect. In Southwind City, there were branches of the Celestial Sect. Xiao Chen wasn't worried that the black-robed man would dare to kill him in the city. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to escape!
"You are Xiao Chen?!"
When Huo Lie saw Xiao Chen suddenly come out to greet him, he was surprised at first. Then, he recognized Xiao Chen and excitedly called out to him.
"It's me, Brother Huo Lie. Long time no see. You seem to be in some trouble?" Xiao Chen said with a smile. Then, he glanced at the black-robed man. The meaning behind his words was self-evident!
"Sigh, it's a long story. Brother Xiao Chen, wait for me to settle this matter first. I'll treat you to a feast later. Wait for me here!" Huo Lie sighed heavily and shook his head. He didn't explain anything to Xiao Chen. Obviously, he didn't want Xiao Chen to get involved!
Although he knew that Xiao Chen had joined the South Soul Immortal Sect, he did not want Xiao Chen to get involved. This was because he knew very well what kind of person Blackboard was. Although this guy was a lone ranger most of the time, he had quite a powerful force behind him.
Although Huo Lie knew that Xiao Chen had become a disciple of the Immortal Sect, Blackboard and the force behind him would not go against the Great Immortal Sects on the surface. However, if they found an opportunity, they would kill the disciples of the Immortal Sects!
Moreover, Xiao Chen was only at the Second Heaven of the True Immortal Realm. Huo Lie did not want Xiao Chen to get involved in any danger!
This made Xiao Chen, who saw through Huo Lie's thoughts, feel slightly touched. Huo Lie was still as warm-hearted and kind as before. Things had already reached this point, but he was still thinking for Xiao Chen.
"Brother Huo Lie, what are you saying? When Da Huang and I had just ascended to the Immortal Realm, we were indebted to Brother Huo Lie and the other brothers in the village for taking care of us. Now that Brother Huo Lie is in trouble, how can I sit back and do nothing! I heard that the bead in your hand can be sold for hundreds of thousands of Immortal Crystals. However, this guy only gave you a few tens of thousands. Why would you sell it to him? " Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head. Then, he glanced at the man in the black robe. However, he did not hold back and directly said what he wanted to say.
"Hehehe, little thing, you're quite brave. How dare you meddle in the affairs of my Blackboard? Looking at your clothes, you must be a disciple of the South Soul Immortal Sect, right? Do you think that just because you're a disciple of the South Soul Immortal Sect, you can really look down on everyone and everyone has to fear you? " After hearing Xiao Chen's words, the man in the black robe laughed coldly. There was not much respect for the South Soul Immortal Sect in his words!
Xiao Chen looked at the man in the black robe and did not say anything. On the other hand, Huo Lie, who was standing by the side, smiled bitterly.
"Brother Xiao Chen, since you've heard it just now, I'm sure you've heard it too. I have no choice but to sell this bead. This guy has poisoned Zuo Fang and the others. Only this guy has the antidote for this poison. If I don't sell this bead to him, Zuo Fang and the others will all die. Although I'll lose a lot of money from this bead, compared to the lives of Zuo Fang and the others, these two hundred thousand Immortal Crystals are nothing!" Huo Lie shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"What poison?" Xiao Chen asked faintly. To be honest, he didn't really care about these so-called poisons, because he was now an intermediate alchemist. He had many pills that could detoxify poisons, and the number of poisons that could be detoxified was very, very good.
This man in the black robe was only at the Heaven Celestial Stage. Even if he was proficient in poisons, Xiao Chen felt that as long as the poisons weren't too strange, he should be able to refine the corresponding antidote. Even if he couldn't do it, he still had Donghuang Zhong!
There was no need to let Huo Lie and the others lose more than two hundred thousand Immortal Crystals for nothing!
He knew how difficult it was for Disbanded Cultivators like Huo Lie and the others to get some Immortal Crystals. These two hundred thousand Immortal Crystals were very, very important for Huo Lie and the others. Why did he let this man in the black robe use such a despicable method to coerce them?
"Ha, ha, ha, boy, don't tell me you want to detoxify the poison? It's not that I'm boasting, but even that Old Man Zhang from your Southern Celestial Sect can't detoxify the poison that I used, let alone you!
It's a good thing that you want to stand out, but you also need to see if you have the ability to do so!
Get lost, I'll give you a chance because you're a disciple of the Southern Celestial Sect. Get lost now, and I can pretend that nothing has happened. Otherwise, humph! "
Blackboard sneered. His words surprised Xiao Chen!
Even Elder Zhang can't detoxify the poison that this guy used? If that's the case, it seems like he's quite powerful. After all, Elder Zhang is a genuine Alchemy Grandmaster!
