Chapter 495: Scheming against Gao Yangyu

However, when Xiao Chen compared himself to Bai Lixi, the difference became immediately clear.

Bai Lixi had easily won a huge amount of Spirit Stones in a bet. By relying on his set of ten-odd Medial Grade Secret Treasures, his combat prowess surpa.s.sed Xiao Chen’s; the difference frustrated Xiao Chen greatly.

When Bai Lixi saw Xiao Chen’s depressed appearance, the smile on his face grew bigger. He seemed insincere as he comforted Xiao Chen, saying, “Little Brother, don’t overthink this. I am only ahead of you temporarily. However, the path of cultivation is long. In terms of potential, I am not comparable to you.”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, “Never mind, let’s not talk about this anymore. You aren’t being targeted now, right? Help me make some inquiries, see who the people trying to find news about me are.”

Startled, Bai Lixi asked, “What are you thinking of doing? I already made arrangements. I guarantee that you can leave Desolate City tonight.”

Xiao Chen said, “Just do what I say. Some grat.i.tude and grudges have to be ended early. Otherwise, it would just result in future problems.”

“Even if one disappeared, one’s friends or family might end up being harmed. I do not want to leave any regrets for myself, regrets that would be hard to recover from.”

Bai Lixi thought about it for a while, but he still disapproved of Xiao Chen’s rationale. He said, “Gao Yangyu is not easy to deal with. He became famous very long ago in the southern islands. He has already been a Great Perfection half-step Martial Monarch for long time as well.”

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “This is precisely the reason why I have to make a move fast. He would be harder to deal with after he becomes a Martial Monarch.”

When Bai Lixi saw that Xiao Chen was set on this, he had nothing else to say.

Bai Lixi might seem very coa.r.s.e and straightforward, but he realized that what Xiao Chen said made sense as well. It was just that he worried for him.

Xiao Chen left to look for a good room to stay in. Then, he continued to stabilized his cultivation.

He was like a Divine Weapon being forged. Currently, only a rough outline had been formed; a lot more work had to be done before it would become sharp and powerful.

After Bai Lixi left, he did not appear for two days. So Xiao Chen spent the two days in the s.p.a.cious quarters that he rented. When Bai Lixi showed up, he pushed open the doors to Xiao Chen’s suite and sat at the table in the living room.

Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and then the door of the bedroom. When he saw the somewhat fatigued Bai Lixi, he asked, “Did you manage to get the information?”

Bai Lixi took out stacks of paper and said, “Brat, you are really popular. There are many people looking for you. I searched all over the Wind Chasing Pavilion and found hundreds of such people.”

Nodding, Xiao Chen thanked him. “You worked very hard. How many Spirit Stones did you spend? I’ll reimburse you.”

Bai Lixi chuckled. “Don’t worry about money. I may lack many things, but money is not one of them. I’ll go first. Just holler when you need me. Don’t act rashly on your own; I am available at any moment for my brother.”

He had already guessed what Xiao Chen wanted to do. By saying these words, it was already as good as him helping Xiao Chen. This fellow was rather interesting.

There was an entire pile of information on the table. The reports introduced the strength, backing, and personal information of every person searching for Xiao Chen.

At the bottom was even some professional evaluation on why these people were searching for him.

The detailed information really gave Xiao Chen a lesson. He now understood why he was so easily found.

The information broker in Desolate City known as Wind Chasing Pavilion was really complex.

Four hours later, Xiao Chen finished looking through all the information on the table. Then, he spent another hour categorizing them.

The first group was of no threat, consisting of the relentless big sects trying to extend an olive branch to him.

The second group was rather interesting, consisting of youths who wanted to challenge him, to use him to become famous; there were many of them.

There was no need to care too much about the first two groups. They had no malicious intentions towards Xiao Chen. As for the third group, this was the danger he had to guard against.

The Holy Fire Manor’s Qin Yu had spent a large amount three times to track down Xiao Chen’s location. He had even asked the Wind Chasing Pavilion to keep an eye on his movements, wanting them to inform him when Xiao Chen left the city.

Xiao Chen thought back briefly and recalled who this Qin Yu was. He was the Holy Fire Manor’s inner sect elder whom he had s.n.a.t.c.hed the peak high-rank Demon Core from in the Demon Battlefield.

“It looks like this fellow is preparing to ambush me when I exit the city. He is also a Great Perfection half-step Martial Monarch; he will not be easy to deal with.”

Xiao Chen continued reading and found Gao Yangyu’s records; he had gone to the Wind Chasing Pavilion together with Qin Yu.

Xiao Chen frowned. Two Great Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs were working against him. This was going to be hard to deal with.

When Xiao Chen looked down and saw the Wind Chasing Pavilion’s a.n.a.lysis, his eyes brightened and a smile appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yangyu was not staying with the Holy Fire Manor. Xiao Chen felt surprised at such an opportunity.

However, there was no report on Chu Chaoyun in the pile of information. This made Xiao Chen suspicious. If this person had not gone through the Wind Chasing Pavilion to find him, then how had he done so?

Xiao Chen could not think of an answer to this, so he set this question aside temporarily. After he destroyed the information, he called Bai Lixi over to explain his plan.

“You want to take the initiative to deal with Gao Yangyu before wiping out the Holy Fire Manor’s Desolate City branch?”

When Bai Lixi heard Xiao Chen’s plan, he could not help but show a startled expression.

Xiao Chen said calmly, “That’s right. We can’t give Gao Yangyu a chance to work with Qin Yu. Otherwise, we would not stand a chance.”

Bai Lixi thought for a while before laughing rambunctiously. “Brat, you are really bold! I, Old Bai, will give you a hand.

“That group of people is still waiting for you to leave the city. They will not expect you to take the initiative to attack them. Just tell me what to do.”

Xiao Chen gave Bai Lixi a deep look and said, “Are you not afraid?”

Bai Lixi chuckled and said, “I am a bachelor; I have nothing to fear. Now that the age of geniuses is budding, who exactly will be the main character of this age?

“I, Old Bai, think that it is you. If I am right about this and you are truly the main character of this age, the benefits that I will obtain will be much more than what I invested.”

The age of geniuses had arrived; a great age was upon everyone. A Martial Emperor would definitely arise.
