Chapter 487 - Discussion (2/2)

Xiao Chen clenched his fist and frowned, saying, “Using the civilians as shields…”

If that was the case, the Immortals’ League would not dare to attack them so easily. The Mo Clan who also stood on the side of the Orthodox Path would not easily break the taboo as well. As for those sects that boasted themselves as orthodox and prestigious sects, they would be more scrupulous. In this way, he would be able to expand his influence boldly, but…

Gui Xian saw his hesitation and immediately said seriously, “Kid, those who achieve great things don’t care about trifles! If you’re ambitious, I’ll call you my king!”

As soon as he said that, the candlelight in the hall suddenly moved. Xiao Chen slammed his palm on the table and no longer acted indecisively. He said, “Okay! Today, I will thank you first for your help!”

Yi Tong said with a smile and said, “That’s good. As for the city, there is now turmoil in all directions, and there are many places that have been engulfed by the flames of war. People have gone to the empty city, so we just need to find a desolate city.”

Yang Qing immediately followed and said, “As for the people, the few of us can gather a large group of people from the Wastelands to come over!”

Xiao Chen nodded. All he needed to do now was slowly establish his own influence. At that time, Big Brother Xiao Ning and the others would come to help too. With him and Gu Feng, it would be like having two more experts at the level of Rogue Immortal. At that time, sects like Order of the Divine Fire could be destroyed in a snap.

As for Xuanxu Zi, the Mo Clan, and even the Immortals’ League, he had to level up his strength first. Thinking of this, he looked at Yang Qing and asked, “By the way, Brother Yang, is the Primordial Qi cannon of the Immortals’ League still there?” He thought to himself that since he wanted to build his city, he had to do a good job of defense. This thing that was made by the Immortals’ League was undoubtedly the best defensive tool.

Yang Qing said excitedly, “I have kept this big fellow. It’s just that the few of us don’t dare to open it and take a look.”

Gui Xian said, “Very good. Kid, I know a person in the Wastelands. People call him a master of weapons. He can transform any weapon, even a magic treasure. If you can find this person, it may be helpful to you.”

Then, they discussed some other matters. They only went back to their own places near midnight. When they arrived at a remote and quiet path, the shadows of the trees around them moved slightly. The cool breeze pierced through their skin. Su Lianyue suddenly said, “Xuanxu Zi is fine, but do you really want to fight with those from the Mo Clan?”

Xiao Chen stopped and turned around. This time, there was no one around. Su Lianyue frowned slightly and said, “Listen to me. You are weak and can’t defeat them. After all, they are from the Ancient Immortal Clan family that has been passed down for many years. They have their own alliances. Even the Empress is very wary of them.”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said, “Miss Su, thank you for your kindness this time. I will repay you in the future. But now, it’s not me who wants to fight with them. It’s them who forced me. I have no choice. Even if I don’t want to fight, they will come to me again and again.”

“Aye…” Su Lianyue sighed. She looked at him and said, “Forget it, but, but if one day you walked too far, feel tired, and want to take a rest. The Blue-water Altar is the inn that is built for you in the turbulent mortal world.”

This time, the wind was clear and the moon was bright. Su Lianyue’s clothes fluttered, and her eyes were like water. Xiao Chen looked at her. He could not help feeling a ripple in his heart. The most difficult thing to receive in the world was a favor, but the most difficult thing to accept was a favor from a beauty.

Su Lianyue smiled gently. “If one day you rule the world, don’t forget me.”

Xiao Chen looked at her and his lips moved. “Miss…” Before he could finish his words, Su Lianyue suddenly pressed her fingertip against his lips. Then, she gestured him to keep quiet. “Shh, someone’s here. I’m leaving.” Then, she swung her sleeve and left.

Xiao Chen watched her figure disappear and turned around. There seemed to be a figure slowly approaching from the end of the path. It was a woman in teal clothes. Her face was covered with a light veil, and her appearance could not be seen clearly.

The two brushed past each other, and Xiao Chen felt a cold murderous intent from her. After they left for more than 100 feet, Xiao Chen quickened his pace and walked to his courtyard. On the way, he passed by Huangfu Xin’er’s resting place and opened the window to look. Seeing that she was in a dream, he felt a little relieved and returned to his room.

The next morning, after everyone finished their meal, they were about to leave the Blue-water Altar. Leng Ningfeng and Mu Chengxue had other things to do, so they did not travel with the others this time. Su Lianyue personally sent everyone out of the valley. Outside the valley, Xiao Chen turned around and bowed to her, “Altar Master Su, please stop. I’ve been bothering you for many days. I’ll take my leave now.”

Su Lianyue smiled gently and said, “Then I won’t see you off. See you again.”

The rest of them saluted her and bid her farewell. Then, they left the place and walked for a few miles. Gui Xian, Yi Tong, None-flower Dust, Yang Qing, and the others walked in front. Xiao Chen, Huangfu Xin’er, and the 12 people of Levitating Dark Fragrance walked behind. Qingluan suddenly asked, “Master, are you going to the Wastelands in the next couple of days?”

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “Well, after we find a desolate city, I will go to the Wastelands with Yang Qing and the others. All of you stay here to help Senior Gui Xian to take care of everything here.”

Qingluan said, “Master, you can’t. The State of Wastelands is fraught with danger. We have to leave at least one person by your side.” After saying that, she turned to a woman behind her and said, “Chu Qi, you will follow our master to the State of Wastelands this time!”

Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and slowly turned his head back a little. “Why, why must you leave one person with me?”
