C2568 Conflicts Intensify
According to what Mu Cheng and his sister said, less than fifty percent of the cultivators who entered the Immortal Ascension Pond were able to withstand the impact. However, most of the cultivators who came here to try their luck failed.
Either they gave up halfway and withdrew halfway, or they died inside the Immortal Ascension Pond, ending up in a miserable state.
However, although Chen Xiao knew this, he didn't have the slightest intention of persuading him. Whether he lived or died was his own business. He didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.
Therefore, he only smiled and said, "Then I wish Elder Liu success. "
"Thank you for your kind words, little friend. " Elder Liu He replied.
"Sit. " Chen Xiao pointed to the seats on both sides of the table and then put away all the treasure boxes on the table. He didn't have any intention of being polite at all.
Since the other party wanted to give him something, he would just accept it. His current status was not that of a loner. He was a guest elder of the Redbud Chamber of Commerce. It was not a big deal for him to receive such a small benefit.
After sitting down, Chen Xiao went straight to the point and said, "The two of you didn't come here just to deliver something, right? If it was just for this small matter, there's no need to be so grand. "
Chen Xiao went straight to the point. He didn't like those bullsh * t nonsense. Furthermore, it seemed like these two were experienced veterans.
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Xiao's words, the two of them exchanged a glance with each other. There was a slight hesitation in their eyes. They appeared to be stuttering. Clearly, they wanted the other party to say this.
Chen Xiao did not point it out. He just sat there with an expressionless face, waiting for the two of them to come to a conclusion.
In the end, it was the captain of the guards who said, "Yongling Island is in a troubled period. I wonder what Brother Chen Xiao plans to do next? Do you plan to stay on Yongling Island for the time being, or do you want to leave? "
Chen Xiao's heart sank. Now, he finally understood. The purpose of the other party's visit was to find out whether he was going or staying. This was a problem.
"Oh, if I leave now, do the two of you still want to stop me?" Chen Xiao said coldly. Although the two of them had expressed their goodwill, he didn't let his guard down completely.
After all, there was an example of Li Xian betraying them in the past. He naturally had to be extra careful. Only God knew if there would be betrayals among the two of them.
One must be wary of others. One must know a person's face but not his heart.
"No, of course not. Little friend Chen Xiao is a guest elder of my Redbud Chamber of Commerce. He holds the Golden Leaf Token in his hand and is in the territory of my Treasure Pavilion. No one will dare to make things difficult for him. " Elder Liu He immediately patted his chest and promised.
However, he quickly changed the topic and continued, "However, I still hope that you can stay here for the time being. At the very least, it won't be too late to leave after the higher-ups send someone over and find out the truth. "
Chen Xiao suddenly understood. It turned out that this was what these two people were worried about. It was normal for them to be afraid of taking the blame. After all, the betrayal of the master of a pavilion was indeed a big deal.
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "So that's how it is. It doesn't matter. I will naturally talk to the person who came. It should have nothing to do with the two of you. As long as the two of you don't follow in the footsteps of Li Xian and become a traitor of the Cloud Sky Pavilion. . . That's enough. "
After saying this, their faces changed drastically and they hurriedly said, "I don't dare, I absolutely don't dare. My loyalty to the Chamber of Commerce can be seen by the sun and moon, so how could I betray? Li Xian really deserves to die. "
The captain of the guards shouted loudly. Just as Chen Xiao said that he would not leave, he swore loudly. In fact, he was finally able to calm down in his heart.
Compared to Liu He, who was afraid of being the scapegoat, After all, Li Xian had betrayed them and escaped Yongling Island. His whereabouts were unknown, and he was the second most powerful person in the Treasure House.
If the higher-ups of the Redbud Chamber of Commerce sent someone to investigate, he would be the first one to bear the brunt. So it was normal for him to feel guilty. After all, no one in the Treasure Pavilion was completely innocent. He would always reach out his hand in various places.
Even Liu He had a solemn expression as he said: "Currently, Cloud Sky Pavilion is pressing our Redbud Merchant Association with every step. Regardless of whether it is in the open or in the dark, they are all making a move. It is truly an eventful period of time. It is also a good thing that little friend Chen Xiao is willing to stay for the time being. Furthermore, that Immortal Ascension Pool might allow little friend to try his luck. "
Try your luck? The corner of Chen Xiao's mouth twitched. He was staring at Chen Xiao in his heart. If he were to hand his life over to luck, that would be too cheap.
However, there was still a period of time before the opening of the Immortal Ascension Pond, so he wasn't in a hurry.
After a moment of silence, Chen Xiao suddenly asked, "When I was fighting that traitor, Li Xian, I didn't see Elder Liu He. I wonder where you were and what you were doing?"
"I won't hide it from you, young friend. Before the incident, Because I noticed the huge commotion outside Yongling Island, I discussed it with Li Xian. I brought some men with me to investigate, so I was just outside Yongling Island when the incident happened. I missed it, but now that I think about it, Li Xian must have sent me away on purpose so that he could easily make a move on my little friend. However, little friend's strength is indeed astonishing. He is actually safe and sound. It was truly amazing to be able to escape unscathed. As expected of the person who was able to obtain the Golden Leaf Token. I'm impressed and impressed. " The old man spoke slowly.
At that time, outside Yongling Island? Chen Xiao's heart froze, but he believed it a little. It should be true. After all, it couldn't have been such a coincidence that they were sent away.
As for Liu He's flattery, Chen Xiao completely turned a deaf ear to it. He pretended not to hear it. It was too easy for Liu He to say such flattering words.
Furthermore, it could be seen that although Liu He also had the strength of a Tribulation Transcender, his face was aged, and his qi and blood were beginning to dry up. His life had already entered a countdown. There was no potential to speak of at all.
Such an existence had always been relatively neutral. It would not be out of line, nor would it be too conservative.
"I am very interested in this. Since Elder Liu went to investigate outside Yongling Island, I wonder what happened, and what the result would be?" Chen Xiao continued to ask.
Hearing this, Elder Liu He sighed slightly. His face darkened slightly, and he said, "This is also the reason why I came here to look for little friend. Mu Qingshan and Nian Yuan had a great battle outside the island, but in the end, neither of them had gained any benefits. One of Mu Qingshan's arms had been crippled, and Nian Yuan had also been seriously injured. Now, the conflict between the four great clans on the island has escalated further. I'm afraid there will be a change in the opening of the Immortal Ascension Pond this time. "
"There's a change?" Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he clenched his right fist tightly.
