Chapter 313 If this continues, I will go find someone I know
"Candidate?" Xiao thought for a moment, then asked, "What's the plan?"
Ye Lingchuan shook his head: "I just received an order to ensure your safety, I don't know the specific details."
The safest and most convenient way to ensure a person's safety is to prevent him or her from going to dangerous places, especially now when the person who needs protection is obviously being targeted by someone with bad intentions.
Unfortunately, Xiao did not understand his good intentions, and tried his best to slip away from under his nose, and even went to dangerous places. Fortunately, he was safe in the end.
Xiao asked again: "Besides me, who are the other candidates?"
Ye Lingchuan still shook his head.
Just as Xiao expected, Ye Lingchuan didn't know.
This is not difficult to understand. This is the front line and it is easy for some information to leak out.
Seeing that Ye Lingchuan didn't seem to be hiding anything, Xiao stopped asking and said calmly: "I never agreed to the plan, and I am only 'one of the candidates', not the only hope."
Ye Lingchuan said nothing.
As the saying goes, catch the leader first.
Judging from the intelligence we have obtained so far, the Level 3 Envoy "Yao" is the "king". If we can get rid of him, the situation should be much easier.
If it were Xiao himself, he would probably agree to this kind of thing without hesitation, as it would be beneficial to the overall situation.
But he wasn't after all.
He has his own selfish desires, and he cares more about those three or two people than about all living beings.
Moreover, not long ago, he was targeted by a certain demon because of the red goblin.
The person who made this plan behind the scenes must be no ordinary person. Who knows if those old guys will be like the demon before and target the people he cares about while making the plan?
Xiao felt a bit of a headache when he thought about being targeted by a group of old men. With his current strength and influence, it was hard to say whether he would be forced to do something against his will.
Without a miraculous opportunity, it would be difficult to significantly improve one's strength in a short period of time. As for finding or even forming a force that could protect oneself, it didn't seem very realistic.
Difficult.
"What's the current situation in Tiancheng?" Seeing Ye Lingchuan remained silent and wondered what he was thinking, Xiao suddenly asked.
"Tiancheng?" Ye Lingchuan was slightly stunned. The scope of Xiao's question was quite large. He was still thinking about what Xiao said before and didn't react for a while.
He recalled for a moment and replied, "The enemy did not take advantage of the loss of a large number of combat forces in Tiancheng to attack the city immediately. Instead, it took a long time before a new second-level emissary appeared.
It is said that the new army and god-level warriors have already arrived, and there are disciples from the Zhenjiao Sect and Yufeng Sect to assist. The overall combat power is not much different from before the encounter with the third-level envoy. "
As long as the new god-level warrior is not invisible in external battles but number one in internal strife, he has already won half the battle.
Xiao secretly complained in his heart.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Tiancheng was safe.
If one day in the future, his former classmates have a reunion and he goes there and doesn't see anyone he recognizes, how embarrassing it would be.
The disciples of Zhenjiao Sect and Yufeng Sect...are they Su Yunyan and Qiu Liuyun?
It turns out they are still staying in the city.
When I went out with the army, Qiu Liuyun went back to report on his mission. Now it seems that he returned to Tiancheng after reporting.
Ye Lingchuan looked at Xiao's expression and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
Xiao did not answer, but questioned: "So, after listening to what I have to say, are you still going to exclude me?"
Out of personal conscience, he didn't want to see monsters running rampant in and outside the city. If he was needed, he would go to help, but Ye Lingchuan pushed him away again and again. No matter how good his temper was, he couldn't hold it back anymore.
It doesn't matter where you fight. If he continues like this, he will go find someone he knows to play with.
Ye Lingchuan finally compromised. If Xiao stayed here, he would be able to take care of him even if he went to a dangerous place. But if he ran far away, that would not be certain.
"Once the situation in the hot spring is dealt with, there will be a combat meeting and you can come with us," he said.
"Ah."
Seeing Ye Lingchuan soften his stance, Xiao also softened his attitude.
On the way out of the workshop, Xiao noticed Manager Wang peeking out of the duty room. He suddenly remembered something and whispered to Ye Lingchuan beside him, "The manager here seems to be trying to sneak away."
"I'm not surprised. He used to be the manager of a workshop in a fallen city. If he didn't have some tricks, he wouldn't be alive today."
Ye Lingchuan paused, and his tone became serious, "But now that you've let me know, I can't just let it go."
He didn't say how to deal with Manager Wang, but just took Xiao to a nearby hot spring resort that had not been dealt with.
Xiao was at a hot spring bathhouse, helping Ye Lingchuan trap the crazy people in a corner and make room.
Suddenly, these people knelt down one after another, and some even fell to the ground and twitched, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them, making them unable to move.
There was a flash of doubt in Xiao's eyes, and he belatedly felt a pressure far superior to that of an emperor approaching.
The pressure from a higher realm has no effect on him, but it has a great effect on ordinary people.
A god-level powerhouse?
Xiao turned his head following his feeling and saw an old man in a dark yellow robe landing in the soup field, holding an ordinary person in one hand.
Sensing this newly emerged divine aura, Ye Lingchuan stopped what he was doing and nodded slightly to the person who came: "Xuanzu."
“They smell polluted.”
As he said that, Xuan Zu threw the two people in his hands to the ground in front of him. The two people had already fainted from fear from the aura on his body, and there was no sign of waking up after being thrown to the ground so roughly.
After hearing what Xuanzu said, Xiao recalled that he had heard the guards chatting on the roof of the "Yuanliu" workshop and that someone had run away from the bathhouse.
"We're in trouble." Ye Lingchuan took the two people on the ground away.
After sending the people there, Xuanzu was about to leave. When he turned around, he caught sight of something in his peripheral vision. He paused and cast a glance at Xiao who was standing beside him.
When their eyes met, he frowned slightly, as if Xiao had made him think about something.
The time they stared at each other was very brief, almost just a moment, and then he returned to his original expression, withdrew his gaze, floated into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Is this the god-level warrior who came to Baihe City to help in the battle?
Xiao looked in the direction where Xuanzu left.
This was his first time meeting this god-level strong man. From the feeling he got, he was much more reliable than the one in Tiancheng.
But, was this person just looking at me?
"Xiao, what are you thinking about?" Ye Lingchuan's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Xiao's thoughts.
"It's okay." Xiao collected his thoughts and swept his eyes across the bathhouse. Every person who was not crazy had his own luxurious single room, a 360° panoramic room with some daily necessities inside.
They are separated by a magic circle, so even if one of them gets sick, it will not affect others.
"They have already dealt with other places. This is the last one. It's time to go." Ye Lingchuan said.
Xiao nodded slightly. He knew that the next step would be a meeting to integrate intelligence. He was looking forward to seeing how bad the current situation would become.
