See you again

In the days since returning from Su Ming, Hu Xing's expression had not been good.

Just as he feared, he and the entire Hang City had become a character caught in the middle.

On the left was the Sword Pavilion, and on the right was Su Ming.

Neither side was someone he could afford to offend.

"What am I to do…"

As long as a Cultivator reached the Star Realm, their appearance would not change much, but Hu Xing, who was now in the Samsara Realm, had obvious wrinkles on his Face.

This matter was indeed too worrisome and exhausting.

But having been City Lord for so many years, Hu Xing knew this point very well.

When super powers collide, people like him who are caught in the middle are the hardest to act.

There is no perfect solution in the world; if he doesn't take a side, his fate won't be any better when the time comes.

But whether to side with Su Ming or the Sword Pavilion was a matter that had to be considered carefully.

If one step went wrong, he and Hang City would be finished.

"City Lord, there is a visitor outside." His confidant reported from outside Hu Xing's room.

"Which faction?"

"A Sect nearby called the Qingxiao Sword Sect; their Sect Master is visiting with his head Disciple, Yuan Tiangang."

Hu Xing didn't know the Qingxiao Sword Sect, but he did have some impression of Yuan Tiangang.

During the Hundred Sword Competition back then, Yuan Tiangang's performance could be considered outstanding, and many spectators on the scene remembered his name.

"Did they say what they wanted to see me for?"

Hu Xing, now caught between the Sword Pavilion and Su Ming, had no intention of seeing outsiders unless it was a very important matter.

"Not clear, they only said it was a very important matter that must be told to you, City Lord, in person."

After thinking for a moment, Hu Xing said: "In that case, let them wait in the reception hall."

...

Inside the City Lord's reception room, the Revered Master and Disciple, Yuan Tiangang and his Revered Master, who had been guided here, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, Yuan Tiangang had detected traces of immortal blood in Lin Family Village and reported it to his Revered Master, and Gu Qingxiao had immediately reported it to the Sword Pavilion.

As a result, they waited for more than half a month, and the Sword Pavilion didn't even give a reply.

immortal blood is of great importance and must not be treated carelessly.

So after the Sword Pavilion didn't give any reply, Gu Qingxiao brought Yuan Tiangang to Hang City.

This place was closest to their Qingxiao Sword Sect, and Hu Xing was the strongest person in this area; with his help, searching for the holder of the immortal blood would definitely be twice as effective with half the effort.

After Hu Xing arrived, he went straight to the point: "I failed to welcome you two to my Hang City. I am busy with official business, so please get straight to the point."

Seeing the other party being so direct, Gu Qingxiao immediately said: "More than half a month ago, my Disciple went down the mountain to recruit new Disciples, and during this time, he happened to meet a beast-taming Cultivator who slaughtered a village."

"This person tamed a 'Reincarnation Dragon Centipede', and when he left, my Disciple saw with his own eyes that the other party took away the holder of the immortal blood."

Yuan Tiangang also added at this time: "City Lord Hu, I dare to swear by the Dao of the Sword, what I saw was definitely the holder of the immortal blood!"

However, facing their firm words, Hu Xing showed a trace of impatience.

He originally thought it was something urgent; it turned out to be just a holder of the immortal blood.

"I know. I will let people pay attention to this matter. I still have urgent matters to deal with, so I won't see you out."

After saying that, Hu Xing turned and left.

Such an impatient tone surprised both Gu Qingxiao and Yuan Tiangang.

That was a holder of the immortal blood; how could he not pay attention to it?

How many holders of the immortal blood had been ignored in history, leading to devastation?

Even after being sent out of the City Lord's mansion, the two still felt it was unbelievable.

"City Lord Hu is also a Cultivator who has lived for many years, how could he not know how serious the harm caused by a holder of the immortal blood would be!"

The Revered Master and Disciple looked at each other, but neither said this out loud.

After all, this was the entrance to the City Lord's mansion; if Hu Xing heard it, it would be a slight to his Face.

"City Lord Hu might really have urgent business and couldn't spare the time to deal with the immortal blood matter. After all, he had to deal with the Blood Sword Tower vermin hiding in Hang City before."

"Let's go, let's look elsewhere…"

Gu Qingxiao found a reason to convince himself and Yuan Tiangang.

The two walked silently towards the city gate.

However, just as they were passing through a bustling market, Yuan Tiangang's gaze was instantly drawn away.

It was Su Ming's back, and there were two children around him.

"You try this, it's sweet." Lin Zhaodi shared the snacks she had just gotten with Su Yingluo.

This girl really had a soft spot for sweets; every time they went out, she had to pester Su Ming to buy some snacks.

However, regarding Lin Zhaodi's kindness, Su Yingluo looked at Su Ming.

The latter said helplessly: "Eat."

With Su Ming's command, Su Yingluo took the snack and tasted it.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhaodi was also accustomed to it.

At the beginning, when Su Ming brought her back, due to Su Yingluo's unique personality, some unpleasant things happened between the two.

But after Su Ming briefly explained Su Yingluo's situation, Lin Zhaodi's sympathy immediately erupted, and the previous unpleasantness vanished.

Because the time of their meeting was advanced, this could be considered as changing their originally destined fate, so the System also plucked out some destiny points.

Yuan Tiangang looked at Su Ming's back and found it increasingly familiar. He subconsciously left Gu Qingxiao aside and strode towards Su Ming.

After arriving in front of Su Ming, the expression on Yuan Tiangang's Face changed instantly.

"Revered Master! It's him!"

The four Flying Swords in the big dipper sword casket immediately flew out, locking onto Su Ming's position from the front, back, left, and right.

Feeling this familiar spiritual power, Su Ming immediately recognized who had come.

"The cold-faced protagonist who has been offline for a long time has finally appeared…" Su Ming thought to himself.

Seeing this, Lin Zhaodi immediately pulled Su Yingluo to hide behind Su Ming, with a look of watching a good show on her Face.

She already knew how strong Su Ming was, so she was not worried at all about what was happening in front of her.

"Revered Master, there is danger…"

"Oh, you don't need to worry about these, they can't do anything to Brother Su."

Looking at Lin Zhaodi's Face, Yuan Tiangang was completely sure he had found the right person.

Gu Qingxiao also rushed to the scene after learning the news. After seeing the traces on Lin Zhaodi's Face, his expression changed drastically.

"Holder of the immortal blood?!"

After saying that, he pulled out his Qingxiao sword, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Su Ming.

The holder of the immortal blood must not be left alive.

Facing this tense situation, the surrounding people immediately retreated.

At the same time, they were also pondering the authenticity of the words of Gu Qingxiao and Yuan Tiangang.

As a result, the more they looked at the marks on Lin Zhaodi's Face, the more they felt something was wrong.

"That really seems to be the traces of 'immortal blood'…"

"No way, if it is really 'immortal blood', why has City Lord not reacted?"

Just as everyone was discussing, Chen Chuan appeared and blocked between Su Ming and the Revered Master-Disciple pair, Yuan Tiangang.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, this young girl is not the holder of the 'immortal blood'."
