How about you give me your sword case?
"So that girl isn't the holder of the 'immortal blood'? But why does she look so much like one to me?"
"Keep your voice down. Do you know who that is who just came out? That is Lord Chen, the person City Lord Hu trusts the most. His words are basically equivalent to City Lord Hu's words. Are you implying that City Lord Hu cannot tell who the holder of the 'immortal blood' is?"
"I see. With City Lord Hu's Divine Ability, how could he possibly fail to detect a holder of 'immortal blood' in the city."
Chen Chuan stepping forward instantly gave the onlookers on the scene peace of mind.
But for Yuan Tiangang, it was quite the opposite.
He couldn't help but start recalling everything he had seen of Hu Xing back at the City Lord's Mansion.
The other party's abnormality might also be related to this 'immortal blood' holder right in front of him.
"You two, everything is a misunderstanding. Please put down the weapons in your hands," Chen Chuan continued to persuade them amiably.
He really was acting out of good intentions.
After all, if Su Ming were to make a move, there was no telling how serious the situation would become.
"Lord Su, there must be a misunderstanding here. Could you leave it to me to handle?" Chen Chuan asked cautiously.
As he spoke, Chen Chuan made a move to return the four Flying Swords surrounding Su Ming to their sword casket.
However, Su Ming had absolutely no intention of leaving.
The person opposite him was the male lead chosen by destiny, so how could he leave without farming some destiny points?
Moreover, Su Ming also wanted to see how much destiny favored the male lead and if it could reach the same level as Chu Fan's earlier.
"There is no need for you to interfere. The ones they are looking for are me, aren't they?"
Hearing Su Ming say this, the pressure on Chen Chuan suddenly increased sharply.
However, when these words fell into the ears of others, especially into Yuan Tiangang's ears, they took on a different meaning.
Coupled with the fact that he was already suspicious of Hu Xing's strange behavior earlier.
Now, Su Ming's attitude toward Chen Chuan turned his doubts into certainty.
Thus, he immediately sent a voice transmission to Gu Qingxiao.
"Master, I suspect that Hu Xing has already colluded with the Blood Sword Tower. Discovering the Blood Sword Tower stronghold earlier was just a ruse to cover up the fact that they had already obtained the 'immortal blood' holder!"
"That is why he showed such an impatient expression when we looked for him earlier. Since he had already joined the Blood Sword Tower, naturally he would not want anyone else to know about the 'immortal blood' holder!"
Faced with Yuan Tiangang's analysis, Gu Qingxiao felt it made more and more sense.
But in the current situation, they had already lost the opportunity to strike.
As Hu Xing's trusted aide, Chen Chuan's strength was already above his own. If they were to make a move, both master and disciple would only end up dying here.
Therefore, even though they had discovered the truth, they had to pretend they didn't know.
"Tiangang, under the current circumstances, we absolutely must not act rashly. Withdrawing from Hang City first is the most important thing."
Hearing his master's voice transmission, Yuan Tiangang also realized the situation and immediately suppressed the thought of exposing them on the spot.
No matter what, this was still the other party's territory.
"Your Excellency, we are truly sorry. It was our master and disciple pair who were mistaken. Please forgive us..." Gu Qingxiao said with a smile, and led Yuan Tiangang to apologize to Su Ming.
"Are you only apologizing to me? Is that all there is to it, just an apology?"
Listening to Su Ming's words, Gu Qingxiao and Yuan Tiangang both understood that things would not end so easily.
Gu Qingxiao immediately spoke toward Lin Zhaodi behind Su Ming: "Little girl, I am sorry for scaring you just now... I wonder what kind of compensation you would like?"
"That sword casket is not bad. How about you give it to me?" Su Ming said.
Having dealt with them twice, he knew very well that the big dipper sword casket was definitely their specialized weapon. Getting his hands on it would definitely be a good thing.
If they didn't give it... then he would just take it by force.
Upon hearing Su Ming's request, the master and disciple's faces were dyed with a hint of anger.
Yuan Tiangang had used the big dipper sword casket for many years; it would be no exaggeration to call it his natal flying sword. How could he possibly just give it away?
But in order to resolve the matter, Gu Qingxiao still spoke up: "Your Excellency, perhaps you could change your request. I have a thousand Spirit Stones here. What do you think..."
"I will give you a thousand Spirit Stones; how about you give me that sword casket?"
In one sentence, he directly blocked the master and disciple's path of retreat.
Now they were in the same dilemma as Hu Xing, who was caught between the Sword Pavilion and Su Ming.
"If Your Excellency wishes to be so aggressive, then don't..."
Before Gu Qingxiao could finish speaking, Yuan Tiangang, who was on the side, spoke up: "I will give it."
After speaking, he walked in front of Su Ming under Gu Qingxiao's puzzled gaze and placed the big dipper sword casket in front of him.
"Is this satisfactory?"
Grabbing the big dipper sword casket in his hand, a trace of surprise flashed across Su Ming's face.
He truly didn't expect the other party to just hand over the sword casket like this.
If he let such a guy who could bend and stretch and assess the situation go, wouldn't it be the same as releasing a tiger back to the mountains?
【Host has successfully taken the core weapon of an important destiny-scripted character. Gained 100,000 destiny points.】
"Does this sword casket of yours have a matching sword art? If it does, how about you hand that over to me as well?"
Faced with such a request, Yuan Tiangang instantly clenched his fists, and Gu Qingxiao's sword behind him was already ready to be drawn.
Seeing that the situation was about to become problematic again, Chen Chuan spoke up once more: "Lord Su..."
"This is a matter between me and those two. It has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?"
The heaven-destroying whip appeared in Su Ming's hand, its tip pointing directly at the ground.
Looking at this scene, Chen Chuan's eyelids twitched wildly, and he immediately lost his temper.
Being able to bring this thing out showed that Su Ming was already planning to get serious.
"You two, it is best to do as Lord Su wishes, otherwise the situation will be very dangerous..."
Chen Chuan transmitted this to Yuan Tiangang and Gu Qingxiao.
At this moment, even Chen Chuan himself could not understand why he was showing such goodwill to this master and disciple pair.
Listening to this well-intentioned reminder, Yuan Tiangang forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and took out the "Big Dipper Sword Art".
"This is the matching sword art."
"Hmm, very good. However, I won't take advantage of you for free. Take this piece of junk."
Su Ming said, and directly threw out a sword that was entirely blood-red.
Feeling the spiritual energy fluctuations on it, the passersby exclaimed in surprise.
"A Samsara Realm sword?!"
"A Magic Treasure of this level is actually called 'piece of junk' in his mouth?! What kind of background does he have?"
"A Star Realm sword casket and sword art can be exchanged for a Samsara Realm sword. This person has made a huge profit!"
"Tiangang, put the sword away, and then properly thank this Senior." Gu Qingxiao immediately signaled Yuan Tiangang to take the sword and leave.
"Many thanks, Senior." After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, he picked up the sword from the ground.
Then the master and disciple pair left in a hurry.
"System, do you think I am aiding the enemy?"
【No. If the Host is doing this, there must be a reason for it.】
"You are the one who understands me. Now let's see if the bait I cast can catch me a big fish."
