Chapter 105 Salas's Backup Plan
"Sect Leader Ning, who is this?" After chatting with Xue Qinghe, Xiao Yan turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin behind him.
Xiao Yan was obviously asking a question he already knew the answer to. The white-haired old man following Ning Fengzhi had a dignified air about him. Although he had white hair, his appearance was no less than Ning Fengzhi's. His sword-like eyebrows were imposing and dignified. Without even thinking, one could tell that this must be Sword Douluo Chen Xin. It was likely that the Title Douluo that the Rolling Ball Beast had just discovered was also him.
"Xiao Yan, this is Sword Douluo from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He rescued your master Yan Xiao from the sea of fire not long ago. He is Uncle Sword." Ning Fengzhi introduced Chen Xin directly. He did not mention why Chen Xin would appear in Notting City. It is likely that Xiao Yan, who is smart, had already thought that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would secretly send someone to protect him when he proposed that he had a way to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul break through.
Or rather, this was his own little scheme all along, so Ning Fengzhi brought this up simply to tell Xiao Yan that their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had saved his master's life.
"Thank you for your trouble, Sect Leader Ning. If Xiao San has any other good hidden weapons in the future, I will definitely sell them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as soon as possible. However, I may have to charge more money this time, after all, we also need to eat." Ning Fengzhi appreciated Xiao Yan's straightforwardness. At such a young age, he was not cunning and straightforward. Such a character was quite good.
"No problem, no problem. But we don't need any new hidden weapons. If it's convenient, we can bring another hundred Zhuge crossbows from last time, and make sure to provide plenty of crossbow bolts. After all, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples are not very good at self-defense," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
"Fortunately, Master Yanxiao is not seriously injured. It was my negligence at the time that I failed to rescue him immediately." Chen Xin's tone was somewhat annoyed. After all, as a titled Douluo, he couldn't even save an ordinary person. Although part of the reason was that he thought the old man wouldn't be in any danger, it was undeniable that the other party had been hit.
"Thank you for your trouble, Sword Douluo. It's already a good thing that Mr. Yan Xiao survived, but I will not let the person who attacked him off easily." After Xiao Yan finished speaking, his eyes turned cold.
It wasn't until Xiao Yan led Qin Ming to these three that Qin Ming noticed the killing intent emanating from Xiao Yan. He had been restraining himself the whole way, and even when faced with the assassination attempt by the Star Luo assassins, Xiao Yan didn't seem angry. Qin Ming even wondered if this classmate Xiao Yan was a little too calm.
Now that he was out of sight of the Spirit Hall, he truly sensed the killing intent emanating from Xiao Yan. He also understood why Xiao Yan wouldn't become Sara's disciple. The Spirit Hall had investigated the fire but hadn't found anything conclusive, so the person who did it must also be closely related to the Spirit Hall.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming felt a chill. Was the killing intent emanating from Xiao Yan at this moment too deliberate? If so, would the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire have a good future?
Chen Xin frowned, his left hand still behind his back, but his right hand was extended, making a sword gesture, and touched Xiao Yan's brow. Then, his right hand condensed, and an ancient sword containing killing intent appeared out of thin air in his right hand.
"Uncle Sword?" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in surprise. The group was just chatting peacefully when Sword Douluo suddenly attacked. Although Xiao Yan's eyes were cold and his killing intent was strong just now, it wasn't directed at them.
Chen Xin ignored Ning Fengzhi, grabbed the sword, and swung it towards the direction behind Xiao Yan. An invisible sword aura was quietly unleashed, and then, from behind the shadows of trees not far away, a scream was heard. The next moment, Chen Xin's figure vanished in front of the three of them and stepped directly to the place where the scream came from.
Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, he frowned and remained silent, then returned to Ning Fengzhi's side.
After being struck by Chen Xin's finger, Xiao Yan immediately felt a sense of clarity. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if still shaken, and quickly bowed to thank Chen Xin.
"Thank you for your help, Senior Sword Douluo, in removing the miasma from my body."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xue Qinghe and the others, who had been tense, immediately came to their senses. Although they had not had much contact with Xiao Yan, he gave people the impression of being humble, polite, and unassuming.
The sudden surge of hostility just now was indeed unlike Xiao Yan's usual style. Xiao Yan felt a wave of fear. Just a moment ago, he felt that he had only had the thought of not letting Salas go, and that malice was amplified infinitely, to the point that he himself could not control it. If it was allowed to develop, it would definitely become an obstacle on Xiao Yan's path of cultivation in the future.
"It's alright. Judging from his methods, the other party should be from the Spirit Hall. It seems that he is not as calm as he appears when you refuse him." Chen Xin's tone was somewhat nonchalant. After all, the only two known forces that would dare to attack Xiao Yan are Star Luo and the Spirit Hall. But apart from Salas instigating him, there is no one else in the entire Douluo Continent who would dare to do this in Heaven Dou City.
Upon hearing the other party's screams, Chen Xin rushed over immediately. Even if the other party didn't die, they probably weren't in a good state right now.
"Salas!" Xue Qinghe's tone was completely different from his usual humble manner. He was present at the moment, and the other party actually dared to make such a blatant move in Tiandou City. Who did Salas even think of?
However, Xiao Yan put his hand on Xue Qinghe's shoulder and shook his head.
"Your Highness, I can handle these matters myself. Moreover, I believe that Salas's personal actions are unlikely to escalate to the level of the Spirit Hall, and there is no need to worry about me becoming enemies with the Spirit Hall."
After being cleansed by Chen Xin's sword heart, Xiao Yan could feel that his vision seemed to have changed, and the rolling beast above his head was also affected.
"Xiao Yan, are you sure? Salas, as the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, is not suitable to be your enemy, but I can avenge you."
Xiao Yan waved his hand. He knew that Qian Renxue could make Salas uncomfortable if she really wanted to, but there was no need for that.
"Alright, then I'll take responsibility for the Star Luo Empire's affairs. Since they only sent two Soul Kings, unless they underestimate you, it means that the person who can mobilize them isn't particularly important in Star Luo. Judging from your expression, you should already know what's going on. In that case, just do your job with peace of mind. No matter what happens in Star Luo, His Majesty and I will handle it for you."
Xue Qinghe's overtures are not just blatantly obvious, they are downright naked and exposed to Xiao Yan.
Of the three major powers in the entire Douluo Continent, two have already become enemies with him. In Ning Fengzhi's view, Xue Qinghe's actions are indeed very much in line with the style of an emperor. Not to mention Yan Xiao's contributions, Xiao Yan's genius cultivation alone means that his future is limitless. It can be said that investing in His Highness the Crown Prince's words is a sure thing.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Your Highness." Xiao Yan bowed and thanked him. Now that Xue Qinghe was there to cover for him, all he had to do next was find out where Dai Mubai, that rat, was.
