Chapter 54: Facilitating Reconciliation?

Meanwhile, Xiao originally planned to go to other cities, but was delayed by other matters.

Every time he was about to leave, someone in the city would call out to him. The person was indeed in trouble and in danger of death, but it wasn't some nobleman trying to murder him for money.

Several incidents occurred every day, and he realized that someone was deliberately stalling him!

Perhaps a conspiracy is brewing!

Since that's the case, he's even less likely to leave; Yaksha never fears battle.

If someone wants to fight him, he'll welcome them!

On this day, he was summoned again. On a street, an old man was being chased by a vicious dog. Just as the dog was about to bite him, the old man called out his name.

"..." Xiao casually whipped the vicious dog to death and looked at both sides of the street.

This street is relatively remote. Apart from the elderly, there are no other pedestrians. The buildings on both sides are very dense, one next to another, and the shops are all closed.

Xiao calmly surveyed the area and easily determined that there were probably more than two hundred Soul Masters hidden there.

It was a trap he set for himself.

"Thank you... Xiao the Immortal..." the old man said gratefully.

Xiao nodded slightly but didn't reply.

The old man walked up to Xiao and said, "Xiao Immortal, this old man has nothing to repay you with, please accept this..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a flash of light appeared in the old man's hand as he used a dagger to assassinate Xiao!

"..." Xiao pinched the old man's dagger between his two fingers and looked at the old man calmly.

The old man was indeed just an ordinary person, with pitifully little strength.

The dagger was easily snatched by Xiao. He turned to look around and saw many figures suddenly appearing on the rooftops of the buildings on both sides, all carrying crossbows.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!!!"

Countless arrows rained down like a storm.

In an instant, the sky seemed to turn dark.

With a casual wave of his hand, Xiao unleashed a burst of cyan energy, forming a protective shield that shielded both him and the old man.

"Jingle bells..."

The arrows were all deflected, and none of them caused any damage.

The arrows were piled up all around, almost knee-high.

It's clear these people really wanted to kill him.

Xiao did not retaliate immediately, but instead sensed the surrounding atmosphere.

Now that the other party has made a move, he certainly can't let it go.

After the arrows, the group of men in black poured hot oil in the direction of the demon, bucket after bucket, all around him.

"Splash...!!!"

Immediately afterwards, a torch traced a path through the air before crashing to the ground.

"boom……!!!"

Golden flames instantly ignited, engulfing the entire street.

The intense heat caused the ground to crackle and pop.

At that moment, another volley of arrows was fired.

……

Not far from this street, in a tavern, two nobles were drinking together, their faces relaxed.

One of the nobles said, "Alas! This is the very man who killed so many nobles. They were all just rotten, good-for-nothing sacks!"

"Now that we're here, you think we can just wipe us out with a snap of our fingers?"

The nobleman was quite pleased with himself, watching the firelight emanating from the distant street.

Another nobleman nodded slightly. "Yes, but nobles like us from the borderlands are indeed in the minority. They don't even have the courage to retaliate against this guy, let alone join us in taking action."

"In my opinion, the only true heroes of this great empire are you and me!"

Another nobleman was equally smug.

They were not nobles from Tiandou City, but rather returned from the border with a portion of their army.

Upon learning that Tiandou City had produced such a madman as Xiao, they all shamelessly declared their intention to take action.

After they devised the plan and figured out the patterns of the demons, they set up today's massacre!

"That's not entirely true. His Majesty was indeed a true dragon back then, but unfortunately he's old now and has lost his courage..." As the nobleman was speaking, a green light suddenly shone out of the window.

"Huh? Why has the sky turned green?"

Both nobles looked out the window at the same time.

A bright green kite was flying towards them.

"What?!"

The kites grew larger and larger, and a strong aura of death surrounded them.

They looked on in shock, realizing that this was an attack on them.

But they were still too late; the kite flew through the window...

"BOOM BOOM BOOM...!!!"

Dark green flames burned, and the two nobles were unable to emerge.

……

Before long, Prince Xuexing and Qian Renxue arrived at the burning street.

Looking at the bare street, Qian Renxue sighed softly and shook her head, saying, "They're too naive. We've already warned them, why did they still act on their own?"

There was only a charred corpse on the ground, but it was definitely not a demon's; it was an old man.

On the rooftops on both sides lay corpses, all of them cleanly and neatly killed with a single blow.

Although Qian Renxue appeared helpless, she was quite pleased inside.

She had already instructed the nobles she knew not to provoke Xiao.

Now, all the nobles who are going to deal with Xiao are people he has no connection with, so he doesn't care how many of them die!

Prince Xuexing walked over from a distance; he had just received a report from one of his subordinates.

With a grave expression, Prince Xuexing said in a deep voice, "Those two guys are both dead. The flames only burned their private room... Heh, they wanted to burn Xiao to death, but they ended up reaping what they sowed."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly. "Uncle, what should we do?"

"What else can I do? I don't want that guy to come knocking on my door." Prince Xuexing curled his lip. His greatest asset, Poison Douluo, had an excellent relationship with the other party.

He doesn't dare to provoke Xiao at all now!

Qian Renxue chuckled inwardly and casually made her decision.

……

Yuexuan.

During this time, Tang San was cultivating his mind and practicing the zither, but his right hand was missing and he was not very proficient with his left hand. Instead of calming down, he became more and more irritable.

He had lost his temper more than once, and had even injured two nobles who were laughing at him.

That day, he practiced alone in Tang Yuehua's room, but the music was not pleasant to listen to; instead, it sounded like someone was talking nonsense.

Tang Hao appeared beside him, watched his performance, and shook his head slightly.

"You have resentment in your heart, and if you don't let it out, it will be difficult for you to regain your former state of mind... I regret it a little; perhaps I shouldn't have let you enter the City of Slaughter..."

Tang San stopped playing his instrument, turned around and looked at Tang Hao with a face full of resentment.

"No! This isn't your fault, it's all that bastard Xiao's fault... If it weren't for him, how could I have ended up like this?!"

Tang Hao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "So, I will kill him. Xiao San, you need to cooperate with me on one thing. We can only kill him by working with others..."

Tang San listened patiently, nodding occasionally.
