Jiang Xiu’s eyes showed a hint of alarm; just now, he hadn’t even seen how Xiao Yufan had acted. In other words, this man’s strength was far beyond his own…
Before he could recover from his shock, he suddenly heard the howl of a wolf near his ear. The person still in Xiao Yufan’s grasp had already fainted.
“Brother, don’t you think this is going a bit too far!” Although he was quite wary of Xiao Yufan, Jiang Xiu still questioned him.
“You should feel fortunate that the one lying here isn’t you!”
As for someone like him, Xiao Yufan naturally wouldn’t show mercy. In this chaotic place, it all depended on one’s skill and strength. If he didn’t make a statement, these people would merely be cautious of their power, not fear them.
And what Xiao Yufan wanted was precisely this effect. Only when these people feared him would they refrain from rash actions.
For a moment, Jiang Xiu was momentarily at a loss for words. He understood that this was a warning. The fact that this person had dared to act openly right before his eyes meant that he held no fear whatsoever of Jiang Xiu’s early-stage先天境 cultivation.
“He won’t die, but if one makes a mistake, they must pay the price…”
Xiao Yufan simply wanted to severely intimidate these people. He hadn’t actually killed that guy because doing so might backfire. A cornered dog will even jump over a wall in desperation. It was easy enough to deal with these few, but who knew if there might be someone more powerful behind them?
He certainly didn’t believe that someone who had just entered the Xiantian境 would dare to lead a gang to rob people outside the ancient city. After all, those coming to this mysterious place were all young experts from guardian temples and other superior forces.
“In that case, I can thank this friend for sparing his life on his behalf!”
His face somewhat darkening, Jiang Xiu coldly snorted and said indifferently. Xiao Yufan had openly slapped him in the face. Even if he dared not retaliate physically, he still needed to express his inner displeasure.
“If you really want to thank me, I certainly won’t stop you!”
This guy was truly stupid enough, Xiao Yufan knew what Jiang Xiu was thinking, but he didn’t care.
Stepping aside, Xiao Yufan walked past. His interest in the ancient city far exceeded his interest in these people. He hoped they would know their limits and back off, otherwise, it wouldn’t just be about crippling one person.
“Brother Xiu, are we just going to let them leave like this…”
Seeing Xiao Yufan and his group leave without even glancing back, another先天境 expert standing beside Jiang Xiu angrily spoke up.
“If we don’t let them go, do you have any better ideas? Both of them are experts at the先天境 level. If we truly engage them in battle, we will certainly gain nothing!”
If it weren’t for the orders from his three senior brothers, Jiang Xiu wouldn’t have associated with these guys at all. However, he had to admit, his senior brothers had shown great foresight. The things they had gathered in recent days would make anyone envious.
“We can go find Senior Brother. I don’t believe these little bastards would dare to act so arrogantly in front of us again!”
Under Jiang Xiu’s icy gaze, the speaker’s mouth twitched violently. After all, Jiang Xiu was a true先天境 expert, so he naturally dared not speak disrespectfully.
“Do you think Senior Brothers are as idle as you? I will report what happened today to them truthfully, but if any of you dare to spread rumors, don’t blame me for disregarding our brotherhood!”
His eyes flickering over each person, Jiang Xiu’s stiff expression sent a chill down the others’ spines. Even if they had a bit more courage, they dared not gossip recklessly.
As for Jiang Xiu, seeing the expressions on their faces, he nodded in satisfaction. His seniors must be busy with important matters and certainly wouldn’t deal with such trivialities. However, he would definitely repay Xiao Yufan a hundredfold for the humiliation he had suffered today.
At this moment, Xiao Yufan had no idea what Jiang Xiu was thinking. Even if he did know, he wouldn’t bother with a petty person like that…
“Do you think if we robbed people here, we could earn more than those guys? A Qian Tian境 expert dares to act so arrogantly just because he has someone backing him up. With Captain Xiao on our side, we wouldn’t fear anyone we met!”
Thinking about those people’s expressions, Xie Yuan felt secretly delighted. Although his own strength had not yet reached the先天境, even an expert at the先天境 level was nothing compared to them. That was true capital.
“Get lost! I would never do such petty things. If you want to, go do it yourself!”
Ye Xu gave a kick, but Xie Yuan had been prepared and dodged in advance. He only said those things jokingly anyway. If the elders of Fantian Sect found out he had done such things, he would be doomed once he returned…
“The valuable treasures in this mysterious place are more numerous than I imagined. If you want them, you should rely on your own abilities to obtain them. If you act shamelessly like them, you’re no different from villains. I believe none of us would do such things!”
Xiao Yufan knew that Xie Yuan had only spoken impulsively, but he still needed to remind the guy. Otherwise, if he developed a frivolous mindset, he might easily suffer losses in this chaotic place.
“I was only kidding. If I really did that, those old fossils in Fantian Sect would definitely skin me alive!”
Clearing his throat, Xie Yuan realized his own change in attitude and slowly adjusted himself. Indeed, after witnessing the strength of Xiao Yufan and the others, he had become more dependent on the team, which wasn’t necessarily a good thing for him.
Since Xie Yuan understood his mistake, Xiao Yufan naturally didn’t say anything else. Looking at the ancient city just ahead, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
From the isolated island to the mainland, and then from the outskirts to the heartland, the group had endured many hardships. Fortunately, they had arrived at this place and could finally rest temporarily. This vast mysterious land meant that even if Xiao Yufan wanted to obtain the inheritance, he could only proceed step by step.
Outside the ancient city, there were many people coming and going, indicating that many shared the same idea of finding a temporary resting place. However, when Xiao Yufan noticed several people wearing the same clothes at the city’s entrance, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.
“It seems even in a place like this, there are still many people who refuse to remain peaceful. Wherever they go, they act as if they’re superior. I really don’t understand where some people’s arrogance comes from!”
After observing for a while, Xiao Yufan finally noticed these people demanding things from passing young experts, behaving extremely domineeringly. Simply from their attire, one could tell they belonged to the same faction. He hadn’t expected some people to act so quickly, already claiming territory and ruling it like kings…
