"Does your Excellency know him?"
Seeing Xie Tianxiao no longer releasing his coercive power, Lie Xiong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Xie Tianxiao nervously and asked.
"I'm not the only one who's curious. Who asked you to take him back? How did Gu He become like this?"
Xie Tianxiao waved his hand, looked at the middle-aged man caught by the fierce bear, and asked with interest.
"I don't know either. It's just that a man in a black robe suddenly appeared in my Mulan Valley. He is very powerful and is a Dou Zong level."
"He asked my three brothers to follow his orders and help him find a strange ancient jade and some powerful alchemists to bring back."
"In exchange, he helped my three brothers develop a fighting skill that could rival Dou Zong, and promised to help my three brothers break through to Dou Zong after the task was completed."
"As for Gu He, I originally wanted to bring him back to Mulan Valley, but unfortunately this guy is disobedient, so I can only make him more obedient."
Lie Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained.
He was afraid that Xie Tianxiao had some past with Gu He, and if that happened, he would be in trouble today.
"I see. You can go now, but you must leave this ancient river and the ring in your hand behind."
"You, do you have any objections?"
Xie Tianxiao glanced at the middle-aged man and asked.
"Uh, no problem, no problem."
How could Lie Xiong dare to say a word of opinion? He quickly shook his head and thought to himself, you are so powerful, if I have an opinion, wouldn't that be courting death?
However, he was also a little surprised that Xie Tianxiao, a Dou Zong-level expert, would be interested in his storage ring. But he quickly shook his head, took the storage ring from his finger and handed it over.
This ring contains all his wealth, but compared to money, he values his life more.
"Then I'll take my leave."
After Lie Xiong gave the ring to Xie Tianxiao, he said something respectfully and quickly flew towards the direction of the Mulan Empire.
It seems that its speed is even faster than when Xie Tianxiao appeared just now.
"This guy is quite sensible."
Xie Tianxiao glanced at Lie Xiong who was leaving and murmured softly.
After putting away Lie Xiong's storage ring, Xie Tianxiao turned his head to look at Gu He who was floating in the air beside him, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, and said:
"Is this the Dan Wang, the number one alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire? He was almost taken away and handed over to the Soul Palace without anyone noticing. It's really ridiculous."
Xie Tianxiao actually didn't want to care about Gu He. After all, when he read novels on Lan Baixing before, he liked female protagonists like Xiao Yixiong, Yun Yun, and Ya Fei.
Now that I have traveled through time, I dislike this Gu He who is said to like Yun Yun even more.
But when he heard Lie Xiong say that he was looking for some ancient jade, Xie Tianxiao guessed that the person behind the scenes might be from one of the eight major families. Adding in the fact that he was wearing a black robe and was looking for an alchemist, he was certain that it was someone from the Soul Palace.
As Soul Palace will be Xie Tianxiao's enemy sooner or later, they will definitely not let them get what they want.
The most important point is that Gu He is just a Dou Wang, so what if he is saved? Xie Tianxiao can kill him with just a finger, so there is no need to take it to heart.
However, although he saved Gu He in disguise, he did not intend to let Gu He leave so easily.
Then Xie Tianxiao appeared below in a flash, waved his hand, and threw the floating Gu He to the ground.
"ah!"
Gu He suddenly woke up, and when he looked up, he saw Xie Tianxiao's cold face. His face changed drastically, and he got up from the ground and said in panic: "Who are you and why are you arresting me?"
That's it?
Looking at Gu He who was so confused and out of control, Xie Tianxiao chuckled, then flicked his sleeves and said disdainfully: "Are you going to treat your savior like this? Look at where this is."
"Still arrest you? Do you deserve it? What's the point of me arresting you?"
Gu He was only a sixth-rank alchemist, and a beginner at that. Xie Tianxiao simply looked down on him.
"What!"
After hearing what Xie Tianxiao said, Gu He was stunned. He looked around carefully and found that he was standing in an uninhabited open space in a small border town of the Gama Empire.
It is not the Mulan Empire or Mulan Valley that Lie Xiong mentioned just now.
"I, Gu He, will always remember your kindness in saving my life. If you need me in the future, please feel free to ask. Gu He will do his best."
Gu He reacted, took a deep breath, and bowed respectfully to Xie Tianxiao to express his gratitude to him.
He never thought that he would be so unlucky. After accidentally obtaining a fifth-grade prescription, he found that he was missing an ingredient for refining it, so he went to the desert on the border of the Gama Empire to look for it.
However, he was stopped by a Dou Huang who claimed to be from the Mulan Empire and asked him to go to Mulan Valley.
He was unwilling to go, so he offered a series of sixth-grade elixirs and favors from the alchemist, but unfortunately the other party did not appreciate it and knocked him unconscious and captured him.
I thought I would most likely die at the hands of that Dou Huang this time, but unexpectedly I was saved by the mysterious strong man in front of me.
"Senior, who is your senior?"
After hearing Gu He's words, Xie Tianxiao couldn't help but sneer.
Then, he stepped into the air and came to the top of Gu He's head, looking down at him, and said in a cold voice: "You have to call me sir, understand?"
After hearing what Xie Tianxiao said, Gu He was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why Xie Tianxiao in front of him suddenly turned hostile and even said that he should call him sir?
Gu He was about to feel a surge of anger in his heart, but after seeing Xie Tianxiao standing on the void, he held it back and said through gritted teeth: "Yes, sir!"
"Um."
Hearing Gu He's respectful voice, Xie Tianxiao nodded with satisfaction. This feeling of stepping on someone was really comfortable!
It turned out to be a Dou Zong master!
Looking at Xie Tianxiao's happy look, Gu He couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Damn it, where did this Dou Zong master come from? He is so arrogant and rude!"
"I didn't offend him, damn it!"
He originally thought that Xie Tianxiao was a Douhuang level person and saved him because he had heard of his reputation as a sixth-grade alchemist and wanted to make friends with him.
Unfortunately, he was wrong, the visitor turned out to be a Dou Zong expert.
Still looking down on me!
"Well, I don't want to hear how you were caught by this Mulan Valley elder."
"Leave your ring and you can go."
Xie Tianxiao waved his hand impatiently and said in a cold voice.
Xie Tianxiao saved Gu He's life, but the other party was so ungrateful. Considering the things in his ring, a broken finger was the least he could do.
As for why I want a sixth-grade alchemist ring, the same old saying applies: don't waste something that comes for free.
Although these resources cannot be used now, they can be given to others, or used when he wants to create a force in the future. After all, no one will complain that they have too many cultivation resources.
The more the better, isn't it?
