Chen Xiao didn't feel anything when he was glanced at by this person just now. But now that this person's gaze was on him, Chen Xiao felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole, and he couldn't help shivering.
Chen Xiao was shocked. This was definitely not just because he was shocked by the other person's gaze, but because there was something strange about this person's skills. Chen Xiao could even hear that Tang Ru, who was standing behind him, was breathing heavily.
Peng Biao frowned and said in a low voice: "That's enough. These people are here to pay respect to the envoy, not to give you the 'Human Pill'."
Qi Lian's thin, red lips curved up into an arc, and he took another deep look at Xi Yunting before he stopped looking at them with that chilling gaze.
"After you have paid your respects to the distinguished envoy, don't be in a hurry to leave. Let me do my best to entertain you as a good host." Qilian said slowly.
Peng Biao had no expression on his face. He said, "You have seen the man. Do what you are supposed to do. Be careful that you will be punished if you leave your post without permission."
Qi Lian chuckled, glanced at Peng Biao's face, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Brother Peng, I don't know you care about me so much. I am very touched. How about we have a drink tonight?"
Peng Biao immediately felt like he had eaten a fly, and threw his hands away in disgust: "Who the hell cares about you!" He turned his head and shouted in the direction of Chen Xiao and the other three, "Let's go!"
They walked a long way before Chen Xiao felt the chill on his back disappear. He looked back quietly, but there was no one at the foot of the mountain.
As if he had noticed his action, Peng Biao, who was walking in front, warned them: "If you don't want to devour him without leaving any bones, you'd better stay away from that person. I don't want the filial piety that I haven't received to go to waste."
Compared with the weird Qi Lian, Peng Biao's greed actually seems much more cute.
Halfway up the mountain, there was a wide open plain with a large cave at the end. Peng Biao led them through the plain that looked like a martial arts training ground and entered the cave.
The interior of the cave is decorated very exquisitely, even luxuriously.
The floor was covered with thick carpets, and the walls were decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, as well as hanging canopies. They passed through layers of archways, and behind each archway was a corridor leading to an unknown destination. Chandeliers hung in the corridors, and the golden halo made the place bright, so bright that it was impossible to tell that it was a cave in the belly of a mountain.
Peng Biao took them to a hall and told them to wait here in a rude tone. After that, he was not afraid of the four people running around, so he left from the corridor in another direction.
Chen Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he found that Tang Ru's face was frighteningly pale. Chen Xiao was startled, and he hurriedly asked: "A Rou, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Ru shook his head and said, "It's okay. I just felt uncomfortable being looked at by that Qi Lian guy."
Tong Nuonuo rarely saw Tang Ru so vulnerable, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He frowned: "Who is that Qi Lian? How can a single look make people feel so uncomfortable?"
Xi Yunting, who had been silent, said, "That person should be an evil spiritual practitioner. This technique is special, it directly devours living things or absorbs the energy of living beings. His eyes carry the characteristics of the technique, which is no less than being directly attacked mentally, so he feels uncomfortable."
Among the four people, Xi Yunting has the strongest mental power, Tong Nuonuo is second, and Chen Xiao comes in later. On the contrary, Tang Ru has the weakest mental power, no wonder she looks so unhappy.
Tong Nuonuo's face turned pale after hearing what Xi Yunting said: "So, Peng Biao is not trying to scare people. If he really falls into Qi Lian's hands, there will be no bones left."
It was the first time that Chen Xiao had heard of spiritual cultivation. He didn't have the mood or time to learn more about it. He just secretly increased his vigilance against Qi Lian and placed more emphasis on Peng Biao.
He was in a heavy mood. Among these three lowest-ranking minions, one was hot-tempered and fierce, and one was evil and unique. He really didn't know what the remaining three would be like.
Chen Xiao felt a little uneasy. He was afraid that he would not be able to escape successfully in the end. It would be terrible if he fell into the tiger's mouth.
As if sensing that he was a little uneasy, Xi Yunting quietly reached out his hand and supported his waist. This silent support was more effective than any words, and Chen Xiao calmed down. What was there to be afraid of? At worst, we could fight to the death!
At this time, a man appeared at the entrance of the corridor where Peng Biao left. This man's face was even paler than Tang Ru just now. He looked haggard and weak, and his footsteps almost rubbed on the ground.
The man glanced lifelessly at the faces of the four people, and without stopping for a moment, he walked to the chair in the hall and sat down.
Chen Xiao looked at the hollowed-out man with some surprise, wondering if he was the last lackey or the weapon refiner. In any case, it was unlikely to be the envoy.
In a short while, Peng Biao followed a strong man in his thirties with bulging muscles and tight clothes. The man in front had a inch-long beard on his cheeks and walked with a fierce and powerful look. A strong sense of oppression came over them. Otherwise, they had been in Xi Yunting's presence all day and were used to his powerful momentum. After just one encounter, Chen Xiao and the other two would have knelt down with weak legs.
The man was a little surprised to see several people standing straight in front of him. He raised his hand and touched his beard. He looked at them with great interest, and then his eyes fell on Xi Yunting. After a moment, he became a little suspicious and cautious.
He raised his chin and said to Peng Biao in the direction of Xi Yunting, "Is this the weapon refiner? Peng Biao, you are really getting bolder and bolder. You dare to lead him back without knowing the depth of this person."
Peng Biao's attitude in front of this man was not so presumptuous. He bent down, lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, please understand. Even if they really have evil intentions, they can't escape your control. Then we will be at your mercy. I just think that life is boring and want to have some fun for you."
The envoy snorted, turned his head and shouted at the dying man slumped in the chair next to him: "What are you waiting for? Go call Bai Jiguang over."
The man was very reluctant, but he did not dare to disobey the order, so he stood up and dragged his feet out of the hall. Peng Biao seemed to be very annoyed, or perhaps he took the opportunity to put on an eye drop, and said to the envoy: "This Wan Chengzhang is getting more and more unbecoming. It's not enough that he is lazy on weekdays, he needs the envoy's personal order before he is willing to move."
The envoy snorted, "Peng Biao, I know what you are up to. I don't care if you guys scheme against each other, but if you dare to ruin my plan, I think you know my methods. Or are you not satisfied with the current arrangement and want to change with Wan Chengzhang? I think Wan Chengzhang is very happy to take your place."
Peng Biao seemed to have heard something extremely terrifying, and immediately knelt down at the envoy's feet with a plop: "I absolutely did not mean that!"
The emissary said coldly: "There is no best, and I don't want to be short of a man for nothing."
After dealing with Peng Biao's little trick without paying any attention to others, the envoy stared at Chen Xiao and the others for a few seconds, and said in a light voice: "Since you are here, then stay. Peng Biao, take these three people away."
The distinguished envoy had no intention of paying any attention to Chen Xiao and the other two. If Peng Biao had not said that he would bring back a weapon refiner, he would never have condescended to come over.
Peng Biao got a little anxious when he heard this. This was related to his future treasury. The envoy didn't care about the gift from Chen Xiao, but he cared about it very much.
"Your Excellency, this... this, although they are not very good, they are a way to make money. Why don't we keep them and let them send tributes from time to time?"
The emissary smiled coldly: "Does this mean little profit to me? If you can't stand the life here, you'd better get out as soon as possible."
Peng Biao was thinking too simply. Since Chen Xiao and the others came in, the envoy would not leave any of them alive.
In the eyes of the envoy, nothing is more important than his business. If Chen Xiao and the others were allowed to leave alive, they would be afraid that the matter would be leaked out.
If the righteous people knew about this secret treasure of the great master, they would have no peace in the future. Compared with this, all treasures are just dirt.
Seeing that Chen Xiao and the other three were in a desperate situation, Chen Xiao said, "Your Excellency, please listen to what I have to say!"
The envoy's eyes were as cold as if he was looking at a dead person. He said, "What do you want to say?"
Chen Xiao's heart was beating fast, and he tried to remain calm and said to the envoy, "We are willing to serve you like a slave! With a little help, we can win back Yan Hai's people for your use. In this way, your envoy will have an extra eye in the wilderness of Su Xuan, and he won't have to wait for those weapon refiners to come. As far as I know, there are countless weapon refiners who have died at the hands of Yan Hai in these years. Yan Hai is after money and doesn't care about the lives of those weapon refiners at all. Doesn't this affect your envoy's major event? So, I beg you to give us a chance."
There was silence in the hall, and the envoy seemed to be thinking about what Chen Xiao said.
After a long while, the envoy said, "You are quite quick-witted. You gave me a reason not to kill you." Chen Xiao's tense muscles relaxed a little after hearing that, but then he became nervous again, "However, you can't leave for the time being. Lock you up for a while."
The envoy gave Peng Biao four rings and asked him to buckle them around the necks of four people. This ring has a similar effect to the poisonous essence powder, and it also prohibits the use of true essence.
The envoy was much more suspicious than Peng Biao. Even if Chen Xiao gave him the Poison Yuan Powder and the antidote, it would be of no use. He only believed in his own methods.
Xi Yunting stayed in the hall, and the three of them were locked in a room by Peng Biao. The door of this room was sealed with magic, and they couldn't get out without using their true energy.
After Peng Biao left, Chen Xiao tried to push the door, but it couldn't be opened at all.
Tong Nuonuo found a place to sit down and said to Chen Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, don't waste your energy. Come and help us get rid of this soul-locking ring."
Chen Xiao had no true energy in his body, so he was naturally not afraid of this magic weapon that only targeted true energy and spiritual energy. This was the most critical part of their plan, and it was also their reliance on escaping once they were trapped.
