"The Desolate Palace was established nearly three months ago. Since its establishment, it has been a land-level power. There is no such thing as a human-level power."
"Just established? Then, do the Heavenly King and Heavenly Palace know that you are so arrogant?"
Zhao Xinluo's tone was a little heavier, making Ah Zhu look like a little leopard about to pounce, but was held by Xia Xiao. This behavior made Zhao Xinluo raise his head and look down at people, obviously looking down on them. How can they be worthy of the local power with such impetuousness? They are just two furry children. When Zhao Xinluo thought so, Xia Xiao still bowed respectfully and said:
"To be honest, the one who said that the Desolate Palace was a ground-level force was the Heavenly King. As for the Heavenly Palace, we have already been there."
"How insolent! Don't think that just because you helped me once, you can lie to me. You can't just go to the Heavenly Palace at will? What are you going there for? To attract attention?"
"Can you speak?"
Ah Zhu shouted, but Zhao Xinluo didn't take it seriously. But this was exactly what Xia Xiao wanted. He could look at himself however he wanted. The more serious the words were at this time, the more he dared not refuse to join the Desolate Palace and betray after knowing the truth.
Just by looking at Zhao Xinluo's face, he knew that he was not someone to be trifled with. He dared to speak like this after seeing Ah Zhu's attack, which showed that he was arrogant and conceited. The more this happened, the more Xia Xiao wanted to see his expression in the future, so he deliberately acted arrogant, but what he said was also true.
"Senior has been hiding here for a long time, so it's normal that you don't know a lot of things. But we are not going there casually, but the Palace Master sent Ma Dan Tian Wang with a four-winged Pegasus to take us into the palace. As for what we are doing, it is to help him break through the shackles of Xishu. Now the Palace Master is in seclusion, but as long as you leave this Qingshan and go to the Deserted Palace, you will know whether what we said is true or false."
“You guys are really good at making up stories!”
Zhao Xinluo snorted again, which made Ah Zhu very angry. He immediately used his energy to cover the green mountain, and then said in an almost threatening tone:
"Although we came to invite you to join the Desolate Palace, you were disrespectful first, so don't blame us for being rude!"
"Then I want to see how strong you are!"
After that, the sky's source energy rose up, and an eagle's cry spread throughout the sky. The overwhelming source energy came, and it was about to cover the two people in front of him. This move was obviously a test, but Zhao Xinluo also used a lot of source energy, but Ah Zhu only needed one finger to pierce it and hurt it.
An irresistible strong source of energy broke through the defense, broke his outer shield, injured his flesh, and made him spit out blood. His face became even more panicked. He originally thought that the two were just pretending to be mysterious, but two consecutive times were enough to prove their strength. Therefore, the short competition ended here, and Zhao Xinluo hurriedly said:
"I know I was wrong, please show some mercy!"
Ah Zhu snorted, and when he withdrew his hand, the violent aura and bloody smell disappeared without a trace, and everything returned to its original state. The speed of releasing and retracting power surprised Zhao Xinluo secretly. Could it be that they really had something special that made the Heavenly Palace approve the Desolate Palace to directly become a ground-level force?
Zhao Xinluo has lived for tens of thousands of years. He has seen countless strong people from all walks of life, but he has never heard of such a thing. However, due to the current situation, he couldn't say anything nonsense or ask any more questions. He just looked at the two and listened to them:
"Now that you have shown mercy, can you please listen to us?"
Zhao Xinluo nodded, and Ah Zhu motioned for Xia Xiao to come. Their relationship was obvious, but Zhao Xinluo would never have thought that they were husband and wife. In this day and age, who would choose to tie themselves up in knots at the age of being romantic and dashing?
"Some time ago, the Desolate Palace recruited the first batch of disciples. Now we lack strong people to stay in the palace to help the disciples solve their problems. As you know, there are many free people in the Prosperous Continent, but not many strong people. So we found you and hope that you can join the Desolate Palace and guide the younger generation. Of course, as a reward, your treatment will definitely not be bad."
"From your tone, you shouldn't be from Xishu, right?"
"This junior is from the fourth-level world."
"Level 4, she too?"
"Who are you looking down on? When you leave this Daqing Mountain, you will know how powerful I am."
Ah Zhu snorted a few times, but Xia Xiao didn't blame her for being rude. He just said apologetically:
"Azhu has a straightforward personality, please don't be offended, but what she said is not wrong. When you go to the Desolate Palace, or walk out of here, you will know how special the Desolate Palace is now."
Zhao Xinluo fell silent. Could it be that he was really behind the times? In his memory, there was no such absurd force. But looking at the strength, conversation and demeanor of the two people, it seemed that everything was true. But could two outsiders really do something that seemed like a miracle?
Zhao Xinluo couldn't make up his mind for the time being, although he wanted to persuade himself to believe what they said, after all, he owed them a favor and lost to them. But this was too unreasonable and made him subconsciously unwilling to believe it.
"What do you think, senior?"
"I have been living in seclusion for more than 20 years. During this time, I have only left Qingshan once, and that was to collect sacred medicinal herbs and holy fruits. So, forgive me for being frank, I still don't want to go to your sect. Although your sect has a lot of resources that can help me break through the shackles, if it was really just to break through my strength, I would definitely join a force back then, and I wouldn't have to be so embarrassed like now. In the end, I am used to being free and undisciplined, and I am not used to that kind of life. Please forgive me."
"The rules of my Huang Palace are not strict. Please consider this, Senior."
Seeing that they were unwilling to leave, Zhao Xinluo immediately became anxious. He was afraid of this kind of people. They were strong and thick-skinned. They were really invincible. During this confrontation, Ah Zhu secretly asked Xia Xiao what to do. The latter had no choice but to say:
"We have to trick him into going to the Desolate Palace. He just doesn't understand the current situation. As long as we get him out of here, he will be much easier to talk to. And as long as we make him go to the Desolate Palace, whether he stays or not depends on Yu Shangyan's ability."
"Are you trying to pass the buck to her?"
Ah Zhu secretly cheered, they just need to take the person there, as for whether they can keep him, it depends on Yu Shangyan. But Ah Zhu also has confidence that as long as they reach the Deserted Palace, the situation there will definitely change. Thinking of this, Ah Zhu still feels that he is powerful, but at present, it depends on how Xia Xiao performs.
Xia Xiao, who was always stingy, took out a wooden box from his empty ring and handed it forward with both hands. Zhao Xinluo saw this and did not take it, which was too abrupt. But Xia Xiao pulled the wooden box open a little and said with pain:
"Senior, this is a ten thousand year old top grade Wind God Ginseng. Even though the resources in the Desolate Palace are abundant, it is still a rare item. Please accept it as our greeting gift."
"No, no, it's too valuable!"
Seeing the rich glow of the spiritual medicine, Zhao Xinluo attached more importance to the two of them. Even if it was a ground-level force, they would have to grit their teeth to give it out. But looking at Xia Xiao, he didn't seem to be reluctant to give it up, which showed how generous the Desolate Palace was. But if he wanted to buy himself off with a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, he was underestimating Zhao Xinluo.
The two of them kept refusing, but Xia Xiao straightened his face and pretended to be serious and acted like a rogue.
"Senior, no matter what, we helped you once before. Shouldn't you repay us?"
"this……"
Zhao Xinluo was speechless for a moment. He should indeed repay the two, but was it not a good idea to threaten them with his visit to the Desolate Palace? Xia Xiao was not a very upright person, but he would not threaten them in that way, otherwise the effect would not be good, so he said:
"Don't worry, senior. We won't threaten you to go to the Desolate Palace to be an elder. Instead, we will ask you to go to the Desolate Palace and wait until you get there and know the details before making a decision. How do you think?"
Zhao Xinluo's eyes lit up and he asked:
"Are you serious?"
"really."
Xia Xiao always kept his word, which gave Zhao Xinluo a good opportunity. He expressed his opinion immediately, fearing that Xia Xiao would regret it.
"Then I will go for a visit. If it is suitable, I will definitely repay you two for your help. If it is not suitable, I am afraid I will have to return to this Qingshan and continue to be a free man."
"We only propose, the power to decide lies in the hands of our predecessors."
Zhao Xinluo said yes directly, but his first reaction was that the two people in front of him were a little stupid. They clearly had the capital to negotiate with him, but they wanted to use the etiquette of saints. It was really stupid. But the confidence when Xia Xiao and Azhu looked at each other made him vaguely look forward to it. What on earth was this deserted palace that could make them believe that they could stay if they went there?
"Senior, when are you going to leave?"
"Right now."
"Then I'll take you there!"
After Ah Zhu finished speaking, a clone appeared beside her, who looked exactly like her and said softly:
"Come with me!"
It is not difficult to create a clone. There are many techniques that can do it. Zhao Xinluo has seen it before, but it is very difficult to create a clone that is exactly the same, and even the aura cannot be sensed. He subconsciously followed Ah Zhu's clone and asked:
"What about you? We have some things to do. We will meet in the Deserted Palace afterwards. I'm sorry I can't lead the way."
"No problem! No problem!"
"Hurry up, stop dawdling!"
Ah Zhu in the air complained a few words, causing Zhao Xinluo to rush forward. As he left, he vaguely felt that he had fallen into a trap, but he had already agreed, so he had to go over and see what kind of power the Desolate Palace was. Seeing his figure tearing through the space, Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu on the treetops smiled at each other.
“The first one succeeded!”
“It will get smoother and smoother from now on!”
Ah Zhu thought so too, and followed the map on the scroll to find the second strong man. However, the location of this strong man was not in a huge mountain like Zhao Xinluo, but in a city called Jishi, so they had to ask around.
But as long as there is the precedent of Zhao Xinluo, the following hermits are very easy to persuade. First, they have heard about themselves, and second, Zhao Xinluo, who is at the peak of the fourteenth level, has already gone to the Deserted Palace. What reason do they have to hide their identities? Now is a great era for making achievements and establishing careers. We should not be so quiet all the time.
There is plenty of time to rest after death, but one must have long-term ambitions while alive. Standing in front of Jishi City, Ah Zhu said with emotion:
"I suddenly feel that the Fanfeng Continent is so huge. Just the northeast corner is half of the Great Wilderness."
"Of course not. This is a level six world."
Xia Xiao went into the city with him, but was shocked by the scene in the city. This Jishi City was really... desolate.
