Xuan Xiao was about to get angry when his integrity was questioned, but suddenly he calmed down, looked at him, then looked at Gao Han behind him, and narrowed his eyes.
"I, Xuan Xiao, am a man of my words. Since I promised to give you a year or so to live, I will keep my promise. But I have never made a promise to him."
"If you touch him, you are touching me." The arrogance on Zhongli Tingzhou's face disappeared instantly. His face became cold and stern, and a terrifying aura of oppression emanated from his body.
This kind of pressure has nothing to do with cultivation, but is the attitude and natural momentum of a superior, which cannot be learned by having a high level of cultivation.
Xuan Xiao exclaimed in surprise, noticing this strange change in him. This human being, who only had the Nascent Soul cultivation level, could actually have the aura of a king.
"Don't think that I won't dare to kill you just because of my promise." Xuan Xiao felt nothing after being surprised. What's the use of having the potential to be a king? It's useless if you lose your life and don't live to the end.
"You want to kill me in order to liberate your people?" Gao Han pushed Zhongli Tingzhou away. He was not the kind of man who would only hide behind other men.
Xuan Xiao was not afraid that he would see through it, "So what?"
Once the owner of the contract dies, the contract between him and the monster will disappear, unless it is an equal contract. In this case, no matter which party dies, it will cause certain harm to the other party.
Xuan Xiao was not worried about this kind of contract, because humans were greedy, how could they allow monsters to be on an equal footing with them, so as long as Gao Han was killed, he believed that that fellow human could be liberated.
Even now, he didn't believe that his people were willing to form a pact with the other party. He would rather believe that they were forced.
"It seems that you value your own people very much." Gao Han felt relieved. If he handed the wealth to them, there should be no problem.
Xuan Xiao frowned. What did this human mean by speaking in such a gratifying tone? He spoke as if he was the elder of the gold swallowing beast. Could it be that he was insulting the gold swallowing beast in an alternative way? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely, and his face darkened.
Gao Han didn't know that the adult gold-eating beast in front of him had a very strong brain circuit. He just noticed that he was suddenly unhappy again, and shook his head secretly in his heart. An adult gold-eating beast is really difficult to deal with.
"Whether I respect my own people or not is none of your business." Xuan Xiao revealed a sinister and malicious smile, and the power in his body was ready to move.
Zhongli Tingzhou noticed it immediately and stood in front of Gao Han again.
"If there is anything, wait until you die, maybe I can ask the demon god. Anyway, if I kill you, my people will be free. If I want to blame someone, I can only blame you for not signing a contract with a demon beast but a gold-devouring beast."
After Xuan Xiao finished speaking, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Gao Han was about to explain to him when his expression changed immediately.
At this moment, Fugui, sensing the murderous intent of his tribesmen, forced his head out of Gao Han's arms and uttered a faint whimper.
Zhongli Tingzhou was preparing to unleash his ultimate move when he swung his sword, but suddenly he found that the sharp murderous aura had disappeared, and was replaced by a loud bang.
Next to them, a hundred-meter-high tree that soared into the sky was smashed into pieces. The pieces fell like snowflakes and landed on Xuan Xiao's shocked face, which looked like he had seen a ghost. His eyes were dully staring at Fugui in Gao Han's arms.
Seeing that he was stunned, Zhongli Tingzhou did not stop swinging the sword, but just changed the sword's edge and knocked Xuan Xiao away with one sword. The sword then crashed into another big tree, and the whole tree was cut in half.
Gao Han couldn't help but look at him. This guy must have done it on purpose. Isn't he afraid that he would be angry?
Xuan Xiao was not angry. He just sat on the ground in a daze, his expression still dull, as if he was frozen in time.
"This guy is a fool." Zhongli Tingzhou put away his sword and stated coldly, without any sense of shame for attacking someone.
"I'm not a fool." Gao Han added, his train of thought was just a little strange, "I'll go over and take a look."
Zhongli Tingzhou stopped him and said, "Don't get close to him. Who knows if he has rabies?"
Gao Han: "...The gold-devouring beast is the descendant of the demon god."
Just like it looks a bit like a dog, it can't get rabies. Wake up, you drama queen.
While they were talking, Xuan Xiao finally reacted. He disappeared from the spot again and appeared in front of them in an instant. He originally wanted to rush to Gao Han to see the wealth in his arms, but was blocked by Zhongli Tingzhou's quick reaction.
"Get out of the way!" Xuan Xiao looked anxious.
"If you have anything to say, just say it here." Zhongli Tingzhou did not give in at all.
Xuan Xiao didn't know what he was worried about. This time he didn't dare to force his way through relying on his high cultivation level. He just stood there at a loss, with a very complicated expression, crying and laughing at the same time. After a while, he calmed down a little, looked at Gao Han and said awkwardly: "Is he the gold-eating beast that you have a contract with?"
"Since your true form is a gold-eating beast, can't you sense it?" Gao Han asked calmly.
"Yes." Xuan Xiao swallowed and said in disbelief, "I just didn't expect..."
He didn't say anything else, but showed an expression of crying and laughing again, and scratched his hair a little madly, like a crazy person.
"What didn't you expect?" Gao Han asked.
Just when he thought Xuan Xiao wouldn’t say anything, he grabbed his hair and said, “I just didn’t expect it to be a little cub!”
He always thought it was an adult gold-devouring beast, because the gold-devouring beast had not had any cubs born for many, many years. This was one of the reasons for the extinction of the gold-devouring beast. No cubs were born, and the population was constantly decreasing, which meant that sooner or later, the gold-devouring beast would become completely extinct.
This is the sorrow of the gold-devouring beast, and it is also their sorrow. It is the only fact that cannot be changed even if their strength is improved.
But now, what appeared before his eyes was actually a little cub!
Even though the young gold-devouring beast's appearance was not quite right, the blood power of the gold-devouring beast in his body could not be wrong. Even though what he sensed seemed a little thin and mixed, the fact that could not be concealed was that he was the young gold-devouring beast!
Xuan Xiao was so moved that he knelt down on his knees, with that crying and laughing expression again.
It’s really great that the gold-eating beast has offspring.
"Even if you want to thank me, you shouldn't kneel down on the ground." Gao Han deliberately misinterpreted the other party's meaning.
When Xuan Xiao heard this, he didn't care about the other party's rudeness and verbal advantage. He stood up again and stared at Fugui with a serious look, "What's wrong with him?"
He could feel that the little cub was a little weak now.
"Can't you see?" Gao Han asked in surprise. He thought that this adult gold-eating beast would know what happened to Fugui at a glance.
Xuan Xiao shook his head, "There seems to be some restriction in his body that prevents me from investigating."
Gao Han finally remembered, "So that's it. It was a restriction imposed by my master. He is a hybrid of a silver lizard and a gold-devouring beast. He has only stimulated the blood of the silver lizard since he was a child. A few months ago, he suddenly fell into a coma. My master said that this is because the gold-devouring beast blood in his body could not be guided and inherited by his clan members, and the power of the gold-devouring beast's blood is too strong, which caused him to be in a coma all the time."
"It turns out to be a hybrid beast. No wonder the gold-devouring beast bloodline in his body is relatively weak. And he has the appearance of a silver-sperm lizard. The silver-sperm lizard bloodline should be dominant. The gold-devouring beast bloodline does need the guidance of the tribesmen to be fully stimulated." Xuan Xiao nodded and said.
This is also why in ancient times, at their peak, the number of gold-devouring beasts was still only tens of thousands, while other races numbered in the millions or tens of millions. The sky-devouring beasts in ancient times were blessed with unique advantages, and it was not easy for each one to cultivate, but once they succeeded, their strength would be incomparably powerful.
The Demon God once said that if a force is too powerful, Heaven will restrict its development in some way. This is why the number of Sky-Devouring Beasts is so small.
Xuan Xiao felt refreshed. The blood of the gold-devouring beast cub had not yet been activated. Even if it made a contract with the human race, it would only be a contract with the blood of the silver-essence lizard, and it could not be that kind of innate contract.
With the strength of the gold-devouring beast's bloodline, there will be a way to terminate the contract after diluting the silver-essence lizard's bloodline in the future.
After realizing this, he stopped making things difficult for Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou.
"The purpose of bringing him here is to ask us to help him stimulate the power of the gold-devouring beast bloodline in his body, right? But how do you know that the gold-devouring beast is in Yizhang Ridge?" Xuan Xiao pointed out the doubt. The human race and the demons would not spread their news casually.
"Of course my master said so."
Xuan Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank, "You just said that the restriction in this little cub's body was set by your master himself?"
Gao Han seemed not to notice what he was thinking, and smiled: "My master arranged it, is there any problem?"
Of course there is a problem. He can even suppress the blood power of the gold-devouring beast and make it impossible for the important places to sense it. How could an ordinary person do this? If he was not born with a stronger sensitivity to blood power, they might have missed this little cub.
Xuan Xiao looked at the two humans in silence.
"Are you suddenly glad that you didn't kill us just now?" Zhongli Tingzhou said, revealing his scars.
"Who said that!" Xuan Xiao retorted loudly. Are you kidding? How could he be afraid of two weak humans?
"Don't you know that the bigger the reaction, the more it shows that you are guilty?" Zhongli Tingzhou sneered.
Xuan Xiao fell silent again, and awkwardly changed the subject, saying, "I don't want to discuss this with you now. Since you are here to return the cub of my tribe, then return the cub to me, and I will help him stimulate the blood power in his body."
"We are not here to return Fugui, but we hope you can help him." Gao Han raised his eyebrows and said.
"What did you say? Do you still want to take the cubs of my tribe for yourselves?" Xuan Xiao misunderstood his meaning and said angrily. He did not dare to release his murderous intent this time for fear of hurting the cub in his arms.
"He is my family. How can you just return it to me? It depends on whether he agrees or not." Gao Han looked calm.
Hearing his words, Xuan Xiao's anger paused, and he looked at him with strange eyes, "You regard the cubs of my tribe as your own family? And do you know that the cubs of the gold-devouring beast can only get a better inheritance if they stay with the tribe members? The inheritance of the gold-devouring beast is different from that of you humans."
