Chapter 373: Chapter 373
"Do your parents like astronomy?" Xiaoyao asked.
"You know Heart Moon Fox is a constellation? The Twenty-Eight Constellations, Eastern Azure Dragon - does this remind you of anything?" Heart Moon Fox asked with a smile, as if this name had some particular significance.
"What I would think of, you've already said. I don't understand this continent very well - we just came out from deep in the mountains." Xiaoyao shook his head and said.
"You came out from deep in the mountains?" Heart Moon Fox looked at Xiaoyao and asked.
If they came from deep mountains, they might be disciples of reclusive masters. Being able to cultivate an Emperor Level Peak at such a young age meant this reclusive master was also an absolutely powerful person.
Such people, if not necessary, were better left unprovoked.
"Yes, my boss was raised by an old master, along with three other young misses. Two of them are about as strong as my boss, and one just likes studying literature - her martial power isn't high." Xiaoyao said, revealing this information to scare them and see if they still dared to continue.
"..." Heart Moon Fox was silent for a while, then made a decision. "I hope what happened that day and today never occurred. We have no need to be enemies."
"Miss..." Cuihua wanted to speak. She wanted to say that they hadn't even seen anyone - how could they prove what he said was true? What if it was just bluffing?
"No need to say more, we're leaving! By the way, what's your name?" Heart Moon Fox didn't say much more and still decided to leave. Before leaving, she asked Xiaoyao's name.
"I'm called Li Yihun. If you want to cause trouble, come find me, Li Yihun. Remember that - Li Yihun." Xiaoyao said, emphasizing the name Li Yihun.
Heart Moon Fox understood that this name wasn't Xiaoyao's real name, but rather someone Xiaoyao disliked. Perhaps they could dig up something from this Li Yihun.
Without much delay, Heart Moon Fox left with Cuihua and the other woman. After leaving, Heart Moon Fox explained Cuihua's confusion about why they didn't wait for Guxing to appear.
"There's no need! If that girl has this strength, then we have no need to offend people we shouldn't offend over this small matter and bring trouble upon ourselves. If that girl doesn't have this strength, we can take them down anytime - there's no need to wait."
"What if they're just deceiving us and cause us trouble in the meantime?" Cuihua had another question.
"Don't worry. I didn't say anything at the time. What he can figure out is just that person's identity. Whatever happens to that person has nothing to do with us - we're just cooperating this time. If cooperation fails, we withdraw." Heart Moon Fox said very calmly.
"..." Cuihua seemed to understand. Their objective this time wasn't actually very important. It was just something Heart Moon Fox had suddenly agreed to on a whim. Originally, with Heart Moon Fox's status, doing such things was overkill. But Heart Moon Fox often did such things, so it wasn't strange.
"Also, now that we've left, that person will definitely continue. Don't forget - having you kill that young man was also that person's idea. He's afraid of being exposed. If he's exposed, he's dead!" Heart Moon Fox remained just as calm, completely uncaring about that person's life or death.
"That's true. He'll definitely send people to watch. Why should we scout the path for him? If we kick a stone, wouldn't that be very unworthy? We don't get much benefit from doing this anyway." Cuihua understood. She actually wasn't very willing to do this either - it was just that her miss had agreed, so she had no choice.
She now only hoped Xiaoyao could survive and not die so easily. That way, she might have a chance to eat such delicious grilled fish in the future. Although survival didn't necessarily mean she'd have the chance, there was still hope.
Regardless of whether Xiaoyao could survive this time, Heart Moon Fox and her people didn't think there was any possibility of meeting Xiaoyao again.
Next, Xiaoyao would need to face a group of people. This group wouldn't be so polite to him, and they had come prepared, because Heart Moon Fox had already sent the message.
Heart Moon Fox herself didn't plan to get involved, but she wasn't going to help Xiaoyao resolve the crisis either. She had deliberately concealed some clues that would be useful to Xiaoyao, not mentioning things that might make people retreat.
"Why are they coming again? What kind of day is today? I should have divined for myself first if I'd known." Xiaoyao looked at the group of people ahead with some headache. The aggressive manner of this group made him know these people came with ill intent - very ill intent.
"Aren't you all together? Why did Heart Moon Fox leave and you came?" Xiaoyao looked at one person in front and said, because he looked most like the leader.
"Heart Moon Fox - that woman isn't on the same side as me. She's too unreliable! I'm here now to take your lives. Do you want to suffer a bit, or do you want it quick? Choose for yourselves!" that person said.
Hearing this voice, this person wasn't the same one Heart Moon Fox had contacted that night. This meant these people should just be pawns sent over.
However, these pawns weren't light in weight. Among them were two Emperor Level Peak and one Mid Emperor Level - clearly targeting Guxing's strength. They wanted to eliminate both Guxing and Xiaoyao.
Really, how increasingly troublesome. Moreover, how were these Emperor Level martial artists becoming more and more common? Counting Heart Moon Fox's two subordinate women, five people had already come.
Heart Moon Fox? She definitely wasn't Emperor Level. Not that she wasn't at Emperor Level, but she had already surpassed the Emperor Level tier, and by quite a bit.
Looking at her age, she was only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Even if she had just surpassed the Emperor Level tier, she would become a figure under this sky in the future - a great figure who could overturn clouds and rain with a flip of her hand.
"I think we should be more peaceful and make an agreement - we won't interfere with each other." Xiaoyao smiled, seeming to want peaceful negotiations. Fınd the newest release on novel⁂fire.net
"Don't know whether to call you an idiot or a fool. Do you think so many of us came just to negotiate with you? Although you have an Emperor Level Peak boss, I'm not weak either. Plus these two guys - even if you're peak among peaks, we can still easily kill you." That person spoke very domineeringly, completely disregarding Xiaoyao and Guxing, or rather, treating them as dead people.
"What if my boss has already surpassed peak among peaks?" Xiaoyao asked with a smile.
"Surpassed or not, it's the same. I ask you, where's the girl with you? Call her out to die. We don't have so much time to wait." That person seemed not to think carefully about Xiaoyao's words. He disdained wasting time with Xiaoyao and disdained thinking carefully.
Now he just wanted to find Guxing, then kill them together and be done with it!!
"Wait, what did you just say? Surpassed peak among peaks?" Someone noticed Xiaoyao's wording and thought about it. If that was the case, then this matter was wrong.
Surpassing peak among peaks meant entering Saint Level. After entering Saint Level, that wasn't something several Emperor Level martial artists could handle, even Emperor Level Peak couldn't.
Unless they were extremely monstrous existences, but clearly, the three Emperor Level martial artists among these people weren't that type, otherwise they wouldn't be running errands killing people for others.
"Yes, surpassing peak among peaks means stepping into Saint Level. Do you still dare say you want to kill us?" Xiaoyao said with a light smile.
"What kind of joke is this? That girl is only about twenty years old - how could she step into Saint Level? Even Emperor Level Peak, I think you're just bluffing." The other party completely didn't believe Xiaoyao's words.
"Really? Soon you'll know whether I'm bluffing. I advise you to flee early, otherwise when my boss comes out, you won't be able to escape." Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Lying, definitely lying, trying to scare us. Were we raised on scares?
Those people treated Xiaoyao's words with disdain and prepared to give Xiaoyao some color. Just as they were about to act, they felt an aura - extremely intense, suddenly filling all the nearby area.
That kind of aura made both their bodies and thoughts temporarily pause...
"This... this is someone breaking through. This intensity of aura - Saint Level!! It's Saint Level!!"
Who was breaking through here?
"Saint Level, who is breaking through to Saint Level here!!"
This question filled everyone's minds, and what they could think of was Xiaoyao's boss - that girl they had mentioned before.
But they wouldn't believe this. Besides not wanting such consequences, they felt this was impossible. At such a young age, breaking through to Saint Level - what kind of concept was this?
On this land, while Saint Level wasn't few, they were still rare. To become Saint Level at this age was absolutely unique - not just in recent centuries, but throughout all history.
This was a historic moment. The people here would witness the success of a peerless genius. This might be something many people dreamed of, including these people here.
"No, we can't let her break through, or we're finished!!"
If these people hadn't come to cause trouble for Xiaoyao, they would indeed be very excited and feel honored. But now they couldn't possibly have such feelings - they only had fear, only terror.
If Guxing became Saint Level, they would be trash with combat power of five in front of her. Numbers could no longer constitute any advantage, moreover, their numbers weren't that many to begin with.
Even if they were just a bit away from entering Saint Level, this small gap wasn't something ordinary people could bridge. This small progress happened to form a qualitative change - each strength level was a boundary of qualitative strength transformation.
