Chapter 677: What Kind of Monsters Are Sitting at This Table?

"Master Xu."

Liu Lu's voice came from the communication bead.

Xu Xiaoshou was sitting at the coffee table on the first floor. On one side was Xiao Wanfeng, who was very attentive in serving tea and water, and on the other side was Xin Gugu, who was bored.

"Well, you say."

Listening to the voice in the communication bead, Xu Xiaoshou tapped the table with his index finger and looked at Xiao Wanfeng who was not resting with his strange eyes.

This guy can survive so well, isn't he afraid of sudden death?

He was already a sword sect. If he died suddenly because he didn't rest, wouldn't he be the first sword sect in the world to stay up late and die?

Xiao Wanfeng couldn't understand Xu Shao's strange eyes. Seeing him staring at him, he just smiled back and gestured for tea.

Xu Xiaoshou picked up the teacup and took a sip, and Liu Lu's voice appeared in his ears.

"That's right, Mr. Xu."

"According to your request, we investigated Jiang Xian's background, and the data we obtained is that there are seven throne guards around Jiang Xian, one Zhan Dao, and no Taixu accompanying him."

"Obviously, he has been traveling with only four thrones, but according to our observation, the throne guards around Jiang Xian today have two unfamiliar faces."

"We suspect that either the two familiar faces who have been following Jiang Xian have traveled far away to do business, or they have been damaged."

That is indeed a loss... Xu Xiaoshou secretly responded in his heart.

From this point of view, only Five Thrones, Yi Zhandao and Ling Taixu were left around Jiang Xian.

There is no Taixu guard, which is not surprising.

What level is Taixu?

Those were existences such as Gou Wuyue and Cen Qiaofu.

Even the storyteller, Haitang'er, is only at the pinnacle of Zhan Dao.

Therefore, Xu Xiaoshou was not surprised at all when there was no Taixu guard around Jiang Xian.

Although there is indeed no Taixu guard, looking at the fighting power next to this true semi-saint successor, it is really terrifying.

A young junior disciple actually wears a Zhan Dao guard and seven thrones when he travels.

This is simply comparable to the top combat power of a spiritual palace!

"But now, there are only five people left on the throne..."

Xu Xiaoshou began to think.

If you really want to take the initiative and kill Dao, you can leave it to Ajie for the time being.

But the remaining five thrones are not a force that can be underestimated.

Especially in Dongtianwang City.

Once there is a commotion, it is estimated that there will be many people who want to help the half-saint successor in times of trouble.

Therefore, we have to follow the conventional method, unless we call the Meisi people.

But calling the Seven Swordsmen to take action, such a huge favor, just to deal with a little Jiang Xian, Xu Xiaoshou felt that it was not worth it.

So he pondered for a moment and asked: "Is the news accurate? There is only one Zhan Dao?"

"Absolutely accurate!"

Liu Lu seemed to have received the guarantee from the senior management and was confident. After a pause, he continued:

"But if Xu Shao really wants to take action, I should say more."

"The Semi-Saint family has a bloodline mark to anchor its younger disciples. Once the body of a Semi-Saint successor is destroyed, not only will the mark protect his soul and remain immortal, but it will also lock the shooter and inject the power of a curse."

"So generally speaking, half-saint successors cannot die."

"Even if you really want to kill, you can only do it by sacrificing someone on your behalf."

"But the mark will search the host's memory. Once it is not covered up very well, the real person behind the scenes will still be dug out by the Semi-Saint Family."

"Even after all this is done, the Half-Saint Successor will only lose a physical body. As long as the mark protects him, the Half-Saint Successor can still be resurrected without any injuries when he returns to his family."

"So... I don't understand what kind of grudge Mr. Xu has against Jiang Xian, so I just remind him of this."

Xu Xiaoshou was a little surprised. There is such a method?

He thought of the cursed power injected into Jiang Tai's body when he blew himself up.

Even a throne guard has such a mark, so the power of the mark on Jiang Xian must be higher, right?

Thinking like this in his heart, Xu Xiaoshou usually does his job in a flawless manner, even if he is covering his ears.

"Who told you that I'm going to take action? It's because we are from a Half-Saint family. I'm just investigating his background." Xu Xiaoshou said.

"understandable."

Liu Lu did not refute.

How could he not know that Xu Shao and Jiang Xian had a small conflict at the door of Duojin Trading Company?

The two thrones that Jiang Xian suspected of traveling disappeared the night before Xu Shao had this question. What happened during this period can basically be judged by those who are bold enough to speculate.

But there are some things that everyone can only push in their minds and dare not ask out loud.

For example, when Liu Lu got the authority to investigate information, the first person he checked was not Jiang Xian, but Mr. Xu.

But Xu Shao's background in the Northern Territory is still too mysterious, and no such person has been found at all.

Either the Xu family is more awesome than the Jiang family, and the night owl can't dig out anything.

Or, there is only one horrifying and terrifying fact left - fabricated out of thin air!

But all of this has been investigated by thoughtful people, but everyone has tacitly chosen not to interfere or disturb.

Because if the latter is true, it would be fine. At best, it would reveal a fact.

But if it's the former, then the person offended is a truly hidden family!

It was precisely because of this situation that Liu Lu went to the trouble of telling Mr. Xu some inside information about the "Legend of Immortality" of the Semi-Saint Successor.

Unexpectedly and reasonably, Xu Shao's focus was not on this at all, and he didn't even respond.

"Did he listen to everything out of respect, but didn't mention it because he knew the "immortal legend" of the semi-saint descendant in advance?"

"Or did he listen to the whole thing out of curiosity, and finally emphasized again that it was not him, Young Master Xu, who wanted to kill people?"

Liu Lu didn't dare to think about these two, nor did he want to think about them.

He only did what he should do.

He only knew that even if Young Master Xu was not from a semi-saint family, there was the terrifying existence that Old Master Jian said behind him.

Maybe Young Master Xu's background was fake.

But Young Master Xu's people, with Old Master Jian's guarantee, were definitely real!

So, why would the Xu family, whose guards were more terrifying than Jiang Xian, the semi-saint descendant recognized by the world, fake their background?

The answer...

It's terrifying to think about it!

"Young Master Xu."

Liu Lu didn't pause for too long before telling the last piece of information.

"According to our understanding, of the five remaining guards beside Jiang Xian, only two are actually there to protect him."

"The rest are usually outside to collect information, or they have learned some important information and then return to Jiang Xian to report."

"At present, the purpose of Jiang Xian's coming to Dongtianwang City is still unknown, but it is probably not for the Holy Secret Land, but for other reasons."

"His goal seems to be related to the 'Three Disgusting Pupils'."

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes lit up when he heard the voice.

This "Night Cat"'s intelligence work, I have to say, is really something!

If the Three Disgusting Pupils can be found, then it is estimated that what Jiang Xian wants is almost the same as what he guessed, that is, for the "God Demon Pupil"!

"Anything else?" Xu Xiaoshou asked calmly.

Liu Lu seemed to pause on the other side of the communication bead.

Xu Xiaoshou knew that this guy should be waiting for him to ask what the "Three Disgusting Pupils" are, but when he saw that he didn't ask, he could definitely guess that he already knew something.

So, there is a high probability that he will not say more nonsense.

Sure enough, Liu Lu was silent for a while and then said:

"Then there is no other information. No matter who wants to take action, the only risk is the "Immortal Legend" I mentioned above and Jiang Xian's guards."

"As for the rest, I believe Xu Shao is also very confident."

Xu Xiaoshou was very satisfied.

He also recognized Yemao's work.

Especially Liu Lu's attitude, he said what he should say and raised what he should raise, just right, but not too much.

This man is very smart and should not be just a small figure.

So Xu Xiaoshou said: "Go and talk to your fourth boss Yuan, and give you a promotion. From now on, you and I will be connected alone, and no one else is needed."

The communication bead transmitted Liu Lu's slightly excited but not very excited voice.

"Thank you, Xu Shao for your advice, but the fourth boss said that he had expected you to say such words, so he promoted me in advance. Now, I am also considered an inner staff of Yemao."

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

This old fox...

Could it be that he was upset after being intimidated by me that day, so he used this insignificant chess move to turn the tables on me?

"Congratulations then."

Xu Xiaoshou didn't care, and said casually: "Finally, I will help tell your fourth boss Yuan that I will go to his house when I have time and ask him to clean the house. I am serious."

Liu Lu was stunned.

He could hear a little bit of tit-for-tat in this wave of high-level game.

But the "why" layer was a little hard to figure out.

Liu Lu didn't think much about it, and immediately responded after being stunned: "Okay, I will definitely convey it."

"Every word is correct." Xu Xiaoshou reminded.

"Yes."

Liu Lu said heavily: "Every word is correct!"

...

Xu Xiaoshou put down the communication.

Xin Gugu's inquiring eyes came over.

Although Xin Gugu didn't enter the meeting room last night, he could already infer something from the incident with Jiang Tai and some of the casual words of Xu Xiaoshou on the communication bead.

Xu Xiaoshou summarized: "Seven thrones, two of which are under personal protection, the other three are uncertain, and the last two..."

He glanced at the training room.

Xin Gugu understood at once.

The last two were defeated on the first floor of the sky.

Xiao Wanfeng was staring at the air with empty eyes.

Hearing the tone of Xu Shao and Xiao Xin Ge counting the throne masters in numbers, he had a premonition that something big might happen next.

But these things are probably irrelevant to him.

After all, he is just an ordinary person...

I just don't know why Xu Shao trusts him so much, and when talking about things, he didn't give a wink to let people leave?

Or...

Xiao Wanfeng suddenly thought of some of Xu Shao's previous twisted words: "If you become an accomplice, you can't be a traitor in the future."

No way... Thinking of this, Xiao Wanfeng panicked.

When other people talk about important things, they always send the servants away.

You, Master Xu, are the best. The more important the matter, the more you want the servants to hear it, because in this way, you become an accomplice and no one can escape?

——What kind of twisted and perverted psychology is this? !

"Master Xu, Master Xu?"

Xiao Wanfeng couldn't help but interrupt the two of them, holding up the teapot and motioning, "Shall I add water?"

"No, you continue to heat the tea."

Xu Xiaoshou took the teapot, added ice with Three Days of Frozen Tribulation, melted it with Cinders, and handed it back. He said to Xin Gugu as if no one was around: "In addition, there is a Zhan Dao guard, no more."

Xiao Wanfeng took the teapot, as if he had taken over a Zhan Dao, his hands were shaking a little.

Xin Gugu motioned this guy to give him a pot of tea, and then continued: "So, Master Xu, do you want to attack Jiang Xian?"

"Yeah."

Xu Xiaoshou nodded.

This time, he must take the initiative.

No matter if he has one or two Zhan Daos, as long as he is not too weak, everything will be fine.

"Bang~"

Just then, the teacup belonging to Xin Gugu was suddenly knocked over by Xiao Wanfeng's hand.

Xu and Xin looked down at the same time.

Seeing Xiao Wanfeng's hand shaking, he re-fixed the teacup, and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Master Xu, Brother Xiaoxin, I'll go down and change a new pot of tea?"

Xu Xiaoshou didn't answer yet.

"Are you going to mess with Jiang Xian?" A surprised voice came from the stairs.

Mu Zixi flew over and sat down, waved her hand and sprinkled a handful of tea leaves into the teacup, motioning Xiao Wanfeng to bring her a cup, and said excitedly: "Why don't you bring me! When will you start?"

Xiao Wanfeng's eyes widened, and his whole body was numb.

He stared at the Mu aunt who casually summoned tea leaves.

"So, is this the advanced application of wood attribute..."

Then he shuddered and reacted.

He took out a new teacup from the space ring with trembling hands, and stuttered: "Mu, Mu aunt, this tea, teacup you put down is Xiao Xin's..."

"Oh."

Mu Zixi pushed the teacup away with disdain, and then waved at the scattered tea leaves and tea, all of which turned into spiritual power and shattered, and then took out a handful of tea leaves and said to the back: "Give her one too."

Xiao Wanfeng turned around and saw the little sister who didn't say a word.

If nothing unexpected happens, her name is "Mo Mo".

"Mo, Miss Mo..." Xiao Wanfeng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Mo Mo was stunned.

Hearing this title, her steps stopped, and then she smiled and said softly: "No need to call me that, call me Miss Mo."

With a whistle, there seemed to be a breeze blowing outside the open door of the first floor in the sky.

This ethereal voice instantly eased the tension and crampedness in Xiao Wanfeng's heart.

Xiao Wanfeng looked at this peaceful smile that could melt the wind and snow, and was stunned for a while.

He was most afraid of this kind of serious people before.

But at this moment, Mo Mo, in his opinion, seemed to be the most normal human being among Xu Shao's group!

Before he made a final decision in his heart, he saw Mo Mo just walked to the tea table, pulled out a chair and sat down, and then said to Xu Shao: "Is there a way to kill? Do you need me to take action?"

"Boom", like a bolt from the blue.

Xiao Wanfeng's mind was blank on the spot, and he felt the sudden arrival of the wind and snow, and shivered.

What the hell is Ru Mu Chun Feng, what absurd normal human being...

Miss Mo, isn't she Xiantian?

Where did she get the courage to say that she would deal with Zhan Dao?

Xiao Wanfeng was shocked.

He glanced at the four people who were sitting or lying on the sides of the tea table in different postures, and suddenly felt dizzy.

What kind of monsters are sitting at this table?
