Chapter 384 I'm Not in a Hurry (1/2)

Chapter 384 I'm not in a hurry

In the Xiao Clan Square, Xiao Shengyi's body was hung high, exposed to the scorching sun, silently bearing the scorn of every passing Xiao Clan member.

A week has passed since Xiao Shengyi was [justly executed] by Xiao Wuyun. During this week, Xiao Wuyun fulfilled his promise to the Xiao Clan members, released the Xiao Clan members previously captured by Xiao Shengyi, and released a large number of resources that he had once tilted to the Xiao Clan Saint Guards one by one, which made Xiao Wuyun's reputation continue to rise during this week and has reached a peak.

In contrast, the Xiao Clan Saint Guards' resentment towards Xiao Wuyun became deeper and deeper due to the large reduction in resources, and their daily patrol work was also visibly passive and perfunctory.

At the beginning, they had worked hard to get into the Xiao clan's holy guards in order to obtain the large amount of resources that the family had tilted towards the Xiao clan's holy guards. Now, all those resources have been returned to the Xiao clan members, and because of Xiao Shengyi's incident, they can no longer show off their power and prestige to the ordinary Xiao clan members. In addition to suffering and being discriminated against, the work they do is really working for Xiao Wuyun in vain.

Xiao Ying hid in the crowd, looking at the body of Xiao Shengyi hanging high, a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes.

Such a loyal person, and the only eight-star Dousheng in the family, was abandoned so easily by Xiao Wuyun.

However, although Xiao Ying felt compassion for Xiao Shengyi, he did not have any sympathy at all.

Good people and bad people will not die, only stupid people will die.

Xiao Shengyi is indeed loyal, but if he had thought about it a little more, why did Xiao Wuyun let him arrest the Xiao people even though he knew that the Xiao people were full of complaints, and thought about the reasons instead of blindly carrying out the execution, he would not have ended up like this.

In a sense, this is also his own fault.

However, Xiao Ying is not interested in this, but in another aspect.

Because Xiao Wuyun won over the Xiao people at the cost of Xiao Shengyi, the skills and fighting techniques that he secretly gave to the Xiao people were also handed over by the Xiao people one by one. I am afraid that it is no longer feasible to expect to make trouble among the Xiao people.

Since the Xiao people are not working, then change the angle and start from the Xiao people's holy guards.

The question Xiao Ying is currently thinking about is how to incite the Xiao people's holy guards?

It would definitely not work if he continued to use his previous identity as the murderer. Although the Xiao clan's holy guards were now quite resentful of Xiao Wuyun, they still knew in their hearts who had caused them to end up like this. If he dared to appear in front of them as the murderer, let alone incite them, he would probably rush up and peel off his skin.

It would not work to pretend to be one of the Xiao clan's holy guards to incite. Compared with the Xiao clan members, the Xiao clan's holy guards were not as numerous, and each team had a special superior in charge. Moreover, although the resources of the Xiao clan's holy guards were cut by half, they were actually just returning to normal levels. Except for the two captains who knew the truth about Xiao Shengyi's death, most of the Xiao clan's holy guards did not have the conditions to be easily incited by the Xiao clan members, and they would expose themselves if they were not careful.

Let alone pretending to be a member of the Xiao clan to incite the Xiao clan's holy guards. Now the Xiao clan's holy guards and the Xiao clan members were two opposite sides. As a member of the Xiao clan, he would give up his good life and go to incite the Xiao clan's holy guards who stood on the opposite side to rebel? Anyone with a normal mind would wonder what your intentions are.

Therefore, you must be someone that most of the Xiao clan’s holy guards can agree with, and even the captain is willing to support.

At present, Xiao Ying can only think of two such people. One is the clan leader Xiao Wuyun, and the other one

Xiao Ying looked at the body of Xiao Shengyi in the square, and the corner of her mouth moved, bending out a slight arc that was almost non-existent.

She already has a way.

However, she can’t be impatient.

Xiao Ying glanced at the Xiao clan’s holy guards hiding in the dark. It was obvious that they were specially assigned by Xiao Wuyun. It was probably because he guessed that he had ideas about Xiao Shengyi’s body, so he arranged his men to guard in advance. Once he appeared, he would be immediately surrounded by these Xiao clan’s holy guards.

Although the fighting spirit and soul are gone, it is the bloodline of the eight-star fighting saint after all, and the value is still quite high. Xiao Wuyun can’t absorb it in order to hide himself, and he will not be willing to give this bloodline to himself.

The idea is no problem.

Xiao Ying smiled coldly and slowly turned away.

Perhaps as the clan leader, you can control more things than me, but you are in the open, facing me in the dark, you can only counter my moves.

However, it is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.

Once or twice, you can still defend yourself.

But as long as it happens more, you will reveal your flaws sooner or later.

Xiao Ying's eyes were full of sinisterness.

Take your time, I am not in a hurry at all.

Time passed quickly, and Xiao Shengyi was finally stolen after being hung in the square for a year.

At first, the Xiao clan's holy guards could strictly execute Xiao Wuyun's order to keep a close eye on Xiao Shengyi's body, but as time went on, they became less and less concerned about guarding the body.

The person is already dead, is it necessary to guard so attentively?

With this mentality, any Xiao clan holy guard who received the task of guarding Xiao Shengyi's body would just mess around and not be sad about it at all.

It was precisely because of this that after a night, they discovered that Xiao Shengyi's body had disappeared from the square at some point.

At this time, two captains of the Xiao clan holy guards stood in the square, looking at the wooden stake where Xiao Shengyi's body was originally hung, which was now empty.

Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu were the people who were once promoted by Xiao Shengyi himself, and they were also the only two people in the Xiao clan holy guards who knew the truth about Xiao Shengyi's death.

The four Xiao clan holy guards beside him knelt on the ground, trembling, and their minds kept emerging with various severe punishments for losing the body. You must know that this was an order issued by the clan leader himself, and they actually neglected their duties, not asking for forgiveness, but only asking to save their lives.

However, at this time, Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu did not blame them at all, but instead breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The captain finally didn't have to be humiliated by the corpse anymore.

In this year, every time they saw Xiao Shengyi's body being wantonly humiliated and spit on by the Xiao clan, Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu felt heartbroken, but they could not stop their behavior and could only watch.

Xiao Shengyi's crime was decided by Xiao Wuyun himself, and it was Xiao Wuyun's order to hang his body here. Without Xiao Wuyun's nod, who dared to take Xiao Shengyi's body down without authorization?

And today, Xiao Shengyi's body was finally freed from the sea of ​​suffering.

Although they didn't know who stole Xiao Shengyi's body, and didn't know what that person was going to do with it, Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu both applauded in their hearts.

No matter what Xiao Shengyi's body was taken for, it was much better than continuing to be exposed to the wind and rain and being humiliated by everyone.

"Captain, we..."

"Okay, all get up." Xiao Lei waved his hand lightly, "I will report this matter to the clan leader in person, and do what needs to be done."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Captain Xiao Lei!"

The four Xiao clan holy guards were as if they had been pardoned. Seeing Xiao Lei like this, it was obvious that he was ready to help them solve this matter.

However, Xiao Lei looked very relaxed on the surface, but his heart was also slightly beating. Xiao Wuyun personally ordered to dispatch the Xiao clan's holy guards to guard Xiao Shengyi's body, but it was still stolen. Xiao Wuyun was angry.

Facts proved that Xiao Lei was right.

"Four Xiao clan holy guards were dispatched to guard the body, but the body was still stolen?! What do you do?!!"

In the clan leader's mansion, Xiao Wuyun was furious and kept cursing after hearing Xiao Lei's report.

As for the thief, Xiao Wuyun knew it well. Who else could it be except Xiao Ying?

He put Xiao Shengyi's body in the square to greatly reduce the resentment of the Xiao clan. Originally, Xiao Wuyun thought that when the Xiao clan felt that the matter was over after a while, he would secretly steal Xiao Shengyi's body back.

Although Xiao Shengyi's bloodline was not so excellent, it was at least the bloodline of an eight-star Dou Sheng. Xiao Ying got it so cheap!

To be honest, if Xiao Wuyun was really determined not to let Xiao Ying get Xiao Shengyi's body, the method was very simple. He would personally guard Xiao Shengyi's body day and night. With him guarding, Xiao Ying would not be able to steal the body even if he had great ability.

But is this possible?

Xiao Wuyun is a clan leader after all. He has to deal with a lot of things. Where does he have the time to stare at a corpse every day?

But then again, Xiao Ying actually took more than a year to take action, which really surprised Xiao Wuyun. A corpse with the blood of an eight-star Dousheng was clearly displayed in the square. It was a pity that she could hold back all the time.

Forget it, the body has been stolen, and it is useless to get angry. After all, it is just a corpse. Xiao Shengyi's blood is not that excellent. If you really think about it carefully, Xiao Wuyun doesn't think it is a pity.

What's more, now he has more important things to solve.

"Forget it, let's just leave it alone." Xiao Wuyun waved his hand calmly, looked at Xiao Lei and continued: "Compared to this, I have another thing to give you."

"Please speak clearly, clan leader."

Hearing that Xiao Wuyun would no longer pursue the theft of Xiao Shengyi's body, Xiao Lei breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head with a serious face. Xiao Wuyun tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly.

"Today, the spy outside the Xiao clan sent a message that Xiao Ling's trace was found on the road. Tomorrow you will take three elites from the Xiao clan's holy guards to capture Xiao Ling and bring her back alive."

As Xiao Wuyun said this, a hint of imperceptible fanaticism flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Ling's bloodline is only slightly inferior to Xiao Ying's. It is also a top bloodline that is rarely seen in a hundred years in the Xiao clan. Xiao Wuyun has coveted it for a long time. The reason why he didn't do it before was because of two reasons.

First, he had usurped Xiao Ying's bloodline and made her a cripple. This could be explained as an accident, but if Xiao Ling was also crippled, it would not be so easy to fool around.

A genius becoming a cripple was just a coincidence.

But if two geniuses were crippled, the family would not rest until they had thoroughly investigated the matter. Who knows if the third genius would suffer the same fate. For the future of the Xiao family, they must find out the reason. By then, the idea of ​​long-term development might not be realized. Xiao Wuyun would not do such a thing as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

The second reason was that the Great Elder stood behind Xiao Ling. At that time, Xiao Wuyun had not yet seized the power of the Great Elder, so he could not conflict with him for the time being. Once he touched Xiao Ling, the Great Elder would really fight him to the death regardless of anything. He could beat him, but at the same time, the idea of ​​playing the long game to catch the big fish would be shattered.

After dealing with the Great Elder and the Second Elder, Xiao Wuyun started to think about Xiao Ling's bloodline again. However, at that time, Xiao Ling had already gone away. He had been ordering people to find Xiao Ling's whereabouts for these years, and finally got the news today.

To be honest, the moment he got the news, Xiao Wuyun wanted to go out and catch Xiao Ling himself.

However, after calm thinking, Xiao Wuyun still assigned this task to Xiao Lei, and the reason was very simple.

Xiao Ying, now confirmed to be in the Xiao clan, all the previous series of chaos were secretly caused by Xiao Ying, and even caused him to kill Xiao Shengyi in order to restore his reputation.

Although he won the secret confrontation, Xiao Wuyun had to admit that it was a miserable victory. At the same time, he had to admit that although Xiao Ying's strength was not as good as his, his means were not inferior at all.

At present, Xiao Ying only dared to do some small tricks in secret because she knew that her strength was completely incomparable to his. She didn't dare to stand in front of him at all. She could only use conspiracy and tricks to compete with him. Even so, Xiao Wuyun didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all.

And if he dared to leave the family without authorization in this situation, even if he successfully captured Xiao Ling, Xiao Wuyun really didn't dare to think about what the Xiao family would be stirred up by Xiao Ying.

Xiao Wuyun looked at Xiao Lei and sternly instructed.

"Remember, you must bring Xiao Ling back, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes."

Xiao Lei responded in a deep voice and turned to leave the clan leader's mansion.

Outside the clan leader's mansion, Xiao Lei turned his head with a cold face and looked at the gate of the clan leader's mansion, with a slight chill in his heart.

The granddaughter of a great elder who had died for several years, even if she was really a traitor, had no reason to be valued so much by Xiao Wuyun.

After thinking about it, Xiao Lei could only think of one reason, a very special reason for Xiao Ling, that is, her excellent bloodline.

(Sure enough, the rumor that the clan leader can absorb bloodline power is not false)

Xiao Lei murmured in his heart and walked slowly towards the office of the Xiao clan's holy guard.

In fact, he didn't want to execute Xiao Wuyun's order. It was not because he knew Xiao Ling or because he felt sympathy, but simply because he hated Xiao Wuyun.

Because of Xiao Shengyi's incident, he had no loyalty to Xiao Wuyun, the high clan leader.

Loyalty? Have you seen Xiao Shengyi's end? In terms of the loyalty of the entire Xiao clan to Xiao Wuyun, who dares to claim first place if Xiao Shengyi says second? His strength is the only eight-star Dousheng in the family now, but he was still abandoned by Xiao Wuyun without hesitation?

Xiao Lei had seen through it completely. If he continued to follow Xiao Wuyun, he and Xiao Yu would sooner or later end up like Xiao Shengyi.

But Xiao Wuyun had already personally ordered him to capture Xiao Ling, and he could not resist him.

What should he do? Should he live one day at a time?

Xiao Lei kept thinking about this question in his heart. At this time, he also came to the office of the Xiao clan's holy guard and entered his room.

However, as soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Yu approaching. His movements were a little flustered, but his eyes were full of excitement. He made a gesture to Xiao Lei to keep silent, gently closed the door, and raised his hand to greet Xiao Lei.

"Follow me."

Hmm?

Xiao Lei's expression twisted in confusion, and he followed Xiao Yu into the depths of the room. Immediately, he saw a person who looked very weak sitting on the main seat in the dim room.

When he saw this person, Xiao Lei's expression was like being struck by lightning, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.

Captain? ! !
