Chapter 157 - Star Seizer

After some research, Ling Xiao finally found the location of the astrologer.

Even when he was near the astrologer, Ling Xiao realized that the door was abnormally quiet. There wasn't even a guard present.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao could not help but frown, he lowered his head in thought for a moment, then swaggered in, not worried at all that the other party had some sort of scheme.

astrologer believed that the hilum was well-hidden, so she did not send anyone else to guard the place, but that was true. If not for the address given by the Stationery, Ling Xiao would have had a headache deep in the mountains and forests.

Although he was not guarded, Ling Xiao did not intentionally avoid them after entering the astrologer, so he was still discovered by the disciples of the astrologer.

Following a loud shout from a disciple of the astrologer that an enemy was attacking, Ling Xiao was quickly surrounded.

Looking at the tightly sealed surroundings, Ling Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and say: "I didn't realize it, there are actually so many people here, I thought this was an empty city."

In response to Ling Xiao's words, although every disciple of the astrologer had a vigilant expression, no one dared to step forward, and naturally no one dared to speak out either.

Ling Xiao only needed a few glances to know that these people were all newcomers who had never seen the world before, because the nervousness and fear on their faces were obvious.

Not long after Ling Xiao finished speaking, the crowd parted, and a middle-aged man slowly walked in with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao squinted his eyes.

"Sect Master Ling. You really know how to boast. Coming to my hilum alone, your courage is commendable. " The man said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao said unhurriedly: "Star Seizer, did I guess wrongly?"

The person did not answer, but the expression on his face proved that Ling Xiao was right.

"How can Sect Master Ling be so sure that I'm Starpicker?" Starpicker raised his eyebrows and asked.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, then said: "The person who wrote the letter to me was you, so of course the person who was most concerned about my arrival was you."

"As expected of the Sect Master Ling. He sure has some ability to be able to attract the attention of the entire Jianghu." Starpicker nodded and said with some surprise.

"There's no need to speak any more nonsense. What is the purpose of calling me over this time?" Ling Xiao asked.

Hearing this, Starseizing was silent for a moment, then he turned to the surrounding disciples and said, "Disperse. I want to have a good chat with this rare guest."

When the disciples of the astrologer heard this, they immediately scattered like birds. It was obvious that they were not willing to face a figure like Ling Xiao, who had deep influence within the Jianghu.

Of course, this was also's fault for not hiding his true strength. When the disciples of the astrologer s surrounded the area, Ling Xiao casually released a bit of killing intent, actually scaring them so much that they didn't even dare to move.

In the end, only a few astrologer disciples remained. Moreover, from their clothes, one could tell that these remaining disciples were somewhat capable, as if their positions in the astrologer were not low.

The key point was that Starpicker didn't open his mouth to expel them. This also meant that Starpicker had agreed to let them watch from the sidelines.

"Give us some space." Starpicker said.

With a "hualala" sound, the astrologer disciples all took a few steps back at the same time to ensure that they wouldn't overhear Ling Xiao and Starpicker's conversation.

Ling Xiao did not speak, he only watched silently as everything happened, and he finally had a plan. The reason Star Seizer did this was because he didn't want the disciples of the astrologer to know that the Divine Wood King Cauldron had been lost.

A treasure of the hilum was equivalent to the strongest method to stabilize the morale of the troops. If all the treasures in the sect were taken by someone, then what was there to look forward to about this gang?

It was just that Ling Xiao did not plan to let the Divine Wood King Cauldron go just like that, so he would not take the initiative to mention this treasure.

When there was no one around to interfere with their conversation, Starpicker said, "Sect Master Ling, I have already explained it clearly in the Stationery. As long as you hand over an item, it would be as if nothing happened."

After hearing that, Ling Xiao shook his head and said: "Treat it as if nothing happened? What are you talking about, and I don't know what you mean by people and objects. "

Seeing Ling Xiao's expression, Starpicker was a little angry, because in his opinion, Ling Xiao was pretending to be stupid, and was not willing to admit it.

"The person I was talking about was my junior brother, and I'm sure Sect Master Ling has seen him before, and there's also items called Divine Wood King Cauldron s. After my junior brother left the sect, he never came back, and I couldn't get any news from him either, until some disciples from the gangs said that my junior brother went to find Sect Master Ling, don't say that you haven't seen him." Starpicker looked at Ling Xiao and said solemnly.

Hearing that, Ling Xiao pretended to be thinking, and after a while, he nodded and said: "So it's a mortal son, I thought about it, there is indeed this person, I just met him not too long ago, what happened to him?"

Star Seizer was a little flustered and exasperated as he said: "Sect Master Ling, the rumors in Jianghu say that you are a person with morals, shouldn't you do things by yourself? If you lock up my junior brother, then I'll do something to that girl. "

Hearing that, Ling Xiao's face turned cold, and said coldly: "Looks like you admit to kidnapping Miss Ah Zi, I have come this time to ask for her hand in marriage."

Star Seizer frowned and said: "Of course I know, but I can't let this person go just like that. Even Sect Master Ling has to hand this person over."

Ling Xiao said with a cold smile: "You previously said that nothing happened, but do you know what happened at that time?"

Hearing this, Starpicker was somewhat confused, asking in puzzlement: "Sect Master Ling, what happened?"

"Your junior brother is actually ambushing me." If I wasn't so powerful, I'm afraid something bad would have happened. Do you know about this? " Ling Xiao said coldly.

After the conversation, Ling Xiao had a rough understanding of the situation. The actions of the Transcendent Daoist did not receive Star Seizer Zi's consent, and neither did the Divine Wood King Cauldron s. He had brought them out without permission, which meant that Ling Xiao had the confidence to negotiate with them.

When Starpicker heard this, his face couldn't help but change. He said carefully: "Sect Master Ling, you cannot speak carelessly. Although our astrologer doesn't have a good reputation, we wouldn't do such shameless actions. We definitely wouldn't provoke the Beggar Gangs for no reason."

However, Ling Xiao said with a cold smile: "Could it be that your junior brother brought out the Divine Wood King Cauldron, and you also agreed to it?"

Hearing this, Starpicker's face immediately became unsightly. He was forced into a passive situation because the Divine Wood King Cauldron was indeed brought out by the Transcendent Daoist.
