Chapter 163 - Assault by Black Robe

Since the situation had developed to this point, no matter what kind of outcome would occur in the future, Xingzi was already prepared to bear the burden. At the very least, he understood that Ling Xiao was a god of death that he should not offend.

If he really wanted to take action against Ling Xiao, even an entire astrologer wouldn't be enough to kill him.

Originally, Ling Xiao's strength was above all of them. Now that there were Divine Wood King Cauldron in hand, astrologer's odds of victory were zero unless... Using Ah Zi as a hostage.

But just as this thought was about to arise in Starpicker's mind, Ling Xiao silently arrived next to Ah Zi like a microstep.

All of a sudden, Starpicker's last hope was shattered.

"Starpicker, do you have any other ideas?" Seeing Star Seizer standing there in a daze, Ling Xiao instantly guessed what he was thinking, because right now, it seemed that the only thing he could do was to threaten him with his servants.

Of course, Ling Xiao would not let his scheme succeed. If not for the fact that Ling Xiao was the sect master of the Beggar Gangs and needed to take care of his reputation, he would not even bother to reason with them.

After being asked by Ling Xiao, Starpicker was so scared that he almost jumped up. He immediately waved his hand and said: "Sect Master Ling has misunderstood me, what thoughts could I have? You must be overthinking it."

"Is that so? Since there are no problems, then I will take my leave. If I have time in the future, I will definitely come and visit my junior brothers." Ling Xiao laughed and said.

Hearing this, although Starpicker felt displeased in his heart, on the surface he could only smile in agreement.

Therefore, Ling Xiao pulled Ah Zi and openly left the astrologer. Before leaving, he asked them for a fast horse.

Ling Xiao was not worried at all about astrologer reneging on her promise. Although it was just a contract between Starpicker and Qian Shu, but according to the written rules of Jianghu, once it was signed, it would be effective, not to mention that at that time, only Starpicker was in the sect alone and had the authority to take care of this matter. That was why Starpicker was not an individual, but a representative of astrologer.

If they all complied with the agreement, then astrologer would definitely be denounced by the people of the Jianghu. At that time, that kind of pressure would definitely be unbearable for the astrologer.

On the way back, Ah Zi hugged Ling Xiao tightly, afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

"They didn't bully you, did they?" Ling Xiao asked.

When Ah Zi heard this, she softly said from Ling Xiao's back: "No, but they threatened me. If Ling Xiao does not come, it will take my life."

"Oh? They really look down on me too much. I didn't even pay attention to such a small astrologer. " Ling Xiao said with a faint smile, as if he did not care in the slightest.

"Oh right, Eldest Brother Ling Xiao, how is my sister?" Ah Zi suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but be taken aback. He didn't think that Ah Zi would think of Ah Zhu so quickly, but it was no wonder the two of them had been relying on each other since they were young.

Hearing that Ling Xiao did not directly answer, Ah Zi's heart suddenly thumped for a moment as he nervously asked, "Eldest Brother Ling Xiao, is my sister alright?"

Ling Xiao sighed lightly, then said: "Don't be anxious Miss Ah Zi, I'll bring you to a place."

Right now, he was rushing on his way, and Ling Xiao was not willing to speak of the truth, or else it would affect his state of mind.

Regarding Ling Xiao's words, Ah Zi was curious, could it be that Ling Xiao was hiding something from him?

But Ling Xiao was unwilling to speak, so Ah Zi didn't know how to ask.

Riding a horse, Ling Xiao brought Ah Zi to the place where he had buried Ah Zhu.

Because there was not much time left, the moment he got off the horse, the smell of blood rushed into his nose, causing Ah Zi to be unable to help but frown.

Under Ling Xiao's lead, Ah Zi arrived in front of the piece of Agarwood.

It was neatly written with the sacrificial script, of course, Ah Zi immediately saw it, but Ling Xiao did not disturb him, and just watched quietly by the side.

"Eldest Brother Ling Xiao, quickly tell me this is not true!" As Ah Zi spoke, his tears continued to flow uncontrollably.

Hearing that, Ling Xiao sighed helplessly, and said: "I am sorry Miss Ah Zi, although I have already rushed to my full strength, I am still a step too late, I hope that you will grieve for me."

Ah Zi cried and asked, "Who killed my sister!? Is it that old fellow Duan Zhengchun! "

Ling Xiao did not want to lie, and no matter who was asked to take the blame, Ling Xiao would find it difficult to make a choice. If it was Duan Zhengchun, Ling Xiao could only choose to lie, but if it was Xiao Feng, then Ah Zi would definitely not forgive him in the future.

Ling Xiao did not wish for the people around him to have unresolved resentment against each other.

Thus, Ling Xiao patiently explained the cause of this matter to his, including to her own mother.

After hearing that, Ah Zi cried even louder, "My good sister, why are you so long-suffering! It's too pitiful. I finally found a good home, but my most beloved person took my life! "

Ling Xiao also didn't know how to persuade Ah Zi, so he could only let her cry and vent out her feelings.

Maybe he was too weak for it, but in the end, Ah Zi's crying voice slowly died down. Ling Xiao found the right opportunity and went forward to hug Ah Zi, who no longer had any strength left.

"Do you feel better after you release it?" Ling Xiao wiped away the tears on Ah Zi's face and asked softly.

Ah Zi did not reply. It seemed that he was really exhausted.

Seeing Ah Zi's dejected look, Ling Xiao felt her heart ache, and she quickly took off the water bottle on her waist, opened it, and brought it to Ah Zi's mouth.

To be able to see that Ah Zi's mouth was already starting to dry up, it was obviously a reaction to the lack of water.

Seeing that it was almost night, Ling Xiao felt the cold wind in the forest, afraid that Ah Zi's body would not be able to take it, he got up and prepared to pull his horse over.

But just as Ling Xiao was about to leave, an ear-piercing sound was heard by Ling Xiao.

This sound was either sharp or it was the sound of someone dashing over, his clothes cutting through the night wind.

And just happened to hear that voice from Ah Zi's direction. Ling Xiao immediately activated the microstep, and with a flash, he arrived at Ah Zi's side. At this moment, the origin of the voice had just neared.

Ling Xiao raised his head. He was a man covered entirely in black. From his opponent's attire, it was obvious that he had come prepared, and his target was Ah Zi.

Ling Xiao naturally detested this kind of person who liked hiding in the darkness and was extremely despicable. Thus, without hesitation, he punched out fiercely, releasing a violent wave of true energy without reservation.

If he had used this level of true qi in his match against the Starpicker, the opponent would have been seriously injured or even killed with just one move.
