Dream Picking Records

The two light words made Xue Nong's heart... his soul sank. He had no recollection of ever provoking the human in front of him.

"Dare you ask me where I have sinned against you?" he asked cautiously, trying to find a chance to survive.

"you do not need to know."

Wang Xiao pointed out, suppressing his Yuan Shen on the spot, searching for the information he wanted. The result was not satisfactory. Before he could even look at it, Xue Nong's Yuan Shen exploded.

"Are all deputy clan leaders subject to restrictions? Tsk tsk."

Wang Xiao sighed for a moment, then turned his gaze to the uncle and nephew who were fighting on the other side.

The technique Yan Liang displayed was worthy of being the top secret technique of the Yanluo clan. Combined with the holy sword, he suppressed the opponent so much that he had no chance to fight back.

"Are you going to kill me? I'm your uncle!" Yan Kun saw Xue Nong die on the spot and begged for mercy on the spot.

Wang Xiao felt ashamed as an outsider. How could he say such shameless words? It was obviously he who colluded with foreign races to harm his own pride, and he spoke as if the other party was doing something extremely treasonous.

"Ah!"

Yan Liang scoffed and struck harder. Not long after, he managed to subdue the man before the secret technique ended. He refrained from killing him because he had something else to ask.

"Can I trust you?" Yan Liang asked from a distance.

"Of course, at least you and I have a common enemy." Wang Xiao was stunned at first, then replied with a smile.

"Do me a favor."

"Please say."

"Kill them all." Yan Liang said, pointing at the tribesmen who had fainted on the ground.

"It's not a difficult task." Wang Xiao tapped his fingertips several times, accurately killing their souls. At the same time, he made a move secretly, leaving a trace of energy on Yan Liang's clothes.

"Thank you."

Yan Liang left two words in the air, picked up Yan Kun, turned around and disappeared on the spot.

"Be cautious."

Wang Xiao didn't chase him for the time being, as he had already found Shi Xiang in another room of the Chamber of Commerce. Strangely, he had only fainted and wasn't silenced by Xue Nong and Yan Kun. So Wang Xiao transformed into Xue Nong and woke him up.

"Sir, I'm right, right? It was indeed that weirdo who instigated me to fight for the qualification of the Lord of Luankong City!" Shi Xiang knelt on the ground as soon as he woke up.

"Ahem, alright. Considering you're also serving the Imperial Master, I'll let you go." Wang Xiao imitated his tone and said, "Since you've earned the Imperial Master's approval, you can continue to be the city lord. Remember to keep an eye on the people you're asked to capture. Keep me informed if you have any news. After you succeed, I'll also give you something in addition to the Imperial Master."

"Thank you for your help! I will do my best to handle everything you ask me to do! But how can I contact you?"

"Hmm... Luankong City's bounty list. If you have any news, add his name to it at the end. I'll keep an eye on it. Okay, there was some damage outside just now. You're responsible for handling it. If anyone comes to ask you, just say nothing happened. Remember?"

"No problem! I'll definitely get it done!"

Seeing him wagging his tail and begging for mercy to the demon clan like a pug, Wang Xiao felt really sad. If it weren't for the fact that he was still useful, he would have killed this scourge of the human race with a single blow.

"We still have a few days left, so I'll try searching the area." After leaving Kangcheng, Wang Xiao activated his sensor. Judging from the energy left on Yan Liang's body, he didn't run very far. To avoid startling him, he chose to leave him alone for the time being.

Biluo Lake was already a hive of activity for cultivators. Siqin and Youyue had once achieved enlightenment in the lake's center, attracting a large number of young people to observe. Now, the pedestrians on the road appeared hurried, their movements revealing a sense of observation and search. One of them wore attire Wang Xiao recognized; it belonged to the Xuanyin Sect, one of the three great sects of the Northern Territory.

"There are so many minions."

Considering Xiao Sheng's close relationship with Pan Chengfeng, Wang Xiao wasn't surprised. Judging by his reaction, Xia Daoling should be safe, as no one had found him yet. The reality was just as he'd suspected. He'd followed the other party's men for a whole day without finding any trace of them. It was as if they had vanished from the face of the earth. This was something Wang Xiao couldn't help but admire.

"It's almost there. The side effects of the secret technique have probably stabilized. They shouldn't run away when they see me."

Wang Xiao approached a dilapidated Taoist temple. Thick moss and large spider webs spoke of its desolation, yet the air was filled with the smell of danger. He walked into the inner hall as if no one was around. The statue in the back, with only half of its head remaining, looked particularly creepy.

"Don't you want to activate the magic circle?"

In the room where no one else was except him, Wang Xiao spoke calmly.

"No need, I can sense you have no ill intentions."

Yan Liang revealed his true form from behind the statue and said, "Your technique is very advanced. If I hadn't used my secret technique and boosted my mental power, I wouldn't have been able to detect you."

"I was afraid you'd just run away. Fortunately, this saves a lot of time."

"I initially planned to do so, but after calming down, I realized you didn't harbor any hostility. Furthermore, you didn't pursue me when I was at my weakest, but instead gave me time to recuperate. Therefore, I decided to meet you. As my savior, tell me what about me could be of use to you."

"Since you are so straightforward and generous, I won't beat around the bush." ​​Wang Xiao asked directly, "I want to know what secrets lie beneath the blood lake in the Chaos Realm."

Yan Liang looked at him in surprise and said, "I discovered the corpse at the bottom of the lake while fleeing. How did you, a human, know of its existence?"

When Wang Xiao heard this, he said, what a coincidence, wasn’t it? He also fell into the blood lake because he was being chased.

Yan Liang was stunned after learning the whole story. He said, "This matter is related to the conspiracy of the Netherworld Blood Skull Clan. Let me explain it slowly."

He wiped the mat clean and motioned for Wang Xiao to sit down, then said, "The area north of the Chaos Sky Realm is the territory of our demon clan. In this area, there are four major royal families and eight major royal families. I, Yan Liang, am descended from the last of the Four Emperors, Yanluo Chigui. Youming Xueku is the leader of the Eight Kings, and if he goes further, he can replace us, Yanluo Chigui, and become the new Four Emperors."

"No wonder they want to get rid of you. It turns out they want to extinguish your clan's hope for the future. But I heard that the Four Emperors are all races whose ancestors gave birth to the strongest people. How can they be replaced?" Wang Xiao asked.

"In the past, this would have been impossible. Bloodline is a symbol of power and cannot be violated. However, in recent years, the demon race has been declining. To inspire their ambition, the royal families of the upper two seats took the lead in proposing this plan. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though my race is in decline, it cannot be compared to those royal families, not even the Netherworld Blood Skull. Therefore, I think that while they want to eliminate me, the more important thing is the corpse at the bottom of the lake."
