Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

After Xiao took the initiative, he did not wait for the opponent's counterattack. The five people who sneaked up saw the Hepu Yuan stuck diagonally on the ground, and they all frowned.

Xiao's original intention of attacking was to deter. If he could scare the person away, that would naturally be the best. He didn't want to waste his energy on unnecessary things.

As for participating in the treasure hunt, he has no such idea for the time being.

Now it seems that the effect of this attack seems to be quite good.

A handsome man with skin as white as jade stepped out from among the five people. He bowed to Xiao and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. We simply wish to borrow the passage here. We were afraid of disturbing you, so we hid our bodies and had no intention of attacking you."

Huh, you’re quite polite. It seems like you were really scared by the gun I just fired.

Xiao did not answer immediately, but glanced at the remaining four people and looked at their reactions. The handsome man who was talking to him seemed to be their leader.

Seeing Xiao remain silent, the handsome man lowered his posture and said humbly, "Fellow Daoist, are you a disciple of the Zhenjiao Sect? My Baixiang Sect and the Zhenjiao Sect have some friendship. We have urgent matters to attend to and need to pass through this place. If you are willing to let us pass, we will come to thank you in the future."

A disciple of Zhenjiao Sect? Me?

Xiao was slightly startled, then he recalled the expressions of the five people when they saw the Kite he threw, and immediately figured out what was going on.

The five people were quite discerning and saw the extraordinaryness of He Puyuan. In their opinion, such a magical spear must have come from the Dragon Bone Abyss of Zhenjiaomen.

Although the Dragon Bone Abyss is open to the public periodically, theoretically, outsiders also have the opportunity to obtain the magic spear from it, but putting aside the issue of strength, Zhenjiaomen, as one of the top sects, must understand the principle of "keeping wealth within the family", so the probability of this happening is so small that it can be almost ignored. It can basically be determined that those who possess the magic spear are all core disciples of Zhenjiaomen, or former disciples of Zhenjiaomen.

Now that things have come to this, it's better to go with the flow. With the identity of a disciple of Zhenjiao Sect, it should be possible to save a lot of trouble.

Besides, Zhenjiaomen had recruited me before, so I could be considered a non-staff disciple of Zhenjiaomen, and they just needed to agree to recruit me as a regular disciple.

Why are non-staff disciples not disciples?

Well, that makes sense.

Red Mandrill: You have to be able to hypnotize yourself.

Xiao mentally convinced himself. He turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Please make yourselves at ease. I promised to help Senior Sister Su... gather information about the treasure here, so I won't be accompanying you."

"Su... Oh, so you are a friend of Fellow Daoist Su Yunyan. I'm so sorry. There's no need for you to accompany me. I can leave on my own." The handsome man's attitude became more humble.

Xiao was a little confused when watching this scene. Does that little girl have such prestige in the fairy world?

I don't feel anything at all.

But when you think about it, it's hard to find an opponent of the same level as yourself. Su Yunyan is one of the few people who can cause trouble to you. With such strength, she must be valued by the top leaders. Her status in the sect must not be low. A sect like Baixiangmen, which no one has ever heard of, would definitely not dare to provoke such a celebrity from a top sect.

The handsome man led the other four people past Xiao. Xiao was nervous the whole time and did not relax his vigilance because of the other party's humble attitude. He did not relax his vigilance until they walked more than ten meters away without any accidents. Only then did Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.

However, just as he was about to relax, Bai Jie's frivolous voice rang out.

"I can't believe you, Master Xiao, actually know Su Yunyan."

It doesn't sound like a scam.

Xiao exhaled the remaining half of his foul air.

Bai Jie continued, "Her brother, Su Qiukong, is a prominent figure in the Immortal Realm. At a young age, he successfully obtained the True Dragon inheritance from the Dragon Bone Abyss, rising from an ordinary disciple to a teaching elder in one fell swoop. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the position of the next leader of the Zhenjiao Sect will undoubtedly belong to him. Thanks to him, his sister is considered a flower of high rank in the Immortal Realm."

The flower of Gaoling?

Xiao thought of the charred kitchen and the girl apologizing frantically in front of the kitchen when he was preparing for the New Year in Khotan.

It doesn't match at all.

"I say, Master Xiao..."

Bai Jie, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke. Hearing his smiling tone, Xiao had a bad feeling in his heart for no reason.

Bai Jie asked word by word, "You are not really a disciple of the Zhenjiao Sect, are you?"

The voice was neither loud nor soft, and the words were very clear, enough for the other seven people to hear clearly.

Oh no, it’s a traitor!

Before he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed in his golden eyes, and Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Jie. However, the latter had anticipated this, and before Xiao took action, or to be exact, when he was halfway through his words, he had already distanced himself from Xiao.

Yang Ce, who was standing aside, covered his face with his hands, his whole body exuding a sense of helplessness that he had long been accustomed to.

I'll settle the score with you later.

Xiao, who had made a mistake, glared at Bai Jie who was smiling in the distance, then turned to look at the five people who had just asked to borrow his road. They were nearly a hundred meters away from Xiao, and had stopped and were looking at Xiao.

The handsome man in the five-man team who had been in charge of negotiating with Xiao had lost his previous humility. He said loudly, "From what this fellow Daoist said, it seems you are not from the Zhenjiao Sect."

"so?"

Xiao raised his right hand, and the Hepu Yuan flew into his palm like a blue lightning.

The five people saw this scene and their eyelids twitched.

The name of the magic weapon is quite intimidating.

Finally, the other four people's eyes all fell on the handsome man.

"So?" The handsome man flipped his wrist, and a long whip appeared in his hand. He sneered, "So your parents didn't teach you that lying is bad?"

Xiao really wanted to roll his eyes at the other person.

Didn’t your parents teach you that if you commit murder or robbery, you have to go in and operate a sewing machine?

Red Mandrill: Huh?

Seeing the handsome man showing his murderous intention, the other four also took out their weapons.

The bearded man produced a large sword, which was more than big enough to be used as a blanket for Xiao.

The young man in green tights held two daggers in his hands, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from Xiao's sight.

The middle-aged man with a ginger complexion held a heavy gun and smashed it hard on the ground. Xiao felt the ground beneath his feet shake.

The last man had a sunken forehead and was very ugly, and the dagger in his hand was also unattractive.

The five of them revealed their auras, and without exception, they were all king-level, and their posture was quite intimidating.

Seeing this, Yang Ce also took off his sword again and whispered in a voice that only Xiao could hear, "I will defend you from a few attacks while ensuring my own safety. Also, from my observation, they are most likely high-ranking members of a certain sect. They probably have many methods to deal with the enemy. Especially since it's two against five. The enemy has the advantage in numbers. It's best to find a chance to leave."

Xiao just uttered the words "It's okay" lightly.

As long as the enemies attack together instead of fighting in turns, he is not afraid of being outnumbered.

As for the means... he chose to break all the methods with one force.

If it can't be broken, it must be because the "force" is not strong enough. Just use a stronger "force".
