The secret was exposed.
Huo Xiu was still leisurely wandering around.
This was a lakeside manor with a small bridge and flowing water, pavilions, and pavilions. It was very elegant.
At this moment.
Huo Xiu sat in a pavilion by the lake, boiling tea and fishing. He was very happy.
His white hair was meticulously groomed.
She was wearing a custom-made dress.
He was hale and hearty, and his face was glowing.
He could still vaguely see the demeanor he had when he was a minister of the Golden Roc Kingdom.
No matter who saw him, they would never associate him with the killer leader.
"I knew it. There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. The secret from back then would be exposed sooner or later.”
"Fortunately, I was prepared and never told them where I was going.”
"At this moment, I'm afraid that the outside world is already flooded.”
"All these years of operation were destroyed in a single day."
"I originally thought that the loophole was on the Great General and the Chief, but I didn't expect someone to come out of nowhere and catch me off guard.”
Huo Xiu sipped his fragrant tea, his eyes flickering with killing intent. Instantly, a deep chill spread out from his entire body.
He had always been cautious.
In order to hide his true identity, he had already colluded with Shangguan Feiyan to kill Dugu Yihe and Yan Tieshan.
According to his calculations.
He would first kill these two people, then kill Shangguan Feiyan. From then on, no one in the Nine Provinces would know his true identity.
He had never expected this.
He hadn't even gotten rid of his two old buddies when Mr. Qin suddenly appeared and exposed his secret.
Huo Xiu was so angry that he could only look up at the sky and sigh. Man's plan was not as good as God's.
Before he hid in this mountain villa, he received a messenger pigeon. Many of the strongholds of the Qingyi Pavilion were besieged by various large factions, and countless people were killed or injured.
This was expected.
There were not many martial arts heroes who did not hate assassin organizations.
Those so-called righteous sects and righteous people naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation and hit him when he was down to gain a good reputation.
Huo Xiu didn't care about these things.
He was already in his seventies and had no children. All these years, he had been managing the Qingyi House alone and was gradually unable to do so.
"If the Qingyi Pavilion is gone, so be it."
"It's just that this old man has been roaming the martial world for so many years and has never suffered such a loss. This hatred must be avenged!”
"Otherwise, if your thoughts aren't clear, you won't be able to sleep and eat well.”
He thought of revenge.
Huo Xiu fell into deep thought again.
According to the information he received, that Mr. Qin could instantly suppress a grandmaster, which meant that he had the strength of a great grandmaster.
He was only a grandmaster.
The difference was really too big.
After pondering for a moment,
Huo Xiu laughed again.
The gap between their realms was indeed a little big.
However, the battles in the pugilistic world never depended on one's cultivation level.
If cultivation level could decide everything, there wouldn't be so many battles and deaths.
In a competition of realms, those with lower realms could just admit defeat directly. What was the point of fighting? Wasn't that courting death?
In reality, it was common for a lower realm to defeat a higher realm person.
For example, the famous Commander Chu Liuxiang had created many stories of the weak defeating the strong.
Huo Xiu also thought of a way to deal with Qin Tian. His eyes flickered with a sinister light, like a venomous snake that chose to bite.
Suddenly.
A crisp voice rang out,"You're really here."”
Huo Xiu was so frightened that he trembled. The tea in his hand spilled out and wet the hem of his clothes.
Like a frightened rabbit, he suddenly jumped up. The muscles in his entire body tensed up, and he instantly entered a combat state, ready to attack at any time.
He turned around.
He looked at the courtyard.
On the cobblestone path, a young and beautiful girl walked over leisurely. She had a charming smile on her face and a graceful figure.
"How did you find this place?"
Huo Xiu said in shock. His gaze passed Shangguan Feiyan and looked behind him. There was no movement, but his heart was hanging in his throat, unable to feel at ease.
Shangguan Feiyan pursed her lips," My good Tower Master, you have a good memory. Did you forget that you told me the secret code?”
Huo Xiu slapped his forehead and remembered.
He didn't tell his trusted aide how to contact him through the secret code, but only told Shangguan Feiyan.
This was because his previous plan was to use Shangguan Feiyan to scheme against Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe.
Before coming here, he had indeed left a secret signal.
The reason why they had chosen Shangguan Feiyan was simple. Shangguan Feiyan's grandfather was the Imperial relative who had come to the Central Plains with them, Shangguan Jin.
Shangguan Feiyan knew their identities, so she could reduce the risk of being exposed.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you still have the mood to drink tea? My good OP, it's already a mess outside.”
Shangguan Feiyan walked over with a smile and tried to hold Huo Xiu's arm.
In order to obtain the treasure of the Golden Roc Kingdom, she colluded with Huo Xiu.
In order to gain Huo Xiu's trust, she even gave her body to this old man who was about the same age as her grandfather.
The relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Huo Xiu pushed her away, his eyes still staring outside. He shook his head and said,"Why are you looking for me in this situation? Do you want to kill me?!"
Shangguan Feiyan curled her lips and said indifferently,"Don't worry, I was very careful along the way. No one followed me!”
"With your cultivation level, what problems can you find? Hurry up and wait for me at Kai City. I'll contact you…Oh no, someone's coming!”
Huo Xiu's expression changed drastically.
Shangguan Feiyan vaguely heard a strange sound and called out,"Impossible, I went around in a big circle. How could anyone follow me?”
"They're surrounding us."
"Feiyan, I can only rely on you to lure them away so that I have a chance to escape.”
As Huo Xiu spoke, he took out a green robe and a wig from the drawer under the table.
Without any explanation, he put the green robe on Shangguan Feiyan and the wig on her head.
"You want me to pretend to be you?" Shangguan Feiyan exclaimed. No, no, they'll kill me!”
Actually, he wasn't pretending to be Huo Xiu.
This was something Huo Xiu had prepared for his disguise just in case. He had it everywhere in the villa to prevent such an unexpected situation.
"No, they won't. If they kill me, how can they take back the treasure of the Golden Roc Kingdom?”
"Go and distract them. If you see something wrong, throw away your disguise and say that you were threatened by me.”
"This is a treasure map. It contains one-tenth of the treasures of the Golden Roc Kingdom that I obtained.”
Huo Xiu took out a treasure map and stuffed it into Shangguan Feiyan's collar.
Shangguan Feiyan's eyes lit up when she heard that. She nodded and said,""Alright, where can I find you after this?”
"Go to Kaicheng and wait for me to contact you! Let's go!"
Huo Xiu suddenly pushed.
Shangguan Feiyan used her Light-body Technique and flew to the side, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Huo Xiu threw the fishing rod behind a tree and the tea set into the lake. Then, he took a deep breath and jumped into the lake.
Just as the water surface calmed down, a person rushed into the pavilion and looked at the table. It was clean and there was no trace of anyone.
Just as he was about to search the surroundings, a loud shout came from afar."Huo Xiu, stop right there!"
The person immediately rushed in the direction of the sound. He did not notice that there was a string of suspicious bubbles on the surface of the lake that was gradually disappearing.
