Chapter 587: Unexpected Gains

Xiao Mian would naturally not be at a loss because of what the other party said.

If the reason was sufficient, Xiao Mian could kill this daring boy without any scruples, but now if he killed this boy just for stealing that day, Xiao Mian would not even be able to pass his own test, not to mention that what this boy said was not wrong - the little girl who hid in the dark and attacked Xiao Mian that day was obviously this boy's sister!

At that time, I didn't kill Bo Ren, and Bo Ren died because of me.

If Xiao Mian didn't know, it would be fine. Now that he knows, this account will be counted on his head. When he survives the great calamity in the future, something might go wrong.

Wait!

A grandfather who is more than 400 years old?

Those who can live to 400 years old must be Jindan cultivators, but how could a dignified Jindan cultivator fall to the point of needing this Qi training period cultivator to take care of him?

Could it be...

"You are as cunning as a ghost! You have nothing to prove. How about you take me to see your great grandfather who is more than 400 years old? If what you said is true, I will not only not blame you, but also give you some spiritual stones..." At this point, seeing that the young man was stunned and then looked disdainful, Xiao Mian rolled his eyes and smiled lightly: "I know you have always disdained beggars, but you should also think about your great grandfather and your ten-year-old sister, right?"

Go straight to the heart, who can't?

Xiao Mian has always been an expert in figuring out people's hearts, not to mention that he has a younger sister, Xiao Chuqing, so he naturally knows the mentality of the young man.

Sure enough, after Xiao Mian finished speaking, the young man's face changed slightly.

"Hmph! How do I know you won't kill us all?"

"Believe it or not! But if you don't obey me now, I will kill you and it will be your own fault. Your relatives will be implicated by you!"

Xiao Mian's words made the young man's face change again and again, and finally lowered his head.

After that, Xiao Mian, led by the young man, walked through the streets and alleys, getting farther and farther away, gradually moving away from the center of Beisai Mansion in Xianyang City.

Xiao Mian was naturally not afraid of the other party playing any tricks, not to mention that with the young man's situation, if their residence was in the center of Beisai Mansion, that would be strange!

After going around in circles for more than half an hour, just when Xiao Mian was a little impatient, the young man stopped in front of a dilapidated shantytown.

Even though Zhongzhou has been prosperous since ancient times, even though Xianyang City is the largest city in Qin County, there are slums, just like in Wanzong City that day.

Just as Xiao Mian was looking around, the young man suddenly shouted.

"Don't hide it! Your Grandpa Huo is back! Why don't you come out to greet him?"

Xiao Mian was stunned, thinking that this kid was so grand?

But soon, when Xiao Mian saw some monks with bad eyes coming out from the shanties around him, he smiled bitterly, thinking that he was tricked by this kid again!

"Huo Long'er! You little bastard, you dare to come back?"

"Wang family's old bastard! Let's stop talking nonsense with our eyes open! Isn't your Grandpa Huo back in one piece?" Ignoring the people who were surrounding him, the young man called Huo Long'er smiled at a young monk opposite him and said, "I'm in a good mood today. Let's settle all the new and old grudges!"

"You..."

The man who was nicknamed Wang Ba by Huo Long'er was about to get angry. The other person who surrounded him glanced at Xiao Mian, was shocked, and then whispered anxiously in his ear. Wang Ba was reminded by his companions, and then he turned his eyes to Xiao Mian, and then he was shocked.

"Senior! I didn't know this senior was here..."

"It's okay! I don't want to get involved in your affairs." Waving his hand, Xiao Mian said calmly: "But I have something to ask him today. As long as you don't do it today, you can make trouble for him no matter what you want. How about it?"

"Senior, you are too kind! Everything is up to you!"

After saying that, Wang Lao Ba glared at Huo Long'er fiercely and dispersed everyone.

If they hadn't seen the opportunity quickly this time, if Xiao Mian hadn't wanted to cause trouble, they would have been plotted against by Huo Long'er again. How could they deal with a Jindan strongman?

Although Zhongzhou is known as a holy place for cultivation, only a small number of people can successfully form a pill, especially in such a slum-like shanty town. Jindan cultivators like Xiao Mian are already the highest level of cultivation that Wang Lao Ba and others can see on a daily basis.

As for Huo Long'er, seeing Xiao Mian easily let Wang Lao Ba and others go, he was very upset, but when he saw Xiao Mian's eyes again, Huo Long'er couldn't help but shudder.

"This at least proves that I didn't deceive the senior, right?"

"Humph! You kid, you are hated by heaven and people, you usually do a lot of bad things, right? But I am really curious: those people just now were all foundation-building cultivators, but you are just a small cultivator in the Qi training stage, how can you fight them well? And looking at the posture of Wang Jia Lao Ba just now, it seems that he has suffered a loss at your hands, right?"

"Tsk! They are just a group of brainless idiots, let alone foundation-building, even if they form a pill in the future, I can still play them around!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Take me to meet your great-grandfather!"

"......, OK!"

Silently, Huo Long'er led the way.

Seeing that the other party was so tactful, Xiao Mian was stunned. Although Huo Long'er looked normal just now, the gleam of light in his eyes could not escape his eyes.

This kid!

He is probably planning something bad again!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian followed closely behind Huo Long'er.

After a short while, Huo Longer brought Xiao Mian to a dilapidated courtyard.

Turning back and smiling at Xiao Mian, Huo Longer flicked his right hand and shot out two stones, hitting a pair of stone lions lying at the gate of the courtyard. Then, under Xiao Mian's thoughtful gaze, Huo Longer tiptoed and rushed into the half-closed gate.

At the same time, an invisible spiritual energy enveloped the entire courtyard.

Outside the seemingly dilapidated courtyard, there was actually a complete magic circle!

Extending his right hand, Xiao Mian touched the gate.

When he was one foot away from the gate, Xiao Mian felt a little resistance on his palm. As Xiao Mian's palm went deeper, the resistance became greater and greater. In the end, even if Xiao Mian used all his strength, he could not touch the gate.

Seeing the gate so close, Xiao Mian smiled.

The formation set up outside this courtyard is quite powerful. It should be more than enough to deal with ordinary Jindan cultivators, but it is still a little bit weak to deal with Xiao Mian, a genius with amazing destructive power. Moreover, Xiao Mian has no intention of destroying the formation.

Seemingly casually, Xiao Mian took out a black towel and wiped his right hand.

Putting away the black towel, Xiao Mian stretched out his right hand again to push the courtyard door. This time, there was no resistance. As his right hand touched the courtyard door, Xiao Mian stepped into the courtyard door.

The next moment, the light turned, and Xiao Mian had already arrived at the inside of the courtyard.

What came into view was that Huo Long'er and his sister were supporting an old man. The three of them were walking towards a dark cave entrance, which was obviously a secret passage.

Seeing Xiao Mian breaking through the formation silently, Huo Long'er's face was gloomy.

"Ahem..., this Taoist friend has a brilliant method!"

Before Xiao Mian spoke, the old man supported by Huo Long'er spoke. Xiao Mian frowned unconsciously when he heard this. Although he hadn't seen the other person's face yet, from the voice alone, he knew that this old man was not the Ou Haiyang he was looking for!

With the help of Huo Long'er, the old man turned around.

As expected, the old man was not Ou Haiyang.

"Fellow Daoist can break the magic circle that I set up so easily. I guess you are here for me, right? Alas! When I was in the cultivation world, I didn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. I offended many strong people. Now I am dying. Even if you don't come, I will die soon. I just don't know if you can agree to one condition of mine?" As he said this, the old man reached out and stroked the foreheads of Huo Long'er and the girl, and said with a bitter smile: "These two children have no relatives or friends with me. Can you let them go?"

Xiao Mian's heart moved when he heard this.

He saw that there was nothing at the little finger of the old man's left hand. He didn't know whether it was born like this or was removed later. Xiao Mian remained calm and silent.

The girl looked at Xiao Mian timidly, while Huo Long'er tightly grasped the old man's arm, looking at Xiao Mian with a restrained and gloomy look.

"If you can promise not to harm these two children, I will definitely reward you generously!"

"Why not talk about the reward first!"

"You are really quick-witted!" The old man smiled bitterly, and he was more and more convinced that Xiao Mian was sent by his former enemy to take his life. After a moment of silence, the old man reached into his arms, took out a soul-sealing box, and threw it to Xiao Mian without even looking at it. Xiao Mian took it and opened it. His expression moved slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face unconsciously. Seeing this, the old man thought that Xiao Mian didn't know the goods. Just as he was about to explain something, Xiao Mian took out the white feather in the soul-sealing box and asked with a smile: "Lei Peng Yao Zun - the key to the demon palace?"

It turned out that the white feather in Xiao Mian's hand was one of the Lei Peng demon feathers.

Compared with the two previous Thunder Peng demon feathers, the thunder energy contained in this white feather seemed even more violent and unruly, as if it would explode at any time...

As soon as the words came out, the old man's face changed suddenly, but soon he regained his composure.

"Daoyou are indeed knowledgeable! In this case, it saves me a lot of words. I just wonder if this white feather can be used to exchange for the lives of these two children?"

"I'm afraid not!" Xiao Mian's words made the old man and Huo Long'er and others all change color. But before the other party could speak, Xiao Mian smiled bitterly and explained: "I have no grudges against Daoyou in the past or in the present. Although this kid surnamed Huo has played tricks on me many times, I can't kill him for this trivial matter. I really don't know why I have to take action against you three generations of grandparents and grandchildren! Please teach me!"

"You! Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Having said that, the relieved old man saw that his treasure was held in Xiao Mian's hand, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he didn't know what to do.

It was Huo Long'er, who rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"Long'er said that this senior must not be a bad person! I think with the senior's noble character, even if he doesn't help us, he will definitely not covet those broken feathers, and naturally he will not hurt us, which will only bring retribution!"

"You kid! You are smart, but I don't know if you will be too smart in the future!" After saying this, Xiao Mian ignored Huo Long'er and said to the old man: "Daoyou! Since this Thunder Peng feather has fallen into my hands, it is also a fate. You should know that I will not let it go. Of course, I don't plan to rob it openly. You might as well name a price. If it is suitable, I will buy it!"

"This..."

"Since Daoyou cares about these two children so much, why don't you think about them?"

After saying this, Xiao Mian said no more.

Xiao Mian's words made the old man's face change again and again, and Huo Long'er stared at him indignantly, obviously indignant that Xiao Mian used himself to threaten the old man.
