Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1737: Chapter 1739: Certain Death

The forces here are mainly divided into two parties.

One party is Yiji Mansion, led by Mei Tingluan, the younger brother of Mei Tingfeng who died at Lu Xiaobu’s hands.

The other side is naturally the group led by Sao Bao.

The two sides stood at an angle to each other, confronting one another, with a hint of hostility.

”Local bully! What exactly do you want?!” Mei Tingluan stared venomously at Sao Bao and shouted, ”Do you really want to tear faces with my Yiji Mansion?”

The title ”local bully” was casually mentioned by Lu Xiaobu in the past, and later spread by Sao Bao, surprisingly accepted by many.

”No need to be so angry!” Sao Bao said with a beaming smile, ”Why should we be at odds?”

”Enough with the nonsense!” Mei Tingluan didn’t listen to Sao Bao’s explanations, continuing to look venomously at Sao Bao, ”Do you think no one knows what you did? Let me tell you, no matter what kind of deal that guy made with you, but this person, my Yiji Mansion will definitely have! If you dare to obstruct, you will also have to die!”

They indeed knew what kind of transaction Lu Xiaobu had with the black market’s Sao Bao.

After all, if it weren’t the case, this Sao Bao wouldn’t have repeatedly protected this Lu Xiaobu.

Of course, they hadn’t probed the specific transaction details, or Sao Bao would have been dealt with long ago!

”Alas! Why can’t we just talk nicely?” Sao Bao shook his head and then his face turned cold, ”I truly cannot hand over this person to you!”

Yes, although he had made up his mind to kill Lu Xiaobu!

Yet, he couldn’t let Yiji Mansion kill him; otherwise, not only would the matter of the collar decryption being leaked become known to Yiji Mansion, but the issue of the seeds would also come to light.

Therefore, he had to act before Yiji Mansion!

”Local bully, good, very good!” Mei Tingluan’s eyes were cold, ”In that case, we’ll see whose methods are superior!”

He also didn’t want to engage in conflict with Sao Bao right now.

After all, once chaos happens, his target would be prone to escape, he must wait, wait until Lu Xiaobu comes out!

Then, he instructed his subordinates: ”Once Lu Xiaobu appears, as soon as he leaves the God Slaying Alliance’s range, unleash full power to kill him!”

Not only does he want to kill Lu Xiaobu, but he also wants Sao Bao, who dares to confront him, to suffer heavy losses!

The world thought their Yiji Mansion was just a low-end force, although having many slaves, they were all Golden Core stage, unable to kill high-end combatants!

However, they didn’t consider if Yiji Mansion really only had this capability, how could it rank among the eight major forces of East Gourd Island?!

Today, let’s show you one of Yiji Mansion’s foundations!

While Mei Tingluan made arrangements, so did Sao Bao on the other side: ”When Lu Xiaobu comes out, I’ll let him come over, but don’t wait for him to come over completely, you all strike him down!”

”Yes!”

The answer came from three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, each at the late Nascent Soul stage, he really invested heavily this time!

Yet, he felt this was still not secure enough, so he looked around his team.

There lay a hidden ace up his sleeve—a formidable Out-of-Body stage power!

Using the Out-of-Body stage should not be necessary, right?

Sao Bao thought so.

He had been to the core, naturally knowing within such a short period of three days, it was impossible to truly breakthrough, only grasping a glimpse of breakthrough direction.

The Out-of-Body stage was just a precaution.

Both sides made their own arrangements, with a few scattered forces watching around.

Like Mie Pavilion, Black Knight, and Yun Hai’s superiors, among others.

They weren’t planning to make a move, but were observing the situation to decide their next course of action.

After all, the circumstances happening on Blood Continent up till now were still a haze.

Though they could forcefully extract the truth from Yun Hai or Lu Pu and others, doing so would surely harm hearts.

Therefore, Lu Xiaobu was the best breakthrough point for this matter!

Everyone had their thoughts, finally, the illusion array of the God Slaying Alliance in front slowly opened.

The entrance was roughly ten miles away, to avoid causing misunderstandings with the God Slaying Alliance.

Moreover, ten miles was not a distance at all for a cultivator.

They watched as Xin Lifeng slowly led Lu Xiaobu and the other three out, each of them eager to rub their hands together.

”Looks like your days are not going well,” Xin Lifeng turned to Lu Xiaobu, eyes with a hint of a smile, even a flash of killing intent in the deepest part.

He had volunteered to take the responsibility of escorting Lu Xiaobu and his party here after careful consideration.

Once Lu Xiaobu is killed here, regardless of which force did it, he wouldn’t need to worry about that matter being leaked.

Indeed, he even harbored the thought of doing it himself.

Could it be that in this encirclement, Lu Xiaobu could still escape?

”Yes, the days are hard,” Lu Xiaobu said flatly.

Listening to the two people’s conversation, Fan Wenlong and Lu Pu’s hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

They sensed the killing intent within it.

They knew of Yiji Mansion’s actions, but they never expected that even the God Slaying Alliance’s Chief intended to strike against Lu Xiaobu?!

They couldn’t help but feel somewhat helpless inside—the ability of this person to stir up trouble was truly remarkable, to have all these major forces targeting him!

Even so, they also felt a little uneasy, as they knew the purpose of Yiji Mansion’s arrival, and since they were involved in that matter, they feared being implicated.

Thus, the two of them slowly stepped back, seemingly indicating—they wouldn’t be involved in this matter.

However, what went unnoticed was that as the two, who usually were like needle points to wheat awns, retreated, they unintentionally exchanged a glance, as if confirming something!

Xin Lifeng saw the two retreating, so he also drifted away, pretending he knew nothing.

His status, if possible, should avoid action since it wouldn’t be good for the repercussions.

Thus, the atmosphere at the scene changed instantly—everyone here, whether openly or secretly, smiling or angry, had a strong murderous intent towards Lu Xiaobu!

This person must die!

He knew too many things, held too many advantages over them!

Of course, there were still differences in their thoughts, some hoped Lu Xiaobu would die sooner, others hoped he would die later!

But regardless of which, not a single person thought Lu Xiaobu could survive under these circumstances; his only choice was no more than deciding in whose hands to die and choosing how to die!

An emotion called a foregone conclusion silently spread in everyone’s heart—Lu Xiaobu, undoubtedly, must die!
