Regarding Xiao Xiangruo's ferocity, Tao Muyun was completely helpless.
To tell the truth, temperant-wise, Xiao Xiangruo was more suitable to be the Pavilion Master of the Soul Capture Pavilion, because she was fierce!
"Chairman Xiao, my great uncle has passed away many years ago," Tao Muyun said, even showing so sadness in his eyes.
"Idiot..." Xiao Xiangruo insulted directly, thinking if Tao Muyun was brainless. His great uncle had been dead for many years; what does his death have to do with her?
Hearing Xiao Xiangruo calling himself an idiot, Tao Muyun didn't even get angry.
Honestly, Tang Rao found this Tao Muyun to be an extraordinary person. In the Great Perfection Realm, yet still so temperantal, it was simply bizarre.
The key was, Tao Muyun genuinely had a good temper, not feigned, and this was clear to Tang Rao.
"Chairman Xiao, I truly am sincere in resolving this issue. How about we discuss this again? Continuing the fight would be bad for both sides, don't you think?" said Tao Muyun.
"I think it's quite good!" Xiao Xiangruo snorted, satisfied with how the Soul Capture Pavilion ca for a round of attacks; did they think Giant rchant Star was easy to bully? Tao Muyun, did you leave your brain at ho?
"Ah, I know Chairman Xiao is angry. How about this, we both take a step back, cease the fight, and discuss the following matters? You see, there are quite a few injured, many of whom need treatnt," Tao Muyun said.
Xiao Xiangruo glanced around and saw indeed there were many severely injured cultivators.
"Why haven't you all cleared off?" Xiao Xiangruo cursed.
Tao Muyun saluted with his hands, then imdiately ordered Cui Baiyi to retreat.
Soul Capture Pavilion on one side, Giant rchant Star on the other.
After the retreat of the Soul Capture Pavilion, Xiao Xiangruo turned around and surveyed her surroundings.
Gradually, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Emperor Zhao, where's Natasha?" Xiao Xiangruo asked, not having seen what transpired with Natasha before.
Hearing Xiao Xiangruo's question, Emperor Zhao swallowed hard.
Oh God, how should he explain?
To say that Zhao Qingtian killed her? Zhao Qingtian was his own younger brother, and without evidence that Zhao Qingtian acted on his own, Xiao Xiangruo would definitely make him bear the consequences.
"This..." Emperor Zhao couldn't find the words; he had no idea how to begin.
"What's all this hesitation, just spit it out!" Xiao Xiangruo was clearly in a bad mood.
"Dead... dead..." Emperor Zhao finally managed to speak.
"What!" The next mont, Xiao Xiangruo exploded, her gaze fiercely fixed on Emperor Zhao, her deanor turning sharp. Just like when she had just fought with the Ten-winged Demon Dragon, that kind of aura was almost too intense to look at directly.
"I'll explain," suddenly a voice spoke up.
Everyone turned towards the source of the voice.
Zhao Qingtian!
Seeing Zhao Qingtian, Emperor Zhao's eyes suddenly reddened.
Damn Zhao Qingtian, how dare you sche against !
Had I known it would co to this, I should have acted faster and killed you outright.
"President, it was Zhao Qingtian who killed Natasha. It was all his doing; I had no prior knowledge. President, let capture Zhao Qingtian," Emperor Zhao imdiately shouted, ready to take action.
Capture? Hmph, killing him outright would be better.
Dead n tell no tales, right...
"Wait," Xiao Xiang coldly called out, stopping Emperor Zhao.
"President... this man harbors wild ambitions!"
"Zhao Qingtian, do you have anything to say?" Xiao Xiangruo looked at Zhao Qingtian.
Zhao Qingtian spread his hands, a faint smile on his lips: "President, all this was commanded by Zhao Diman. He not only wanted to kill Natasha but also aid at you."
"Zhao Qingtian, cease your deceitful nonsense!" Zhao Diman roared angrily, smart people, damn it, should indeed not be left alive!
Zhao Qingtian probably guessed that he was going to be dealt with, hence he bit back like this.
Had I known this scoundrel would do such a thing, I should have killed him with a single sword strike earlier.
"Deceitful nonsense, you say?" Zhao Qingtian sneered, then pulled out a mini holographic projector from his body and turned it on.
Soon, the image appeared, quite clearly.
In the image, Zhao Diman instructed Zhao Qingtian to kill Natasha.
Zhao Diman was completely dumbfounded; Zhao Qingtian was too cunning.
"President, listen to ..." Zhao Diman almost knelt down, "I indeed harbored that intention before, but that was before. After you spoke, I... I completely dismissed the idea. I also told Zhao Qingtian not to act, but he didn't listen to ."
Xiao Xiangruo frowned.
What do you an after I spoke? When did I speak to you? I have been in secluded ditation for a long ti.
"Zhao Qingtian, where is Natasha?" Xiao Xiangruo asked, knowing that Natasha was not dead; if she were, the Heavenly Dao oath between them would have dissolved, but in fact, the oath was still present.
"Very safe," Zhao Qingtian said.
"Very well." Xiao Xiangruo nodded, then looked again at Zhao Diman.
Zhao Diman dazed, Natasha wasn't dead... aning, this had always been a trap set by Zhao Qingtian and Natasha for him. Foolishly, he had been feeling in control of the situation when, in reality, he had been severely duped all along.
Simultaneously, Zhao Diman found it odd, Zhao Qingtian was clever indeed, but not clever to this extent.
As for Natasha, even less likely; she wasn't so deeply scheming.
Behind this incident, there absolutely must be a mastermind cunning bastard, just doesn't know who.
"Zhao Diman, aren't you going to explain yourself to ?" Xiao Xiangruo asked.
Zhao Diman bowed his head.
"At your disposal," Zhao Diman uttered these four words.
The situation had been exposed, he didn't want to beg for rcy, and would begging even work? People like Xiao Xiangruo wouldn't spare you just because you begged.
"Starting today, the position of the Great Elder on Giant rchant Star will be held by Natasha; as for you, just retire comfortably on Giant rchant Star," Xiao Xiangruo stated. She didn't want to kill Zhao Diman, after all, he was also a cultivator at Great Perfection.
Besides, killing Zhao Diman wouldn't be an easy task.
Zhao Diman looked at Xiao Xiangruo, for so reason, he felt an impulse, an urge to attack Xiao Xiangruo. After clashing with the Ten-winged Demon Dragon, she must have sustained so injuries. Moreover, Zhao Diman had a strange feeling that the person who had restrained him that day seed to be much more powerful than Xiao Xiangruo.
That person, maybe... wasn't Xiao Xiangruo at all...
Should he make a move?
If he didn't, he might never get another chance; but if he did and failed, the consequences would be even greater.
"Yes..." In the end, Zhao Diman still suppressed the urge within.
He had survived many years, he could endure a few more. He would wait until half of the Spiritual Energy in his body had transford to Immortal Power, this process wouldn't take too long.
Moreover, he could also take advantage of this ti to properly lay out his plans, the current situation had been completely disrupted, who knows what could happen.
