C4249 The Betrayal of His Trusted Subordinate!
C4249 The Betrayal of His Trusted Subordinate!
He knew very well that his words would affect the situation. If he was not careful, it would be a fight between two Immortal Realm experts. The consequences were not something he could bear.
He intentionally removed himself from the fight and did not participate in it. He was not familiar with the Flood Dragon.
It had to be said that this old man was quite slippery. He did not let a drop of water go unnoticed.
The reason why this old man spoke to Mu Hu in front of Chen Xiao and the other cultivators was to avoid suspicion. He did not want himself to be involved. After all, this was a fight between Immortal Realm experts.
Only God knew why the Flood Dragon would do such a thing and provoke the treasure ship of the Heavenly Sea Island.
What a joke. Did he want to die?
Hmph, since he wants to die, don't drag me into it.
This was probably what the old cultivator was thinking at the moment.
After hearing his words, Mu Hu's expression changed for the first time. His fury from before became gloomy and terrifying. The way he looked at Chen Xiao became a little awkward.
"This is a misunderstanding. Your Excellency must have misunderstood something. Please allow me to go back and investigate. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Mu Hu said with a dark expression.
He did not directly point out Chen Xiao's identity. Firstly, he could tell that Chen Xiao was unwilling to reveal his identity. Although he did not know the reason.
Secondly, this matter should not be made public. If it got out of hand, it would be very embarrassing for both of them.
However, Chen Xiao did not agree with Mu Hu's concession. He questioned him in person.
"Jiang Li Jiao, are you one of his men? Hmph, the Immortal Weapon Sect is really arrogant. Is your hand stretched too far? Or do you really think that the Endless Sea belongs to the Immortal Weapon Sect?"
Chen Xiao did not show any mercy and reprimanded him in person.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mu Hu's expression was extremely ugly.
Not only him, even the old cultivator by his side had his mouth wide open. He was so shocked that his mouth was wide enough to fit a fist.
He poked his ears twice, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
Who was Mu Hu? He was an Immortal Weapon Sect expert at the Immortal Realm. He was the younger brother of the current Sect Master of the Immortal Weapon Sect. His strength was extraordinary and his status was revered. He was actually pointed at by someone and scolded.
The old cultivator was so scared that his heart was trembling and he was filled with lingering fear.
Fortunately, he did not dare to go head-on just now. Otherwise, he would have been dead.
"Hiss ~"
For a moment, countless gasps sounded one after another, and everyone was stunned.
"Eh …"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he was reprimanded by Mu Hu. He was very embarrassed, but he still endured it and did not flare up.
Firstly, Chen Xiao's strength was there. His potential was limitless.
Secondly, this matter was originally the Immortal Weapon Sect's fault. He really could not stand it.
Originally, the two sides had agreed on something, but now the Immortal Weapon Sect was going too far.
Mu Hu's face darkened as he replied, "You have to believe me. This matter has nothing to do with me. It was not my idea."
"Then how do you explain the Flood Dragon in the river?"
Chen Xiao shook the Flood Dragon's soul in his hand and continued.
Mu Hu's face darkened as he promised, "Don't worry about this. I will investigate this properly and give you an explanation. I can also promise you that this matter really has nothing to do with me."
Chen Xiao stared coldly at Mu Hu, as if he wanted to see through him.
After a few glances, Chen Xiao let out a long sigh and said, "Mu Hu, I hope you can keep your word. Don't go back on your word. I can endure this, but I don't want to see it again."
Mu Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I don't know what is good for me."
"I hope so. Here is the thing for you."
Chen Xiao said and casually threw it away. The Flood Dragon's soul was recalled by Mu Hu.
Then, Chen Xiao sent a voice transmission to Mu Hu, "I have searched his soul. It was ordered by Yi Tianren to sow discord between the Immortal Weapon Sect and the Purple Cloud City. You should know what to do."
"There is such a thing?" Mu Hu's face was shocked, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.
He had already felt that this matter was quite strange, but he didn't expect that it was actually the Yi Clan behind it.
After all, the Flood Dragon was a trusted subordinate of his, and he had cultivated him. He originally thought that he could entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but he was betrayed.
Damn it, Mu Hu was furious when he thought of this.
It was not a big deal for the Yi Family to play tricks on him, but what really infuriated him was that Jiang Li had betrayed him.
"Hmph, if you don't believe me, you can search his soul again," Chen Xiao said coldly.
Just now, in order to find out the truth, he had directly searched Jiang Li's soul, and in the end, he had really found him.
On the surface, Jiang Li was Mu Hu's loyal subordinate, but in fact, he had long since betrayed the Yi Family and played a part in the scheme, earning benefits from both sides.
This time, Jiang Li came to provoke him to destroy Mu Hu's plan in the Endless Sea.
As long as something happened to the Immortal Weapon Sect's stronghold in the Endless Sea, it would be blamed on Mu Hu. This way, the Yi Family would have the opportunity to intervene.
Otherwise, the Yi Family would be completely rejected and unable to meddle with the Endless Sea.
This plan was truly despicable and shameless. Chen Xiao was furious, but since this was the Immortal Weapon Sect's own business, he wouldn't directly intervene. He would first warn Mu Hu to deal with it himself.
If Mu Hu could not suppress the Yi Family's little movements, it wouldn't be too late for him to make a move.
Obviously, Mu Hu understood Chen Xiao's meaning.
"Alright, I will."
"Goodbye."
Chen Xiao turned around and prepared to leave. When the three girls saw this, they immediately followed him. The four of them disappeared in the blink of an eye and returned to the Heavenly Sea Island.
"Darling, if we leave just like this, humph, it will be too easy for the Immortal Weapon Sect."
In the air, Ni Chang said somewhat unwillingly.
Xiao Ling also echoed, saying, "That's right, Darling, this matter was clearly provoked by the Immortal Weapon Sect first, and it has nothing to do with Mu Hu."
"Mu Hu's words might not be credible." Yue Yao also spoke, her face full of worry.
The few girls were on the same side as Chen Xiao. If anything happened to the Heavenly Sea Island, they would also be worried and afraid.
Chen Xiao chuckled, his face calm as he said, "Don't worry, give Mu Hu some time to deal with it first. Otherwise, I don't mind helping him."
"Right, this is what you should do, Darling."
"Sure, that's right."
"Haha."
Under countless shocked and fearful gazes, Chen Xiao and his group left in a carefree manner.
"Respectfully sending Senior Chen off."
Su Yong bowed his head and said in a loud voice.
When the Immortal Weapon Sect cultivators at the side saw this, they were quite indignant and resentful. Just who was this person? To scold Mu Hu in front of them, how dare he?
The old cultivator was unconvinced. He went up to Mu Hu and asked, "Sir, who exactly is this person? He actually dares to look down on our Immortal Weapon Sect. Hmph."
"Pah."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with Mu Hu's furious slap. He spun a few times in the air and was stunned, his mouth full of blood.
