Ten minutes later.
Mo Xiao, riding the Absolute Shadow, rushed all the way to the teleportation array and shouted, “Quick, teleport, back to Yicheng Base City!”
Although Mo Xiao had already given the order, the teleportation array in front of him remained motionless.
The guards on the side saw this and explained, “Sorry, the teleportation array has a cooldown. After you use the teleportation array, you can’t use it again for two hours.”
What?!
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao’s face instantly turned as if he had eaten something foul.
He had just stolen something from Tu Fei. Regardless of whether Tu Fei had evidence or not, his first reaction would definitely be that Mo Xiao was the thief. If someone were to catch him and bring him back…
“How could this be…”
Standing in front of the teleportation array, Mo Xiao paced back and forth with a solemn expression.
“Don’t fool around, kid. You fearlessly went alone to the Hongmen feast. What are you afraid of now?”
Suddenly, the Sword Emperor’s voice suddenly sounded in Mo Xiao’s ear. “You’re so thick-skinned. Can’t you just deny that you stole it?”
“Moreover, that guy might not even suspect you.”
“Why?”
Hearing the Sword Emperor’s words, Mo Xiao was puzzled and asked.
“That guy is at level 80. Ordinary stealing skills can hardly succeed if there’s a level difference of even five levels.You crossed 60 levels and not only managed to steal from him, but you also made him unable to detect it. He wouldn’t have expected a skill like that.”
The Sword Emperor explained truthfully.
Mo Xiao was taken aback and then realized, “It seems like that’s the case.”
“Exactly, instead of worrying, why not take a look at what you stole just now?” The Sword Emperor calmly said, “Besides! Even if he comes after you, I’m here, aren’t I?”
“You? Aren’t you just a soul? What use are you?” Mo Xiao asked, puzzled.
“What do you mean I’m just a soul? 1 am the remnant soul of the Sword Emperor!! Sword Emperor! Understand? Do you grasp the value of the Sword Emperor?” Mo Xiao’s words almost angered the Sword Emperor, and he immediately roared in Mo Xiao’s ear.
“Lower your voice, lower your voice. I really don’t know what you can do,” Mo Xiao rubbed his ear and said with some exasperation.
The Sword Emperor was almost choked to death by Mo Xiao’s words. He took a deep breath and explained, “Do you still remember the battle with Fang Chaoyang? At that time, 1 possessed Fang Chaoyang’s body.
“But his attributes were so weak, he couldn’t possibly compare to you. Your character attributes are strong enough. Let me tell you, your skill attributes, combined with my techniques, we can fight even against the heavens. As long as they have a health bar, 1 can show you how I can kill them!” The Sword Emperor said with immense pride.
“Are you really that powerful?” Mo Xiao asked in surprise.
“Forget it! I’m the Sword Emperor! The strongest person in the world back in the day!” the Sword Emperor said proudly.
Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow, “But didn’t you still get killed by a monster?”
“Damn it! That was an accident!”
“Oh… Then weren’t you defeated by me?” Mo Xiao continued.
“Damn it! That was also an accident!!!”
Listening to the frustrated roar of the Sword Emperor, Mo Xiao chuckled, “Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Now we need to find a place to rest. It’s best to find a place that the Tu family can’t locate.”
“Isn’t that simple? Just leave the city,” the now calm Sword Emperor heard this and replied without much thought.
Hearing this, Mo Xiao was taken aback. “Leave the city? There are monsters outside the city…”
“Are you afraid of ordinary wild monsters?” The Sword Emperor asked with a strange expression. “With your skill attributes and equipment, those wild monsters won’t be able to kill you.”
“True.”
Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully and looked around. “But… Jiangnan Base City is so big… Where is the city gate?”
At the same time, in the City Lord Residence of Yicheng Base City.
“What? There are 500 monsters gathered 10 kilometers away from our base city?! And they’re still continuously gathering?? This can’t be possible!”
Fang Chang listened to the news on the phone with a look of disbelief.
“Nothing is impossible. The monsters are probably planning to attack the city.” “Why would this happen… What are the levels of these monsters? Are there any particularly strong bosses or elites?” Fang Chang inquired further.
“Not at the moment, but as you know, once the siege begins, bosses and elites will be directly teleported over. Right now, whether we see them or not doesn’t really matter.”
“I understand. Come back first, gather the professionals and prepare for battle,” Fang Chang instructed.
“Yes.”
Fang Chang hung up the call and looked outside the city gate with a solemn expression. “Why are they launching a siege? 1 hope the level of the siege isn’t too high… Our base city can’t withstand too strong an impact now…”
He sighed lightly and dialed the phone again, “Hello, Jiang Shan, gather all the high-ranking members and prepare for a meeting. There’s something important to arrange.”
Half an hour later, at the city gate of Jiangnan Base City.
“I’m sorry, but without the City Lord’s pass, no one is allowed to leave.”
The guard looked at Mo Xiao and said very seriously.
“Why… you’ve closed the city too? Are there elites outside Jiangnan Base City as well?” Mo Xiao said somewhat helplessly.
“Yes, we ask for your understanding. For the safety of everyone, we’ve also closed the city. If you want to level up, it’s better to go to the city’s instance dungeon hall.” the guard said.
Hearing this, Mo Xiao sighed again and was about to turn back when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
“Want to leave the city? I can take you out-”
Hearing this voice, Mo Xiao instinctively turned his head, “Su… Su Jin’er?”
“Hello, Little Mo Xiao. How come you’re in Jiangnan Base City?” Su Jin’er looked at Mo Xiao curiously and said, “And you didn’t even tell me you were coming to Jiangnan Base City. Are we not friends?”
“Uh… I’m here to discuss business with the Tu family,” Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment and replied truthfully.
“Tu family? Haven’t they let you off yet?” Su Jin’er frowned when she heard this.
“The enmity is almost settled, but it seems like I’ve just made a new grudge.” Mo Xiao shook his head and said, “But why are you in Jiangnan Base City?” “Huh? Didn’t I tell you? My home is in Jiangnan Base City. I didn’t have much to do these past few days, so I wanted to come home and rest-” Su Jin’er said with a smile. “You want to leave the city. Is it to escape from Tu’s family?”
“Uh… You could say that. I don’t know if the Tu family will hold a grudge against me.” Mo Xiao rubbed his nose and said truthfully.
When Su Jin’er heard this, she tilted her head and said, “It’s not safe outside now. How about you come to my house? With me around, that old fellow surnamed Tu wouldn’t dare to do anything to you..”
