Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Leaving Ming’an City
The Dominating Star Mansion martial artist hesitated for a moment.
But, facing the words of an Alchemist, he didn’t dare to doubt too much.
Whoosh... In the next second, the Dominating Star Mansion martial artist carried Chen Xing and instantly flashed away.
Only an angry declaration was left behind.
"Yi Xiao, just wait for the endless pursuit from my Dominating Star Mansion."
Xiao Yi smiled coldly, not paying it any attention.
"Ugh." Suddenly, Xiao Yi groaned, a trace of blood slightly oozing from the corner of his mouth.
His steps also faltered slightly.
Under the mask was already a pale face.
Defeating this Chen Xing seemed simple to outsiders, but it was far more difficult than imagined.
No, or more accurately, before Chen Xing unleashed his Mid-grade Holy Artifact, Xiao Yi indeed crushed him effortlessly.
However, after releasing the Mid-grade Holy Artifact, though it seemed Xiao Yi defeated the enemy in an instant, internally, he had already suffered serious backlash.
The Primordial Power that erupted in that instant almost exhausted all his Qi Spring’s Primordial Power.
At this moment, in the distance, martial artists who had ’fled’ the City Lord’s Mansion returned swiftly.
The Flame Meteor in the sky and the Molten Lava Fire Column surrounding had long disappeared.
"Master Yi Xiao." The Ming’an City Lord was the first to flash to Xiao Yi’s side.
Xiao Yi nodded and glanced at Yu An and others in the distance, "I suppose the matter with the Yu Family, the Ming’an City Lord can handle himself."
"Of course." The Ming’an City Lord nodded.
"Without the suppression of the Dominating Star Mansion, this Yu Family wouldn’t dare to provoke my City Lord’s Mansion."
Xiao Yi nodded, "Since that’s the case, Yi shall take leave, as I have important matters to attend to."
Xiao Yi turned to leave, and apart from the Ming’an City Lord and a few others like Qin Zhi who dared to approach, the rest of the martial artists retreated far away.
Clearly, the earlier scene of Xiao Yi laughing wildly at the sky and brutally defeating Chen Xing made everyone realize that Yi Xiao was not someone to mess with.
"Master Yi Xiao, please wait." The Ming’an City Lord hastily called out to Xiao Yi.
"Is there something else?" Xiao Yi stopped his steps slightly and glanced back.
The Ming’an City Lord gave him a deep bow, saluting.
Xiao Yi sidestepped, not accepting the courtesy.
"Master Yi Xiao must accept my courtesy." The Ming’an City Lord said seriously.
"For the great kindness Master Yi Xiao showed towards my City Lord’s Mansion, I shall never forget it."
The Ming’an City Lord did not refer to himself as ’this City Lord’ but as ’I’.
"What great kindness?" Xiao Yi shook his head.
"The Yu Family wanted to kill me, and the Dominating Star Mansion supports the Yu Family, so Chen Xing wanted to kill me."
"So I just crippled him, that’s all."
"Heh." The Ming’an City Lord quickly walked up to Xiao Yi, giving a playful smile.
"Master Yi Xiao, you can fool that brute from the Dominating Star Mansion and that kid, but not me."
"Otherwise, I would have been a City Lord for nothing all these years."
Xiao Yi shook his head and said nothing.
The Ming’an City Lord chuckled, "Although I have not interacted much with Master Yi Xiao, I have secretly observed you a few times."
"Though my strength may not compare to Master Yi Xiao’s, in terms of understanding people’s thoughts, I’m not bad."
"Based on what I understand about Master Yi Xiao, you don’t seem like a person who likes to talk much."
"No, to be more precise, you are even less willing to stir up trouble or get involved with too many matters. So even when I wanted to keep you for a meal before, you refused."
"With Master Yi Xiao’s character, I don’t believe you would talk much to Chen Xing, nor do I believe you would laugh wildly to show off."
Indeed, in the eyes of the Ming’an City Lord, Xiao Yi’s recent wild laugh and mockery seemed like needless showing off.
But this kind of show, some proud Heavenly Talents would extremely enjoy.
And a person like Yi Xiao, who walks dangerous tasks daily, always has a cold demeanor, rarely smiles, and is so mentally mature, absolutely wouldn’t do so.
But he still did it, proving a different purpose.
"Master Yi Xiao specially protected my City Lord’s Mansion." The Ming’an City Lord said heavily.
"So, I hope Master Yi Xiao will accept this courtesy."
Xiao Yi shook his head, still sidestepping to avoid it.
"This courtesy, I won’t accept."
"After all, the fight was intense just now and destroyed your City Lord’s Mansion."
"Heh." The Ming’an City Lord chuckled, "Master Yi Xiao is joking."
"The City Lord’s Mansion is destroyed, then it’s destroyed. Rebuilding it is not difficult."
Xiao Yi nodded, "The Dominating Star Mansion should not trouble you anymore."
"Of course." The Ming’an City Lord nodded certainly.
"It’s just that Master Yi Xiao, you may face endless troubles in the future." The Ming’an City Lord tightened his brows.
"Chen Xing, in front of countless people, was defeated by Master Yi Xiao."
"And again, in front of everyone’s eyes, that Dominating Star Mansion martial artist knelt to beg for mercy to spare Chen Xing’s life."
"The Dominating Star Mansion will only kill you, Master Yi Xiao, before coming to my Ming’an City Lord’s Mansion."
"Otherwise, they would be known for only avenging small figures like me."
The Ming’an City Lord said while smiling, "The Dominating Star Mansion is one of the Overlord Forces of the vast Central Region."
"My Ming’an City Lord’s Mansion, in their eyes, is just an ant."
"An ant versus their reputation, they will easily choose."
Xiao Yi nodded, "Goodbye."
The Ming’an City Lord hastily said, "Master Yi Xiao, about the future pursuits of the Dominating Star Mansion, you..."
Before the Ming’an City Lord could finish speaking, Xiao Yi flashed away, leaving no further response.
"Sigh." The Ming’an City Lord sighed and shook his head.
"So young, yet with overwhelming strength and shocking talent, and possessing excellent discernment."
"If this boy doesn’t die, he will definitely become famous in the Central Region in the future."
After speaking, the Ming’an City Lord withdrew his gaze, looking at the old housekeeper beside him.
"Later, take Ming’er away. I will stay in the City Lord’s Mansion by myself."
The old housekeeper looked shocked, "City Lord, didn’t you say the Dominating Star Mansion wouldn’t deal with us? Why send the Young City Lord away..."
The Ming’an City Lord waved his hand, interrupting, "In fact, I know Master Yi Xiao’s thoughts."
"But, there are always unexpected contingencies."
"Ming’er." The Ming’an City Lord glanced at the child, "Remember, in the future, Brother Yi Xiao will be your benefactor."
"Your talent is astonishing, even surprising your father. When your cultivation is successful, if there’s a chance, you must repay him, understood?"
The child nodded.
At this moment, suddenly, a sharp aura shot straight towards the child.
"Ming’er, watch out." The Ming’an City Lord flashed and stood in front of the child.
"Yu An, you..." The Ming’an City Lord glared coldly at Yu An.
The sharp aura just now was sent by Yu An.
"Just a child, would you really strike him down?" The Ming’an City Lord’s face was icy.
"Hmph." Yu An sneered, "A child? That child is your son, therefore my enemy."
"Also, I advise you to surrender obediently."
"Young Master Chen Xing has promised our Yu Family the position of this Ming’an City Lord."
"It won’t be long before you, your son, and everyone else in the City Lord’s Mansion aren’t allowed to live."
"Are you still dreaming Chen Xing can return?" The Ming’an City Lord sneered.
"Just wait. In my life, I have been extremely accurate in judging people; between Master Yi Xiao and the Dominating Star Mansion, who troubles whom is not yet certain."
"Would the Dominating Star Mansion have the leisure to bother with a small city’s small family like yours? Ridiculous."
"Men, seize all the members of the Yu Family." The Ming’an City Lord shouted coldly, "Kill them on the spot."
