"No one?"

When they saw that the tree had collapsed without a single person to be seen, both Chen Yao and Xiao Dao were surprised. They looked at each other and did not say anything. However, their hearts were extremely heavy.

Even though Chen Yao was only at the 6th level of the Mortal Realm, because he had the Chaotic Sword Seed in his body, Chen Yao could feel any spiritual energy fluctuations around him. Chen Yao could be sure that someone was hiding here because he sensed an energy fluctuation earlier; even if Xiao Dao could not kill the opponent with his Phantom Body Technique, he would at least be able to detect the opponent's real body. However, Chen Yao was puzzled by the fact that even though Xiao Dao had attacked first, he did not force him out.

That meant there was only one possibility. That person was very strong, more powerful than they imagined. At least, it was in the Genuine Force, or even the Royal Martial Realm.

If he was here for experiential learning, then with his cultivation at the Genuine Force or the Royal Martial Realm, he would at least go to the second floor. He would definitely not appear here and with his strong cultivation, there was no need to hide.

Was it the person sent by the Liu Family to kill him?

Thinking of this, Chen Yao got a shock. But then he thought, if the Liu Family really sent out the killer, he would be dead by now. He would not have the opportunity to be lost in thought here.

Then what did the other party mean by hiding?

Was it someone from the sect that was secretly protecting him? Hm, is that possible? But if it really was someone from the sword faction, then when he was fighting the Flying Python just now, the opponent wasn't there. If he was, then his trump card would have been revealed.

Just as Chen Yao was pondering, he inadvertently noticed that Xiao Dao had a very serious expression as he sized up Chen Yao. That sharp gaze behind the metal mask seemed to want to pierce through Chen Yao.

Perhaps the other party had already guessed that this mysterious expert was related to him. Moreover, just now, with his cultivation at the sixth level of the Qi realm, he had discovered Tie Man, a hidden expert that even someone at the eighth level of the Qi realm could not discover. This caused her to pay more attention to Chen Yao.

At the same time, Chen Yao also felt that this knife was very powerful and was a formidable opponent. It was because he had the Chaos Sword Seed that allowed him to discover the hidden expert.

Xiao Dao seemed to have some secrets like himself.

"Sister, what happened?" Tie Man and Liu Jiao'er still didn't know what was going on.

Xiao Dao looked deeply at Chen Yao. Then, he whispered to Chen Yao, "It's none of your business. However, don't create trouble for us. Otherwise, your head will have to move sooner or later."

Finally, he walked towards Tie Man and calmly said, "It's fine. Just now, I felt that there was a demon beast nearby. Perhaps I was mistaken."

Chen Yao looked at Xiao Dao's back with a grave expression. He originally thought that he was invincible within the same realm, but never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Xiao Dao would be such a monstrous genius.

If he was on the same level as Xiao Dao, the victory would be fifty to fifty. Only if he was one stage higher than his opponent would he be able to defeat him.

"..."

"Brother Chen, why don't we go together?" Suddenly, Liu Jiao'er walked toward Chen Yao and extended an invitation to him.

"Give me a reason?"

She was a very innocent girl. However, due to his father, Liu Tian, Chen Yao really didn't like her, so he deliberately wanted to keep his distance from her.

My mother is my father's ex-wife, but my mother fell sick when she gave birth to me, so she can't bear to have children anymore. So my father married many of my aunts, left my mother and her alone, and helped my mother get away with her illness. Not long ago, my mother's old illness broke out, and I needed the Black Bear's bear paw as my mother's medicine, so my father had no choice but to hire three of his own mercenaries and me to hunt in the Vast Expanse Forest.

He recalled that Liu Jiao'er was in quite a lot of situations in Annan City. She didn't have much money or money, so she couldn't afford to hire high ranking mercenaries, so he hired three air force realm mercenaries to accompany her. However, this little girl was really naive.

He had always been weak, but now that Wang Shan had died, this Liu Jiao'er probably wanted to pull him into her gang.

Chen Yao liked this kind of filial girl very much. After all, the other party was Liu Tian's daughter. Chen Yao was somewhat distant from her, hesitating whether he should agree or not.

Seeing that Chen Yao was hesitating, Liu Jiao'er clenched her teeth and said to Chen Yao, "As long as you can help me, regardless of whether I succeed or not, I will pay you twenty low-grade spirit stones. I know that you think it's too little, but this is really all of my savings."

Twenty low-grade spirit stones were only a tenth of the cultivation resources that Chen Yao had obtained from the sect every month when he was still a disciple of the sword faction. Especially since Chen Yao had a mutated dantian that could grow spiritual medicine, even two thousand of them wouldn't be enough to move Chen Yao.

However, Chen Yao did have the intention to help Liu Jiao'er.

After all, Liu Jiao'er was Liu Jiao'er, and Liu Tian was Liu Tian.

This Liu Jiao'er was truly naive and adorable. Looking at Liu Jiao'er's red face and her anxious tears, Chen Yao finally nodded his head.

"Hahaha, hahaha, you are truly killing me with laughter."

One of them held a folding fan in his hand and had a cultivation of the 7th level of the Qi warrior, while the other held a long spear in his hand. His cultivation was at the 8th level of the Qi warrior, and behind the two of them, there were a total of twenty armored soldiers, all of them at the 5th level of the Qi warrior stage. Moreover, each of them was emitting a faintly discernable killing intent.

"Liu Xiao, why are you here?" And with his father's guards? And Zhang Lie, why are you here as well? " Liu Jiao'er was shocked when she saw this group of people suddenly appear in front of her. She became flustered as well.

Tie Man and Xiao Dao walked to Liu Jiao'er's side. As mercenaries, they had a sense of responsibility and a sense of mission.

Tie Man explained to Chen Yao, "The young master with a folding fan is Liu Jiao'er's half-brother, Liu Xiao. Liu Jiao'er's situation in the Liu family is not good, and she is always in a difficult situation. This time, when she went out to find medicine for her mother, she also secretly ran out.

Chen Yao immediately felt even more sorry for Liu Jiao'er. He would have to help her.
