Could it be that Poison Lord was looking for him because of Zhen Wang?
Lin Xiao didn't understand, but he followed his instructions and went to Four Corner City to meet Poison Lord.
Lin Xiao trusted Poison Lord. If he wanted to meet him at this time, it must be something important. Moreover, Zhen Wang wouldn't attack him at this time.
Four Corner City was one of the top ten prefectures in Zhongzhou.
It wasn't too far from Zhongzhou, so Lin Xiao quickly arrived at Four Corner City. In a restaurant in Four Corner City, Lin Xiao saw Poison Lord drinking alone.
"Brother Poison, you're in such a good mood!"
Seeing Poison Lord drinking, Lin Xiao couldn't help but tease him as he walked over. "Instead of completing the mission given by your Shura Sect leader, you're drinking and slacking off here. Aren't you afraid of being punished by your Sect leader?"
"Don't be so talkative."
Poison Lord snorted and looked at Lin Xiao. He pointed at the seat opposite him and said, "Sit."
Lin Xiao answered softly and sat opposite Poison Lord. He supported his chin with one hand and stared at Poison Lord for a while. Lin Xiao asked slowly, "Brother Poison, why did you call me over at this time?"
"Of course there's something important."
Poison Lord looked at Lin Xiao lazily and pointed at the wine glass in front of him. He said, "Don't be in such a hurry. Have a drink first and we'll talk."
Poison Lord drank a glass as he let Lin Xiao drink.
His expression was neither good nor bad. It was hard to fathom what he was thinking.
In fact, Poison Lord did not know what he was feeling right now. On one hand, he was unhappy that Zhen Wang had seen through his identity and used it to blackmail him into cooperating with Asura Sect. On the other hand, knowing that Zhen Wang was disloyal to Asura Sect and could be used to his advantage, Poison Lord was happy.
Lin Xiao felt rather helpless when he saw the strange expression on the Poison Lord's face. He lifted his wine cup and took a sip before he could not help but ask, "Brother Poison, stop keeping me in suspense. What exactly happened?"
"It's something that I don't know if it's good or bad."
Poison Lord sighed and said slowly, "I called you here to ask you to do something for me."
"Do something?
What is it? "
Lin Xiao looked at the Poison Lord in astonishment. Now that he had defeated the Aquatic King, he would not be returning to the Medicine Sect for the time being. What else could the Poison Lord need his help with?
"Something big."
Poison Monarch sighed and said seriously, "I need you to kill someone, and this person has a special identity. He is the successor of the Tool Sect's Sect Leader, Yu Pingchang. He is very weak, only a Gold Celestial, but as you can see, he has a very high status in the Tool Sect!
If you want to kill him, it won't be easy. Moreover, if you don't handle it cleanly, you'll bring disaster upon yourself! "
What?
Murder?
And the one he killed was the successor of the Equipment Refining Sect!
One had to know that although Lin Xiao wasn't familiar with the three reclusive sects, he was still very clear about their strength.
For example, the Shura Sect had eight Shura Eight Kings at the peak of the Half-saint realm and dozens of ordinary Half-saint experts. Even if the Ten Great Sects worked together, they might not be a match for them!
The Equipment Refining Sect was a hidden sect that was on par with the Shura Sect. How could its strength be simple?
However, the Poison Lord had helped him so many times. If he rejected the Poison Lord, Lin Xiao would feel bad. He had to be patient and asked, "Why do you want to kill him?"
Lin Xiao did not think that the Poison Lord was a person who had nothing better to do. There had to be a reason to kill someone like Yu Pingchang!
Although he did not mind helping the Poison Lord kill someone, he still wanted to know the cause and effect.
"The reason is a little complicated, but to put it simply, killing him is also for yourself. As long as you kill him, not only will you have one less problem, but you will also have one more helper!"
The Poison Lord revealed a mysterious smile as he slowly said with a soft chuckle.
"One less problem, one more helper?"
Lin Xiao looked at the Poison Lord in confusion.
"That's right, one less problem!"
With a smile, the Poison Lord explained, "I won't keep you in suspense. I'll be direct. The Zhen King asked me to do this!"
"The Zhen King?"
Lin Xiao looked at the Poison Lord in surprise again.
"That's right, the Zhen King!"
The Poison Lord nodded and continued, "The Zhen King already knows about our relationship. He even has some doubts about my true identity. I have to help him!"
"You don't have to help him. Brother Poison can …"
Lin Xiao made a killing gesture and said coldly.
Lin Xiao did not have the slightest good impression of the Zhen King. Now that the Zhen King knew about this, he could kill him. Why should he keep him alive?
Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, the Poison Lord shook his head and said, "I know that you have a grudge with the Zhen King. But special times call for special people.
The Zhen King's strength is not bad and he is not loyal to the Asura Sect. He is someone we can work with. Why shouldn't we make good use of him? "
"But …"
Lin Xiao frowned when he heard this.
Of course, he knew that the Zhen King's strength was not bad. If he could use him, it would be of great help to him. However, the Zhen King had destroyed Qingzhou City. He would not let him go no matter what.
"I understand what you're thinking. Our cooperation is only temporary. After this special time, you can avenge Qingzhou and Qingzong. It's not too late!"
Seeing the reluctance on Lin Xiao's face, the Poison Lord said again, "It's better for us to work with the Zhen King now. It's not convenient for me to deal with the Equipment Refining Sect personally. I can only ask for your help. Of course, I only hope that you can help me. If you really don't want to, I won't force you."
"Alright."
Since the Poison Lord had put it this way, Lin Xiao naturally had nothing to say.
In the current situation, if he did not work with the Zhen King temporarily, he would have to be on guard against the Zhen King's attacks on Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and even Divine Land and Jiao State. He would not be able to guard against all of them. It was better to cooperate with the Zhen King temporarily and find a chance to take revenge later.
As for killing the successor of the Equipment Refining Sect, wasn't it just one more enemy?
Lin Xiao did not care!
The situation in the Central Region was completely chaotic. If he could pull the Equipment Refining Sect into the situation, it would not be a bad thing for Lin Xiao.
After all, the more chaotic the Central Region was, the greater Lin Xiao's chances would be.
As the saying goes, "The times make heroes." It was not easy to unify the Firmament World. If the Equipment Refining Sect and the Ouyang Family maintained their strength and did not participate in the battle, it would not be easy for Lin Xiao to shake them with his own strength.
