"Yes, this is a good plan, very good!" Ling Xiao replied.
Why didn't he think of such a simple and effective method?
With his current status, it would be great to find a courtyard outside the city for Xuan Yao, Yurou Fei and the others to stay for the time being.
On one hand, it would allow them to use the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here to cultivate, and on the other hand, they could help him take care of various matters. It was truly a way to kill two birds with one stone.
"Since Palace Master wants to stay here for a while, we can help you find many alchemy spirit herbs or holy objects. In any case, we will need them in the future," Xuan Yao said.
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. Then there's no time to lose. I'll find a place for you to stay outside the city so that you can familiarize yourselves with the environment here. After you've figured out everything, you can think of a way to leave this place."
Ling Xiao put away Xuan Yao for the time being and left the Zhang family in the name of patrolling. He went out of the city.
These days, Ling Xiao was not alone in the Zhang family. There were nearly a hundred people under him who listened to his orders.
However, most of these people were Zhang family's trusted aides or side branches, so it was difficult to rope them in.
However, there was a guard called Chai Guan who was pleasing to Ling Xiao's eyes.
He was not a member of the Zhang family, but a guard that the Zhang family had recruited in the past two years. He was only a low-level Saint.
In the Heaven Domain, this strength could only be considered as a beginner and not an expert.
However, Ling Xiao liked his cleverness, and at the same time, he had the heart to improve.
However, the other deacons of the Zhang family had always ignored him and did not value him at all. They felt that Chai Guan's Tenbin was limited, and providing him with resources would only be a waste.
Therefore, Ling Xiao handed the matter of finding a courtyard to Chai Guan, and at the same time, he also wanted to take Chai Guan as a confidant.
In this day and age, there were not many people who ran errands to do things, so it was not very convenient.
Ling Xiao could be considered a little famous in Stone Heaven City now, so it was impossible for him to do everything by himself.
"Elder Ling, I found it, I found it!" Chai Guan ran over excitedly and exclaimed.
Ling Xiao glared at him and said, "You're making a fuss out of nothing!"
Chai Guan quickly stopped talking, then lowered his voice and said: "Elder Ling, the courtyard you are looking for has been found, but the location is a bit remote, the price is easy to discuss."
"Well, that's good. Take me there to have a look. Don't let anyone else know about this. Otherwise, you know the consequences!" Ling Xiao nodded.
Chai Guan knew that Ling Xiao was a god of death who had survived the Coliseum. When he heard Ling Xiao's serious tone, Chai Guan was a little scared. "Elder Ling, don't worry. I don't know anything."
"Good, this is your reward. If you work hard for me in the future, I won't forget your benefits!" Ling Xiao took out a Saint Pill and threw it to Chai Guan.
This move could be said to be like giving a jujube after giving a slap. Only by using both carrot and stick could one better win over the hearts of the people.
Ling Xiao had been a Palace Master for many years, so he naturally understood this principle.
He had seen this Holy Pill many times, but he had never had enough profound crystal s to buy it, and the clan did not give it to him. Now that he had done a small thing for Ling Xiao, he had actually obtained the pill that he had yearned for even in his dreams. His heart was filled with gratitude towards Ling Xiao.
"This subordinate will definitely be loyal to Elder!" Chai Guan knelt down on one knee and replied firmly.
"Get up, take me to the courtyard first." Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.
Immediately after, Ling Xiao and Chai Guan went to look at the courtyard.
This courtyard was located in the south of the city and was considered to be on the outskirts of the city. It could only be considered a place where ordinary people lived and there was nothing special about it.
However, Ling Xiao was satisfied with this. As long as Xuan Yao and the others had a place to stay, it would be enough.
Ling Xiao bought the courtyard and then asked Chai Guan to clean it up before letting Chai Guan leave first.
Ling Xiao was not in a hurry to let Xuan Yao and Yurou Fei out. He had already sensed that someone was watching his whereabouts.
For more than a month, Ling Xiao had always known that his whereabouts were being watched.
At first, he thought that it might be the Zhang family who did not trust him, so he did not take it to heart.
Now that he sensed the other party's undisguised killing intent, it must be someone other than the Zhang family.
However, this was after all the city, and ordinary people did not dare to casually start a fight.
However, the few people who had been tracking him could not wait to kill Ling Xiao and actually appeared at the same time.
There were a total of five people, two advanced Holy Emperor and three intermediate Holy Emperor.
"So it's you, old man?" Ling Xiao looked at one of the old men and sneered.
"Hmph, you killed my young master. Today will be the day you pay for it!" The old man snorted coldly.
Then, he called out to his people and instantly spread out, wanting to block off Ling Xiao's way.
However, Ling Xiao did not let them do as they wished. He suddenly rushed out of the city.
This courtyard had just been bought, and Ling Xiao did not want them to destroy it.
"Catch him, don't let him escape!" The old man shouted.
Ling Xiao was now an outer elder of the Zhang family. If they let Ling Xiao escape to the Zhang family and ask for reinforcements, it would be difficult for them to deal with him. It might even cause a conflict between the two families.
They did not want the Zhang family to know, and Ling Xiao did not want anyone else to know.
These people were elders of the Gao family, so they must have a lot of good things. This was the first expenditure that came to their door.
When they reached the wilderness outside the city, Ling Xiao deliberately slowed down to let them catch up.
"Little bastard, let's see where you can escape!" The old man shouted and the sacred weapon in his hand blasted mercilessly at Ling Xiao.
The others also made their moves, and the power of space squeezed into a prison, sealing Ling Xiao, not giving him a chance to escape.
"Hehe, today, I will let you see my strength!" Ling Xiao sneered, and his combat strength soared to the extreme in an instant. The Golden Dragon Spear appeared in his hand.
Ling Xiao turned around and brandished his sword to meet the old man's sword.
Rumble!
The collision produced a loud sound, and the high-grade sword in the old man's hand cracked.
"Demi-Divine weapon!" The old man looked flustered, and then he shouted, "Let's kill him together!"
"Brother Xianyu, let us fight side by side. This will be the first battle between us brothers, let's see who can kill the most!" Ling Xiao shouted.
As his voice fell, Xianyu Ye's tall figure appeared in front of the Gao family's Holy Emperor.
"It's … it's Man Lunatic, he's not dead!" One of the Holy Emperor exclaimed.
Xianyu Ye snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he punched out, and the majestic fist energy smashed down like a falling meteorite, blasting towards the Holy Emperor who had just exclaimed.
The Holy Emperor blocked with all his strength, and he had the help of others, but he was still blasted far away, and was seriously injured.
"Haha, brother Xianyu's fist energy is indeed unparalleled!" Ling Xiao laughed wildly, and the Limitless Doppelganger appeared.
One hundred and eight doppelgangers all surrounded the two high-grade Holy Emperors.
The two high-grade Holy Emperors were not ordinary people, and they even summoned holy beasts to fight together.
Ling Xiao's battle prowess was extraordinary, and relying on the Golden Dragon Spear and the advantage of his movement technique, he was unstoppable, and directly took down the two ninth-grade spirit beasts with his spear.
As for the two Holy Emperors who surrounded him, they were already afraid.
They had all seen Ling Xiao's terrifying battle prowess, and originally thought that they would be able to take him down with five against one.
However, the sudden appearance of Man Lunatic, who was not inferior to Ling Xiao's God of Slaughter, meant that they had no chance of winning.
Just when the two wanted to escape, Ling Xiao had already used his full strength, and many doppelgangers surrounded them, and the Golden Dragon Spear mercilessly smashed down.
The Golden Dragon Spear was an offensive type of semi-divine weapon, and the power it could display was terrifying.
One peerless Golden Dragon after another roared, drowning the two of them.
Both of their Holy Weapons were shattered, and their bodies were bombarded by the Golden Dragon Spear. They did not even have a chance to escape before they were stabbed by Ling Xiao's spear.
On the other side, Xianyu Ye had also killed the other three mid-grade Holy Emperors with a few punches.
The surrounding area was covered in blood, and it looked extremely poignant.
Ling Xiao once again showed his greedy personality, taking the Beast Cores of the holy beasts and the Space Rings of the five Holy Emperors.
"Come, Brother Xianyu, these three are yours, you're the fastest to kill!" Ling Xiao threw three Space Rings to Xianyu Ye.
However, Xianyu Ye refused, "Brother Ling, what do you mean by this? These are yours!"
Ling Xiao said, "In the future, you and I might have to part ways. If you don't have anything, how are you going to walk around the Heavenly Realm? Furthermore, with my ability, earning Black Crystals is a piece of cake. Quickly accept it."
Xianyu Ye was moved once again.
Since he came to the Heaven Domain, when had anyone ever treated him so sincerely?
He no longer acted coquettishly and put away the three Space Rings. He made up his mind that he would definitely make a name for himself with Ling Xiao, and when he reached the Divine King Realm in the future, he would be able to move his clansmen to the Heaven Domain.
"Alright, let's go, I believe we've already attracted the attention of others!" Ling Xiao called out, then put Xianyu Ye away and rushed back to the city.
Ling Xiao once again returned to the courtyard and summoned Xuan Yao, Yurou Fei, Feng Qingyuan, and Sha Tian.
Ling Xiao handed over some medicinal pellets that he didn't use much, as well as some precious materials that he had obtained from the nine layers of spatial barriers, to Xuan Yao, telling him to think of a way to sell them all and exchange them for top-grade profound crystals.
Xuan Yao naturally agreed.
However, there were many peerless experts in the Heaven Region and Ling Xiao had ordered them to keep a low profile. Especially Yu Rou Fei and Feng Qing Yuan, they had to change their disguises when they went out. They must not attract attention and attract trouble.
Although Yurou Fei and Sha Tian had both reached the peak of the middle stage Holy Emperor, it was still not enough in the Heaven Realm.
Following that, Ling Xiao discussed many matters with them and left them a way to contact him before preparing to return to the Zhang Family.
At this time, Feng Qingyuan said, "Xiao'er, when do you plan to look for your master?"
Ling Xiao replied: "At the earliest, half a year, at the latest, a year. Mistress, don't be anxious, we have already arrived at the Heaven Domain, we will definitely go look for Master. Right now, what you need to do is to raise your strength first!"
"En, Mistress understands. I was the one who dragged you down!" Feng Qingyuan replied.
