Chapter 469 Doubt
"Lord City Lord, please rest assured! We are more than willing to serve you when you treat us, the vulnerable, with such kindness."
"However, I have another request, and I hope that the city lord can grant it."
"Just tell me what you need, and I'll do anything I can to help you."
"I need someone to practice martial arts with me. I wonder if you, Lord City Lord, would be willing to grant me this request?"
"That's no problem at all. I will definitely grant your request." The city lord nodded.
The city lord then summoned the guard directly.
The guard was also puzzled when he saw Xu Yao's appearance.
He didn't know who Xu Yao was, but he could sense the powerful aura emanating from Xu Yao.
He also knew that Xu Yao's identity must be extraordinary.
"You two lead them and take him to choose a courtyard to entertain him properly."
Upon hearing the city lord's words, the two guards nodded and led Xu Yao into the city lord's mansion.
Xu Yao, led by two guards, headed towards a very secluded courtyard.
Looking at the flowers, plants, and trees surrounding the courtyard, Xu Yao couldn't help but smile.
"This little courtyard is really nice, I like it."
Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the two guards were completely dumbfounded.
"Hey! Young man, do you know what you're saying? My young master is the city lord! How dare you cause trouble on our territory?"
The man stared coldly at Xu Yao and said.
"So what if your city lord is powerful? Is he more powerful than the Demon King?" Xu Yao said disdainfully.
The man was stunned upon hearing Xu Yao's words.
He couldn't help but hesitate, after all, the Demon King was an invincible being in their hearts.
If they were to actually clash with the Demon King, they would definitely suffer a crushing defeat.
So although he was somewhat angry, he did not continue to refute.
Seeing the man's reaction, Xu Yao couldn't help but sneer, then turned and left.
As Xu Yao entered the courtyard, he couldn't help but see an old man quietly meditating and cultivating among a cluster of flowers.
Xu Yao was also slightly taken aback.
"I didn't expect there to be such a master here?" With that thought, Xu Yao walked directly toward the old man.
"Senior, this junior has arrived. I wonder if you could teach this junior some kung fu?" Xu Yao said respectfully, standing beside the old man.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xu Yao and said calmly, "Not bad! You are very strong."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior! I'm just someone who has just broken through to the next level. How could I possibly be a senior?" Xu Yao said modestly.
Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the old man smiled faintly.
"I'm quite surprised that you've reached this level so quickly."
"However, I don't have any skills to teach you, and if you don't want to be killed here, you'd better get out of here now."
"If you stay here, your fate will not just be to be killed."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Xu Yao couldn't help but frown.
He was somewhat surprised that the person in front of him knew even his purpose.
However, he quickly came to terms with it.
"So that's how it is. It seems that this city lord must be in cahoots with the Demon King."
"Otherwise, how could he know me so well?" Xu Yao wondered to himself.
However, he also knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to get any information from the old man in front of him.
Xu Yao then walked directly outside the courtyard.
"Since you have nothing to teach me, senior, I won't stay here any longer."
"However, I also hope that you will not use your strength casually in the future."
"You need to understand that doing this will bring you to your death," Xu Yao said calmly.
"Hehe, I think you still don't understand what you're doing right now!"
"You are just a rogue cultivator, you have no idea what this world is really like. In this world, strength determines everything."
"And I'm also warning you, you'd better not provoke our City Lord's Mansion lightly."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Xu Yao couldn't help but sneer.
"Senior, you're really confident! Do you think I'd be afraid of your damned City Lord's Mansion?"
"But since you're so eager to die, I won't mind sending you on your way."
"You can try, but I guarantee that if you actually dare to make a move, your end will be extremely miserable," the old man sneered.
"Is that so?" Xu Yao said, raising his hand and striking out with a palm.
Seeing Xu Yao's arrogance, the old man's eyes widened in disbelief.
He hurriedly circulated his internal energy to resist Xu Yao's attack.
Then the old man's true energy and Xu Yao's attack collided repeatedly, producing a series of booming sounds.
Xu Yao was also in no way inferior.
The old man was slightly surprised to see Xu Yao's appearance.
Because he did not expect that his true energy would be suppressed by the young man in front of him.
"Just who is this kid? How can he possess such terrifying strength?"
"How can there be such a powerful person in this world!"
Xu Yao ignored the old man's shock and continued to unleash his inner energy to attack him.
After a muffled thud, the old man coughed up blood and flew backward, landing on a chair some distance away.
Xu Yao pressed his advantage, charging forward to continue attacking his opponent.
"Stop! How dare you!" The old man shouted angrily upon seeing Xu Yao's stance.
"Why wouldn't I dare? Are you saying you made the rules of this city?"
Xu Yao sneered, then prepared to continue attacking the old man.
At that moment, a powerful pressure enveloped the entire room.
Sensing this imposing aura, Xu Yao stopped attacking.
But at that moment, a short, stout old man appeared beside the old man.
Upon seeing the elderly man dressed in luxurious clothes, Xu Yao's eyes flickered.
The old man was none other than the guard who had been standing on the city wall protecting the city gate.
Upon seeing this person, Xu Yao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Greetings, Senior Guardian!" Xu Yao said hurriedly.
"Okay! You can step back now!" the short, stout old man said, waving his hand.
