Devouring Sword God

Chapter 39
Dixing City was one of the largest cities in the Great Shang Dynasty, and it was the most valued place.

Because there is a behemoth here, the Palace of Seven Killing Stars!

When Yi Xiaoyao walked out of the forest and stepped into this bustling city, it was already three days later.

"It's such a big city. It's many times bigger than Shoucheng. Compared with the prosperity here, Shoucheng is like a poor mountain village."

Yi Xiaoyao walked in the Earth and Star City, scrutinized all the way, and realized more and more what it means to have a sky beyond the sky.

On the broad avenue, people came and went, and some people even rode huge monster beasts galloping past.

Yi Xiaoyao was amazed in his heart. When the monster passed by just now, the aura it gave off was really terrifying, at least it was a monster above the third rank!
At the same time, Yi Xiaoyao inquired all the way, and after walking for half a day, he finally arrived at the area where the Seven Killing Star Palace is located.

In front of him, boys and girls who are about the same age as Yi Xiaoyao are gathered together.

Yi Xiaoyao walked over there, wanting to find out who Yan Lao asked him to look for.

"Who! Dare to break into the examination place of the Seven Killing Star Palace!"

A guard shouted and stopped Yi Xiaoyao.

Then, a middle-aged man in black came out from the crowd and said to the guard: "It should be a new disciple who came back from the examination, let him come here."

The guard retracted his spear, Yi Xiaoyao glared at him, and walked towards the middle-aged man.

"Are you a disciple of the assessment? Why did you come back alone? Where are the others?"

The middle-aged man in black came over and asked Yi Xiaoyao.

Yi Xiaoyao smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm not an assessment disciple, I'm here to find someone."

"Who are you? Who are you looking for here?"

The middle-aged man in black frowned.

"My name is Yi Xiaoyao, and I want to find Senior Lin Jie." Yi Xiaoyao said.

The middle-aged man in black's face froze immediately, and then said with a straight face: "I don't know! Since you are not an assessment disciple, then leave here immediately!"

Yi Xiaoyao was taken aback, Elder Yan told him that Lin Jie was an elder of the Seven Killing Star Palace, an elder-level figure, how could the people in the Seven Killing Star Palace not know him?
And when the middle-aged man in black heard the name Linjie just now, his expression was very strange, he clearly knew the name.

Seeing Yi Xiaoyao standing there frowning, the middle-aged man in black glared and shouted, "Did you hear me! Hurry up!"

Yi Xiaoyao's heart moved, and he shouted to the crowd: "Is Senior Lin Jie there! Who is Senior Lin Jie?"

"Damn things!"

The middle-aged man in black suddenly became furious, yelled and cursed, raised his hand and waved at Yi Xiaoyao.

"stop!"

In the crowd, another man in plain clothes came out and raised his voice to stop the middle-aged man in black.

"Duan Xiu, you are too lenient, aren't you? Do you dare to drive away people who come to me?"

The man with disheveled hair looked at Duan Xiu coldly, and strode over.

Duan Xiu snorted coldly, glanced at Yi Xiaoyao, turned and left.

Yi Xiaoyao sized up the man with disheveled hair, and said, "You are Lin Jie senior?"

"That's right, I'm the only intermediary in the Palace of Seven Killing Stars, who told you to come to me?"

Lin Jie also looked at Yi Xiaoyao.

Yi Xiaoyao took out the black jade ring Yan Lao gave him, and handed it to Lin Jie.

"This is……"

Seeing the black jade ring, Lin Jie first frowned to confirm, and then his expression changed drastically.

He pulled Yi Xiaoyao aside, and asked in a low voice, "Quickly tell me! Who gave this to you?!"

After a while, Lin Jie let out a long sigh when he heard Yi Xiaoyao finished speaking.

"It turns out that Master is still alive and entrusted you to me. Master has not forgotten me, so how can I live up to Master's promise!"

Then, Lin Jie asked Yi Xiaoyao some things about Yan Lao, and Yi Xiaoyao answered them all.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in black, Duan Xiu, who had deliberately made things difficult for Yi Xiaoyao just now, reprimanded the people around him with a displeased face.

Several teenagers and girls were walking past Duan Xiu lightly, as if they were afraid of being discovered by Duan Xiu.

"stop!"

Duan Xiu turned his gaze, looked at the eight boys and girls, glanced at them and said, "Why didn't Qi Shi come back with you?"

These eight boys and girls were exactly the people Yi Xiaoyao met in the forest five days ago.

When they heard Duan Xiu's question, they all lowered their heads nervously.

"I'm asking you something!"

Duan Xiu drank, then looked at one of them, and said, "Yun Qian, tell me."

Yun Qian bit her lip, and cautiously replied in a low voice, "Senior Brother Qi Shi, he... is dead."

"what?!"

Duan Xiu's expression changed suddenly.

Before he could speak, the eight of them quickly described what happened.

"The person who killed my nephew Qi Shi was named Yi Xiaoyao?"

Duan Xiu was so angry that his chest heaved. When he heard the name Yi Xiaoyao, he immediately felt very familiar.

Yun Qian hurriedly said: "Elder Duan, Senior Brother Qi Shi first wanted to lure the demon wolf to kill Yi Xiaoyao, so..."

The other seven immediately held Yun Qian behind her back, not letting her speak further, so as not to provoke the elder to draw his anger on them.

Fortunately, Duan Xiu didn't seem to care about this sentence, but suddenly thought of something.

The young man who came to Linjie before seemed to be called Yi Xiaoyao!

"Lin Jie!"

Duan Xiu angrily walked towards Linjie, his eyes fixed on Yi Xiaoyao beside him.

Yun Qian and the others took advantage of the situation to look over, and all eight of them were shocked.

"Brother Yi, why is he here?!"

"It's over, why did Big Brother Yi come to your door by himself!"

"If I knew it earlier, let's discuss it in advance and say someone else's name."

Lin Jie was talking with Yi Xiaoyao, knowing about his situation with Yan Lao, when he heard the shout, he frowned and looked over.

"Duan Xiu, we don't seem to have anything to talk about, do we?"

"Hmph! I have nothing to say to you, but I have something to say to the kid behind you!"

After Duan Xiu finished speaking, he pointed at Yi Xiaoyao and turned to Yun Qian and the others and asked, "Is this the guy you're talking about, Yi Xiaoyao?"

Yun Qian and the others faltered for a while. If they recognized Yi Xiaoyao, it would be tantamount to killing the savior.

Yi Xiaoyao also saw them, and said in surprise, "Yun Qian? Are you here too?"

Yun Qian and the others smiled wryly, it was really over now.

Duan Xiu gritted his teeth immediately, and said angrily: "You guys know each other, it really is you! Kill my nephew Qi Shi!"

Only then did Yi Xiaoyao come to his senses, remembering Qi Shi who he had killed three days ago, said that his uncle was the Examination Elder of the Seven Killing Star Palace.

He also kept this matter in mind when he came to the Seven Shalls Star Palace, so he has been deliberately paying attention to people with the same surname as Qi Shi.

But no one would have guessed that Duan Xiu and his nephew Qi Shi had different surnames!

And Yi Xiaoyao also made a mistake, that is to tell Duan Xiu his name.

This mistake made Yi Xiaoyao make an enemy right after he came to the Seven Killing Star Palace.
