Huo Lian was not here, which still surprised Kui Yong somewhat.
For something this important, Huo Lian should not have been absent.
He had not had time to ask Feng He much. Once he learned that Huang Xiao was nearby, he had hurried off to find him.
It was not that he feared Huo Lian, but the man was deeply calculating.
The fact that he had secretly neutralized most of the Demon Refining Formula back then and escaped from the Land of Slumber was proof enough.
After learning that he had emerged, Huo Lian might well go into hiding, and probably would not let him find him so easily.
Killing Huo Lian then would probably take considerable trouble.
If they were all here this time, he could finish them off in one stroke and avoid further complications afterward.
"I'm not too clear on what Senior Huo has in mind, either, but don't get too pleased with yourselves," Huang Xiao said. "Kui Yong, if Senior Huo could outwit you once back then, he can certainly outwit you again. No, I should say a third time. The second was when he and I plotted together and made you improve my strength. Doesn't that infuriate you?"
Hearing Huang Xiao bring up these matters, Kui Yong's face instantly darkened.
It had been more than twice. Huang Xiao had also tricked him once, consuming so much of his essence blood. He could not speak of that now, and could only swallow the loss in silence.
"Kui Yong, your identity has already been exposed. Who are you putting on that dead man's face for?" Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly said.
"I didn't expect you to see through my identity so quickly. I thought I could keep you in the dark and avoid revealing myself for the time being,"
