"There really is someone else!" Huang Xiao and You Lian'er exchanged a glance, each understanding what the other was thinking.
But after the Great Elder's words rang out, they waited a good while without anyone answering or showing themselves.
The Great Elder's expression darkened.
Is there no one? Huang Xiao was taken aback. It seemed he had miscalculated and overthought things.
"Very well, very well. Since none of you will come out, don't blame this old man for bullying the young." The Great Elder laughed heartily.
He was somewhat puzzled himself. Judging by the information he had received, Huang Xiao could not have come here alone.
Several Peerless Realm experts had secretly accompanied the Great Song envoys on this visit to Khitan.
Although outsiders saw Huang Xiao as merely an Arrest Sage and a disciple of Poison God Valley, Zhao Guangyi would probably make sure to protect him this time. Huang Xiao's position as an Arrest Sage carried considerable weight in the Six Gates; at the very least, it kept Zhao Guangyi from losing control of the Six Gates completely.
Thus, there had to be experts secretly protecting Huang Xiao nearby.
Yet no one had appeared after his shout. Had he overthought things? Had those experts failed to anticipate his appearance this time?
Still, he could not be bothered to dwell on it. All he needed to do this time was kill the boy. As for bullying the young with his seniority, what did that matter? Once he killed him, he would be dead. Who would dare argue with him?
So what if it was Poison God Valley? Would they really fall out with the Fang Family over a single disciple? Besides, Poison God Valley was probably in a bad way itself now and would have little attention to spare
