Xie Xu finally felt fear!
Xie Feng chuckled and loosened his grip on Xie Feng's neck slightly.
"I like smart people, especially those who know how to adapt to circumstances. I think Elder Xie Xu, you belong to that kind of smart person I'm talking about... you know how to adapt to circumstances, Elder, what do you say?"
Xie Feng put his hands behind his back, circled around him, and began his psychological warfare!
Xie Xu was worried about being attacked from behind, so he was on edge. He lowered his head, his eyes darting around as he thought rapidly.
He stared wide-eyed, his face expressionless, and asked, "What does that mean?"
"Haven't I made it obvious enough?"
"I..."
Xie Xu broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, Xie Hun stepped forward and said with a friendly smile, "Uncle-Master, I really didn't expect to meet you in this way today. You are my mother's fellow disciple, which is why I call you Uncle-Master. Do you still remember me?"
Xie Xu glanced at him and said in a low voice, "The famous Young Master Hun, my senior sister's only son, who doesn't know him?"
In the Chaos Lineage, because Xie Hun's mother, Xie Feiying, died early and was the younger sister of Xie Tu and others, many people felt sorry for Xie Hun because of her.
Furthermore, because Xie Hun possessed strong talent and high cultivation, his reputation in the Land of Chaos was comparable to that of Xie Ling, Xie Yun, and others.
He also participated in the struggle for the branch family headship back then.
Ultimately, however, he was no match for Xie Ling.
After all, Xie Ling's talent is unparalleled, appearing only once in a millennium!
Xie Hun shook his head, feigning a sigh, "It's enough that you remember me. Alas, I've sighed countless times for people like you..."
What are you sighing about?
Xie Xu frowned, somewhat unsure of what he was trying to say.
"A senior with such experience and strength should not be the vanguard, doing such a thankless task! Think about it, Xie Han asked you to kill Xie Feng, but who is Xie Feng? Not to mention that he is the son of the former patriarch Xie Yunhao, just look at the two Heavenly Emperor behind him, they are not people that ordinary people can afford to offend."
"Doesn't Xie Han understand this principle? He clearly knows that Long Cangxue and Mu Bingxing are two lunatics, yet he still sent you here to be the one to stick your neck out. I even have reason to suspect that you are nothing more than a pawn in his heart!"
"Otherwise... he clearly has ten adopted sons, no, I misspoke, there are nine now. They are all at the Half-Step Heavenly Emperor level, just like you. If there are nine of them, why didn't he just send a few at random, but instead chose to send you? Doesn't this prove one thing? In his heart, your status as an old minister is even lower than those few sycophantic adopted sons!"
Xie Hun's words Heart Slaying!
Xie Xu's breathing became rapid. He thought about it carefully, and realized, "Yes, that makes sense!"
The other party clearly has nine adopted sons, but they are unwilling to send any of them out. Instead, they specifically sought him out to make him a sword to kill!
This is clearly a sign that they don't take him seriously!
It's obvious that it's a handy weapon, which is why you can just pick it up and use it!
Thinking about Xie Han's two-faced nature—his sweet words masking his true intentions—he felt a chill run down his spine.
Xie Xu lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing that he was moved, Xie Hun raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that there was hope.
He reached out and placed his hand on Xie Xu's shoulder, a gentle energy swirling around his fingers.
He used his energy to heal Xie Xu's injuries!
" Young Master Hun..."
Xie Xu was startled, feeling a touch of emotion as he sensed the gentle healing energy emanating from it.
Although he was an elder with a high status, he lived a lonely life. After the death of his beloved, he closed his heart to love and never had any children. He also rarely felt warmth.
Now, someone is willing to take the initiative to heal his wounds; how could he not be moved!
Xie Hun coughed slightly and said, "I was rude just now and struck you with my palm. I feel very guilty!"
Xie Xu turned his head and looked at his severed arm, which was bleeding profusely.
Upon seeing this, Xie Feng's mind stirred, and from a distance, his severed arm flew over automatically.
Xie Feng pushed out with his palm, and the Chaos Power spread, actually setting his severed arm back together!
Xie Xu was even more shocked!
Xie Feng said, "Elder Xie Xu, I apologize for my rudeness earlier."
"What... what are you all up to? Why are you suddenly being so nice to me? You must have ulterior motives. I knew it! You're still wary of my identity!"
Xie Xu gritted his teeth and glared at Xie Feng.
Xie Feng said, "If I were afraid of your status, I wouldn't have severed your arm just now. Besides, Xie Hun just said that I have two powerful backers. Even if I killed you with one sword right now, would the head of the Tenth Universe or Xie Han dare to utter a sound? If they dare to kill me personally, my backers might kill them first."
Xie Xu Wordless!
"Then why are you so good to me?"
"I just think you're not as annoying as Xie Han."
"If you don't kill me, what do you want me to do?"
Xie Xu's eyes darted around twice before he spoke.
Xie Feng smiled slightly; after much maneuvering, he had finally heard those words!
Judging from the current situation, Xie Xu has come to realize some of the truth and become somewhat confused after that round of carrot and stick tactics. In short, there is a very good chance of turning him to his side!
Xie Feng said, "I don't have any grand requests. I just want you, Elder, to return to the Land of Chaos and act as an inside agent."
What should I do?
"If you discover that Xie Tu or Xie Han harbor any ill intentions towards me, report it to me immediately. You are a close confidant of Xie Han; obtaining such information should be a piece of cake for you!"
Xie Feng said.
Xie Xu lowered his head, took a deep breath, and realized that when you're under someone's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head!
and...
He had indeed long harbored resentment towards Xie Han's domineering and arrogant attitude!
"Fine, if you let me go, I can agree to be your mole."
"That's easy. Come, Elder Xie Xu, please rise!"
Xie Feng flicked his sleeves and smiled at everyone.
Xie Xu stood up, straightened his clothes, and his back, which had been hunched over, finally straightened up again.
"I have another question. I'm willing to be an inside man, but Xie Han is cunning and shrewd. If he discovers anything I'm doing and tries to kill me, how can I protect myself?"
Xie Han's concerns are not without merit!
Trying to find out things from Xie Han, a man who could go crazy at any moment, was like walking on thin ice, with life and death hanging in the balance!
Xie Feng thought for a moment and handed him one of his communication talismans, "Here's what we'll do, you can keep this talisman for now. If you encounter any danger in the future, use it to contact me, and I'll send someone to rescue you."
Is this really true?
Xie Xu was skeptical.
He knew that Xie Feng had powerful backers, and if the communication talisman really had the ability to save his life in that critical moment, that would be the best outcome.
However, he was somewhat hesitant to trust Xie Feng!
After all, there was no trustworthy evidence between them.
