I rely on myself

Chapter 684 Worry
Even as Xiu watched the terrifying energy in Lin Yuan slowly subside, she still felt frightened and didn't dare to ask for a long time.

Only after seeing Lin Yuan return to his original appearance did Xiu dare to ask, "Master Lin Yuan, may I ask what happened to you before?"

As a fellow holder of the Eye of God, So Xiu could still feel that Lin Yuan's previous state was caused by the power of the Eye of God. He could even feel that Lin Yuan's power was transmitted along some connection of the Eye of God to a faraway place, but he could not sense where it was.

But even so, it was enough for Xiu to understand the gap between himself and Lin Yuan. It was not just in the level of strength, but even in the skills of using the Eye of God.

Back to the topic, facing Xiu's questioning, Lin Yuan had no intention of hiding anything and directly told him what he had done. After learning what Lin Yuan had done, Xiu once again sincerely felt the gap between them.

After all, guessing is one thing, but actually hearing it is another. Although Xiu already knew from the perception of the Eye of God that there was a huge gap in power between himself and Lin Yuan, it was not as real and shocking as hearing it with one's own ears.

As for the possibility that Lin Yuan was lying, the moment this thought arose in Xiu's heart, he threw it aside. After all, it was too easy to confirm whether this matter was true or not. After all, as long as Hu and Yong's team returned and reported their situation truthfully, they would naturally be able to prove everything.

"Although I know that you are very powerful, Lord Lin Yuan, I never thought that you could reach such an exaggerated level. You should know that we are now in the capital of the Snow Country, which is a thousand miles away from the border where Uchiha Go and his men are. In this case, you can accurately transmit your own strength through the Eye of God and even repel the enemy. I really admire you from the bottom of my heart."

These words were Xiu's sincere feelings, but because of this, Lin Yuan felt very embarrassed. After all, many people like to be praised, and Lin Yuan is no exception. However, being so exaggerated was a bit too much.

However, Lin Yuan could also feel the respect that came from the bottom of Xiu's heart when he said this, so it was difficult for him to stop him for the moment. He could only change the subject immediately after Xiu finished speaking to avoid continuing this embarrassing situation.

"Okay, that's enough about this, let's get back to the topic."

"Ah... yes, Lord Lin Yuan! What are you going to do about the two invaders, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame? If we arrange ordinary troops to track them, then even if we find their traces, it will not be enough to capture them, so I suggest that we specially arrange an elite team to track them, so that..."

Xiu proposed seriously, and it is undeniable that his suggestion took all aspects into consideration and could be said to be the most appropriate method, provided that Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame did not give up the mission.

"Okay, Xiu, you don't have to continue."

Although it dampened his men's enthusiasm somewhat, Lin Yuan still interrupted them directly. Otherwise, if he continued talking, he would be the one who would be most embarrassed in the end.

"Uh... Lord Lin Yuan, did I say something wrong?"

Being suddenly interrupted, Xiu felt uneasy for a moment, not knowing what he had said wrong, but fortunately Lin Yuan did not keep him in suspense and explained to him directly.

"No, your plan is very good and very thoughtful, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the other party must continue to explore the situation in our Snow Country. Unfortunately, the two invaders are very calm and can see the situation clearly, so they are probably retreating to the sea border at full speed. Not to mention that we send people to chase them immediately, I am afraid that even the maritime patrol team will not be able to catch up."

Hideya understood that this was indeed the case, but the reason why he insisted on keeping Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame was, in addition to the reasons he mentioned before, there was actually a more important reason. "If we let them leave like this, then the Uchiha clan's affairs in our Snow Country will be exposed. Let alone the Ninja Village, Konoha will definitely question us, and they might even use force. This is what I am most worried about."

This is the situation that Xiu is most worried about. After all, the Uchiha clan was once a powerful ninja family in Konoha Village, but now they have quietly gone to another country. Whether it is for their own reputation or for the power of the Uchiha family's bloodline limit, Konoha will inevitably take some action.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something must have gone wrong on the night of the genocide five years ago, but the problem was that Konoha had done such a good job of keeping the circumstances of that night secret that not many people knew the details except for some of the participants.

Even if they tell the truth at that time, Konoha might turn against them, relying on its reputation as the leader of the five major ninja villages.

The night of the genocide was the night when the Snow Country sent people to sneak into the Uchiha clan's residence in Konoha Village to sabotage and abduct, which led to the occurrence of the genocide night.

Although it sounds far-fetched and illogical, Konoha might really do this.

After all, compared to Konoha's own deliberate targeting and elimination of the ninja clans with disagreements in the village, because of a moment of carelessness, the enemy country's ninjas sneaked into the village and killed the Uchiha clan, and abducted some of the clan members... It is obvious which of the two has caused a greater blow to the village's reputation.

So even anyone with a discerning eye could see that Konoha was talking nonsense, but at least it could fool most people.

After all, compared to a small country like the Snow Country that almost no one has ever heard of, Konoha, as the leader of the five major ninja villages, has a greater reputation and is more convincing.

It was precisely because of the fear of such consequences that Xiucai was willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to capture the two invaders, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, in order to prevent the news about the Uchiha clan from leaking out.

However, unlike Xiu's worries, even after hearing all this, Lin Yuan's face still looked calm, as if he was completely unaware of how dangerous the situation Xiu described was.

"Lord Lin Yuan?"

"I understand what you mean, Xiu! What you are worried about is indeed very likely to happen. I don't deny that, but you missed one thing."

"???"

"So do we really need to be afraid of Konoha?"

"!!!"
