Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

At this moment, Feng Baobao also fell silent.

Although she didn't quite understand what Xingliu meant, judging from Xu Xiang's reaction, it seemed to be a bad thing.

So she grabbed Xingliu's hem and innocently asked:

"Don't go, I still have something to ask you. Do you know who I am? Who is your family?"

Xingliu looked at the bewildered girl in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"Although you were created by humans, the one who presided over this ceremony was likely Wugensheng. His purpose was likely to resurrect his wife or children."

He paused, then continued, "In that case, Wugensheng must be your family."

Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao's eyes immediately lit up.

She murmured to herself, "Wugensheng is my family, and I have family too."

However, the Xu father and son were shocked when they heard this.

Of course they knew who Wugensheng was. Back then, the 36 thieves were hunted down, and almost none of them met a good end.

All of this is inextricably linked to Wugensheng; he is practically a ticking time bomb, and whoever touches him will die.

If Feng Baobao truly considers Wugensheng as family, then even they cannot protect her.

So they hurriedly looked at Xingliu, hoping he would deny what he said.

However, by this time, the star had almost disappeared.

In desperation, they disregarded everything else. Xu San directly used his innate ability, telekinesis, to try to stop Xingliu from leaving.

However, the next moment, blood gushed from his mouth and nose.

At the same time, a chilling aura instantly enveloped the entire room.

This aura was cold and bloody, as if it came from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, carrying boundless killing intent.

Everyone present felt short of breath, as if an invisible hand was choking them.

Feng Baobao also sensed this aura, and she subconsciously took out her Okamoto kitchen knife.

But when she realized that the aura belonged to Xingliu, she chuckled and then casually put the cleaver away.

Seeing Feng Baobao's hilarious antics, Xingliu couldn't help but smile slightly on his usually indifferent face.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the chilling aura vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

The Xu family father and son were completely intimidated by Xingliu's strength, and they knew they would never dare to act rashly again.

Otherwise, they might not even be able to save their lives.

Just then, Xingliu suddenly seemed to remember something and walked up to Zhang Chulan.

Before Zhang Chulan could react, he had already pointed a sword finger at Zhang Chulan's brow.

This sudden action nearly scared Zhang Chulan out of his wits, but fortunately, the information in his mind made him realize that Xingliu hadn't attacked him.

Instead, he was being taught the old farmer's skills.

Zhang Chulan looked at Xingliu with some complicated feelings. He recalled Xingliu's unfathomable strength and indifferent attitude just now, and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and curiosity.

He gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and asked, "Brother, may I ask you some questions?"

Xingliu looked at Zhang Chulan with interest: "Oh? What do you want to ask? But I won't answer your question for nothing. You have to offer something in return."

Zhang Chulan thought about what he possessed, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"I can trade you the Golden Light Mantra!"

However, Xingliu refused without even thinking: "Not enough."

This left Zhang Chulan somewhat dumbfounded; he hadn't expected Xingliu to reject him so decisively.

He gritted his teeth and said again, "And lightning magic!"

Thunder magic is one of the unique skills of Longhu Mountain, possessing immense power and unpredictable mysteries.

However, this still didn't help Xingliu: "It's still not enough."

Zhang Chulan was completely at a loss. He felt that he had nothing left that could arouse Xingliu's interest.

Seeing that Xingliu was about to lose patience and leave, Zhang Chulan suddenly pounced on Xingliu, then slid to his knees and slid to Xingliu's side, saying:

"Chu Lan's life has been like walking on thin ice, unsure if he can ever reach the other side. If you will not abandon him, Chu Lan is willing..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xingliu's expression changed.

Do you really think he's never read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Although his strength is enough to withstand any challenge, this is just too ominous.

So he shouted directly at Feng Baobao, "Quickly shut him up! Don't let him say it."

Feng Baobao had a good impression of Xingliu, after all, Xingliu had informed her family.

Upon hearing this, without thinking, she jumped to Zhang Chulan's side and covered his mouth.

Their antics dispelled the tense atmosphere that had just been building.

The Xu father and son looked at the group with complicated expressions. Then Xu Xiang sighed and said to Xu San and Xu Si:

"Let's leave it at that for now, there's nothing I can do about it."

As he spoke, he looked at Xingliu thoughtfully.

According to his son, Xingliu came back with them from the Tianxia Society.

He knew the true nature of the World Society; there was absolutely no one named Xingliu among them.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiang's eyes lit up, and he tentatively said to Xing Liu:

"Young friend, have you just arrived? Do you have a place to stay?"

"You've helped us so much, why don't we show you some hospitality?"

Xingliu looked at Xu Xiang with some surprise.

As expected of the regional head, he's really got some skills.

Based on just a few pieces of information, one can deduce some details about him.

Moreover, Xingliu had just posed a great threat to them, yet they were still so easy to talk to.

He's definitely someone important.

Chapter 213 A small punishment but a big warning

Xingliu has just arrived in this place and has not yet decided where to settle down.

Since someone is so eager to provide services, how could he refuse?

So he sat back down in his chair, looking completely at ease.

Xingliu slowly began to speak: "I do have some things I'd like to ask you."

Seeing this, Xu Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Xingliu is willing to stay, they will have a chance to get him to change his previous statement.

What he fears most is someone like Xingliu, who is indifferent to desires and can leave at any time; they really can't do anything about him then.

Xu Xiang replied sincerely, "Young friend, please ask. As long as it's something I know, I will answer it without reservation."

After a moment's thought, Xingliu raised his question:

"After the spiritual energy revival, didn't the cultivation techniques you practice have the effect of increasing lifespan? I see that your cultivation level is not low, so why did you die of old age?"

Xu Xiang gave a wry smile and sighed, "Young friend, you have a good eye. I am not sick, but my time is up. Although the power of the cultivation technique has greatly increased, it is indeed not able to prolong my life."

He paused for a moment, then added:

"Or rather, it's something I can't do. I think in the whole world, only that Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain has reached that level."

"According to ancient records, most people are still at the stage of refining essence into qi, and some elites can only reach the level of refining qi into spirit. A few people can break through to the realm of refining spirit into emptiness, but no one can touch the level of refining emptiness into the Dao."

"These four stages are merely the process of transcending the mundane. Only by transcending these four stages can one truly break free from the constraints of lifespan."

"Although these breakthroughs will increase my lifespan, it's too little. All of them combined will only extend my life by twenty or thirty years. In addition, I was injured when I was young, which is why I've ended up in this state."

Xingliu nodded upon hearing this.

He understood that the spiritual energy revival had only been going on for a short time, and it hadn't yet reached the stage of a talent explosion.

So he skipped that topic and asked about the 36 thieves.

Xu Xiang's answer was similar to that in the original story, except that more of the pursuers were killed or injured.

This also made the Eight Extraordinary Skills even more sought-after than in the original work.

In just the past few days, even with his reputation for being able to navigate any situation, Zhang Chulan has already encountered numerous attacks.

It's only because Feng Baobao was really capable that Zhang Chulan's body would be rotting by now.

When the gossip got back to him, even Zhang Chulan, with his thick skin, couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and a blush rose on his face.

But he quickly regained his composure and even managed a bright smile in the face of everyone's gaze.

Those present could only roll their eyes at him.

Xingliu then inquired about the Luotian Grand Ceremony and learned that it would be some time before it began.

Xu Xiang took this opportunity to invite Xing Liu to stay at the place he arranged, until the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony began to arrange for them to go together.

Satisfied with Xu Xiang's attitude, he thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, Xingliu gave Xu Xiang a deep look, as if trying to see into his inner world.

Then, he left the place with Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan.

However, after they left, Xu Xiang felt a chill run down his back, and sweat dripped down like cold rain.

His arrangement for Xingliu to live with Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao was actually a deliberate scheme.

In this way, Xingliu, who knows Feng Baobao's background, will not easily leave his sight.

Of course, Xingliu's ability to protect Zhang Chulan was also a consideration for him, but the most crucial thing was that he had to ensure that Xingliu would not reveal Feng Baobao's secret.

Just as Xu Xiang was deep in thought, an unbearable pain surged up like a tide, as if every cell in his body was being mercilessly burned by raging fire.

He wanted to shout, but was horrified to find that he couldn't even make a sound and could only silently endure the endless pain.
