The direction he was retreating to was where the former head of the Mo Family's position used to be, making others think that he intended to continue dealing with the head of the Mo Family.
Under these circumstances, the head of the Mo Family naturally had to avoid it. Of course, this wasn't to avoid Xianyao; it was only to avoid those people's attacks. He didn't want to become a fish in the city.
"Alright, that's enough. Be careful; I'm about to unleash my killer move." Xianyao said with a smile.
When Xianyao spoke these words, no one thought he could do anything and believed it was probably just a scare tactic, wanting to find an opportunity to escape this deadly trap. But soon, they realized something was wrong.
They saw that after speaking, Xianyao suddenly took out several baseball-sized spherical objects from his body and threw them around the room.
What is this
In this moment, almost everyone's minds were filled with such doubts. But soon enough, they knew part of the answer.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"..."
When these spherical objects came into contact with things around them, whether it was the ground, furniture, or people's bodies, they immediately exploded. The power wasn't great; no one would be injured, but after the explosion, large amounts of smoke appeared, and this wasn't ordinary smoke.
"Not good, it's toxic!"
From the moment everyone inhaled the smoke, their bodies felt abnormal. They understood that this smoke was not just smoke but a kind of poisonous mist.
"That's right; it is toxic. Anyone below the level of an Emperor will suffer from diminished strength unless they have an antidote," Xianyao said with a smile.
Everyone's expressions changed. They didn't expect Xianyao to carry such things around, and this poison was clearly not ordinary. Ordinary poisons are difficult for martial artists to effectively deal with, while poisons that cannot be resisted by anyone below the level of an Emperor are even more extraordinary; they're not something money can buy.
Why does he have such a thing
At this time, no one thought much about it. Their first reaction was to hold their breath and exit the range of the poisonous mist, which meant leaving the building.
If they were in an open area, they could easily use true energy to make these poisonous mists stay away from them. But here, the design made it hard for this kind of mist to be expelled short-term; Xianyao seemed to have taken advantage of this characteristic.
And they didn't dare remain in the toxic mist for too long because at that moment, Xianyao said another sentence:
"Moreover, if you inhale it for too long, you'll definitely die!"
This statement made everyone not want to stay inside this room any longer. Even if they were skeptical of what Xianyao was saying, no one would risk their life on a gamble like that.
In fact, Xianyao wasn't lying; if these people stayed here for too long, the result would undoubtedly be death. This type of poison was something he used to protect himself and couldn't be simple.
None of them were at the level of an Emperor, so everyone withdrew out of there. However, they didn't think Xianyao's approach would cause any trouble for them because they could guard the exit; Xianyao wouldn't escape.
The thing that made them feel a bit strange was what Xianyao did after everyone had left—the activation of a mechanism to seal off the entire room.
What is he trying to do Doing this would make it harder for him to escape! Also, how did he know about this mechanism
Everyone's minds were filled with doubts and couldn't fathom what Xianyao was doing. Soon enough, they recalled something.
"Not good; he's waiting for someone to save him. If he can delay time, Miss Mo will definitely discover this situation, then there won’t be any problems for him!" Lin Yi shouted.
That's right; if Xianyao didn't come out of the room and just delayed enough time until Miss Mo arrived, nothing would happen to him.
The only question was, did Xianyao think this way Would he wait for others to save him
He wouldn't because he disliked putting his life in other people's hands, allowing them to decide his fate. Not even Miss Mo; it was purely a dislike of that feeling unless it came down to a do-or-die situation.
In the current situation, it seemed he hadn't been pushed to such an extreme yet. Doing this must have had another purpose!
"Should we attack
"It's useless; we can't destroy this place with our abilities!" said the head of the Mohist family, feeling helpless. At that moment, he had a sense of "lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot."
The thing he wanted to use against others was now hindering himself, and this feeling was quite depressing.
"Sir, what should we do It's not good..." The head of the Mohist family habitually turned to the Divine Calculator for advice, but at that moment, he found the Divine Calculator wasn't there. This situation easily led one to think that the Divine Calculator was still inside.
The Divine Calculator was most famous for his divine calculations, and his strength level was merely human grade, achieved only because of his divination practice; otherwise, he wouldn't have even reached human grade.
Xiaoyao's toxic fog gave higher-ranked individuals time to react; even if they inhaled a little bit, they could still move. However, for those below soldier grade, it was quite difficult, and for human grade, it was even worse.
Therefore, the Divine Calculator, being the only human-grade martial artist at that moment, couldn't leave the room. Meanwhile, others were too busy escaping to care about the Divine Calculator.
In fact, despite the high status of the Divine Calculator in the Mohist family, generally speaking, he was complex towards the head of the Mohist family, and consequently, no one else felt responsible for him. Simply put, even if they remembered him, no one would stop fleeing to save him; not even out of convenience.
This might be the Divine Calculator's misfortune; by emphasizing his uniqueness and keeping a distance from others, he declared that he wouldn't have good relationships with anyone—this is an unchanging principle: gain comes with loss!
As for the head of the Mohist family, he was a big figure who had no time to care about others; this was his habit. Because of this habit, it was impossible for him to think about saving the Divine Calculator at that moment.
The current result is that even if the Divine Calculator wasn't killed by the toxic fog, he might fall into Xiaoyao's hands. In either case, it's not what the head of the Mohist family wants to see.
And soon, things developed in a direction he didn't want to see!
The Divine Calculator was now lying on the ground, calculating whether or not to speak up; if he remained silent, maybe Xiaoyao wouldn't discover him. However, without needing to calculate fate, he knew that his death was certain because the toxic fog would kill people.
As for Xiaoyao, before closing the mechanism, he had checked for anyone inside and naturally knew about the Divine Calculator lying on the ground. But he pretended not to know and observed whether the Divine Calculator would make a sound; if silent, then letting him die wouldn't be an issue.
"Sir Xiaoyao, save me..." The Divine Calculator helplessly shouted out at this moment; when Xiaoyao could pretend not to notice, he couldn't afford it, as pretending could cost his life—nobody would risk their life for a pretense.
"Hmm Divine Calculator, why are you waiting here to die Do you want to make an heroic sacrifice for the Mohist family" Xiaoyao seemed to just have noticed and asked the Divine Calculator.
"Sir Xiaoyao, those who wanted to kill you were the head of the Mohist family, not me. I only read fortunes; don't blame me if there's a problem. Please save my life, and I will thank you." The Divine Calculator was practical, especially when facing matters of life and death; he didn't show arrogance but humility.
It must be said that this Divine Calculator knew the situation well; unlike those fools who threatened people even at their death's door, which would only incite killing intent in others.
However, although the Divine Calculator was sensible, Xiaoyao had no intention of saving him. He just looked at the Divine Calculator and said: "Now calculate if you can survive this time; if correct, I'll save you."
"..." The Divine Calculator fell silent; Xiaoyao's approach was clearly to play with him. If he predicted survival, Xiaoyao would definitely say it was wrong and refuse to help.
On the other hand, if predicting death turned out wrong because Xiaoyao saved him, wouldn't that be counterproductive
To live or to ruin his reputation—only one option could now be chosen!
The Divine Calculator felt it was better to live; after all, even if he ruined his reputation, at least his life would remain. Moreover, the current situation inside wasn't known outside, and nobody knew whether his reputation had been ruined.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you: everyone outside knows about this situation, although they can’t enter, they can see and hear." Xiaoyao reminded him with a smile, looking quite amused.
"What!" The Divine Calculator was at a loss; he acted weak because he thought the matter would remain unknown. Even if it were discovered later, he could simply deny everything since there were no witnesses.
He was certain about this situation because the head of the Mohist family had explained the room's functions to him.
"Impossible! The headmaster said that activating the mechanism would isolate us from the outside world—no one could hear or see us."
Soon, the Divine Calculator understood that Xiaoyao was right; indeed, it could be seen and heard. After the toxic fog dispersed, he saw the head of the Mohist family and others staring at him with unsatisfactory expressions.
What's going on Did the headmaster lie to me Impossible! He always followed my advice; there's no way he would deceive me!
Moreover, this was also done to prevent the Mohist family’s young mistress from seeing it. If she ever found out, activating the mechanism could make her not notice Xiaoyao.
In such circumstances, how could I be deceived There must be something I don't know!
The Divine Calculator looked at Xiaoyao; he knew that Xiaoyao would certainly know the answer. (To be continued) knew!"I see, it was my attachment that caused the misunderstanding. Thank you, sir!" After a moment of silence, he finally realized that as long as they were together for life and she was happy and t...
