CHAPTER 718: CHAPTER 718: TRASH-TALKING ACTOR

"Right, right, right, he should indeed be executed, come... kill me," Lu Xiao nodded repeatedly at the Seventh Saint Son, even gesturing with his hand for him to make a move.

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words and seeing his actions, the Seventh Saint Son felt a sudden alarm ringing in his heart.

Is he waiting for me to make a move?

Isn’t he afraid that I am at Master Level?

Could it be that he is also at Master Level?

Impossible, in his twenties, how could he possibly achieve Master Level status? That’s simply unreasonable.

Then what is the reason?

The next second, the Seventh Saint Son’s gaze fell on Chen Fei.

Right! Chen Fei!

Chen Fei was brought to the academy by Mai Ganfu and was promoted by him.

There were even rumors that Chen Fei is the illegitimate daughter of Mai Ganfu.

If that’s the case, then everything makes sense.

If I attack Lu Xiao, it’s inevitable that Chen Fei, who is beside him, would get hurt.

If Chen Fei gets injured, Mai Ganfu would then have a reason to act against me.

As a member of the Moss family, he was very aware of the fierce oppression Mai Ganfu had been exerting on the family lately.

He didn’t understand why Mai Ganfu would do such a thing, but given Mai Ganfu’s means, he would not let him off the hook.

Just give that old guy an excuse, and he will surely eradicate me root and branch.

So, I can’t be impulsive.

At the very least, I shouldn’t be the one to take action.

Lu Xiao was becoming impatient at this point; the Seventh Saint Son seemed pretty arrogant just a moment ago, even declaring that Lu Xiao must die today.

How come in just half a minute, there’s already a hint of him backing down?

"Holy Spirit Pavilion members, hear my command, Lu Xiao has committed heinous crimes, murdered the Five Saint Sons, and is unforgivable."

"Get him, dead or alive!" the Seventh Saint Son roared twice, then waved his hand grandly.

At the scene, not a single person moved.

The atmosphere suddenly turned very eerie.

Those who could enter the Holy Spirit Pavilion were no fools; on the contrary, each was a standout among people.

Since Lu Xiao was able to kill the Five Saint Sons, he must be at least Half-step Mentor Level.

Moreover, they had heard that the Five Saint Sons had no chance to even resist when facing Lu Xiao.

Which means, Lu Xiao is at least at the top of the Half-step Mentor Level.

As for them, being Advanced Superpower Users, facing someone at Half-step Mentor Level, they basically only had the role of being beaten.

So, take action my foot.

Besides, you, a Master Level, don’t make a move and you expect us "chickens" to do what? Aren’t you just using us as cannon fodder?

Everyone comes to the Holy Spirit Pavilion aiming for development, for background. As for the dignity and face of the Holy Spirit Pavilion, well, that’s just something people talk about in ordinary times.

Seeing this situation, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He had initially thought those who had been howling just now were loyal followers of the Seventh Saint Son; turns out they’re just a bunch of blustering actors.

In this case, there’s no need to kill them.

After all, who doesn’t spout nonsense sometime, right?

"What are you all waiting for? Get him!"

"Aren’t my orders being followed? I am the Seventh Saint Son of the Holy Spirit Pavilion!"

"Capture Lu Xiao, and there will be a hefty reward!"

The Seventh Saint Son shouted once again.

Still, no one moved, and many even started rolling their eyes and sneering.

If you have the spare time to force us to act, you might as well just do it yourself.

What’s up? You, a Master Level, are afraid too? If you really fear and dread Lu Xiao, it further proves how terrifying Lu Xiao’s strength is, and that makes it even less likely for us to act.

When all is said and done, one’s own life is the most important.

"A bunch of damned fools, the Holy Spirit Pavilion sustains you, and this is how you act?!"

The Seventh Saint Son raged at everyone while quietly calculating how to leave.

Tricking these Holy Spirit Guards into attacking Lu Xiao was practically a no-go, so the only thing to do now was figure out a way to get out.

There’s a pervasive sense of strangeness about today’s events; it might all be a trap set by Mai Ganfu.
