"Let go of me!"

Xia He glared at Gu Taoist with eyes full of anger.

She suddenly exerted force with her left hand, pushing Gu Taoist away a bit.

However, the more she resisted, the more the sinister fire in Gu Taoist's eyes blazed.

"Beauty, we agreed before, you can't go back on your word now!"

Gu Taoist's hands were extremely dishonest, and Xia He naturally dodged with all her might.

"You, Gu!"

"Stop it at once!"

"Otherwise, I guarantee you'll see Li Chengfeng soon!"

Xia He had a phone in her hand.

Her finger was already hovering over the video call button.

With just a slight movement, the other side could see what's happening here!

"Xia He!"

"You dare to go back on your word, threatening me with Li Chengfeng?"

The sinister fire in Gu Taoist's eyes slightly retreated.

But he was already contemplating how to knock Xia He's phone away in one strike and continue his deed with her.

Xia He sneered coldly and said:

"I've asked you to cripple Zhang Xiaoshan and bring him here."

"If you succeed, I'll let you have your wish."

"Where is he then?"

"Did you kill him, or did something happen?"

Xia He still didn't understand what had happened.

She had been in contact with Gu Taoist all along.

Gu Taoist appeared to be an enlightened high cultivator, but in reality, he was nothing more than a demon.

This time, she had made an agreement with Gu Taoist to capture Zhang Xiaoshan.

But in the end, something went wrong, and not only did Gu Taoist fail to capture Zhang Xiaoshan, he ended up in a sorry state himself.

"Don't mention it!"

On hearing Xia He's words, Gu Taoist immediately felt a bit unlucky.

Xia He became increasingly perplexed and instantly pursued him for answers.

"What happened when you went to capture Zhang Xiaoshan?"

After Xia He's inquiry, Gu Taoist sneered coldly before opening his mouth to speak.

"We all misjudged."

"That boy is not a disciple of Flying Fox Sect Grandmaster Hu Lie at all."

"He is none other than Master Zhang, who recently killed Hongmen Blood Slaughter Master on the South Ocean Public Sea!"

"His status in the Cultivator World is second only to Huaxia Grandmaster Ye Beixiong!"

"He possesses incredibly terrifying skills."

"When we went to deal with him, Liu Chong was killed by him at first glance."

"Even Copper Beggar Wu Simian was easily slain by him."

"By the end, only the Golden Monk Kuduo and I remained standing."

"Had I not sensed something wrong and fled right away, I certainly would have become a dead man now."

As Gu Taoist spoke these words, Xia He's eyes were naturally filled with utter shock!

She could never have dreamed that Zhang Xiaoshan was not only skilled in the Artifact Refining Technique but also possessed incredibly terrifying strength!

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan was none other than the newly hailed Huaxia Grandmaster who recently shocked Huaxia!

"Beauty, it's enough!"

"Now that I've told you everything, come with me once."

As Gu Taoist's voice fell, he pounced on Xia He like a hungry tiger.

Xia He was naturally overwhelmed with fear, and the difference in power between her and Gu Taoist was too great.

Now that she was controlled by Gu Taoist, she had no room to resist.

Just as Xia He thought she would endure a violent storm next.

She was surprised to find that Gu Taoist's form suddenly froze!

Looking closely, she found a red line across Gu Taoist's neck!

Not only on Gu Taoist's neck but even on her own, there was a cold sensation!

Quickly lowering her head, she saw a cyan flying sword hovering in front of her.

Not far from her stood a tall, slender figure dressed in black.

Who else could it be but Zhang Xiaoshan?

Xia He was instantly terrified; she had been skeptical about Gu Taoist's words earlier.

Now she completely believed them!

The renowned Silver Taoist Gu Taoist was instantly killed by Zhang Xiaoshan.

She was utterly devoid of any will to resist, only able to plead for mercy.

"Spare me!"

"Spare me, Master Zhang."

"I have nothing to do with this matter!"

Xia He understood that by no means could she be a match for Zhang Xiaoshan.

If she wanted to live now, she had to beg for mercy.

"Enough."

Zhang Xiaoshan waved his hand, interrupting Xia He.

"I heard your conversation with Silver Taoist just now."

"You've got some nerve to actually incite Silver Taoist to attack me!"

As Zhang Xiaoshan's words fell, Qing Mei flying sword approached Xia He's neck again!

"Spare me! Spare me, Master Zhang!"

"I didn't intend to target Master Zhang, this is a task from my sect."

"Our Xuanqi Sect has a long history, and due to some historical reasons, some of Xuanqi Sect's top Artifact Refining Manuals have been lost."

"These top refining techniques, any one of them is an astounding Artifact Refining mastery."

"For us disciples of Xuanqi Sect traveling outside, the most important task is to seek out these lost Artifact Refining Manuals."

"Previously, seeing Master Zhang's extraordinary refining methods, I suspected that Master Zhang might possess our Xuanqi Sect's Artifact Refining Manuals."

"It's precisely for this reason that I wanted to capture Master Zhang."
