Chapter 571: Chapter 571: My Master? He’s Already Dead

Situ Xian paused slightly, then took a deep breath and cupped his hands toward Mei Yue.

"Elder Mei, regarding this matter, personally, I feel..."

As Situ Xian was about to disassociate himself, his words were cut off by a burst of laughter.

The laughter was loud, and it was wildly arrogant.

Everyone turned towards the direction of the laughter.

Lu Xiao!

"Lord City King, why bother being so politely evasive with this Old Man Mei at this point?"

"I think it’s completely unnecessary."

"After all, you’re the one who killed their seven Demi Immortal Realm Ninth Layer masters, right? Now, Penglai Holy Land’s strength is probably not even comparable to our Royal City."

Lu Xiao looked at Situ Xian and said with a chuckling tone.

Situ Xian’s face underwent a drastic change.

"Lu Xiao, don’t falsely accuse me, I didn’t kill them," Situ Xian immediately denied.

This damn Lu Xiao was actually splashing dirty water on him.

It was clear that he was trying to drag him down.

It was clear that he wanted to make him and Mei Yue become enemies and stand in opposition.

"If it wasn’t you who killed them, could it have been me?" Lu Xiao scoffed, "Seven from the Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer, that’s something only someone Above Half-Immortal could achieve, right?"

"Within our Royal City, besides this old man Mei, it’s only you, Lord City King, who is Above Half-Immortal."

"Lord City King, please don’t say that it was Mei Yue who killed them."

"Even a dog wouldn’t believe that."

With Lu Xiao’s words, Situ Xian felt like he was running out of excuses.

Mei Yue was also looking at Situ Xian at this time.

Although it was extremely displeasing to deal with Lu Xiao, what he said was not entirely without reason.

Could an ordinary person silently resolve seven of the Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer in one night?

Within the entire Royal City, probably, only Situ Xian could do this.

"Elder Mei, Lu Xiao is treacherous and cunning. He wants us to fight and kill each other for his benefit."

"If you ask me, those seven Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer from Penglai Holy Land were very likely killed by Xuanyuan Panshi."

"Lu Xiao mentioned before that Xuanyuan Panshi was in the Royal City a few days ago," Situ Xian quickly found a breakthrough.

He had made thorough inquiries into everything about Lu Xiao before.

He even knew exactly what Lu Xiao had said.

Zhai He was killed before, and Lu Xiao had said it was Xuanyuan Panshi’s doing.

"Is your master also in the Royal City?" Mei Yue suddenly looked at Lu Xiao with narrowed eyes.

If Xuanyuan Panshi was indeed in the Royal City, then, most likely, it was this old thing who did it.

With Xuanyuan Panshi’s strength, he could indeed silently kill seven of the Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer.

"No, my master... he’s already dead," Lu Xiao shook his head, even revealing a major bombshell.

Everyone around was stunned, including Mei Yue and Situ Xian.

What? Xuanyuan Panshi is dead?

If it were someone else who said this, certainly no one would believe it.

But who is Lu Xiao? The disciple of Xuanyuan Panshi, the holder of Xuanyuan’s Order.

If he said Xuanyuan Panshi was dead, then the credibility of that statement was high.

"Old Man Mei, why that expression? Didn’t you say my master died?"

"Previously, Mei Jibai mentioned it, saying you asserted my master had already died of old age," Lu Xiao added a couple more sentences.

Mei Yue’s wrinkled old face twitched.

Indeed, he had said such a thing.

But that was also because Xuanyuan Panshi had not appeared for a long time, so he just said it in passing.

"I do have a way to find out whether your master is in the Royal City or not," Mei Yue suddenly sneered.

"Oh, planning to use me to force out my master, huh," Lu Xiao shrugged nonchalantly.

Mei Yue, originally ready to act, suddenly stopped. Was this kid Lu Xiao being too calm?

If something is abnormal, it’s probably a demon at work.

Could it be that Xuanyuan Panshi, that old thief, was nearby?

If he attacked Lu Xiao, then Xuanyuan Panshi would have a reason to act against the entire Penglai.

In the past, it might have been no big deal—fight if you must, the outcome was still uncertain.

But now... the problem was rather significant.

They had lost seven from the Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer just last night.

The peak combat power of Penglai was already less than that of Xuanyuan Tomb.

If a large-scale conflict broke out, the definite loser would be Penglai.

"What, getting cold feet now? You really are like Mei Jibai, a coward through and through," Lu Xiao spoke up again, his provocations unabated.

Many faces began to twitch.

Lu Xiao was really fierce, even daring to insult someone Above Half-Immortal.

"Situ Xian, you... which side are you on?" Mei Yue suddenly turned to Situ Xian and asked.

The scene instantly quieted down.

All eyes were on Situ Xian.

By asking this, Mei Yue was clearly prompting Situ Xian to take a stand.

If Situ Xian sided with Penglai, then Mei Yue would most likely make a move against Lu Xiao right away.
