Chapter 573: Because You Rely on Yourself

Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Because You Rely on Yourself

Situ Xian’s face turned pale and then flushed.

"Hai Fu! Have you lost your mind? Shut your mouth!"

Facing Situ Xian’s terrifying scold, Hai Fu sneered, "Shut up? Don’t worry, once I’m done, I’ll naturally shut up."

"Let me tell you, Situ Xian, I’ve tolerated you, this idiot, for a long time."

"You claim to be Above Half-Immortal, can’t you stop being such a coward?"

"Not just a coward, you’re stupid too."

"You refuse to cooperate with Xuanyuan Tomb, insisting on backing Penglai. Have dogs eaten your brains?"

"Let’s not even discuss whether Royal City combined with Penglai can defeat Xuanyuan Tomb. Even if you do manage to repel Xuanyuan Tomb, what then?"

Situ Xian’s eyes twitched. What then?

After repelling Xuanyuan Tomb? Of course, that would be my cue to take complete control of Royal City.

"Do you really think you can finally become the sole master of Royal City?" Hai Fu’s face showed disdain.

Situ Xian did not answer, but his eyes clearly said: Isn’t it so?

"Look at you, being cautious when you should be and naive enough at other times."

"Did Mei Yue promise that Penglai will not enter Royal City?"

"Even if Mei Yue keeps his word, is Penglai the only power in the Holy Land?"

"Life and Death Valley and Xuankong Cave, will they leave Royal City easily?"

"And there’s Xuanyuan Tomb; Royal City will become their direct target for retaliation."

Hai Fu’s words made Situ Xian fall into a daze too.

It seemed... he did indeed overlook some things.

"Of course, all these are just possibilities..."

"But I believe, these won’t likely happen because today if you side with Penglai, you’re almost certainly going to die." Hai Fu pointed at Situ Xian.

Situ Xian opened his mouth, his expression one of disbelief.

I admit you made some good points earlier, but this part about me dying is a bit far-fetched.

Even with Xuanyuan Panshi around, if I join hands with Mei Yue, he will not have an upper hand, and might even be forced to flee in a sorry state.

Xuanyuan Panshi is strong, but not strong enough to overturn two beings Above Half-Immortal.

"Just by looking at your expression, I know you don’t believe it," Hai Fu rolled his eyes.

Truthfully, Situ Xian has been really good to him over the years.

But on the other hand, Situ Xian is indeed not a wise ruler.

He has the power, but his brain and tactics are far behind.

The key issue is he won’t take advice and always thinks he is unparalleled in intelligence, assuming he has everything under control.

"Lu Xiao..." The next second, Hai Fu suddenly turned to look at Lu Xiao.

"What do you think?"

"Those seven from the Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer, it was you who killed them, right?"

Hai Fu’s question rendered the whole scene silent.

Many looked at Hai Fu as if they were looking at an idiot; listen to what nonsense you’re spouting.

Seven from the Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer were killed by Lu Xiao...

What would Lu Xiao use to kill them?

His sharp tongue, perhaps?

Indeed, if it’s about verbal skills, even the seven from Penglai Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer combined might not outdo Lu Xiao.

As for Lu Xiao, the smile on his face was growing wider, and his gaze towards Hai Fu grew brighter.

Hai Fu’s brain, quite impressive!

Truthfully, he hadn’t noticed it before.

But knowing it now is not too late.

"Why would you think that?" Lu Xiao didn’t say yes or no, but posed a question to Hai Fu instead.

After all, any normal person wouldn’t believe that he, Lu Xiao, could kill seven from the Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer.

"There’s no concrete evidence; I just am certain you’re very smart."

"Since you’re smart, and you haven’t run away by now, it could only mean you have something to rely on."

"I previously thought you were relying on your master, relying on Xuanyuan Tomb; but since you don’t care whether Situ Xian joins forces with Mei Yue, then this reliance must come from you."

Hai Fu’s words were a bit vague, and many dismissed them with disdain.

But to Lu Xiao, that was the true brilliance of Hai Fu.

Seeing the big picture from the small details, deducing conclusions from minor clues logically, a natural strategist.

"So, are you going to stand with me?" Lu Xiao asked with a raised eyebrow.
