Chapter 320: Greedy Xiao Kai

"What exactly happened between Sword Edge City and the Grass Tribe?"

Xiao Kai's thoughts kept turning.

He was ultimately not a person of the Chong Yuan world, so it was impossible for him to know everything about this place.

After rising to a high position, he hadn't argued with anyone in a long time.

Moreover, he knew nothing about this place, so even if he wanted to quote scriptures, he had no means.

Just when Xiao Kai was at a loss, a voice no one had expected sounded nearby.

"Although I have never been to Sheng Cheng, the Savior Heirs are world-renowned; they are certainly not the fame-seekers you, Priest, speak of."

Everyone present originally thought Xiao Kai would step forward to refute the priest.

But no one expected the speaker to be a stranger.

Priest Bai Qi frowned and was about to scold this ignorant brat who dared to refute him.

But Wang Ye stopped him.

"Priest, this person is also a Savior Heir."

Bai Qi's brows furrowed at once.

What on earth has happened in Lu Chui Zhen that it warrants two Savior Heirs coming together?

Bai Qi suppressed his anger and coldly stared at Gu Han.

"I don't know what lofty opinions this Savior Heir has."

Gu Han shook his head.

"I wouldn't call them lofty opinions, but I only know that if you stay here, you'll surely die; only by going to Sheng Cheng can you gain a slim chance of survival."

"Savior Heirs earn the world's respect, and Sheng Cheng's army fights fires everywhere, saving countless lives from the Black Tide."

"If Savior Heirs were the type to profit from others' lives, they would certainly not risk themselves to fight the Black Tide."

"They could simply stay in Sheng Cheng, enjoy the adoration of countless people, and live like immortals!"

"Sheng Cheng has a mature infrastructure to resist the Black Tide; if everyone goes to Sheng Cheng, at most they'd do logistical work, and there's no way they'd be sent to the front lines to die."

"Even if, as Priest Bai Qi said, many Savior Heirs are merely fame-seekers, stepping back ten thousand steps..."

"Even if it were to buy a horse with a thousand gold, Savior Heirs would never let everyone become cannon fodder."

"Therefore, going to Sheng Cheng gives everyone a slim chance of survival; staying here means only a one-in-ten chance."

Listening to Gu Han speak fluently, the old man who had been following him couldn't help but drop his jaw in astonishment.

Just a short while ago, Gu Han didn't even know what a Savior Heir was.

Now, how did he suddenly know everything about Sheng Cheng?

Could it be that Gu Han has been deceiving him all along?

The old man suddenly thought of a possibility.

That the other party had previously pretended to know nothing, merely to test himself?

Thinking this, the old man let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had previously steadfastly stood by the Savior Heir's side.

Otherwise, the Savior Heir would likely have borne a grudge against Lu Chui Zhen!

In the distance, Xiao Kai, who was racking his brains to refute Priest Bai Qi, also wore a look of astonishment.

No way, how could this fellow know about Chong Yuan's affairs?

As far as he knew, the entrance to Chong Yuan had appeared suddenly; even the dean of the Sword Tooth Academy had not predicted its appearance beforehand.

This young man of the Gu Family, even if he had entered Chong Yuan a step earlier, would not have done so by much.

How could he possibly know so much about Chong Yuan and Sheng Cheng?

Their surprise is not without reason, but Gu Han indeed does not know about Sheng Cheng.

But does that affect his ability to make things up?

Since Sheng Cheng can be called a holy city by the world, it must have achieved something for the world.

How could the place everyone longs for be protected by only a handful of Savior Heirs?

Moreover, these Savior Heirs must divert personnel to rescue those afflicted by the Black Tide.

This alone suffices to show that Sheng Cheng definitely has a mature system of its own.

Moreover, Savior Heirs are more likely to be Sheng Cheng's elite forces rather than regular troops.

Savior Heirs exist as saviors in the eyes of the world.

Even if some among them truly regard human lives as trivial, they certainly would not be the majority.

Such beings would not let ordinary people like those in Lu Chui Zhen go to their deaths.

Beside Wang Ye, the three whom Xiao Kai had saved not long ago exchanged glances and then all went to Xiao Kai's side.

"Savior Heir, we previously said that we three would follow your lead."

"If you, Sir, wish to go to Sheng Cheng, we three will follow you."

All three have families.

Under the leadership of the three, their families also hurried forward and surrounded Xiao Kai.

In an instant, over a dozen people surrounded Xiao Kai.

The next moment, the deed of Xiao Kai saving those three spread from their mouths.

"This Savior Heir actually has the ability to resist the Black Tide's aura?"

"If that's true, this Sir, even if not strong, would certainly be able to attain a high position in Sheng Cheng!"

"Even Savior Heirs' resistance to the Black Tide's aura is only slightly stronger than ordinary people's; they cannot completely ignore it."

"If we had such help from Sir in resisting the Black Tide's aura, wouldn't that mean Sheng Cheng truly has hope of resisting the Black Tide?"

Amidst the discussion, more and more people came to Gu Han's side.

Although Xiao Kai, such a Savior Heir, possesses great strength, one person cannot possibly attend to everyone.

In comparison, obviously someone like Gu Han, a Savior Heir capable of purifying Black Tide aura, is more worthy to rely on!

The reason they fear the Black Tide is actually largely because of the Black Tide aura that is hard to resist.

If they could purify the Black Tide aura, relying on forged equipment, resisting ordinary Black Tide monsters would absolutely not be a problem!

The discussion of the crowd fell into Xiao Kai's ears, instantly causing his eyes to narrow.

These outsiders, when they first entered Chong Yuan, would have a barrier to resist the Black Tide aura for them.

But after the barrier time ends, if they are hit by an attack from a Black Tide monster, they will likewise be contaminated with Black Tide aura.

Moreover, these Black Tide auras are hard to dispel; if they accumulate too much, they will likewise face mortal danger.

Once they have been contaminated with a certain amount of Black Tide aura, they must seek an exit to leave the Chong Yuan world.

According to his knowledge, so far no method has been discovered to clear the Black Tide aura.

He never expected that this junior of the Gu Family actually mastered such a means!

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Kai's eyes; he must seize this technique for himself!

If he could have such a means, what worry is there that he cannot reap sufficient profits in this Chong Yuan world?

As long as he can stay in the Chong Yuan world for sufficient time, it is not impossible for him to break through to the late stage of Martial Sovereign.

Moreover, he could even attempt the Martial King realm, which he once dared not even imagine!

Just thinking about this, Xiao Kai felt a faint sense of dark satisfaction rise in his heart.
