The guards of the crocodile clan still found no trace of Lin San and Batu.
The bald old man, the clan leader, gradually lost his patience and got angry at the guards every day. Once, a guard contradicted him and was killed by the bald old man. Since then, no guard has dared to contradict the bald old man in person.
The guests who came to attend the birthday banquet finally couldn't wait any longer and asked to leave the crocodile clan, but the bald old man refused, and almost started a fight over this.
…
In a gorgeous room.
The Lord of the Black Turtle Tribe sat on a chair and drank tea silently.
"Lord, it's been half a month and the Crocodile Clan still doesn't let us leave. This is... too overbearing," Bai Qing said with a frown.
The Lord smiled: "It seems that the old crocodile really cherished what he lost this time."
Bai Qing opened his mouth, as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong?" The Lord glanced at the white-haired man.
Bai Qing moved forward and whispered: "I heard that what the old crocodile lost was the Lihuo Stone..."
"What," the Lord suddenly stood up from the chair and stared at Bai Qing closely: "Where did you get the news?"
"I heard it from the guards of the crocodile clan," Bai Qing replied: "It should be somewhat true."
The Lord narrowed his eyes: "I really didn't expect that the old crocodile would actually get such a treasure as the Lihuo Stone,"
"Lord, what should we do next," Bai Qing asked.
The Lord thought for a while: "Come with me to see the old crocodile. I want to have a good talk with him." After that, he raised his feet and walked outside.
Bai Qing hurriedly followed.
In half a stick of incense, the Lord arrived at the main hall where the birthday banquet was being held.
"Brother Xuangui," a voice suddenly shouted from the side.
The Lord turned around and was stunned. The person calling him was actually Ao Hai, the leader of the Jiaolong Clan.
Ao Hai wore a silver-white gown today and held a fan in his hand, looking very scholarly.
"Why are you here?" The Lord frowned.
Ao Hai chuckled: "Of course he is the same as Brother Xuangui,"
The Lord twisted his mouth and cursed in his heart: This Ao Hai is really haunting, he will follow him wherever he goes.
"Go and tell your clan leader that we have something to ask for," Ao Hai ordered a guard guarding the door.
The guard nodded, turned around and walked into the hall.
Ao Hai and the Lord stood quietly at the door waiting. Ao Hai originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the Lord's livid face, he swallowed his words.
After a while, the guard ran out and said respectfully to Ao Hai and the Lord: "Our clan leader, please come in,"
The Lord walked into the hall first.
Ao Hai followed up slowly.
Bai Qing and his subordinates who came with Ao Hai stayed outside the door and waited.
…
The main hall is still as magnificent as it was a few days ago.
The bald old man, the leader of the crocodile clan, was sitting on a chair, holding a knife in his hand and secretly dazed.
"Brother Crocodile, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to be looking a little bad," the Lord said in surprise, "Did you encounter something troublesome?"
Ao Hai also said with concern: "Brother Crocodile, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, as long as I can help, I will do it without any hesitation."
The bald old man raised his head and glanced at the Lord and Ao Hai: "Sit down,"
The Lord and Ao Hai were not polite and directly pulled out their chairs and sat opposite the bald old man.
The bald old man sat up straight, put away the knife in his hand, and asked expressionlessly: "I wonder what you two are doing when you come to me today."
Ao Hai smiled: "I came here today to ask Brother Crocodile when he will let us leave."
The Lord sat quietly on the chair and did not speak.
The bald old man frowned: "Just wait a few more days. When I catch the little thief who stole the things, I will send you two away immediately."
"Brother Crocodile, I'm really curious. I wonder what exactly that little thief stole that made you so violent," the Lord suddenly asked.
The bald old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's just an ordinary magic weapon. That magic weapon has been with me for a long time, and I already have feelings for it."
"It shouldn't be an ordinary magic weapon," Ao Hai said with a smile.
"What do you mean by this? Can I still deceive you?" the bald old man's face suddenly darkened.
Ao Ming and the Lord looked at each other, and finally Ao Ming said: "How did I hear that what you lost was a peerless treasure?"
"A peerless treasure," the bald old man's eyebrows suddenly stood up.
"It should be the Lihuo God Stone," Ao Ming said, then stared at the bald old man closely.
The Lord sitting aside also looked at the bald old man.
"Haha..." The bald old man suddenly laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Ao Hai and the Lord were confused by the bald old man's behavior.
It took a long time for the bald old man to stop laughing: "I laughed at you for being stupid. Just believe a rumor outside. What is the Lihuo Stone? It is one of the three major divine objects in the spiritual world. It has disappeared long ago. I How is it possible to get the Lihuo Stone?"
"You really didn't get the Lihuo Stone," the Lord obviously didn't believe what the bald old man said.
"Everything I said is true. If you don't believe it, then there is nothing I can do," the bald old man said calmly.
"Haha... It seems that we really misunderstood. The rumors outside are really rampant now. Well, it's getting late. I should go back," Ao Hai said, stood up and left the hall.
The Lord had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he bowed his hands with the bald old man and walked out of the hall.
After Ao Hai and the Lord left, the bald old man's face suddenly darkened: "Come on,"
Two guards immediately ran in from outside.
"Go and check to see who is spreading rumors. If it is a member of the Crocodile Clan, kill him directly," the bald old man said coldly.
The two guards nodded, turned around and retreated.
…
As soon as the Lord walked out of the hall, he found Ao Hai standing not far away, waving to him. The Lord pondered for a moment and walked over.
"Brother Xuangui, can you lend me a moment to speak," Ao Hai said with a smile.
The Lord nodded.
"I know there is a stone pavilion in front of me. It is very clean there," Ao Hai pointed to the opposite side.
"Lead the way," the Lord said a few words expressionlessly.
Ao Hai smiled, turned around and walked towards the opposite side.
The Lord followed slowly behind.
After a while, Ao Hai and the Lord came to a simple stone pavilion.
The Lord sat on the stone bench and said with a cold attitude: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Ao Hai bent over and sat opposite the Lord, smiling and saying: "Brother Xuangui, up to now, can't you let go of your prejudice against me?"
