His eyes narrowed as the belt’s attributes appeared before his eyes.

[Description: A belt made of rare mithril]
After taking a quick look, he put it back into the space of the immortal destiny seal.
Just as he was about to continue searching for other places, he heard a sound of air breaking behind him.
Immediately, he was alarmed. He turned his feet and moved. A cold light brushed past his face and then hit the stone wall of the demon king’s lair.
Bang–
A muffled sound could be heard. The place where the attack had landed shattered into pieces. Dust flew in the darkness.
Su Yi’s expression was ice-cold as he turned his head around. His eyes stared intently at the person behind him.
That attack was aimed at his head. It was obvious that the other party had wanted to kill him from the start.
The person who had come was naturally that old man surnamed Xu. Since the old man surnamed Xu was able to come here, it was likely that the battle outside had ended.
This old man surnamed Yi looked at him with a cold expression as he said with a cold smile, “hehe, you brat, how dare you do such a thing right under my nose! Hurry up and hand over the items!”
Hearing this, he could not help but be happy. He looked at the other party with a pair of cold eyes. Facing someone who wanted to kill him right from the start, how could he be polite? There was no such thing.
He looked at the old man and said coldly, “sir, you want to kill me the moment you arrived and even want me to hand over items that I found. What is the reason behind this?”
At this moment, other than the old man surnamed Xu, the other old men also slowly entered the cave entrance.
Basically, they all looked like they were watching a good show. They could not wait for the old man surnamed Xu to make a move so that they could test the waters.
They would not make a sound to disturb this good show.
The old man surnamed Xu’s face turned even paler. The old man could feel that behind him, those old fellows were all looking at him with a teasing look, waiting for him to lose face.
In this regard, his palm clenched into a fist, and blue veins popped out. With these old fellows around, he could not directly kill the young man in his eyes. However, he was embarrassed by a young boy, and he was losing face, so he was in a dilemma.
He could not bear it and looked at Su Yi with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
Su Yi sensed the fierce look in the old man’s eyes and immediately shrugged, thinking to himself.
‘Damn, another one wants to kill me.’
He was also very helpless. There were twelve teams and twelve unfathomable old monsters, yet there were at least three of them who wanted to kill him.
How pathetic, how pathetic.
He did not know if it was good or bad for him to follow Ji Tongtian to the Demon Subduing Mountain range.
Of course, most of the cultivators in the Central Plains have heard the name Su Yi, and they also knew why he was famous. However, the other cities outside the Central Plains did not know.
As such, some of the elders in the group had already begun to ask the disciples of their own clans.
“That kid is really bold. He’s still so calm and natural when facing old monster Xu. Do any of you know what kind of person he is?”
The one who spoke was one of the elders in the group. This group came from one of the clans in a second-tier city in the great desolate border region, the Sima clan.
The Sima clan was not only famous within the great desolate region. It was also a huge faction within the central sky region.
Someone from the Sima clan’s group quickly came forward to explain Su Yi’s identity to the old man.
Su Yi’s was famous for what happened during the Tiandao sect competition. It was rumored that he had even obtained the immortal transformation medallion that had not appeared for a thousand years. This caused one’s eyes to turn red.
Hearing the subordinate’s words, the Sima clan’s old man slowly nodded, and his gaze towards Su Yi had a trace of a strange expression. At the same time, some of the unfamiliar clan’s troops also had a trace of a strange expression in their eyes when they looked at Su Yi.
Each of their old eyes were rapidly turning, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Su Yi felt many many of these gazes locking onto him. He did not know what those old fellows were thinking.
However, at this moment, he still had to settle this matter with the old man surnamed Xu.
Currently, the old man Xu was in an even more difficult situation. He revealed an angry expression as he looked at Su Yi. However, he did not have any intention of making a move.
In order not to reveal his strength, he had lost all of his face. Hence, he waved his hand and pointed at a clan elite behind him as he spoke faintly with a slight chill.
“You, go and capture that little brat for me!”
The elite that he was pointing at was at the late stage of the foundation establishment stage. After being called out by the old man, his entire body suddenly erupted. He was about to attack Su Yi.
At this moment, a green-robed Ji Tongtian appeared at the entrance of the cave. A low cry was heard.
“Wait!”
The city lord had arrived late. It was not that he had appeared at this moment on purpose. It was just that Su Yi’s sudden disappearance had caused him to search for a long time.
If it was not for the fact that someone had seen these elders and teams heading this way, he would not have known that a dispute had already occurred here.
Ji Tongtian slowly walked in from the entrance of the cave. He came to the middle of the cave and stood between Su Yi and the elders. After that, he looked at the two of them and asked indifferently, “what happened? Can someone say something that makes sense?”
After looking around, those unfathomable old men looked at him with a teasing expression. No one came out to explain.
Although Ji Tongtian was the city lord, in terms of strength, he was not as terrifying as them. All they did was to give him, the city lord, some face.
However, Ji Tongtian was not stupid. He looked at Su Yi and the old man surnamed Xu. After which, he looked at the demon beast scent that pervaded the entire cave. Immediately, he thought of something.
Immediately, he turned his gaze towards Su Yi and thought to himself.
‘You boy, you did not call me along for such good stuff. Now, you are in trouble.’
When Su Yi caught the city lord’s gaze, the corners of his eyes twitched and he did not say anything else.
The other party’s thoughts were very obvious. This was the consequence of not bringing him along.
However, even though he was thinking to himself, he only saw the corner of Ji Tongtian’s mouth raise. Ji Tongtian could tell that Su Yi was not going to give up his position. He was secretly amused that the old monster could not force Su Yi to step down.
With a solemn expression, he said indifferently, “everyone, we are not here for this small gain. We are here to solve the root of the disaster and save the great desolate from danger.”
“Moreover, young friend Su had crossed the Demon Subduing Mountain range alone. I’m afraid that you all know the situation in the Demon Subduing Mountain. Therefore, let’s put these small matters aside. Consider it as giving face to me.”
Ji Tongtian’s words placed Su Yi in a relatively important position so that no one would find a reason to attack him. At the same time, he would use his identity as the city lord to gain some leverage. After which, he gave the old man a way to back down.
Indeed, after the Xu clan’s old man heard Ji Tongtian’s words, he walked down the stairs and said, “hmph, since City Lord Ji has said so, and since this kid knows about the Demon Subduing Mountain range, I will let him go. However, if he is just exaggerating, and the kid is actually useless, I will definitely take action personally and shatter his immortal destiny seal!”
Then, he shot a cold look at Su Yi, and he waved as a signal to the Xu clan elites to leave.
