C68 The old patriarch who is a man of righteous pride

The little guy was chirping noisily on Qiao Nan's palm, gesticulating nonstop.

"You mean, you're saving someone?" The little mouse could understand Qiao Nan's words, but she could not say it out. It took a long time before Qiao Nan managed to understand it.

Hearing that, the little mouse nodded her head, and looked at Qiao Nan, hoping to help it.

"Little brother, is it convenient?"

A burst of noise came from outside the door. Zhao Gang and his entourage had arrived at the ancient residence.

They found the little white mouse's footprints near the house, and most likely they came in here.

It had to be said that this little mouse was quite clever. It had been surrounded on the east side of the town, and had run all the way to the west side of the town.

Hearing the noise from outside, the little mouse squeaked in fear and kept on sneaking into Qiao Nan's sleeve.

"Don't be afraid, let's go out and take a look." Qiao Nan comforted the little mouse and opened the door.

There were over thirty men standing outside the ancient residence. The torches lit up the place as if it was daytime.

All of them held killing weapons as they nervously watched the youth walk out of the ancient house.

"Sorry to disturb your rest, little brother. I wonder if you saw a little demonic beast run in." Zhao Gang's attitude was very respectful, afraid that he would anger the young man in front of him. Otherwise, his anger was not something that this small town could handle.

"You mean him?"

Qiao Nan spread out his hands, and the little fellow peeked its head out from inside its sleeves and looked outside.

"That's him. I didn't expect him to be caught by little brother. Zhao Gang greets him." Seeing that the little guy had been caught, Zhao Gang was very excited. He hurriedly ordered someone to bring the iron cage over, wanting to lock it up.

The little fellow was so frightened that it used its two little claws to tightly grab onto his clothes.

Qiao Nan lightly patted it, telling it not to worry.

A playful smile hung on his lips as he coldly said: "I didn't seem to say that I would give it to you."

Qiao Nan's tone was very rude. Before he had even spoken, Zhao Gang had already purposefully used words to force him into submission, making it difficult for him to refuse.

However, he wasn't going to take this lying down.

"This Monstrous Beast was caught by us in the first place. Why didn't you hand it over?"

"Kid, don't forget where you are now."

Hearing that Qiao Nan was not willing to hand over the little mouse, all of their faces were gloomy and cold.

"What are you guys doing? Little brother is a guest, how can you point your bows and arrows at him? Don't tell me that if he doesn't hand it over, you're going to shoot him?"

Zhao Gang loudly berated the people behind him, but he quietly stepped back to open up a distance between him and Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan laughed coldly. This was not scolding them at all, but a reminder that if he did not hand over the little fellow, he would be shot into a sieve immediately.

But to use this trick to force himself to submit, wasn't he underestimating him a little too much?

He sneered, "Are you threatening me? "Seems like he's overestimating himself."

Hearing this, the people tightened their bows even more and their bowstrings began to buzz.

With a cruel smile on his face, he said: "Kid, we respect you as our guest and do not wish to fight with you. If you don't hand over the demon beast, hmph, don't blame us for being impolite."

Zhao Gang's face was grave, and his eyes revealed a vicious look as he fiercely said, "Little brother, these are the Profound Breaking Bows. Even with your protective Essence, you can still see through them. I advise you not to take any chances."

The Profound Breaking Bow was a special bow and arrow specially used to destroy the flesh of cultivators. It was an essential killing tool in the army. The Black Armored Army also had this kind of god camp.

However, these bow and arrow were extremely expensive. The strings were made from the tendons of demon beasts, while the arrows were made of special metal. There were mysterious symbols engraved on them, giving them great lethality.

Qiao Nan was familiar with these types of bows and arrows that possessed extreme killing power. From the looks of it, these people only had three of these bows and arrows, so he guessed that they were here to protect the little town.

He would be too naive if he thought that he could threaten Ye Xiao just like that.

He harrumphed coldly in his heart, and a cruel smile appeared on his face. "I'd like to see how you'll pierce through me."

Are we really going to shoot? If they did not die, would there be any trouble?

Hearing this, Zhao Gang's heart jolted and he instantly thought of many possibilities.

He was afraid that if he did not kill him today, there would be endless problems in the future. However, if he just stopped, there was still a chance for him to get better.

"Uncle Gang, give the order."

"Brother Gang, let's turn this reckless brat into a sieve."

"Right, shoot him into a sieve. Let's see if he still dares to be arrogant."

The crowd at the back was excited, demanding Zhao Gang to immediately order the arrows to be shot.

They had been fighting prey for so long, and every time they met a demon beast, they would always use the Profound Breaking Bow to test their luck. Could this young man be stronger than a demon beast in terms of physical strength?

When they thought about this, they looked at Qiao Nan again. Their previous fear had disappeared, and they felt as if they were looking at a dead man.

"What? Are you afraid?" Qiao Nan looked at the hesitant Zhao Gang with a smile and a tone full of playfulness.

This smile caused Zhao Gang to feel uneasy. Could it be that he had a way to hide?

Impossible, this brat is so young, at most he's a human warrior, I can definitely kill him.

Thinking of this, he forced himself to calm down. His expression was grave and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Zhao Gang act like this, the people behind tightened their bows even more. The faint sounds of the longbow being unable to endure could be heard. It was evident how terrifying their accumulated strength was.

"Stop! All of you, stop! Quickly put down your bows and arrows! Do not disturb our guests!"

An old man with a cane was walking over from afar.

"Old Patriarch, if he doesn't hand over the demon beast, he can only kill him."

When Zhao Gang saw who it was, it turned out to be the old chief.

Even when he heard the old man say that he would put down the bow, he was still determined to do it.

If the youth were to suddenly make a move, wouldn't they all die without a doubt?

"Old chief, we are also unwilling to use force. This person doesn't know what's good for him, so don't blame us for being heartless."

"Nine is right, don't blame us for this."

At this moment, his arrow was already on the bowstring. As long as he shot it out, he would definitely be able to kill the young man.

"You, alas!" The old Patriarch sighed deeply, came to Qiao Nan, and blamed himself: "As expected of the Patriarch, I can't even move these people, I can't even protect the clan's guests."

"Patriarch, you should withdraw first, so as to not splash blood all over your body."

"Old chief, you don't need to worry about this matter. Go and rest."

The clan leader was so angry that his crutches went straight to the ground, his beard was about to fly off. He angrily said: "With this old man here today, no one can think of harming a single hair on his head."

"Old Patriarch, are you sure?" Zhao Gang's face turned serious and he was slightly furious.

"Seriously!"

"For the future of our clan, no matter who it is, don't even think of stopping them. Prepare to shoot."

Zhao Gang's face was fierce and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

The Old Patriarch's face was calm as he stood in front of Qiao Nan, looking like he would die without any regrets.

whoosh *

An arrow pierced through the air and shot towards the old chief.

"Chief!" The group of people shouted loudly, especially the one at the back. His face was deathly pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He didn't expect that he would miss the opportunity to shoot the arrow.
