Chapter 5573: Lord Wang Teng

"Eight years later? You want me to wait for you for eight years?!" Xiao Qing's face darkened as she glared intently at the City Lord of Kongzuo City.

*Gulp*

The City Lord of Kongzuo City swallowed hard and shook his head repeatedly. "No need, no need! If it's an emergency, I can also notify Lord Gui to come over!"

"If you notify him, how long will it take for him to arrive?" Xiao Qing's expression softened slightly.

"This… at most seven days. He can arrive in seven days," the City Lord of Kongzuo City said seriously.

"Seven days? Very well, I'll give you seven days! After seven days, heh… if I don't see this person, I'll take you back to the Ancient Burial Holy Land to be dealt with," Xiao Qing said indifferently.

"Yes, yes, yes…" The City Lord of Kongzuo City nodded repeatedly.

Afterward, Xiao Qing continued the interrogation. The City Lord of Kongzuo City behaved himself; he told her everything he knew without holding anything back.

As for Xu Rou, Xiao Qing used a Secret Technique again to probe her memories.

Xu Rou hadn't lied; everything she said was true.

Fearing that the City Lord of Kongzuo City might try something, Xiao Qing used Chaos Power to leave a Chaos Sword in his mind.

As long as the City Lord of Kongzuo City acted out of line, Xiao Qing could control this sword to take his life.

In a flash, seven days passed…

For the past seven days, Xiao Qing and Wang Teng had remained in Kongzuo City.

This day was also the final day mentioned by the City Lord of Kongzuo City.

"Hehehe… It's already the last day," Xiao Qing said coldly.

"Rest assured, Milady! Lord Gui usually arrives at night!" the City Lord of Kongzuo City said.

"Night? Fine, then we'll wait until night…" Xiao Qing sneered, not saying much else.

The City Lord of Kongzuo City kept calling him "Lord Gui," which showed how much he feared this person.

Soon, night fell…

A powerful expert with an eerie aura silently slipped into the City Lord's Manor of Kongzuo City.

Sensing the strange aura, Xiao Qing hastily restrained her own.

The other party's aura was very peculiar, something she had never encountered before.

"Come out and see me…"

An eerie voice drifted into the main hall.

Xiao Qing had set up a Formation in this hall, preventing outsiders from probing the situation inside.

"Lady Xiao Qing, Lord Gui has arrived…" the City Lord of Kongzuo City said weakly.

"Hehehe… Good timing. Let's go out," Xiao Qing sneered.

"This… alright." The City Lord of Kongzuo City nodded and went outside with Xiao Qing and Wang Teng.

Outside stood a person dressed in black robes, The Faceless One.

The reason he was called The Faceless One was that he had no facial features—not even eyes or a mouth.

Upon seeing this person, Xiao Qing and Wang Teng were startled.

"Who are they?!" The Faceless One said coldly.

"Lord Gui, they are… they are…"

"Hehehe… You must be Lord Gui? I've heard much about you!" Xiao Qing said with a smile, walking toward The Faceless One step by step.

"What do you want to do?!" The Faceless One snapped angrily.

He felt a faint sense of trepidation from Xiao Qing.

Although Xiao Qing had hidden her Realm, The Faceless One wouldn't mistake this feeling of trepidation.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to pay my respects to you up close, Lord Gui…" Xiao Qing smiled.

"Who on earth are you?!" The Faceless One was infuriated.

"Who am I? Hehehe… Xiao Qing." As Xiao Qing spoke, a cage formed of Chaos Power suddenly appeared, trapping The Faceless One within.

"Xiao Qing? You're Xiao Fan's daughter?!" The Faceless One was shocked.

"Hehehe… That's right," Xiao Qing said indifferently.

"Damn it! City Lord of Kongzuo City! You actually betrayed us!"

"This… I was forced into it…" The City Lord of Kongzuo City looked innocent.

Wang Teng frowned and glared at the City Lord of Kongzuo City.

Seeing this, the City Lord of Kongzuo City immediately changed his tune: "Bah! What do you mean 'betraying you'? I have always been loyal to the Ancient Burial Holy Land! I am loyal to Ancestor Xiao! My previous service to you was only because I had no choice! It was to infiltrate your ranks and gather more information! Do you understand?!"

Hearing this, Wang Teng nodded with satisfaction. "Very good."

"Hehe… Lord Wang Teng, I hope you can put in a few good words for me later." The City Lord of Kongzuo City smiled and bowed to Wang Teng with cupped hands.

"Of course, of course… leave it to me." Wang Teng nodded contentedly.

"Great, great… then I'll be in your hands, Lord Wang."
