Chapter 171 Unfortunately, time cannot go back
Li Xiao didn't even need to look back. He could tell who the person who suddenly approached him was just by guessing.

Apart from that guy Chen Xuan, who else could come to me the moment I came out of seclusion?

Besides, who in the entire Qi City dares to speak to me like this?

Of course, Chen Xuan's words didn't mean any offense at all, it was just a normal little joke.

From the respect he showed to Li Xiao in the beginning, Chen Xuan has become much more relaxed now that they are familiar with each other.

But even so, few people dared to say this to Li Xiao.

Now, there are almost only two states of mind for everyone facing Li Xiao.

One is worship, the other is fear.

They worship Li Xiao because he is a hero in their hearts, and their lives are almost always saved because of Li Xiao.

Naturally, they admired Li Xiao, a great hero, very much.

And the fear is not because of having something to hide.

As your strength grows, your understanding of the world becomes deeper and deeper.

The deeper you go, the more you realize how insignificant you are, and the more you will be in awe of our strength.

That's why people feel terrified about Li Xiao's unpredictable strength.

"What are you doing following me secretly? Are you trying to attack me?" Li Xiao joked with a smile, as he had just finished his retreat and was in a good mood.

Chen Xuan was speechless. "Who dares to attack you? You'll suppress them with your backhand. I can't say a word."

"There are so many people here, I don't want to lose face."

Li Xiao did not comment on Chen Xuan's response. His eyes were still focused on Yi Xue in front of the sculpture. He asked, "How have things been going during my recent retreat? Has anything big happened?"

Chen Xuan answered honestly about what had happened recently.

"After you went into seclusion, we first arranged for people to transport the bodies of the strange beasts and the beast kings to the city and store them."

"And according to your instructions before you went into seclusion, the rewards and pensions have been distributed. Although I can't personally supervise every payment, I still try to spot check. Basically, no one dares to make any small moves at this juncture."

Chen Xuan paused, glanced at Li Xiao carefully, and continued.

"In addition, the satellite cities that came to our Qi City because of your presence have recently gathered their troops. You have killed all the beast kings except the black bear. The cities they were in before are safer now. They are going to bring back the things they didn't have time to bring back before."

"Then Wang Yang, the mutant who was cured by Lady Yi Xue and then broke through to SS level in our city, petitioned to bring a group of survivors back to his previous city and rebuild it..."

Hearing this, Li Xiao finally turned around.

"Oh? I have some impression of that superpower named Wang Yang. Is he so brave?"

"Black Bear is not dead yet. He is still the strongest among all the beast kings. How dare he go back like this?"

Chen Xuan replied, "Yes, not only that, he said that he volunteered to be our "beacon tower" to warn us. If Wang Yang successfully rebuilds the city, the area we control will be much larger in the future."

Li Xiao nodded.

"We humans have to be like this. In this critical moment, I can't rely on myself alone. We need people to keep working hard. Only then can we return to our previous lives and not struggle on the line between life and death."

Li Xiao patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you can go out and reclaim the lost territory."

"I will always have your back."

Chen Xuan's expression suddenly changed at this moment.

Just now, Li Xiao just casually patted his shoulders twice... He only felt...

It was as if a huge force had hit him. He was holding on so that his body did not shake. If the force had been a little stronger and he had not deliberately defended himself in a fighting posture,

I'm afraid that Li Xiao could easily hammer him into the ground with just a casual slap.

So scary...

It seems that Lord Li Xiao has gained a lot from this retreat...

The already extremely terrifying strength became even more unfathomable at this time.

Could it be that Lord Li Xiao has already touched the threshold of surpassing the strength of an SSS-level psychic... ?
"Oh, by the way, when I was in seclusion before, my subconscious caught a glimpse of a faint energy."

Li Xiao looked around and asked, "Has anyone made a breakthrough recently?"

He was trying to capture the energy movements in the air, but it was of no effect.

He didn't find any overly strong aura. The only powers that could be felt here were those of him, Yi Xue and Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was stunned, "I didn't expect you could feel this."

"Yes, just the day before yesterday, the former Cloud City garrison commander, and now the city lord of our satellite city, Xu Yang, broke through to become an SSS-level psychic."

"Now, we in Qicheng, including you and Lady Yixue, have a total of four SSS-level psychics!"

"Even the previously invincible Star City cannot compare to us in terms of the number of SSS-level psychics!"

When mentioning Xingcheng, Chen Xuan's face and eyes were full of sarcasm.

Haha, what a bunch of clueless guys.

If they had not taken the initiative to drive Lord Li Xiao away, how could Qicheng have taken off?

If Lord Li Xiao was still in Xingcheng, with the addition of Li Xiao and Yi Xue, Xingcheng would have five SSS-level psychics!
Moreover, it was with the help of Lord Li Xiao that Chen Xuan successfully became an SSS-level psychic.

If Lord Li Xiao were still in Star City, he would definitely give this good fortune to other people.

In addition, people from Yuncheng and Fengcheng came here because of the existence of Lord Li Xiao. If Lord Li Xiao was still in Xingcheng, Xu Yang would definitely go to Xingcheng as well.

In that case, the number of SSS-level psychics in Star City would directly reach a terrifying number of seven!
This number is enough to make people feel inexplicably horrified just by hearing it!
Unfortunately, we cannot turn back time.

Xingcheng's original great opportunity was ruined because of Qin Wanxiao's short-sightedness!
How ridiculous.

It’s just a pity, a pity for the millions of people in Star City.

There are many things that they don't have to take on.

As a result, because of the propaganda from the upper class, these ignorant people actually have no judgment and follow the ideas of the upper class. They really think that Lord Li Xiao is guilty of a serious crime.

"Where's the black bear?"

"After escaping from the last war, have you received any news from it these days?"

Li Xiao's question brought Chen Xuan's thoughts back from wandering further and further away.

Chen Xuan shook his head, his tone full of regret.

"I sent dozens of teams to get information, but all came back empty-handed."

"And it's not just the beast king, the black bear. Even the ordinary beasts are like they're hibernating. They're all hiding, and it's hard to see their figures."

"Just in our area, they are really scared by you!"
