Ma Tao's eyes became more formal when looking at Long Xiangtian. He no longer regarded Long Xiangtian as the kind of young man who could be killed at will.
At the same time, he fell silent again. Before, he only regarded Long Xiangtian as a junior, but now Long Xiangtian suddenly became a person who could stand on equal footing with him or even stronger than him, which made him dare not say anything more.
After all, he couldn't keep Long Xiangtian, and if he said too much, it would probably bring him into great trouble.
Long Xiangtian was surprised to see the general's reaction. He didn't expect that the little snake's subconscious action would give the general such an illusion.
But it’s a good thing this way. I can just do something about the general’s illusion.
"General, it's not quite right to release your domain just because you disagree with someone." Long Xiangtian snorted coldly, murderous aura spreading out.
The murderous aura was the only one that Long Xiangtian could release. After all, he didn't have a domain. If he released his mysterious power and mental power, he would most likely be exposed.
But murderous aura is different. There is no necessary connection between murderous aura and cultivation.
Ma Tao appeared calm on the surface, but a great disturbance had already been set off in his heart. He had not expected that Long Xiangtian would dare to release murderous intent towards him, especially that the murderous intent was so overwhelming.
He was familiar with this kind of murderous aura. It would be impossible to cultivate it without killing hundreds of people with his own hands.
Especially since this man looked gentle as water one second ago and like a god of death the next second. This sudden gap surprised Ma Tao.
"I'm just afraid that the walls may have ears. If I have offended you, I apologize here."
Ma Tao's face was full of apology, as if he had accidentally offended Long Xiangtian just now.
"Walls have ears? Whose ears are there in your general's mansion?" Long Xiangtian asked back, leaving Ma Tao stunned for a moment, and then he could only smile bitterly.
He knew what Long Xiangtian meant. On the surface, Long Xiangtian was asking himself, but in fact, everyone knew it.
In one's own general's mansion, one still needs to be on guard against eavesdroppers. Who would they be? Naturally, it would be the family members of Emperor Dong.
"General, it's nothing to have ears on the other side of the wall. What I'm afraid of is a knife on the other side of the wall."
"When the East Emperor was still around, you could rest assured to be loyal to him. He would not do something like cutting off his own limbs. But are the remnants of the East Emperor worthy of your loyalty now?"
What Long Xiangtian said was a bit unpleasant to the ear. After all, the current general could be considered a remnant of the Eastern Emperor.
As for why Long Xiangtian could tell that the relationship between Emperor Dong’s family and the general was not good, it was quite simple.
After all, if Dongdi's family still trusts the general, why would the general need to do these sneaky things
"So, what do you think I should do next?" Ma Tao's words already had a hint of rebellion.
"Follow me." Long Xiangtian said firmly.
Ma Tao was not at all surprised at what Long Xiangtian said. After all, there was a force behind Long Xiangtian that was eyeing Dongyu.
But Ma Tao didn't want to follow Long Xiangtian. First of all, from his own perspective, he didn't believe that Long Xiangtian could win the final victory in the war for Dongyu.
After all, although he felt that Long Xiangtian was quite capable, in his heart he only thought that Long Xiangtian was slightly stronger than himself. Such strength was not enough to have a decisive impact on the situation in Dongyu.
Secondly, he didn't want to betray Dongdi and Dongdi City. Even though many of Dongdi's former subordinates were interested in his life, he was reluctant to betray Dongdi City.
In the end, Ma Tao still rejected Long Xiangtian and didn't even ask Long Xiangtian why he should join him.
Seeing that Ma Tao was so determined, Long Xiangtian did not try to stop him. He knew that his attempt to stop him was of no use.
Long Xiangtian opened the door and left. The moment he opened the door, Long Xiangtian became as weak and fragile as he was before.
Ma Tao did not stop Long Xiangtian, or he could not stop Long Xiangtian. Not to mention whether he could catch Long Xiangtian, Ma Tao's heart had changed a little at this time, and this change made him unwilling to do anything to Long Xiangtian.
Long Xiangtian left the City Lord's Mansion leisurely, but as soon as he left the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately felt someone following him.
The first thing Long Xiangtian thought of was that the general sent someone to follow him, but later Long Xiangtian rejected this idea because he had no reason to do so.
It's funny that Long Xiangtian and Ma Tao chatted with each other for such a long time but still didn't know each other's names.
Long Xiangtian thought for a moment and figured out who was following him. As long as he thought about who would benefit from following him, he could easily guess who those people were.
The people following him were none other than the remnants of the Eastern Emperor. They must have already noticed that the general was arresting scholars, so they were naturally very interested in this matter.
The previous scholars had all been dealt with by the general, so even if they were interested, there was no way to find them. But now it was different. I was the only one who walked out of there alive, so they naturally wanted to find out something from me.
But who is Long Xiangtian? And now he is silent. It would be a bit strange if they could track him.
Long Xiangtian turned casually and walked into a quiet alley, disappearing into the shadows.
Not far behind him, two people with sharp eyes looked at each other and walked directly into the alley, but after entering, they found that they didn't even see a ghost.
"Damn, where are the people?"
"How should I know? This is clearly a death alley, but that person was able to evade our pursuit silently. It's a bit strange. Go report it to the young master."
When the two men realized that they had lost Long Xiangtian, they left directly without checking too much. However, it was not their fault. The alley was a dead end and could be seen at a glance, so there was no need to check carefully.
But in fact, Long Xiangtian had been standing in front of the two of them, but they seemed to be blind and saw nothing. It was because Long Xiangtian used the "Phantom God Technique".
Although the two were well-trained, their cultivation and spiritual sea were still far behind Long Xiangtian, so it was nothing for them to be confused by Long Xiangtian.
The two of them were just thinking about reporting to the young master, but they didn't expect that there was a weak scholar following them.
The scholar walked as if he was taking a stroll, but even at this speed he never fell behind the two people. But he didn't follow too closely either, and always maintained an optimal safe distance so that the two people didn't feel the slightest bit of abnormality.
