Time flies like a white horse, but in the blink of an eye, the maple leaves on the mountain ushered in the third red tide since Mu Zining's cultivation.

Still on the boulder overlooking the mountain plain, Mu Zining put his hands behind his back and looked south.

That's the direction of Qingzhu City.

In the past two years, Mu Zining's appearance has changed a lot, he has grown a lot taller, and his appearance has become more mature, although he is only seven years old, he already has a bit of a juvenile demeanor at first glance.

The young girl with the sword on her back, who no one else could see, stood behind him as always, looking like she was already ten years old.

The maple leaves are red again, and it is also close to the entrance exam of the college.

Similarly, the day when he left Bianping City was approaching.

The day of departure was just three days later.

Although he didn't tell his parents and the rest of the Mu family about it when he made the decision, paper couldn't contain the fire after all, and he couldn't change the fact that he was leaving, and he couldn't keep it hidden.

In fact, as early as a year ago, the old man had already told everyone in the Mu family about this.

After learning about this, everyone reacted differently, some were shocked, some were happy, some were worried, some agreed and some opposed.

Those who agree that Mu Zining is extremely talented, since he has an excellent talent for cultivating immortals, it is naturally good to be able to enter a legendary cultivation holy land such as the academy, and if there are achievements in the future, the Mu family will definitely follow the light, and the future is immeasurable.

And Mu Zining's parents, as the head of the family, the herdsman couple are naturally strongly opposed, and they are not willing to go to study thousands of miles away alone with their young son, who is not more than seven years old, which is naturally normal. In addition, several of Mu Zining's uncles and aunts were also mostly opposed, after all, Mu Zining was too young, and others thought that he would go to the academy to cultivate immortals and have a bright future, but as Mu Zining's elder, what he thought of was that in this chaotic world where demonic disasters were rampant, it must be a thousand difficulties and dangers for young children to leave home alone.

However, Mu Zining has made up his mind, and the old man has already made a decision.

Although the head of the family is a herdsman, the old man is the most authoritative person in the family, and he makes a decision, and others cannot oppose it even if they are unwilling.

Afterwards, Mrs. Mu locked herself in her room and cried for three whole days, her eyes were swollen from crying, but in the end she could only accept it helplessly.

Of course, there are naturally people who are happy that Mu Zining is leaving, after all, if he doesn't leave, then there is almost no suspense about the next head of the family.

Mu Zining naturally didn't care about the position of the head of the family, but he was a little worried that after he left, there might be turmoil in the family without an heir.

Fortunately, the heavens seemed to have sensed it, and not long after the old man announced that he was going to leave a year ago, Madame Mu was pregnant again.

Ten months after she was pregnant, just two months ago, her second son was born.

Mu Zining is still very happy about the fact that he has a younger brother, firstly, it is naturally a good thing to have more flesh and blood relatives, and secondly, he is going to go to the academy to study, the immortal road is long, and it is naturally impossible to stay in the Mu family in the future. As a son of man, he can't be filial piety in front of his parents, and it is inevitable that he regrets that he can do his filial piety to his parents in the future with this younger brother, which can be regarded as making up for it.

The newborn was named Mu Zixi, and he was also a healthy child who had not been infected by demonic energy.

At this time, under the Mu family's generation, under Mu Zining, several uncles also have children, and it can be said that the previous situation of thin people is no longer the same. But fortunately, Mu You, as the head of the family, has a high hope, if his younger brother can fight, he should be able to inherit the position of the head of the family in the future.

You can also rest assured about things at home, and go to the Outland Academy with peace of mind.

Mu Zining thought about it while stretching out his hand at the same time, and his two fingers were clamped in the air.

A faint trace of black gas slowly dissipated between his fingers.

When the Demonic Calamity began, the demonic aura of the Invisible Heavenly Demon Lord enveloped the heavens and hundreds of domains, polluting the continent and creating countless demon puppets, and since then, the air of the entire continent has been filled with a thin demonic aura all the time.

Although this demonic qi is extremely thin and can barely be resisted by ordinary people with strong bodies, those young children and babies with weak physiques will inevitably be invaded by demonic qi, and the consequences will either die young, or be distorted and polluted by demonic qi into something unacceptable, and the baby's mother will also suffer from it.

Listening to Su Zixiu, fortunately, nearly ten years ago, there was a method in the academy, which was created by a rune power, which could use runes to protect the fetus in the womb of pregnant women from demonic qi infection, and spread the runes to the entire continent through the academy's teleportation array, saving countless lives.

Nowadays, in Bianping City, every time a woman becomes pregnant, she will regularly go to the runes in the city to engrave runes to protect the fetus, and the same is true in other places. Similar runes are all over the continent, some are set up by the city officials, and some are founded by local forces themselves, but they are basically inscribed runes for pregnant women for free, after all, reproduction is the foundation of the human race, no matter how harsh the forces are, they have to pay attention to this.

However, despite this, it is inevitable that there will be situations where runes have not been able to shelter, and childbirth is still a risk now. Therefore, in this era, the herdsman family can still prosper, and it can be said that God blesses it.

But in recent years, the concentration of demonic qi in the air did not seem to weaken, but seemed to be increasing, which even Mu Zining had already noticed.

This also made him a little worried, and he didn't know if it was just the area around Bianping City, or the entire continent.

Either way, it's obviously not a good thing.

If you want to say that the people on the mainland who have the deepest understanding of the demon disaster now, it is natural that the academy is at the forefront of the fight against the demon disaster, and I don't know if I can get the answer when I go to the academy this time.

"But ......"

Mu Zining's gaze turned to the direction of Bian Ping City.

"There's a few things to do before we go. ”

The next moment, his figure disappeared in place.

A moment later, outside the city.

Outside the city walls, in a desolate and remote corner.

"How's it going?"

This corner, which was originally rarely visited, now has a few more figures, whispering in the shadows.

"It's already certain. ”

A figure said in a deep voice: "That thing, it's on that kid." ”

And so it was. Another figure snorted, "It's a pity that I knew that I had targeted that kid in the first place and missed a lot of opportunities." ”

"There will be a chance. ”

One of them said in a hoarse voice, "In three days, he will leave the city." ”

"But there will be Su Zixiu by your side. ”

"Gotta find a way to get him away. ”

Just as a few people were discussing, a somewhat immature clear voice suddenly interjected.

"Hi ......"

Several people shook in unison and turned their heads at the same time.

"Are you looking for me?"

A young boy dressed in white who looked no more than seven or eight years old was standing not far away, looking at several people with a smile on his face and greeting them.
