More than a month later.

At this time, it was noon, the scorching sun was overhead, the sky was clear, and there were no clouds.

A forest covering an area of dozens of acres is distributed on both sides of the official road with lush branches and leaves, supporting a shade.

A luxurious carriage towed by two pure white horses stopped at the edge of the woods on the left, and a groom dressed in gray was feeding water and forage to the two white horses.

Around the carriage, there were more than 20 people, standing or sitting, faintly protecting the carriage, their eyes full of vigilance.

Most of the men were covered in blood, but the wounds had been bandaged, and they were sitting on the ground resting in groups of threes and twos, eating dry food.

Under a big tree not far from the carriage, a tall young man in a black shirt was leaning on the trunk of the tree with his hands folded in front of his chest, leaning on the trunk of the tree and closing his eyes to recuperate, carrying two long weapons wrapped in black cloth crossed behind him.

The young man is none other than Shi Mu.

But at this time, his shoulders were empty, and the parrot Cai'er was not by his side.

At this moment, a handsome-looking man in his thirties walked towards Shi Mu from under another tree.

This person was dressed in a moon-white robe, with sword eyebrows, a silver cloth belt wrapped around his forehead, and long blood-colored hair hanging down smoothly, draped behind him very casually, quite a bit of a beautiful man.

"Brother Liu, do you know how far we are from Tianyu City now?" Shi Mu asked when he heard the sound of footsteps, opened his eyes, and asked.

"It's about a month away. ”

The handsome man said, walked to a tree not far from Shi Mu, also leaned against the trunk, and asked:

"By the way, Brother Shi has already had innate cultivation at a young age, and this time he went to Tianyu City, could it be that he went to participate in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, right?"

Brother Liu laughed, there is no such immortal fate in the future. It's just a trip and a long experience. Shi Mu shook his head.

"That Brother Shi seems to be the same as Zaixia, he is here for the Immortal Ascension Auction. "Willow Shore Road.

"Immortal Ascension Auction?" Shi Mu was stunned.

"Oh, doesn't Brother Shi know about this?"

"I want to hear about it. ”

"Actually, it's not a secret. Since each Immortal Ascension Ceremony will gather most of the genius disciples of the entire Dongzhou Continent to participate. In addition, many people came to observe, which naturally created an unprecedented grand occasion of Tianyu Capital once in 30 years. As the first chamber of commerce of the Lushan Dynasty, the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce held a large-scale immortal ascension auction half a year before each immortal ascension conference. It is said that at this auction. As long as you want something, it is possible to buy it inside. There is just one point, this immortal ascension auction does not collect two silver tickets, only spirit stones. The handsome man smiled.

"I see, thank you Brother Liu for telling me. Shi Mu listened to the handsome man's words. There was also some emotion in my heart.

He wanted to ask something more, but just then, there was a commotion on the side of the luxury carriage.

The two of them followed the prestige, only to see that the carriage door had been opened, and a gorgeously dressed twelve or thirteen-year-old boy stepped out of the carriage, and then walked towards Shi Mu and the handsome man with the support of a middle-aged man with a dignified face.

The aura of this majestic middle-aged man is vast, and he is also an innate martial artist, and he is also the leader of this team.

In comparison, the little boy is much weaker and smaller. Not to mention the thin figure, his face is slightly pale, and his expression looks a little shy, but there is a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Shi Mu and the handsome man stood up straight.

"Two righteous men, our Young Master Hong insists on personally thanking the two of you!" The majestic middle-aged man walked to the two Shi Mu and stood still in front of the young man with his arms, and said, his voice was like a bell, full of energy.

Shi Mu and the others were stunned, and couldn't help but glance at the little boy. Speaking of which, this was the first time the two had seen him come up from the carriage.

"A few days ago, the convoy was attacked, and I thank the two ben men for pulling out their swords to help and saving Hong'er's life. Two benefactors. Please bow to Hong'er. The thin little boy insisted on breaking away from the middle-aged man's support and insisted on making a big salute to Shi Mu and the handsome man.

"Whatever Hong Gongzi said, it was also our fate to meet by fate that day. With a slight movement of the handsome man's right hand, he held the thin little boy and smiled slightly.

"It's a gesture. Hong Gongzi doesn't have to be like this. Shi Mu also smiled slightly.

After the thin boy had said two more words of gratitude, his strength seemed to be a little exhausted, so he returned to the carriage again with the support of the majestic middle-aged man.

Seeing this Hong Gongzi, I couldn't help but think of myself when I was a child. After the little boy left, the handsome man muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Shi Mu couldn't help but look him up and down.

He really couldn't connect the personable beautiful man in front of him with the thin little boy who had to be supported when he walked.

Speaking of the encounter with this handsome man and the little boy and others, it was really a coincidence.

Just the day before, as he was passing through a narrow and rugged valley, he encountered the little boy's convoy.

At that time, the convoy was being attacked by more than twenty black-clothed masked people, and among the besiegers, there were four innate powerhouses, and the rest were all above the strength of the late day after tomorrow.

From the words of the middle-aged man's reprimand, it was revealed that they should be people with considerable status in Tianyu City.

But the besieging black-clad and masked men turned a deaf ear and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks, seemingly targeting the wagon.

The majestic middle-aged man and his men fought to the death, and although he was strong, the convoy was still clearly at a disadvantage.

At the moment of crisis, the handsome man appeared out of nowhere, and joined the convoy without saying a word, entangled an innate powerhouse on the other side, and the situation suddenly eased down.

After Shi Mu hesitated slightly, he released Cai'er and joined the battle group with his own sword, and also faced an innate powerhouse on the other side.

With the addition of Shi Mu and the handsome man, the convoy side quickly gained the upper hand, and the masked black-clothed man who attacked finally retreated after dropping several corpses of the acquired martial artists.

Later, the majestic middle-aged man made a request for the handsome man and Shi Mu to escort the convoy to Tianyu City as escorts, and promised a generous reward.

The handsome man said that he happened to be on the same road, and he agreed in one bite, Shi Mu groaned slightly, but he did not refuse.

Since then, Shi Mu has become a member of the team, and then learned that the handsome man's name is Liu An.

At this moment, a noise pulled Shi Mu back from his memories to reality.

He looked up and saw that the convoy had been assembled and ready to start again.

......

A few days later, one night, dark clouds covered the moon, and the heavens and the earth were silent and dark.

The luxurious carriage stopped at the edge of a wilderness, surrounded by a dozen tents of various sizes, surrounded by stars and moons.

At this time, except for the two night watchmen, most of the people in the entire convoy were already asleep.

At this moment, in an inconspicuous tent at the edge of the convoy, Shi Mu turned over and sat up, opened a hole outside the tent, and as soon as his body moved, he silently dived in a certain direction.

A quarter of an hour later, he appeared on the bank of a river.

At this time, the moon rose, and the moonlight shone lightly on Shi Mu's face.

He was like lightning, and quickly searched the bushes around the river, and nothing was out of the ordinary.

Only then did he stand in the open space by the river, his hands pinching the formula, and the words in his mouth.

Ever since the last time he exchanged flowers for Yan Luo's green flower, Yan Luo had been ignoring his call, which made Shi Mu quite depressed.

This time, not long after the spell sounded, a black gas suddenly emerged not far in front of him.

Shi Mu was overjoyed, this was the prelude to Yan Luo's imminent summoning.

It seems that Yan Luo is finally willing to forgive himself.

Soon, a skeleton figure holding a bone spear emerged from the black mist, and as soon as its figure moved, it walked out.

But in the next moment, an unexpected scene happened!

Yan Luo's figure was blurred, and suddenly disappeared in place.

Before Shi Mu could react, a sudden flash of black gas flashed beside the bushes not far away, and Yan Luo appeared out of thin air, and the white light on the bone spear in his hand flowed, turning into a white shadow of a gun, and suddenly pierced somewhere in the bushes.

A silver sword light burst out of the bushes in time, just blocking Yanluo's attack.

"Bang" with a loud bang!

The silver and white lights flashed and extinguished, and Yan Luo's figure paused.

"Brother Shi, it's me!" a familiar voice sounded.

At the same time, a white figure rushed out of the bushes like lightning, and after a few flashes, it arrived not far from Shi Mu.

At this moment, a black gas flashed beside the figure, and a bone-white spear stabbed out with dozens of afterimages, and the sharp sound of breaking the air was like a sharp ghost's shrill laughter, which was terrifying.

The white figure was agile, and after just a few shakes, it avoided all of Yan Luo's attacks, and then the figure was blurred again, and it appeared in front of Shi Mu.

Yan Luo, who had just appeared in shape, had a flash of white light on his body, and he was about to pursue again.

Seeing this, Shi Mu hurriedly issued an order with his divine sense to stop him.

Yan Luo looked at the white figure that stopped in front of Shi Mu, and the soul fire in his eyes flickered for a while, but then his body turned around, and as soon as the black qi around his body was wrapped, he disappeared out of thin air again.

Seeing this, Shi Mu smiled bitterly in his heart, but soon his gaze stayed on Liu An in front of him and said:

"Brother Liu, are you following you?"

"Brother Shi don't misunderstand, he can't sleep the next night, so he comes out to the river to take a turn and breathe. I didn't expect to meet Brother Shi here, I just wanted to come over to say hello, who would have thought that Brother Shi's spirit pet was so powerful, and as soon as he made a move, he almost planted a big heel under him. Liu An shook his head and said.

"I see. Shi Mu said.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that Brother Shi is not only not weak in martial arts cultivation, but also a soul master. Speaking of which, there are also several soul master friends below, and if I have a chance in the future, I can introduce you to each other, and I can exchange a lot of cultivation experiences. As far as I know, soul masters are very rare. Liu An smiled.

"Brother Shi, don't worry, this matter will be kept secret for you in the future. Before Shi Mu could speak, Liu An suddenly blinked at Shi Mu and said in a low voice.

It seemed that Shi Mu did not have the nature of small talk, and Liu An immediately found an excuse and left.

Shi Mu stood in place, looking at Liu An's disappearing back, with a thoughtful look on his face.
