The thin old monk looked at the masked man indifferently, and when he noticed the masked man's gray eyes, he couldn't help but smile.

"The old monk had no intention of offending. The thin old monk spoke, and then withdrew his palm.

The masked man didn't make a move on the thin old monk again, but the eyes that looked at the thin old monk were still a little jealous, and the masked man had already sensed the power of the thin old monk in the very short contact just now.

"Amitabha, this Xu Shizhu has the power in my Buddha Kingdom Demon Suppression Tower, this is a bad omen, the old monk just wants to confirm that since Xu Shizhu has entered the Chen family, then it is good to do it yourself. The thin old monk folded his hands and said.

The masked man said lightly: "Don't work monk, you bother." ”

The thin old monk glanced at Xu Xiao deeply, grinned, and disappeared in front of Xu Xiao and the masked man when he turned around.

The masked man turned to look at Xu Xiao, his eyes were extremely indifferent, as if he was looking at an insignificant person, Xu Xiao could even see a hint of rejection in his eyes.

However, Xu Xiao still thanked him: "Thank you, Your Excellency." ”

Xu Xiao could see that this masked man should not be very old, so he didn't call him a senior, and calling him Your Excellency was respectful.

"The people of Buddhism have taken root in my northern land, and it is thanks to you who are in charge of the sect that you can think of such stupid things. The masked man said in a cold voice.

Xu Xiao slandered in his heart, it was not his Xu Xiao's idea to build a temple for Miaokong, it was the idea of Xuanyue Zhangjiao, what did you tell me to do?

"I warn you, the people of the Buddhist sect should not have too much contact, since you have promised to join my Chen family, you must consider the Chen family first in everything, can you understand?" said the masked man quite sternly.

Xu Xiao pursed his lips, his expression became casual, and he said lightly: "Although I promised to go to the Chen family, I am not a puppet of the Chen family, and I have my own judgment on how I act, and I don't need others to point fingers." ”

The masked man laughed, didn't talk nonsense with Xu Xiaoduo, turned around and left.

Xu Xiao looked coldly at the departing figure of the masked man, as if a big stone was pressed in his heart, this time the incident made Xu Xiao realize that something was wrong, his situation might not be too good, the Chen family was monitoring him, and the Buddha also noticed himself, he was caught between these two behemoths, once something happened, he was afraid that he would die ugly.

In the final analysis, its own strength is too weak, and there is no strong enough backstage, so it feels really uncomfortable to be caught in the middle and at the mercy of others.

But after all, this is the northern country, and the Chen family is the most powerful, and if the Buddhists want to stretch their hands and feet to the northern land to control themselves, it is still unlikely, and the Chen family, as the first snake in the northern country, will not agree.

Moreover, the power of Buddhism in the north has only just started, and judging from the current situation, it is impossible for Buddhism to make achievements in the north without a few hundred years.

What's more, the Chen family hasn't really made a move yet, once the Chen family can't see it, they can strangle the little flame that the Buddha Gate has just ignited by making a direct move.

Xu Xiao turned his head and glanced at Miaokong, who was kneeling in the Buddha hall, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Buddhism sent this guy over, I'm afraid he was really determined to lay a nail in the north, if Miaokong has been alive, maybe in the future in the north, he can really see the growth of Buddhism.

It's just that for Xu Xiao, whether it is the Chen family or Buddhism, they are all goals he has to deal with, in this era, Xu Xiao will not believe in anyone, only in himself.

···

It has been half a month since Xuanyue took a group of masters to destroy the Lin family, but he has not been able to completely defeat the Lin family.

The Lin family had already expected that the Xuanyue Sect would personally deal with them, so they had already broken the forces within the clan into zero before the Xuanyue Sect made a move, scattered all over Hanzhou, and some had even quietly gone to Shuangzhou.

After Xuanyue went to the Lin family, he only saw a person going to the empty ancestral house of the Lin family, and then traveled all over the country to pursue the people of the Lin family, but the effect was not great.

In the end, Xuanyue Sect Master made an extremely decisive and bold decision and directly led people into the land of Frost State.

At the same time, the masters of Hanzhou, who had long been dormant in the territory of Shuangzhou, also took advantage of this opportunity to attack and directly attacked the respective base camps of the five great families.

Before the war between the two states, Xuanyue Sect and Xuemei Sect had continuously sent masters into the territory of Frost State, although some of them were discovered by the Royal Beast Family and suffered, but after all, there was still a group of people who successfully lurked, waiting for the time to come.

Now that the Xuanyue Sect has personally entered the Frost Prefecture, these masters naturally took advantage of the situation and responded to the Xuanyue Sect.

In order to take Hanzhou as soon as possible, the five great families almost poured out of the nest, so that the five great families' own base camp barely had much strength left, and it was easily broken by Xuanyue Zhangjiao and others.

The situation changed suddenly, originally Hanzhou was already under great pressure in order to resist the invasion of the Royal Beast Family, and was killed in the hinterland, but now the nest of the Shuangzhou family has been occupied by the Xuanyue Sect, which can really be described as a fire in the backyard.

But even so, the offensive of the Royal Beast Family did not slow down in the slightest, but became more fierce than before, the situation in Hanzhou plummeted, and the Xuemei Sect Master was besieged by the masters of the five major families such as Nangong Jing and Huo Tianjue, and several Divine Vein Realm Demon Beasts were dispatched, which severely damaged the Xuemei Sect Master, and the number of casualties in the two sects was even greater.

The determination of the five masters has been reflected, and they also expected the situation of a fire in the backyard, so when this situation appears, they will take Hanzhou desperately and completely uproot the foundation of the Xuanyue Sect and the Xuemei Sect, so that even if the base camp of the five great families is temporarily broken by the Xuanyue Sect, it will not hurt, once the Xuanyue Sect and the Xuemei Sect are destroyed, then the Xuanyue Sect and others will also become lonely ghosts, and they will have no place to stand, and they will be suppressed by the five great families after all.

At this moment, the outcome of this battle between the two states has become clear, and the Royal Beast Family has driven straight into it with the help of the Lin family, and it has already reached the sphere of influence of the Xuanyue Sect and the Xuemei Sect, and the other large and small forces in Hanzhou have already succumbed to the Royal Beast Family.

For a while, the Xuanyue Sect and the Xuemei Sect were all in a panic, no one expected that the situation would become so fast, and they didn't expect that the Imperial Beast Family would completely ignore the mess in their own rear, and they were determined to take Hanzhou.

At the moment, even if the Xuanyue Sect wants to rush back to the rescue, it is not possible for the distant water to save the near fire, unless the two sects can support the offensive of the Royal Beast Family, and wait until the Xuanyue Sect completely destroys the Frost Prefecture, or until the Xuanyue Sect rushes back.

In the Xuanyue Sect, the deputy head of the sect Zhang Qian and Miao Zhengfeng had already returned, both of them were injured, but they didn't have time to recuperate, so they left with a group of Xuanyue masters after a short rest.

This time, there was already a group of inner disciples who followed, and this battle has been fought until now, and anyone's strength must be used.

Xu Xiao was standing with a large group of inner disciples at this moment, everyone's face was worried, although they were not sent to the outside of the sect to meet the enemy for the time being, but if the situation continued to deteriorate, I am afraid that the whole sect would really have to fight to the death.

It's just that for Xu Xiao, this may be a great opportunity for him. On an ice field five hundred miles away from the mountain gate of Xuanyue Sect, everyone from the Royal Beast Family and the masters of Xuanyue Sect fought a bloody battle here, and the entire ice field was already stained red with blood, and the corpses of demon beasts and warriors could be seen everywhere.

Miao Zhengfeng and Zhang Qian stood side by side, followed by more than thirty Xuanyue Sect elders, each of whom was a master who had reached the fifth level or above of the Yunling Spirit, and even several powerhouses in the realm of the divine vein.

However, even with such a lineup, it was still a little unsupportable in the face of the fierce attack of the Royal Beast Family, and the disciples brought out were almost completely killed and injured, and the elders also lost dozens of them one after another in two days.

Although the Imperial Beast Family also divided half of its strength to attack the Xuemei Sect, there were still too many Frost Prefecture warriors left here, especially the number of demon beasts they drove was even more amazing.

Miao Zhengfeng gasped extremely hard, his face was also white and terrifying, he was slapped by the master of the Royal Beast Family in the battle not long ago, and the injury has not healed, and then the successive battles have made Miao Zhengfeng's visceral injuries deteriorate a little, even if there is the power of the elixir to suppress the injury, but if it continues, it will eventually lead to a complete outbreak of the injury.

Zhang Qian looked at Miao Zhengfeng with some concern, and persuaded him: "Miao Lao should go back to Xuanyue Sect to recuperate first, and leave this place to me." ”

Miao Zhengfeng shook his head again and again, and said in a deep voice: "If I leave now, you will definitely not be able to stop the thieves in Shuangzhou, you can rest assured, my body and bones can last for a while." ”

Zhang Qian frowned, and looked at the other people of the Xuanyue Sect around him, except for the elders who were quite calm, those surviving disciples were all colorless, and their eyes were blank.

"It's not okay to go on like this, let the sect send someone over to support. Zhang Qian said.

Miao Zhengfeng didn't speak, but he also acquiesced to Zhang Gan's approach, with their current manpower, it was almost impossible to resist the attack of the Shuangzhou family.

But at present, the masters in the sect are almost dispatched, even if they send people over, they can only send some disciples with insufficient strength, even if these disciples get here, it is estimated that they will not have much effect, and it is more likely that they will lose their lives in vain.

Even so, Zhang Qian still had to ask the sect to send people over, even if it was some disciples who didn't have much effect, they could slightly block the pace of everyone in Shuangzhou.

As long as it drags on for a longer time, the greater the chance of victory for their two sects in Hanzhou, after all, at present, Shuangzhou is also a fire in the backyard, and Xuanyue Zhangjiao led people to kill a river of blood there, the reason why the Shuangzhou family attacked them so desperately was because they were also in a hurry, if they didn't take Hanzhou as soon as possible, the situation of the Shuangzhou family would be even more embarrassing.

When Zhang Qian sent the news of the request for help back to the Xuanyue Sect, the elders who remained in the Xuanyue Sect gathered for a short discussion and decided to send the inner disciples, led by ten elders, to help in the battle.

Soon, a hundred inner disciples were selected, and there was no Xu Xiao among them.

Just when the ten elders were about to leave the Xuanyue Sect with these hundred inner disciples, Xu Xiao stopped the group and asked to go with them.

A white-clothed old man at the head frowned, and said, "You are the most outstanding disciple of my Xuanyue Sect, and you also have the inheritance of my Xuanyue Ancestor, and now is not the time for you to work hard for my Xuanyue Sect." ”

Xu Xiao clenched his fists and said: "If there is no sect, how can I Xu Xiao?" Now is the moment when everyone in my Xuanyue Sect is fighting, I Xu Xiao should move forward bravely, how can I shrink in the sect and watch my fellow sects die?"

The righteousness of these words was awe-inspiring, and the inner disciples present were all moved, and they all admired Xu Xiao's righteousness.

However, several elders were a little helpless, they were repeatedly told by Xuanyue Sect Leader before leaving, and the two deputy sect masters also mentioned many times that Xu Xiao should not be allowed to fight, so Xu Xiao was not counted in the two inner disciples, because they didn't want Xu Xiao to risk their lives.

But now Xu Xiao wants to fight so much, and he also puts on such a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, which makes several elders a little embarrassed.

"The war is dangerous, you really don't need to go, the current situation my Xuanyue Sect can still support it. Another elder spoke, still disagreeing to let Xu Xiao go with him.

"Yes, if anything happens to you, the master will definitely not spare me when he comes back. The white-clothed elder nodded and said.

Seeing this, Xu Xiao's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said: "The disciple has the demon seal of Huojiazhen in his hand, if he goes to a critical place in the war, he can help the master of the sect to subdue the demon beasts of the people of Shuangzhou." ”

As soon as these words came out, several elders were stunned.

They naturally all know about the Demon Seal, and the fact that Xu Xiao has a Demon Seal is also known to everyone in the entire Xuanyue Sect, but no one has ever thought of this before, and now that Xu Xiao mentioned it himself, everyone woke up like a dream.

The Demon Seal is indeed a treasure, especially in dealing with demon beasts, it has a miraculous effect, if there is a Demon Seal to help, then the war ahead will definitely be able to help.

It's just that it is not appropriate to let Xu Xiao take the Demon Suppression Seal to participate in the war.

"Xu Xiao, it's better to do this, you give the demon seal to the old man, and when the old man returns, he will return the demon seal to you. The old man in white proposed, still trying to dispel Xu Xiao's thoughts.

Xu Xiao's expression was firm: "The disciple has made up his mind, and he wants to do his part for the sect." ”

Several elders looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and many inner disciples present also spoke one after another, asking the elders to agree to Xu Xiao's accompaniment.

After some hard work, several elders finally agreed to let Xu Xiao go with him, but they also told Xu Xiao not to act without authorization, and to stay with everyone.

Xu Xiao just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to leave the Xuanyue Sect, so he naturally agreed repeatedly, and then the group did not delay any longer, and ran directly to the ice field battlefield five hundred miles away.

And after Xu Xiao left the Xuanyue Sect with everyone, the masked man who had been staying by Chen Yao'er's side also quietly followed, not only him, but also a Buddhist master who also secretly followed and left the Xuanyue Sect.

For these two people who are secretly following, Xu Xiao already knows through the little turtle, and there is not much surprise, but he is now being targeted by the Chen family and Buddhism, and it is strange that these two parties do not send people to follow him secretly.

The journey of five hundred miles is not far, and the group of people hurried day and night, wanting to rush to the ice field battlefield as soon as possible, for fear that it would change later.

But on the night of the sixth day, an accident happened.

When the Xuanyue Sect and his party were about to walk through a dense forest, suddenly the beast roars sounded one after another, followed by a large group of demon beasts rushing towards everyone with great momentum.

"There is an ambush!" the white-clothed elder shouted, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
