Seven days later, most of the people of Hemu Town appeared in a place called Pingyang Pass.

Before, although Huo Xiu and the others fought bravely to kill the enemy, they resisted the attack of the demon clan at the front gate of Hemu Town.

However, it didn't work out, and at that time, the back gate of Hemu Town finally fell because it couldn't withstand the demon clan's repeated attacks for nearly two months.

The army of the demon clan in the 100,000 mountains poured in from all gaps like a tide.

Seeing that it was unstoppable, the high-level officials of Hemu Town decisively ordered the abandonment of Hemu Town to cover the evacuation of civilians.

Coincidentally, the demon clan responsible for attacking the front door was in a chaotic position, and there was no power to stop it, which also made the evacuation of Hemu Town very smooth.

In just a week's effort, most of Hemu Town had retreated to the Binh Duong Pass.

This is the key point that guards Hemu Town and the neighboring Lingnan Prefecture, and once the demon clan breaks through here, the entire Southern Region may face danger.

However, fortunately, those demon clans did not rush to attack here in order to consolidate the newly occupied territory, which also gave everyone a chance to breathe. So that they can reorganize their troops and horses and deploy heavy defenses.

And during this time, Huo Xiu was quite relaxed. This is because he was injured in the previous battle with the Demon Venerable of the Knocking Mountain, and he has not fully recovered, and he did not encounter any danger when retreating, which also made him simply take the sick name and concentrate on recuperating from his injuries without caring about anything else.

At this time, after entering the Pingyang Pass, the Lord of the Ning Mansion took the opportunity to find Huo Xiu.

He didn't have too much politeness, and asked straight to the point: "Huo Xiu, you have been tired of traveling for the past few days, has your injury improved?"

Huo Xiu smiled indifferently and responded: "Thanks to you, you didn't arrange any important tasks for me. So, the injury recovered a bit. However, it will take some time to fully recover. ”

The Lord of the Ning Mansion nodded slightly, and then the conversation changed.

"Huo Xiu, you've been here in Hemu Town for almost a year, and it seems that you haven't taken a turn off yet. It's better to have more than a month left, and you will return to Cangshan Prefecture to recuperate for a while. By the way, I am also preparing for the Nanshan Sect entry trial two months later. ”

"This ...... It's not so convenient. Now that those demon clans have occupied Hemu Town, and we haven't driven them away, how can I escape?"

Huo Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked with hesitation.

At this time, he saw that the Lord of Ning Mansion smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to worry about this, on the way to retreat, we have already sent a request for help to the Nanshan Sect and the nearby border towns. It is estimated that they will come in the next few days, and by that time, we will be outnumbered, no more than you, no less than you, no less, you can simply go back and rest. ”

Huo Xiu responded, and seemed to be a little moved.

It was already November, and there were still less than two months left before the Nanshan Sect Introductory Trial early next year, and Huo Xiu should indeed prepare for this grand event.

Therefore, Huo Xiu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

At this time, the Lord of Ning Mansion also took out a jet-black iron card and handed it to Huo Xiu.

"Huo Xiu, this is a sign that you have served in Hemu Town for one year, so be sure to put it away. In addition, the exploits you made in the battle with the demon clan have been exchanged for merit points and hit your name. When you leave, you can use it to exchange for the corresponding items. ”

Huo Xiu took the iron card and found that it was an identity waist card, so he already understood the reason.

Then he carefully put it away, and then handed it away.

"Thank you Lord Ning for your kindness, let's say goodbye. See you in the rivers and lakes in the future, and you will definitely have a good time!"

Huo Xiu said, and then turned around and left.

At this time, the Ning Mansion Lord looked at Huo Xiu's gradually disappearing figure, and couldn't help muttering: "Boy, you'd better get out of here quickly, if it's any later, it's going to be a big deal." ”

For these, Huo Xiu naturally didn't know. However, he didn't want to dwell too much.

After exchanging all the merit points for Qi Nourishing Pills, Huo Xiu followed a caravan and rushed back to Zhenyuan City.

At this time, Huo Xian sat in one of the carriages, checking the situation of his current mission.

Due to the loss of Kawaki Town, his sixth stage mission failed again, and the skill points he had accumulated with great difficulty were cleared.

"Hey, skill points and merit points, these two are zero eggs. But fortunately, I have obtained a lot of Qi Nourishing Pills, and it is estimated that after completely refining, I will have the opportunity to touch the threshold of the Clutch Realm. ”

Huo Xiu thought about it, then retracted his thoughts and concentrated on refining the Qi Nourishing Pill in his hand.

What Huo Xiu didn't know was that not long after he left, the entire Pingyang Pass was once again in a mess.

I saw a young martial artist who was eight feet tall and had a jade face, who was furious in front of the high-level leaders of Hemu Town.

"So, my brother Yan Rufeng didn't break out with you at all!?"

Seeing this, the Lord of the Xiao Mansion hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Grand Prince Yan, please calm your anger, Second Prince Yan took those guards to the 100,000 Mountains to carry out the mission." Presumably, there was a reason for the delay in the trip. When he returned, he encountered the demon clan attacking the city again, so he couldn't come back in time. ”

Yan Ruyu's face darkened, she snorted, and then said dissatisfied: "Then how did I hear that the other people who were with Yan Rufeng came back early." Moreover, that Huo Xiu also escaped back before the demon clan attacked the city!"

The corners of the Xiao Mansion Lord's mouth twitched, and he suddenly secretly complained. But he also knew very well that the Yan family still had some eyeliner buried in Hemu Town, and it was not surprising to know about it. There was no outbreak before, it was all because the demon clan was attacking the city and the information was not smooth.

Now, most of Hemu Town has fled to Pingyang Pass, and these news have naturally spread far and wide, and it has reached Yan Ruyu's ears.

At this moment, seeing that Yan Ruyu was already furious, the Xiao Mansion Lord had to bite his lip and said stubbornly: "These are all accidents, nothing ......"

Before the master of Xiao Mansion finished speaking, Yan Ruyu interrupted stiffly.

"That's the case, Xiao Leng, let me ask you, where is Huo Xiu now!? I'm going to confront him face to face!"

"This ......"

The lord of the Xiao Mansion grinned, and he stopped talking.

At this time, the Lord of the Ning Mansion next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Young Master Yan, you don't know anything. When Huo Xiu was fighting against the demon clan, he was seriously injured by a demon venerable, and he had already returned to his hometown to recuperate. ”

"What!?When did he leave!?"

Yan Ruyu was suddenly angry and immediately asked.

The Lord of the Ning Mansion raised his head slightly, as if he was counting the time. Soon, he quickly responded: "No more, no less, just left for a week." ”

"This guy is pretty quick to escape!"

Yan Ruyu's face tightened, and she said fiercely. But he also knew that he was here with the mission of expelling the demon clan, and he couldn't leave to chase Huo Xiu, so he had to do it.

"Huo Xiu, when you arrive at the Nanshan Sect, I will make you look good!"
