Huo Xiu closed his mouth, the man's name was too sensitive to be revealed. The slightest mistake will put him in prison.

But at this time, carefully chewing on Mu Lao's deathbed words, Huo Xiu suddenly felt embarrassed.

Mu Lao spent his life and failed to fulfill his wish, not even knowing that the person he loved had died, which was really a tragedy.

However, Huo Xiu still gave that person's child a chance, a chance to be able to reform and enter the Shangmen Nanshan Sect.

Even though he didn't know what the situation was now, Huo Xiu still believed in Ye Xiao very much, at least he wouldn't push her into danger.

Huo Xiu thought of this, and his heart was slightly relieved.

At this time, Mansion Master Zheng stepped forward and patted Huo Xiu on the shoulder.

"You are Huo Xiu, the Master of the Confucian Mansion once mentioned you. Within half a year, you have advanced from the Great Perfection of the Body Refining Realm to the early stage of the Breakthrough Realm, and although there is Mu Lao to help you, you are still very talented. What's even more surprising to me is that you were able to get the Demon Pill, which is incredible. ”

Huo Xiu smiled and prevaricated on the grounds of good luck.

At this time, Huo Xiu suddenly remembered, raised his head and asked, "Mansion Master Zheng, I don't know if that demon pill is useful, what is Tang Qian's condition?"

Mansion Master Zheng smiled slightly: "That demon pill is indeed good, and it has played a big role." It is estimated that in a few days, Tang Qian will wake up. At that time, her awakening will also be perfected. Huo Xiu, this time you have made a great contribution, I will let the Martial Mansion reward you with a sum of money. ”

Huo Xiu waved his hand: "Speaking of which, Tang Qian's matter is still caused by my few blood inducing fruits, so I don't have to accept the reward of the Martial Mansion." ”

The lord of the Zheng Mansion waved his hand, disapproving. Then, his face turned straight and said solemnly: "Huo Xiu, since you have reached the realm of penetration, are you willing to serve in the 100,000 Mountains now." ”

Huo Xiu raised his eyebrows, and immediately responded, "I am willing." ”

The lord of the Zheng Mansion nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! I have something important to do, and I will leave today." You pack your bags and report to Riverwood early next month. ”

Huo Xiu nodded, and suddenly understood.

Huo Xiu has been in Zhenyuan Martial Mansion for many years, so he naturally knows the doorway.

As the head of a mansion, Zheng Wei was stationed on the front line of the 100,000 mountains all year round. The day-to-day affairs of Zhenyuanwu Mansion are managed by Kong Fang, the deputy head of the mansion.

In fact, all the martial arts in the Southern Regions are like this.

On weekdays, except for rotational rest or very special circumstances, each mansion master can return to his own martial mansion. Most of the time, they have to sit on the front line of the 100,000 mountains, always preventing the invasion of the demon clan.

Of course, it is impossible for the various lords to guard the front line alone, and they all take the warriors above the penetration realm of their own county to strictly guard the fortresses of each border town. And the upper courtyards of each martial mansion are also set up there with the lord of the mansion.

As for the border towns in charge, it depends on the danger they face. Generally speaking, a military government can defend a D-level border town alone, and three or four military governments can work together to guard a C-level border town. As for the first-level and second-level border towns, they were already beyond the scope that ordinary martial arts could bear, and a certain number of Nanshan Sect disciples had to be in charge in person.

Hemu Town, where Zheng Wei, the head of Zhenyuan Martial Mansion, is located, is a C-level border town, and it is jointly defended by the four martial mansions of Cangshan Prefecture, so that it can barely keep it from being attacked by the demon clan and the evil way.

At this time, the Confucian Mansion Master who was on the side suddenly asked, "Mansion Master Zheng, you haven't taken a turn off in the past few years, so you finally came back for one more trip and stayed for two more days?"

The lord of the Zheng Mansion shook his head: "The border has been tight recently, if it weren't for Tang Qian's matter, I would never have been able to come back." Now, I have returned at the same time as Lord Shen, and the defense of Hemu Town has dropped a lot. I have to rush back first, and wait for Tang Qian to complete his awakening, and then the Shen Mansion Lord will go back. ”

Seeing that the Lord of the Confucian Mansion was resolute, he stopped talking.

The lord of the Zheng Mansion looked around and said, "Kong Fang, Mu Lao has died, so you will follow the rules and give him a grand funeral." As for Lynch, the black man, it's useless, so he will be fed to the dogs!"

The master of the Confucian Mansion responded and immediately returned to the lower courtyard to make arrangements.

At this time, the lord of the Zheng Mansion walked up to Huo Xiu and stuffed him with a thin booklet.

"Huo Xiu, this is the basic situation of Hemu Town that we are guarding, you should understand it first, so that you won't be in a hurry when you get there. ”

Huo Xiu nodded gratefully and glanced at Mu Lao again. He couldn't do anything if he stayed here, but waited for the funeral to pay his respects.

Huo Xiu turned around and left quickly.

By the time he returned to his residence, Huo Xiu's violent heartbeat had finally eased.

There were a lot of accidents today, which made him already haggard. Only now has he recovered.

Huo Xiu opened the super task system and flipped through the information that he hadn't had time to learn more about before. According to the system prompt, he received another long-term task.

"Attention host, you have been given a long-term assignment to serve on the front line of the 100,000 Mountains for one year. Now start the first phase of this mission, and rush to Hemu Town early next month. ”

Huo Xiu let out a long sigh, he finally took the crucial step of entering the Nanshan Sect, and served in the 100,000 Great Mountains for a whole year.

This is the iron law of entry set by the Nanshan Sect, except for a few special people, most young martial artists who are interested in the Nanshan Sect must go through this stage.

It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to do.

On the front line of the 100,000 Great Mountains, the Penetration Realm is the lowest level of combat force. The vast majority of the dirty work is carried out by the Penetrating Realm martial artists, which also makes their mortality rate high.

Even the D-level border town with the lowest danger level has to fight with the demon clan and the evil path a few times a year. There are a large number of martial artists in the Penetrating Realm, so they are naturally the first to bear the brunt.

It can be said that the Penetrating Realm martial artist must be cautious enough to survive it.

But this is also the test of the Nanshan Sect for young martial artists, only in this way can they extract the essence from the rough and make the best of the talents.

Thinking of this, Huo Xiu flipped out the booklet given by the Zheng Mansion Lord just now, and began to flip through the contents.

Although this booklet is not very content, it is very detailed, covering almost every aspect of Kawaki Town.

However, what Huo Xiu was most interested in was the structure of Kawaki's defensive forces.

As the Lord of Confucius said, Hemu Town has departments such as the headquarters, the battle hall, the preparation hall, the guard hall, and the exploration hall. The headquarters is co-chaired by the governors of the four prefectures, and the other halls are headed by the deputy governors of each prefecture.

The Shen Mansion Lord of Zhenyuan Martial Mansion was in charge of the Battle Hall, but in Huo Xiu's opinion, it was more suitable for the preparation hall in charge of logistics.

"As for which one I should choose, I'll wait until I know. ”
