In the next few days, Huo Xiu devoted himself to cultivation and did not go out much.

Although he had the intention to visit the two lords of Zhenyuan Wu Mansion, Zheng and Shen, he had no choice but to give up in order to avoid suspicion.

Early in the morning of this day, Huo Xiu finished his morning exercise, changed into clean clothes, and walked to the lobby of the inn to eat.

Suddenly, he heard a few diners at a table behind him, hooking their heads, gathered together, whispering.

"Have you heard? Last night, our Hemu Town Tantang suffered a big loss in Xiaolin Village, losing dozens of good hands. ”

"Yes, I heard that it has been more than once, but Tantang always sends some martial artists who penetrate the realm, and none of those masters of the clutch realm have appeared. ”

"Pull it down, there are not many people in the Tantang Realm, and they still have to patrol the 100,000 mountains, and they won't invest too much energy in the outer villages at all. ”

Huo Xiu's heart trembled, thinking of the day he entered the city, several martial artists who had visited the hall hurried back, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"The people who visited the hall had accidents one after another, how could the guard headquarters of Hemu Town be indifferent. Also, Tantang suddenly lost a lot of manpower, so shouldn't it be replenished from the newly served warriors. ”

Just when Huo Xiu was suspicious, there was already a lot of noise in the guard headquarters of Hemu Town.

I saw an old martial artist with gray hair, pointing at the nose of the Xiao Mansion Lord and scolding sharply: "The surname Xiao, this time the Tantang you are in charge of is not good, but it has caused us to lose a lot of good hands in Nanzhen City, how can you explain it!"

Mansion Lord Xiao glanced at him and responded coldly: "Mansion Master Yao, don't worry, we didn't expect such a thing to happen." ”

Before the Xiao Mansion Master could finish speaking, another middle-aged female warrior jumped out.

"Fart! When the martial artists of our Jiulian City died inexplicably in Xiaolin Village before, you should have let the Tantang send the martial artists of the Clutch Realm to suppress the formation, instead of letting a large number of martial artists from the Penetrating Realm go over and lose their lives in vain. ”

The Lord of the Xiao Mansion couldn't stand the pressure, so he had to wave his hand.

"Alright, alright. It's all my fault for not thinking it through this time, okay. In a few days, I will ask the Lord of Ning Mansion, who is in charge of the Tantang, to personally lead the team and take a personal trip to Xiaolin Village, which should be okay. ”

When everyone saw this, their anger calmed down slightly.

At this moment, the Lord of the Xiao Mansion suddenly burst out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tantang has been greatly attritioned this time, and it is already overstretched, and it is difficult to ensure daily patrols. In my opinion, it is better for us to transfer some personnel from other halls to replenish the personnel. ”

This time, the Zheng Mansion Lord, who was silent on the side, jumped out and shook his head.

"No! During this time, the demon clan and the evil way are not restless, and the few halls we are in charge of can't cope with it, how can we have more people!"

As soon as the Zheng Mansion Master finished speaking, the Yao Mansion Master on the side immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the Lord of the Xiao Mansion turned cold, and seemed to be a little displeased.

He knew very well that although there were warriors from other cities in the halls controlled by each martial government, most of them were still warriors from their own cities, and if they let each hall send people to support the tantang, then most of them would still be warriors from their respective cities.

For the various lords, they naturally did not want to put the children of their cities in danger anymore, so they all prevaricated.

However, this was in the hands of the Lord of the Xiao Mansion, and his purpose was originally to let the newly served martial artists join the Tantang, so as to firmly control Huo Xiu in his own hands.

It was the lord of the Xiao Mansion who had a bitter face and pretended to be embarrassed.

"Everyone, since you are not willing to divide the people, then, we might as well include all the warriors who came to report this month into the visiting hall to fill the vacancies. ”

"No way!"

The Zheng Mansion Master just wanted to jump out to refute, but seeing that the two Mansion Masters next to him had no intention of objecting, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.

The Zheng Mansion Lord already knew that Huo Xiu had arrived in Hemu Town, and he wanted to place him in the Dao Battle Hall and cultivate it well in order to impact the next Nanshan Sect trial.

Unexpectedly, the fluttering words of the Xiao Mansion Lord broke his wishful thinking.

Mansion Master Zheng also knew very well that Mansion Lord Xiao's proposal was very attractive. After all, four cities have warriors who come to report every month. Placing all of them in the Tantang will not seem biased to each city.

Anyway, they are all newcomers, and they can't play a big role, even if they are damaged, they won't be too distressed.

The lord of the Zheng Mansion wanted to explain again, but the middle-aged female warrior on the side had already stood up.

"Xiao Leng, this time I will do as you say. However, my ugly words are put in front, if there is another large-scale death in the hall, I will never spare you!"

The Lord of the Xiao Mansion grinned and laughed.

"The Lord of the Dragon Mansion is serious, I will naturally let the Lord of the Ning Mansion be careful. For the new little ones, they will also be assigned some experienced veterans to minimize accidents. ”

Seeing that the Lord of the Xiao Mansion was very respectful, the Lord of the Dragon Mansion snorted coldly and turned to leave. Seeing that the matter had been decided, the other two lords also took their leave.

It was only then that the Xiao Mansion Lord bit his lip tightly, and his face was full of indignation.

"This old woman relied on her husband to be from the Nanshan Sect, and she pointed fingers at me, which is really hateful. ”

But soon, the corners of the Xiao Mansion Lord's mouth lifted and he sneered.

"Huo Xiu has been arranged to visit the hall, and Yan Ruyu should be satisfied this time. In doing so, he owes me a great favor. In time, after Yan Ruyu grows up, I can use his power to clean up that old woman well, and I don't have to endure her arrogance anymore. ”

In this way, before he knew it, Huo Xiu had been arranged to go somewhere. Of course, he didn't know anything about this, and he just carried out his daily cultivation step by step.

Finally, at the beginning of the month, Huo Xiu rushed to the hall guarding the headquarters early in the morning as requested.

At this time, the hall that had been empty before was already full of warriors. Most of them were already adults, and there was no one of Huo Xiu's age at all.

After all, there are still very few martial artists who can advance to the Penetration Realm before the age of 17, and most of the students of the Martial Mansion can't do this, let alone those who are born outside the Martial Mansion. Most of them came from local families or sects, and due to the lack of systematic training, they were already close to middle age when they reached the Breakthrough Realm.

However, according to the customary rules of the Terrans of the Southern Regions, anyone who reaches the Breakthrough Realm must serve on the front line of the 100,000 Great Mountains for a period of time, and they will also be paid handsomely.

Therefore, there is still an endless stream of warriors who come to report, and in this month alone, there are as many as 100 people.

Just as Huo Xiu was anxiously waiting for the announcement of his whereabouts, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall.
