Although the Huo family is the leading powerful family in Zhenyuan County, it is very far away from Zhenyuan City, where the county is located, and it takes ordinary people two days to arrive.

In fact, all the places in the Southern Regions are very far away from the surrounding big cities. Only in this way can we occupy the vast land and obtain the resources contained therein.

And these families are linked by blood, and they have gathered together to form fortresses. In this way, not only can we develop together, but also prevent the intrusion of the ubiquitous demon clan.

After all, thousands of years ago, the Southern Regions were still occupied by the demon clan. The warriors who moved from other regions have opened up the current Southern Regions little by little through long-term attacks with the demon clan.

To this day, the human race and the demon race are still in a state of interlaced teeth. However, most of the demon clans are gathered in the southernmost 100,000 mountains, and the human races are scattered in the northern area.

In order to prevent the attack of the demon clan, the Southern Regions will recruit a large number of warriors every year to patrol back and forth along the border of the 100,000 mountains.

Despite this, in some years, the Demon Clan was able to break through the defenses of the warriors and drive straight into the southern regions to burn and plunder on a large scale. At this time, the fortress where the tribes lived played a role in protecting the human race.

Rao is like this, there are still many fortresses that have been breached, and even some once glorious powerful families have disappeared, and only a few powerful fortresses can stand.

The Huojiabao forged by the Huo family in Zhenyuan County is one of them, which has gone through more than 500 years since the opening of the clan, and has never been completely broken by the demon clan, and even in the catastrophe that occurred 10 years ago, it is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Subsequently, the Huo family took this opportunity to rise to the top, and had the momentum of sitting firmly in the first powerful family in Zhenyuan County, and the patriarch of the family, Huo Chongwei, was recognized as the first person in the martial arts of Zhenyuan County.

Now that Huo Chongwei has fallen overnight, the impact on the Huo family can be imagined. Before Huo Xiu arrived at Huojiabao, he saw ten miles of vegetarian clothes along the road, all dressed in white, and heaven and earth were crying together.

Although he came through time and had no dealings with Huo Chongwei, Huo Chongwei took care of the previous owner of this body after all.

Huo Xiu was on the way, and he was also thinking about how to stay in the Huo family. It is absolutely impossible to use force, and only by using the identity of the young master of the Huo family and putting on an attitude of wanting to explore the mystery of the old patriarch's death can he win the resonance of most of the clansmen.

In this way, even if a few people oppose it, they dare not go against the consensus of the majority of the people, and Huo Xiu's task will be completed.

Of course, from the point of view of completing the task, it is always good to rush back to Guojiabao as soon as possible.

Along the way, Huo Xiu didn't dare to slack off, he used his right leg to open the meridians to increase his speed, and the two-day journey was completed in only half a day. At the same time, the progress of the mission is slowly improving.

Finally, when the progress of the mission jumped to 25%, Huo Jiabao appeared in Huo Xiu's sight.

This is a huge round fortress, and the people of the Huo clan live in it. On the periphery of the fortress, it was guarded by a ring wall more than ten feet high. Not only that, but along the perimeter of the city walls, an unfathomable moat surrounds.

In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the clansmen, Huojiabao only opened a small gate more than one zhang wide in one corner of the city wall, and a drawbridge was installed outside for entry and exit.

At this moment, Huo Xiu had already walked to the door. On the city wall, the gatekeeper didn't seem to believe that Huo Xiu would come back so quickly, and he was stunned for a while.

Huo Xiu raised his head and shouted, "Huo San, why don't you hurry up and put down the suspension bridge and open the door." ”

Huo San reacted at this time, immediately turned around and ran down the city wall, and shouted loudly: "The young master is back." Quickly inform the patriarch that Young Master Huo Xiu is back. ”

"Patriarch, grandfather's bones are not cold, and a new patriarch has appeared, is it ......?"

Huo Xiu couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, the drawbridge was put down, and more than a dozen people came out of the fort and squeezed the drawbridge tightly.

The leader is Huo Chongwei's second son, that is, Huo Xiu's uncle, Huo Poyu.

I saw Huo Poyu with a long beard of five willows under his cheeks, his face was like a crown of jade, and his face was upright. The light robe is slowly strapped, and the folding fan is shaken in his right hand, which looks very elegant.

All of this seemed extremely disgusting in Huo Xiu's eyes, because Huo Poyu was the faction that opposed Huo Xiu before. After being vetoed by Huo Chongwei, Huo Poyu made a lot of small moves in private, which also brought a lot of trouble to Huo Xiu.

Now, Huo Poyu is standing at the forefront, I am afraid that the position of the patriarch of the Huo clan is already in his pocket.

Sure enough, Huo Poyu closed the folding fan, pointed at Huo Xiu and shouted: "Huo Xiu, you ran back without receiving a report from the family, aren't you afraid of being expelled from Zhenyuan Martial Mansion? ”

Huo Xiu snorted coldly, it seemed that everything was as he expected, the Huo family was not ready to notify himself at all, and wanted to expel him directly.

Huo Xiu's face was straight, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Uncle Poyu, my grandfather has such a big incident, as the eldest grandson, he must come back." Moreover, I have received the approval of the Lord's Court. ”

As he spoke, Huo Xiu threw Mu Lao's oracle over.

Huo Poyu took the edict, read it roughly, and laughed loudly.

"Huo Xiu, I didn't expect you to be kicked out of the True Martial Palace and live in the Hundred Herbs Garden, you are really a waste. ”

As soon as the words fell, the clansmen behind also began to coax.

Seeing this, Huo Xiu roared and calmed everyone present, before he said loudly: "It doesn't matter where I am, as a young master, I have the right to know the cause of the old patriarch's death." ”

"Do you still have the face to ask, my father forcibly broke through the realm for you, went mad and died!"

Huo Poyu's face turned red, and he pointed at Huo Xiu and scolded angrily.

Huo Xiu's face sank, and he learned from the memories he inherited that in order to solve the problem that his grandson could not be promoted to the Qi Control Realm, Huo Chongwei wanted to use the technique of washing the muscles and veins to get rid of the cold qi in Huo Xiu's meridians, so as to achieve the realm of the Qi Control Realm.

But the problem is that the technique of washing the muscles and piercing the veins can only be performed by the masters of the Transformation Realm. Huo Chongwei is only a great consummation of the separation realm, and he is still a small realm.

For this reason, Huo Chongwei tried his best to improve his realm, and there was indeed a possibility of going mad.

But all this was too strange, and Huo Xiu had to ask to understand.

Huo Xiu gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "Where did the old patriarch fall?"

"100,000 mountains, the corpses haven't been transported back yet. ”

Huo Poyu didn't think about it, and blurted out. But as soon as the words fell, he regretted it. Hurriedly used a fan to cover his face in case he was seen to be flawed.

But this detail has been captured by Huo Xiu, it seems that he came back suddenly, and the other party is not ready. As long as you grasp the opportunity, you may not be able to turn the tables against the wind.

Huo Xiu let out a sigh and asked slowly: "The 100,000 Great Mountain is the place where the demon clan is entrenched, and there are many crises there. Generally speaking, no one would dare to break through the realm there. ”

"Who knows? Maybe it was my father and his old man who sensed that the opportunity had come, so they chose to force a breakthrough there. As a result, the breakthrough failed, and it just fell. Huo Poyu retorted.

Huo Xiu looked straight into Huo Poyu's eyes and didn't say a word.

Huo Poyu was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to look at Huo Xiu directly.

At this moment, an old man behind Huo Poyu leaned over and whispered a few words beside him.

Huo Xiu recognized the old man, who was an elder of the Huo family, and he was also a cadre who was strongly opposed to him.

After the elder's oral teaching, Huo Poyu became arrogant again, he pointed at Huo Xiu, and said loudly: "Huo Xiu, because of your own selfishness, the old patriarch of the Huo family has fallen. As the acting patriarch of the Huo family, I inform you that you have been expelled from the Huo family. From now on, you will have nothing to do with the Huo family. ”

Huo Xiu stared at Huo Poyu and replied coldly: "Expelle me?" As far as I know, to expel any clansmen, you must announce your ancestors in the ancestral hall. We're here, but it's not a good fit. ”

Huo Poyu was speechless for a while, but he couldn't find a reason to oppose Huo Xiu.
