Huo Xiu pursed his mouth, understanding what the other party meant. Since he had successfully advanced to the realm of the Great Perfection of the Qi Control Realm, he naturally had to accept Mu Lao's task.

However, Huo Xiu had also made up his mind, if it was the kind of task that entered the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountain, he would definitely find a way to refuse.

However, Mu Lao's strength is not weak, and it is not something that Huo Xiu can fight against at all.

Huo Xiu can only have a chance to fight with the help of the power of Zhenyuan Martial Mansion. But how to make Zhenyuan Wufu believe in him is also a problem.

Huo Xiu had already walked into the back hall with his mind full of cranky thoughts.

At this time, Mu Lao's complexion seemed to be better, and Lynch had already lowered his hands and stood aside.

Old Mu leaned on his crutches so that he could sit upright on the chair, and then said, "Huo Xiu, have you entered the Great Perfection of the Qi Control Realm?"

When Huo Xiu heard this, he didn't speak, but his body moved.

In an instant, azure blue true qi burst out from Huo Xiu's whole body, and the temperature of the entire back hall seemed to drop a few points.

Mu Lao nodded and said, "Good job, Huo Xiu, you really have some talent." ”

Huo Xiu smiled indifferently and immediately responded: "I can have today thanks to the cultivation of the Wood Palm Academy. If you have any orders, I will do my best. ”

Mu Lao stroked his beard and smiled.

"Huo Xiu, I told you before that when you advance to the Great Perfection of the Qi Control Realm, I need you to take a trip to the 100,000 Great Mountains for me. Now, it's time to tell you the truth. ”

After Mu Lao finished speaking, he closed his eyes and tilted his head, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said slowly, "I'm not actually a human race, but a wood race. Moreover, he is the last member of the Mu Clan in the Southern Regions. ”

Huo Xiu raised his head suddenly, he didn't expect Mu Lao to have such an identity.

Although Huo Xiu had never seen the Mu people, he had also read the relevant classics and knew the reason.

In addition to the two major races of the human race and the demon race, there are also remnants of different races in this world. Most of these races originated in antiquity, but gradually dissipated over the course of history, leaving only a small number of descendants.

These alien races are powerless to intervene in the dispute between the human race and the demon race, so most of them are hidden, and ordinary people and others cannot see their traces at all.

However, just because they are small doesn't mean they're small.

On the contrary, most of these races that have survived from ancient times to the present day are extremely strong, or have special abilities in some way.

Although Huo Xiu didn't know much, he had also heard of the characteristics of some different races, and the Mu Clan was one of them.

It is said that the appearance of this race is not much different from that of the human race, but it is good at cultivating various spirit herbs and spirit fruits, and it is also extremely handy in mixing related elixir liquids.

Thinking of Mu Lao's average strength, but he sat firmly in the position of the head of the Baicao Garden, Huo Xiu also understood a little. However, he was very puzzled as to why Mu Lao was the only one left in the Mu Clan.

Mu Lao saw the doubt in Huo Xiu's eyes, and continued: "Our Mu clan originally lived in seclusion in a secret place in the 100,000 Great Mountains, and there was no quarrel with the world. But hundreds of years ago, the demon clan invaded in a big way. After a great battle, the Mu tribe was defeated, and a small number of people escaped, and I am their last descendant. ”

When Huo Xiu heard this, he sighed and said, "The demon clan's crimes are monstrous, and these are just one of the crimes committed. Moreover, the power of the demon clan in the southern region is not weak, and if the wood clan wants to recover, it will be very difficult. ”

Mu Lao nodded and responded, "Huo Xiu, what you said is good. And I'm very old, and I don't have the ambition of my youth. Now, I only hope to retrieve the inheritance of the Wood Clan in the Southern Regions and take it to other regions to join the Wood Clan there. ”

Huo Xiu frowned and said, "Muzhang Yuan, listen to what you mean, the so-called inheritance thing should not be in the 100,000 Great Mountain." ”

"That's right. The great battle that year directly destroyed the entire Mu Clan's territory. The tribesmen fled in a hurry, and before they could take it, they left it where it was. Mu Lao responded.

Huo Xiu raised his eyebrows and questioned.

"Muzhangyuan, since you have failed. Then with the nature of the demon clan, you will definitely plunder it on a large scale, and I am afraid that your inheritance has already been snatched away. ”

When Mu Lao heard this, he laughed, and said proudly: "Although our Mu clan is scarce in number, there are also powerhouses in the three-day realm. In order to protect the bloodline of the Mu Clan, he did not hesitate to die with the leader of the Demon Clan. Our territory has also been affected, and it has been banned so that no one can enter it. ”

"Then wouldn't I be able to get in, then why did I go all the way to the 100,000 mountains to give away people's heads for nothing?" Huo Xiu blurted out and immediately asked.

For Huo Xiu's rudeness, Mu Lao was not angry, but patiently explained.

"According to the people who have escaped, there is still a secret passage in the territory of the Mu Clan that is not known to outsiders at all. However, due to the fact that the powerhouses of the three-day realm fought a lot in the territory of the Mu Clan, the passage underwent a strange change, and there was a biting cold wind all over it. Only warriors who can withstand the cold can enter, which is why I need you. ”

"Muzhangyuan, you can find a high-level martial artist, you don't need a little shrimp like me at all. Huo Xiu was still a little confused, so he continued to ask,

Mu Lao shook his head and sighed, "That passage was affected by the battle of the martial artists of the Three Days Realm, and it became extremely unstable, and only the martial artists of the Qi Control Realm could enter. No matter how high the realm of martial artists wants to enter, it will only cause the collapse of the passage, and then they will no longer be able to enter the territory of the Mu Clan. ”

Huo Xiu finally came to his senses, and it seemed that only he was suitable to enter the territory of the Mu Clan.

Suddenly, Huo Xiu thought that Mu Lao had had many young disciples before, but they all died. He didn't think he would be luckier than these people, and he couldn't help but worry about the trip to the Wood Clan's territory.

Mu Lao seemed to understand Huo Xiu's thoughts, and said softly: "Huo Xiu, before him, I also had many disciples who could endure the cold. But most of them are not strong-willed or talented, so they all fail. And only you are the most promising. ”

Mu Lao's explanation did not dispel Huo Xiu's doubts, and he smiled awkwardly: "Mu Zhangyuan, you really think highly of me. Actually, I'm pretty average, but I just had a bit of luck. ”

Mu Lao smiled and said, "Huo Xiu, you are too modest. In four months, it took four months to advance from the early stage of the Qi Control Realm to the Great Consummation of the Qi Control Realm, even with my secret assistance, but this speed is definitely amazing. I know what you think, are you thinking about the benefits? Don't worry, as the last descendant of the Mu Clan, I naturally have a lot of good things from the Wood Clan. When the time comes, I will definitely not treat you badly. ”
