"System prompt: My mission to enter the Shangmen Nanshan Sect has failed, and you have lost a chance to directly enter the Nanshan Sect. ”

Huo Xiu clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. This chance is tantamount to harming people's lives, and today's shame, he must let Huo Poyu pay for his blood debts.

By this time, it was already getting dark. The night was like a tidal wave, driving away all the light and gradually eroding the entire land. Only the moon in the night sky and a few slightly brighter stars brought a few dim rays of light to this side of the world.

Huo Xiu has been expelled from the Huo family, and it is impossible to spend the night in Huojiabao. There was no village nearby, and how to survive the dark night became the top problem in front of him.

It was not impossible to return to Zhenyuan Wu Mansion overnight, but Huo Xiu had been on the road all day, and he was already extremely tired. Moreover, he was plotted by Huo Poyu in the Huo family ancestral hall and suffered some internal injuries, although he was fine, he was in urgent need of recuperation, and it was not suitable to travel long distances.

Moreover, although the area around Huojiabao is a gathering place for the human race, it is not far from the remnants of the 100,000 mountains. There are not a few beasts nearby, and occasionally there are low-level demon clans wandering here, not to mention those evil ways and bandits who have taken refuge in the demon clan. So that the night here is full of danger.

At this moment, the super mission system suddenly made a sound.

"Since the host has not been able to complete the task I want to enter the Shangmen Nanshan Sect, I am now issuing a new task to you, and good and evil are only in a thought. By completing this quest, you can get the attention of the Nanshan Sect, but you may also fall into the evil path. Do you accept it?"

Huo Xiu didn't think about it, and replied directly "accept". This Nanshan Sect, he must go.

Although the system has now issued a strange double task to itself, as long as there is the slightest opportunity, Huo Xiu has to try his best to fight for it.

After receiving Huo Xiu's order, the super task system immediately prompted.

"The host has started the mission of good and evil in a single thought, please rush to the hot spring valley immediately. ”

Huo Xiu pondered for a moment, and immediately thought of his destination.

More than ten miles away from Huojiabao, there is a small valley that is rarely visited. There is a hot spring in the valley, and the hot spring water gushes out all year round, forming a lake of hundreds of acres in size, hence the name Hot Spring Valley.

Huo Xiu immediately turned around, relying on his previous memories, and headed towards the Hot Spring Valley.

Along the way, Huo Xiu repeatedly rubbed the mysterious jade pendant, carefully recalling Huo Poyu's words. The other party seems to know a little bit of the inside story, but he doesn't know much about it, and he doesn't want to mention it too much.

The only thing that can be concluded is that Huo Xiu's mother is by no means an ordinary person. After all, the Huo family can be regarded as the hero of the dominant side, and if he dares to take the initiative to leave the Huo family, he must have some ability.

Before he knew it, Huo Xiu had rushed outside the Hot Spring Valley.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and is only accessible by a long, winding path. As long as you stay at the mouth of the valley, you can always sense the movement around you.

The smell of sulfur in the air made it difficult for ordinary beasts to approach, and it became a safe place.

Before he entered the hot spring valley, Huo Xiu felt the temperature around him gradually rise, dispelling the cold on his body. This also made him refreshed and involuntarily accelerated the pace of progress.

A quarter of an hour later, Huo Xiu had already reached the end of the path, and after crossing the mountain pass in front of him, he could enter the valley.

Huo Xiu stood on a high point, and the situation in the hot spring valley was almost unobstructed.

After years of accumulation, the scorching mountain spring water has already filled the entire valley, creating a lake hundreds of acres in size. Several small islands are dotted around, creating a unique landscape.

On weekdays, there are occasional villagers from the neighborhood who come to soak in the hot springs. But now that night had fallen, the whole valley was silent and empty.

Huo Xiu walked briskly down the mountain pass, looking for a sheltered place from the wind, and plunged headlong into the lake.

The super mission system did not give hints on the next step, and he was not in a hurry, just taking the opportunity to soak in the hot springs to relieve his physical and mental exhaustion.

The warm spring water wrapped Huo Xiu layer by layer, and all the limbs and bones were greatly relaxed. Even the internal injuries he suffered before are recovering little by little.

After all, this is the edge of the lake, and the temperature is not too high, so Huo Xiu had to beat his limbs and slowly swim towards the center of the lake.

The water temperature in the center of the lake was much higher than that around it, and after a while, Huo Xiu felt sweating all over his body. He had no choice but to climb onto one of the islands to dispel the heat from his body.

At this moment, Huo Xiu suddenly heard the sound of water on the other side of the island.

"How so, is there anyone nearby?"

Although this small island was only a few acres in size, it was full of huge mountains and rocks, so that Huo Xiu couldn't see the situation on the other side at all. He had no choice but to hunch over, tiptoe, and walk softly.

A moment later, Huo Xiu stood still behind a rock the size of a city gate, craned his neck, and looked ahead.

A young girl was sitting by the lake, as if she was doing exercises to heal her wounds.

At this moment, Huo Xiu suddenly felt the stone under his feet loosen, and he almost fell to the ground.

The girl reacted immediately, her face changed suddenly, her right hand pointed forward, and a true qi edge more than ten zhang long was directly condensed.

"Who!?" the girl snapped.

At this moment, Huo Xiu was extremely shocked, he couldn't imagine that this girl who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old actually had the strength to look like a clutch realm.

You must know that condensing the true qi edge that is more than ten zhang long, let alone controlling the qi realm, even the martial artists of the through realm can rarely do it. But now, Huo Xiu has been locked by this True Qi Edge.

Huo Xiu had no choice but to raise his hands high, stick out his head from behind the boulder, and said, "It's me, I'm just passing by." ”

The girl's face turned red, and she scolded angrily: "What are you doing here, are you trying to sneak up on me?"

Huo Xiu rolled his eyes and replied helplessly: "I also came here by accident, and I didn't expect anyone at all." ”

"Dare to quibble, eat my sword first!"

As she spoke, the true qi on the girl's hand was lightly sharpened, and the boulder where Huo Xiu was hiding fell apart.

Huo Xiu rolled on the spot, and he was able to dodge the girl's attack.

When the girl saw that the blow missed, her two willow eyebrows rose upside down, and her right hand flew up and down, frequently pointing at Huo Xiu.

Huo Xiu kept dodging, barely avoiding the opponent's attack. In a few breaths, he was cornered on the edge of the island.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Huo Xiu gritted his teeth, turned around and prepared to jump into the water and escape from the lake.

But at this moment, the girl's attack stopped, she bit her lip tightly and glared at Huo Xiu.

It was only now that Huo Xiu realized that the girl had not moved a single step from beginning to end.

"Is she a real master, or is there something else going on?"

Huo Xiu couldn't help but feel confused.

Suddenly, the girl scolded in a trembling voice: "That stinky boy in front, you turn me around! ”
