Although the short man is the third master of the Ji family, he is helpless against these precious nephews.

These are the bloodlines of his eldest brother, that is, the current patriarch of the Ji family, extremely delicate, if he really hurts his life in his hands, he himself can't explain it.

I only blamed myself for being too light on the enemy, but I didn't expect Huo Xiu to use such a method. One didn't pay attention, and he fell into the other party's way.

"Say, how can you let Chong'er go?" the short man stared at Huo Xiu and said helplessly.

The corners of Huo Xiu's mouth raised, and he said with a smile: "Tell me the purpose of your coming to the Empty Styx Mountain." ”

Before the stout man could answer, Ji Chong preemptively said, "Third uncle, don't tell Huo Xiu about that place." ”

When Huo Xiu heard this, his face turned dark, and he said unhappily: "Shut up! I didn't let you speak." ”

At this time, the short man also scolded: "Huo Xiu, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you control Chong'er." Look at where you're now, don't go too far!"

Huo Xiu looked over and found that the stout man and the two guards had already approached and surrounded them in a semicircle. If the other party decides to fight to the death, he will definitely not take advantage of it.

Huo Xiu had a straight face, without words, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Well, since you don't say it, I can't help it." Now, please retreat to the mountain pass, and then I will release Ji Chong and leave this place. ”

"Why do we believe you, who knows if you will hold Chong'er hostage. The stout man asked sharply.

Huo Xiu said calmly: "If I wanted to rob Ji Chong, I would have asked you about the true purpose of coming to the Empty Styx Mountain. I know you're unhappy with me, and for your own safety, you have no choice but to do so. ”

"No, I can't trust you. Ah Da and Ah Er can retreat to the mountain pass, and I must stay here. ”

The stout man shook his head and stared at Huo Xiu with distrust.

Huo Xiu was helpless, so he had to say: "I have long been expelled by the Huo family, and now I am just a lonely person, and the only one I can rely on is Zhenyuan Wufu." But Zhenyuanwu Mansion clearly stipulates that those who deliberately harm their fellow disciples will be killed! You say, what will I dare to do with Ji Chong?"

The stout man bit his lip and glared at Huo Xiu fiercely a few times before leading his men to retreat towards the mountain pass. Before leaving, don't forget to throw out a sentence.

"Huo Xiu, you remember it for me. If you dare to hurt Chong'er with a finger, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will chase you back. ”

Huo Xiu smiled and did not respond.

After the short man and the others retreated to the mountain pass, Huo Xiu knelt in Ji Chong's ear and whispered, "Do you know why I didn't use my combat skills? Because you are too weak to be worth it." So it was in the past, and so it is now. ”

Huo Xiu said, withdrew his right hand, patted Ji Chong's shoulder, and left with a long smile.

Not long after, Huo Xiu disappeared into the Empty Stygian Mountain.

At this time, the short man also rushed over with Ah Da and Ah Er.

"Chong'er, are you okay?"

Ji Chong didn't answer, just stood dumbfounded. He kept recalling Huo Xiu's words before leaving, and he couldn't let go.

It's just that two or three months ago, Huo Xiu was just a garbage martial artist who had been squatting in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Body Refining Realm for three full years, and it was not worth mentioning in Ji Chong's eyes at all. He even had a conflict with Huo Xiu in the True Martial Palace, and beat him up in front of everyone.

But all of this has undergone earth-shaking changes after Huo Xiu advanced to the Qi Control Realm.

After the conflict, in just one day's effort, Huo Xiu had advanced to the realm of Qi Control Realm. At that time, he didn't even know how to fight, but he just used a flying kick in the basic skill of refining the body, and he cracked Ji Chong's best combat skill.

At that time, Ji Chong was not convinced, he always thought that he was too light on the enemy, so Huo Xiu chose to take advantage, and he even thought that one day he could find a way back from Huo Xiu.

But when Ji Chong saw that Huo Xiu and his elder brother Ji Wuer were inseparable in the Demon Slaying Conference Trials, he realized that he was really wrong. There was already a considerable gap between him and Huo Xiu.

And Ji Wuji's final fiasco also completely shattered Ji Chong's revenge plan.

Now, Ji Chong is even more aware of his insignificance. He was no longer Huo Xiu's opponent at all, and Huo Xiu didn't even have any intention of attacking him at all.

In just two or three months, the strength of the two sides was already different, and Ji Chong really couldn't accept this fact.

Suddenly, Ji Chong burst into tears.

When the stout man saw this, he had to comfort him softly.

"Chong'er, don't be sad anymore. Huo Xiu's kid is following a crooked path, and he will definitely not live long. Moreover, as long as we get that thing in the Empty Styx Mountain, you will definitely have a better future than Huo Xiu on the path of martial arts in the future. Leading for a while does not mean leading all the time. ”

"yes......"

Ji Chong suddenly came to his senses, he immediately wiped away his tears, and said with shame: "Third uncle, I am too fragile to make you laugh." ”

Seeing that Ji Chong had regained his strength, the sturdy man said with a smile: "Chong'er, there will be a disciple of the Nanshan Sect in our Ji family soon." At that time, even Zhenyuan Martial Mansion would not be able to protect Huo Xiu. When the time comes, he will not be a fish on the board, let us slaughter it!"

Ji Chong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he secretly swore in his heart that he must make Huo Xiusheng worse than dead.

"Ahh

Huo Xiu walked on the mountain path and involuntarily sneezed.

"Which bastard is secretly saying bad things about me? Could it be that Ji Chong's kid?"

Huo Xiu touched his nose and couldn't help but question.

However, thanks to Ji Chong, Huo Xiu roughly determined a few points.

First of all, the Ji family sent them here for a specific purpose. As for what exactly it will be, it is not yet known.

In addition, there is definitely more than one person who knows this secret, after all, even Ji Chong, a junior, knows the so-called place, and his brothers should also know something.

Since this is the case, Huo Xiu has already determined the breakthrough of the whole matter, that is, to find an opportunity to take down a junior of the Ji family, and force them to find out the real purpose of their coming to the Empty Styx Mountain.

As for the specific candidate, Huo Xiu rolled his eyes and had already determined the object. But how to achieve this goal is still a difficult problem.

Suddenly, a poisonous snake burst out from behind Huo Xiu and was not spotted until it was close.

Huo Xiu hurriedly flew up and kicked the poisonous snake out.

This kick was so powerful that the viper flipped a few times, and soon stopped moving.

Huo Xiu walked closer and found that it was just an ordinary poisonous snake, and he didn't even find it in advance, he was really too unalert.

Suddenly, Huo Xiu had a flash of inspiration and thought of a plan to deal with the Ji brothers.
