Hearing the words of the middle-aged red beard, the action of Chi Xiao who was about to intercede for Yi Xiaoyao and the others instantly stiffened there, and the whole person was stunned, and his face was full of doubts and surprises.

It turns out that the great patriarch and Yi Xiaoyao have known each other for a long time?

Moreover, the great patriarch's attitude towards Yi Xiaoyao just now was actually extremely good, as if he had seen some extremely high-status character!

Could it be that Yi Xiaoyao really has an extraordinary background?

If this is the case, then why didn't Yi Xiaoyao come to see the Great Patriarch himself, but followed him?

Otherwise, what is the point of him carefully following the rules and being full of apprehension just now?

Even, because of his observance of the rules, he was scolded by the patriarch.

Thinking of this, Chi Xiao became more and more puzzled, and his mind was full of questions.

"Why don't you go down quickly, what are you doing here?"

The red-haired middle-aged man frowned slightly, and drank again.

"Ahh Yes, yes! ”

Only then did Chi Xiao come back to his senses, and hurriedly agreed to leave, and when he passed by Yi Xiaoyao and the others, he turned all his questions into one look at Yi Xiaoyao.

Yi Xiaoyao certainly understood the meaning in Qi Xiao's gaze, but he only responded with a helpless wry smile.

Because speaking of it, Yi Xiaoyao himself was also surprised, how could he have thought that this uncle, the patriarch of one of the nine tribes of Lihuang, he actually knew and had seen it.

After Yi Xiaoyao disclosed the identity of the successor of the Qing Emperor, there were people who came to express their friendly attitude in several other wastelands, and the person from Li Huangyuan was the middle-aged red-bearded man in front of him.

However, Yi Xiaoyao thought about it, and no longer felt that this was a coincidence, he had already heard Chi Xiao say that the tribe he was in now was in charge of Li Huang's diplomacy and etiquette, and the matter of showing good communication with Qinghuang was not what the great patriarch in front of him was responsible for.

Yi Xiaoyao was only focused on the matter of Xuanmo and did not think of this, which caused Chi Xiao to make such an oolong, and smiled apologetically at Chi Xiao again.

Chi Xiao had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, and after saying goodbye, he entered the passage and left.

The red-bearded middle-aged man looked at the figure of Chi Xiao leaving, but there was some smile in his eyes, he didn't expect that his nephew was still friends with the heirs of the Qing Emperor, it seems that he needs to cultivate Chi Xiao well in the future, maybe he can come in handy in the future in the communication of Qinghuang.

"It turns out that Uncle Chi Gu is the patriarch of Li Huang, which is really disrespectful."

Seeing Chi Xiao leave, Yi Xiaoyao took a step forward and smiled at the red-bearded middle-aged man in front of him, he vaguely remembered that this person's name was Chi Gu.

Chi Gu also laughed, motioned for Yi Xiaoyao and the two to take a seat, and said: "Where is this, farewell at the beginning, goodbye at this time, it seems that the cultivation of the descendants of the Green Emperor has improved, and he is worthy of being the person chosen by the Green Emperor!" ”

"It's a bit of an improvement."

Yi Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, he didn't use the slightest spiritual power, and he could feel his cultivation conveniently, and it seemed that his strength was extraordinary.

But when I think about it, there are only nine great patriarchs in Li Huang, and the status of each of them is even higher than that of the other great power sect masters in the wasteland.

Then, Yi Xiaoyao said again: "By the way, Uncle Chi Gu can just call me by name, we are here in Li Huang this time, it is inconvenient for others to know, and please forgive Uncle Chi Gu." ”

"Don't worry, I still understand this."

Chi Gu smiled: "I just heard Chi Xiao say, is there something that the virtuous nephew needs my help with?" ”

Yi Xiaoyao saw that the other party was talking about the topic, so he told Xuanmo about it and the doubts in his heart, and asked him for specific information about the matter.

After hearing the relationship between Yi Xiaoyao and Xuan Mo, Chi Gu was also surprised, but he didn't hide anything, and still told Yi Xiaoyao what he knew.

It turned out that Worm Li was the eldest son of the patriarch of the Li Huang Insect Tribe, and his cultivation talent was average since he was a child, but his talent for controlling insects was very amazing, so his status in the Insect Department was also quite high.

As for Xuan Mo, it was an apprentice brought back by the worm from a trip a year ago, and he was born unable to cultivate, and his ability to control the worm can be called a demon, but it has attracted the attention of many people.

It seems that because Xuanmo is very similar to his own physique, Worm Li cultivates Xuanmo like his own son, and takes him with him wherever he goes.

But just a few months ago, Worm Li discovered a tomb of the King of Ten Thousand Poisonous Insects, and as always, he took Xuan Mo into the tomb to look for the soul of Ten Thousand Poisonous Insects, but unexpectedly, he never came out alive.

On the contrary, it was Xuan Mo, who not only left the tomb safely, but also obtained the soul of ten thousand poisonous insects!

This kind of thing has aroused great concern from Li Huang, and everyone suspects that it was Xuan Mo who killed the worm and thus seized the soul of ten thousand poisonous insects.

Therefore, Xuanmo was imprisoned in the place of death of the criminal department.

Hearing this, Yi Xiaoyao's brows furrowed more and more, and he questioned: "It's just a suspicion, without any direct evidence, if you deal with it like this, aren't you afraid of having grievances?" ”

"Speaking of which, there may be a grievance in this matter, but because of the ten thousand poisonous insect souls, even if there is a grievance, I am afraid it will be difficult to clear up." Chi Gu smiled helplessly.

Yi Xiaoyao's eyes were cold, and he asked, "Why?" Could it be that someone looked at the ten thousand poisonous insect souls on Xuanmo's body and deliberately wronged him? ”

"Because of my identity, it's inconvenient for me to be too specific, and I ask my nephew to forgive me." Chi Gu smiled helplessly.

Yi Xiaoyao nodded silently, he could understand, after all, Chi Gu is the Great Patriarch, and Yi Xiaoyao is a foreigner, even if other people can say some things, Chi Gu can't say it.

"Then can I see Xuanmo?"

Yi Xiaoyao asked Chi Gu, if he could listen to Xuan Mo tell the truth himself, it would be a great thing.

Chi Gu suddenly frowned, and his face was full of hesitation.

"If Uncle Chi Gu can help me, I will never forget this kindness!" Yi Xiaoyao hurriedly requested.

"That's it!"

Chi Gu sighed and said, "Maybe when you see him, you will know better that it is impossible to save him." ”

Yi Xiaoyao's heart was sudden, but he still thanked him.

Immediately after, he and Yun Mengling walked into a teleportation array along with the bones.

The light flashed, and Yi Xiaoyao only felt that the picture in front of him changed, appearing in a black stone valley, and there seemed to be a huge black stone prison in front of him.

"Here, it is my Li Huang Punishment Department, but almost no one who enters the death place of the Criminal Department can come out alive."

Chi Gu said to Yi Xiaoyao intentionally or unintentionally, as if reminding him not to have any hope of saving Xuan Mo.

Then, under a respectful shout, Chi Gu took Yi Xiaoyao and the others into the prison, came to an independent stone prison, and commanded the guards on both sides of the stone gate: "Open the door." ”

"Great Patriarch, the Holy Son of the Poison Dove has given us a death order, and no one can enter here except him." The guard replied apprehensively.

The skull suddenly snorted coldly and shouted, "Hmph! Even if the poisonous dove wins the position of emperor, he still has to call me uncle! What's more, he is only a holy son now, and he is still qualified to stop me? Open the door! ”

The two guards shuddered, and had no choice but to open the stone door.

Yi Xiaoyao's eyes moved slightly, as if he had heard some information, and remembered the name of the poison dove in his heart.

Immediately after the roar of the stone gate opened, a heart-numbing sound of insect chirping came from behind the stone gate, and this kind of insect sound made even Yi Xiaoyao's soul feel extremely uncomfortable.

Immediately afterward, Yi Xiaoyao saw that in the darkness behind the stone door, a figure was hanging in the air, and there were countless black beetles crawling all over his body.

The sound of insects he had heard just now was made by these black beetles.

Moreover, these beetles are constantly pulling out wisps of spider silk-like transparent crystal from the hanging body, flying to the side and piecing together most of the extremely hideous giant poisonous insect phantoms!

Seeing this scene, Yi Xiaoyao finally understood why the sound of the insect made his soul uncomfortable.

Because these dense black worms can extract the soul!

And the hideous poisonous insect phantom that those spider silk crystal things put together must be the soul of ten thousand poisonous insects in the mouth of the bone before.

As for the figure that was hung in the air and was drained by the black worm, it was Xuanmo!
