Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Dark Tide Surges

Early the next morning, a large number of guards gathered on the Xia family's martial arts field, Xia Yang and Xia Yaoxue were also among them, and the appearance of the four was temporarily called by Xia Houming, saying that they would go to the Red Leaf Forest together, so that they could first familiarize themselves with the situation on the periphery of the Red Leaf Forest, so that they could enter the state faster and better when hunting.

Xiahou Ming saw that it was almost the appointed hour, stepped forward, and said aloud to everyone: "This time I called everyone to come, the purpose I think everyone knows, in half a month it will be the annual hunt in Red Leaf City, and recently it has been rumored that there are some unusual things on the periphery of the Red Leaf Forest, so the three major families have agreed to go to the Red Leaf Forest today to investigate." Now let's go!"

"Yes," everyone said in unison.

"Xia Ye, Xia Yang, Xia Yuan and Xue'er, the four of you follow me!" After speaking, Xia Houming walked out of the door without waiting for them. Outside the door, Xia Yang and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes, but even so, they didn't hesitate too much, and only heard Xia Ye say, "Let's go!"

Xia Yang and the three nodded and followed, and when Xia Yang and the four came to the door, they found that the horses had already been prepared. Xia Houming was already on the horse, Xia Ye walked to a white horse first, only to see him grasp the reins with his left hand, tiptoe a little on the ground, and turn over on the horse's back, his movements were neat, and he simply did it in one go. Although Xia Houming didn't put his eyes there, he still nodded imperceptibly.

Xia Yang looked at Xia Yuan and Xue'er beside him, and saw that they didn't notice this, and secretly said in his heart that he was thinking too much, and just as he was about to act, he saw Xia Yuan and Xue'er walking forward, and the two walked towards the black horse and the red horse respectively.

After the two got on the horse, Xia Yaoxue said to Xia Yang: "Brother Xia Yang, hurry up, we are all waiting for you!"

Xia Yang smiled helplessly, quickly walked to the only remaining horse, and quickly turned over on the horse.

At this moment, Xia Houming opened his mouth and said, "Let's go!" After speaking, he set off towards the east gate first, followed by Xia Yang and a few guards.

A large group of people had gathered at the east gate of Red Leaf City at this time, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be people from the two families of Xu and Wang, and they saw Wang Taizheng and Xu Yuansheng standing together and talking about something.

"Brother Wang, we didn't tell the Xia family, you said it was not good for us to do this!" Xu Yuansheng said with some uncertainty.

"Hmph, what are you worried about, didn't we wait for him in advance? When the time comes, just let him send someone to recruit those juniors! Okay, don't think about it, maybe Xia Houming will be like us, let Xia Ye and them follow. Wang Tai said in a weird way, but he thought in his heart Xiahou Ming, Xiahou Ming, see that I don't lose your face today, so that you can't get off the stage in public.

"Okay, that's the only way, who let our juniors already be here!" Xu Yuansheng said helplessly. It's just that a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and an expression appeared on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. And Wang Tai, who was thinking about things, didn't see this scene, otherwise he would definitely pay attention to this seemingly scheming Xu Yuansheng!

"Brother Wang, I heard that Lingzi Wang Yu's current cultivation is already the peak of the sixth order of body refining, and if you go further, it will be the seventh order of body refining, this is the watershed of the body refining realm! Unlike my eldest son, who is not angry, he has barely entered the late stage of the sixth order of body refining now, and when it comes to hunting, I still hope that Yu'er Xian nephew will take care of my sons who are not angry!" Xu Yuansheng said suddenly.

"Hmph, what does Brother Xu mean by this? Let's not talk about how your second son cultivates, just your youngest son Xu Zifeng" Wang Tai was interrupted by Xu Yuansheng before he finished speaking, only to hear Xu Yuansheng say with a smile: "It seems that you can't hide anything from Brother Wang, Xiao'er also broke through the original cultivation to reach the late stage of the sixth order only before yesterday, and I hope that Brother Wang will not say it for the time being!" When Xu Yuansheng heard Wang Tai mention his youngest son, he knew that the matter of his youngest son's breakthrough in cultivation was no longer a secret in the eyes of the Wang family, and at the same time, he also knew that the Wang family had placed eyeliner in the Xu family, which shocked Xu Yuansheng in his heart, you must know that there are not many people in the Xu family who know that Xu Zifeng's breakthrough in cultivation, and all of them are the core figures of the Xu family, they will not betray the Xu family, it is precisely this reason that makes Xu Yuansheng puzzled and uneasy at the same time! Who is this informant? Xu Yuansheng secretly thought in his heart.

Seeing Xu Yuansheng fall into thought, Wang Tai thought disdainfully that there were many things that surprised you. Wang Tai didn't let Xu Yuansheng continue to think about it, but said: "Brother Xu, don't guess how I know, don't your Xu family also have eyeliner in my Wang family?"

"This, what does Brother Wang mean?" Xu Yuansheng asked with some puzzlement, he didn't understand what Wang Tai wanted to do.

"Since I have said this, I won't hide it from Brother Xu, you also know the relationship between our Wang family and the Ghost King Sect, and next year will be a major event for the ten major sects to choose disciples once every two years, and then the geniuses of various regions will gather in the top ten sects. The Ghost King Sect told me that if there is a suitable candidate, you can recommend it to the Ghost King Sect!" Wang Tai said that he did not say any more, because he had already sensed that the Xia family was coming, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiahou Ming's figure to appear outside the city gate.

Xu Yuansheng was attracted by Wang Tai's words and did not notice the arrival of the Xia family.

Under the leadership of Xiahou Ming, everyone came to the east gate of Red Leaf City, and only then did they find that the two families of Xu and Wang were already there. Xiahou Ming looked at Wang Tai and Xu Yuansheng as if they didn't notice him coming, his brows were slightly furrowed, the two must have agreed to arrive in advance, because there was still a stick of incense before the agreed time, and the Xu and Wang families didn't come there to chat in advance, did this indicate it

Xia Houming didn't have to think about it, the guards of the Xia family who followed closely had already arrived, if such a big movement could not attract the attention of the two, then it was certain that there would definitely be a cat between the two or between the two families. Sure enough, Wang Tai and Xu Yuansheng noticed the situation here one after another, and Xu Yuansheng made a slight adjustment, and the two walked towards Xiahou Ming.

"Brother Xia, don't come to harm!" Xu Yuansheng said with a smile.

After Xia Houming dismounted, he also said politely: "Thanks to Brother Xu's blessing, everything is fine!" "You have come to look for it, there is still a stick of incense from the time we agreed! I wonder if Brother Xu has other changes?" He didn't look at Wang Tai at all when he spoke. Xiahou Ming knew in his heart that the last auction did not give the Wang family any benefits, and he still held a grudge against him, but for Xiahou Ming, he didn't put Wang Tai in his eyes at all.

Xu Yuansheng saw the situation of the two and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but for the sake of hunting, the two could not be so deadlocked. So Xu Yuansheng coughed lightly and said: "Brother Xia, I discussed with Brother Wang, and temporarily decided to let the juniors of the three families also go to the periphery of the Red Leaf Forest together, so that they can familiarize themselves with the environment there first, so as not to be in a hurry because they are not familiar with the terrain when hunting!

Before Xu Yuansheng's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xiahou Ming, only to hear Xiahou Ming say: "Needless to say, I have already brought Xia Ye and a few people." Since everyone agrees, let's set off as soon as possible!"

"Oh, hehe, okay, since that's the case, let's go!" Xu Yuansheng didn't expect that Xiahou Ming would also bring his juniors here, but when he turned his head and thought about it, aren't he and Wang Tai the same! Thinking of this, Xu Yuansheng glanced at Wang Tai beside him, and didn't know what he was doing in his heart!

"Big brother, look, Wang Yu and Xu Ziming, the leaders of the Wang family and the Xu family, are here, and Wang Hai, Wang Yiming, Xu Zifang, and Xu Zifeng are also here!

"Yes, it looks like there's going to be a good show later!Let's go, it's time to set off after a while!" As soon as Xia Ye finished speaking, he heard Xia Houming say: "Everyone in the Xia family rushed to the Red Leaf Forest at full speed after listening to the order!" After speaking, he first ran in the direction of the Red Leaf Forest.

Xia Yang and the four of them glanced at each other, "Big brother, third brother, Xue'er, let's go!" Xia Yang said.

"Okay, let's go!" Xia Ye finished speaking, and rode forward first. Xia Yang and the three followed.

In order to avoid suspicion, the Xu and Wang families also separately marched towards the Red Leaf Forest.

Two hours later, Xia Yang and others came to a huge forest, it was autumn at this time, the red leaf forest in front of them was like an endless red ocean, such a beautiful scenery attracted many tourists, but under this beauty is hidden many dangers, Xia Yang and others can faintly hear the terrible and violent beast roar from the depths of the red leaf forest.

Xia Yang frowned slightly, and secretly said in his heart that it was worthy of the Red Leaf Forest, and he had already felt a chilling aura before he entered. Thinking of this, Xia Yang turned around and glanced at Xia Ye and Xia Yuan beside him, and found that both of them also had a divine light in their eyes, thinking that they also had the same thoughts as themselves. Now Xia Yang didn't know that he would return to this place soon and what he had experienced

"Is this the Red Leaf Forest? It's so big! When are we going to go in?" I can't wait now!" Xia Yuan said with a bang, as if this was the backyard of the Xia family, allowing him to come and go freely!

"Xia Yuan, don't mess around!" Xia Ye said unhappily, Xia Ye really didn't know what to say to this younger brother, his kind of character would cause trouble sooner or later, thinking of this, Xia Ye looked at Xia Yuan and saw that Xia Yuan was also looking at him, and immediately glared at him.

Xia Yuan pursed his lips and whispered: "I'm just talking about it, why are you so fierce!"

"Xia Yuan, what did you say?" Xia Ye asked unhappily.

"Hehe, it's nothing, big brother, when are we going to go in?" Xia Yuan shrunk his head and said with a smile.

"Don't worry about Xia Yuan, don't you see that my father is discussing with the people of the Xu and Wang families! I think that the three major families will not search together, they will definitely divide the area and search separately!" Xia Yang glanced at his father and said to the three of them.

"Well, Xia Yang is right, if the three major families search together, it will definitely be a waste of time, and we all know that the three major families are quite harmonious on the surface, and they have already been tense for a long time, if it leads to friction now, it will not benefit anyone!" Xia Ye also said.

"Yes, I just don't know which direction our Xia family will search?" Xia Yang couldn't help but say as he looked at the red leaf forest in front of him.

Xia Ye and the three of them looked at the Red Leaf Forest at the same time.
