Huo Xu gradually adjusted to the darkness in the tunnel.

Without lighting or buttresses, he navigated the deep tunnels with ease.

The light seemed to be constantly brightened with the passing of the hour, and he was like a night walker at dawn, although he could not have an unobstructed view of his surroundings, but with all his eyes, he could still make out the general outline of the tunnel, and even vaguely saw the straight tunnel suddenly showing a curved arc.

The smooth stone walls emitted a hazy cold light, like a faint starlight cast by a vast galaxy.

Turning the corner, the front suddenly opened up, and the open area with a little light and shadow flashed was a secret cave deep in the mountain!

On the side of the cave, another hole appeared, and inside the hole, the lights were bright.

"Who?"

In the midst of the shouting, a figure with his back to the lamp, quickly swept out of the entrance of the cave, and suspended at the top of the cave, wearing a purple robe and a ball of purple light into Huo Xu's eyes.

It was a middle-aged man in his thirties, a star Yuanlie, with a thoughtful appearance, but his calm eyes revealed deep hostility.

At the moment before casting the Floating Light Illusion Pole, Huo Xu dispelled the idea of instantaneous body and said with a smile: "Judging by the direction, this is probably the Mu Clan's secret vault, Your Excellency, I don't know who is the Mu Deputy Alliance Master?" ”

Seeing that the person who came was a black-robed young man, looking harmless to humans and animals, the middle-aged man slowly landed, his face softened, but he didn't say anything.

"Third brother, who is here?" A female voice came from the cave.

Catching a glimpse of the four red bars on the chest of Huo Xu's robe, the middle-aged man looked shocked and replied, "It's a young Yuanshi, it seems to have some background." ”

"Yo!"

With a soft sigh, a middle-aged woman walked out of the cave quickly, looked at Huo Xu with the light reflected on her face, was stunned, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "You are ······ Huoxu! ”

Lou Yu?!

Of course, Huo Xu knew Mu Hua's wife Lou Ming, and not long ago in the Shui Manor, he had pretended to be an experienced old man, and made the five-star Yuan Master Lou Ying angry.

No, there is an extra three-pointed star on the white robe, and she is now a six-star master!

"Oh, it turned out to be Mrs. Mu, hello." Huo Xu said with an ignorant face.

"Xiao Xu, it's strange to say, you and I haven't met in the past three years, but the way you look now, why do I always feel like I just met not long ago?" Squinting slightly, Lou Yu said with a slight confusion.

Touching his chin, Huo Xu snorted haha: "Hehe, Huo Xu can appear in Mrs.'s dream, how fortunate it is!" ”

"Giggle······ It's fun to talk to a little boy! Lou Ying was in a good mood, but he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: This kid is drilling around in the cave alone, what does he want to do?

"Presumably, the Fire Clan's secret vault is also penetrated by the tunnel, right?" She asked, seemingly nonchalantly.

"Madame's words are very true." Huo Xu asked rhetorically: "The newly dug tunnel, and there is a cave mansion in the tunnel, the entire Moshan has become the residence of uninvited guests, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"It's okay." Lou Ying said calmly: "All parties in the alliance are puzzled by the new caves and caves here, and no one knows what they are made of, but it doesn't matter whether it is providential or artificial, the important thing is that I have taken someone to count it, and there are many collections in the library." ”

No less than the same? Huo Xu became more and more confused.

Digging a hole to build a mansion here, not seeking money, and not because of coveting the secret treasures and techniques of the Five Clans, so what is the purpose of such a time-consuming and laborious hole for uninvited guests?

Just to get a place to live without seeing the light of day? It's ridiculous to think about!

"The Fire Clan's vault was originally empty, and it wasn't stolen." Huo Xu muttered.

Lou Ying smiled back with a slight mockery.

"Madame, do you know if the other three clans' vaults are intact?" Huo Xu asked again.

Lou Ying smiled, this time he really said casually: "The Moshan secret vault of the Shui clan and the Feng clan has long been abandoned, and their treasury is afraid that it is emptier than the secret vault of the Fire clan, so the two clans don't care about the strange things in Moshan at all, and they don't care whether the treasury is stolen or not."

As for the Tie Clan, a group of strong men and Yuan Shi arrived at the scene almost at the same time as the Mu Clan's people, and their treasury was three hundred meters away in front of the Cave Mansion, and there had been no movement until now, presumably they had not found anything abnormal. ”

The lights at the entrance of the cave suddenly faded, and several figures came out.

When the figure moved away and the lights were turned on again, Huo Xu turned his head and saw that there were five more men and two women on Lou Yuan's side, a total of seven strong people, two of whom were old senior Yuan Lie, and five of them were young low-level Yuan Masters.

The two old Yuan Lie faces, and the five young Yuan Masters were good-looking, Huo Xu thought about it, and found that those five people were all Mu Clan's Nine Duan Yuan Scholars, and they had obviously just broken through not long ago, and all of them had become new Yuan Masters.

His eyes swept over the purple-robed middle-aged man, the two elderly senior Yuan Lies, and the five newly promoted Yuan Masters, and Huo Xu couldn't help but be slightly shocked in his heart: "Ho, this lineup is in the Five Clans Alliance, it's quite good!" ”

Lou Ying stared vigilantly at Huo Xu's light face, and said slowly: "Huo Xu, you are extremely talented, and you defeated the top young man in Beihai in one fell swoop, won the crown of Her Royal Highness the Empress, and even had the honor to climb Lingyin Mountain to meet Emperor Kangjing, which can be described as a famous capital!"

With this opportunity, when you become an adult, it is logical that you will officially become the leader of the Five Clans Alliance. ”

These words are full of temptation, however, Huo Xu is not worried about this kind of temptation, in the final analysis, the Mu family's backer is only Gu Lin Mangyu, and Mu Hua can be called a human spirit, he has experienced a lot of drama when selecting competing players, from the words and deeds of Gu Lin Mangyu at that time, it is not difficult for him to understand how the Mu family should treat Huo Xu.

Therefore, in front of the strong man of the Mu clan, Huo Xu is safe.

Madame laughed. Huo Xu said with a smile: "On the day of the winter test, I will participate in the second make-up test, and after the end, my name will be entered into the roster of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion.

I overheard Zongren's Mansion Zongzheng's evaluation of the Wood Deputy Alliance Master, which is quite high! Mr. Zongzheng said that the deputy leader of the Mu Alliance is thoughtful and quick-witted, and he is up to the task. ”

"Giggle······ Lou Yu's smiling face was like a flower, and her eyes were shining, "Xiao Xu, the Five Clans Alliance has declined, and the people's hearts have also dispersed, if you want strength or not, if you want financial resources or not, even if you become the leader of the alliance, what can you do?" After all, he is a last-rate sect master, and he can't make much of a climate.

And the name of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion, relying on the great court, can rely on the strength of the good wind, over time, why not worry about the grand exhibition! ”

Huo Xu nodded again and again.

Smiling and beckoning the eight strong men to approach, Lou Ying introduced them one by one: "This is my younger brother Lou Wei; These are two seniors of the Mu family who have been traveling abroad for decades and have just returned to the family; These five you should know, so I won't introduce them.

Oh, this is the legendary young Huo Xu from the Fire Clan, and you must have heard that his two fights were so amazing that they caused a sensation in Lofe City.

Fan Mu clan strong, Yuan Shi, Yuan Shao, in the future, be sure to treat Huo Xu well, don't treat him as an outsider! ”

"Yes, ma'am." The eight powerhouses responded in unison, and turned to salute Huo Xu: "Huo Gongzi, fortunately." ”

"Fortunately." Huo Xu said.

Miscellaneous footsteps sounded in the Mu's warehouse.

More than forty Yuan Shao Hulala rushed out of the cave, and Mu Lu in front of him shouted in surprise: "Huo Xu, it turned out to be you!" ”

Catching a glimpse of a large group of former classmates, Huo Xu smiled: "Ho, good guys, I didn't expect you to be in the secret vault too!" If I had known this, I should have called you out to meet earlier. ”

The group of Mu clan Yuan was a little flattered and laughed in unison.

A girl named Mu Qian glanced at Huo Xu quickly, and then lowered her head slightly shyly and smiled: "The winter test is coming, today is the Imperial Statutory Yuan Shao Detachment Day, so all of our Mu Clan's sixth, seventh, and eighth Yuan Shao are here." ”

What is the legal Yuan Shao Mengmeng Day? It was really a word to wake up the dreamer, Huo Xu hurriedly smiled back, "Such a coincidence? I'm here too! ”

Every year on the penultimate day before the winter exam, it is the legal day of the empire to get rid of the Yuanshao, on this day, the Yuanshao of the empire above the sixth level will be under the leadership of the strong people of their own clan or family, with secondary exercises, techniques to replace the enlightenment exercises, techniques, so it is called "Mengmeng".

Generally speaking, the ninth-level Yuan Shao and the new Yuan Shi were all out of the Ming Dynasty last year, so Mu Sen was not among the Yuan Shao in this group.

And Huo Xu and his cousin Huo Fu are a little sad, they went to Huo Jing last year and asked to get rid of it, but Huo Jing excused him for a perfunctory reason.

However, he and his cousin are also considered to be good things, and they can be exempted from restrictions when entering the warehouse today, and the techniques they have obtained are actually far superior to the advanced techniques of the secondary ones.

Hearing that Huo Xu was here to take off the blindness, Lou Yu suddenly waved away the last trace of doubt in his heart, and instructed with concern: "Xiao Xu, don't look at it, no one can understand these caves and caves, anyway, the five clans have not suffered losses, just treat it as some kind of natural phenomenon, go back." ”

Huo Xu is not as big-hearted as Lou Yuan, if he doesn't find some clues, how can he give up lightly?

So, Huo Xu found an excuse that was quite synergistic: "Madam Mu, I still want to go to the Tie Clan's secret vault to have a look." ”

Lou Yu's eyes were slightly condensed, and between the deep groans, a deep meaning gradually floated in her eyes, she lowered her voice, and said almost in an encouraging tone: "It is said that the Tie Clan's treasury is quite spectacular, and there are many priceless treasures, and there are mysterious people of unknown origin over there, which is indeed worth seeing!" ”

When Huo Xu said goodbye to everyone and turned around and walked out of Zhangyuan, Lou Yu hurriedly waved his hand to signal everyone to silence, and quietly returned to the warehouse through the hole.

Without looking back, Huo Xu could smell the strange smell in the air.

The kind of cautious machine that longs to do something so that he can leave Jiangdong behind has long appeared in Lou Yuan's eyes.

"Woman, it's too emotional, and the scene of the arch fire is almost hot!"

Secretly sighing, he pursed his lips and sneered, and then walked away, his eyes searching back and forth in every corner of the cave or lingering for a long time.

He tracks the trail of ghosts and is always ready to dance with wolves.

The lights in front were brilliant, and a tall figure stood under the light, and the eyes that flickered with light looked directly at the fire that was getting closer and closer.

It's the Iron Lion!

Without flinching or fear, Huoxu strode forward.
