"Whew~~~"

Xia Mo let out a long sigh of relief, sat on the bow of the boat, and reached out to wipe the big beads of sweat on his forehead.

Just now, in order to quickly slide the boat and stay away from danger, he cultivated to be fully open, regardless of whether his internal strength would run out, he rowed the oars in one go, and escaping was more important than anything else.

It is estimated that it is now ten miles away from the island, and it should be safe to rest for a while.

While panting, Xia Mo took out the porcelain bottle and muttered: "It turns out that this is not a spirit bead, but a whale's inner pill, which can also help cultivation to improve." ”

"This outing, although I failed to make a breakthrough in cultivation, but I got these nine treasures, which is also a great opportunity. According to what the old man said, after using up these nine inner pills, I should be able to reach the nine-star martial artist. ”

"When the time comes, even if the ancestor of the City Lord's Mansion comes out, I have nothing to fear. The Liuyun Sect is destined to become the number one force in Tianxie City!"

Originally, Xia Mo wanted to digest a whale Neidan first to see the effect. But in the end, he held back and continued to row forward.

After being deceived, the old man who exorcised the demon must have been furious. If he catches him, there is no chance of survival, and he will die a terrible death.

Although there is a certain distance from the island now, if the old man of the exorcist goes crazy and finds a boat to chase after the dead wood, then this distance cannot be regarded as a barrier.

Therefore, it is the safest way to go ashore first. When the time comes, even if the old man who exorcises the demons will chase him, there is no way to look for it, after all, he doesn't know what Xia Mo's identity is.

In addition, the time of going out is uncertain, and Xia Mo has to hurry back to Tianxie City. There, there are still junior brothers and sisters waiting for them to go back.

Fortunately, the old man didn't lie, the coast was not too far, and when the sun was in the west, Xia Mo successfully reached the coast and returned to land.

When leaving the sea, Xia Mo waved his backhand, and powerful internal energy gushed out from his palm, smashing the wooden boat, floating in the sea water into pieces of wood slag, and soon dispersed with the waves.

Xia Mo looked around and found that there was a seaside town about five miles away, and the fishermen who had returned from fishing were taking back the harvest with their families, which was also very lively.

Immediately, he turned his head to look at the sea, and after making sure that the old man was not chasing, he went around the coast, entered the hill, and walked towards the town below.

The town is not big, but it is very neatly built, square, and the length and width are about three miles.

The houses in the town are almost the same style, all made of wood, and most of them are two-storey buildings. The first floor is used to store things, and the second floor is occupied by people.

At this time, the streets were full of people, many of whom were martial arts cultivators. Therefore, Xia Mo's arrival did not attract people's attention and avoided a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Xia Mo walked slowly along the street, and finally chose a small tavern to sit down, asked for a pot of wine and a few side dishes, and ate and drank alone.

However, he had opened his mind and listened to the discussions of the people around him in order to get the news he wanted.

Sure enough, the restaurant is the quickest place to get the news. As soon as Xia Mo sat down, he heard the other diners at the table discussing the recent events one by one.

"Have you ever heard that Tianxie City released the news that the conditions for this year's Wukui Competition have been relaxed?"

"Of course, I heard rumors, saying that no matter what kind of force, as long as it is in the jurisdiction of Tianxie City, it can select fifty three-star martial artists or above, and they can participate. ”

"Yes, in this way, many forces are eligible to participate. Although we are a casual cultivator, we can also go and see the excitement. ”

"I also heard a strong news, the City Lord's Mansion sent someone to Jianghai to help propose marriage a few days ago, wanting the young city lord Xiao Ye to take Huang Xiaoshan. However, it seems that the Jianghai Gang did not agree, and the two forces have another layer of estrangement. ”

"Your news is not very exciting, I have even more exciting ones. Do you know? The City Lord's Mansion has already said that in this Martial Arts Competition, as long as any force can get the fifth place, it will be able to take over the original territory of the Liuyun Sect and become the new fifth major force. ”

"I seem to have heard that all the personnel of the Liuyun Sect have disappeared and disappeared, and they have been removed from Tianxie City. The territory they rule over is now empty. ”

"Not only that, but the four major forces also issued a hunt and kill order at the same time, saying that they wanted to kill the traitors who disappeared with the Liuyun Sect. ”

"Hey, I thought Xia Mo could support the Liuyun Sect, but it seems that he is still too weak. One of the four geniuses, I think it's blown out, is a weak person at all. ”

"It's just that he must be a coward, he didn't dare to face this year's competition, and then ran away with the people of the sect. If I see this coward, I'll break his neck!"

"Don't say it, hurry up and eat and rest, and continue to travel tomorrow. The Wukui competition will be held in three days, and you have to find a good position to see the most exciting competition. ”

Listening to these people's discussions, Xia Mo finally put some of the stones hanging in his heart.

There is no rumor that anyone has been killed, which proves that the younger brothers and sisters are not in danger.

It's just that they should have all left the sect in order to avoid the search of the four major forces, and now they can't be sure where they are.

Of course, there are still three days before the Wukui Tournament will be held, and everything will be in time.

As for those who said behind their backs that they couldn't do it, Xia Mo didn't bother to care. Human nature is like this, you can't try to shut everyone's mouth.

When settling the wine money, Xia Mo inquired about the direction of Tianxie City from the shopkeeper by the way, and hurried overnight.

The shopkeeper was not suspicious, after all, there were many scattered cultivators who wanted to go to Tianxie City to see the excitement, especially in the past two days, there were not a few people who asked for directions, which was normal.

It was night, Xia Mo was hurrying under the bright moon, and he was walking in the mountains and forests, so as not to be discovered by the old man who had been exorcisted.

A white shadow galloped through the lofty mountains, and finally reached the periphery of the Liuyun Sect at dawn.

Xia Mo slowed down his pace and turned on his divine sense, slowly entering the sect while probing for lurkers.

Fortunately, no one was found lurking along the way, and it was a smooth arrival.

At this time, the sect was no longer the lively scene it used to be, it seemed extremely cold, and there was no sound at all. Moreover, grass grew everywhere, like ruins.

Xia Mo was very heartbroken and very guilty. But more than that, I am very relieved by the patience of my younger brothers and sisters.

Then, Xia Mo entered his residence through the secret passage, opened the secret door again, and walked towards the secret room to see if the eighth junior brother and the little junior sister were still inside.

The secret room is extremely hidden, and there are many mechanisms along the way, so it is impossible for those who are not familiar with it to find the entrance. Even if you are lucky enough to find it, there is a high chance that you will die under the trap.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the dark passage, Xia Mo's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be seen that the four major forces, under mutual vigilance, did not search the Liuyun faction on a large scale.

After all, they all firmly believe that the baby has been taken away by the traitor who did not return from that night's attack, and there is no need to do useless work.

It's a pity that none of them know that the so-called traitor has already died under Xia Mo's sword, and there is not even a single skeleton left.

Xia Mo walked towards the stone door of the secret room, and the sound of footsteps sounded in the secret passage.

At the same time, he lowered his voice and whispered: "Eighth Senior Brother, Little Senior Sister, are you still inside?"

"Senior brother!

In Wen Xinyue's exclamation, the stone door immediately opened, and a petite figure flew out of it.

"Senior brother, senior brother, you are finally back!"

Wen Xinyue shouted, and at the same time opened her arms and rushed towards Xia Mo.

Xia Mo stretched out his hand to greet Wen Xinyue, and looked at the secret room in a daze, his face full of horror.

He never imagined that what appeared in his eyes would be such a scene.
