The night breeze is blowing, and the leaves in the mountains and forests rustle.

A team of eight people was like spiders, quietly moving quickly through the mountains and forests, all wearing black night clothes, looking like a fast-moving black smoke from a distance.

Suddenly, the two monks at the front of the line suddenly stopped, and the monks behind hurriedly stopped and looked at the monks in front.

After seeing the monk in front of him make the gesture of "rest in place", the rest of the group relaxed. One person at the end of the line, in particular, whispered to the monk in front of him, "You will keep watch for me for a while!" and sat down on the ground and began to gasp for breath.

The monk in front glanced back at the other man, didn't say anything, and silently walked to a nearby higher ground, hiding behind a rock, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

Seeing the other party's obedient appearance, the monk who was sitting on the ground panting for breath was very proud.

The four monks in the middle of the group also showed a tired look on their faces, and hurriedly took advantage of this time to meditate and recover their strength, only the two at the front of the team were in the best condition.

The monk hidden in the high ground was also concerned about the situation of the other members of the team as he observed his surroundings. From his piercing eyes, it can be seen that this person is not tired. With the faint moonlight, I could see clearly that this person was Xiao An.

The two monks at the front of the team were the team leader and the deputy team leader in charge of the operation, and at this time, a map was open in front of the two of them, and they were discussing something in a low voice. Xiao An is no stranger to these two, one is Zhao Liang, and the other is named Su Qinghai.

This Su Qinghai is the little fat man who also started the "reselling task".

Now these two people are both Qi refining seventh-level consummatory cultivation, and they are the two people with the highest cultivation in this team, and Su Qinghai is Zhao Liang's deputy in this operation.

The four people who were meditating in the middle of the team were monks who entered the sect at the same time as Xiao An, but in the past few days of forming the team, they had not seen Xiao An with a straight eye at all, who had only cultivated to the sixth level of qi refining.

However, although the cultivation of these people had reached the seventh layer of qi refining, the spiritual power in their bodies was no different from that of the monks who had just entered the seventh layer of qi refining. It's not that these people have just reached the seventh layer of qi refining, but that after these people enter the seventh layer of qi refining, their cultivation can no longer be refined, but this does not prevent these people from putting on a high-spirited appearance in front of Xiao An.

The monk who was sitting on the ground panting was named Yang Chengye, and although he entered the sect six years later than Xiao An, his cultivation was the same as Xiao An's, both of them were sixth-level peak Qi refining cultivators, and his cultivation speed was staggeringly fast.

However, the four Qi Refining Seventh-Layer cultivators had secretly discussed this person, and Xiao An also knew that this person was from a small immortal cultivation family, not only was his cultivation time several years earlier than Xiao An and the others, but his cultivation was "born" by relying on the family's continuous provision of various cultivation resources.

Yang Chengye is extremely clever, and in the past few days, he has figured out the situation of his teammates, and knows that except for the team leader and deputy team leader, the other people are all people who have no future in cultivation, so he looks down on these teammates from the bottom of his heart.

This person didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the seventh-layer Qi refining cultivator, but he had no scruples about Xiao An, who was also a sixth-layer Qi refining cultivator. Originally, it was Yang Chengye's turn to be in charge of vigilance during this break, but just now this person deliberately asked Xiao An to replace him, which was to test Xiao An's attitude.

Xiao An and the others have been "galloping" around the clock in this remote mountain forest for three days, only knowing that their current location has entered the territory of the Wuji Sect, but they still don't know the location and mission content of this time.

Xiao An was a little helpless, if he had gone out a little earlier that day, he would not have been "caught".

Not long after Xiao An and the others set off, a monk in Qishifang City also sneaked out and walked in the direction of the Wuji Sect.

In the end, Xiao An and the others stopped at the foot of a mountain, where a total of seven teams gathered, and six of them stood aside and waited silently.

Xiao An's team is also one of these six teams, these teams are all composed of ordinary disciples in the sect, and the strength of Xiao An's team is the weakest.

Among them, the strongest team, the team leader and the deputy team are all ninth-level Qi refining monks, and the team members are all Qi refining eighth-level monks. It's a pity that everyone is wearing black face scarves now, only showing their two eyes, and it is forbidden to talk between different teams, and Xiao An doesn't know if there are acquaintances inside.

"Could it be that the Cangyue faction is going to start an all-out war against the Wuji faction, right?" Xiao Anxin thought to himself, but then denied the idea.

The reason is very simple, the Xuanjian Sect will definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen. Nowadays, among the several local sects, the Xuanjian Sect is the dominant family. If the Cangyue Sect annexes the Wuji Sect, its strength will swell rapidly, although it will not be able to shake the position of the "boss" of the Xuanjian Sect, but it will also make the Xuanjian Sect act with scruples.

Another reason why Xiao An denied it was that there were no foundation building period monks in the team, and they obviously "abided" by the rules of the Xuanjian Sect.

Hundreds of years ago, the Xuanjian Sect had drawn a line of friction for several other sects: it was strictly forbidden for monks who had cultivated at or above the foundation building period to participate in disputes between sects, otherwise the Xuanjian Sect would wipe them out.

At the front of these six teams, there were also thirty or forty monks, these monks had a chilling murderous aura on them, and they knew that they must be dark hall monks without asking.

At this time, seven or eight Dark Hall monks were arranging array plates and array flags in different positions in the open space in front of them. When the men were arranged, a ball of light about two or three feet tall slowly lit up above the clearing.

At the same time, a light yellow curtain of light gradually appeared in front of the ball of light, and this light curtain was covered with huge patterns, which seemed to be a very small part of some patterns, as if only a small corner of it had been printed from an extremely large instrument.

The light yellow light curtain is much larger than the previous light ball, both are circular in shape, and the light ball is facing the center of the light yellow light curtain.

The ball of light slowly approached the light yellow light curtain and gradually attached to the surface of the light yellow light curtain. Under the control of the Dark Monk, it didn't take long for the ball of light to start from the center and begin to melt rapidly, like snowflakes under the scorching sun, and the speed of melting became faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, the ball of light vanished, and as the ball disappeared, a hole of the same size as the ball appeared in the pale yellow curtain.

The image seen through this hole on the other side is completely different from what you see around the hole. It's as if a landscape painting has been gouged out of a hole, and a completely mismatched landscape painting has been filled in the hole.

At this time, everyone realized that the entire mountain peak was shrouded in a huge formation, and even the mountains that everyone saw were transformed into a large formation.

About half an hour later, six teams in the clearing also entered under the leadership of the Dark Hall Monk.

The person who led the way led everyone around and around to avoid many prohibitions, and after a while, everyone came to a luxurious mansion, and the plaque above the gate of the mansion reads "Xu Mansion" two big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.

Everyone waited outside the mansion for more than an hour before the door of the Xu Mansion was opened from the inside.

Behind the gate of the mansion was a wide field, where more than forty monks with panicked faces were standing. And among this group of monks, a middle-aged monk with a calm expression was particularly conspicuous.

Around the wide field stood more than a dozen monks of the dark hall with their swords and swords unsheathed, and these forty or so monks were firmly guarded.

After Xiao An followed the team into the mansion, he saw the middle-aged monk with a calm expression at first sight, and when he saw this person's face clearly, Xiao An's first reaction was: Impossible!

Just as Xiao Anxin's thoughts were surging, a ninth-level Qi refining Dark Hall monk suddenly walked up to the middle-aged monk, "Master Xu, we are Cangyue Sect monks, and we are here to save you today on the orders of the head of the sect!"

The middle-aged monk stared into the other party's eyes and asked cautiously, "Are you here to save us, or are you here to kill us?"

"If I want to kill you, do you need so many people?" said the dark hall monk as he spoke, pointing at the monks of the Cangyue Sect around him.

With the means of the dark hall monks, if you only plan to slaughter the Xu family, only twenty or thirty monks are enough. At this time, nearly a hundred Cangyue sect monks had gathered in the courtyard, so naturally they were not here to kill.

"Master Xu, Master He knows that you are also forced to be helpless, so before you come, I specially told you to make your intentions clear first.

Master He's original words were: Four years ago, the Wuji Sect monk disguised himself as you and killed my Cangyue Sect disciple. My Cangyue faction remembered this hatred on the Wuji faction, and sacrificed the heroes of my Cangyue faction for this with more than 40 lives of the Wuji faction. This matter is over, and I will not anger your Xu family. ”

The middle-aged monk nodded when he heard this, completely relieved, and turned around to whisper a few words, and the panic on the faces of the group of people gradually disappeared.

Xiao Anxin, who was on the side, also understood, it turned out that he killed a Xibei commodity that year.

At this time, Xiao An still didn't know that if he hadn't happened to save Zhou Huzi, I am afraid that the several major immortal cultivation families in Qishifang City would have been wiped out long ago.

And under the influence of this matter, the Cangyue faction believed the news of the fine work, and finally made a plan to besiege and kill more than forty shadow hall monks of the Wuji faction, and dealt a heavy blow to the Wuji faction in one fell swoop.

Before being sent to the courtyard, the Xu family monk underwent a careful inspection, and whether it was the storage bag or the magic utensils he carried, they were all put away by the monk of the dark hall.

And the monks of the Xu family were forced to swallow an elixir that could imprison the spiritual power in their bodies before, and they were no different from mortals at this time.

At this time, there were many dark monks coming out of some rooms, all holding all kinds of storage bags in their hands, and they actually searched the Xu family's residence in such a short period of time.

The dark hall monk led by him seemed to be very familiar with the members of the Xu family, and divided the members of the Xu family into six groups according to their importance in the family.

The Xu family master and several clansmen with the most powerful refining weapons were divided into a group, and the Cangyue faction's team with the highest cultivation "escorted" the Xu family master and the others out of here.

When there were only a few Xu family monks left in servant clothes, the only team of "escorts" was Xiao An.

Just as Zhao Liang was about to lead everyone forward to escort the Xu family monk away, a dark hall monk suddenly walked over and pulled Zhao Liang aside and whispered a few words.

Then the dark hall monk hurriedly left here, and only a few servants of the Xu family and Zhao Liang and others were left in the entire courtyard.

At Zhao Liang's signal, Xiao An and the others stepped forward to surround the Xu family in the middle and escorted a few people outside.

At this time, it was Su Qinghai who took the lead, and the rest of the people were distributed around the Xu family, while Zhao Liang stood still and watched the Xu family walk past him, seemingly planning to break off.

When an elderly monk of the Xu family walked past Zhao Liang, he suddenly tilted his body and fell to the ground, and was hugged by Zhao Liang.

At this time, the old man's face was burnt yellow, like gold paper. Zhao Liang hurriedly took out a bottle of elixir from his arms, poured out a pill from it, and stuffed it into the old man's mouth.

"Wait a minute, and I'll help the old man go inside to rest. After speaking, Zhao Liang helped the old man who was about to fall into a coma and walked towards the house on the side.

In less than a cup of tea, Zhao Liang returned to the team with the old man, although the old man's face was still a little ugly, but he was already able to keep up with the pace of everyone.

When Xiao An and the others passed through the circular hole again, they found that the vast majority of the Dark Hall monks were still here. Zhao Liangzhi wanted to leave quickly with everyone, but suddenly saw two monks escorting a monk and walking towards the dark hall monk led by him.

When the Dark Hall Monk at the head saw the faces of the people who came, he said in surprise, "Master Han, what are you doing here?"
