"Bang bang." Hall Master Zheng of the Master Hall was infected by Ximen Yu's righteousness and couldn't help but applauded: "Well said, what we in the Eastern God Realm lack most is a young man like you who has both strength and virtue."
"Master, you praise me too much."
"No, that's indeed the case. Anyway, I look forward to your triumphant return."
"Thank you, Hall Master." Ximenyu and others said in unison.
"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, remember to gather here. We will hold a practice ceremony for you."
"Yes, Hall Master."
"Well, I have nothing to do here. See you tomorrow."
So Ximenyu and others left the Master Hall.
"Ximen Yu, remember the decisive battle after everyone gathers. Don't die in the Demon Mountain before the time comes."
"Don't worry, I haven't defeated you yet, how can I die? Besides, I'm not even close to death, let alone the demon mountains." Ximen Yu said with a smile.
"Huh, that's best." Liu Chong left after saying that.
Ximenyu looked at his back and thought to himself: "Does Liu Chong know something? Otherwise, why would he remind me in such a subtle way?"
"Ximen Yu, what you just said really touched me. It is indeed our unshirkable responsibility to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, especially for a top master like you, who has an even greater responsibility, so I look forward to it
Your performance in the Demon Mountains." Zhuang Yan said with a smile.
"The master of the village is so ridiculous. Just now you signed your name on the order of departure without hesitation. This spirit of disregarding life and death makes me admire you even more." Ximen Yu responded with a smile.
"Haha, each other. I have something else to do. See you tomorrow. Say goodbye."
"Farewell."
After Zhuang Yan walked away, Ximenyu's smile gradually faded.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. It seems it's time to understand the truth. We can't just let others slaughter it like fish on the chopping board." Ximenyu decided.
Half an hour later, the Fire Tavern.
"Senior Ximen, hello, how can I help you?" The waiter in the tavern obviously knew Ximen Yu. After all, Ximen Yu's reputation now resounds throughout the Xuan Temple. Seeing Ximen Yu come to their tavern again, he quickly greeted him
road.
"Hello, I'm looking for your supervisor Bai." Ximenyu said straight to the point.
"Director Bai, he left three days ago."
"Oh, do you know where he went?"
"This kid didn't ask. Anyway, I haven't seen him in the past three days."
"Did anything unusual happen in your tavern in the past three days?"
"Abnormal thing?" The waiter recalled and shook his head: "It seems not."
"Think more carefully." Ximenyu continued to ask.
"Oh, I remembered. After Director Bai left, our hotel owner came here once, but he left again after not staying long. You know, our hotel owner rarely shows up."
"Then who is in charge of your pub these days?"
"Oh, Deputy Manager Chen is in charge."
"Okay, thank you." Ximenyu thanked him.
"It's okay, Senior Ximen is too polite."
"Farewell." Then Ximenyu left the tavern.
"Could Supervisor Bai's sudden departure have something to do with Master Zhuang Yan? Supervisor Bai is Master Zhuang's favorite disciple and has always been deeply trusted. But now he left quietly. He also reminded himself before leaving, but it didn't work.
I didn't tell myself where he got the information from, but now it seems that it is most likely related to his master. Could it be that the person who wants to murder me is the master of the village?" Ximenyu kept guessing on the way back.
"No, I have no interaction with him, let alone any grudge. Moreover, his strength is equal to Liu Chong, so he has no confidence that he can defeat me, so it shouldn't be him. Even if it is him, he is just an accomplice at most, no
It could be the main culprit, but who could it be?" Ximen Yu was puzzled.
"Forget it, no matter who it is, I just need to be more careful. Besides, I also have the unique skill of passing formation. It might not be that easy for others to take the opportunity to murder me." After Ximenyu thought about it, he decided not to.
Don't worry about it anymore, just let nature take its course.
Soon Ximenyu returned to Nangong Xi’s Tenth Grade Divine Master Academy.
"How is it, junior brother, does the Master Hall want you to go on an expedition?" Nangong Xi asked anxiously.
"Well, it's confirmed, the order of departure has been signed." Ximenyu nodded in response.
"Then who is going with you?"
"Liu Chong and Zhuang Yan."
"Is it them?" Nangong Xi frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"They are currently the most powerful among the main divine masters, and your strength is not inferior to them, so the team sent by the Xuan Temple this time is very strong, which shows that this task must be very difficult."
"Brother Ximen, where are you going to slay demons?" Yang Ke asked.
"Devil Mountain."
"What? Demonic Mountains!" Nangong Xi, Yang Ke, and Wei Ji trembled when they heard this.
"Why are you so surprised? Are the Demon Mountains really that scary?"
"Brother, the Demon Mountain is where the top ten demons gather. The monsters inside are very powerful and often invade the human race near the Demon Mountain. The Eastern God Realm has sent out heavenly soldiers and generals dozens of times, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, but still nothing can be done.
Kill them cleanly. Now you are sent out, well, it is really worrying, because senior brother, you not only have to kill the enemy head-on, but you also have to be careful about the black hands behind the scenes." Wei Ji said worriedly.
"Yes, brother Ximen, can you not go?" Yang Ke really didn't want to be worried anymore. What would they do if something happened to Ximen Yu?
"Don't worry, I, Ximenyu, am not an ordinary god. Whether it's a monster or the mastermind behind it, it's not that easy to kill me." Ximenyu comforted me.
"But avoid these potential risks if you can. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous in this cruel world of cultivating gods." Yang Ke advised.
"Having said that, it's too late. Since my junior brother has signed the order to leave, the temple master has no right to interfere." Nangong Xi sighed.
"What about my father?" Wei Ji asked.
"The emperor naturally has rights, but this damages the emperor's prestige." Nangong Xi replied.
"As long as I can get my senior brother's safety, I will beg my father." Wei Ji said without hesitation.
"Junior sister, please don't do this. I don't want to be a person who breaks his word and is greedy for life and afraid of death, so please stop talking. I must go to the Demon Mountain." Ximen Yu said firmly.
"Oh, okay." Yang Ke and the others knew that it would be difficult to change Ximen Yu's decision, but the worry in their hearts was still visible on their faces.
"Okay, don't worry about it, because I still have a unique way to defend myself." Ximenyu said with a smile. At this point, Ximenyu still plans not to hide it from them anymore. After all, they can learn from their deep love for him.
