"Yes, Grandpa!" Yinyue opened her mouth several times, and finally swallowed back her original words.
Just when Patriarch Ao Xiao wanted to talk to his granddaughter about something more, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned his head and looked at the gate.
As a result, after a while, footsteps sounded, and a young maid appeared outside the door and spoke respectfully.
"Replying to your lord, there are two elders from this island coming to see you!"
"Oh, they are not slow in their movements. Let them come in." Ancestor Ao Xiao's expression softened, and he nodded and ordered.
The maid naturally agreed and took the order before going out.
After a while, the man named Xu and the white-haired old man came in from outside. When they saw Ancestor Ao Xiao, they immediately came forward to greet him.
"Greetings to senior. I wonder if there is anything that senior needs to do this time." The man with a fair face asked solemnly.
"There's no rush. You two should sit down and talk first." Ancestor Ao Xiao smiled and pointed his finger at the chair next to him.
This demon, one man and two men, naturally did not dare to go against Ao Xiao's wishes. After thanking him, he sat down on both sides of the demon.
"Both of you seem to have some connection with me. One is an old friend from back then, and the other is a named disciple of fellow Taoist Mo. There is a big thing that needs someone to take care of right now, and I can only really rest assured if it is left to you two.
Yes." Patriarch Ao Xiao looked at the two of them and said in a pleasant tone.
"Senior, just ask!'
Facing the Mahayana existence in front of them, the two men named Xu were quite flattered.
"I heard from Fellow Daoist Mo that the person who can take charge of the Holy Island in his absence is Fellow Daoist Luo. In this case, I need you to help me collect some things. Some of them are magic weapons and some are materials.
These things are relatively rare, some have already been found, and some have to be found by yourself. The only condition is that all this must be done in secret, and the sooner the better!" Ancestor Ao Xiao pondered for a moment, then said
He said straight to the point.
"Yes, this junior will immediately send some trustworthy people to do this separately. They will never let outsiders know." The white-haired old man was startled at first, and then immediately replied in agreement.
"Very good, I have a list here, please keep it." Ancestor Ao Xiao nodded, flicked his sleeve, and a piece of jade flew away.
The white-haired old man immediately stood up, took the jade slip into his hand, and put it into his sleeve without looking at it.
He obviously looked like he would do his best no matter what was recorded in it.
Seeing this situation, Patriarch Ao Xiao showed a trace of satisfaction on his face. He turned around and ordered the man surnamed Xu:
"Nephew Xu Xian, I need you to go to the wild world to meet some powerful people from the foreign race. As for what you are going to do when you meet them, I have already written them in the jade slips. I will know it when I look back. The same thing happens.
Don’t let anyone else on the island know about this.”
"Junior will definitely act with caution." The man surnamed Xu also stood up and replied respectfully.
"Well, these two matters are related to the three ancestors of the demon clan, and fellow Taoist Mo also knows it. I can only give you five years at most. If it exceeds, it will delay the important event. You understand."
Ao Xiao's senior team member's face suddenly became solemn.
"Senior, don't worry, junior and others will definitely complete their tasks on time even if their lives are at stake."
The white-haired old man and the man named Xu heard that it was used to deal with the ancestor of the demon clan. After looking at each other, they couldn't help showing expressions of surprise on their faces, and they almost swore immediately.
"I'm looking for you here, so I'm naturally at ease with you. Okay, there's nothing else to do, so go and take care of it right away. This matter should be done sooner rather than later!" Ancestor Ao Xiao raised his hand and threw another jade slip to him.
After meeting the man named Xu, he said goodbye to the guests.
The two white-haired old men did not dare to say anything more. They immediately bowed deeply and left the attic.
"Grandpa, are there no problems with these two people? Aren't there already demon spies in the Holy Island?" After the two left, Yinyue asked with a frown.
"Hey, if these two people are not trustworthy, the others are even less trustworthy. These two people were recommended to me by Mo Jianli personally. Because both of them have lived on the Holy Island for thousands of years and have never left even half a step.
Man. Besides, do you really think that the demon spies can escape from your grandfather's eyes? At least the elders of the Holy Island that I saw in the hall earlier should not have much of a problem. This is not bad news."
A faint smile flashed across Ancestor Ao Xiao's overly young face.
"Since Grandpa knows what's going on, Linglong can rest assured. I'll go upstairs to rest for a while." Linglong looked relaxed and bowed to ancestor Ao Xiao.
"You have been running around for several months and you really need to recover. Then you can go down first." Ancestor Ao Xiao nodded and said with some pity.
"Grandpa, please rest early. After all, you have only just recovered your strength, so you'd better not be too tired." The silver-haired woman warned worriedly.
"Haha, do you think your grandfather is really old?" Ao Xiao grinned and said indifferently.
"With my grandfather's appearance, most people will not doubt him if he is my brother, so how can he talk about it with the word 'old'." Yinyue chuckled lightly and walked upstairs without even turning his head.
Already.
His steps were a little brisk, and he seemed to be in a much better mood!
"This girl! I really hope she doesn't have to practice the Art of Forgetfulness." Ancestor Ao Xiao saw the silver-haired woman's back disappear from the stairs. The relaxed look on his face disappeared and he sighed softly.
But the strange thing is that after the long-haired man said this, he sat still on the chair with his eyes closed and showed no intention of getting up and going upstairs.
After a meal, he opened his eyes and suddenly said lightly:
"Now that you're here, why don't you show up yet!"
"My subordinates pay their respects to Lord Ao Xiao!"
Before he finished speaking, the nearby void actually fluctuated, and a nearly transparent shadow flashed out, only a few feet away from Ancestor Ao Xiao.
As soon as this phantom appeared, its body gradually condensed and became clear, and finally transformed into a slender woman wearing a close-fitting black robe.
This woman wore a bronze wolf-head mask on her face, and her hands were wrapped in a pair of black gloves. Not even a trace of skin was exposed on her body.
"Liying, after so many years, your outfit has not changed at all." Ancestor Ao Xiao said with a hint of interest in his eyebrows.
"Your Excellency is also as charming as ever! When I first heard that Your Excellency was injured during the calamity, I was really worried for a long time. Now that I see that Your Excellency is fine, I am relieved." The masked woman gave a salute without hesitation, and then
He replied respectfully.
"Hey, can a mere natural disaster really kill me? Well, no more nonsense. Many years ago, I ordered you to lurk on the Holy Island, just in case.
Hidden Hand. Now, please tell me the situation on the Holy Island in detail. If I want to guard the Holy Island for a period of time, I must understand the real situation on the island." The expression of Ao Xiao's senior team became solemn.
"Yes, the current situation on the Holy Island is actually not very good, mainly because of the demons..." The woman in the bronze mask heard the words and spoke without hesitation.
Ao Xiao's senior team listened very attentively. If they encountered something unclear, they would interrupt the woman's story and ask for details.
If the woman can answer, she answers; if she doesn't understand, she just shakes her head.
Finally, after the woman finished speaking the last sentence, she immediately fell silent.
Ancestor Ao Xiao began to think about it on his chair with a deep look on his face!
"Liying, you have done well. It seems that your stay on the Holy Island has not been in vain all these years. However, the matter that I summoned you to investigate last time has come to fruition." Ancestor Ao Xiao finally showed a satisfied look.
After coming back to his senses, he suddenly asked about another thing.
"If Lord Ao Xiao is alive, how could Xiu Ying not do it carefully? But the person you asked me to check has never been to the Holy Island. Although there are many rumors about him, there is still not much more detailed information.
.And this person seems to be an ascetic monk. Apart from practicing, he rarely interacts with people. This is probably one of the reasons why this person can jump several levels in a short period of time. His subordinates have already
I have sorted out this person's information. Do you want it now? Most of it is just rumors, not necessarily true." For the first time, the masked woman showed a hint of embarrassment in her words, but after thinking about it, she still
He replied honestly.
"It's just whether it's true or not. I have to take a look at it. Let's see how capable this person is. It has only been more than a thousand years since he ascended from the lower world to the spiritual world, but he has already made such a big name. He has become Linglong's main concern.
!" Ancestor Ao Xiao's face darkened and he said sternly.
"Yes, sir!" The woman in black robe raised her hand and hit a ball of blue light.
Ancestor Ao Xiao grasped it with one hand, and caught the green light out of thin air in his palm, then pinched it with his five fingers and directed his spiritual thoughts into it.
"Why are there just such a few things, and most of them are just random things? Humph, you can compete with monks who have just advanced to the early stages of integration. Do you think this kind of thing is somewhat true?"
After a while, Ao Xiao's senior team finished reading the information in their hands. After making a cold sound, they seemed a little dissatisfied.
"My subordinates are just collecting relevant information in accordance with your orders. Whether it is true or not, you still need to judge by yourself. After all, you did not order me to go out to investigate the relevant content personally. But if you give the order now, it will be
It's a little late. This person was hunted down by demons not long ago, and his whereabouts are unknown." The woman in black robe preached extremely seriously.
"The whereabouts are unknown. Is this serious? If so, it would be an advantage for this human kid. His name is 'Han Li', right! A mere monk who ascended from the lower realm dared to disturb Linglong's state of mind, making it impossible for him to advance smoothly.
.Even if I die thousands of times, I will not regret it." Ancestor Ao Xiao said slowly with a fierce look in his eyes.
