Hou Sailei scolded his men nonchalantly, and the group quickly passed by the hiding place of Shi Mu and the others and walked towards the front.
"Let's go, let's follow them." After a few people walked some distance away, Shi Mu Chuanyin said to Zhong Xiu, and the two of them followed.
Husserey and his party soon came to a courtyard in front. There was a three-story building inside, which seemed to be a residence for one person.
"Okay, you all go back. Next time, be more patient and don't let me do everything myself. I'm so busy, how can I have time to help you with these things all day long." Hussere said, waving to a few people.
.
"Yes, Lord Protector!"
"Sir, please rest. We will come back to greet you tomorrow."
Several people bowed respectfully to Husserey, said a few greetings, and then dispersed.
With a proud smile on his face, Hussere strutted towards the yard, came to the small building, opened the door, and walked into the tall mansion.
He came to the back room, stretched out, and sat down on the large and comfortable lounge chair. He was about to make himself a pot of good tea and reward himself for a hard day's work.
At this moment, a blur appeared before his eyes, and two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in front of him.
Husseile was shocked, his body lit up with gray light, and he was about to jump up when his body suddenly froze.
The short one was a beautiful woman, whom he did not recognize, but the tall and burly man was known to him.
"Senior Mu, I finally see you! As soon as we said goodbye that day, I knew that with your magical power, you would be safe and sound. These days, I have not been worried about you all the time..." Hussere was stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed to the stone
The shepherd stood at his feet and began to cry bitterly.
Zhong Xiu looked at Husse Lei and then at Shi Mu, with some surprise in his eyes.
"This person is one of my subordinates in Dongzhou Continent. I got separated from him on the way to Xihe Continent on the Ming Yue Cult fleet that day." Shi Mu explained to Zhong Xiu.
Zhong Xiu was stunned, but when he saw Husse Lei's expression, he curled his lips slightly.
Houssele lay at Shi Mu's feet, but he was trembling in his heart. Although there were various objective situations at sea that day, no matter what, he abandoned Shi Mu.
If Shi Mu was dissatisfied with this matter, he would be driven to pieces with just a thought.
Although based on his understanding of Shi Mu, this possibility is very small, but it cannot be completely ruled out.
"Senior Mu, I thought you would be safe and sound that day, so I didn't show up. Please forgive me, senior." Seeing that Shi Mu still hadn't spoken to him, Husseile quickly added.
"You don't have anything to worry about. In the situation that day, it was useless even if you showed up. I don't blame you. Get up." Shi Mu said and sat down on a chair in the room.
Husseile breathed a sigh of relief, then got up and stood next to Shi Mu.
"Senior Mu, where have you been these days? Although many people thought that something had happened to you, Deputy Cult Leader Liu has been sending people everywhere to look for you, but there has been no news about you." Hussere asked with a smile.
road.
"When you talk about Deputy Leader Liu, do you mean Liu An?" Shi Mu asked.
"Exactly." Hou Sai Lei nodded.
"He has become the deputy leader of the Ming Yue Western Sect? By the way, tell me first, what is the current situation of the Ming Yue Sect? And why are you here?" he asked.
"It's a long story." Hussere said.
"It's okay, you can speak slowly and tell us all the things you encountered after arriving in Xihe Continent," Shi Mu said.
"Yes, after we arrived at Xihe Continent that day..." Hussere sorted out his thoughts and began to talk about his experiences in the past few years.
Shi Mu listened quietly, tapping his fingers lightly on the handle of the chair.
Zhong Xiu sat down next to Shi Mu and also listened quietly.
It turned out that not long after the Ming Yue Eastern Sect arrived in Xihe Continent that day, the Ming Yue Western Sect learned about it, and the leader of the Ming Yue Western Sect personally welcomed Liu An and others.
It is said that the two had a long conversation, the content of which was naturally beyond the knowledge of an ordinary disciple like Hussere.
Liu An then announced that all the disciples of the Ming Yue Eastern Sect would be merged into the Ming Yue Western Sect. However, within the next year, these people, including some of the original hall masters, were assigned to branch altars across the Xihe Continent.
However, Liu An was left in the Western Sect General Forum and was named the deputy leader.
Although the Mingyue Eastern Sect is only a defeated force, they are all elite disciples after all, and there are quite a few of them.
After the various branches of the Ming Yue Western Sect have absorbed so many people, their overall power has greatly increased, and they have gradually become the third largest force in Xihe Continent, second only to the alliance of the barbarian tribes.
"I didn't expect Liu An to take this step and become the deputy leader of Xihe Mingyue Sect." Shi Mu murmured to himself.
"Yes, but the leader here did not give him any real power." Hussere said.
Shi Mu nodded.
"What's the situation of the Ming Yue Sect now?" he asked.
"How should I put it? Although the two religions are now merging and people from the Eastern religion are scattered everywhere, the situation is still very delicate. People from the Eastern and Western religions are still secretly separated and wary of each other," Hussere said.
"Then you were sent by the Western Sect when you came here?" Shi Mu asked.
"People like me are originally ordinary disciples of the Eastern Sect. They are not close associates of Liu An and the palace masters. I am not trusted by them. I am in an embarrassing situation. I can't touch both sides. No one will care. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for
Senior Mu is helping me, but I’m afraid I’m not even qualified to get on the ship.” Hussere said with a bitter smile.
"In that case, you are a ******. But I think you are doing pretty well here." Shi Mu said with a smile.
"That's because I'm quite efficient in doing things and I'm quite popular with the altar leader here, so I got a position as a protector," Hussere said.
Shi Mu smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and began to ponder.
The current situation of Ming Yue Sect was similar to the news he had heard intermittently before, and it was also within his expectation.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let me ask you, have there been any outsiders in Youfeng Valley today? The leader was a woman, and she was accompanied by a large amount of supplies." Shi Mu asked, and at the same time, he put the woman's surname Zhen's hand in her hand.
The appearance was described.
"Yes, not long ago. The altar owner sent me and two other guardians to bring that batch of supplies to the valley. It is said that they were looted. As for the woman that Senior Mu mentioned, I saw her and the altar before.
We entered the main hall together with the Lord, but we haven’t seen him since. He may have left,” Hussere said.
When Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu heard this, Zhong Xiu's face relaxed slightly, but Shi Mu's brows furrowed.
"Are you sure that woman has left? Where are those supplies now?" Shi Mu asked.
"It shouldn't be wrong. When the altar master summoned me to discuss matters today, he mentioned this matter casually. As for the supplies, they are parked in the warehouse of the deputy hall at the moment." Hussere said.
Shi Mu frowned.
What the woman named Zhen did was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"That batch of materials was escorted by the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce and robbed by the woman named Zhen. We sneaked into Youfeng Valley this time to get it back," Shi Mu said.
Hussere's face changed slightly, he nodded repeatedly, and then he cursed the woman surnamed Zhen for being despicable and shameless.
"Senior Mu, if you have any plans, you need to take action as soon as possible. Another earth-level deputy altar master in Youfeng Valley happened to leave yesterday for something. Now there is only one earth-level altar master here. Senior and this...
With the senior's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to rob those materials." Hussere stepped forward and whispered.
"Okay, you can think of a way to take us to the deputy palace warehouse to have a look first." Hearing this, Shi Mu nodded thoughtfully.
"This...I really can't do anything about this matter. The opening token of the auxiliary hall warehouse is always kept by the altar master. No one can enter the auxiliary hall without the token." Hussere said with some embarrassment.
"In this case, there is nothing we can do. You can take us to see the altar master here." Shi Mu said with an unchanged expression.
"Brother Shi." Zhong Xiu held Shi Mu's hand and whispered with some worry on his face.
"Senior, there is nothing to worry about. The altar leader here is just a warlock who has just entered the moon level. With Senior Mu's strength, you can definitely defeat him easily as long as you are in close quarters." Hussere said.
"You heard me, you have some confidence in me. Besides, you are still here, right?" Shi Mu pinched Zhong Xiu's nose and said with a smile.
Zhong Xiu's face turned slightly red. There were outsiders present at this moment, and she was very thin-skinned. Shi Mu's intimate gesture made her feel ashamed and happy.
Husserey stood aside and looked at his nose and heart, as if he didn't see anything.
"Take us there." Shi Mu turned to Hussere and said.
Husserey agreed and led the two of them outside.
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them arrived outside a main hall.
At this moment, Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu changed into the costumes of Ming Yue Sect disciples, followed behind Houselei, and restrained most of their auras, showing only their early innate strength.
The door of the main hall was closed tightly, and there were two guards in gray armor standing on the left and right outside the door.
"I've seen the protector." The two gray-armored guards hurriedly saluted Hussere.
"Well, is the altar owner still inside at the moment?" Hussere asked.
"Yes, the altar master is still practicing inside." The young gray-armored guard on the left said.
"Okay, go in for me and let me know that I have something important to do to visit the altar master," Hussere said.
"Yes." Seeing the seriousness of Hussere's words, the young guard in gray armor hurriedly agreed, opened the door and walked in.
"Master Protector, who are these two?" Another guard looked at Shi Mu and Shi Mu behind Hussere and seemed a little unfamiliar, so he asked in a low voice.
"They are fellow sects of the branch altar in Cangxu City. They have been ordered by the altar master there to report an important matter. This matter is not something that you, a little guard, can interfere with. You cannot afford to delay important matters. Stand here.
Go aside." Hussere said impatiently with a straight face.
The guard was obedient and stepped aside, not daring to ask any more questions.
After a while, another young gray-armored guard came out, saluted Hussere and said.
"Master Protector, the altar master invites you to come in." (To be continued.)
