I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Of course, Lu Xuan did not directly expose the other party.

After all, the identities of two other people are still unclear, and it's easy to alert them.

Most importantly, even if we analyze it now, it will be of no use, since there is no evidence.

Let's continue following along first.

After everyone's tireless efforts, the two strange beasts were finally entangled at the marked point, allowing Chu Xiao to retrieve the rare and precious materials guarded by them.

As for what Chu Xiao took out...

Lu Xuan and the others didn't ask any questions either.

This is their resource, and at least before they reach Yunbo Pool, they all need to follow the Chu family's arrangements.

Two second-rank experts from the Chu family were also clearing the way ahead.

If it weren't for the two second-rank martial artists leading the team, Lin Haichao alone probably wouldn't have been able to bring Lin Qiao here.

"Yunbo Pool is the largest lake in the Lianyun Mountains."

"Many rare and precious treasures will appear near Yunbo Pool."

"Then you'll be able to really show your skills."

Chu Xiao said to Lin Qiao.

It was because Lin Qiao risked her life to save him that Chu Xiao was able to survive and hold on until Lu Xuan arrived.

Therefore, Chu Xiao also treated Lin Qiao well.

There was also a look of anticipation in Lin Haichao's eyes.

His own cultivation has stagnated for quite some time.

If we don't improve our strength soon...

That means the Fenghai Martial Arts School has reached its limit in terms of scale.

He has even greater goals; he needs to break through to the second rank, right?

If one cannot even break through to the second rank, one cannot be considered a martial artist.

Since they are people who are cultivating, naturally everyone wants to break through.

I want to reach a higher level.

The same applies to Lin Haichao.

Lin Haichao had just observed the surroundings.

If you find some rare herbs and exotic crystals, and sell them, you can easily earn 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver from this trip.

If you're incredibly lucky and find a treasure right away, the effect will be even better; it's not impossible to win tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Of course, as I said before, he couldn't have reached that level on his own.

It's not just a difference in cultivation level, but also a difference in intelligence.

Without a map, you will find it impossible to move an inch.

One wrong step and you'll fall right into the lair of the monsters.

Even though the Chu family had a map, they were almost surrounded by strange beasts several times. Fortunately, Lu Xuan reminded them at just the right time, which saved them from disaster.

"How much longer until we reach Cloud Wave Pool?"

Lu Xuan asked.

Judging by the time, it's been a whole day since I came in.

If this continues to drag on, I won't have much time left.

After all, the poisonous aura will continue to spread around the seventh day.

When that time comes, everyone will have to evacuate.

Naturally, a day should be reserved.

"Almost there, only about fifty miles left."

Chu Yuanxiu flipped through the map in his hand.

The group was resting in a mountain forest.

The surrounding vegetation is very lush, and the wild animals here are also very large, so the probability of strange beasts being born is relatively higher.

Just as Chu Yuanxiu was speaking.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan heard a whooshing sound.

The ear twitched.

Then his gaze immediately locked onto a figure nearly a hundred feet away.

call out!

The enemy's arrows came hurtling in from the darkness.

Their target was also Chu Yuanxiu.

Chu Yuanxiu only realized what was happening when the arrow got close.

He immediately drew his sword to defend himself.

bass!

Chu Yuanxiu drew his long sword.

The enemy's arrow struck Chu Yuanxiu's blade hard.

Unfortunately, Chu Yuanxiu was only parrying; before he could unleash his full power, he was sent flying by an arrow.

"Bang!"

Chu Yuanxiu's body suddenly crashed into a large tree.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

When they saw that Chu Yuanxiu had been severely injured by the opponent's attack, they were shocked.

Everyone was startled.

After all, Chu Yuanxiu was the strongest among them!

"Enemy attack!"

Chu Xiao shouted.

Without hesitation, he drew his sword and flicked up the leaves in front of him, instantly shredding them.

They used the leaves to block the view of others.

They were in places where the leaves were dense, thus concealing their figures.

But to my surprise, the opponent was still able to hit me.

This indicates that the other person is at a high position.

"Lower your body!"

Chu Yan shouted.

Another second-rank martial artist also stepped forward to help Chu Yuanxiu at that moment.

However, just as he captured Chu Yuanxiu...

Chu Yuanxiu suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

"you……"

Chu Yuanxiu's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the other person.

However, the expert from the Chu family suddenly unleashed a palm strike.

Bang!

In his haste, Chu Yuanxiu exchanged a palm strike with the opponent, but due to the lack of timely defense, the opponent suddenly attacked, causing Chu Yuanxiu to fly backward again.

"puff!"

Chu Yuanxiu spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Chu Mo! It's you!"

Chu Yuanxiu looked at his companion in disbelief.

This fellow disciple always kept quiet and worked silently.

They actually treated him so cruelly.

They betrayed the Chu family!

At this moment, figures had already landed all around.

Although not many people came, they were all experts.

Chu Xiao and Chu Yan immediately stepped forward to help Chu Yuanxiu up and protect him behind them.

He looked at Chu Mo, who had made the move, with disbelief in his eyes.

After making the move, Chu Mo did not show much remorse on his face.

"Yunhe Armor? I've applied for this item many times, but I've never received it. They always say I'm not qualified."

Chu Mo said calmly.

The so-called Cloud Armor is actually an inner armor worn by Chu Yuanxiu.

The inner armor was the very thing that allowed them to withstand Chu Mo's attacks.

Otherwise, Chu Yuanxiu's physical body would have already exploded by now.

Three figures also appeared in the surrounding jungle.

One of them was holding a longbow.

It was this very person who shot and wounded Chu Yuanxiu from a hundred feet away.

If the distance were any closer, an arrow would probably have pierced right through the person.

This person was a master from the Mu family's Black Blood Hall.

"Chu Mo, you actually colluded with the Mu family, betraying your own people!"

"How can you face your ancestors?!"

Despite his severe injuries, Chu Yuanxiu still roared angrily.

"Traitorous?"

"My cultivation level is higher than yours, and my talent is stronger than yours."

"Why are the burdens of the family placed on your shoulders instead of mine?"

"Just because I'm from a collateral branch!"

"You direct descendants can rise to power at will by stepping on the lives of us collateral descendants!"

"These are the ancestors you were talking about!?"

"Chu Yan, you're also from a collateral branch of the family, you know this best."

"With your talent, how could you possibly surpass Chu Xiao in future achievements!"

"But what did you get in return? Is this Chu family fair?"

Chu Mo clenched his fists.

The usually taciturn Chu Mo finally unleashed his inner roar.

His scarlet eyes were fixed on Chu Yuanxiu.

Their bodies were trembling slightly, whether from fear or excitement, it was hard to tell.

"Uncle Chu Mo, it's not like that... Although we are from a collateral branch, and it seems like we are at a disadvantage and are not well-liked."

"But decades ago, it was precisely because of the hard work of my great-grandfather and his generation that we have the environment where we can cultivate at will today."

Chu Yan looked at Chu Mo, whose thoughts had become obsessive.

His brows were furrowed at this moment.

He wanted to persuade Chu Mo to turn back, but he knew it would be too difficult.

The other party has already gone to such lengths; how could you possibly change things with just a few words?

"Brother Chu Yan, you don't need to say anything more."

"Chu Mo, since you've made this choice, there's nothing more to say. Let's do it."

Chu Xiao drew his longsword.

Everyone in this world has their own difficulties before they do bad things.

That is indeed the case.

Further discussion is pointless.

Chu Yuanxiu blocked Chu Xiao.

His gaze fell on Chu Mo, and the other three members of the Mu family.

These members of the Mu family were all at the second rank of cultivation.

Four of them were of the second rank.

Chu Xiao and the others have no chance of survival; if a real fight breaks out, they will surely die a gruesome death.

"Chu Mo, we've known each other for many years, and I know your character."

"I will stay, and all that I have gained this time will be yours."

"Promise me you'll spare their lives."

Although Chu Yuanxiu was furious, he knew that in the current situation, the only way to survive was to hand over the items.

And Chu Yuanxiu was also aware of this.

With his cultivation level at the second rank, he was certain to die.

The other side will absolutely not let him leave alive.

A second-rank martial artist poses a much greater threat than a first-rank one.

However, what made Chu Yuanxiu's heart sink to the bottom was...

Chu Mo shook his head slightly.

And then he closed his eyes.

Upon seeing Chu Mo's actions, Chu Yuanxiu immediately realized something was wrong.

The next moment, a man holding a longbow appeared beside Chu Mo.

They all stepped forward without hesitation, drew their longbows, and shot an arrow.

"call out!"

Just as that arrow was shot.

Everyone felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in their ears.

This arrow is imbued with true energy.

No one present could withstand it.

Even though the enemy's arrows weren't aimed at them, they still felt an immense pressure emanating from them.

Chu Yuanxiu secretly gasped.

Just when Chu Yuanxiu thought he was going to die.

But he discovered that the arrow was hovering right in front of him.

You can even see the true energy condensed on the arrow.

"What?!"

Even Chu Xiao and Chu Yan felt that Chu Yuanxiu probably wouldn't be able to withstand this arrow and would be pierced through and killed.

However, what I see before me now is...

This surprised everyone present!

Suddenly, Lu Xuan appeared to the side, and reached out a hand to grab the arrow.

"That's not very kind of you."

"They want to steal things and kill people at the same time."

"Judging from this, they're going to kill me too."

"Even I, a seventy-year-old man, can't stand it anymore."
