Outlaw

After making this decision, Xiao Beichen breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, I felt a bit relieved.

It turned out that in the entire Pingjiang Province, he was not the only one fighting.

I’m not the only one who wants to clarify the atmosphere!

There are others who are also making efforts silently.

It's comforting.

Tongzishan was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll prepare the car now."

Xiao Beichen waved his hand: "Go ahead. We'll set off in an hour. I'll also go back to arrange some things."

Back at Zhenwu Mansion, Xiao Beichen made arrangements.

Mainly two things.

First, at dusk tomorrow, Chen Yan, Mai Yan, Huo Yanluo and others will go to Jintai Mountain together.

Second, during this period, a legion of [-] warriors entered a state of war preparation here. Once something unexpected happens, sound the alarm immediately and start combat mode directly.

After the arrangements were made, Xiao Beichen immediately found Li Weiyang and told Tonghua Mountain's request.

Xiao Beichen didn't know much about the Golden Snake Clan and the Zhishui Huang Clan.

In this regard, you still have to listen to Li Weiyang's opinion.

No, Li Weiyang was very happy when she heard about it: "Go, of course I want to go. Beichen, it seems that the Golden Snake Clan and the Shuishi Huang Clan attach great importance to you."

Xiao Beichen was stunned: "Do you value me very much?"

Li Weiyang said: "Well. According to my understanding, both the Golden Snake Clan and the Shui Zhi Huang Clan live alone and rarely come into contact with other people. Even if countless people try to visit and make friends with these two groups, they are very disdainful. Even if The top wealthy families in Huaidong are not looked down upon by these two clansmen. I really didn’t expect that Pingjiang’s flood control Huang family would take the initiative to invite you as a guest. This is simply an unheard of good thing."

Xiao Beichen was stunned for a moment: "Are you so excited?"

Li Weiyang said: "Of course. The Shuishi Huang clan is what others call the ape-man clan. The first Yin Talisman puppet we saw under the Blackwood Cliff was made of the Huang clan's giant. Outsiders In the eyes, the Huang giants are all experimental subjects, so the people of the Huang clan are very xenophobic. They are very hostile to people like us. And they have been hostile for generations. I have never heard of the Huang giants taking the initiative to invite people like us. Planted as a guest."

"This time, I guess it's because you took the complaint from Tongzhuang Mountain and killed the two heroes from Maoshan. The people of the Huang family admire you very much."

Xiao Beichen nodded slightly: "So, do you think the Huang family has the strength to fight against Jintai Mountain?"

Li Weiyang said: "The Pingjiang Huang family alone definitely doesn't have this ability. But if people from the Golden Snake Clan and the Huang Clan are coming, it's hard to say. The Golden Snake Clan is very strong, sitting on the top of the Huaihe River. . Even a peerless wealthy family like Longhu Mountain would not dare to easily become an enemy of the Golden Snake Clan. This tribe is really too mysterious and terrifying."

Even Li Weiyang said this, Xiao Beichen naturally had more expectations: "So, I am more looking forward to tonight's trip. Let's go, you come with me."

Li Weiyang readily agreed.

Soon, Mu Ziyan and Li Weiyang followed Xiao Beichen out of the Zhenwu Mansion headquarters.

Brass Mountain drove up early and waited.

The car is a large, specially made car.

Otherwise, there is no way to sit in the three-meter-high Brass Mountain.

After welcoming the three people into the car, Brass Mountain couldn't wait to drive and drove wildly: "Sit tight. Let's go."

The car kept going, heading towards Jintai Mountain.

However, when approaching Jintai Mountain for more than ten miles, the car in Zhuangshan Mountain turned to a small road. This is a wilderness, with reeds and weeds several meters high everywhere, and no one lives in a large area.

Brass Mountain carefully parked the car among the reeds.

Then he changed to walking: "I'm sorry, my Pingjiang Huang clan must be secretive and not let outsiders know the place. The next road can only be walked."

Xiao Beichen was very calm: "It's okay, just lead the way."

Everyone followed Brass Mountain all the way forward.

There was a smell of pesticides everywhere.

poisonous!

Mu Ziyan couldn't help but frown: "Why does this place have such a strong smell of pesticides?"

Zhuangshan said: "This used to be a base for planting corn, with tens of thousands of acres of corn fields. Later, there was a locust plague, and it was very serious. In order to prevent the locust plague from spreading, local officials sprayed ultra-high concentrations of pesticides here. We continued to fight for five or six years before the locust plague was completely extinct. Later, it was abandoned and even the insects could not survive. The plants grew luxuriantly. But the smell of pesticides is still there, so no one dares to come here."

Xiao Beichen said: "No wonder your Pingjiang Huang family would choose to settle in a place like this. Indeed, no one dares to come."

There are pesticides all around, who dares to come here?

Not afraid of being poisoned to death.

Beyond the reeds, there is a valley with lush vegetation in front of us.

As soon as they entered the valley, they saw countless black miasmas blowing towards them.

poisonous!

Poisonous!

Much scarier than the previous pesticides.

Fortunately, Xiao Beichen and others are not weak in strength.

There's nothing wrong with opening up your energy to protect your whole body.

Xiao Beichen had to admire the Pingjiang Huang clan.

Really good at finding places!

It’s pesticides and poisonous gases… Let alone people, even flies don’t dare to come…

Deep into the valley, there is a small mountain pond.

Although there is miasma all around, the water in this small mountain pond is very clear.

There is a spring below.

Next to the mountain pond is a very flat open space. Some game meat and animal skins were drying on it. A dozen three-meter-tall giants gathered around a bonfire in the center, holding hands and having a bonfire party.

There are also some people eating barbecue here.

It’s not lively.

A total of twenty three-meter-tall giants!

This was the first time Xiao Beichen saw so many giants, and he was a little stunned.

Standing dozens of meters away, Xiao Beichen could feel the powerful oppression released by these giants.

Seeing the arrival of outsiders, the lively scene suddenly quieted down.

Swish!

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Xiao Beichen and the others.

Baring his teeth and grinning, he looked fierce.

It feels like it can eat people.

Some people even picked up giant axes and raised them above their heads to chop down Xiao Beichen and others.

It's obvious that they are indeed very exclusive.

"Hey, hey, don't be impulsive." Upon seeing this, Tonghuashan immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Brothers, this is Xiao Beichen, the great patriarch of the Pingjiang Town Wufu who received my complaint. Kill the two heroes from Jintai and Maoshan. The clan leader agreed to the invitation. He’s here as a guest.”

As soon as these words came out, these giants lowered their guard.

The weapons in his hands were slowly put down.

At this moment, a red-faced strong man had not put down the giant ax in his hand, and pointed at Mu Ziyan and Li Weiyang beside Xiao Beichen: "What about these two?"

Tonghuashan quickly explained: "These two are Mr. Xiao's close friends. They are both trustworthy existences. Brother Dao, please put down the giant axe. Don't do this."

The strong man named Brother Dao was still a little dissatisfied: "Tongshan, you know, my Pingjiang Huang family is not only responsible for controlling the water monsters in Pingjiang, but also assists in taking care of the water monsters in the neighboring Qinghe province. Our bloodline is special and we must not let it go. Outsiders know our hiding place, otherwise, I don’t know how many clan members will suffer. You rashly let him bring his friends in, just in case they leak the secret. Can you afford this responsibility? "

A big hat was placed directly on Tongshan's head.

Tongshan's breathing became serious: "Brother Dao, don't worry, Mr. Xiao is not such a person. I promise!"

Brother Dao scolded seriously: "Many members of my Huang clan were taken away and made into puppets. Are there many such examples? You promise? Haha, what guarantee do you have?"

Tongzishan was anxious and said directly: "I guarantee it with my own head. Is this okay?!"

snort!

Brother Dao snorted coldly: "Brass Mountain, remember what you said. Don't think that just because your father is the deceased old clan leader, you can ignore the safety of the clan. If they dare to reveal the whereabouts of our clan, I will behead you." .”

Brass Mountain was also grumpy: "Okay!!"

"Okay, this is what you said. When the time comes, don't blame me for not caring about the friendship between my compatriots!" Brother Dao then gave up and put away the giant axe.

Brass Mountain roared angrily, but did not dare to get angry.

It can be seen that his status in the clan is not as good as Brother Dao. Even his strength is far behind Brother Dao.

"Mr. Xiao, follow me!" Tonghuashan pulled Xiao Beichen through the bonfire square and headed straight to a cave ahead.

The entrance to this cave is very secret.

Three meters high, Tongshan bowed when he entered.

But entering the cave, there is a lot of space inside.

Outrageously large.

Nine twists and turns. Finally we came to a huge stone chamber.

Rather than saying that this is a stone chamber, it is better to say that this is an underground stone hall.

Very beautifully decorated.

Eight huge stone statues are carved on the stone walls on both sides, and stone tables are placed under the stone statues.

There were people sitting at every stone table.

In the center of the end, there are two stone tables placed on the left and right.

Sitting at the stone table on the left is a man three and a half meters tall. He has a sturdy back and is wearing fine animal skins, giving him a very rough and wild look. He was about fifty or sixty years old, with extremely prominent muscles and full of explosive power.

Judging from this seat, this person should be the patriarch of the Huang family in Pingjiang.

On the right, sat a [-]-meter-tall woman. She was very beautiful. She wore an off-white tight skirt that highlighted her tall and graceful figure, with almost no trace of fat. And her skin is that wheat color, which gives people a very healthy smell and is very attractive.

Flawless facial features without any flaws. What surprised Xiao Beichen most was her eyes.

Not black pupils.

But dark golden pupils.

This was the first time Xiao Beichen saw pupils of this color.

Eyeball!

It's much more terrifying than A Dong's pupil technique.

"Second uncle, Xiao Beichen is here!"

Brass Mountain’s words broke the atmosphere of the scene.

Swish swish!

Countless people looked at Xiao Beichen and others.

Being stared at by eight or nine giants is also very stressful.

Tonghuashan introduced: "Mr. Xiao, this is my second uncle, Huang Tiemu, the current patriarch of the Huang clan in Pingjiang. This woman is Jiang Yulong, a person sent by the Golden Snake clan."

Huang Tiemu looked at Xiao Beichen and nodded slightly: "Mr. Xiao, you are welcome to be our guest. Please take a seat."

Someone immediately arranged a seat for Xiao Beichen on the side.

Xiao Beichen was not polite and took Li Weiyang and Mu Ziyan to their seats.

Immediately afterwards, everyone exchanged cups and ate meat, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Everyone surrounded Jiang Yulong with a very respectful attitude.

Even clan leaders like Huang Tiemu took the initiative to lower their posture in front of Jiang Yulong, spoke cautiously, and were very complimentary.

No one paid attention to Xiao Beichen, so Xiao Beichen had no choice but to drink alone.

Mu Ziyan whispered: "Beichen, I can tell. This banquet is actually to welcome Jiang Yulong. This woman looks to be less than thirty years old, but she is so respectful to the Pingjiang Huang family. I really don’t know if this woman is strong or has a tough background.”

Li Weiyang said softly: "They are all very hard. She is probably the kind of snake controller I mentioned. I looked at her using the Qi Watching Technique, and the aura in her body was very strong. It seems that she is not practicing ordinary Qi Refining Techniques. And her pupils, He has extremely strong eye power. This person is too mysterious. Even my qi-gazing technique can only detect a very small part of him."

Xiao Beichen nodded with deep approval.

When the banquet was about to end, Huang Tiemu suddenly changed the topic and said to Xiao Beichen: "Mr. Xiao, I invite you here this time, and I want to express my special thanks to you for accepting Tongshan's complaint in the name of Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion. This complaint , I have been wandering around between the two major provinces of Qinghe and Pingjiang for decades, and no one has ever dared to pick it up. You are the first."

"We, the Huang clan of Pingjiang, respect your bravery. Moreover, if we, the Huang clan, destroy Jintai Maoshan, we also need the honor and righteousness of Zhenwu Mansion. Otherwise, we will not be justified and it will be difficult to do what we say. .”

Xiao Beichen heard the overtone: "Clan Chief Huang, that's what you mean. Are you inviting me here today because of the name of my Zhenwu Mansion?"

Huang Tiemu said without politeness: "Not bad."

Mu Ziyan saw that Xiao Beichen was a little unhappy and couldn't help but said: "Clan Chief Huang, didn't you say that you would invite us to discuss the plan to destroy Jintai Maoshan?"

Huang Tiemu said: "Destroying a wealthy family like Jintai Maoshan, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, naturally requires the righteousness of Zhenwu Mansion. Isn't this just discussing a big plan? Don't worry, our Huang family has invited members of the Golden Snake Clan. Master Jiang Yulong, with Master Jiang Yulong here, Jintai Maoshan can be destroyed in a snap of the fingers. You only need to watch from the side, there is no need to take action, and we will not put you in danger."

"Mr. Xiao, you can rest in our clan tonight. Tomorrow morning, we will follow Master Jiang Yulong to Qinghu to subdue that evil beast. Then, we will go straight to Jintai Maoshan and kill Zhang Xuanye."

"Tongshan, Mr. Xiao is an honored guest, please treat him well."

After leaving a word, Huang Tiemu welcomed Jiang Yulong to rest. Ignore Xiao Beichen again.

As for Jiang Yulong, he left without even looking at Xiao Beichen from beginning to end.

Tonghuashan was very excited and took Xiao Beichen to rest in a wooden house outside the cave.

The wooden house is very large, with three bedrooms and one living room.

It was enough for Li Weiyang, Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan to rest.

The night is already deep.

Mu Ziyan was sitting cross-legged in the room in retreat.

Xiao Beichen had nothing to do, sitting alone in the living room drinking tea.

He understood.

The so-called discussing the plan together is to borrow the name of Zhenwu Mansion.

The rest... nothing happened to Xiao Beichen.

If it were anyone else, this would be a great thing and it would be too late to be happy.

But Xiao Beichen couldn't be happy.

Li Weiyang came over at this time: "Mr. Xiao, isn't it a good thing that the Huang clan and the Golden Snake clan are taking care of Jintai Mountain? Why are you still not happy?"

Xiao Beichen shook his head and smiled bitterly, not knowing how to speak.

Li Weiyang said: "You accepted the complaint from Tongzhuang Mountain. The Huang family used the name of Zhenwu Mansion to come forward to push Jintai Maoshan. It can be regarded as righteous. You don't have to take it too seriously. Zhang Xuanye is so terrible. Old monster, it would be too dangerous for you to come forward alone. Jiang Yulong happens to be here. You can save trouble and be a little less dangerous."

Xiao Beichen said softly: "Do you think Jiang Yulong can handle Zhang Xuanye?"

Li Weiyang said firmly: "Since he is from the Golden Snake Clan, he must be very confident. Also... have you observed the man following Jiang Yulong?"

Xiao Beichen recalled that there was indeed an inconspicuous bald man who followed Jiang Yulong at that time.

However, the bald man always kept a distance of three meters from Jiang Yulong, which did not attract Xiao Beichen's attention.

"I noticed it. What happened to the bald man?"

Li Weiyang said: "He was very secretive at the time, but I still used the Qi Watching Technique to observe that he was very strong. Far above the yellow iron wood. I'm afraid he is a big killer."

"So, with them here tomorrow, you can have nothing to worry about."

Xiao Beichen nodded slightly: "I hope so."

After some small talk, Li Weiyang expressed that he was tired and went back to the room to rest. Xiao Beichen, however, was not sleepy and went out to wander alone.

Even late at night, giants can be seen patrolling everywhere.

It can be seen that they pay great attention to their own safety.

While walking, Xiao Beichen heard a whining flute sound.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Beichen followed the sound of the flute. Finally, I saw the flute player by the small mountain pond.

Wearing an off-white short skirt, she was sitting on a branch, bending her long legs, holding a green jade flute in her slender jade hands, and playing it gently.

The sound of her flute is whimpering, low, and sad.

As if he was playing his own destiny.

Xiao Beichen actually heard his past from the sound of the flute.

Looking back at everything that happened five years ago, it seems like yesterday.

Every picture comes to mind clearly, and I can't get it out of my mind.

Just when Xiao Beichen was immersed in memories, a sharp silver light suddenly appeared from behind and struck Xiao Beichen's head directly.

The sharp edge flashed through thirty meters, carrying a terrifying killing blow.

What's even more frightening is that this sharp edge is so murderous that it doesn't even cause any ripples in the air.

Xiao Beichen was still immersed in memories and seemed not to notice.

In an instant, the sharp edge had reached an inch behind Xiao Beichen's head——

Cut straight down...
