Looking at the expectant gazes, Mu Xuan's heart was deeply moved.

Although the Awakening Realm was not considered powerful, in the eyes of experts, compared to the cities and counties, and the country, in the eyes of people like them, who were not even at the Qi Disciple stage, they were a lofty existence.

Most of all, it was a belief, a faith that came from spending one's entire life to protect and support the clan members. It was a belief that was the spiritual pillar of support for all the clansmen.

These pillars were the three elders, the silent guardians of the Xu family. Now that they had broken through to the Enlightenment Realm, they were supposed to be happy about it, but now they were told that the beast tide was about to arrive.

Demonic beasts, their food was also an existence that ate their flesh, and to them, the demonic beasts had the advantage.

They were frightened, but the three lords said that an emissary had come to show them the way, and that hope had been rekindled in their frightened hearts.

Therefore, when Mu Xuan and the other three arrived at the highest point of the building, all the hubbub disappeared. The only thing left was a pair of expectant eyes that could bring him towards the light.

No one looked down on Mu Xuan because he was young. This was not only because the three sirs said that Mu Xuan was the envoy, but also because Mu Xuan didn't hide his cultivation. The pressure he exuded was even stronger than the three sirs.

Originally, there were still some people who made sounds of disbelief. However, the village elders warned them that it was true. Those who experienced the beast tide before were none of them. Those voices were completely convinced.

There were also people who suggested that the emissaries take a leave of absence. When the three adults who had guarded them for dozens of years personally informed everyone, everyone placed their hopes on an emissary they did not know.

Even though Mu Xuan knew this was unnecessary, he had promised Li Pan that he would help him out, so he had to have his own power. He couldn't do such a great thing on his own.

After thinking about the fact that his master had entrusted him with the task of establishing his own sect, he also needed manpower. It was best to convince him that treating him like a god was the best basis for doing so.

As for the people before him, especially those children who had yet to cultivate, they were his goal. He wanted to raise them as his first batch of power.

Although this kind of price was too high and would take too long, the cohesiveness and loyalty were very high.

These were all prepared by his mother for him. The three elders were all elderlies, so how could he not know what Liu Rong was thinking? That was why he had put up such a show at the Xu family.

He held his breath and sighed. "Everyone knows that the beast tide is coming, so I came to inform everyone and to prepare a place for them to take refuge. That is the Immortal Ancient Town, but when we go to the Immortal Ancient Town, we have to make arrangements. So everyone follow the three seniors to a place where we can gather as quickly as possible, and then we can go to the Immortal Ancient Town together."

Seeing that everyone was relieved, Mu Xuan's tensed heart relaxed. He continued, "As for the route, I've already prepared it for everyone. The three seniors will be leading everyone there, but I still have to inform the other villages. We can't be with everyone, so everyone be careful on the way. We'll meet again at the gathering place!"

After speaking, he floated away. One of the old men followed closely behind, and the other two old men began to prepare the specifics.

Both men, women, the elderly, and children watched as Mu Xuan left with reverence and gratitude.

This was especially so for the young ones. They couldn't help but admire Mu Xuan very much. Even though Mu Xuan only appeared for a limited amount of time, they didn't pay much attention to him.

Imperceptibly, Mu Xuan's grand and mysterious image was deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone in the Xu family.

At the same time, his great image would also be passed down through the thousands of people in the Xu Clan to be spread throughout the entire Immortal Ancient Forest.

Seeing someone following from behind, Mu Xuan stopped and asked, "What can I do for you, senior?"

"I am not worthy of your advice. I just want to ask if the envoy is going to the stronghold. There is also a very large village there, and the number of people there is not less than us, or maybe even more. It's just that they originally had two Invigorated Meridian realm experts overseeing them, so they did not want to interact with us.

With a frown, he asked, "Senior, do you mean for me to go there and convince the people there to move as well?"

"Exactly."

"But you three are in the Enlightenment Realm, one more than them. You shouldn't be afraid of them, right?"

The old man smiled, "Envoy has misunderstood. There are three large villages in this Immortal Ancient Forest: Gu Jia Liang, Xu Jia Dong, and Xuandao Stronghold. The three villages add up to more than ten thousand people.

"You trust me because my mother came here to tell you. But can they trust me?"

The old man patted his chest and said, "I do, I definitely do, because you look very similar to Senior Liu, and I believe that Senior also told me that you were just about to pass by, and that the choice of this road was something Senior Liu specially made."

Mu Xuan's hesitant appearance made him ponder deeply.

It was necessary for him to use the same trick in the stronghold in order to better publicize himself. It was likely that this was his mother's intention, so he was originally going to let the three elders settle the matter on their own.

He reminded the old man, "On your way there, it would be best for you to inform all the villages that you can find. It would be best if you could go together. After all, the beast tide is not a small matter."

"We know about this. Since we are going to pass by the Gu Clan, we don't need to send any messengers."

Nodding his head, Mu Xuan decided not to delay any longer and prepared to head to the stronghold, so that he could finish what he needed to do and head to the Meteor Pit as soon as possible.

The old man's expression changed and returned to normal. He spoke to Mu Xuan in a low voice, "Envoy, I don't know why, but I have something to say to you. Do you think I should say it?"

"Senior, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it!"

Mu Xuan was curious as well. He had guarded the Xu family for dozens of years because he guessed what the elder, who had reached the Enlightenment Realm, wanted to say to him.

"Life is most important!"

Then, afraid that Mu Xuan would scold him, he left, leaving Mu Xuan deep in thought.

The most important thing to live for, yes! As long as one was alive, there were many things one could do. It was like a passing cloud of smoke. Very few people would remember him, right?

Anything, as long as it was alive, would have a chance to obtain it. However, if it was dead, it would have nothing.

Although it was strange that the old man would tell him he was still alive, he did not investigate it too deeply. He had already seen through life and death, and now, he was only exploring, constantly strengthening himself.

Do whatever you want, do whatever you want, and don't let yourself get tired of living.

However, there was one thing that could not be forgotten, and that was to have a clear conscience.

Without further thought, Mu Xuan started to ride on his horse towards the stronghold.

After Mu Xuan had left, the old man's body trembled. He looked around indifferently and felt that it was strange. He had just been discussing with the envoy, why did he come back without feeling anything when he had just been training? The envoy left as well.

Since he couldn't figure it out, the old man stopped thinking about it and prepared to go with everyone else. After all, the journey wasn't that far, and even though it was safer, they would still encounter beasts on the way.

"That's all I can do. How many people you can save depends on you. If it wasn't for your good fortune, I wouldn't care."

Then he disappeared, just like before.

At the same time, the village became chaotic. Seeing the crowd of demonic beasts surrounding them, Liu Rong and Wu Ling started to get nervous.

However, what they found strange was that these demonic beasts didn't attack but only blocked them, preventing them from leaving the village's range.

After asking Wu Ling and the other three to go back and calm the villagers, she walked up to a Rank 4 Demonic Beast and said angrily, "I want to meet your leader!"

The Rank 4 Demonic Beast already possessed intelligence. It gave a few roars to a Rank 3 Demonic Beast behind it before it left.

Liu Rong closed her eyes and impatiently waited for half an incense's time. Then, she opened her eyes, looked at a certain direction and berated, "We have always been doing a fair trade. What do you mean by bringing people to bet on my door today?"

A roar sounded out from that direction. All the demonic beasts kneeled on the ground, trembling in fear.

Swish!

The demonic beasts in that direction spread out to the two sides, leaving a path. A mighty fiery-red leopard walked over in an orderly manner. It was as if it didn't hear Liu Rong's scolding.

"If you don't give me an explanation today, we won't play!"

The fiery-red leopard spoke in human language, "Don't be angry, Madam Liu! I just wanted to let Madame rest. I know you're worried about your child and your husband and the others. "

Only a Stage Six demon beast could speak the human tongue, which meant that this fiery-red leopard was a Stage Six demon beast, equivalent to a human Divine Origin Realm expert! It seemed like she still valued Liu Rong like a dog.

"What have you done to them? If anything happens to them, even if I do my best, I won't let you guys get away with it! I think you should know that I am qualified to say that! "

The fiery red leopard looked at Liu Rong lazily, but quickly recovered and said, "I know, but I'm not done yet!" Why are you so excited? Let's not talk about other things, just the resources that you bring us every year, we won't do anything to them. "

Seeing that Liu Rong was really going to get angry, the panther laughed and said, "My family's Senior Lei Yun will personally protect your child and help him to find the treasure. Master Lei Shan will help him restrain that fellow Huo Lei, while your husband is currently steadily mining spirit mines and is also being protected by us, you can rest assured!"

Liu Rong's heart relaxed a little when she heard this. Since this guy said so, Xuan'er and Mu Hong would definitely be fine.

However, he immediately thought of something and shouted, "What did you do to Brother Hong?"

"I would like to, but the two sirs have ordered that we cannot interfere with the spirit stone mine. Even if the beast tide occurs, your Mu Clan can still continue to mine. What do you think we can do?"

Although she believed his words, Liu Rong didn't believe that he wouldn't ask for it. Although he had only taken one tenth of the items that he had found to buy for Xuan'er, she didn't believe that the Monster race would take such a big move without any expectations.

"What is your goal?"

Seeing Liu Rong calm down, the leopard helplessly said, "He really came from a big family. His attitude is so good, it's nothing much!" The two sirs need an item in the Cloud Sky Pit, and your target this time is the Meteorite Pit. So the two sirs arranged it like this. "

Hearing that it was just something he needed, although he was reluctant to part with it, but after all these years, the benefits he had offered up would definitely not be small. It was likely that those two people would not go overboard, and would slowly calm down.

She knew that the two fellows had sent a Rank 6 Demonic Beast because they were afraid to see her and felt guilty towards them. Thinking that they could give up the Spirit Stone mine, she could only return hatefully.

Watching Liu Rong leave bitterly, the level six leopard also left, saving himself from putting more pressure on his children.
