"Is it really that dangerous ahead? But that's the path mother has prepared for me! "

Looking at the three meter wide river in front of him, Mu Xuan hesitated. After the floating village brought back the Xu family's concave set, the guardian of the floating village warned him that it would be best if he didn't move forward. Any further and there would be many unknown dangers.

After arriving at the floating stronghold, it was as he had expected. Liu Rong had already told the people here, and started to collect the scattered villages. When she arrived, close to ten thousand people gathered in the stronghold, waiting for her to deliver the escape route to the stronghold.

The same procedure was completed in half a day, but in this short period of time, Mu Xuan's grand and divine image was also imprinted in the hearts of nearly ten thousand people.

Mu Xuan believed that with the promotion from these ten thousand people, he would be able to gather the children who hadn't cultivated yet and teach them collectively. They would be the most solid foundation for him to build up his power and it wouldn't be long before he grew up.

This way, he would be able to gradually establish his own sect. When his master was woken up by him, he would give him a big surprise.

While he was doing this, Mu Xuan had also received quite a bit of information about the Immortal Ancient Forest from the two Awakening Realm guardians in the floating stronghold.

The Immortal Ancient Forest was said to be a power belonging to the demon race. As for what exactly it was, they weren't too sure.

More specifically, it was similar to the area where humans resided. In those extremely vicious lands, there were quite a few gathering of demon beasts.

However, it was as if they had reached some sort of agreement. Normally, those Rank 4 Demonic Beasts would not act against humans, but the condition was that people would not provoke them. It was as though they did not want to offend them.

It was precisely because of this that humans were able to survive in the territory of the demon race.

The two elders who were guarding the stronghold said that once they passed through the stronghold, they would head west, where danger would begin. Not only were there many Rank 3, Rank 4, and even Rank 5 demon beasts, but there were also many vicious bandits and robbers.

As far as they knew, there were three places where strong bandits had gathered, and there were even warriors at the God of Pregnancy realm guarding them. However, they had never come to provoke the floating stronghold, and the people of the stronghold didn't dare to cross a river.

However, as long as it was only a river, there would be no danger to his life. Regardless of whether it was a person or a demonic beast, they were all wary of missing that river and would never easily cross it.

After they saw the map their mother gave them, they did their utmost to stop themselves from continuing forward. It was because many of the powerful and savage existences they knew of were all gathered near that road.

However, Mu Xuan did not believe that his mother would harm him. Even if all the people in the world would harm him, he did not believe that his parents would harm him. Therefore, he did not listen to the words of the two guardians.

However, Mu Xuan stopped in front of an invisible boundary and a river that was over ten feet wide. He was lost.

Because he could clearly feel that the river in the past had been dangerous and cruel. Standing on the other side of the river, Mu Xuan could see many rank 2 beasts staring at him savagely, but he didn't know why they had crossed the river.

Otherwise, Mu Xuan would have to run for his life.

Knowing that the difference wasn't too far from what he knew, Mu Xuan started to waver. He stood on the other side of the river for a long time without any intention of crossing the river. After all, no one knew what would happen after they crossed the river.

After Mu Xuan hesitated for a long time, he suddenly realized that there was an old man standing behind him. His hair was white and there was no aura coming from him. If it wasn't for the fact that he could see with his eyes, Mu Xuan would have thought he had seen a ghost!

Mu Xuan patted his chest and calmed his nervousness down. He looked curiously at the old man, and for some reason, he felt like getting close to him.

Just as he wanted to ask, the old man laughed: "Little brother, you want to cross the river right? But why are you hesitating? "

In fact, if he were to carefully look, he would discover that this old man seemed to be thinking of something with his father.

The old man was none other than Mu Hong's grandfather, grandfather Mu Xuan's grandfather's father-in-law, the ancestor of the Huang family!

It was just that Mu Xuan hadn't seen or recognized Mu Hong before. If the younger generation members of Mu Hong's generation were here, they would definitely be shocked. Why would the Old Ancestor, who had been in seclusion all this time, come to this place?

In fact, he had come to the Main City to protect the younger generation of the Mei Family. He was in a bad mood and had come here to take a stroll, only to run into Mu Xuan.

He put down the doubts in his heart and bowed. Then, he carefully replied, "I wanted to cross the river to retrieve my reward. However, the other party seemed to be in danger. That was why I hesitated."

He looked curiously at the old man and asked, "Why is the old senior here?" The demon beast horde is about to arrive. Although senior is very strong, senior should go to a safe place. After all, the demon beasts are not reasonable.

The old man looked at Mu Xuan in surprise and asked, "How do you know I'm strong?" However, he was still very satisfied.

There are only two possibilities for senior to appear here without a trace of aura. Firstly, there is no ordinary person who is training, and secondly, there is a strong expert with a high cultivation. However, to be able to deal with everything peacefully in such a dangerous place, senior can only belong to the second possibility.

A look of approval appeared on his face, but the old man smiled and said: "You are quite meticulous, but you are timid when facing difficulties. You don't have the drive to become an expert!"

"Charge?" Senior, do you want me to become a boor? It has to be said that no matter how monstrous a genius you are, as long as you haven't grown up, you are nothing but a joke! "

The old man was even more shocked by Mu Xuan's rebuttal, but his eyes were even more interested and satisfied.

Raising his head to look at the sky, the old man sighed and said, "You are right. No matter how monstrous a genius you are, as long as you don't grow up, you are indeed a joke. Which genius grew up without a life or death experience? Which one of them didn't create their own path through all sorts of dangers? "

After a moment of silence, Mu Xuan didn't refute his words. Which genius grew up and didn't go through life or death tribulations? How could he be like this, cowering and cowering?

Moreover, since he trusted his mother, she had personally chosen this path for him. So why would he hesitate to leave, or not?

His master had also said that a man must have momentum. If he didn't even have momentum, then he could only have a mediocre life.

Without further hesitation, Mu Xuan decided to cross the river. He continued to follow the path his mother had prepared to retrieve his reward.

He gave the old man a heavy bow and advised him to go to a safe place before walking towards the river. Then, he took out a 10 foot long wooden board from his storage ring and built a temporary bridge before crossing the river.

The old man laughed heartily and said, "Little friend, it's fate that we meet each other. I'll send you off!"

Mu Xuan was confused. When he opened his eyes again, he knew that he had been tricked. He had been tricked!

After Mu Xuan had disappeared, the old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "As expected of the grandson of my little Xiao Fang'er. After Mu Xuan had disappeared, the old man stroked his beard and said with a smile," As expected of my little Yao'er's grandson.

Then he frowned: "But why did senior make the decision to break off all ties with the Mu family? And to help them so hard? "How strange."

After thinking for a long time, the old man still could not figure it out and stopped thinking about it. He curled his lips towards behind him and said, "Old fellow, you should come out now, right? "How shameless, he stole all of my great-grandson's chances."

With a ripple, the old man who had been following Mu Xuan revealed himself. He then laughed, "Why did I snatch his good fortune? I'm just helping him make the decision, using his harvest to exchange for some useless lives! "

The ancestor's mouth twitched as he spoke with a serious tone, "Are you prepared to give this Monster race buffer zone to everyone in the Song Dynasty to that brat?"

First, he shook his head and smiled. "No, because what I can give him are all things within the Qi Cultivation stage. Not only is it the buffer zone for the demons to cross over with you, but it is everything, including the Lu and Xi empires!"

Stunned, the ancestor asked hesitantly, "Do you know what you are saying?"

"Of course I know, to fall out with Fire Thunder, to withstand the pressure of the three nations, Lu, Song, and Xi, and also the lives of close to a million people! Hehe, after getting so many things from your good son-in-law's family, how can I feel at ease if I don't return some of it? So I gave these million to them! If you cooperate, perhaps you can even send all the millions of your human beings in the buffer zone to him! "

Looking at the ancestor, he said mysteriously, "And it's even a group of people!"

After a long moment of silence, the ancestor sucked in a breath of cold air, "Aren't you doing a bit too much? Wasn't this pushing him to the heart of the struggle? In the future, they will be the first ones to attack you demi-humans! "

So the old man who had been following Mu Xuan and plundering his spoils was a demi-human. Moreover, he had transformed into a demon. So that meant he had to at least be a level eight? That monster could steal and rob from Mu Xuan without him even noticing.

The corner of his mouth slightly raised: "The adults above me are busy with the matter of the Thundershock Mountain, so I have no time to think about it. Therefore, in our dispute with the human race, as long as we are the ones who were exiled here back then, I will be able to keep up with your footsteps. Lei Shan is the same as well, when the time comes, you guys can cooperate and destroy the thunderbolt first." The ancestor no longer said anything, because they had their own reasons as well. It would be much safer for them to cause trouble for both the Lu and Xi countries.

It would be risky to do so, but the benefits would be great. With the support of the five clans in the dark, they could send all the connections they had with the Mu Clan.

No matter how strong the Mu Clan was, they belonged to the Great Song. This was certain. After all, the Five Great Clans of the Great Song were inextricably linked to the Mu Clan.

However, they still had to discuss on how to proceed. In addition, they also saw the transaction that the head of the Monster race was going to make. Thus, the ancestor of the Huang family started to take concrete steps with the old man.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two of them were satisfied. If I don't go now, that little fellow will be killed by you! "

With that, his figure disappeared. The ancestor's sinister smile also disappeared.
