While Mu Xuan was leading his men towards the hill, Li Ke and the others disapproved.
Mu Xuan had informed them before he had arrived. That was why they had come here after arranging the city they would be guarding. They had been hiding in the dark the entire time and didn't show themselves. However, they hadn't relaxed Mu Xuan's safety.
They were still waiting for Mu Xuanyin to lead them to the founding of the country! It was not that they did not want to establish their own country, it was just that it was not easy for them to establish their own country. This was also a matter of rules.
It was impossible for them to establish their own country. Only by establishing a certain amount of achievements could they be conferred the title of emperor. After being conferred the title of emperor, they would then be able to own their own country.
However, in the thousand years since the Great Tang was founded, how many people had the ability to be crowned king? Furthermore, their powers did not allow them to participate in the conflict between humans and demons. Thus, they absolutely could not allow anything to happen to Mu Xuan. If anything happened to Mu Xuan, their future path would be sealed.
If that wasn't the case, why would they listen to Mu Xuan's orders? To protect in the dark?
However, they didn't understand what Mu Xuan was up to at this time.
However, it didn't take long for Mu Xuan to bring the remaining tens of thousands of people to the hill. When he called for them, they realized that Mu Xuan had not only transferred them to the hill, but also arranged them into a formation.
The most important thing was that the Spiritual Artifact Hall gifted by the Hundred Herb Immortal, which was originally used as a great hall of the Heavenly Return Marquis Estate, was also brought over. It was placed in the innermost area and was surrounded by people so that they could enter when they were tired.
"Mu Xuan, what are you doing?" Even though you put on such a grand front, I didn't find anything amiss! "
Li Ke's words were calm, and He Junwei was puzzled by Mu Xuan's actions. He curled his lips and said, "Seeing how afraid you are of death, it's no shame for you to lose face!" He was still waiting for the day! I think it's better if you hide your head. "
Even Liu Zixuan didn't think so. He thought Mu Xuan should return to Sky Return City as soon as possible and not waste time here.
Rebirth advised, "Master Hou, why don't we hurry up and go back? It's not safe here. Moreover, night is about to come, so the beast tide will be very intense. After all, this is not the Heavenly Return City. "
Even Chen Gong, who believed in Mu Xuan a lot, said worriedly, "Master Hou, is your plan of action a bit inappropriate this time? The monster tide is really not a joke! "
Although he had only experienced the demon beasts' attack once, he still remembered to be worried. As for the demon beast horde, he was really afraid now. Just the demon beast horde's attack alone was enough to kill and injure many people, and the demon beasts had suffered hundreds of thousands of deaths. Who would not change their expressions when they heard this?
Sighing, Mu Xuan said, "It seems that none of you believe me! Let me ask you this, is Lu Yan's scheme related to the Monster race? "
Only after hearing Mu Xuan's reminder, did they remember that Lu Yan had cooperated with the demon clan to stop them. However, even now, they hadn't found any demon clan or demon beast. What was this situation? Could it be that there was something else that they hadn't noticed and Mu Xuan had noticed?
"Indeed, just as you think, the demon clan has already made their move, and they have completely taken advantage of Lu Yan. Don't forget, the true purpose of the beast tide, Humans and Demons can't be separated, and this has never changed in so many years. Although they share the same interests, the demon race is sometimes even more terrifying than the human race."
His deep eyes stared at the sky, then he said in a low voice, "Because the Monster race is even more brutal, and their methods of killing are even more bloody."
Every time he thought about the blood and inhuman slaughter being carried out by the demons on the innocent people in Liao Gu Town, Mu Xuan felt chilled. Because of his prophet, Li Ke and the others had been asking about it and had triggered the painful memories that Mu Xuan had suppressed for a long time.
For the sake of making himself lose the people he relied on, he slaughtered so many unarmed people, exterminating all of them. For the sake of making himself lose the people he relied on, he slaughtered so many unarmed people, exterminating all of them.
This time, if it wasn't for the fact that the demon clan colluded with Lu Yan, that he had some special methods and could obtain information that ordinary people couldn't, he would have to fall into the hands of the demon clan once more. Even if he led a lot of people, they wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the demon clan during the beast tide.
Noticing that Mu Xuan was thinking about the people who had died in Liangu Town, Chen Gong tactfully didn't speak again. He just waited to see what Mu Xuan would do and what he would say.
Li Ke and the others had also heard about the deaths of Mu Xuan in the town, so they chose to keep silent. They believed that they wouldn't be able to accept it even if it happened to them.
It was because of this that they believed that Mu Xuan was indeed someone extraordinary, someone who could quickly accept reality. It was because of this that they believed that Mu Xuan was truly as the patriarch had said, someone extraordinary, someone who had obtained the fruits of his cultivation through Jiang Shu.
Just like this, Mu Xuan fell into deep sorrow. Liu Zixuan led his imperial guards to protect him while Li Ke, Cheng Gong, Ye Ling, and the others arranged the wolf army and personal guards on the hill. Everything was progressing silently.
After a long time, Mu Xuan came back to his senses. When he came back, he realized that the sky had turned completely dark and the hills were brightly lit. Li Ke and the others were in the hall that Mu Xuan had brought with them, discussing things in loud voices.
He looked at Liu Zixuan apologetically, then apologized, "Sorry, I thought of something and made you worry."
Liu Zixuan patted Mu Xuan's shoulder to comfort him, then comforted him, "Don't be too sad. The dead are all in the past. We should cherish the present and minimize the casualties. This is what you should do. Otherwise, more people will die in the future."
This was something Mu Xuan always remembered. Although he had only promised Li Pan and Xiao Yue at the beginning, he slowly realized that he would do his best without making any promises.
Mu Xuan nodded firmly and smiled, "It seems that you know me well! Hehe, in the future, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. Don't worry. "
Liu Zixuan nodded his head in agreement to Mu Xuan's promise. Then, he sent someone to inform He Junwei and the others, but was stopped by Mu Xuan, "No need, let's go quickly. It won't be safe here soon."
Although Liu Zixuan didn't know what Mu Xuan meant today, he still chose to listen to him. He led the imperial guards to protect Mu Xuan and went up the hill to the main hall.
Arriving at the main hall, there was a brief moment of silence. Then He Junwei could not help but ask, "Mu Xuan, what happened to you today? Originally, we had the opportunity to return to the Heavenly Return City! If not, he could still go to the Earth City! It's much safer than being here. "
Waving his hand, Mu Xuan said with a wry smile, "Do you really think I don't want to? But you still don't understand, why the Monster race collaborated with Lu Yan, and there's still no movement? And Lu Yan didn't choose to fight me to the death? "Could it be that all of this is in accordance with the rules?"
With Mu Xuan mentioning it once more, they fell into deep thought.
That's right, everything today was out of line. Why was this happening? Could it be that the Monster race had a conspiracy? And this conspiracy was the reason why Lu Yan did not fight to the death?
However, what kind of scheme would it be? He actually made Lu Yan, who was leading so many wolves and so many armies, feel a sense of dread? Moreover, Lu Yan definitely had some guesses about this. Otherwise, he would not have brought his men away. But what kind of scheme would this be? Their team was very strong. Were the demons really going to lay down their trump cards?
It was impossible to eat all the people here without hundreds of thousands of demon beasts. Although there were many demon beasts during the demon beast horde, they couldn't be this generous towards the lives of demon beasts, right?
"You guys don't need to think too much. Just wait patiently. Soon, they won't be able to hold it in anymore."
Since Mu Xuan didn't want to explain, they had no choice but to wait patiently. When Mu Xuan recovered first, they all adjusted themselves to their best condition.
It turned out that Mu Xuan was right. He had waited for less than an hour when He Junwei and the others heard a commotion outside.
"What's going on?"
He Junwei's reaction was the fastest, and he couldn't help but ask.
Someone reported from outside, "Reporting to the lord, Lu Yan has led his men back and is rushing here. Those experts that left together with him are very imposing."
Besides Mu Xuan, everyone else stood up. He Junwei couldn't help cursing, "What the hell is wrong with them? What's wrong with them now?"
Liu Zixuan suddenly thought of something and strangely quieted down, not saying another word. Chen Gong thought of more and couldn't help but clench his fists.
They did not have to wait for Lu Yan's arrival when they heard a sharp mocking voice.
"I say, Lu Yan, do you think that by escaping here, you will be able to escape this calamity? "Haha, I'm not afraid to tell you that with this place as the center, we have already surrounded this area within a hundred miles. The goal is to leave a portion of your human race's main force here."
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "If there's any other reason, it would be to retrieve Xiao Xuan's vile child and your so-called 'death by heaven'!"
At the end, the voice exuded a thick sense of hostility. It seemed like it cared a lot about its other purpose, or perhaps the most important reason, but the rest was just a part of it.
