In the world of midsummer, there is a lot of rain. It has been raining for three days in a row, and there is still no sign of stopping.

The ground is full of turbid water and the roads are so muddy that it is almost impossible for ordinary people to walk.

Xu Mu was wearing a blue Taoist robe, knocked the mud on his feet, stepped on the solid bluestone, held an oil-paper umbrella, and walked through the entrance of Fangshi.

He looked around, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

“Why do I feel like there are so many fewer people than before?!”

This situation has never happened before when there were continuous heavy rains.

Could it be that the major families have begun to leave?

Didn't hear the news?

Xu Mu, who felt a little strange in his heart, quickened his pace and walked towards the agreed teahouse.

"Fellow Daoist Xu! This way!"

Before Xu Mu reached the place, he saw Su Qing, dressed in green, standing at the door of the teahouse, waving to him.

"Fellow Daoist Su, please be polite! Wait for me outside the door!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

The two of them had also interacted with each other many times, and their conversations were not as reserved as before.

"Don't talk about this! We're already here. It's in the private room on the second floor. You can go in by yourself! I'll leave first if I have anything else to do!"

Su Qing said this and was about to leave. There was a bit of sadness in her brows. She no longer had the smile on her face as before. She didn't know if she had something on her mind.

"Fellow Daoist Su, don't leave in a hurry! You have to tell me who that person is, right?!"

"You'll know when you get up there! It's up to you whether or not you'll see me, I'm just passing on a message!"

Su Qing cast a protective spell, seemed a little angry, turned around and walked into the rain without looking back, leaving only Xu Mu's graceful back.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Mu was a little confused.

He didn't seem to offend the other party.

With a trace of doubt, Xu Mu walked into the teahouse.

The teahouse that used to be bustling now had only a few people in it, making it look particularly deserted.

Walking up to the second floor, someone was already guarding the entrance.

He is a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe and a stern expression.

"Fellow Taoist is Xu Mu, Alchemist Xu, right?" the cold middle-aged man said solemnly.

"Not bad! Who is Taoist friend?"

"Fellow Taoist, please come this way, my lady is waiting inside!"

The middle-aged man did not answer Xu Mu's words, but only extended his hand to invite him in.

Xu Mu frowned and hesitated.

Although the person inside the induction was not very strong, an unknown person always made him a little afraid.

What's more, the middle-aged man in front of me, who looks like a servant, is in the late stage of Qi training.

How can a person in the late stage of Qi training become a servant? How can he be an ordinary person?

But when he came, Su Qing said that the other party had something very important to tell him, a matter of life and death, otherwise he would not come at all.

"Don't worry, Alchemist Xu, my lady has no ill intentions!"

Seeing Xu Mu's hesitation, the middle-aged man said calmly.

Xu Mu smiled dumbly and followed the middle-aged man into the box.

There was only one woman in the room.

She is in her twenties, wearing a goose-yellow gauze dress, with long, ink-like hair, high and bulging, fixed with a sword-shaped dark blond hairpin, willow-leaf eyebrows, like star eyes, and a delicate face like a lady in a painter's painting.

"The little girl Chi Feiyan has met Master Xu! Thank you Master Xu for providing the elixirs during this time!"

The woman stood up with a soft smile and proper etiquette.

"You're welcome, fellow Taoist. I just use money to do things. Even if I wasn't a fellow Taoist, I would still sell it." Xu Mu said calmly.

He doesn't know the other person and doesn't want to have any friendship with him.

But when he heard that the other party's surname was Chi, Xu Mu already roughly knew the other party's identity.

Chi Feiyan was not angry either. He smiled lightly and said, "I called fellow Taoist here today to ask if he would like to leave with our Chi family."

"Why should I leave with you?"

Xu Mu was a little confused.

He is living well here, why should he start over in a different environment?

"The Qinghe Sword Sect has been destroyed, and the Soul Refining Sect will come to kill them soon. Is Master Xu really not going to leave?" Chi Feiyan said calmly.

"What did you say?!!!"

Xu Mu's eyes widened, thinking there was something wrong with his ears.

The Qinghe Sword Sect was destroyed?

Is the Soul Refining Sect coming to kill you soon?

What is this all about?

Didn't it mean that the Qinghe Sword Sect was about to win and the war was about to end?

Isn't today April Fool's Day?

Xu Mu felt that his brain was a bit insufficient.

Chi Feiyan didn't seem surprised at all by Xu Mu's reaction, because when she first heard the news, everyone had the same reaction, including herself.

"The Soul Refining Sect used the peace talks as bait and set up the Nine Sons of Heavenly Demon Array to kill almost all the elites of the Qinghe Sword Sect, including the ancestor of the Qinghe Sword Sect's Golden Pill. The major foundation-building families also suffered heavy losses and were not able to survive.

!”

"The Soul Refining Sect should have broken through the Qinghe Sword Sect's mountain gate by now, and will soon divide its troops to raid various major cities!"

"With the current power of Baishifang City, it is simply impossible to resist it!"

"The Soul Refining Sect practices the method of controlling souls and refining souls. The practitioners' Qi, blood and souls are their best training materials. For Baishifang City, this is definitely a catastrophe!"

Chi Feiyan looked at Xu Mu and said calmly.

"Why didn't I receive any news?"

Xu Mu frowned, still a little unconvinced.

Even if the other party swears by it.

"If even you knew about it, would Baishifang City still be so peaceful?" Chi Feiyan asked.

"..."

It seems so!

He is either practicing or refining elixirs every day, and the number of times he comes out is very limited, and the channels for obtaining information are also very limited.

Because even he knows the words, then at least half of the people in the entire Baishifang City know it.

Xu Mu looked hesitant and struggled, not knowing whether to agree or not.

The news really came so suddenly that he was not even mentally prepared.

The reason why the other party took him with him was simply because he knew how to make alchemy. If he left with him, he would definitely be restrained when he got there.

But if he didn't leave, he wouldn't have any confidence that he would survive the raids by the Soul Refining Sect.

Even if they can survive the sweep, without the support of the sect, Baishifang City will soon become a paradise for monsters.

"Does the Tianhe Sect not care?" Xu Mu said with some reluctance.

After finally adapting to the environment here, he really doesn't want to change unless necessary.

The Qinghe Sword Sect is a vassal force of the Tianhe Sect. If the Tianhe Sect comes forward, it will be easy to take back the Qinghe Sword Sect's territory.

"I don't know if the Tianhe Sect will come forward, but even if the Tianhe Sect comes forward, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness!" Chi Feiyan shook his head and said.

"If Fellow Daoist Xu is willing, you can bring your family and meet us at the entrance of Baihe Forest tomorrow! We will set off after Chen hour!"

"tomorrow?"

Isn't this too fast?

Xu Mu, who was still a little disbelieving at first, now believes a little more.

If it wasn't an emergency, the other party wouldn't have left in such a hurry. And starting from Baihe Forest, it was obviously not going to the Qinghe Sword Sect's territory.

"May I ask fellow Taoist Chi, where are you going?"

"The Liyang Sect three thousand miles away!"
