Late at night, the moonlight was hazy.
In a forest far away from Qingxiao City, Xiao Heng and the four core disciples of Narcissus Island sat on the ground to recover their divine powers. They looked a little tired.
From breaking into Hundred Flowers Tower, fighting fiercely with the experts there, to saving Miss Xiao and escaping, it was nothing. However, they were chased by a large number of people after that.
They ran all the way from Qingxiao City to here. Along the way, they were stopped several times and fought several battles. They even fought a Second-Class Divine Demon.
Fortunately, they'd managed to make it through. Furthermore, they should've shaken off their pursuers by now.
"We finally got rid of them."
Xiao Heng had a glimmer of hope on his face. He couldn't help but look at the veiled lady beside him.
Today, Miss Xiao was wearing an ordinary tight-fitting robe. Under the moonlight, her perfect figure appeared even more mysterious and attractive.
She stood there quietly without saying a word. However, Xiao Heng couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. At the same time, he felt a sense of relief.
Although they had encountered a lot of trouble and danger today, they still managed to save this peerless beauty no matter what.
At this moment … a slight air-piercing sound was heard.
"Who's there?"
Xiao Heng and the other four immediately stood up vigilantly.
"Senior Brothers, it's me." Jian Wushuang's figure appeared in front of the five of them.
"Jian Wushuang?"
Xiao Heng glanced at Jian Wushuang. Previously in Qingxiao City, when the five of them escaped with Miss Xiao, they only sent a message to Jian Wushuang to ask him to leave as soon as possible. However, they didn't travel together. They didn't expect Jian Wushuang to catch up with them now.
"Miss Xiao." Jian Wushuang also glanced at Miss Xiao.
"Greetings, Young Master." Miss Xiao was still as lovely as ever.
"Alright, now that Miss Xiao has been rescued and the pursuers have been shaken off, let's take a rest and recover our divine powers before returning to Narcissus Island," said Xiao Heng.
The four core disciples at the side all relaxed slightly.
However, Jian Wushuang shook his head. "Senior Brothers, I'm afraid things aren't as simple as you think."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Heng asked in a low voice.
"Don't you think that things have gone too smoothly this time?" Jian Wushuang asked with a smile.
"Too successful?" Xiao Heng sneered. "You weren't with us, so you don't know what kind of danger we encountered just now. Of course you think it went too smoothly."
"That's right. It's easy for you to say that. If you had been with us just now, you would have died long ago," another core disciple said.
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang couldn't help but frown.
In fact, he had been following Xiao Heng and the others all this time. He had seen what they had encountered. It was indeed a lot of trouble, but when it came to actual danger, it was still a lot less.
In comparison, it was indeed too smooth.
Of course, he had already reminded them. As for whether Xiao Heng and the others believed him or not, he couldn't be bothered.
"Someone's coming," Jian Wushuang suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Xiao Heng and the others became alert again. At the same time, their soul power had already sensed a large number of auras appearing in the Void near them.
"There are quite a lot of people, and they're coming for us." Xiao Heng's expression changed. Just as he was about to retreat, the other party had already sped up and appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Figures appeared one after another. There were at least a dozen of them.
Moreover, the auras of these people were extremely powerful.
These people were all experts above the Divine Demon Realm. Among them, there were a total of four Second Grade Divine Demons!!
"Damn it!"
"We're in big trouble!"
"How can this be? Haven't we already shaken off the pursuers from Hundred Flowers Tower?"
The expressions of Xiao Heng and the other four core disciples became extremely ugly.
Although the five of them were quite strong, they couldn't compete with the four Second Grade Divine Demons and a dozen Third Grade Divine Demons in front of them.
Looking at the group of experts in front of them, Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes slightly. "These people shouldn't be from Hundred Flowers Tower."
Jian Wushuang had been following behind Xiao Heng and the others, and indeed, they had shaken off the pursuers from Hundred Flowers Tower.
However, the ones who appeared now …
"Friends from Narcissus Island, don't be nervous. We're from the Mu Clan." A hearty voice came from one of the Second Grade Divine Demons.
This Second Grade Divine Demon was a white-haired old man. His face looked weathered and his eyes were extremely turbid. However, he had a gentle smile on his face.
"Mu Clan?"
Xiao Heng and the others were surprised and immediately became overjoyed.
"We're here on the orders of the Master to bring Second Miss back. This is a token from the Mu Clan. You can take a look at it." The white-haired old man threw a token to them.
Xiao Heng took it and carefully looked at it for a moment before nodding. "It's indeed a token from the Mu Clan. However, since the Mu Clan has already sent experts over, why do they still need Narcissus Island?"
"It's hard to say. Anyway, since we're here, we'll naturally ensure the safety of our Second Miss. As for you guys, you can return to Narcissus Island to report on the completion of the mission," said the white-haired old man.
"This …" Xiao Heng and the core disciples looked at each other and hesitated.
If it was an ordinary person, they would just hand the person over to the Mu Clan and return to report on the completion of the mission since the Mu Clan's experts were already here.
However, this person was none other than Miss Xiao, a peerless beauty who made Xiao Heng and the four core disciples go completely crazy.
At this moment, they really wanted to stay by Miss Xiao's side.
"Sir, how about this? We'll return to the Mu Clan with you. We'll leave after seeing Miss Xiao enter the Mu Clan Residence. What do you think?" said Xiao Heng.
"I'm afraid that's not convenient. Please leave." The white-haired old man was still smiling.
However, at this moment, even Xiao Heng felt that something was wrong.
Putting aside the fact that these people from the Mu Clan came in a very strange way.
They just wanted to personally escort Miss Xiao to the Mu Clan's entrance. What was so inconvenient about that?
"You're not from the Mu Clan!!!" Xiao Heng let out a low growl.
The four core disciples immediately took out their respective divine weapons and were ready for battle.
Upon hearing that, Jian Wushuang secretly shook his head. "You're wrong. These people are indeed from the Mu Clan. However, if I'm not wrong, the purpose of their trip is not to bring Miss Xiao back to the Mu Clan, but to make sure that Miss Xiao will never return to the Mu Clan."
"What?" Xiao Heng's expression changed.
Never return to the Mu Clan? Were these people not here to kill Miss Xiao?
