When they were almost to the Keeper's temporary campsite, Zhuo Quan hid himself in a tree and let his father go to the campsite alone.
Currently, on the surface, only the mayor and his father knew of his identity. This was very good, then their future plans would proceed more smoothly.
"Quan Er, I have already asked the other team leader to call all of the Keeper back to the camp and wait for my notification. What do we do now? " Zhuo Erhu quickly came out of the camp and came to Zhuo Quan's side.
"Father, how many people are there in total at Qing Yang Sect? "Are they grouped together or separated?" Zhuo Quan asked.
"Around thirty." "There are three different locations." Zhuo Erhu replied.
"Good, then let's do it like this, one at a time. Dad, go to a camp and lure them out. I'll take care of them in the dark. " Zhuo Quan said.
"Alright." The father and son went into the woods together.
"Fellow Daoist of the Qing Yang Sect, you have arrived at the Barrier area of the Myriad Beasts Mountain. The Barrier region was extremely dangerous, and people were not allowed to go there. I hope you all cherish your lives, and withdraw from the Myriad Beasts Mountain now, and don't take anymore risks. "
Outside one of the tents in a small camp in Qing Yang Sect, Zhuo Erhu shouted to the people inside.
"Oh? Which song was Keeper singing? How dare you shout like this? Could it be that there is some action on Zhuo Family? " The ten people inside the tent rushed outside in an instant. One of them said to the others in a soft voice.
Master Keeper, we were resting here, and did not disturb you. Someone said loudly to Zhuo Erhu.
"Fellow Daoist, I did this out of goodwill. Life is your own, so this Myriad Beasts Mountain is filled with danger. After the Cloud Residue Sect people disappeared, the Bailao Sect people from last night had all left as well.
I suppose they don't disappear and retreat for no reason at all? All Fellow Daoist s, quickly withdraw from the Myriad Beasts Mountain. " Zhuo Erhu bowed and said to these people.
"Hey, Keeper, what's wrong with you today? How could we not understand the situation? The Myriad Beasts Mountain are the people of this world, why do you think you can make everyone follow a few words you said with your Zhuo Family? Isn't your Zhuo Family too overbearing? " One of them roared and was about to rush towards Zhuo Quan, but someone from behind stopped him.
"Don't be impulsive, didn't you hear what he said? Besides, there must be an article in his appearance before us. " the man who held him whispered.
"Do the Fellow Daoist not believe in the withdrawal of Bailao Sect? Everyone, why don't you come with me to the few camps in Bailao Sect? I had passed one of their camps and found it empty, but I dared not go in alone. If you all are able to go with me, you can be considered to have helped me strengthen my courage. After Zhuo Erhu finished speaking, without waiting for anyone to react, he directly walked towards the forest.
"Do you want to go with him?" Someone hesitated.
"Follow!" Right now, there are only two captains who are not injured in Keeper. I felt it carefully just now that he came alone. " One of them should be the one in charge here.
"I say, Master Keeper, you better not play any tricks. Don't think that just because you're the Guard Captain, we won't dare to touch you!" Those who had previously shouted at Zhuo Erhu all followed him.
"Quick, follow him! Everyone spread out! Let's not let him make dumplings if he plays tricks on us. "You, quickly report it to the captain." When the person in charge saw that someone had followed them, he frowned and ordered a person to report to their leader.
"Hehe, you still want to report? "Then you can die first." Hiding in a tree, Zhuo Quan secretly laughed, and in a flash, rushed towards the direction of the man.
"What is it? Are you really not afraid of me playing tricks on you? " Reaching a camp in the Bailao Sect, Zhuo Erhu stopped his footsteps, turned, and said to the person who was closely chasing after him.
"You!" The person also stopped moving, unable to react for a while.
"Alright, can you sense if there's no one left in the Bailao Sect campsite? Do you know what happened to them? " Zhuo Erhu said.
"Didn't you say that they left the Myriad Beasts Mountain?" The man looked at Zhuo Erhu in shock.
"Hur hur. They are all dead. " Zhuo Erhu said with a cold smile.
"So it's your Zhuo Family that's behind this?" The man immediately pulled out his blade and faced Zhuo Erhu, retreating a few steps back, quickly turning his head to look behind him, because at this time he did not feel anyone following him.
"Hee hee." When he turned around, a laugh scared him out of his wits! There was a child standing only a few steps behind him. At such a close distance, he could not sense it even if he did not turn his head!
"You! Xi Nang? "
"Boom!" But the response was a punch to the left side of his face.
Ah!" Screams accompanied with teeth came out of his mouth, but the knife in his hand was still aimed at the child's waist.
"I didn't expect him to be so powerful." Zhuo Quan thought, he stomped his feet and flew, somersaulting in the air and landing right on the man's head, he then smashed his fist down onto the back of the man's head.
"Pah!" With a loud crack, that person's body dashed forward a dozen steps, and with a poof, he fell to the ground and stopped moving.
"Quan Er, did you finish them all?"
Zhuo Erhu watched with trepidation. He never thought that his son was not even ten years old yet, his fighting strength was truly heaven defying. Seeing Zhuo Quan's two punches, he felt that he would not be able to dodge them. Although the strength was not great, the moves were too crafty.
"Dad, this idea isn't bad right? It's easy to deal with. "Hehe." Zhuo Quan said as he caressed his head.
"Quan Er, your technique is too brilliant, it is hard to guard against." Zhuo Erhu said.
"Daddy, are you going to learn? I can teach you that I fumbled it out myself. " Zhuo Quan said.
"What?" Did you figure it out yourself? It wasn't taught by Senior Xiang? " Zhuo Erhu's eyes were wide open as he said in shock.
"Master didn't teach me any moves, but he said that martial arts should not end in death. The more you follow him, the more you will lose your mind and teach me to read, ponder, and figure out things for myself." Zhuo Quan said.
"Don't play along, read more, think more, grope more. Quan Er, Daddy will learn more from you in the future. " Zhuo Erhu said excitedly.
"Father, let's continue. Let's eliminate them first." Zhuo Quan said.
"Alright." The father and son began to act again.
It was the same method as last time, where father and son annihilated another person from Qing Yang Sect. Now, there was only one last person left in the camp.
"Not good, Fellow Daoist! It's the Xi Nang! Quick, Fellow Daoist, we need to lean back. " Arriving at a camp in the Bailao Sect, Zhuo Erhu suddenly said to a person in the rear.
"What did you say?" Xi Nang? "Where is it?" The man looked panicked as he saw Zhuo Erhu coming closer with his back facing him. He seemed to be in a panic and had no malicious intent, thus he also turned around with his back facing Zhuo Erhu.
"Where are our people?" He had clearly felt his own men following behind him, but now, when he turned around, he did not see anyone!
His Spiritual Sense sensed something, but could not detect anything from far away. He was shocked.
"Fellow Daoist, if you trust me, come with me to my Keeper's camp quickly. I guarantee your safety. There's no way we can deal with that here. Keep your back against me and look at the tree. " Zhuo Erhu said nervously.
"How did you know there was a Xi Nang?" the man asked doubtfully.
"I accidentally sensed that your people weren't following us, so I tried to sense them." Other than our breath, the people behind us were all lifeless. Thus, when he thought about how the people from Bailao Sect had mysteriously disappeared, he was sure that they had been killed.
But other than the Xi Nang that appeared within the Myriad Beasts Mountain, who else had the ability to kill so many experts without making a sound? Our Ancestor once told us, although the Xi Nang is not powerful in combat, its sneak attack abilities are strong, and normally, it would suddenly drop down from the tree and pull the person's head off. " Zhuo Erhu said.
"Does your Ancestor have any methods to teach you how to deal with Xi Nang?" the man asked.
"Yes, that means at least two people, back to back, pay attention to the trees. But you know, it's not even at the sixth step yet, so Ancestor didn't tell us how to kill it. "Hurry, stop hesitating and come with me to the camp. I guarantee your safety." Zhuo Erhu said.
"Alright." The hearts of the people from the Qing Yang Sect were in a mess, and they did not have any presumptuous thoughts anymore.
Look, headless corpses! It's our captain! " As that person was walking with Zhuo Erhu towards the Keeper camp, they saw a corpse under a tree.
"Fellow Daoist, be careful!" Suddenly, Zhuo Erhu shouted loudly, and threw a punch at the tree above his head.
With a "hong" sound, quite a few tree trunks were snapped off.
"Hee hee." A child jumped from tree to tree, laughing, and disappeared.
"Fellow Daoist, stop caring about the corpses! Otherwise we would both die here. Stay close to me, pay attention to the top of your head, and quickly return to our camp! " Zhuo Erhu said anxiously.
"Lord Protector, thank you." He raised his head, and his back pressed tightly against Zhuo Erhu's back. The two of them walked side by side.
After half a day, the two of them were drenched in sweat and exhausted. They finally arrived at the Keeper's camp and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Twenty over Keeper s ran over to the two of them.
"Yes, Xi Nang s, we are being chased by them." Zhuo Erhu said while gasping for breath.
"What?" The Xi Nang are here? " Everyone exclaimed.
"This is bad!" Two of our Keeper s went towards your direction. I just received your distress signal, Captain, and immediately sent it to them, but we haven't received any response from them yet. "Hurry, go find him." Suddenly, someone shouted.
"Don't go, it's too late. Now, we cannot separate, have you all forgotten Ancestor's warning? " Zhuo Erhu said.
"Isn't the Xi Nang always in the front area? "Why are we here in the depths?" A Keeper said.
"No one is going to kill him, he must have found his way here." The person from Qing Yang Sect said.
"Captain, who is he?"
"He might be the only one left from Qing Yang Sect." Zhuo Erhu said.
"Captain, why are you …" One of the Keeper s looked unhappy, but he stopped halfway through his words.
"Protect the lords. I have offended many people in the past, so I am here as a gift. I hope the lord will forgive me." My, Qing Qiao's, life will belong to your Zhuo Family from now on.
Our sect may have misunderstood you, but when I return, I will definitely report this situation to the sect. In the future, if the sect ever sends me to deal with your Zhuo Family again, I will break my arm and defy your orders! " Qing Qiao stood up and bowed to the Keeper s one by one.
"Fellow Daoist Qing Qiao, thank you for believing in us. As for matters between sects, we are powerless. Listen to the orders of the sect. This is the duty of all of us, so don't make things too difficult for yourself.
As for today, you said that we saved you, but in reality, it was us who saved each other. If we don't back off, neither of us will survive. " Zhuo Erhu said.
"Only today do I truly understand that you Zhuo Family people are open-minded. No wonder the ancient factions promised to have your Zhuo Family protect your Myriad Beasts Mountain. We were all wrong. " Qing Qiao said excitedly.
"Fellow Daoist Qing Qiao, what plans do you have now?" Zhuo Erhu asked.
"I'll have to trouble you to send me out of the Myriad Beasts Mountain. I'm going to tell the people of this world about the situation here, and not let anyone misunderstand your Zhuo Family anymore." Qing Qiao said.
"Then, thank the Green Bridge Fellow Daoist. You and I are both a little tired today, so let's take a break. How about we bring you down the mountain tomorrow? " Zhuo Erhu said.
"Alright, then thank you, Lord Protector." Qingqiao theory
"Captain, which two people haven't returned?" After settling Qing Qiao down, Zhuo Erhu came to a tent and said to a middle-aged man. This man was the leader of the Keeper, and Zhuo Erhu was the second leader.
"Second Leader, it's like this. Do you remember those two people who were ambushed and severely injured by Cloud Residue Sect the last time? Just now, the mayor used a Sound Transmission Jade to tell me that one person's injuries were too severe and died the day before yesterday. Although the other person's life was saved, his meridians were all crippled and he had become a normal person. The City Lord is prepared to spread word out that two of our Keeper s have been killed by the Xi Nang.
Second leader, have you really seen Xi Nang before? Is it really that scary? " The Captain said to Zhuo Erhu softly.
"It's the enemy who feels fear. We don't need fear, Captain, do we? "Hehe." Zhuo Erhu looked at the captain and laughed.
"We don't need fear? "Hur hur, yes." The Captain was a little confused, but seeing that Zhuo Erhu was laughing happily, he laughed along with him.
