"Then what should we do?"

Hearing Xiao Jiu's words, Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes lit up. Although Xiao Jiu was unable to cultivate and his age was similar to his, he was always able to come up with a fresh perspective.

If such a person could train like a normal person, he could probably become a tyrant!

"A trace of his whereabouts cannot be revealed. A true master of stealth can not only conceal his tracks, but also reveal traces that can mislead the trackers. This way, he can finally get rid of the pursuers, take the lead, take the initiative, and toy with the trackers! "

Xiao Jiu faintly smiled, then opened his mouth and explained. As the former number one assassin, he had great attainments in the Dao of concealment.

"Do you have a way to do that?" Can you pass it to me? "

Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes lit up as she asked. The principle of concealment that she had been taught since she was young was to conceal her tracks as much as possible, but concealing her tracks. Many times, it did not mean that she could escape the pursuit.

However, Xiao Jiu's point of view gave her a completely new understanding of the path of concealment.

"Yes, of course. However … Why should I pass it on to you? "

The corner of Xiao Jiu's mouth curved into a smile as he meaningfully spoke.

"I'm your fiancée, why are you arguing with me about this?"

Mu Qing Xue blinked her eyes as she teasingly replied.

"But I never admitted it!"

Xiao Jiu smiled, saying somewhat bitterly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Uncle Xiao admits it, and my grandpa admits it. I'm your legitimate fiancee. You don't seem to be denying it?" Mu Qingxue curled her small mouth as she spoke with some dissatisfaction. Then, as if she had thought of something, a lonely expression appeared on her charming face. "From the age of fourteen onwards, you deliberately avoided me. Isn't it …"

Mu Qing Xue wanted to say something, but stopped herself. She didn't continue as she felt bitter in her heart. She was the goddess of the dreams of countless young talents in the 18 cities of the Nine Prefectures. However, in front of Xiao Jiu, she was just a little girl trying her best to curry his favor.

It was as if as long as Xiao Jiu revealed even the slightest bit of care towards her, she would feel an incomparable sense of warmth. However, the reality was that Xiao Chen had always deliberately kept his distance from her.

She had also asked for an answer like today, but in the end, she did not get one.

If anyone else were to know of this, they would definitely think of hacking Xiao Jiu to death.

Such a beauty is actually unmoved in front of you. Forget about being unmoved, she's even deliberately being cold.

"Is it what?"

A trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of Xiao Jiu's mouth as he asked.

"From then on, you kept your distance from me. Did I do something wrong to make you unhappy? As long as you say it, I will change it! "

Mu Qingxue pursed her lips and spoke with an almost imploring tone. Looking at Mu Qingxue's pitiful appearance, Xiao Jiu's heart suddenly felt a piercing pain.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong! You are very good, but it's my fault! " A tinge of sadness appeared on Xiao Chen's face, but it quickly disappeared. Following that, he said, "That's because you've grown up. When a girl grows up, she can't be that close to a boy!"

"Nonsense, where have I grown up?"

Mu Qingxue immediately refuted Xiao Jiu's excuse.

"You've grown up everywhere!"

Xiao Jiu's gaze landed on Mu Qingxue's exquisite body, and said with a smile that was not a smile.

Feeling Xiao Jiu's strange gaze, Mu Qingxue suddenly blushed and realized that she had said the wrong thing. Xiao Jiu was not the first man to look at her in such a manner. She had even gotten used to the way the man looked at her.

However, at this moment, when she felt Xiao Jiu's gaze on her, her heart unexpectedly started beating in a flustered manner, and an enticing flush appeared on her beautiful face. He lowered his head, almost burying his head in the pride on his chest.

Although Mu Qing Xue didn't have a particularly voluptuous body, her figure was still exceptionally outstanding. She had a few beauties before and after, and was definitely a peerless beauty that men yearned for in their dreams.

Furthermore, her temperament was pure and somewhat ice-cold. It was really able to arouse a man's desire to conquer another.

"You're still talking!"

Mu Qingxue stomped her feet and said somewhat angrily. She could not suppress the embarrassment in her heart as her face had already turned red to the point that the roots of her neck.

"Then I won't say anymore. You can go, I'll take care of the Blazing Mountain myself!"

Xiao Jiu smiled, then opened his mouth and spoke.

"Oh, you're chasing me away again, aren't you?"

Mu Qingxue's charming face carried a trace of hidden bitterness as she spoke. At this moment, he was full of flirtatious feelings, more like a young wife brimming with resentment.

"If you are by my side, it will affect my training. Training is to put yourself in danger. If you, the number one genius of the 18 cities of the Nine Regions, remain by my side, what danger would I be in? "

Xiao Jiu shook his head and said. He had his own plans this time. Searching for the Fire Ganoderma was one part of his plan, but the most important part was that he wanted to fulfill one of his promises.

"But, this Blazing Mountain is very dangerous. Something big seems to have happened inside the mountain, and all the demon beasts fled towards the outside. Some Rank 3 and above demon beasts will appear at the outskirts of the Blazing Mountain. We have yet to enter the range of the Blazing Mountain, so if we enter, danger will come at any time. With my current strength, I can easily deal with a Rank 3 Demonic Beast. Against a Rank 4 Demonic Beast, I can only escape! If you go in alone, wouldn't you be sending a sheep into a tiger's den? "

Mu Qingxue slightly frowned as she spoke with a bit of worry. If she had entered the depths of Blazing Mountain, even she herself wasn't completely sure that she would have escaped unscathed.

This time, something big really happened in the Blazing Mountain.

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu did not say anything, only wrinkling his brow.

"Also, the people from Great Desolate City's Mu Family, White Bone City, and Full Moon City are not the only people that are near the Blazing Mountain right now. Also, your Xiao family's arch-enemy, the Shi family, I'm worried that they will harm you! "

Seeing that Xiao Chen did not say anything, Mu Qingxue spoke again. The reason why she had come to the Cyanwood City this time around was partly to help Xiao Chen, but also to investigate the situation around the Thunder Volcano.

There were eighteen cities in the Nine Prefectures, of which four were near the Blazing Mountain. They were the Greenwood City, the Great Desolate City, the White Bone City, and the Full Moon City. Furthermore, Greenwood City was the closest to Blazing Mountain.

Intense Flaming Mountain was just a drop of water in the deep forest of the Graveyard of Gods. Even the land of the nine prefectures was just a drop of water in the vast forest of the Graveyard of Gods.

As the name implied, the Blazing Mountain was named because of its unique topography. To put it simply, there would be a lot of fire on the mountain. In this world, there were many plants that grew in flames, and there were also many demon beasts that lived in lava.

It was fine outside of Blazing Mountain, but some hot air was spewing out from the ground. The temperature was a little high, but the deeper one went, the hotter the temperature would be. There would even be lava that would appear.

No one knew when the Blazing Mountain turned into the Blazing Mountain, nor did anyone know why the Blazing Mountain was bathed in flames all year round.

Especially the Blazing Flame Valley in the depths of Blazing Mountain, it was even more so with torrential flames. If an ordinary person were to enter, they would instantly be burnt to ashes. Warriors with cultivation could not stay long with the protection of mystical Qi.

"If someone doesn't offend me, I naturally won't offend him. If someone offends me, I'll return the favor tenfold!" Xiao Jiu's face was indifferent, but he continued, "As for the Shi family, none of those who came this time can even dream of returning! "Many years ago, the Shi family severely injured my mother, so the only way to avenge them is to exterminate the Shi family!"

The Xiao family's gaze slightly contracted as they spoke with an indifferent tone. When it came to exterminating the Shi family, it was like talking about an ordinary thing.

If others were to hear this, they would definitely think that Xiao Jiu had gone mad. However, Mu Qingxue saw a terrifying thing in Xiao Jiu's eyes, and that was his unparalleled killing intent.

"This time, the person from the Shi family was also led by an elder of the Shi family. His cultivation base was at the sixth level of the Aurous Core stage, a level higher than your fifth level Aurous Core elder, Xiao Qinghe." "Among the young talents from the Shi family, the leader is Shi Minghao. He is one of the Heaven's Pride from the Shi family, and his cultivation is at the peak of the third level of the Core Formation Stage."

As the arch enemy of the Xiao family, the Shi family was naturally investigating with all their might. To be more accurate, she had spent so much effort to investigate the Shi family because the Shi family was Xiao Jiu's arch-enemy.

If it wasn't for Xiao Jiu, how the Shi family doing it would have nothing to do with him.

"Do you know what kind of existence Flame Valley is this time around?"

Xiao Jiu nodded in response to Mu Qingxue's words. If it wasn't for Mu Qing Xue, it would have taken a lot of effort to know about these things. Of course, the Mu Clan was the strongest existence in the Great Desolate City, so it would not be too difficult for them to gather information regarding the investigation.

It is said that it is a Holy Beast. A Holy Beast is different from ordinary Demon Beasts. It is a Demon Beast with a noble bloodline." Demonic beasts could be divided into three levels. Ordinary demonic beasts would become spirit beasts when they advanced to the ninth stage. They would possess intelligence and would be able to leave the ranks of ordinary demonic beasts. Once a spirit beast reached the ninth stage, it would break through the level of a God Beast. Not only did a God Beast possess intelligence, it could even transform into a human and cultivate as a human would. "Saint Beasts, on the other hand, are born with intelligence. Moreover, they are different Saint Beasts, so the bloodline within them is an extremely precious tonic for cultivators!

Mu Qingxue patiently explained to Xiao Jiu, worrying that Xiao Chen might not know about the origins of the Holy Beasts.

"You're right, it is indeed a Saint Beast. Not only that, it is a Qilin Saint Beast." However, it's only an injured Qilin Holy Beast! "

Xiao Jiu smiled and said with absolute certainty.

"How did you know it was a Qilin Holy Beast? Injured?" How do you know it's hurt? "

Mu Qingxue was stunned for a moment before she asked. The Mu family had spent a lot of resources and resources to find out that the old man in Flame Valley was a Saint Beast, but they had no idea what he was actually a Saint Beast.

The Mu Family wasn't the only family that wanted to know what Holy Beast that Flame Valley was. The other families had spent a lot of effort to find out and even sent people to investigate. In the end, they couldn't find out the identity of that person from Flame Valley due to various reasons.
