On the dark mountain road, Huxiong is on the left, Ziyang is in the middle, and Xiaoliu is walking on the right.
Huxiong sighed softly and said, "Just now I thought you would deal with that kid severely, but I didn't expect that you didn't have the heart to be cruel."
Ziyang put the clown mask in his hand on his face and said as he walked: "He took the trouble to come to the Western Continent to find me. It would be very inhumane if I beat him half to death."
"Although he spoke passionately, it also showed that he had a difficult journey. It is precisely because of this that he is unwilling to return to the Northern Continent."
Xiao Liu was wearing Zi Yang's black clothes and turned to look at him, saying, "Really? You were afraid that he would be in danger following us, so you used that method to force him away. Isn't that why? Protect him?"
Huxiong took off the wine bottle hanging from his waist and said, "Although that boy is a bit stubborn, I am still surprised that he dared to say such things in front of you."
"Especially since he knows about you in Qingyun City, this requires a lot of courage."
"He was just impulsive, not very courageous." Perhaps Xiao Liu guessed his intention, Zi Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Where is the Ghost Realm?"
Hu Xiong immediately replied: "The Ghost Realm is in Youcheng. As long as we keep walking along this mountain road, we will probably be able to arrive at dawn."
He has been king in the mountains near Fan City for many years, and he knows the distribution of surrounding forces and the terrain of the mountains and rivers well.
Zi Yang asked casually: "Is You City as prosperous as Fan City?"
Xiaoliu replied: "Youcheng is far inferior to Mortal City, because the ghost realm is in Youcheng, so you can think of Youcheng as a place dedicated to cultivating monks."
"The prosperity of Youcheng is similar to that of Qingyun City, or even worse than Qingyun City."
Huxiong added: "The large number of elite disciples of the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce are basically people who came out of the ghost realm and are people who have truly experienced the test of life and death."
"Oh? I heard you say that..." Ziyang frowned and thought for a moment, turned to look at Xiaoliu beside him, and asked: "Are the four people who were in the ruined temple last time from the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce? Elite disciple?"
Xiao Liu nodded and said: "Judging from their skills, clothing, and weapons, they must be the elites of the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce."
"A ruined temple?" Huxiong thought for a while, and the corpse on the snow outside the ruined temple flashed in his mind. He said, "I never expected that the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce would even send those people out to catch you."
Zi Yang shook his head and smiled: "They are not trying to catch me, but they want to learn Fu Kui's whereabouts from me."
Tiger Bear looked puzzled and said: "By the way, Fu Kui is from the Western Continent, and you are from the Northern Continent. Logically speaking, you should have nothing in common. Why do you want to help Fu Kui? What is your relationship with her?"
The reason why he didn't ask where Fu Kui was was because he didn't want Zi Yang to think wildly. Since Fu Kui was not with him, they must have some plan.
Ziyang said naturally: "We are friends. She saved my life. I trust her very much, and she also trusts me."
Xiao Liu stopped and stood, looking at the black shadow in the woods on one side, and said with vigilance: "There is someone over there."
After hearing her words, Ziyang and Huxiong also stopped and looked into the dark woods.
Tiger Bear saw that the dark figure in the woods seemed to be a man, and said very puzzledly: "Hey, there is a mountain road here, but he chose to go into the woods. What a weirdo."

Zi Yang's eyes were fixed on the black shadow, his face was slightly solemn, and he did not speak.
The dark shadow walking in the woods seemed to have heard their conversation, slowly turned around, and walked towards them step by step.
However, on his shoulders, a pair of small green pupils slowly appeared, like the eyes of some kind of animal, which looked extremely penetrating.
Because the sky was dark and the trees blocked some of the moonlight, Ziyang and the others couldn't tell what was behind the man's shoulders.
Not long after, he was wearing tan clothes, with short light green hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His lips were not red, but light green. The same was true for his palms, arms, pupils, face, ears and other parts.
The man walked out of the woods and came into view of everyone. However, his eyes paused for a moment on Ziyang's body intentionally or unintentionally.
Although he hid it well, Ziyang was still aware of it.
He smiled, bowed to Ziyang and others, and asked: "Sir, my surname is Wu Mingyu, and I am a man on his way. I would like to ask, is this the way to Youcheng?"
Huxiong looked Wu Yu up and down and said, "Are you carrying something with you? What were those green eyes just now? Are they snakes?"
Wu Yu smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "It's just a pet snake I keep. It's not a rare thing. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, don't mention it."
The man named Wu Yu has a humble attitude and his realm is not very high. He is only in the fifth realm of reincarnation. However, Tiger and Bear are wary of him and do not dare to get too close to him.
Xiaoliu frowned slightly and said calmly: "From your accent, it seems you are not from the Western Continent."
Wu Yu replied with a smile: "I'm from the Eastern Continent. This is my first time in the Western Continent. I don't know much about the surrounding towns."
"I asked around and finally got here, but there are so many mountains here that I couldn't tell where to go."
Zi Yang, who had been silent for a long time, showed a smile on his face, took off the clown mask from his face, and said: "You don't know the way, so the snake you raise can't be the same as you, right?"
The squirrel Xiaoqi next to Fu Kui is very understanding of human nature. He does not think that the snake on Kong Yu's body is an ordinary snake.
When he asked, Wu Yu visibly paused, looked at him and smiled awkwardly: "Snakes can't speak. Like me, this is the first time for it to come to the Western Continent. It's normal for it to not know the way."
"Furthermore, it's winter now, and most of the snakes on the mountain are hibernating. Even if they have some understanding of human nature, they still look for directions from different species."
Zi Yang held the clown mask in his hand, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "That's right. We happen to be going to Youcheng. If you don't mind, you can go with us."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of Xiaoliu and Huxiong changed slightly. Obviously, they had some doubts about Ziyang's decision, but they did not say it out loud.
They knew that the man named Wu Yu had a strange appearance, and he was no ordinary person at first glance. Taking him along on the journey was undoubtedly causing trouble for themselves.
Because he only said that he was going to Youcheng, but not what he was going to do there, no one knew what his purpose was.
Furthermore, Zi Yang's affairs in Qingyun City were not only known to the monks in the Western Continent, but even Mei Yong from the Northern Continent came here to look for him, and there was no guarantee that Wu Yu also came to look for him.
However, he didn't come to Ziyang to become his disciple like Mei Yong did. He probably heard about it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He came here to discuss Zi Yang's deeds, or even to kill him.
Of course, these are all the thoughts of Xiao Liu and Hu Xiong. As for what Wu Yu is here for, they don't have a clear answer.
Wu Yu shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, when I asked for directions, some people from the Western Continent saw that I looked a little strange, and their eyes were full of contempt."
"As long as you don't dislike me, how can I dislike you."
Zi Yang said as he walked: "You came all the way from the Eastern Continent. Why do you want to go to Youcheng?"
Wu Yu replied with a smile: "It's not a big deal. I like to travel around the world. I have been to both the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent, so naturally I want to come to the Western Continent to see it."
Regarding his words, Ziyang, Xiaoliu, and Huxiong just listened, and they would definitely not believe him.
"Wu Yu, what's wrong with your lips? Are you born like this, or are you poisoned? Are not all people in the Eastern Continent the same as you?" Hu Xiong pretended to ask casually.
Wu Yu shook his head and smiled, and said: "You are really good at joking. The people in the Eastern Continent have roughly the same skin color as you, and this is due to my cultivation."
His eyes glanced at the three of them, and finally fixed his gaze on Zi Yang, saying: "Oh, look, after talking for so long, I still don't know their names."
Just as Xiaoliu was about to refuse him, Ziyang introduced him: "My name is Ziyang, she is Xiaoliu, and this is Huxiong."
Wu Yu looked at Zi Yang with great interest and said: "Zi Yang, the Zi Yang who defeated tens of thousands of Western Continent monks in front of Qingyun City, could it be you?"
Zi Yang immediately said: "Yes, I am the Zi Yang who slapped the faces of the monks in the Western Continent, and I am also the Zi Yang who was hunted down by the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce."
The reason why he didn't hide it was that he felt that the person in front of him had seen his portrait, and it didn't make much sense whether he admitted it or not. Instead of letting the other person look down on him, it was better to reveal his identity to him directly.
Even if Wu Yu's level is higher than the three of them, if there is a conflict, he is sure to escape unscathed.
Wu Yu lamented: "Rumors say that Ziyang in the Northern Continent has extraordinary courage. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."
"I also heard that Youcheng is the territory of the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce, and that the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce will open a ghost domain in Youcheng in a few days. Are you going to the ghost domain?"
Zi Yang nodded and said, "Well, the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce is going to give me a big gift. Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't get it?"
Although Xiao Liu and Hu Xiong didn't quite understand why Zi Yang told Wu Yu this, judging from his facial expression, everything seemed so natural.
Zi Yang suddenly asked: "Is your snake poisonous?"
Wu Yu opened his eyes slightly and said seriously: "It's poisonous. It's extremely poisonous. If you get bitten by it, you'll basically die."
Hu Xiong said: "Are you a poison sorcerer?"
Wu Yu smiled and replied: "No."
Zi Yang looked at Xiao Liu beside him intentionally or unintentionally, and winked at her. She blinked slightly, as if she understood what Zi Yang meant, and said, "Can you let us take a look at the little one you raised?" A snake?"
Wu Yu didn't refuse. He turned to look over his right shoulder and whispered: "Come on, Xiaolong, come out and let everyone see."
After a moment, a big snake as thick as an adult's arm poked its head out from behind him, its green scales shimmering with light green in the moonlight.
