This result was unexpected. Chen Xiao was surprised and asked, "How could it be?"

Xi Yunting said: "Senior Hua Baisui got to the bottom of the matter and found out why the two sects had a feud. It turned out that the cause was actually the fault of the sect that entrusted her. First, that sect robbed people's caves and killed their disciples. As a result, this sect later endured hardships and hardships for a hundred years, and then came back with a vengeance. They drove the entrusted sect out and planned to kill them all. The two sides became mortal enemies and killed each other for decades."

Chen Xiao blinked. When will this untypical cycle of revenge end?

Xi Yunting said: "Hua Baisui believed that it was the sect that commissioned her that started the trouble. As the party at fault, being expelled was retribution. So, although she defeated the other party, she did not intend to take back the cave residence on behalf of others. In the end, she made the sect that commissioned her admit defeat and admit her fault."

Chen Xiao laughed. How should people evaluate this great man?

Logically speaking, when someone gets paid to do something, they should stand on the employer's side. This is professional ethics, and people like Duxu Daojun are typical. But she did it all on her own terms, and directly ignored the employer's will.

It cannot be said that Hua Baisui was wrong to do this, but it always makes people feel that he does things arbitrarily, based on his likes and dislikes.

"No wonder Master Taixuan said that it was hard to describe this person. The sect that asked her for help probably wanted to understand the hatred and take back the cave. The price of asking a powerful person was not low, and it was all wasted."

It's really unbelievable that the hired thugs don't help you but help the other party instead.

Xi Yunting said: "It wasn't all in vain. At least both sides finally put down their hostility under the suppression of Senior Hua Baisui, ending the hatred that lasted for more than a hundred years. Both sects were hurt. Now that this feud is over, they can rest and recuperate in peace."

Chen Xiao nodded, "I think Senior Hua Baisui acts like the mediator we used to have."

She acted like a neighborhood auntie with a strong sense of justice who had to make a fair judgment on right and wrong.

If this behavior is not motivated by profit, then it is worthy of respect. But if you take money from others and still do more harm than good, even if the result is not too bad, it is very frustrating.

To say that the heartache is relieved is not a relief. I have to spit out blood to relieve the depression in my chest.

The ground lizard was moving very fast, and there was sand and wind blowing in its face along the way. It wasn't long before the veil on its face was covered with a layer of dirt, and it had to be cleaned with magic.

When he opened his mouth to speak, fine sand and dust would float in. Chen Xiao couldn't continue chatting with Xi Yunting, so he had to shut his mouth and quietly continue on his way.

The Gobi Desert in Luobei is not as desolate as the ones Chen Xiao had seen before. Occasionally, you can see shrubs and lonely trees. The overall scenery here is desolate, lonely, and empty.

It's refreshing when you first come out, but the scenery along the way is all the same, which makes people feel bored.

At this time, the suddenly appearing desert oasis and blue salt lake are as dazzling as gems.

There are deserts, oases and salt lakes alternating from time to time. Chen Xiao exclaimed along the way that there are so many oases and salt lakes in this place!

Chen Xiao had a map in his hand and a compass in his body, leading the way, and they did not take any detours along the way.

Chen Ziyi, who was following behind, originally wanted to find out the way, but he didn't expect to encounter such a living navigation. After watching for a day, he found that Chen Xiao had not made any mistakes, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention and just followed the leading ground lizard.

In order to get to Green Water City as quickly as possible, they missed the oasis again and simply set up camp at the foot of a bare mountain.

The nights in the Gobi Desert are very cold, and large carnivores roam around at night. Chen Ziyi suggested that they light a bonfire to prevent being disturbed by the animals.

Tong Nuonuo did not take the initiative to mention that he had a warning and defense mechanism in his hand. He just took it out silently and placed it around the camp.

Except for Taoist Zhenlu and Xi Yunting who were fasting and didn't need to eat, Chen Xiao, Tong Nuonuo, and Chen Ziyi who was in the Golden Core stage all needed to eat. As for Tang Ru who was also fasting, he was a willful person who didn't care about what he ate and ate whatever he wanted.

Chen Ziyi took out some dry food and started to eat it. Tang Ru flexed his fingers and excitedly winked at Chen Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, let's go hunting! Catch some lizards and roast them!"

Chen Xiao was very excited. He looked at Xi Yunting, who said to him, "You and Tang Ru go together. If there is any situation, send a communication talisman."

It had been a long time since he had hunted and grilled meat himself. Chen Xiao stood up happily and asked Tong Nuonuo: "Do you want to go with us?"

Tong Nuonuo refused: "I don't want to eat lizard meat, you two should go."

Chen Xiao did not force it, and he and Tang Ru left the camp under the bright moonlight.

We walked a long way but didn't find any prey. At night, only some small creatures were active in the Gobi Desert.

Chen Xiao frowned. He didn't know where to find the lizard.

Tang Ru's goal was clear. She said, "Let's go to the nearest saltwater lake and take a look."

Chen Xiao recalled the map and took Tang Ru to fly towards the nearest salt lake.

The saltwater lake sparkles silvery in the night, and the view around the lake is quite wide.

Because it is close to the water source, there is a circle of not very tall bushes around the lake.

Lizards are not nocturnal creatures, and now they have gone into their nests to rest. Tang Ru had caught a lizard before, so he was familiar with its life patterns.

After calculating several possible locations for nests, Chen Xiao and Tang Ru searched separately.

This lizard, which is about the size of a small wild boar, is a very common species and is widely distributed in Luobei.

Basically, there are such lizards in places suitable for survival. So, after searching for more than half an hour, Tang Ru successfully caught one from the nest.

This one is enough to feed two people.

Tang Ru gutted the lizard, peeled off the skin, and cleaned the meat by the salt water lake.

This water contains salt, which can be used for washing and can easily kill bacteria. Chen Xiao stood aside and looked at the lake in front of him, and said, "I'll go down and catch some fish. Nuonuo doesn't want to eat lizards, so grill some fish for him."

Tang Ru looked up and said, "The fish in this saltwater lake are probably not very big."

"It's okay. It would be nice to catch some and fry them." Chen Xiao took out the pearl and put it in his mouth, then jumped directly into the lake.

The lake water was quite cold. Chen Xiao shivered and adjusted himself for a moment before swimming towards the deeper parts.

The fish in this lake were indeed not big. Chen Xiao caught a dozen or so, but when he saw that there were only enough for one plate, he changed his mind and dived to the bottom of the lake to touch some shells.

The deeper the water, the darker the light. Chen Xiao had already entered the center of the lake and found a black object underneath.

At first he thought it was a stone, but soon realized something was wrong.

When he wanted to dodge, the black shadow moved and grabbed towards him!

It was actually a person! Chen Xiao was startled, threw away the bag of fish in his hand, and threw out a small axe-shaped magic weapon.

Don't be fooled by the delicate and small axe, which is only the size of a palm. This is the result of Chen Xiao's years of hard work, and the addition of steel jade rock to the attacking magic weapon can be used as a Feng Shui magic weapon to attack the aura, and it also has the lethality of a general magic weapon.

The thrown axe hit the man's hand, and the man was immediately injured by the sharp axe.

Seeing blood in the lake, Chen Xiao was not happy but shocked.

This small axe is called "Xingshan". It has the power to split a mountain, but when it hits the opponent, it only makes a small cut on the hand.

Chen Xiao's heart trembled. He did not dare to be careless. While attacking the opponent with Xingshan, he swam quickly towards the lake.

As long as he got close to the water, Tang Ru would notice something was wrong and immediately rush over to help him.

As if he knew his intention, the man became more excited and was willing to take a few hits in order to keep Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao became more alert and used a lot of protective talismans and finally broke through the water.

At this time, Tang Ru, who noticed the turbulent water, rushed over and asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Xiao took a breath: "There's someone downstairs..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a splash and a person broke through the water and ran quickly towards the shore.

Chen Xiao was a little stunned. He couldn't understand why this person, who had attacked him before, was running so fast now.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a flash of light in the air and hit the man from behind.

The man was not as fast as the light, and was knocked down with a scream.

He struggled to get up, but before he could climb a few steps, he was stepped on by a figure that fell from the sky.

This was a plump, tall female cultivator, wearing Luo Chen's most fashionable dress. She stepped hard and scolded him rudely, "Shi Changbin, run again! I'll see where you can run to! You dare to slip away right under my nose, you're so brave!"

The man named Shi Changbin was almost suffocated by being stepped on. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Senior! Please have mercy on me and let me go!"

"I'll let you go, no way!" The woman refused flatly, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place! If you have the guts to be a heartless man, you must bear the consequences of killing your wife for fame."

The woman moved her feet away, bent down and grabbed Shi Changbin's collar, "Come back to Green Water City with me to meet the victim. Your life or death will depend on her decision."

"No, no, no!" Shi Changbin wailed, "Senior Hua! I don't want to die, I don't want to die——"

Senior Hua raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "A real man should be brave enough to take responsibility for his actions. You are so afraid of death, you are really unworthy of being a man."

Shi Changbin was about to cry: "My son Lin was just born. As a father, I haven't seen him grow up yet. I really don't want to die."

Senior Hua said with disdain, "Don't make excuses. Trying to beg for mercy? It's useless!"

She raised her hand and cast a spell, preventing Shi Changbin from making a sound. She picked him up with one hand and turned to look at Chen Xiao and Tang Ru.

Chen Xiao and Tang Ru watched from the side for a long time, and now hurried over to ask for greetings.

"I am Chen Xiao (free cultivator Tang Bao) from the Dongyu Sect, and I am honored to meet you, Senior."

The woman's eyes lit up, and she looked at Chen Xiao carefully. "Are you Chen Xiao, the leader of Dongyu Sect? The Feng Shui master?"

Chen Xiao felt an inexplicable chill on his back, and said with gritted teeth: "I am."

The woman nodded in satisfaction: "It's a good thing I met you. I was looking for you for something. Where are you going next?"

Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still honestly said "Green Water City".

The woman smiled, grabbed Shi Changbin and flew into the air, "I'll go find you when I'm done. I'll be leaving first, bye."
