Su Ran and many other strong men couldn't sleep all night, which also surprised some apprentices. Going to the Desolate Palace was a good thing, much more comfortable than living here for a lifetime, so why were they still unhappy? They didn't understand the thoughts of their old predecessors, let alone their ideological realm, how high their level had reached, they just felt puzzled, but it was normal.

When the sky was turning pale, many of the patients' family members had red eyes and were silent. Even though the medicine was available and the doctors had treated the patients, they just didn't come back to life. It was too late, too late. It was always too late to cure the disease and practice medicine. Only the paper money was just right.

Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu walked on the street, making way for the oncoming coffin, but the paper money flying in front of them always made them feel unlucky. The cool breeze and paper money aroused Ah Zhu's thoughts, and he quickly thought of his grandmother. He was eager to go home, and the little hand he held with Xia Xiao tightened a little.

Xia Xiao looked at her, full of heartache, and couldn't help but quicken his pace and came to Jishitang. There were still patients seeking medical treatment in the front hall, but the hall was full of people, at least a hundred of them. Xia Xiao saluted and couldn't help but secretly admired. If Yu Shangyan could seize the opportunity, then Huangdian would make a lot of money this time. I'm afraid all the free men in the entire Zhuang clan are here.

Free men have always been in high demand, and many people come here to avoid invitations from other forces and to avoid offending them. They were given shelter some time ago, and no one was chasing them, but now they have to face the Desolate Palace together. However, compared to those human-level forces that are so stubborn against them, the Desolate Palace undoubtedly has a bright future. After entering, no one dares to speak nonsense.

Seeing Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu being polite, especially the latter, made them more determined to leave the safe house. After a few pleasantries, Su Ran made his intention clear and immediately used his clone.

"She will take you to the Deserted Palace."

"Thank you very much."

As soon as Su Ran finished speaking, Ah Zhu's clone had risen into the air, and she also led people to follow, and immediately headed to the distance. Because the strength of these people was uneven, Ah Zhu did not tear the space, but just flew monotonously. But this place is not far from the Deserted Palace.

Standing in the air, seeing the group of people going away, Xia Xiao and Azhu immediately said goodbye to Jishi City and headed to the next place. The place they were going to this time was the southernmost part of Zhuangzong, close to the local power below it - Dongyue Wuzong!

If ordinary Zhuang Zong disciples went there, they would definitely travel in groups, because there were many Dongyue Wu Zong disciples lying in ambush at the border, often beating people severely without killing them, thus playing a trick. But Xia Xiao and Azhu didn't care about that, they just went according to the marks on the map.

Rules are harsh to those who don't follow them, and danger is only dangerous to the weak. Xia Xiao and Azhu are not weak, so they walk sideways on the border. However, this border is also deep in the mountains and old forests. From time to time, some rusty swords and damaged traps break into Xia Xiao and Azhu's vision, but there is no Little Sword Fairy Li Laoyue recorded in the scroll.

Xia Xiao and the others searched for a few more times but still couldn't find the person, so they said to Ah Zhu:

"You can use the power of the gods to look for it."

Ah Zhu nodded, and a blood-red light flashed in his eyes. A wave of air spread in all directions, causing the deep mountains and old forests to shake immediately. The animals and birds in the forest screamed in surprise, but there was no sign of anyone.

Xia Xiao didn't find it strange. After all, the marking range was wide. Maybe the senior was sitting somewhere, drinking tea and preparing to practice. But Ah Zhu's movement was too loud this time, and he himself realized that something was wrong. He explained:

"I used the source energy to look for him when I came here before, but I didn't find him, so I used it in a wider range this time, but it was far beyond the marked range, and I just didn't find the thirteenth-level strongman."

"You can't find him, so he must have left a long time ago. Let's go to the next place!"

Xia Xiao trusted Ah Zhu so much. The latter's strength was enough to summon Xi Shu's consciousness. How could he make a mistake like this? Moreover, if he was only a thirteenth level master, how could he hide it from himself? How could he cover up the sky with one hand in front of Ah Zhu? Just as he was about to leave, Ah Zhu grabbed Xia Xiao and said:

"There's a strange place, shall we go check it out?"

"Strange place?"

"Yeah, the energy over there is very strong, but it's all ownerless energy. I don't know what's going on!"

"Let's go and see!"

After that, the two had reached the innermost part of the deep mountain forest. The source of energy here was like miasma, which could block vision and isolate perception. But Ah Zhu led the way, and the two were able to walk straight into it. It was their figures that were seen by people in the distance, which made the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man feel many doubts. He immediately found his companions and told the elders what happened here.

Ah Zhu naturally sensed their presence, but ignored the people with the conspicuous word "Wu" embroidered on their backs, and focused on the thick miasma. Ah Zhu brought Xia Xiao and quickly came to the release center of the ownerless source energy, and left footprints on the soft soil, making this place that no one had been to for decades no longer so dead.

After waving his hands, the miasma dispersed a little, and their vision became clear. They saw that the masterless source energy was emanating from a sword. This was a sword that had been destroyed by time, but still had an indestructible edge. Xia Xiao immediately thought of the little sword fairy Li Laoyue. He felt that this was definitely not a coincidence!

The scroll given by Yu Shangyan said that the little sword fairy Li Laoyue often held a medium-grade spiritual weapon in one hand and a wine pot in the other, and was very cool and good at swordplay. On weekdays, he never left his sword, but now the person is nowhere to be found, but the sword is here, could it be that the person has passed away?

When Xia Xiao told Ah Zhu about this idea, the latter immediately shook his head, not noticing the deceased nearby. If Li Laoyue died here, it would definitely form a wonderful place where source energy would gather. When a thirteenth-level strongman dies, he will no longer just turn into mud like an ordinary person. But this sword can indeed be called a mid-grade spiritual weapon, because the fluctuations it emits are comparable to the cage iron thorns in the Heavenly Palace Punishment Hall.

Xia Xiao tried to activate the sword to find Li Laoyue, but failed. The sword had its own pride and would not be moved by others. Xia Xiao could have been tougher and refined it, but he chose not to do so. After all, the dead are the greatest.

"Leave him to the right person!"

Ah Zhu nodded and sent a message back to Yu Shangyan, walking out of the miasma. The two who had just walked out of the thick miasma were about to leave, but they stopped because of the dozens of people surrounding them.

"Wow, there are still strong people above the eleventh level."

Xia Xiao looked at the three old men in front of him and murmured. He judged that these people must be the elders of Dongyue Wu Sect because of the word "Wu" on their bodies. But he knew them, but the latter did not know Xia Xiao and Azhu. At this time, he glared at them and shouted angrily:

"Why don't you kneel down when you see this elder?"

“What a big mouth!”

A short-handled broadsword immediately appeared at Xia Xiao's side in a strange manner, as if it was going to chop down the three people. But Xia Xiao just took it back and said in a deep voice:

"You are the elders of Dongyue Wuzong, right? You'd better stay out of other people's business, or you will be punished by your sect leader when you return!"

"Brave boy, tell me your name?"

"Xia Xiao."

"Xia Xiao, you are so good! Did you know that this is our guarded place? But how can you enter it? Are there any spiritual weapons protecting you? How about this? You help me take out the spiritual sword, and I will not embarrass you and let you live!"

The bearded elder was coveting the strange sword, and he obviously wanted to take it into his own pocket. The woman next to Xia Xiao was really beautiful, which made him have wild thoughts. The latter glanced at them and took the magic sword in her hand before Xia Xiao made a move.

Buzz——

The dust on the magic sword fell off, revealing an extremely sharp blade and a smooth sword body, which immediately made the three elders' eyes light up.

"You want it?"

Ah Zhu asked playfully, and the three elders nodded immediately. Ah Zhu then let go of the sword, letting it float in the air, as if waiting for them to take it.

"You guys are smart, but you have to hand over the spiritual weapon that conceals your aura and that strange sword, otherwise you can't leave today!"

As they spoke, forty or fifty people immediately moved closer to the place, causing Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu to look at each other. Being threatened was a rare thing these days, and it really made them excited. But when the elder stretched out his hand and let the spirit sword approach him, it immediately flashed with a cold light and pierced his palm.

Hearing the screams of the bearded elder, Ah Zhu immediately found it funny and waved his hand again, causing the spirit sword to enter his empty ring.

"You're kidding us?"

"Who told you to be rude?"

"Little bastard, it looks like I have to teach you a lesson today!"

Ah Zhu snorted and waved his hand. Everyone covered their arms and cried out, because the arm that suddenly lost all blood was like a dried corpse, causing their bodies to react violently. The pain made many people faint. Even the three elders felt an unbearable pain, which made them sweat coldly.

"Learned your lesson?"

After hearing the continuous apologies and pleas, Ah Zhu returned the blood to them, then made a face and left with Xia Xiao. But the two knew that they would meet again, but not in this wilderness, but in the deserted palace. Then, they would not dare to be so presumptuous.

Seeing that they had disappeared, the bearded old man asked the two elders beside him.

"Have you ever heard that the Zhuang clan has such a young generation?"

"What did the man say his name was?"

"Xia Xiao..."

When the bearded old man repeated this, his expression changed drastically. Thinking of the woman's strength, he couldn't help but ask:

"Could it be Xia Xiao from the Desolate Palace?"

When he asked this, the other two elders did not dare to speak. They just stared at him in shock for a long time before cursing:

"You really killed me! How could we, the elders of the outer sect, offend others?"

"That's right, luckily we didn't say anything, you can just wait to be punished!"

The bearded old man was speechless, but panicked and wanted to chase after them to apologize. But no matter how fast he ran, he could not find them if he followed the direction they disappeared.

"It's over!"

The old man with a beard panicked and stood there for a long time, then hurried back to the sect to apologize. But what awaits him is an irreparable punishment. But at this time, Xia Xiao and Azhu were casually heading to the next place, and the latter's voice was heard by Yu Shangyan in the Huangdian Palace.
