Nie Feng did not seem to be very old, he was probably only in his forties, his entire person looked tall and spirited, with a smile on his face, he was looking at Xu Xuan happily, and the details of Xu Xuan not bowing to him was also in his heart, he knew that maybe it was because Li Qingxia and Mu Chen were always in conflict, thus, Mu Chen"s disciple did not bow to Li Qingxia, and was not too surprised.

Evidently, Nie Feng was still very happy that Mu Chen had such a disciple. After seeing Xu Xuan today, Nie Feng had discovered that he had a very handsome appearance, and could even be considered a talent. Thus, Nie Feng felt quite satisfied.

"Hehe, Senior must be joking. No matter how talented I am, I have only learned the art of pill refining for six months. How could I dare to compete with other apprentice alchemists? I heard that Senior"s disciple, Meng Tian, is a rare genius in the alchemy field. At such a young age, he has already mastered the art of alchemy.

Xu Xuan laughed, and unexpectedly, he was extremely modest, even flattering Nie Feng, which made Nie Feng very happy.

Mu Chen, who was standing beside Nie Feng, laughed heartily as he looked at Xu Xuan. In his heart, he was extremely satisfied with Xu Xuan"s performance, while Li Qingxia revealed a look of disdain.

"Hehe, you are right. Meng Tian, that boy, is indeed not bad. In this compet.i.tion between the disciples of our Alchemy Sect, our Mountain Sect can only rely on him. I heard that Ghastly Puppet Cult and our Qing Jing Zong also produced two talented individuals, but I believe that our Mountain Sect will win in the end."

Nie Feng laughed, and after he finished, he looked down: "Oh right, Goudan, what is going on here? It can"t be that you were concocting pills alone here, and caused a fire right? I"m afraid only Dan Profound Realm can cause traces of a fight like this. "

Xu Xuan laughed bitterly and cupped his hands towards him: "Senior sure knows how to joke around, this was a sneak attack, someone only wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate me!"

"Are they all dead? Goudan, do you know who did it? "

At this time, Mu Chen could not help but ask with concern. When they came, they naturally saw the two bloodied corpses on the ground, and understood that Xu Xuan had killed two people.

"I don"t know who did it. Hehe, there was a total of five of them. Two of them were killed by me, and the remaining three escaped."

Xu Xuan smiled, and when the others heard this, they felt that it was a pity that they managed to escape while being angry.

"It"s good that nothing happened, the day after tomorrow will be the Pill Gate compet.i.tion. At this critical juncture, you can"t let anything bad happen to you, you don"t even know if it"s the Qing Jing Zong or some other people"s fault, everyone be careful!"

Mu Chen said after thinking for a while, but Xu Xuan only smiled and did not say much.

Xu Xuan did not think that it would be anyone from the Ghastly Puppet Cult or some other Qing Jing Zong who wanted to cause trouble. He had only been in the Mountain Sect for less than half a year, and no one knew what extent his pill refining skills had reached.

Xu Xuan was very clear in his heart, he was just a new apprentice alchemist, and was getting closer and closer to the compet.i.tion in the alchemy gate. There were many things he needed to prepare, and it was impossible to investigate for the sake of his own life or death, and for some things, it was better not to investigate. Obviously, such a possibility wasn"t very likely.

There were too many disciples in this Mountain Sect and the sect did not have any rules to suppress the compet.i.tion between the disciples. Thus, in the several tens of thousands of Mountain Sect, it was normal for one or two people to die occasionally.

After everyone had left, Xu Xuan slowly flew towards another direction.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Li, long time no see!"

Xu Xuan landed in front of a pavilion that was halfway up the mountain. At this moment, the man surnamed Zhang and the one surnamed Li who were in charge of guarding the mountain were sitting at the pavilion, drinking tea. From the looks of it, the two seemed to be unaware of what had happened.

"Eh, hehe, I never thought that brother Goudan would have the time to come, hehe, truly a rare guest!"

The man surnamed Zhang was called Zhang Bing, he had a very good impression of Xu Xuan, and every time Xu Xuan went down the mountain, he would give them a few pills or something like that. Although they were all Rank 1 pills, Xu Xuan"s kind intentions made him feel that was worthy of befriending.

"Yeah, it"s been a long time since I saw you. Last time, I asked Elder Mu Chen about you, but he said that you"re a cultivation madman now, that you can go out for two to three months at a time."

The man surnamed Li, Li Mo, was also happy. He immediately gave Xu Xuan a cup of tea and stood up: "Brother Goudan, today, don"t give us any more pills. We have not used up all the pills you gave us, hehe, today, you have to listen to me."

As he spoke, Limo"s eyes were filled with a mysterious light.

"Listen to you?"

Xu Xuan was startled, he accepted the teacup, and sat down on a stone stool beside the stone table, not knowing what Li Mo wanted to say to him, but he secretly thought that could it be that Li Mo knew of the past, and wanted to tell him something? But why did it seem as if they didn"t know anything?

"Right, just listen to me. If you stay here for a while longer, I"ll go prepare some food and wine. The three of us will have a good drink today."

Li Da laughed. After he finished speaking, he immediately stood up and prepared to go get some food and wine.

Hearing that, Xu Xuan could not help but be confused, the feelings he had and himself were completely different.

"Alright, go ahead. We"ll have a good drink today!"

He smiled at her, but Xu Xuan did not reject her. He just so happened to have something to ask, and it was good that they were drinking and chatting at the same time.

"Brother Zhang, do you know of any powerful or reputable a.s.sa.s.sination organization in our dynasty?"

After Li Mo left, Xu Xuan started chatting with Zhang Bing. Although the upper management did not ask about this matter, it did not mean that he would not ask about it, nor pursue it. The other party had almost taken his life, as he was someone who would repay kindness and enmity, how could he just let it go like that?

"a.s.sa.s.sin organization. Hehe, I know of an a.s.sa.s.sination organization. It is the most famous one in our empire, called Dark Night!"

Zhang Bing laughed, and then said slowly.

"The dark night?"

Being able to send out five a.s.sa.s.sins like him at the same time, it was clear that the other party"s overall power was not small. Furthermore, from the looks of the attack and cooperation of the opponents, they could not be disciples of the Mountain Sect, but should be an organization that specializes in a.s.sa.s.sination.
