Chapter 259

Hearing his third uncle's appraisal, Liu Xiaolou smiled bitterly: "This senior is too kind."

Zhang Da Ming said: "My third uncle rarely praises people. Being able to catch his eye is quite good, hahaha. You people from Wulong Mountain have done quite a few big things this year. Mount Tianmu is pursuing you very urgently and has put a bounty on all of you from Wulong Mountain. How dare you come back? That is truly too reckless."

Third uncle corrected: "Zhang Da Ming, there really isn't him in Mount Tianmu's bounty."

Zhang Da Ming was surprised: "How could that be?"

Third uncle said: "At first there was, but after the bounty was issued, the Dongyang Sect disagreed. Lou Zhenwu said that Liu Xiaolou is the son-in-law of the Su family of the Danxia Sect. Although he has already been divorced by the Su family, issuing a bounty to the world with such fanfare is truly a disgrace to the Danxia Sect. It's not strange that the Dongyang Sect and the Su family of Mount Shenwu had old ties and stood up to speak. Plus, Elder Tu on our side also helped speak for him, so Mount Tianmu removed Xiaolou's name from the bounty."

So that was it. Liu Xiaolou quickly bowed and thanked them: "Many thanks to your sect for your help."

Zhang Da Ming asked: "Where is Brother Xiaolou going?"

Liu Xiaolou said: "I haven't returned for a year, and my homesickness is hard to suppress, so I came back to take a look."

Zhang Da Ming rolled his eyes and said: "Xiaolou, I have a piece of news here. Do you want to know?"

As soon as he saw his appearance, Liu Xiaolou knew he was going to bleed. In order not to cause extra trouble, the blood that should be shed must be shed. He gritted his teeth and took out two spirit stones: "A small token of my appreciation, I hope Brother Zhang Da Ming and Senior will not mind accepting it."

Zhang Da Ming took it and weighed it in his palm, saying: "Hey, what is this for? Although the news is important, it's not worth two spirit stones..."

Liu Xiaolou's heart was bleeding, so he had to take two more out of his bosom and add them: "Third uncle senior has one too..."

Zhang Da Ming then happily accepted them and said to Liu Xiaolou: "Hurry up and leave, hide far away, don't go southeast. I heard that Mount Tianmu has a major clearing operation in the southeast direction. You've seen Lu Boqi, right? Their elder, even Lu Boqi has rushed over."

Liu Xiaolou's heart shook. He looked at the third uncle beside him. The third uncle smiled without saying a word and nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed the case.

What direction is southeast? Liu Xiaolou didn't know where Mount Tianmu was going to clear the net, he only knew that Baiye Manor was two hundred thirty miles southeast of Wulong Mountain!

Zhang Da Ming added: "However, Brother Xiaolou, don't worry too much. Elder Tu and Deacon Xin of our Gengsang Cave have a very good impression of you, and Lou Zhenwu of the Dongyang Sect also looks after you. Mount Tianmu shouldn't do anything to you. As long as you don't join in the fun, it will be fine as long as you aren't caught on the spot."

Liu Xiaolou thanked them again, watched Zhang Da Ming and his third uncle sway away, and immediately turned south, detouring around Wulong Mountain and rushing straight to Baiye Mountain.

Dai Sanren, Valley Master Zuo, Long Sanren, and Huang Xian, Ba, Captain Hu, you must hold on, don't act rashly, wait until I arrive to discuss it again!

Liu Xiaolou burst out with a speed he had never had before, rushing to Baiye Mountain for his life. While running wildly, he considered what he should do after arriving at Baiye Mountain. If the "southeast direction" mentioned by Zhang Da Ming referred to Baiye Mountain, then Baiye Mountain was likely already in Mount Tianmu's big net. He couldn't crash into it head-on. What he had to do was to intercept the Wulong Mountain friends on the periphery as much as possible and not let them go in.

He carefully recalled the route he took when attacking Baiye Manor last year and finally arrived at midnight.

There was no time to rest. Trembling with fear, he walked back and forth on this route for several miles but didn't find any Wulong Mountain friends. He mustered his courage to approach Baiye Mountain, carefully approaching the foot of the mountain, but until he reached the foot of the mountain, he didn't find anything unusual.

The mountain breeze blew gently, and the pine waves rolled, blowing a series of palpitations in Liu Xiaolou's heart.

Looking up at Baiye Mountain for a long time, he chose to go up the mountain, but until he was almost at the top, he still didn't find any movement. The broken walls and ruins of Baiye Manor stood in the darkness, seemingly telling of the catastrophe last year.

What's going on?

Was Zhang Da Ming's news wrong? Or was the location of Mount Tianmu's net not here?

Why didn't the Wulong Mountain friends appear?

Looking at those broken walls and ruins, Liu Xiaolou didn't dare to approach anymore. According to Dai Shenggao, Meng Chengchang, the inner sect disciple who defected from Mount Tianmu, was hiding inside. If he was discovered by him, the consequences would be unpredictable.

With a belly full of doubts, Liu Xiaolou went down the mountain again, heading toward the path from Huang Feng Gou, hoping to meet them on the way, but he walked for nearly ten miles and never saw anyone.

Huang Feng Gou was only thirty or forty miles from Baiye Mountain. It was agreed to act at midnight. Why hadn't they come yet?

Liu Xiaolou suddenly thought of a possibility: could the location of the net not be Baiye Mountain?

Could it be Huang Feng Gou?

Huang Feng Gou. Dai Shenggao looked at the time again; it was already 12:45 AM. So he circled around Huang Feng Gou, confirmed the personnel again, and then he found that Liu Xiaolou was not there, so he asked Zuo Gaofeng: "Where is Xiaolou?"

Zuo Gaofeng said: "He said he was going out for a trip. If he couldn't make it back, he would go directly to Baiye Mountain to wait for us. He should be at Baiye Mountain right now."

Dai Shenggao nodded: "Baiye Mountain, huh..."

Zuo Gaofeng asked: "It's already past midnight, no one should be coming anymore, right? When are we acting? There is still half an hour of mountain road to Baiye Mountain. Won't it be too late?"

Dai Shenggao said: "Right away, wait for me a little longer."

Dai Shenggao came to Huang Ye Xian. Huang Ye Xian's eyes were drifting, not knowing where she was looking. She took a deep breath and asked: "It's already past midnight, when are we acting?"

Dai Shenggao said: "Xiaolou left. Valley Master Zuo said he went out to handle some private business and would meet up with us directly at Baiye Mountain."

Huang Ye Xian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best news I've heard."

Dai Shenggao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief too: "Yeah, he has good fate."

Huang Ye Xian sighed gloomily: "Better fate than both of us..."

Dai Shenggao said: "When Master Sanxuan brought him up the mountain years ago, he told me that this child has a good fate and great blessings, and the Sanxuan Sect will rely on him to carry it forward in the future. Before he died, he also begged me to look after Xiaolou, and I agreed."

Huang Ye Xian said: "Since you agreed, think about what to do in the future?"

Dai Shenggao was silent for a long time and said: "Take it one step at a time..."

As he spoke, he turned and walked away, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm by Huang Ye Xian.

"What?" Dai Shenggao turned back and asked.

"I..." Huang Ye Xian hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Things have come to this, there is no way back." Dai Shenggao stroked her hair.

Huang Ye Xian closed her eyes: "I know, act lighter..."

Dai Shenggao sighed: "You know, it's not me acting..."
