The Devil King? No, Please Call Me The Immortal King Xiaoyao.

After the three of them gradually fell asleep, Yixin dragged his exhausted body back to his room.

He lay expressionlessly on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, smelling the lingering scent of blood on his body, his thoughts returning to a few hours earlier.

At that time, he was still hiding in the bushes, eavesdropping on the conversation of Gou Er and the others, learning about Kuang Ao's purpose from their mouths. He originally planned to stun them and then rush to A Niu's house.

But just as he was about to make a move, suddenly, three sharp knives pierced out from the darkness, stabbing fiercely into the hearts of Gou Er and the others.

This sudden change caused Yixin's body, which had been leaning forward, to shrink back into the bushes.

The three who were stabbed looked pained. They turned their heads and saw that a dozen or twenty people were standing behind them, people who were none other than Kuang Ao's subordinates.

Gou Er stared at the leader in disbelief: "You, why?"

Before he could finish speaking, the sharp knife stabbed forward a few more inches, and the younger brother holding the knife covered his mouth, not wanting him to cry out.

The three didn't struggle for long, and after a dozen breaths, they were all motionless.

The younger brother holding the knife reached out and felt their breath, and then said to the leader: "Brother Feishu, it's done."

Feishu nodded: "If you hear Brother Lengshe's signal later, carry the three of them over," he instructed the people around him, and everyone responded softly.

Suddenly, he thought of something again and instructed again: "By the way, search the surrounding area to see if there is anyone. If there is, kill them directly."

Hearing this, Yixin's heart sank. He slowly activated the true essence in his body and poured it into the Moonlight Gu, and the Moonlight Mark in his palm glowed slightly.

As long as someone approached, he could immediately strike and kill them.

The situation was indeed as he thought, and several people were walking towards the bushes where he was.

"They're coming." The Moon Blade in Yixin's hand was ready to be launched. "No, these people are standing too far apart. If they were standing together, I could annihilate them all. Just solving these few will alert the enemy."

In order to increase the attack range of the Moon Blade, Yixin increased the output of true essence. Seeing that those people were exploring and getting closer and closer, Yixin had already made the worst plan: solve these few, and then escape, after all, with the true essence reserve of a Rank 1 Intermediate, he can't unleash the Moon Blade many times.

One of the younger brothers was walking in the direction directly facing Yixin. Before long, he reached the bushes where Yixin was hiding.

"Ah~ There's no one here, Brother Feishu is too cautious," he muttered.

The night was dark, and he was obviously sleepy, just aimlessly stroking the bushes beside him.

One step, two steps,

Three steps, four steps,

The other party got closer and closer, but Yixin became more and more calm. He turned his palm inward, so that the faint light emitted by the Moonlight Mark would not be exposed. He firmly locked onto the younger brother's neck, as long as he flicked his arm, he could prevent him from making any sound.

Five steps, six steps!

His hand had stopped in front of Yixin. As long as he gently pushed aside the bushes, Yixin would have nowhere to hide.

"This is the last bush, I'll flip it over and then I'm done, I'm so sleepy," the younger brother muttered, hurriedly preparing to flip open the bushes.

Yixin's arm was slightly bent, the Moon Blade…

"Hmm~"

A whistle came from afar.

"Everyone come over! Brother Lengshe sent the signal." Feishu called out to the surroundings.

In an instant, the scattered crowd rushed back, and soon gathered together.

"Good opportunity!"

Yixin immediately jumped out of the bushes, and the light of the Moonlight Mark burst out.

"Listen, everyone go over there, you guys quickly carry these three over," Feishu acted quickly and immediately arranged it.

"You remember… What!"

Before the others could turn their heads, a ghostly blue light blade had already flown into the crowd, and suddenly, limbs were severed and blood splattered.

"Gu Master!" Feishu immediately leaned down to dodge, without even looking, and ran wildly towards the rear.

"I must immediately tell this news to Brother Kuang!" Feishu was terrified, he opened his mouth to shout: "Kuang…"

Before his tone could rise, an extremely fast Moon Blade passed through his eyes, and the words he uttered were no longer heard.

He was decapitated.

Ahead, Kuang Ao and Lengshe were staring at Gou Da's corpse.

"Heh, is this the Gu world?"

A bitter smile echoed from the silent bedroom.

The morning light shone into the window, and shouts echoed in his ears.

"Yixin, get up and eat, are you still sleeping?"

Yixin got up blankly, yawning, and left the bedroom.

"What's wrong? Did you sleep late last night?" Gu Yue Qingyao happily placed the bowls and chopsticks.

Yixin raised his eyes and saw that two people were already sitting at the small dining table.

One was a teenager, about the same age as himself, with bandages wrapped around his back, and a firm expression on his face.

One was a girl, delicate and beautiful, lively and charming, helping her mother.

Yixin chuckled: "It's okay, I just had some insomnia." After he sat down, he asked the two of them: "A Niu, A Lan, how are you? Are you okay?"

Hearing Yixin's voice, A Niu was startled: "I'm okay too, Gu… Gu Master."

A Lan couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, what are you doing, you scared him."

It turned out that after solving Lengshe and Kuang Ao, Yixin brought them back home. After witnessing that kind of scene, Yixin was worried that they would be frightened, so he asked his mother to comfort them. That night, he watched them fall asleep.

Sometimes you can't help but marvel at how wonderful fate is. One encounter may be a lifetime of relationship.

After eating breakfast, A Niu followed Yixin out the door.

"Uncle Haiying, this is A Niu. Aren't you still recruiting workers? What do you think of him?" Yixin introduced to a middle-aged man with graying temples.

Bai Haiying looked him up and down: "Well, his physique is okay, although he's still a bit thin."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Yixin's shoulder: "Since you introduced him, I'm definitely relieved. It's you who needs to eat more, you're a Gu Master now."

Bai Haiying was the owner of the inn. Yixin used to work here often and received a lot of care from him. Hearing his concern, Yixin readily agreed, assuring him that he would exercise well in the future.

"Okay, now that you've become a Gu Master, you have to cultivate well. What's your cultivation level now?" Bai Haiying led A Niu and Yixin into the house.

"Rank 1 Intermediate."

……

"A Lan, what does this mean? I can't accept this." Gu Ye Qingyao put the jade pendant back into A Lan's hand.

"Aunt Qingyao, this is a decision my brother and I made. Please give it to Brother Yixin." A Lan looked sincere, and the tears in her eyes contained unspeakable sadness.

Gu Yue Qingyao felt a pain in her heart and hugged her in her arms. "Child, although I don't know what you have experienced, don't worry, this will be your home in the future, and Auntie and Brother Yixin will protect you."

Hearing Gu Ye Qingyao's words, A Lan's tears suddenly burst: "It's so good to meet Auntie and Brother Yixin."

Before I knew it, a day had passed. Yixin returned to the bedroom. He sat on the bed, looking at the three items placed there, his expression slightly沉.

One was a jade pendant, which had a warm aura in his hand, like a living thing.

The other was a strangely shaped stone, like a crouching eagle, with chain-like marks engraved on it.

And the other was a blood-red stone, revealing an ominous aura.
