C9 Meridian and Meridian

After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Shi Soong finally slowly woke up. He opened his eyes tiredly and looked around. He saw that he was currently lying in a room that was relatively well-decorated.

"Where is this place?" Shi Soong was shocked and was about to sit up when a wave of pain came from all over his body. It was so painful that he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

He fell back on the bed and panted heavily, trying his best to ease the pain on his body. Shi Soong was surprised to find that his body was bandaged. Apparently, someone treated him while he was still unconscious.

Shi Soong tried his best to think, frowning for a moment as he finally recalled the gist of what had happened. He was greatly shocked and cried out involuntarily, "Martial Uncle Xie …"

However, after quickly looking around, there was no one else in the room other than himself.

At this time, with a creaking sound, the door to the room was opened and a person walked into the room. Shi Soong's heart skipped a beat and he cried out: "Martial Uncle Xie!"

Turning his head to look, he saw that the person who had come was tall and sturdy, his waist was thick and arms were round, and his face was full of thick beard.

How was this Martial Uncle Xie? The one who came was Constable of Bear-catching Camp, the one who they met in front of the city gate.

Constable of Bear-catching Camp was carrying a bowl of freshly brewed medicine. When he saw Shi Soong wake up, he quickly walked over with a happy expression on his face.

"Who are you? …" Shi Soong looked at the burly man and asked in shock. This Barbarian who fought with him just in a few words was actually bringing him medicine now!

"Haha, I'm Constable of Bear-catching Camp and Mu Touwu, everyone call me Mu Laoban, call me Ol 'Five!" Mu Touwu answered in a clear voice.

"It was really an accident outside the city gate, really an accident!" As Mu Laoban carefully placed the medicine on the wooden table beside his bed, he kept emphasizing it.

After Mu Touwu said this, Shi Soong finally understood the gist of it and understood the whole story.

It turned out that last night, when Constable of Bear-catching Camp and Mu Touwu were inspecting the Hee Mansion, there were actually two men in green robes who found him.

When Mu Touwu heard this, he was extremely happy, because he was waiting for Skylark Sect to leave, and outsiders did not know of this matter, so at that time, he did not suspect anything, and led the two people into the Hee Mansion.

While they were talking, Mu Touwu noticed that the two of them had an unusual expression and their words were full of contradictions. He just remembered that they wanted to check each other's identity cards, but unexpectedly, the other party had faltered and said that they lost their identity cards.

"With my years of experience as a constable, I immediately realized that there was a problem!" Mu Touwu said happily.

Sure enough, after several questions, the two men in green robes quickly revealed themselves. At that instant, the two of them suddenly attacked Mu Touwu and took advantage of Mu Touwu's moment of helplessness to escape.

Mu Touwu was infuriated. He immediately brandished his blade and chased after the source of the sound. He chased all the way to a remote alley in the city's corner.

"And then?" Shi Soong asked when he saw the sullen look on Mu Touwu's face.

"Later, at a crucial moment, a phenomenon suddenly took place in the sky …" Mu Touwu said slowly. His face was still filled with shock. Obviously, he was still shocked by the world that he saw last night.

Wu Tie nodded and understood what Mu Touwu meant.

Mu Touwu continued, "At that time, I was really shocked. When I came back to my senses, I couldn't find any trace of those two anymore."

Mu Touwu said angrily, "If it wasn't for that sky phenomenon, they would not have been able to escape!"

After a pause, Mu Touwu spitted out his tongue and said: "Strange things happen every year, but these few days are surprisingly much more!"

However, he didn't know that the two azure-robed men were also planning to kill him. It was the sudden change in the sky that allowed him to escape this calamity. Otherwise, it would be difficult to predict what would happen afterwards.

When Shi Soong heard what he said, he thought back for a while and couldn't help but laugh.

"In the end, those two bandits escaped. When I returned to Hee Mansion, I discovered that there was a huge fire there!" Mu Touwu didn't notice Shi Soong's reaction. He was still immersed in that night's situation, so he couldn't help but clench his fist in frustration.

Shi Soong suddenly remembered that on the hillside of Yanhui Mountain, he saw a flame in Yanhui City. Thinking about it now, what he saw at that time was probably the fire in Hee Mansion.

It seemed like the two men in green were trying to lure Mu Touwu away on purpose, while telling their accomplices to search for an opportunity to prevent fire. Shi Soong thought to himself in his heart.

As a result, this morning, when I saw that you called yourself Great Hero Xie and your words were contradictory, I got angry and thought you were pretending to be Great Hero Xie. That's why a misunderstanding happened.

Mu Touwu suddenly stood up and cupped his fist and smiled apologetically at Shi Soong.

In fact, he really was pretending to be Martial Uncle Xie. Although he was injured and in other situations, Mu Touwu wouldn't think of him as a bandit even if he was carefully investigated. However, he was cheated and attacked once, so he was very suspicious of him.

"It wasn't until you fainted and we treated you and found out that your identity card was indeed a Skylark Sect walker that you understood. I brought you to the government post at once. " Mu Touwu still had an apologetic look.

Only then did Shi Soong realize that he was in an official's inn. He smiled and comforted, "This is unavoidable, I'm responsible as well, so let's not talk about it." It was already quite good for the other party to help him treat his injuries, there was no need for him to worry about this anymore.

"That's right," Shi Soong thought for a moment and immediately asked anxiously, "Is Martial Uncle Xie here yet?"

"Thank you, Hero …" Mu Touwu's expression immediately turned grave, "Up until today, when I was guarding the city gate and brought you back to treat your injuries, I also asked another brother to watch over for me. Before I came over, I even asked, but I still didn't see Hero Xie!"

Mu Touwu turned around and said to Shi Soong, "We've been waiting for you to wake up so we can understand what happened."

Mu Touwu looked at Shi Soong, his face full of questions.

Shi Soong couldn't help but look out the window. The sky had already darkened.

"You've been unconscious for most of the day. It's already evening." Mu Touwu knew what Shi Soong wanted to know, so he told him directly.

Shi Soong let out a sigh. He organized his thoughts and roughly told them what happened last night on Yangma Ancient Road, especially how the four Barbarian's and the old man's strengths were strong. Of course, he concealed the embarrassing scene of him being hit on the head by one of them.

"These people are actually so powerful?" Mu Touwu was shocked.

He believed in the strength of Skylark Sect. Mu Touwu couldn't help but be shocked at the strength of the masked men, for they were able to injure Skylark Sect to such an extent.

"And then? How did you get out? " Mu Touwu asked.

Shi Soong sighed again.

At that moment, Shi Soong thought that if he lost his life, he would die on the spot.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden change in the sky. Yellow-robed Elder was extremely shocked by the strange phenomenon. He mumbled some unfathomable words. His face was filled with surprise, and the palm he used to wave his strength was frozen on the spot.

In a moment of confusion, Yellow-robed Elder seemed to have forgotten about Wu Tie. He ignored him and ran back towards the direction of Barbarian.

The sudden appearance of that strange phenomenon had saved Shi Soong's life.

Shi Soong tried his best to support his body and return to the Yangma Ancient Road to look for Xie Yun. However, other than a few traces of intense battles, he could not find any other clues from the desolate Yangma Ancient Road.

In the end, under his helplessness, Shi Soong could only follow his promise with Xie Yun and go to Yanhui City first. He struggled to keep up with his stumbling steps until he finally arrived at the city gate, only to run into Mu Touwu, who was extremely godlike like like the other four Barbarian.

Shi Soong, who was physically and mentally at the end of his tether, finally passed out after a fierce struggle with the tough and strong Mu Touwu.

"Fortunately, Mu Touwu is the person that I have to meet with when I came to Yanhui City. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would have fallen to." Shi Soong also rejoiced in his heart.

However, after not seeing Martial Uncle Xie for a long time, Shi Soong could not help but be secretly worried. He was afraid that something would happen, especially when facing the powerful Yellow-robed Elder … Shi Soong was a little afraid to continue thinking about it.

After listening to Shi Soong's general story, Mu Touwu's face turned serious. He was also extremely worried about Xie Yun's safety.

After muttering to himself irresolutely, Mu Touwu then said to Wu Tie, "Like this, I will arrange people to carefully search through the Yangma Ancient Road during the night. I will also personally wait at the city gate all night. His words were meant to comfort Shi Soong.

Shi Soong nodded. Since it was inconvenient for him to move, he could only move.
