Xiang Nan pondered for a moment and said, "Master, let's go back to the sect. We've already killed a few Heaven Scryer Realm experts. If we want to get angry, it's enough. Besides, they can't do anything to me."
"Are you afraid?" Xu Caiyue glanced at Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan nodded."Yes, I'm afraid. I've been fighting all the way from west to east. I don't know how to write, because I'm doomed."
"But Master is so grateful to me. If you drag Master down because of me, even if I die a hundred times, I won't be able to atone for my sins."
"The Heavenly Profound Sect has been eyeing us covetously. Previously, there were high-level Heavenly Profound Sect martial practitioners in the Western Regions. I'm afraid that they will be disadvantageous to Master."
Xu Caiyue said, "If they want to come, just come. I'm your master. If I don't even protect you, who else in this world will protect you?"
Xiang Nan was moved and wanted to speak, but he heard a voice from afar.
"In front is Xu Caiyue, Lord Xu."
The voice came from a very far distance, and a middle-aged man walked over with his hands behind his back.
This person took a step forward and was hundreds of kilometers away. He had already arrived in front of Xiang Nan and the other two with just three steps and two steps.
The middle-aged man cupped his fists at Xu Caiyue and said, "I am the deputy commander of the three armies of the Western Regions, Zhou Zhuo."
"In the early years, the Western Regions offended the Central Plains. When the two countries fought, it was Old Master Tian Dao who personally intervened to prevent the destruction of our Western Regions."
"We have never dared to forget such kindness. Since Lord Xu has personally arrived today, we will definitely be friends with the landlord."
Xiang Nan sized up Zhou Zhuo and realized that he couldn't see through the person's realm. He was afraid that he wasn't below Xu Caiyue.
Xu Caiyue frowned and said, "I've let you say good things, but you've also done bad things. The Western Regions' black and white dao intercepted and killed my disciple, and your Western Regions' military also had a share in it. What do you say?"
Zhou Zhuo smiled and said, "I already know about this matter. It was done by the middle-level generals of our army. Our upper echelons do not know about it."
As he spoke, Zhou Zhuo waved his hand, and a person in the distance was bound by Yuan Qi and pulled in front of him.
This person was wearing the uniform of a middle-level general, his arms were wrapped in Yuan Qi, and he stood beside Zhou Zhuo with a panicked expression.
Zhou Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Apologize to Little friend Xiang."
The middle-level general was obviously unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey Zhou Zhuo's orders. He could only bow to Xiang Nan.
"Is this the end?" Xu Caiyue said calmly, "Disciple, give him a bow. After that, Master will kill him and avenge you."
"Ah, Lord Xu, you can't do this." Zhou Zhuo hurriedly said, "Although I am a high-ranking military official, I am still a martial artist. I am still clear about the rules of the martial world."
"The grudges between the juniors should be resolved by the free juniors. We, the elders, must not interfere."
"If all the high-level martial artists in the world began to massacre the younger generation, then the bloodline of this world of martial arts would be broken."
What Zhou Zhuo said was correct. This was an unwritten rule in the martial world, because high-level martial artists were too powerful. If they were not restricted, as long as they waved their hands, tens of thousands of young martial artists would die instantly.
Therefore, the battles between people of the same age must be resolved by people of the same age. Even masters and elders cannot interfere forcefully.
Xu Caiyue said, "Then why are you Heaven Scryer Realm martial artists chasing after my disciple?"
Zhou Zhuo said, "There are only a few Heaven Scryer Realm martial artists chasing after Xiang Nan. Now, you've killed almost all of them."
"Actually, I've noticed you since the moment you stepped into the Western Regions. However, I didn't interfere when you killed people because it was those Heaven Scryer Realm martial artists who committed their own crimes and deserved to die."
"Also, Feng Zhou Xu, don't forget one thing."
Zhou Zhuo smiled and said, "Xiang Nan is from the Central Plains, but he was hunted down in our Western Regions. You are also from the Central Plains, yet you chased him to our Western Regions to kill him. No matter what, that doesn't make sense."
"For many years, our Western Regions martial practitioners have committed crimes in the Central Plains, and countless of them have been killed by your Central Plains people. Have you ever seen my Western Regions experts go to the Central Plains to collect debts?"
"Things need to be organized. One yard is one yard. You can't confuse them."
Zhou Zhuo's tone was very calm, neither aggressive nor humble.
Xu Caiyue thought for a moment and finally nodded."What you said makes sense. I can't refute it."
"Thank you, Lord Xu, for your understanding." Zhou Zhuo cupped his fists and said, "You know, the situation in the Western Regions is very chaotic. Most of the time, it is not up to our military to decide. Those dark forces have taken root here all year round, which is also a headache for our military."
"Besides, you know who the mastermind is this time. It's not that our Western Regions wants to make things difficult for Xiang Nan, but that others are trying to interfere."
The person Zhou Zhuo was referring to was naturally referring to the The Profound Sky Sect.
Zhou Zhuo added, "But don't worry, I will personally look for those dark forces next. I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
"Alright." Xu Caiyue nodded and said, "Since you said it yourself, I'll believe you once. Xiang Nan, let's go."
Xu Caiyue released a strand of Yuan Qi and flew towards the east with Xiang Nan.
After Xu Caiyue walked away, a killing intent suddenly appeared on Zhou Zhuo's smiling face.
He turned to look at the tied general and said coldly, "Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"
The general was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.
Zhou Zhuo said, "In front of outsiders, I'm protecting you. That's for the sake of protecting the face of our Western Regions military."
"But now, it's time for you to pay the price for your own stupidity."
After saying that, Zhou Zhuo waved his hand, and the tied-up general didn't even utter a single word and immediately turned into ashes.
"As a general in the army, I am unable to contribute to the army. Instead, I am causing trouble everywhere. What use do I want you to be?" Zhou Zhuo waved his sleeve and left angrily.
"Master, I miss my family. I want to go home and take a look." Xiang Nan said.
Xu Caiyue said, "Yes, but don't reveal my identity. I don't think it's troublesome."
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded.
The The Xiang Clan was located at the southwest border, not far from the Western Regions. With Xu Caiyue's flying speed, she would arrive in less than half an hour.
When the two arrived at Bluestone Town, they discovered that the town was very lively. Xiang Nan only found out after a little inquiry that today was a big day.
The two most influential figures in Bluestone Town lived a long life! One was the eightieth birthday of the The Xiang Clan 's Old Master Xiang Zhanxiong, and the other was the sixtieth birthday of the Wang Clan's Wang Chanhe Clan Master.
Because Xiang Nan entered the Haoran Sect and shone brightly in the twelve joint examinations, the The Xiang Clan 's status rose by leaps and bounds, and it could be said that there was no difference in the limelight.
But then, they heard that the Blazing Fire Sect had submitted to the Heavenly Profound Sect, and the Heavenly Profound Sect had personally taken Wang Xiaoyun as a core disciple to nurture. As a result, the limelight of the Wang Clan, which had just been suppressed by the The Xiang Clan, had risen again.
No one dared to provoke the forces behind these two clans within the small Bluestone City.
As a result, City Lord Hong Zhen, who was about to rise to an official position, personally hosted the event and invited the two longevity stars to the City Lord's Mansion to celebrate their longevity together before leaving.
Xiang Nan felt embarrassed. He did not know about his grandfather's birthday. What was more, his grandfather was actually born on the same day as Wang Changhe.
