Chapter 264: Pursuit.

Faced with such an aggressive situation that couldn't be explained in a few words, Li Mochou quickly grew annoyed and didn't bother explaining anything.

With no way to explain, she could only fight.

However, in a one-on-one fight, Li Mochou could handle Sun Buer, but against Qiu Chuji, she seemed powerless. Even though her martial arts were effective against Quanzhen Sect martial arts, and this place was Quanzhen, surrounded by Quanzhen Taoists,

Li Mochou was quickly overwhelmed and on the verge of defeat.

As she was suppressed, her eyes were filled with rage. She even looked at the Quanzhen Taoists with a glint of murderous intent and brutality. If she could, she would have wanted to slaughter them all.

However, facing Qiu Chuji's rage, Li Mochou had no power to harm anyone else. Furthermore, with Ma Yu, Wang Chuyi, and other Taoists guarding her, Li Mochou stood no chance.

Snap!

Qiu Chuji, using his own internal energy, far greater than Li Mochou's, knocked the sword from Li Mochou's hand. Just as he was about to strike her, a white silk ribbon flew by, deflecting Qiu Chuji's sword. The silk ribbon then twisted and wrapped around Li Mochou's waist, yanking her up into the air.

The other Quanzhen sect members instinctively tried to intervene, but Ma Yu stopped them. They watched helplessly as the white ribbon carried Li Mochou away.

"Big Brother, you—"

"Let her go. The one who attacked later is probably from the back mountain, and given their strength, we might not be able to stop them," Ma Yu said, shaking his head. "

But Zhiping, Zhibing, and the others—" Qiu Chuji couldn't help but wonder.

"Zhi Bing and Zhi Ping might not have been the victim of this young lady. I think this young lady, while having a bit of a temper, doesn't seem like someone who would lie. Since she says it wasn't her, it clearly wasn't her," Ma Yu persuaded Qiu Chuji, and of course, Ma Yu truly believed this.

After finally calming Qiu Chuji down, Ma Yu couldn't help but sigh.

While their Quanzhen Sect was quite renowned in the Song Dynasty, its fame almost entirely stemmed from their master, Wang Chongyang.

Besides Wang Chongyang, a Grandmaster, their only remaining Grandmaster was their uncle, Zhou Botong, whose whereabouts were unknown. Besides that, the Seven Quanzhen disciples were all in the Xiantian realm, barely holding their own. The Ancient Tomb Sect, while limited in number, did have Grandmasters besides Lin Chaoying. How could these Xiantian-level scumbags possibly stop the Ancient Tomb Sect's disciples? Even if they could actually injure them, they might just come knocking on their door the next day.

Unless their master, Wang Chongyang, who had been in seclusion, emerged, they would be powerless to defeat the Ancient Tomb Sect.

...

"Mochou, why did you intrude upon the Quanzhen Sect in the middle of the night?" Li Mochou's master frowned at her, a questioning look in his eyes.

Li Mochou's master looked to be around thirty years old and quite beautiful, though with a rather aloof demeanor. He was also dressed in white, and the white dress worn by Xiaolongnu was most likely his.

"Master, I went to the Quanzhen Sect to look for someone," Li Mochou explained, lowering her head.

"Looking for someone? When did you meet that stinky Quanzhen Taoist priest?" Li Mochou's master seemed even more enraged.

"Master, I don't know that stinky Quanzhen Taoist priest. The person I'm looking for isn't that stinky Quanzhen Taoist priest at all. It's someone else..."

Li Mochou tried to explain, but the diary's limitations prevented her from saying much. She faltered, unable to explain anything clearly, and was subsequently punished with solitary confinement.

This result filled Li Mochou's face with dismay, and it also made her even more furious with Ye Xiu. She wished she could find Ye Xiu and bite him down.

...

Ye Xiu naturally had no idea how deeply Li Mochou hated him. After physically castrating Zhen Zhibing and Yin Zhiping, he felt so relieved that he fell asleep immediately upon returning home. His slumber was even more restless than usual. Wuqing,

however, had been eager to find Ye Xiu. After reading Ye Xiu's diary today, she immediately knew where he was. If it weren't too late, she would have wanted to find Zhuge Shenhou and have him send people to Zhongnan Mountain to search for Ye Xiu immediately.

As for Dongfang Bubai and the others, seeing Ye Xiu mention his whereabouts in his diary again, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

As long as Ye Xiu couldn't change the way he mentioned his whereabouts in his diary, Ye Xiu's whereabouts would definitely be discovered. Even thinking about disguising himself to prevent others from finding him was a pipe dream.

However, the only women who could find Ye Xiu through the diary were the ones he had written about, so Ye Xiu wouldn't be in much danger. After all, few would pass up the adventure the diary offered.

The opportunity was simply too great. It could make the diary's owner a Grandmaster, a celestial being, or even a terrestrial immortal. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Anyone with even a little common sense wouldn't pass up such an opportunity. Even if Ye Xiu's favorability towards them was initially low and they didn't stand a chance of gaining anything, most would choose to, like Zhu Yuyan, find ways to raise Ye Xiu's favorability and secure a greater reward.

Therefore, Dongfang Bubai and the others were relatively confident in Ye Xiu's safety.

In their opinion, as long as Pang Ban didn't find Ye Xiu, he wouldn't be in any danger.

Unfortunately, they didn't know for sure. While the diary's owner might harbor no ill will towards Ye Xiu, there were always those whose actions would have repercussions, potentially implicating him.

For example—

Ye Xiu had been in Zhongnan Mountain for almost two days. During these two days, he'd been wandering around aimlessly, wondering if he should find a place to settle down and settle down for a year or two, so he could improve his strength first.

After all, even if Ye Xiu wasn't in a rush to travel, the constant journey on horseback was tiresome.

But where could he find a better place to settle down?

The foot of Zhongnan Mountain was relatively peaceful, but perhaps it was because of its location and proximity to the Quanzhen Sect.

The living conditions here weren't particularly impressive; there weren't any fancy brothels or stunning courtesans.

Even if Ye Xiu didn't want to stay in a brothel overnight, listening to music during the day would be enough to pass the time.

After all, Ye Xiu's strength improved rapidly simply by keeping a diary, so he hadn't developed the habit of devoting significant time to martial arts practice. This resulted in a surprisingly large amount of free time.

Unfortunately, this world didn't have computers, mobile phones, or the internet, so Ye Xiu had no good projects to do to pass the time.

This was also why Ye Xiu rode his horse around everywhere. It was mainly because being alone in a world with nothing was really boring.

It had been fine in Huashan before. With so many beautiful women around, playing poker or whatever was just idle, it was such a leisurely experience. Time flew by without a second thought, and I never felt bored like I do now.

"Forget it, I'll just wander around a bit." Ye Xiu shook his head, deciding to leave and explore somewhere else.

So, Ye Xiu mounted his swift horse, picked a random direction, and began to move forward.

As Ye Xiu left the foot of Zhongnan Mountain and headed towards other places, he encountered groups of people riding fast.

They seemed in a hurry, and it was unclear what they were going to do.

Ye Xiu rode leisurely, moving aside to allow them to pass.

"This is the third group of people. I don't know what's going on, but they look so anxious," Ye Xiu muttered, finally shaking his head. "Forget it, it's none of my business anyway."

Just as Ye Xiu was thinking this, a group of people on horseback came galloping from the front. As usual, Ye Xiu moved aside to avoid them.

Just as the group of people rode past Ye Xiu, one of them casually glanced at Ye Xiu, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

"Boss, look at that guy's horse. It's a fine horse, even a thousand-mile horse," the man shouted to the leader of their group.

"Stop!"

Whoosh—

the galloping horse quickly stopped.

The leader of the group cast his gaze directly at Ye Xiu, or more precisely, at the thousand-mile horse under Ye Xiu's crotch.

The man stared sharply at the horse under Ye Xiu's crotch, carefully examining it from top to bottom, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

Ye Xiu couldn't help but frown. Ye Xiu felt that he might be in trouble.

His horse had been recognized by this group of people, and even taken a fancy to it. He just didn't know if they would rob it.

Ye Xiu thought so in his heart, but he didn't feel any fear. Instead, he felt a little eager to try.

The main reason was that Ye Xiu's diary had been quite dull during this period, so much so that he was just looking for something to do.

Furthermore, anyone who saw someone riding a nice horse and tried to steal it was destined to achieve nothing. They were probably just small-time scoundrels, and Ye Xiu didn't think they posed any threat.

"Go, capture him!" The leader waved his hand at Ye Xiu.

"Yes, boss!" The men rushed towards Ye Xiu, apparently intent on capturing him and taking his steed from him.

Ye Xiu scoffed and leaped from his horse with a fury: "Wind God Kick—"

Instantly, countless kicks filled the air, their numbers not only numerous but also incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiu had sent all the attackers flying.

They fell to the ground, some unconscious, others even dead.

The leader, the only one who hadn't joined, broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Ye Xiu instantly dispatch all of his men.

"Who are you?" the leader stammered.

Ye Xiu rolled his eyes. You were the ones who wanted to steal my horse, but now it seemed as if he was the one setting them up.

Ye Xiu didn't bother to deal with him. With a flick of his finger, a sharp sword flew up from the scattered weapons on the ground, piercing the leader.

Startled,

the leader drew his sword to block. However, the force of the incoming sword was beyond his expectations, severing his sword and piercing his body.

Bang!

The leader collapsed to the ground, dead.

Trying to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Xiu imitated Zhu Yuyan and finished off the remaining survivors one by one.

With all of them dead, no one would know of Ye Xiu's presence.

After finishing off the last blow, Ye Xiu mounted his Qianli BMW and sped off, quickly disappearing, leaving only a field of corpses.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of horse hooves echoed from the direction of Zhongnan Mountain. The troops that had been heading there had returned. Seeing the bodies scattered across the ground, their faces changed.

"Most of these people were killed with a single strike. The enemy is a master!"

someone exclaimed after examining the bodies.

Hearing this, the expressions of the others grew even more cautious.

...

"Kill!"

Just as Ye Xiu rode through a forest, a roar erupted from within. A group of men in black quickly emerged, weapons drawn, charging towards Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu frowned as he watched the men charging towards him.

This was the umpteenth time he had been surrounded and attacked, and Ye Xiu found it truly irritating.

These men, as if they had their sights set on him, would frequently appear before Ye Xiu, shouting and calling for his death.

Besides these overt threats of killing, there were also more insidious tactics, such as poisoning and traps.

However, Ye Xiu's martial arts skills were profound, giving him a high resistance to most poisons. Coupled with the frequent assassination attempts, Ye Xiu naturally became more vigilant. This meant they had fewer opportunities to poison him.

Therefore, so far, Ye Xiu had remained unharmed.

Facing the oncoming attackers, Ye Xiu unsheathed the broadsword from his waist and charged.

Ye Xiu's movements were bizarre, and his swordsmanship was even more bizarre. Each strike of his sword evoked paths unimaginable to ordinary people, even etched with blood. He looked nothing like a serious person, but rather a master of the magecraft.

Puff, puff, puff—

the blood-red broadsword swiftly slashed through the necks of the attackers, and in a shower of blood, all of them perished under Ye Xiu's bloody blade.

"Damn, this is truly bizarre! I've already changed my appearance, even bought a broadsword, and haven't even used my Wind God Kick or swordsmanship anymore. How could they still be chasing me?" Ye Xiu was filled with questions.

At the beginning, Ye Xiu met a group of guys not far from Zhongnan Mountain who had taken a fancy to his Thousand-Li Horse, so he killed them directly.

Not long after, Ye Xiu was chased again. He thought that the other party had left some clues before his death, so he knew that he was the one who killed him, so he came to hunt him down.

After killing several waves of people, Ye Xiu really felt annoyed, so he chose to change his appearance, changed his face, and even bought a machete to conceal his identity.

But he didn't expect that he would be hunted down again.

Ye Xiu couldn't help but look at the Thousand-Li Horse beside him.

"That group of people chased me, could it be because of you?" Ye Xiu muttered to the horse.

Come to think of it, it seemed that Ye Xiu was being hunted down in the beginning because of this steed. Later, he kept riding the steed, and even after changing his appearance, these people were still able to catch up with him and hunt him down. Ye Xiu felt that the problem might be with the steed.

However, this steed was still a fine horse after all, and it was also a gift from Shang Xiuxun. He was a little reluctant to abandon the steed like this.

The main reason was that Ye Xiu had developed a little bit of affection for the horse during the time he had been riding it, and he really couldn't bear to abandon the steed.

"No, I have to investigate who is chasing me so relentlessly. First, I have to find a place to leave the horse, and then I'll investigate the real culprit behind the pursuit of me. After I've dealt with him, I'll take the horse back." Ye Xiu thought silently in his heart.

...

"Damn, this is never-ending. I was chased several times today, and I even changed my appearance again. I didn't even use the Wind God Leg, Deadly Sword Technique and other martial arts that I used before. I switched to a broadsword, but I didn't expect to be caught up by this group of people."

"I think I can see that they are chasing me because of my Thousand-Li Horse."

"That group of people have been eyeing my Thousand-Li Horse since the beginning, so as long as I keep riding the Thousand-Li Horse, they will follow the Thousand-Li Horse to find me."

"I will find a place to store the Thousand-Li Horse tomorrow, and then investigate the people who are chasing me, and then find out the mastermind behind the pursuit and get rid of it, and then I will take the horse back." "

Damn it, I used to be so bored every day, and I didn't know what to do, so I could only wander around every day. Now I don't have to worry about not knowing what to do. I'm busy being chased every day, and I don't feel bored anymore."

"But it's really annoying. The martial arts of this group of people are not that good. The most powerful master who appeared before was just a guy at the third level of the Grandmaster Realm. He is not an opponent in one round at all. Like other people, he is just an ant that I can crush to death with ease." "

I just don't know if there are any more powerful masters behind."

"But I think there shouldn't be any. At least there shouldn't be any grandmaster-level masters."

"After all, no matter which country it is, grandmaster-level masters are quite rare. A force that can chase after a thousand-mile horse relentlessly and never give up is probably not worthy of having a grandmaster." "

No matter what, we have to find a way to deal with this mastermind, otherwise we will really have no way to keep this thousand-mile horse. Unless we leave the Song Dynasty directly."

"Even if we leave the Song Dynasty, we may encounter countless hunts on the road."

"Damn it, I have killed almost a hundred people in total. Doesn't the mastermind feel sorry at all?"

"Although there is only one grandmaster among these hundreds of people, this should still make people feel sad. Unless he is a celestial being like Pang Ban, even a grandmaster may not have many grandmasters under him, and every death of one should be very painful."

"But will the forces of celestial beings fight endlessly for a horse? This is obviously impossible."

"Besides, does the Song Dynasty have celestial beings?"

"Well, there should be."

"After all, the Mongols have always been eyeing the Ming and Song Dynasties. The Mongols have the celestial being Pang Ban. On the Ming side, there is the celestial being Zhang Sanfeng, and even Pang Ban's destined opponent Lang Fanyun, so the Mongols did not send troops to the Ming Dynasty. What about the Song Dynasty? The Mongols did not send troops to the Song Dynasty, probably because the Song Dynasty has a celestial being in charge."

"But, a celestial being! If the Song Dynasty has a celestial being, who would that celestial being be?"

"The Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai? Dugu Qiubai's status is quite high. 'For more than thirty years, I have roamed the martial arts world, killed all enemies, defeated all heroes, and had no rivals in the world. I am helpless and can only live in seclusion in a deep valley, with eagles as friends. Alas! I have searched for an opponent in my life but could not find one. It is truly lonely and embarrassing.' There is also the sharp sword used before the age of twenty, the soft sword used before the age of thirty, the heavy sword used to roam the world before the age of forty, and the wooden sword used after the age of forty. These realms." "

In this world of Zongwu, the strength of the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai is probably even stronger. Maybe he is a celestial being. And Tong Lao's master Xiaoyaozi may also be a celestial being."

"Apart from them, Guan Qi, who was finally captured by aliens, may also be a celestial being. Apart from them, there should be no other."

"These three, no matter which one, I think it is impossible for them to establish a force that will not give up because of Qianlima. Well, Dugu Qiubai is impossible, Xiaoyaozi is also impossible, and as for Guan Qi, he has a problem with his brain, and he should not have the time to establish any force, unless it is the Mi Tian League. However, there is also a mess between the Mi Tian League and Guan Qi, and it should have nothing to do with this group of people."

"As for the Grandmaster? Hehehe, I have already reached the third level of Grandmaster cultivation. In just one or two days, I will be able to become the fourth level of Grandmaster cultivation and become a master of the Zhixuan realm. Coupled with my martial arts and the body of the God of War, even if I meet the Tianxiang Grandmaster,

I will be able to escape." "So as long as I don't provoke the celestial beings, I will not be in any danger now."

"So, I want to see who is the mastermind behind this force that is hunting me."

"Just pray, pray that I catch you later, so that you can live two more days."
