Chapter 567: Humans and Demons Living Together
Murong Ji was silent for a long time, but did not say another word. Thinking of what his mother had just said, he asked again: "My... are my father and brother really dead?"

Butler Fei was startled and a little surprised. He frowned and said, "Your brother is indeed not dead. Xiao Wancheng changed his surname to Xiao Ning. He is now learning the Xiao family's inherited magic."

"As for your father, I don't know..."

Murong Ji was silent for a while, and was a little speechless. He still didn't understand Xiao Wancheng's train of thought. From the beginning to the end, he did not show any resistance to joining the Xiao family.

Why would they choose such an outrageous method? Even humiliation, to force him to join the Xiao family?

Has he really been so high and mighty for too long? Does he think that the Chen family is just a bunch of ants that he can easily kill? Is it his gift for Murong Ji to join the Xiao family?
Murong Ji frowned and saluted: "Thank you very much."

Without waiting for Butler Fei to respond, he dived into the ground and disappeared.

Butler Fei looked at the place where Murong Ji disappeared, frowned slightly and thought, "Xiao Wancheng's behavior before and after is somewhat contradictory... I remember that he was not this kind of person, when did he start to change?!"

After a long silence, Butler Fei said, "Xiao Wancheng, what on earth are you doing?!"

After Murong Ji reunited with Tu Shan Rongrong, he met up with Huang Shiren, and the two of them and a bull quickly headed towards the border between humans and demons.

He had also thought about going over to see Mu Renzhi, but given his situation, if he went there, Inspector Heiyao would follow closely and cause them unnecessary trouble.

Riding on the cow, Murong Ji looked back and couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, you and I are not destined to be together. I originally wanted to take you as my apprentice..."

Coming back to his senses, Murong Ji looked at the road ahead in silence.

They walked towards Tushan for four days. On the morning of the fifth day, they saw more and more disciples of the Yiqi Dao League along the way.

Murong felt a little uneasy, and the feeling became stronger and stronger. Without saying a word, he immediately changed the route.

Just a few days later.

The number of disciples of the Taoist Alliance increased again. In the sky, disciples of the Taoist Alliance kept flying past, and there were more and more checkpoints along the way.

For a moment, Murong Ji couldn't tell whether it was the disciples of the Dao League who searched here or Xiao Wancheng who found their whereabouts.

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Murong Ji looked at the valley hidden in the jungle not far away, and urged Huang Shiren to go in. He changed the appearance of himself, Huang Shiren, and Tushan Rongrong.

After walking out of the forest and returning to the official road, I felt much more at ease.

Three days and three days.

Murong Ji looked at the Manglian Mountain City in the distance and slowly exhaled. The uneasiness in his heart rose again. After thinking for a while, he decided not to enter the city.

Continuing along the official road, I could see Xiao Wancheng on the hill above the pass from a distance.

His heart skipped a beat, and then he held down the somewhat restless Tu Shan Rongrong and calmed Huang Shiren down.

Looking up, the disciples on both sides should not have noticed them, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened. After passing the checkpoint and being interrogated by the disciples of the Dao League, Murong Ji finally let out a long sigh.

Before leaving the country, Murong Ji looked up as he passed by the hill, and then he found that there was a child standing next to Xiao Wancheng.

If not Chen Ning, who else could it be? No, now it should be Xiao Ning.

Seeing that he was really not dead, Murong Ji felt relieved.

He slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Go!" urging Huang Shiren to hurry up.

After passing through several checkpoints blocked by the Taoist Alliance disciples, they finally survived this disaster safely.

[Going to Tushan, why does it feel like going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures? Except, there’s still a dead monkey missing. ]

Murong Ji suddenly smiled and said sinisterly: [That damn monkey should be suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain! Never be able to turn over again. ]

As soon as the thought came to mind, a shout suddenly came from behind.

"Chen Mi! Don't you want your brother anymore?"

Xiao Wancheng's voice gradually spread out and echoed in the valley. It was indeed somewhat miserable and sad. Those who didn't know the inside story would think that Murong Ji was a heartless person.

Murong Ji looked back, but the distance was too far to see clearly. He gathered his Qi around his eyes, but his sight gradually moved away, and Xiao Wancheng's miserable expression came into his eyes.

He has always known that Xiao Wancheng is a good actor with excellent acting skills and genuine feelings.

But so what?

He is not a real eight or nine-year-old child who can be easily deceived by him.

Turning around, the two men and the ox gradually disappeared on the official road.

On the distant hills.

Xiao Wancheng looked at the people and caravans coming and going below, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.

After shouting out, but getting no response for a long time, she became more and more annoyed. She turned to look at Xiao Ning beside her, and was furious when she saw him being silent. In the end, she held back and didn't lose her temper at him.

Xiao Wancheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked at the Xiao family members who were slowly walking up the mountain. Could it be that there was trace of Chen Mi? A smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

After the man walked up the mountain, Xiao Wancheng asked, "What's the matter? Have you found any trace of Xiao Mi?"

The man paused, looking embarrassed. He was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and then he said, "Go back to the master, there is no news about Xiao Mi, should we..."

"Okay, keep looking!" Xiao Wancheng's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he directly scolded, "A bunch of rubbish! I don't expect you to catch him! You can't even find any trace! Get out of here and do your work! Can't you be more careful!"

The man was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists and saluted, saying "Yes!" Looking at Xiao Wancheng's back, he wanted to say something else, but in the end he turned around and walked down the mountain in silence.

Xiao Wancheng had a gloomy face, with his hands behind his back. His eyes gradually became gloomy as he looked at the bottom of the hill, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your brother is really good at hiding."

When Xiao Wancheng's voice sounded, Xiao Ning shuddered all over and pursed his lips, but he didn't know what to say, so he simply lowered his head and said nothing.

"That's right. With the sophistication of his illusion technique, there's no way these mediocre people could find him. It's really difficult for them." Xiao Wancheng murmured.

Then his eyes turned cold, and he shouted again: "Chen Mi! Don't you even care about your father's life? Your father is still alive!"

As soon as the words fell, waves of sound rolled out and echoed back from the mountains.

Xiao Ning suddenly looked up, staring at Xiao Wancheng's back with burning eyes. His breathing became more and more rapid. He wanted to say something but held it back.

He lowered his head, but the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.

Xiao Wancheng waited for a while, but still got no response. He was a little disappointed and sighed, "I'm going to let him run away again this time."

Somewhat helplessly, Xiao Wancheng turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Ning behind him, then said: "Your mother is a woman from my Xiao family. If you can really compare with those geniuses who have obtained the secret teachings of the Taoist sect, the head of the Xiao family must be you."

"I have been keeping your father locked up. When you become successful, I will allow you two to recognize each other."

Xiao Ning suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiao Wancheng, and asked word by word: "Do you keep your word?"

"Hahahaha, of course it counts. I, Xiao Wancheng, don't even bother to lie to a child." Xiao Wancheng turned around, put his hands behind his back, and looked down at Xiao Ning condescendingly.

"Your brother taught you that sword move, didn't he? That move is really exquisite. He can strike out the sword before your thoughts come into your mind, and the sword moves as your mind moves! It's extremely fast. Can you tell me what this move is called?"

Xiao Ning lowered his eyebrows so that Xiao Wancheng could not see his expression, and then said, "Read it first."

"Well, it's a good name. If you can practice successfully and reach a certain level, apart from other things, this sword-controlling technique alone will be enough for you to benefit from for the rest of your life."

"Chen Mi has obtained the secret teachings of Taoism, and now he has passed them on to you. You now have the confidence to fight with the brats from other families. Don't let me down."

Xiao Ning took a deep breath and saluted like an adult, "Junior Xiao Ning, thank you for your cultivation. I am willing to pass on this sword technique to Master Tianhao."

Xiao Wancheng looked at Xiao Ning and sneered, "He is a little kid with a lot of tricks. Are all the people in the Chen family so tricky?"

"No need. Tianhao has good aptitude. The techniques passed down by our Xiao family are enough for him to practice. You just need to practice well and establish a good family for our Xiao family. That's enough."

on the official road.

Murong Ji rode Huang Shiren leisurely. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the increasingly small hills, his expression unchanged, he just glanced and then retracted his gaze, facing the setting sun, and walked slowly forward.

[Brother, see you later]

Three months later.

They stopped and walked along the way, getting closer and closer to Tushan. There were more and more monsters, and the phenomenon of humans and monsters living together also gradually appeared.

The closer you get to Tushan, the more monsters there are settling here.

There are still some human villages, although the number is gradually decreasing, but the population is not sparse. Here, the demons learn from the humans to build houses, cook, and do business.

They were having more and more fun, and as they got closer to Tushan, such phenomena became more frequent.

Murong Ji looked at the stalls on both sides of the road and curled his lips slightly. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere was an environment that stimulated productivity and creativity.

The more stable a place is, the busier the business is.

The monsters here, except for being a little ugly, do exactly the same things as humans.

The setting sun shines on the street, and the hawkers' shouts on both sides are still heard one after another. The sky is getting darker but the smell of fireworks is getting stronger.

Tu Shan Rongrong was skipping and jumping in front. She seemed to have no resistance to the snacks on both sides of the street.
