A long-legged woman dressed in red with a trident on her back walked out. She sized up Mo Wuji before saying, "May I ask where you are headed, friend?"

Her clothes were stained with blood, and there were several blood scabs on her neck, indicating that she had been through many battles along the way.

Mo Wuji replied, "I want to go to the Wuxue Kingdom. Do you know the way?"

The woman pointed to the east. "If you go along this way, keep moving forward, you will reach the Qiantai Lord's Kingdom. Once you reach the Qiantai Lord's Kingdom, you can buy maps and find beast carts to take you anywhere you want."

"Then may I ask where this place is?" Mo Wuji asked again.

The woman pointed to the west. "Going that way is the territory of the Yuguang Lord's Kingdom. This place is between the Qiantai Lord's Kingdom and the Yuguang Lord's Kingdom, and it is called the Sick Wood Plains."

This woman seemed very clear about the surrounding directions. In addition, the other party was a mercenary organization. Mo Wuji's heart moved, and he asked again, "Do you know about the Wuxue Kingdom?"

"Been there," the woman replied simply.

"I heard that there is a bandit den in the Wuxue Kingdom called the Black-Tailed Bees. Do you know this bandit group?" Mo Wuji quickly asked. The Black-Tailed Bees killed Jing Lengbei's family and were said to be entrenched in the Wuxue Kingdom.

Jing Lengbei, Thirteen Sister, and Mo Xiangtong were together. If they wanted revenge, they would definitely go to the Wuxue Kingdom to find the Black-Tailed Bees.

"Don't know..." The woman snorted, turned, and left, her face no longer as peaceful as before. After the woman left, several people continued to watch Mo Wuji warily.

Mo Wuji immediately knew that this woman must have something to do with the Black-Tailed Bees; otherwise, she would not have such an attitude.

"This person knows the Black-Tailed Bees. Should we get rid of him?" Although Mo Wuji did not follow, he heard someone whispering in the distance. He had divine sense, and his strength was far stronger than the other party's, so even if the other party's voice was very low, it still did not escape Mo Wuji's ears.

"No need to cause unnecessary trouble. This person calling out the Black-Tailed Bees bandits probably isn't with them." Another person whispered.

"Hmph, the Black-Tailed Bees are bandits anyway."

From the discussion of several people, Mo Wuji heard that this group of people had a grudge against the Black-Tailed Bees.

Mo Wuji was about to step forward and explain that he also had a grudge against the Black-Tailed Bees when he heard a series of beast hoof sounds.

"Enemy attack!" A sharp cry came from afar, followed by two people riding horses quickly rushing back. In an instant, they arrived near. Looking at the appearance of the two, they should be the scouts of this group of people.

Mo Wuji was secretly surprised that the sound of beast hooves appeared extremely abruptly. Even he had only just heard it. No wonder the two scouts of this mercenary team did not discover it in advance.

"Quick, go!" Including those who were still making a fire to cook, they grabbed their weapons and stood up. Then, they quickly gathered their mounts and a carriage. Even the few people who were staring at Mo Wuji stopped staring and packed things with everyone else.

Mo Wuji was a little speechless. A row of people riding horse-beasts could already be seen charging over in the distance. By the time they had hurriedly packed up their things, people would be surrounded. Taking a step back, even if they were ready to start running away, could they run faster than these knights?

"No need to pack up, form a team in place..." The woman who first spoke to Mo Wuji had already realized that the discovery of the enemy situation was late this time, and they could not escape now.

Just as this side had just formed a team, the knights in the distance had already charged over, numbering as many as thirty or forty riders. And on the woman's side, including the two scouts who had just returned, there were only nine people. In Mo Wuji's opinion, these nine people were all injured.

The knight team rushed over but did not charge directly. Instead, they abruptly reined in their beast mounts and stopped a few meters in front of the nine people.

The scene was somewhat strange. Nine people faced off against more than thirty riders, but in the middle of the confrontation stood Mo Wuji.

"Hand over the things." A horse-beast in the middle of the knight team walked out. The strong knight on the horse-beast stared at the woman and said coldly.

Mo Wuji understood that the two sides should be fighting for something. This thing had now been snatched by the side with fewer people, and this team of beast riders had come to chase after it.

Mo Wuji did not know what exactly these people were fighting for. He did not plan to act immediately but turned around and left. He did not want to leave here but wanted to stand aside and see what was going on first.

"Kill him." What Mo Wuji did not expect was that as soon as he turned around, the knight who stepped out of the formation shouted sharply. Following this sharp roar, a long arrow shot over.

Mo Wuji tilted his head, and the long arrow brushed past his ear.

This arrow made Mo Wuji furious. If he had not tilted his head, this arrow would have shot directly into the back of his head and then pierced through his eyebrows.

"I am not with them. Friend, you attacked without asking questions. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Mo Wuji turned around, his words carrying a hint of killing intent. If it were another cultivator, he would definitely not ask this question and might have already taken action to kill people. Although Mo Wuji had become a cultivator, his methods were still not accustomed to killing people directly without asking questions.

"Haha, want me, Impermanence Duet, to give you an explanation? Who cares if you are together? When the people of Impermanence Duet come over, the rule is that no one can move. You violated the rules of my Impermanence Duet. Attack all of you, let him know that no one can touch the rules of my Impermanence Duet..." The knight standing at the front laughed and waved his hand again.

This time, it was not a single arrow that came over but thirty or forty arrows that shot toward Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji raised his hands, and these arrows became extremely slow in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty arrows were all caught by Mo Wuji. Before everyone present could recover, Mo Wuji raised his hands, and more than thirty arrows were thrown out by him again.

"Ah, ah, ah..." Dozens of screams rang out one after another, followed by a splash of blood. Thirty-five knights fell from their horse-beasts to the ground. Each knight had a long arrow piercing through his brow. The thirty-plus horse-beasts were somewhat restless for a time because of the fall of their masters. These horse-beasts had obviously received excellent training and quickly stabilized.

The only surviving knight was completely stunned. When he saw clearly that each fallen knight had a long arrow piercing through his brow, and the positions of the pierced holes were exactly the same, he was immediately in an ice cellar.

The nine people on the other side who were nervously confronting each other were also stunned. These thirty-six knights, who could easily reap their lives, had turned into thirty-five corpses and one who had not yet reacted in the blink of an eye.

Mo Wuji slowly walked to the knight who was still alive, interrupting the knight's shock and sluggishness. "What now? I have violated the rules of your Impermanence Duet again."

As he spoke, Mo Wuji raised his leg and swept out. The front leg of the horse-beast that the knight was sitting on immediately broke. The horse-beast let out a neigh and fell to the ground. The knight also fell down and lay on the ground.

At this moment, this knight, who looked very tall and burly, could not say a word. The previous arrogance and coldness had become a joke at this moment.

"The Three Charming Hunters, Hua Xuan, have met senior. I didn't recognize you before. Please forgive me." The woman who asked Mo Wuji for directions, and later turned away when she heard Mo Wuji asking about the Black-Tailed Bees, quickly walked over and bowed to Mo Wuji and said.

Mo Wuji asked, "Three Charming Hunters, are you an adventure team?"

Hua Xuan quickly explained, "We are not considered an adventure team. We can barely be considered mercenaries, and we also take on some escort business."

Mo Wuji nodded. "Then what is this Impermanence Duet?"

Hua Xuan said solemnly, "Impermanence Duet is the largest mercenary force in the Sick Wood Plains, or rather, bandits. The leaders are a brother and sister, called Impermanence and Duet, respectively. They have been living in the area between the Qiantai Lord's Kingdom and the Yuguang Lord's Kingdom, and their strength is very powerful. At most, they even have 10,000 regular cavalry. They do all kinds of evil in this area and kill people like flies. At first, all the merchants passing through the Sick Wood Plains would be killed by Impermanence Duet. Later, they changed their strategy. All the merchants passing through the Sick Wood Plains would have half of their goods taken away by them. Anyone who resisted would be killed immediately."

Mo Wuji asked suspiciously, "Since this is the case, why don't the two lord kingdoms destroy them?"

Hua Xuan sighed, "Because the Impermanence Duet's army is too powerful and moves quickly, it cannot be destroyed at all. Once any lord kingdom dares to propose to destroy them, they will immediately unite with the other lord kingdom to attack each other. Moreover, I suspect that Impermanence Duet is colluding with the lords of the two kingdoms."

"Senior, our leaders, Lord Impermanence and Lady Duet, are both immortal masters..."

The knight who was kicked off the horse-beast by Mo Wuji quickly said, as he wanted Mo Wuji to have some scruples in his heart and then spare his life. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was stepped on by Mo Wuji.

"What are they chasing you for?" Mo Wuji did not plan to ask about this matter originally. What good things could there be in the struggle between some mortals? But after hearing the other party say that Impermanence Duet were also immortal masters, he immediately wanted to know what Impermanence Duet were chasing after.

Hua Xuan bowed and said, "In response to senior, it is a sea chart, and the sea chart points to a sea immortal mansion. This sea chart is not on me now. I have given it to my eldest sister, Eleven Sister."

Impermanence Duet also knew about the sea chart, so she did not need to continue to hide it from this powerful senior.

"Eleven Sister?" Mo Wuji suddenly heard a familiar name and quickly asked.

Hua Xuan quickly said, "Eleven Sister is the eldest sister of our Three Charming Hunters."

"If there is an eldest sister, there must be a second sister, right?" Mo Wuji continued to ask.

"Yes, the second sister of our Three Charming Hunters is Jing Lengbei, and the third sister is Mo Xiangtong..."

"Where are they now?" Mo Wuji excitedly interrupted Hua Xuan's words. Seeing Hua Xuan looking at him with a surprised expression, Mo Wuji explained, "I am friends with Eleven Sister, and Mo Xiangtong is my aunt. I asked about the Black-Tailed Bees because Jing Lengbei wanted to seek revenge from the Black-Tailed Bees, so I wanted to go find the Black-Tailed Bees and ask about it first."
