"What! I heard you right, third brother, don't joke with my second brother, you said that Xiao Ya has your child? That's your child!"

As soon as Di Yun heard what Li Mu said, he suddenly jumped three feet high in shock, and he said in disbelief, not only him, but Leng Qicheng and the others also opened their mouths in horror, obviously frightened by the news that Li Mu said.

"Li Mu, you... This can't be, you and Xiao Ya haven't seen each other for more than a hundred years, she... How could she have your child, although what Diyun Daoyou said may be a little unpleasant, but this is completely unreasonable!"

After being shocked, Hua Yun also said in disbelief, she has basically been with Li Mu for more than a hundred years, from the Nameless Realm to the Flying Immortal Valley, and then to the Xiao family, she has basically never left Li Mu for half a step, she really can't figure out how Xiao Ya could have Li Mu's child.

"What the hell is going on?"

Leng Chengcheng took a deep breath and asked with a cold tone staring at Li Mu.

"Here's the thing, as early as a hundred years ago, Xiao Ya had my child, but at that time she saw that her whereabouts were unknown, so she used a secret method to seal the child in her womb, and later returned to the Xiao family, she was afraid that the people of the Xiao family would be unfavorable to the child, so she didn't unseal it until today, in front of me and Xiao Su. โ€

"Hua Yun, talk about this... You should know that, too. โ€

Li Mu looked at Hua Yun with some embarrassment and said.

"I... How could I possibly know, I... I don't know that she has a child, and she has been sealed for a hundred years, this Xiao Ya's sister is really enough, and she can think of such a way. โ€

Hua Yun was said by Li Mu, and her jade face immediately turned red, but she was smart and clever and quickly changed the topic.

With Li Mu's explanation, Di Yun and the others were all silent, and subconsciously looked at Leng Tingcheng, they all knew that Leng Tingcheng was Li Mu's main palace Taoist couple, but who knew that Li Mu now not only had other women, but even had children.

"What are you all looking at me doing, this is a good thing, do you think I'm going to be angry? Then you also underestimate me too much, we are cultivators, how can we be like those ordinary people in the world, and still be angry about this. โ€

"Since I came to this Xiao family, I accept her Xiao Ya, since I can accept her Xiao Ya, then the child in her belly, I can naturally accept it, as long as it is Li Mu's, it just saves the trouble of having children in the future!"

Leng Qingcheng felt the gaze from all directions, and she said very casually, but she didn't show any angry expression.

"Ah, that's all right, brother and sister, I admire the second brother!"

Di Yun didn't expect that such an indifferent person as Leng Tingcheng would be so aware of righteousness, and he immediately gave Leng Chengcheng a thumbs up and expressed his admiration.

"Allure, thank you! I know you are wronged, but don't worry, my Li Mu's heart for you will never change!"

Li Mu knew that Leng Chengcheng didn't want to burden his heart, so he said this, and he said to Leng Chengcheng with gratitude.

"In front of so many people, you are not ashamed, let's get down to business, what are you going to do, now you can't afford to lose, if you lost before, you will lose Xiao Ya at most, and now if you lose, even your own children will lose!"

Leng Chengcheng glanced at Li Mu, and then returned to the main preaching.

"Regarding the competition and recruitment conference, I have to participate in it now, I have already asked Xiao Ya's father about the rules, and when the time comes, a lottery will be held in the form of voluntary registration, until the final champion is selected. โ€

"After becoming the champion, I nominally have to fight with Xiao Ya again, of course, this is negligible, Xiao Ya has not broken through to the realm of the true king for a long time, if I win in the end, naturally there is no need to compare. โ€

"The conference will be a one-on-one competition, and then there will be layers of selection, and there is a very important factor in the middle, that is, the time to heal and recover the true yuan, this time is only the time of a stick of incense, so I want to ask the eldest brother and the second brother to help me. โ€

Speaking of the main matter of the competition and recruitment conference, Li Mu also became solemn, and after explaining the rules, he looked at Ren Xiaoyao and Di Yundao.

"Third brother, do you mean that you want me to sign up with my eldest brother, so that if we can help you block two rounds of opponents, this will give you a greater certainty. โ€

Di Yun's mind turned quickly, and he immediately guessed Li Mu's intentions.

"Yes, that's true, because there is a huge difference in the strength of the two opponents in each round, some people can easily solve the battle, and some people may encounter strong opponents, it will take a long time, and it will cost a lot of true yuan, so it will be very passive. โ€

"For example, if I draw Qu Jian Evil in the first round of the lottery, then with the strength level of the two of us, it may take a long time to fight to decide the winner, although I am sure to defeat him, but it is inevitable that the loss of the true yuan will be too huge at that time. โ€

"And in this case, the healing time of a stick of incense is definitely not enough, if the opponent I meet next is Shi Zhijian, then it will definitely be defeated, but if the eldest brother and the second brother participate in the war, then the variables will be big. โ€

"First of all, with the two of you entering the battle, my chances of encountering two strong opponents in a row will become much smaller, and secondly, if I can meet the eldest brother or second brother halfway, then we can pretend to solve the battle quickly, so that I have more time to recover my true essence or heal my wounds. โ€

Li Mu said the countermeasures that he had already planned in his heart.

"This is indeed a good way, I think it's okay, if I draw the opponent of Qu Jianxie at that time, big brother, I will take the opportunity to help you kill him, even if it is a lose-lose battle, I will not hesitate to do it!"

After listening to Li Mu's countermeasures, Ren Xiaoyao nodded in agreement.

"Thank you big brother, what about you, second brother?"

Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao happily agreed, Li Mu nodded very gratefully, and then looked at Di Yundao, who had not spoken.

"Alas, I didn't want to agree to you, but for the sake of my unborn little nephew, of course, it may also be a little niece, second brother, I reluctantly agreed to you. โ€

Di Yun pretended to sigh in a deep voice, which immediately caused everyone's eyes to roll their eyes.

Time passed quickly, and soon two days passed in a flash, on this day, Li Mu heard through Xiao Gui sent by Xiao Su, and heard that the Xiao family had begun to open the mountain gate to receive foreign guests, which meant that a big war had gradually begun, and the entire Xiao family was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere of stormy mountains and buildings.

Although it is said that a hidden family like the Xiao family will not open the door to receive guests under normal circumstances, but because the next day is the day of the competition and recruitment conference, many people come to watch the ceremony or participate in the war, so the Xiao family is still ready early for the sake of fame and face.

However, although the Xiao family opened the door to receive guests, not all kinds of people were qualified to enter the Xiao family's mountain gate, and those who could be treated as guests by the Xiao family were basically some disciples of the big sects with heads and faces, or elders.

Like some loose cultivators who have no power background and no strength, even on the big day when the Xiao family is fighting and recruiting relatives, the Xiao family is not to be seen.

"There are so many people here, Xiao Gui, isn't it that your Xiao family is very low-key in holding a competition to recruit relatives this time, why don't I see it, where are you low-key. โ€

Standing on a stone rockery in front of the attic where he lived with Li Mu and the others, Di Yun looked at the guests who were constantly being brought up the mountain by the disciples of the Xiao family, and asked Xiao Guidao in front of him.

This Xiao Gui was the main owner pretended by Li Mu to return to the hermit technique that day, and he was specially sent by Xiao Su to receive and take care of Li Mu and others.

"Senior Diyun, my Xiao family is indeed low-key enough this time, but this is low-key and low-key, but if these people want to come to participate or watch the competition and recruit relatives at this ceremony, then my Xiao family can't help it. โ€

"Don't you know, now that a large number of partial peaks in my Xiao family have been filled by these outsiders, this is still the result of rejecting a large number of scattered cultivators who want to come to my Xiao family to watch the ceremony and recruit relatives. โ€

"The head of my Xiao family has already given an order, it is not a super-first-class level sect that is not allowed to bring disciples to live on the mountain, as for casual cultivation, it is not a true king-level person, and my Xiao family will not accept it. โ€

"Of course, the head of my family also said that in order to prevent these people from running in vain, they will be allowed to go up the mountain for a short time to watch the ceremony before the start of the competition and recruitment meeting tomorrow, so that they will not run in vain. โ€

Xiao Gui has basically been familiar with Di Yun and the others in the past two days, and through some contact, he found that Di Yun and the others are not as difficult to serve as those great sect true king elders, but have some fun, so he is not restrained, and explains to Di Yun and the others very casually.

"The attraction of your Xiao family's competition to recruit relatives is really not small, by the way, most of the strength of these sects that sent people here should be from the middle of your continent, are there any sects from other regions to come?"

At this moment, Li Mu once again used the retreat technique to transform into the appearance before going up the mountain that day, and assumed the pseudonym Xu Qing, he asked Xiao Guidao with some curiosity.

"Yes, most of them are the strength of the sects in the middle of my continent, among which the Wanjian Sect is the leader, it is said that even the Chen family, the hidden family, has sent people here, but there are also sects in several other regions of the continent who have come from thousands of miles away. โ€

"As far as I know, the Zhongtian Purple Thunder Sect in the south of the continent and the Seven Demon Sect in the east of the continent are here, as for the western part of the continent, I haven't heard of it, after all, there are more Buddhist sects in the western part of the continent, and they can't participate in this kind of competition and alliance, after all, monks can't marry a wife. โ€

Xiao Gui said truthfully.

"The Seven Demon Sect and Zhong Tian Purple Thunder Sect, it seems that the two guys Ghost Face and Lei Wuji, this time they will definitely be indispensable, Ling Tianxiao that guy is a bull-nosed Taoist priest, he shouldn't come to join in the fun, by the way, is it possible that there will be no one in the north of the continent?"

After listening to Xiao Gui's explanation, Di Yun muttered to himself, and then asked, Li Mu also showed a curious look when he heard this.

"Yes, I heard that the Golden Jade Sect and the Water Spirit Sect have sent people to come, it seems that the status of the people who came is not low in the sect!"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Gui said with great certainty, as soon as he heard that there would be people from the Golden Jade Sect and the Water Spirit Sect, Li Mu's eyes immediately showed a fine light......
