Huang Yun had already come to Liu Ming and the others in a few breaths.

A tall old man standing above the clouds, with a majestic face, obviously a person accustomed to giving orders, glared at the two young men, and then saluted Liu Ming, and said with an apologetic face:

"Your Excellency, please forgive me for any offense caused by these juniors. ”

"It's okay, it's no wonder if you don't know, dare to ask Your Excellency is the head of the Xu family's Kaiyang family?" Liu Ming naturally didn't take these little things to heart, and said with a slight smile.

"The eyes of the envoy are like torches, and it is the patriarch of the Xu family below. The tall old man's face froze, and he was surprised in his heart, and he didn't understand for a moment how the person in front of him could see his identity.

Liu Ming smiled slightly, with the other party's condensation realm cultivation and a tone of wanton reprimand for the two Xu family disciples, how could he not judge the identity of the other party.

As for his identity as a disciple of the Taiqing Sect, most of them are because the other party has received the news in advance that someone has taken over the task sent by his clan, and he may even have a certain understanding of his appearance, otherwise how could he really come forward to greet him so lightly.

The two young men on the black eagle hurriedly stepped forward to salute in panic, and under the command of the tall old man, they immediately took the first step to report to the mountain peak behind.

After a while, the prohibition outside the mountain peak fluctuated, and a passage slowly opened.

"Your Excellency, please go to the castle first. Seeing this, Xu Kaiyang immediately ended the greetings in his mouth, moved with one hand, and made a gesture of respect.

Liu Ming was not polite, nodded and floated away into the passage.

As a result, it flew dozens of feet later. The yellow light flashed in front of him, revealing a rather magnificent tall castle-like building below.

At a glance. The highest part of the castle is more than 30 zhang, and it is surrounded by layers of shadowy buildings. At the outermost end is a tall wall, enclosing most of the mountain in the middle.

"The place of my clan is very simple, and please don't blame the envoy. Xu Kaiyang said to Liu Ming while leading Liu Ming to fly to the door of an inner hall in the ancient castle.

"The head of the Xu family is polite. Liu Ming responded calmly.

After a while, as soon as the two of them fell to the ground, there were already several old men in yellow clothes standing at the gate, and they greeted them.

"This is the envoy of the Taiqing Sect, Xu Yunzhen is the great elder of the clan. This time it was a disappointment, and I ask for forgiveness. The man who spoke was a thin old man with yellow hair, and behind him the people faintly looked at the heads of his horses.

"Fellow Daoists, you are polite, in Xia Liuming, on the order of the sect, I came here to complete the task entrusted by the Xu family. Liu Ming glanced around, smiled slightly and returned the salute with a fist, and at the same time took out the identity plate of the outer disciple and threw it over.

"It turns out that Envoy Liu is a disciple of the outer sect of Taiqing. The future is bound to be ambitious, and the achievement of the crystallization realm in the future is just around the corner. Come, let's introduce the envoy below, these are the elders of my Xu family. The thin old man grabbed the token. After a little inspection, his scorched eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately said with a smile on the things in his hand.

Then. Together with Xu Kaiyang, he began to introduce the people present one by one.

The elders of the Xu family were all monks in the condensation stage. The cultivation of the dry and thin old man is the highest, and it is the middle stage of condensate. Several other people, including the patriarch Xu Kaiyang, were all in the early stage.

Although these people were all in a peaceful state, Liu Ming's divine sense swept down a little and he had already found that these people present, except for the Xu family patriarch, the rest of them were all a little angry, and there was a faint trace of black gas on their faces, and they were obviously seriously injured.

After some politeness, Liu Ming walked into the hall of the ancient castle surrounded by several elders.

After several people were seated separately by the guest of honor, even a maidservant served tea.

"This 'Huanglu Tea' is a specialty of my Cangman Mountain, although it is not a high-grade spiritual tea, but it is still sweet and warm, with a long aftertaste, and the envoy also invites you to taste one or two. The patriarch of the Xu family sat opposite Liu Ming and said with a smile.

"Tea can be drunk slowly, but the mission of the sect said that two powerful ghost creatures have appeared near this place, I don't know what the specific situation is?" Liu Ming took a sip of the teacup, and then spoke.

When the people of the Xu family present heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other with embarrassment.

"I can't imagine that the envoy is also an impatient person, in fact, even if the Taoist friend doesn't ask, he still has to say it. Seeing this, the thin old man coughed lightly.

"Here's the thing. Our Xu family originally had a vein mine in the eastern part of Cangman Mountain, and for more than 100 years, we have been mining some ordinary ores, but nothing major has happened. However, two months ago, two disciples of the clan were ordered to go on a routine inspection, and suddenly disappeared in the mining area, and we sent people to search for them for several days but did not find them.

"But a few days later, two more junior disciples of the clan disappeared in the mining area, one of them was still a late-stage cultivator of the spirit disciples, this matter naturally touched us and others, after some exploration, it was discovered that in the depths of the mine at some point, the powerful ghost creature that appeared in the middle stage of the condensate at some point, and snatched away those disciples to absorb its essence. The Xu family naturally couldn't allow such a situation to exist, so they gathered the strength of many people to go to the crusade, and the old man was also present at the time. It's a pity that these two ghosts are too powerful, and after a fight, we were all seriously injured, and at the critical moment, we still reasonably urged the family to have a strange treasure, and it was not easy to escape. When the thin old man said this, the Xu family present all showed helpless expressions.

Liu Ming's expression did not change when he heard this, and he did not answer, as if he was waiting for the old man to continue.

"Those two ghosts are still entrenched in the mining area, so we have to temporarily lock down the vein mine. If such a big event happens, we can't do anything with our strength alone, and we can only ask the envoy of Taiqing Gate to help. The thin old man smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and finally slowly said the commission.

"In this way, you have only seen two ghosts, is it possible that there is a third?" Liu Ming suddenly asked after a slight hesitation.

"This shouldn't be, we fought those two ghosts that day, and we only barely escaped. If they still had accomplices, we wouldn't have been able to escape so easily. The thin old man thought for a while, and then replied.

Xu Kaiyang also nodded again and again.

Liu Ming also felt that what the other party said made some sense.

As far as he knew, usually ghosts like to suck the essence of living people to feed themselves, and one spirit disciple is worth dozens of mortals, and if those two ghosts have other companions, they should not let go of these condensation stage monks in vain.

"I don't know what the specific appearance of those two ghost things is?, I also know a little about ghost things, maybe I can deduce the origin of those ghost things?" Liu Ming touched his chin and asked thoughtfully.

If you want to talk about the understanding of ghost things, he really knows a lot, and the previous Barbarian Ghost Sect was a sect that specialized in studying these demons and ghosts.

In the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Map' left by the Six Yin Patriarchs in the classics of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, there are a full one hundred and eight kinds of ghost things.

"This ...... When these two ghosts fight, they drive large areas of ghost mist, and they are especially good at stealing their tracks and launching surprise attacks, and we haven't been able to see what they really are. When the thin old man heard this, he said with a red face.

Hearing this, Liu Ming was speechless for a while.

These elders of the Xu family are really useless, they can't beat others, they are killed and fled back without even seeing the appearance of the enemy, and it seems that the actual combat ability will definitely not be too high......

"Although that ghost thing is powerful, but with the help of the Lord, plus us old guys, we will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop this time. Daoyou can also rest assured, although our Xu family can't be compared with those big clans now, there are still some rare minerals left by our predecessors in the warehouse. If you don't dislike it, wait to get rid of these two evil ghosts, although you can pick a few things. Seeing Liu Ming's contemplative expression, the patriarch of the Xu family hurriedly said.

Liu Ming was slightly stunned when he heard this, and quickly understood.

I think these elders of the Xu family are afraid that he will hear that the opponent is too powerful, so they will retreat.

And Xu Kaiyang was really worried at this time.

Although the Xu family is also named under the Taiqing Gate, but the family has long since declined, and the resources are really tight, this time this kind of thing happened, although he asked the Taiqing Gate for help, but because he needed to heal the injured people in the clan first, he had already spent almost the cost of the spirit stones in the clan, and he could only take out 20,000 spirit stones as a task reward at that time, which was really shabby.

If Liu Ming in front of him is left alone, I'm afraid there will really be no other Taiqing Sect disciples coming over.

At this moment, seeing that Liu Ming seemed to be hesitant, although the patriarch of the Xu family was greatly distressed by the few refining materials in the clan, he could only grit his teeth and promise.

"Don't worry, since you have taken over the task, you will naturally complete it, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to the sect when you go back. Hearing this, Liu Ming's eyes flickered a few times, but he said with a chuckle.

"That's great, the envoy has worked hard from afar, let's take a rest today, the task is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to be busy with this matter tomorrow. In the evening, a banquet was held in the house, and Taoist friends were invited to enjoy one or two. The patriarch of the Xu family was relieved and said with a smile.

Several other elders, including the thin old man, also looked relieved.

Liu Ming was indeed a little tired all the way, so he didn't refuse, and immediately said goodbye to everyone, and then under the leadership of a domestic servant, he came to the guest room prepared by the Xu family to meditate and rest.

As for the banquet, it was naturally euphemistically shirked.

Early the next morning, Liu Ming, accompanied by another middle-aged Confucian elder of the Xu family, left Xujiabao and flew towards the vein mine of Cangman Mountain.

The Great Elder of the Xu Family originally wanted to gather all the manpower and go together, but Liu Ming politely declined.

The two ghosts in the middle of the condensate are not yet on his heart.
