Chapter 66: Urging on the Horse

  Seeing the sea and sky like this, Wei He hastily said: "Master Uncle, don't be so excited for now. As for what exactly happened, we can go ask together later. By the way, why did you rush back now?"

  "Oh, you've distracted me so much that I almost forgot the main thing." Haitian suddenly remembered the purpose of returning to Blackstone Castle, "You've been in Wushan Province for so many years, do you know about the Xiumida family?"

  "The Xiumida family? I have some understanding of them." Wei He stroked his beard and said slowly.

  Haitian nodded and urged: "Good, you dare to tell me quickly who is the leader of the Xiumida family? And what is the strength of the Xiumida family?"

  "Master, to be honest with you, I know the head of the Xiumida family, but he hasn't been in charge for many years. I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Let's go to Liuling City together tomorrow and ask about it. Believe me, if I step forward, the people from the Xiumida family will give me some face and release Xiaoyu."

  "Is that true? That's great." Hai Tian immediately became excited, he had already made preparations for battle, but it was always better to avoid using force if possible.

  After all, his strength is not high, and the other party can take out so many great swordsmen and sword kings at once. It's easy to imagine how vast the opponent's strength is. At this time when he is still weak, it's better to prioritize harmony.

  With Wei He's persuasion, they will definitely release Xiao Yu.

  "Let's go, let's go, we're going to Liu Ling City right now to get someone." Hai Tian was impatient and didn't want to be separated from Xiao Yu again.

  After hearing Hai Tian's words, Wei He couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Master Uncle, you're being too rash. It's already dark outside. With me here, I'm sure the other side will let us go. Let's rest here for tonight first. Moreover, I think your condition isn't good, so let's recover first and set off again in the morning."

  "Alright, then let's rest here for now." As he said this, Hai Tian's tense nerves finally relaxed.

  The repeated battles left him extremely fatigued, and the continuous breakthroughs in battle had caused even greater harm to his body. If it weren't for relying on the experiences and memories of his past life to suppress the discomfort within his body, he would have probably exploded and died long ago.

  Now that there is time, it's essential to take good care of one's body.

  Haitian sat directly on the bed with his legs crossed, closed his eyes tightly and began to introspect the situation within his body. This battle had caused too much damage to his body, and the continuous consumption of Lingyun Dan had already caused varying degrees of damage to the meridians in his body.

  The originally dense whirlpool sea has also shown signs of loosening at this time.

  Furrowing his brow slightly, Haitian realized that his situation was indeed a bit dire. Next time, unless absolutely necessary, he would never use such tactics again.

  Operating the Xuanling power within his body, Haitian continuously repaired the damaged meridians while absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy from the outside world and converting it into his own Xuanling power. This merged with the Xuanling power obtained from swallowing the Lingyun Dan, making it completely his own Xuanling power.

  As time passed, the loose vortex sea also became more substantial and refined under the infusion of a large amount of sword energy. The white vortex continued to rotate within the dantian.

  It wasn't until much later that Haitian finally condensed the Swirling Sea into one, and the wounds from the previous battle also fully recovered at this moment. The realm of the Eight-Star Swordsman had also thoroughly stabilized.

  At the same time, in the Shimida family, the black-clothed man who had been in Chaoyang Town earlier brought Xiaoyu back to Liu Ling City.

  The man in black descended directly from above the Shumida family, and several patrolling guards who saw him all bowed and retreated far away.

  The man in black ignored the guards and led Xiaoyu into a dark room.

  As soon as he entered the dark room, a voice responded first: "Back? Is the person dead?"

  "Sorry, big brother, I failed." The man in black smiled bitterly. "Haitian is too cunning, my sword sense couldn't even detect his presence. But I caught his younger brother instead."

  "Huh?" The voice from the dark room was tinged with puzzlement, and the person sitting in the swivel chair slowly turned around, catching sight of the small rain in front of the man in black.

  "Are you Haotian's younger brother?" The middle-aged man in the swivel chair asked slowly.

  Xiao Yu glared fiercely at the man, unable to speak.

  The man in black hastily manipulated the sword's spiritual energy, and instantly a layer of cyan light appeared on Xiaoyu's body. The man in black dryly laughed twice and said: "This kid has been causing trouble for me all along, so I sealed his movements and speech."

  With the weak sunlight, the small rain clearly revealed the appearance of the person on the swivel chair. He had broad shoulders and a high nose bridge, with a typical Chinese face and a middle-aged look.

  "Damn it! You bastards, Tian Ge will definitely come and save me!" Xiaoyu cursed at the two with a scowl.

  After hearing Xiao Yu's insults, the black-clothed man behind him was very displeased and coldly shouted: "You little brat, you'd better behave yourself, or else you'll be in for a world of trouble."

  "Hey, he's our guest, don't be rude." The middle-aged man in the swivel chair smiled warmly and stood up. "Young brother, we didn't invite you here to coerce you, but just to get your brother Haitian to come over. Don't worry, as soon as Haitian arrives, we'll let you go immediately."

  "Hmph! Once Tian Ge arrives, he'll definitely wipe all of you out!" Xiaoyu remained unyielding.

  This attitude has already enraged the man in black: "You little brat, be careful what you say or I'll kill you right now."

  The middle-aged man on the swivel chair, however, remained nonchalant, waving his hand and smiling: "Don't worry, as long as he has the ability, I'm more than welcome. For the next few days, please bear with me."

  "After saying this, the middle-aged man ordered: 'Take him down for me, treat him well and don't let him suffer any grievances.'"

  "Yes!" The man in black responded coldly and quickly walked out with the rain.

  As soon as the figure of Xiaoyu disappeared, the middle-aged man returned to his swivel chair and chuckled twice: "Haitian, come quickly, I really want to see what kind of person you are?"

  In the Hei Shi Cheng Wei's house, Hai Tian opened his eyes and a faint light shone in. Hai Tian raised his head to look out of the window, the sky had gradually brightened: "Is it dawn?"

  "Master Shu, you've finally woken up?" Wei He asked as soon as Hai Tian came to.

  "Well, I'm awake. What's wrong with you? You look anxious." Haitian was somewhat puzzled, as Weihuo's state of mind shouldn't have led to this situation.

  Wei He smiled wryly and said: "Master Uncle, you've been cultivating for almost three days now."

  "What? It's been three days already?" Haitian was startled.

  Wei He nodded and said helplessly, "Yes, I saw you were cultivating and didn't want to disturb you, so I had to wait for you to wake up on your own. I was thinking that if you still don't wake up, I'll just call out to you directly."

  "Hurry up and follow me to the Mida family." For the past two days, no one knew what kind of torture Xiaoyu would suffer. In order to ensure Xiaoyu's safety, he had to rush over as soon as possible.

  Seeing the sea sky so anxious, Wei He also understood, nodded and turned to face Wei Hai Dao: "Little Hai, Grandpa will accompany Shifu to Liu Ling City this time, and come back in a few days. You can rest assured to take care of the house first."

  "No way, I want to go too, Grandpa." Wei Hai saw that Wei He wasn't taking him and immediately became anxious.

  "Wei He's face turned stern: 'You naughty child, why are you so disobedient? Grandfather and Shifu are going on a mission, not out to play, and we're in a hurry. You're still young, if you come along, you'll only be a hindrance.'"

  "Yes, Little Hai, you listen obediently first, after we finish our business, I'll come back to take you to play in Liu Ling City." Hai Tian also walked over and persuaded with a smile.

  "Alright, you guys must keep your promise!"

  "That's natural." Haotian smiled slightly and immediately went out the door.

  Wei He naturally followed closely behind, but soon Hai Tian encountered difficulties. If he were alone, he would have directly used his escape technique, but with Wei He present, that was not possible.

  It's even more impossible for Wu Kong to fly, and he can only sustain flight for ten minutes on his own, let alone with someone else.

  "Wei He, you haven't recovered your strength yet, how are we going to get past?" Hai Tian asked with a tilted head.

  "Master Shu, I've already thought of that. The day before yesterday, I rented a horse carriage. We'll take the horse carriage." Wei He smiled, he had already taken this into consideration.

  "Wow, you're really careful! Come on, I'll hurry up the horses and you sit inside."

  "What? Master, how can this be? I'll drive the horse instead." Wei He was startled to see Hai Tian wanting to drive the horse himself. Hai Tian's seniority was higher than his, how could he let Hai Tian drive the horse?

  "Alright, you're old and have completely lost your strength, just like an ordinary elderly person. I'll do it instead. Get in." Seeing that he couldn't win against Haitian, Weihuo could only obediently get into the carriage.

  Haitian smiled slightly and jumped onto the carriage, cracking the long whip in his hand on the horse's buttocks, shouting loudly: "Drive!"

  In an instant, the brown horse with a painful expression immediately ran forward, raising a cloud of dust.

  Liu Ling City is located southwest of Hei Shi City, about a dozen kilometers away. At the speed at which Hai Tian and the others are currently traveling, they will be able to reach Liu Ling City in less than two hours.

  By the time they arrived at Liu Ling City, it was already broad daylight.

  The city gate has just opened and there are not many pedestrians on the street yet.

  Haitian drove the carriage directly into the Liu Ling City, but he didn't know the location of the Xiumida family. He stopped the horse-drawn vehicle beside a swordsman and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, sir, do you know where the Xiumida family is?"

  The swordsman who was asked to stay paused, seeing that Haitian was just a young man after all, and didn't seem too concerned: "You're an outsider, right? Nobody in Liuling City doesn't know the Xiumida family. See that red high wall over there? That's where the Xiumida family is."

  "Oh, thank you." Hai Tian responded with a single word, and once again whipped the horse's reins, heading directly towards the direction of the red high wall not far away.

  He soon arrived at the gate and jumped off his horse carriage. Before Wei He could come out, he walked forward directly.

  However, as soon as he approached the gate, he was stopped by two guards: "Halt, you little horse driver, what are you doing here? Get out of here quickly, or else you'll provoke me, your grandfather, and I'll take your life."

  "Whose horse? Mine?" Hai Tian pointed at himself in surprise.
