After Xu Mao left, Liu Hao turned to Xu Bing.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Xu Bing slowly opened his eyes.

Liu Hao asked, "How do you feel?"

Xu Bing nodded weakly, "Fortunately, I won't die for the time being."

Liu Hao nodded and asked, "Has the medicinal effect of the elixir been completely refined?"

Xu Bing closed his eyes, felt it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Probably not yet."

"Then continue refining."

Liu Hao said, "There is no rush for now, there is still time."

Hearing this, Xu Bing nodded, said no more, closed his eyes, and started refining again.

…

the other side.

Xu Mao rushed back to Yuncheng as quickly as possible.

As soon as he returned to Yuncheng, Xu Mao found Xu Zonghe immediately.

Seeing Xu Mao running back in a hurry to see him, Xu Zonghe frowned slightly and asked, "What happened? What makes you so anxious?"

Xu Mao said in a deep voice, "Master, City Lord Hao is back."

"City Lord Hao?"

When Xu Zonghe heard this, he frowned and asked coldly, "He is back as soon as he comes back. Why do you need to make such a fuss?"

As he said that, he said "Hey" again and said, "That's not right. I don't even know he's back. How did you know?"

Xu Mao told Xu Zonghe what happened before.

After hearing what Xu Mao said, Xu Zonghe's expression suddenly became very difficult.

He stared at Xu Mao and asked coldly, "How did he know that place? How did he get in there?"

"The formation there is not a simple maze, and a casual person would never be able to find it."

"Unless someone from the Yuanzu realm intervenes, I don't believe anyone can find it."

"Of course, there is another possibility..."

Having said this, Xu Zonghe stopped talking and stared at Xu Mao closely.

After Xu Mao listened to Xu Zonghe's words, he was slightly stunned.

Then, he asked in surprise, "Master, do you suspect that City Lord Hao and I colluded?"

Xu Zonghe said solemnly, "I believe you, but this thing happened so weirdly that I can't help but doubt it."

"Of course, the other two are also suspected, but those two are already dead, so..."

As he said that, his eyes became cold again, he stared at Xu Mao and said, "I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation!"

Hearing this, Xu Mao smiled bitterly.

He never thought that Xu Zonghe would actually doubt him.

I risked my life to speak good words to him, so that I could save his chance of survival. But in the end, I faced such doubts.

His heart suddenly became cold.

"Master, this life is given to me by you and the master."

Xu Mao said, "I..."

Xu Zonghe waved his hand and directly interrupted Xu Mao, saying, "I want to explain, don't listen to your nonsense, and don't play any emotional cards on me."

As he said that, Xu Zonghe narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Xu Mao, please explain these two questions to me first. If you can't explain clearly, then you don't need to say anything else.

!”

Xu Mao's brows wrinkled slightly.

He sneered and said, "Master, I have been with you for so many years, and you still don't trust me so much?"

"Didn't you understand what I said?"

Xu Zonghe ignored Xu Mao and said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense to me, I want to listen to your explanation!"

Xu Mao nodded and said, "In other words, if I don't explain it to you, there's no need to say anything else, right?"

Xu Zonghe turned to Xu Mao, the coldness in his eyes turned into a chill, and there was even a hint of murderous intent.

Xu Mao didn't care either.

He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and sneered.

"Xu Mao, don't think that I won't touch you after you have been with me for so many years!"

Xu Zonghe said gloomily, "You have to understand that your life was given to you by my father and I. Since we can give you this life, we can take it from you."

"I told you that my life was given to you by your father and son. You can take it away at any time if you want it."

Xu Mao immediately said, "Since you want it now, then I won't bother you to do it!"

Saying that, Xu Mao raised his hand and patted his chest!

boom!

Poof!

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Xu Mao's face instantly turned pale.

"I have been following the master before. After following him for so many years, I have only learned two things: loyalty and not being afraid of death!"

Xu Mao's mouth was bleeding as he said, "Master is very good to me, so if you ask for my life, I will pay it back at any time."

"Master asked me to follow you and do things for you, and I will do my best."

"It's just that what I didn't expect was that after so many years of hard work, Master, I would be rewarded with doubt. No, no, it might be a bit ridiculous to say doubt."

"It should be said that in your eyes, young master, I am the one who betrayed you."

"In this case, I won't explain too much!"

"I will give this life back to you!"

"In addition, in memory of the life-saving grace I gave you, I will give you one last piece of advice, Master!"

"City Lord Hao is waiting for you over there now!"

"Waiting for you to go over and give him an explanation!"

"This is the opportunity I asked for for you!"

"If you still miss this opportunity, then..."

Poof!

Having said this, Xu Mao spat out a mouthful of blood again.

His face became increasingly sad.

His body was also very weak and fell to the ground.

"Master, your biggest weakness is that you are indecisive, too suspicious, and too short-sighted!"

After falling to the ground, Xu Mao said weakly, "Listen to my advice, if you still want to establish yourself in the Kunlun Sword Territory like the master, then keep your side with City Lord Hao and City Lord Sword, don't..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Mao died.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Zonghe did not take any action, but just watched from the sidelines.

If he was willing to help, Xu Mao could at least be rescued.

However, Xu Zonghyuk did not do this.

When Xu Mao encountered this scene, he naturally gave up all hope of 'survival' and did not struggle at all.

Therefore, he died before he finished speaking.

After Xu Mao died, Xu Zonghe turned to Xu Mao.

Then, his brows wrinkled slightly.

Yes, he is a suspicious, jealous, and indecisive person by nature.

Therefore, when he heard Xu Mao report the matter, his first thought was not how to remedy it.

But, how did the 'Hao City Lord' know about this matter.

Who are the traitors around you, and who betrayed you?

If he was caught doing such a thing, of course he would be angry.

Therefore, he must first find out who betrayed him.

After thinking about it, the only person who would betray him, or in other words, the only person who has a chance to betray him in this matter, seems to be Xu Mao.

Because, He Min and Tang Hua were both dead.

Only Xu Mao is alive.

This itself already explains the problem to a certain extent.

And if it was Xu Mao who really betrayed him, can he believe what Xu Mao said?

Obviously, it cannot be believed.

However, at this time, he had some doubts in his heart.

If Xu Mao really betrayed him, then what benefits did City Lord Hao give Xu Mao?
