Meng Xiuwu was one of the elder of the Family Meng, just like Meng Xiuping and Meng Xiuwen. His strongest strength among this group of people granted him the highest position, so before Meng Yao's arrival at them, it was he who gave orders in the Huangquan Road. Fairly loyal to the Family Meng, he regarded Meng Yao as his own granddaughter, and that was why he became so angry when the disciples questioned her.

Meng Yao intended to calm him down and persuaded, "Don't be angry Grandpa Wu! Let's hurry to keep on moving!"

Meng Xiuwu nodded with agreements. Suddenly, he remembered the friend that Meng Yao mentioned, and asked, "Miss, you said that it was a friend of yours that has saved you and conveyed you to us, but where is he? I want to express my appreciation to him in person!"

She pouted and shook her head, "I have invited him to go with us, but he refused."

"What a pity! Since he is able to save you from Meng Xiuwen, he must possess a pretty high cultivation, right?"

She shook her head once again, replying, "No, his cultivation is just at the fifth level of Martial Arts State."

"Fifth level of Martial Arts State? How could this be possible?!" Everyone got dumbfounded, and looked at Meng Yao in confusion.

Meng Xiuwu questioned with a frown, "How can such a low-cultivated warrior rescue you from Meng Xiuwen?! I know Meng Xiuwen very much; he has reached the Marital Saint State already, and it is easy for him to kill your friend. So, what did your friend do? How did he take you to escape from Meng Xiuwen?"

"We didn't escape." She replied calmly, "He didn't take me away, but killed Meng Xiuwen."

"Kill? Meng Xiuwen is dead?" Meng Xiuwu asked with surprise.

"Yes." she nodded, "After killing Grandpa Ping, Meng Xiuwen had also been seriously injured with few efforts, so he was killed by my friend in the end."

Such a story finally convinced the others, and someone blurted out, "That's it!. If this is the case, I can do it too. He is not as powerful as I thought..." He suddenly stopped speaking and lowered his head in case to be recognized, because he knew he had made Meng Yao unpleasant.

However, Meng Yao just said coolly: "That friend of mine is indeed strong. We have encountered a lot of danger on the way, and it was him who helped me to overcome them, thus I can catch up with you so fast."

"Buy why you are so slow? You should have gone farther!" puzzled she.

Meng Xiuwu answered embarrassingly, "We met dozens of attacks in the nights of the Huangquan Road, and lost many fellows. Now only these strongest twenty are left."

"Yes, Miss. You have no idea what big dangers we have faced! The Chi Ghost and the Mei Ghost are indeed as powerful as the legend. We almost all died in their hands!" Some younger warriors began to complain to Meng Yao under the miserable memories.

She comforted them with nods, "I thank you all! And after we complete this task, I will definitely report it to my father and let him reward you well!"

"Thank you, Miss!" Her words encouraged the warriors very much, and they immediately said excitedly, "Then don't waste time here! Let's hurry up!"

Meng Xiuwu casted a scowl at the speaking disciple, and scolded, "How do you have the nerve to give orders in front Miss Meng Yao? Don't you see she is hurt? We have to wait until she gets fully recovered!"

Shaking her head, Meng Yao replied, "It's not a big deal, and I can cure myself while moving forward. So, let's go now!"

"Since then, lets hurry up!" Meng Xiuwu commanded the disciple holding the Guiding Soul Chook to walk in the most front.

Just noticing there was only one chook with them, Meng Yai bewildered, "I remembered you have brought six chooks with you, but why only one now?"

"Two of them fled away by the Mei Ghost we met, and three were eaten, only this one left. If it is lost in the following days, we will never get to the Baodu Mountain!" Meng Xiuwu answered helplessly in worries.
