529 Temporary stop, late night sneak attack
The next morning, everyone packed up and left the valley.
The moon goddess Count’s body was also taken with him. He would be buried in his hometown, accompanying the elven world Tree for eternity.
They didn’t run into any enemies along the way, so the cultivators didn’t dare to let their guard down.
The traitor who had been in the team earlier had almost wiped them out, so they had to be on guard against the other party’s dirty tricks.
After passing through the rugged road, everyone arrived at the riverbank. Tang Zhen took out the mobile boat and directly went against the flow, running towards the camp upstream.
The journey was safe and sound. After they arrived at the camp on the riverbank, they rested for a night. Then, they set out again at dawn and headed directly to Norma tower.
In the evening, the group arrived at the trading market outside of Norma. They decided to rest there for the night before continuing on their journey.
After learning that Yue qianhua and the others had returned, the city Lord of Norma quickly rushed over to express his goodwill and invited Yue qianhua and the others to rest in the tower.
After rejecting the other party’s invitation, Yue qianhua went into the tent alone and did not even come out to eat.
Ever since the moon goddess count had passed away, Yue qianhua had been depressed. This incident had dealt a huge blow to her, and she had not yet recovered from the grief.
There were bonfires everywhere in the trading market at night, and Wanderers could often be seen walking by while chatting and laughing. Some of them were even drunk.
Compared to the Wanderers in the Barbarian land, the Wanderers in the rich land had a much better life because they were not far from nightmare forest. The Wanderers near Norma city basically didn’t have to worry about food and drink.
However, compared to the Wildlands, it was even more difficult to obtain the qualifications to be a resident in these places. Even if one served these buildings for a lifetime, they might not even be able to obtain the qualifications of a reserve resident.
Moreover, building a city here was not as simple as it was in the Wildlands, because all the territories had an owner!
Without the permission of the landowner, when the city was built, not only would it be attacked by monsters, but it would also be attacked by the landowner!
Apart from that, rich land had many other things that were different from barbarian land. For example, there was a strict hierarchy here, and the number of battles between cultivators far exceeded the number of battles with monsters!
This was also the reason why there were still people who made a living there despite the barrenness of the Wildlands.
Compared to this area, the Wildlands was undoubtedly much freer!
The area where Tang Zhen and the others were resting had already been isolated by people sent by Norma. They didn’t want the elven cultivators to encounter danger here, or they would definitely be implicated.
In this open space, the Holy Dragon City cultivators had set up many tents. Other than the cultivators in charge of guarding, most of them had already started to rest.
This period of continuous running had exhausted everyone. Now that they had changed to a slightly safer environment, they naturally had to replenish their physical strength as soon as possible.
Tang Zhen sat by the fire and continued to read. Fatty, on the other hand, didn’t have the awareness of a three-star horde leader. He ran to the Wanderers not far away and drank and bragged with them without restraint.
On the road not far away, a few seemingly drunk Wanderers walked over. Perhaps because they were drunk, the Wanderers did not notice that the place had been quarantined and walked straight over.
The cultivators in charge of guarding Norma blocked their path and shouted at them to leave immediately.
After the Wanderers were stopped, two of them started quarreling with the cultivators of Norma who were in charge of guarding the place. The remaining three continued to walk toward Tang Zhen.
At this moment, everyone could tell that something was wrong. The Holy Dragon City cultivators in charge of security raised their guns and aimed at the Wanderers whose faces could not be seen clearly.
“Stay where you are, or I’ll shoot!”
As he shouted, the cultivator had already pulled the trigger. His previous words were just to numb the enemy.
There was nothing wrong with being careful. Even if the other party was not an enemy, they were not wronged for not listening to the warning and trespassing into the restricted area.
“Bang!”
A muffled gunshot rang out, and the Wanderer at the front was caught off guard. His head was immediately blown off.
The two Wanderers at the side turned pale with fright. Their swaying bodies trembled violently, and they charged toward the Holy Dragon City cultivator at lightning speed.
A shiny dagger appeared in each of their empty hands. They were obviously expensive demonic weapons!
The two of them were extremely fast. In an instant, they had crossed a distance of more than ten meters and were about to reach the Holy Dragon City cultivators.
However, the Holy Dragon City cultivators, who were already on guard, were even faster. Just as the two of them were exposed, more than ten muzzles had already locked onto them, and the muffled sound of shooting rang out continuously.
Not far away, the two people who were fighting with the cultivators of Norma also revealed their ferocity at this moment. After killing the cultivator with one move, they immediately attacked the camp.
In addition to the four enemies who were attacking from the front, there were also black shadows flashing from other directions of the camp. There were at least 40 to 50 people coming over.
The originally quiet trading market was suddenly in chaos. Gunshots and fighting could be heard.
Shooting in such a chaotic environment could easily hurt their companions. Therefore, other than a dozen Holy Dragon City cultivators who continued to shoot, the rest of the cultivators all drew their sabers and fought with the enemies.
In front of Yue qianhua’s tent, more than a dozen elf cultivators were gathered together, nervously looking around.
A black shadow rushed over and directly passed by the cultivators who were fighting. With a flash of cold light, the black shadow swung a knife and slashed at the tent.
A few elf cultivators tried to block the attack, but they were sent flying by the attacker’s saber. They fell not far from the tent, blood spurting out of their mouths and noses.
“Damn it, it’s a two star horde leader!”
After sensing the enemy’s aura, the rest of the elf cultivators gasped. Although they were afraid, they still charged forward without fear.
The attacker sneered and the blade flickered as he slashed at the cultivators at the front.
Once the blade touched the body, the body would be divided into two!
The blade was so fast that the elf cultivators couldn’t Dodge it in time. They could only watch the blade approach them.
However, just as the saber was about to cut into his body, it strangely stopped and could not advance any further!
The elven cultivators who had just escaped from death looked surprised. When they looked at the attacker again, they found that the latter’s facial muscles were twisted, and his face was full of surprise and horror.
“Before I receive my Commission, anyone who wants to touch her has to go through me first!”
Tang Zhen’s voice came from a distance. Under the surprised gaze of the elf cultivator, he slowly walked to the front of the attacker and took his sword.
“Since you want to kill her, you should be prepared to be killed!”
Tang Zhen shook his head as he looked at the other party’s face that was distorted from fear and his body that was trembling. The battle blade in his hand was suddenly swung out.
“Pfft!”
With a Flash of the Blade, the attacker’s head flew off and his body twitched as he fell to the ground.
At the same time the attacker was killed, a black shadow flashed not far away and quickly ran out of the trading market.
Tang Zhen did not even turn his head. The battle blade in his hand turned into a ray of light as it rapidly shot toward the black figure.
ah! a scream was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the Ambusher who had tried to escape earlier had been nailed to the stone wall of the trading market by a saber.
The wall was about five meters high, and the location where the attacker was nailed was about two meters above the ground. His entire body was suspended in the air.
After being pierced through the chest by the saber, the attacker struggled for a few moments before his head tilted to the side and he stopped moving.
The nearby elf cultivators all gasped.
The Ambusher that was killed by Tang Zhen earlier and the enemy that was nailed to the wall were all genuine two star feudal lords. In the end, they were like chickens and dogs in front of Tang Zhen and were easily killed by him!
How high was the cultivation of this Holy Dragon City Master, who was usually very kind?
