In the dirty and dilapidated alley, a strong young man slowly walked out. His old cloak was still stained with fresh blood that had not yet dried.
His expression was ugly and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. He was like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Judging from the smell of blood on his body, this young man must’ve fought with someone and killed more than one foreign cultivator.
Just as Tang Zhen was sizing up the youth, the other party had also discovered him and the two foreign cultivators who had died miserably at the entrance of the alley.
Frowning slightly, the young man looked at Tang Zhen with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
When they were in the tavern earlier, he did not pay too much attention to Tang Zhen, who was at the same table as him. He had even subconsciously ignored the other party’s existence.
Originally, after leaving the tavern, the young man wouldn’t feel that anything was wrong as long as he didn’t deliberately think about it. He wouldn’t even remember what the Lord cultivator who sat at the same table looked like.
However, now that he saw Tang Zhen standing in front of him with the corpses of the two enemies that he should have killed lying beside him, the young man finally felt that something was wrong!
This method of making others subconsciously ignore their existence was clearly an excellent concealment ability. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was actually similar to the skills he had learned.
However, the other party was able to make him fall for it. Clearly, his ability was not ordinary, and might even far exceed his own!
A trace of vigilance immediately rose in the young man’s heart after he realized this. His eyes coldly looked at Tang Zhen as his hand subconsciously placed on the hilt of his sword.
As long as the situation was slightly off, he would unsheathe his sword and kill!
Tang Zhen laughed when he saw this. He swept a glance at the young man’s action of holding the sword and used a hoarse voice that he had deliberately disguised to say,”You must have been to the thieves” lair in the alley. Are you surprised?”
The young man frowned and snorted, ” “Thieves” lair? Did you hear what that guy was whispering?
That’s right, I’ve just been there. It’s a thieves ‘lair!
Damn b * stard, how dare you lie to me! I’ll burn that Tavern down later!”
Tang Zhen shook his head,”that Tavern waiter was indeed not a good person. However, the owner of the tavern did not participate in it. Didn’t you see the owner’s eyes dodging, as if he didn’t dare to provoke that waiter?”
I guess this is the trick of those foreign cultivators. They used the tavern to set up a trap to deceive an outsider like you!
If these guys hadn’t misjudged him and dared to scheme against a cultivator who specialized in killing, they would have probably succeeded by now.
As for whether you live or die, that’s up to fate!”
The young man was silent for more than ten seconds before he said, ” “Then, Who are you?”
“I, like you, want to find someone to take me through the dangerous mountain range!”
Tang Zhen looked at the young man and said indifferently.
The young man’s mouth twitched unnoticeably. “So, did you find it?”
“Before I could start looking, I ran into you, so I followed you and took a look!
The result, hehe, is just as I expected!”
Tang Zhen looked at the young man with a trace of ridicule in his eyes.
The young man’s expression darkened as he softly snorted. He ignored Tang Zhen and directly walked toward the center of the market not far away.
When Tang Zhen saw this, he also took a step forward and followed. He was still less than ten meters away from the young man.
After the young man discovered this situation, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously squirmed around in the crowd in an attempt to shake off Tang Zhen.
However, he quickly gave up on this thought. This was because he was unable to shake off Tang Zhen no matter how he circled around. Every time he turned his head, he would be able to see Tang Zhen’s face that seemed to have a smile that was not a smile.
Ignoring Tang Zhen, the young man began to ask around and quickly obtained the information he wanted.
At the edge of the bustling market, there was a shed propped up by logs. A group of exhausted cultivators were haggling with a group of foreign merchants, carrying large and small packages on their backs.
This was the place where groups of cultivators who entered the dangerous mountain range would trade with the caravans. The stowaways who tried to cross the dangerous mountain range would also wait here.
As long as they had enough people, they could find a group of cultivators to lead the way. If they didn’t have enough people, they could only continue to wait.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a narrow escape from death. The teams of cultivators who carried supplies across two battlefields would definitely not take only a few people because it was not worth it.
Although the profit of smuggling people could not be compared to carrying supplies, it was still a rich income!
The most important point was that the more people there were, the more cannon fodders they would have to attract. This way, when the cultivator team encountered danger, they could quickly escape and preserve their strength as much as possible.
Therefore, every team of cultivators would make it clear in advance that they would not provide any security services. If they encountered monsters, they could only pray for themselves!
Even so, there were still many stowaways waiting here, looking forward to the number of people being gathered as soon as possible!
After the young man arrived, he only asked a single question, and someone immediately walked over and pulled him into a group of men and women with different expressions and cultivation levels.
There was no doubt that these people were all gathered together, waiting for the stowaways led by the cultivator team!
These people all had different identities, but none of them were ordinary people. They were all genuine cultivators.
Some of the cultivators even deliberately covered their faces in order to prevent others from seeing their appearance and avoid unnecessary trouble.
In order to ensure that they were not discovered by the enemy, they did not speak at all, only communicating with hand gestures.
Even when he spoke, he used a fake voice, which sounded hoarse and dry.
After asking about the specific situation in a few sentences, the young man also joined the group of men and women. At the same time, he indifferently glanced at Tang Zhen before silently staring at the long sword in his hand in a daze.
Tang Zhen sized up these stowaways and slowly stepped in. He crossed his arms and waited.
With the addition of Tang Zhen and the young man, the number of people in this group had reached twenty people, which was enough for those cultivator teams to take them on once.
Therefore, a red-haired cultivator with fine hair walked over.
He was wearing chainmail, and on his shoulder was a small beast that looked like a squirrel but had a pair of wings. It looked very clever and had bright eyes.
The foreign cultivator first looked at everyone, and his eyes stayed on the Lord cultivators for the longest time. Then, he said,”This time, our team will lead you across the border, so you must follow my arrangements for the time being.
There are a few conditions that I must state in advance. If you can’t fulfill them, get lost immediately!
First, everyone had to pay a fee of 100000 brain beads, half first, and the other half after reaching the destination!
Furthermore, you have to prepare your own food and water. If you encounter danger, we will not be responsible for your safety!
As for the third point, after entering the dangerous mountain range, you must listen to orders, or you will be killed without mercy!”
After saying that, the Lord cultivator said in a cold voice, ” “As for the last point, after successfully reaching the destination, if you want to return, you must follow our team. It is strictly forbidden to enter the route we have opened.
Otherwise, once we find him, we won’t let him go even if we have to go to the ends of the earth!”
Obviously, this was a means of protecting the interests of those cultivator teams. Otherwise, wouldn’t they suffer huge losses if the route they had painstakingly opened up was used by others to make money?
Of course, this was just a warning. Even if these stowaways remembered the route, they couldn’t easily pass through the mountain range. Not only would they encounter all kinds of danger, but they would also face the revenge of these cultivator teams.
Their members were on both sides of the dangerous mountain range to prevent any accidents from happening. This way, even if something happened on the other side, they could still remedy it!
