“There’s enough rice and flour in the pavilion. 1 packed 2,000 catties. It’s enough for us to eat for four to five months.” “We’ll bring as many weapons, pills, and other supplies as we can.
“A portion of the gold and silver will be distributed to the disciples, and a portion will be loaded into the carriage. 1’11 find a place to hide the rest. We’ll come back to take them when the situation becomes easier in the future.
“But in this situation, I wonder if the gold and silver can still be used.”
Once he made up his mind, Zang Wei made arrangements one thing at a time and planned the route. He quickly packed up and loaded most of the carriages before setting off immediately.
There were not many people on the carriage.
Other than Zang Wei, Lin Yan, and the others, Xie Lingyan had brought three junior brothers and sisters. The rest of her junior brothers and sisters were either injured or unwilling to enter the mountain, so they stayed in Yanping District to rest.
Du Fushan did not go either. He was not alone. He had a wife and children at home, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to enter the mountains. He stayed in Ding’an City and gathered information.
…..
As for Yu Qian, Xu Hongchang, Lou Xing, and the others, they naturally returned to their homes and stayed behind in Ding’an City.
In order to avoid trouble, the few of them also put on simple disguises and bodyguards. Along the way, they encountered two teams of leather-armored soldiers, but the other party only took a few glances at them before leaving in a hurry.
Obviously, these soldiers had their own missions.
This was a close call. When they passed by the Liaoqian District near Chundu District, Pang Tong, who was in the lead, suddenly reached out. “Stop!”
Everyone stopped. Pang Tong’s expression darkened as he gestured for the carriage to rush into an alley to hide.
Two armored commanders led more than ten leather-armored soldiers and escorted a large group of dejected nobles through the main road.
The silk colored clothes they were wearing were covered in blood and dust. Their faces were bruised, and their noses were swollen. They were in a panic.
Pang Tong’s expression was solemn. “The few on the left are the two escort heads of the
Changfeng Escort Agency in the west of the city. They are at the Tough Realm. 1 didn’t expect them to be captured too.”
Xie Lingyan also said in a low voice, “The ones on the right are the core members of the Hong family of the Inner Circle! They are the top families in the city. Each family has two Noble Realm martial masters. They actually lost too.”
Lin Yan looked over. The Hong family?
Was it the family that Du Ting was loyal to, and the one where Gan Yang snatched away the Spirit Marrow in Ghost Market?
This was originally a high and mighty faction that lay across Ding’an City. He did not expect it to suddenly fall to such a state.
The few of them looked even more uneasy.
How much energy was needed to poison, besiege, and capture so many large families at the same time?
With this power, why would they stir up trouble in a small place like Ding’an City?
What was their motive?
“Huh?”
Pang Tong exclaimed softly.
The escort team suddenly stopped in front of an attic warehouse at the corner of the street. They pushed open the door and escorted everyone in.
“What’s wrong with that?” “That’s an entrance to the Blood Drop Cave Ghost Market.”
Pang Feiyan gritted her teeth and said, “Why did they send those people to the Ghost Market?” “Perhaps it’s for imprisonment. The underground cave is complicated and is a good place to imprison people.”
After all the soldiers entered the warehouse, everyone immediately set off and walked out of the city without stopping.
The wall of Ding’an City was neither tall nor thick, and the door was also open.
When the carriage reached the city gate, four or five soldiers suddenly surrounded it. “Wait!”
These soldiers were originally from the city lord’s residence’s patrol camp. At this moment, they were wearing leather armor and martial attire like the soldiers of Qinghong Martial Arts School and Dragon Gate Pavilion.
Xie Lingyan suddenly tensed up. Lin Yan shook his head at her and exchanged glances with Pang Tong.
Pang Tong went forward and sandwiched a few pieces of silver between a few pancakes before handing them over. “Military masters, it’s been hard on you. Have a pancake…”
After muttering a few words, the soldier waved his hand. “Let’s go!”
The few of them heaved a sigh of relief. These soldiers were nothing, but they were about to leave the city. It was better to avoid trouble.
Outside the city was a large piece of dilapidated farmland. It was sparse, and a group of emaciated farmers with sallow faces were working on the farmland weakly.
After passing through the intersecting fields, the carriage finally drove into the mountain road. Zang Wei was injured and sat in the carriage with Xiao Lu and Xiaozhi. Lin Yan and the others followed on foot. Soon, they merged into the vast mountains.
Bang!
Blood dripped from the corner of Pang Yinlong’s mouth. Like a bolt of lightning, he struck a flashing black shadow from afar.
However, the speed of the black shadow was not inferior to him. This palm only shattered a large area of hard green bricks in the air, emitting a series of shattering sounds.
In the next moment, a cold wind wrapped around a sharp beast-like claw and pounced at him.
So fast!
Pang Yinlong was alarmed. Previously, he had seen with his own eyes that a poisoned Noble Realm expert had one of his ears cut off by that rapid claw and had no choice but to surrender.
Immediately, the blood energy under his feet boiled. His body fell and he quickly floated back as if he was flying on the ground. Then, he punched out in the air.
The air instantly shook, and the entire room seemed to be stuffed with a huge firecracker in the middle. It exploded with a bang and was blown up by him. The black shadow that pounced over was also sent flying more than 100 feet and fell to the ground.
However, this fatal strike that could directly injure a Tough Realm expert did not have much effect on this black shadow.
The black shadow reached out and pressed on the ground, and his entire body bounced up.
Although it was called a human, it only had a simple human form and no human appearance.
He was extremely thin and skinny, like a bamboo pole. However, he was extremely tall, almost as tall as two ordinary people.
His hands and feet were extremely slender. His five fingers were long and sharp, and there were extremely sharp claws on them, like beasts.
But the head was the head of a normal person.
Overall, it looked like a withered corpse. If he laid his arms flat, he could be used as a tall drying pole.
However, this strange bamboo man was so fast that it made one’s hair stand on end. He was only slightly weaker than a Noble Realm martial artist like Pang Yinlong who specialized in speed.
His body was extremely tough, like steel and iron bones. It could not be broken.
And there were still three such terrifying bamboo men.
Pang Yinlong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as grief and indignation filled his eyes. Too many people had died too quickly…
Even Pang Meng was dead!
Although he had never liked Pang Meng, this was his biological brother!
All of this was because of the bamboo man in front of him, and because of the fake City Lord!
There was also the Wang family, the Song family, the Void Fist Sect…
Those traitors!
Killing intent overflowed from Pang Yinlong’s eyes. Since he could not escape or hide, he had to at least kill a bamboo man to avenge Pang Meng!
Just as he was about to attack…
Suddenly, footsteps sounded. A weak-looking young man wearing a pair of golden-framed round glasses walked into the courtyard and walked out from behind the bamboo man.
Pang Yinlong’s limbs turned cold instantly and his face turned pale.
Behind that person, three bamboo men in similar forms walked silently and lined up one after another.
They were either stained with blood or had pieces of flesh hanging from their sharp claws. They looked at Pang Yinlong as if they were sizing up a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
The weak young man coughed twice and pushed the golden-framed round glasses on the bridge of his nose. He said to himself, “It seems that the effect of the Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder on the Noble Realm is weaker than 1 thought. In less than half an hour, the poison has almost been expelled.” “Who exactly are you?!” Pang Yinlong’s pupils constricted as he stared at the young man who looked incompatible with the situation.
The young man seemed to have just noticed him and smiled. “Pang Yinlong, not bad. You’re really fast. You can actually suppress a Type-II Giant Spirit Soldier. Your strength has really exceeded my expectations.
“In order to reward you, I want to give you the most special arrangement.
“I believe that with an excellent material like you, my Giant Divine Soldier Project will definitely reach a higher level…”
A resolute anger flashed across Pang Yinlong’s eyes. “Dream on!”
His strength was released and his blood energy surged. Pang Yinlong pierced towards the young man like a fearless bolt of lightning.
Pa!
He casually threw out a fine stone. The stone was like a missile that tore through the air and broke the waist of a yellow-striped spotted snake that was hanging down. It fell to the ground and twitched.
Beside him, Ji Quan skillfully took out a dagger and cut off the snake’s head with a swing of his saber. He kicked it away and raised the snake’s body that was still trembling and bouncing. He rubbed it from top to bottom and pushed away the blood and internal organs. He threw it into the basket on his back.
“Brother Lin Yan, this one weighs two catties. If we get a few more, we ll have meat and food for the next few days!”
…..
Lin Yan nodded perfunctorily.
Ji Quan was Xie Lingyan’s sixth junior brother. He was young and was only 15. He was strong and healthy and had bronze skin.
The other two were Pei Qing and Fan Yunyun. They didn’t talk much.
Ji Quan seemed to have guessed that Lin Yan was the mysterious masked man who had saved Qinghong Martial Arts School previously. After meeting him, he kept talking and praising Lin Yan non-stop. He kept calling him Brother Lin Yan and revealed a look of admiration from time to time.
As for Lin Yan, although he found him annoying, he could only endure it helplessly.
This was because Ji Quan was from the Guangchuan Mountains and later joined Qinghong Martial Arts School.
Their destination this time was also to follow his directions and head to the small village where he came from.
Looking left and right, the trees towered into the clouds. The dense leaves blocked the sunlight, and only a few wisps leaked out, like beams of sunlight.
There were unknown bushes and weeds everywhere. Snake ants and flying insects climbed back and forth. From time to time, the low roar of a beast could be heard from afar, making one shudder.
After walking a short distance into the Guangchuan Mountains, they already felt a sense of wilderness and antiquity that was isolated from the world. From civilization, it quickly changed to wilderness.
With this thought in mind, Lin Yan suddenly frowned. His figure flashed and he suddenly arrived beside Pang Tong, who was in front of the convoy. He waved his hand and grabbed a sharp arrow.
Then, he threw it forcefully. The arrow shot out and flew back along the original path.
“Ah!”
A scream came from the depths of the bushes.
At the same time, Xie Lingyan had already rushed to the front. She took out a rough cloth from somewhere and waved it violently, sending the other three arrows flying.
A terrified shout immediately sounded from the bushes. “The wind is tight! Let’s retreat!” “It’s the second wave,” Lin Yan said in a low voice. “1’11 go.”
He immediately flashed into the bushes.
“Spare me!” “We failed to recognize you! Let us go!” “I’ll fight you to the death!”
Shouts, begging for mercy, and screams immediately sounded from all directions. The bushes shook rapidly, and a little red blood splattered high.
However, after more than ten breaths, all the sounds disappeared.
After another ten breaths, Lin Yan reached out and lifted the tall weeds. He felt refreshed. He put away his bulging bag and walked out as if nothing had happened. He said calmly, “Continue walking.”
Pang Tong, Pang Feiyan, Ji Quan, and the other junior brothers and sisters held their breaths.
Pang Tong said bitterly, “Junior Brother Lin, is this the Strength Realm you mentioned?
Just admit it. You were the one who saved Dragon Gate Pavilion and the masked man who beat me up, right?”
Lin Yan couldn’t be bothered to explain. He had many secrets, and the more he explained, the harder it was to explain.
His expression remained unchanged as he forced a perfunctory reply. “Senior Brother Pang, what masked man? Why don’t I understand? Besides, shouldn’t Strength Realm experts have this strength?”
The second half of the sentence was not fake at all.
Everyone was speechless. Pang Tong’s expression was naturally even more resentful..
