Somewhere, a resplendent two-wheeled carriage was galloping on the vast sandy land, raising dust wherever it passed.
But what was pulling the carriage was not a tall horse, but two tall, mighty, and menacing spiritual beasts, Suanni, covered in golden hair, covered in golden armor, and with two extremely terrifying sharp fangs.
The sand and dust raised behind the carriage were not caused by the ruts, but were stirred up by Suanni's palms as wide as a grinding plate.
After the carriage passed, two figures slowly appeared one after another on the hill in the distance. They quietly looked at the carriage heading towards Liangcheng.
Lin Xiaojie, who was behind the tall and thin man in a black cloak, looked at the carriage going away and suddenly asked: "Master, is something big going to happen in Liangcheng?"
Suanni are rare in the Northern Continent, and the status of those who can drive them is naturally not simple. They are either rich and powerful merchants, or people with deep family backgrounds.
In addition, almost no one dares to use Suanni to drive a car, because it is not only a symbol of strength, but also a sign of noble status.
The reason why Lin Xiaojie asked this was because he could see that the people in the carriage were not ordinary people, and they must have a purpose for coming to Liangcheng for no reason.
He could even conclude that once this carriage arrived in Liangcheng, it would definitely attract the absolute attention of several sect owners in the city.
Because no sect in Liangcheng could afford to offend the people in the carriage, and they did not dare to offend them. From this, he guessed that something big was going to happen in Liangcheng, but it would probably not be a good thing.
This is what he and Martial God have learned over time, to speculate on the development of things through subtle observations.
After hearing this, the God of War smiled heartily. He stared at the carriage that gradually disappeared into the dust and said, "You have been following me for so long, and you have finally made some progress."
Lin Xiaojie lowered his head slightly and said without being arrogant or impetuous: "Master is not only powerful, but also extremely thoughtful. Xiaojie has only scratched the surface."
The God of War nodded with great satisfaction, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked down the mountain calmly. As he walked, he said: "Humans are born to learn. Observation is part of it, and thinking is part of it."
"A reckless person will never achieve great things. Take your time, learn more and see more. You still have a long way to go in the future."
Lin Xiaojie followed behind the God of War and said humbly and respectfully: "Master teaches, disciples should remember it carefully."
"Okay, we can't stop what's coming. As for what will happen, let's wait and see." After the God of War finished speaking, he raised his feet and left quickly.
Lin Xiaojie frowned, stood there with a solemn expression, and muttered: "Since you can't stop it, why are you here to watch?"
He thought about it carefully, shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, Master is the Martial God of the Northern Continent. If you can't stop him, then who else can?"
As he said that, he smiled calmly, didn't take it seriously, and hurriedly chased after the tall and thin man.

Desert ruins
third area
Xian Qingyun, Feijiu, Xiao Hai, Fei Xiaoyuan, Jia Juesheng, Hua Yao, and Zhufeng were roasting meat by the campfire, but Ziyang and Pei Yuan were nowhere to be seen.
Of course, what they eat and drink now is in the hands of the flying eagle, and all the food on them has been eaten up long ago.
At one point, Pei Yuan, who was walking side by side with Zi Yang in the dark passage, asked, "Zi Yang, why do I feel that you have changed a lot since you came back? Is there anything on your mind?"
Zi Yang took off his mask and said, "The Divine Sword has appeared, and I must get it."
Pei Yuan nodded and said: "I heard Xian Qingyun and the others talk about the Divine Sword, but don't worry too much. Today is different from the past. There are so many of us now, and Xian Qingfeng and the others are no longer worried. It’s not very difficult to seize the Divine Sword.”
Zi Yang looked at him and smiled, and reminded him seriously: "Don't think about things too simply. I always feel that something will happen this time."
"possible......"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Pei Yuan immediately asked, "What's possible?"
He looked solemn and said: "It is possible that a real war is coming. Of course, this is just my personal guess."
After hearing what he said, Pei Yuan smiled with interest and asked, "Oh? Are you saying that the blood ants are going to fight us desperately?"
"We don't rule out this possibility. Think about it, they can even forge divine swords, so what can't they do?" He slapped the sand wall beside him and sighed: "There are still many of us in this place. It’s a secret I don’t know.”
Pei Yuan nodded in appreciation and said: "Yes. This group of blood ants is not simple. First, they control Doukui and the others, and then the sword-making process. It can be said that they are still very smart."
Zi Yang said casually: "It's strange to say that I have been here for so long and I haven't seen any living blood ants yet."
Without thinking, Pei Yuan immediately replied: "Maybe they are afraid of the power of the mythical beasts."
When Zi Yang heard this, he immediately stopped, frowned and asked, "The power of the divine beast? What do you mean?"
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Pei Yuan laughed awkwardly and said, "It's nothing. The flying eagle said that you have the breath of a beast. Maybe the blood ants are afraid of this."
Others may not know, but he knows very well in his heart that the reason why the blood ants are afraid of Zi Yang is because he has the aura of the divine beast Thunder Tiger in his body.
Ziyang didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to make it too clear. This would be beneficial to both of them.
He changed the topic and suddenly said: "I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me, the left eye of the flying eagle is very powerful in healing injuries."
Pei Yuan stared at him and asked, "You don't want him to go with us, do you?"
Zi Yang said without any secret: "I have this idea, but I don't know if he is willing to join my team."
Pei Yuan shook his head and smiled: "I don't think it is possible. He has a group of team members who have experienced life and death. If you want him to join us, there is little hope."
"Besides, this is a bit too cruel. People have their own teams, and you want to break them up. Don't you think it's a bit cruel?"
Zi Yang felt that what he said made sense and said, "That's true. Even if Feijiu agrees, those under him will not agree."
"Alas! Originally, I wanted to invite him to join the team, but after listening to what you just said, I changed my mind and decided to let him go."
Pei Yuan heard his words full of regret, and immediately said: "I'm just making a random suggestion. If you want him to join the team, you can tell him. What if he is interested?"
Zi Yang said directly: "Forget it. If he is alone, I will invite him to join the team anyway, but he has his own team, so I'd better not say anything like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, a breeze blew through the passage. The hair hanging on the side of Ziyang's face slowly fluttered, and a faint aroma of wine drifted by.
The two of them knew without thinking that Zhufeng must have come looking for them.
Sure enough, a breeze blew by. Zhufeng folded his hands on his chest, leaned against the sand wall and asked, "What are you two talking about here?"
Zi Yang smiled and said: "What else can we talk about? Just talk casually."
Zhufeng frowned slightly, curled his lips and asked, "Just chatting? I can't see it, right? I heard you talking about the flying eagle."
"Zi Yang, are you trying to invite Feijiu to join us?"
Ziyang and Pei Yuan looked at each other and smiled, without answering him, they turned and walked towards the exit of the passage.
Zhufeng chased after him, came to Ziyang's side, and asked, "Ziyang, what were you two laughing at just now? Did I say something wrong?"
Zi Yang looked at him and smiled: "You're right. What do you think? Do you want Feijiu to join our team?"
Zhufeng paused and said, "I... don't agree with him joining us."
Pei Yuan asked curiously: "Oh? Why?"
Zhufeng said carefully: "Think about it, there are many people with superb medical skills, and he is not the only one."
"Also, I'm not talking about you, Ziyang. Our team doesn't even have a girl right now. As the captain, you have a lot of responsibilities."
Zi Yang joked: "Yao Rou is good, do you think it's okay?"
Upon hearing the name Yaorou, Zhufeng immediately clapped his hands and applauded. Not to mention how happy he was, he said, "Okay! That's great!"
While excited, he said rationally: "It's just that people are so strong, they may not necessarily like us."
Pei Yuan laughed and said, "Come on, stop dreaming here. Zi Yang just said it casually. I didn't expect you to take it seriously."
"Besides, even if Ziyang agrees, do you think Huayao will agree?"
Zi Yang immediately pushed his arm with his elbow and said quickly: "Pei Yuan, what did you say? I didn't say let Yaorou join us, I didn't even think about it!"
Pei Yuan saw that he was very resistant, and also knew that he was afraid of being heard by Hua Yao, so he said: "I'm not making an analogy, Ziyang, don't get excited."
Zhufeng said slightly displeased: "I don't care so much! Ziyang, as the captain, you are not even willing to let a girl join our team. If people see this, they will laugh at us."
Zi Yang felt helpless and said: "Zhufeng, I know what you are thinking, but feelings are a matter between two people and cannot be forced."
Zhufeng replied: "Zi Yang, why can't you force yourself? I don't believe it. Relationships can be cultivated. How can you expect two people who have never even met to have a relationship?"
Pei Yuan looked at Zi Yang beside him and said, "Zi Yang, Zhu Feng is right, but it also depends on fate."
Zi Yang said seriously: "Wait! None of what you said is important, I only care about ability."
"As long as you have the ability, both men and women will have the opportunity to join the team."
Zhufeng felt happy and said with a smile: "This is what you said, Ziyang. If you meet a girl who meets the requirements in the future, don't be embarrassed to speak."
Zi Yang said: "Of course, the main reason is that he has his own characteristics and pursuits. Just like Jia Juesheng likes to study formations and Xuan Yi sword can be used, Pei Yuan and I have the same spirit."
Zhufeng asked expectantly: "What about me?"
"You..." Zi Yang did not answer him directly, but looked at Pei Yuan with a smile.
Pei Yuan smiled and said, "You are more lustful."
Zi Yang smiled and nodded: "It makes sense, it makes sense."
Zhufeng looked slightly dissatisfied and said, "Huh? You two are obviously trying to make fun of me. I asked you to go to dinner with good intentions. It's good for you. You have nothing else to do but make fun of me."
Zi Yang put one arm around Pei Yuan's shoulder and the other arm around Zhu Feng's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's go eat!"
