Because of the accident caused by Miao Xiaohong, Jiang Yan and Zhao Yuanba were infected by the evil spirit and had to quickly change into clean clothes before the team set off.
As for the previous body, there is no way to deal with it and can only be thrown away.
Even so, there was still an unpleasant "smell" hovering around the three of them, which could still be easily detected by others.
"Hehehe..."
Zhao Yuanba’s teeth grinded:
"Miao Xiaohong, I think this matter can't be solved. When you return to Nanyan City, you have to invite me to Yujian Tower to have fun."
"That's... okay." Miao Xiaohong knew that he was in the wrong, so he directly agreed to the matter without retorting. Then, he glanced sideways at Jiang Yan and asked aloud:
"Brother Jiang, what kind of compensation do you want?"
"Give me a bottle of this elixir."
Jiang Yan raised his hand and pinched his nose, temporarily isolating himself from the outside world:
"You came so late, you can't just refine one bottle... Well, I think Brother Xiao Hong, you have a talent in this area, and these elixirs are also very interesting."
"I have ten bottles in total."
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, a smile appeared on Miao Xiaohong's face. She felt that someone could know his strengths and advantages, and she felt much happier.
He took out five similar gray bottles from his pocket, stuffed them into Jiang Yan's hands, and said generously:
"Give you half."
Miao Xiaohong also hopes to be recognized... Jiang Yan secretly thought to himself, and without stopping, he took the "stinky" elixir that the other party handed him and put it in a separate pocket.
"Everyone..."
At this time, a deep and powerful voice suddenly sounded, clearly echoing in the ears of everyone here:
"Let's go."
Attracted by the sound, everyone raised their heads and cast their sights in that direction, and found an ordinary-looking man wearing a green robe standing at the front of the team, standing under the opened middle door of the White Crane Chamber of Commerce.
"Chu Pingqing..."
Seeing that man, Jiang Yan couldn't help but whisper his name. This was the leader of the Aoki Hall team, and the one with the highest apparent cultivation level in the team.
This is a Talisman Realm warrior who is said to have mastered the wood attribute technique.
Not long after, the entire Qingmu Hall team slowly squirmed, leaving the White Crane Chamber of Commerce and Nanyan City in order.
"gone."
Jiang Yan reminded Miao Xiaohong and Zhao Yuanba beside him, then turned his eyes to a carriage not far away.
…
…
Inside the Baihe Chamber of Commerce, in a certain room.
Yin Zhong raised his left arm, carefully hid an arrow-shaped hidden weapon, and then whispered to a position deep in the room:
"Master, I'm ready."
"Just right."
Deep in the room, a figure sitting on a low couch swayed gently, his voice was neutral, neither masculine nor feminine:
"Qingmudang has set off in front of the two incense sticks. You can lead a team and follow them secretly without being exposed."
Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
As he spoke, the figure slowly stood up and came to Yin Zhong. As he approached the door, the brighter light also reflected this person clearly.
This is a woman, she looks to be in her forties, has black eyes, short hair, slender eyebrows, and is wearing a fitted white robe with borders.
Her eyes fixed on Yin Zhong and became sharp:
"Last time I went to Lieyun City, an entire Jinfutang team was robbed. All goods and manpower were lost. Because of this, Vice-President Zhou was furious and deployed a large amount of resources to find the murderer.
"Now, we finally have a clue."
Yin Zhong stood solemnly and listened carefully.
Just listen to the woman named Xie continue:
"According to the information from Deputy Guild Leader Zhou, the last person who attacked Jinfutang was the 'Yinfeng Bandits', a bandit gang that was only established for half a year. Its leader is a master with Talisman Realm cultivation.
"Now, take your people with you and work with Chu Pingqing to defeat this bandit team, find out the forces behind them, and find out which old friend is using dirty tricks."
"yes!"
Yin Zhong lowered his head slightly and agreed immediately.
…
…
Outside Nanyan City.
On the wide talisman road leading to Lieyun City.
The team belonging to the White Crane Chamber of Commerce was mixed in the noise of many forces and slowly headed south.
"Oh..." Zhao Yuanba's nostrils were stuffed with soft lumps. He looked regretfully at the carriage behind him and said with a hint of disgust:
"Miao Xiaohong, thanks to you, the three of us can occupy a carriage."
Because of the "stinky smell", although those traveling with Bai Hetang didn't say anything, they all chose another carriage and crowded together.
"This...I..."
Miao Xiaohong's face turned red and she was choked and speechless.
Golden Core realm warriors are also human beings. Like ordinary people, they are happy and angry... Jiang Yan shook his head and did not participate in the conversation between the two. He opened the curtain and observed the outside world.
At this moment, because it was already a little far away from Nanyan City, and the teams of various forces had different purposes, there were not so many convoys near the Chamber of Commerce, and the field of vision became empty.
Different from the north of Nanyan City, although it is also hot here, the plants on both sides of the road are not dense, the branches and leaves are withered and yellow, and there is not much life in the forest.
"It is said that there is a vast desert between Nanyan City and Lieyun City. It is a forbidden area for life, with only a few oases growing there."
Jiang Yan recalled the detailed route map given by the Chamber of Commerce. He knew that the desert existed, but he did not expect its impact to be so great.
"Well, the most dangerous part of this road is probably here..."
After a little thought, Jiang Yan understood the significance of the existence of this desert. The restricted area of life was not really devoid of life, but the resources were limited and could not support too many.
Officials may not want to set foot in this kind of place, but it is definitely a place where some villains gather.
"However, this is a good thing. It would be better if there are a few peeping forces. The Talisman Realm warrior from the Chamber of Commerce still can't handle it. This is an opportunity."
He adjusted his sitting posture, held his chin with one palm, and his eyes flickered:
"If it doesn't work, just create an opportunity. I don't have that much patience."
After a while, Jiang Yan sighed again:
"It's just that accidents can have bad consequences."
He shook his head and gave up on the idea for the time being.
Snapped!
At this time, a big hand fell on his shoulder, and Zhao Yuanba's rough voice came:
"What are you looking at? So entranced?"
"Nothing, just take a look." Jiang Yan replied as he opened the curtain completely so that the three of them could see outside, and a featureless wasteland appeared simultaneously.
"That's it..." Zhao Yuanba looked away and said boredly: "The south of the city is like this. It has always been like this. There is obviously no shortage of rain, but these trees and grass just don't grow well."
There was a lot of rain... Jiang Yan grabbed this detail and made a casual guess:
"Wouldn't it be strange to say this? No one has thought about the reason. Maybe it is because of some kind of creation?
"For example: powerful tools, leaked ancient inheritance, or even worse treasures of heaven and earth..."
"That makes sense."
Zhao Yuanba did not refute, but nodded in agreement, and then said with a sigh on his face:
"I thought the same way when I was young, and I thought I was the only one who thought so. I wandered around the south of the city for a while, and even went to the Black Wind Desert..."
"What's the result?" Jiang Yan asked at the right moment.
"Of course there is nothing gained." Zhao Yuanba spread his hands, but his expression did not change much:
"But I still insist on my idea. There must be some secret hidden here, and..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth and looked outside again.
"Quack! Quack!"
In the sparse woodland at the edge of the Talisman Road, a group of toads the size of calves crossed in groups.
…
