There are about thirty people in the caravan, and about twenty of them are mortals without any cultivation. Among the eight guards, six are in the psychic stage and two are in the spirit-controlling stage. This kind of configuration is actually quite powerful. After all, the goods this time are quite valuable. Cheng Lu, who was responsible for escorting the Tongming Stone at the time, was only at the ninth level of Yuling Realm. There were not many mystical practitioners above Yuling Realm.
Xuanzhe is a general-level existence in Rising Sun City. Mortals have a lifespan of 100, while mystics have a lifespan of 500. This five-fold gap is equivalent to two species. Most people will never be able to enter the Mysterious Sect in their lifetime. Being a fourth-level alchemist is a hurdle, but a fifth-level alchemist has a very high status. The most fundamental reason is that a fifth-level alchemist can refine the fifth-level Xuan Dan. The Xuan Dan can increase the probability of entering the Xuan, so it is very valuable.
Zhan Yue rode a horse and followed the caravan. He soon discovered that the man in black robe was also among the caravan. The man in black robe also noticed Zhan Yue, then kicked the horse under him and came to Zhan Yue.
"Mr. Zhan, we meet again." The man in black robe made a hoarse voice.
"I have met my senior. The improved blast pill that he taught me last time is indeed effective." Zhan Yue said politely, but he was curious that Deacon Luo didn't seem to follow.
The man in black robe nodded and asked: "You also plan to go to Pearl City to participate in the auction."
Zhan Yue did not hide anything and nodded, "To prepare for a fourth-grade alchemy master, it is best to collect the medicinal materials in advance. By the way, senior, what kind of city is Pearl City?"
The man in black robe did not expect Zhan Yue to ask this, but he patiently explained: "Pearl City is located in the southeast of the Eastern Kingdom. It is built on the sea. It is the most important port city in the Eastern Kingdom and is very prosperous. If the imperial capital is the Eastern Kingdom, If the city is the political center and the academic center is the cultural center, then the Pearl City will be the trade center."
Zhan Yue nodded, no wonder such a large auction would be held in Pearl City.
The land route from Qianyu City to Pearl City is very smooth, and there are many inns along the way. This trip was originally very safe, but Zhan Yue felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he was being spied on by tigers and wolves.
"What kind of mountain is that in front of you?" Zhan Yue saw towering peaks ahead. There were such continuous mountains on the open plain land.
"It's the Tianshen Mountain Range. We don't pass there, we only go around the foot of the edge of the mountain. Legend has it that this mountain range is not naturally formed, but was moved here artificially. Of course, this is just a legend, and I am not sure, but in the plains There are all these majestic mountains standing out of nowhere, it’s really strange.” The man in black robe explained.
"Moved here?" Zhan Yue took a breath, what kind of god can move mountains? When I have some free time later, I have to go take a look at the Tianshan Mountains. Maybe I can find some ruins.
The so-called "running to death" in the mountains means that they walked from early morning to afternoon before reaching the foot of the mountain. They did not need to climb the mountain. The official road bypassed the mountain range and was very spacious. Although the road is wide, the terrain here is very dangerous. There are mountains on the left, cliffs on the right, and surging rivers under the cliffs. But people in this world are not afraid of cliffs, and the danger is only for mortals.
"When you walk out of here along the river, you will reach Wangshan Station. You can have a good rest when you walk there today." The man in black robe explained, and everyone still insisted on the principle of not spending the night outdoors.
The towering mountains on the side were very quiet, and there was only the sound of horse hooves on the road. Zhan Yue frowned, and the feeling of being spied on became more obvious.
A horse's cry echoed down the valley. The carriage at the front stopped, followed by the carriage behind it. But they saw five tall horses blocking a group of people. On the backs of the five huge horses, there were five strong men sitting, each with their bare arms and hats on, and their eyes were fierce.
"Dongye Five Horses? How did they get here?" The man in black robe had a worried look in his eyes.
"Huh? Are there still robbers blocking the road now?" Zhan Yue asked doubtfully.
"Of course there are, but not many. During Yejun's trouble, Yejun and his ninety-nine demons captured various prisons and released a large number of prisoners from the prisons of Dongguo and Chaoyangguo. These prisoners returned to Yejun's power. After that, they started causing chaos everywhere, stealing money and killing people, and committed all kinds of evil. Dongguo attacked many times, but they would escape far away after committing a crime every time, and it was difficult to find traces. After Ye Jun disappeared, most of the ninety-nine demons were killed, and all the demons were killed. I went into hiding, but I didn’t expect that the five horses of Dongye would dare to show up." The man in black robe explained.
"The five horses of Dongye are the ninety-nine demons?" Zhan Yue asked in shock.
"That's not the case. The ninety-nine demons refer to the ninety-nine mystical practitioners under Lord Ye. These five people are just the subordinates of the ninety-nine demons. If they were five mystical practitioners, we would just kill ourselves. They are afraid now. He was so cunning that he didn't dare to come out to cause trouble, but he let his chess pieces come out to disgust people. The five robbers and bandits active in Dongye City were all five people who were active outside Dongye City. They had all been caught and were rescued when they were asked to kill. I didn't expect that they would come here now." The man in black robe said, "These five people are extraordinary in strength. We will try to escape as soon as possible and we will be safe if we run to Wangshan Post."
Zhan Yue looked at the man in black robe with a speechless expression. This man in black robe seemed to be strong, so why did he want to run away.
The man in black robe was horrified by Zhan Yue's look, and explained with a red face: "Although I am at the ninth level of Yuling, I have hardly ever fought. I focus on studying alchemy and am not good at martial arts, so I can't be of much help. "
"I see." Zhan Yue nodded slightly. No wonder he wanted to run away before fighting. It seemed that he really didn't know how to fight.
The person in charge of the caravan was also a master of the sixth level of Yuling. He was dressed in a floral robe and had a somewhat bloated figure. He walked up, bowed his hands to the five people and said, "Five of you, please accept the money for buying the road. We all have rules." Got it." The fat man in the colorful robe threw a package to the person in the center of the five people.
The man took the package but didn't even look at it. He asked instead, "Are you from the Wanju Chamber of Commerce?"
"Exactly." The fat man in colorful robes was not afraid either. The Wanju Chamber of Commerce was the one who kept the name.
"That's right. The president of the Wanju Chamber of Commerce once publicly insulted His Majesty Ye Jun. The superiors have told him that anyone who encounters the Wanju Chamber of Commerce will be killed without mercy!" The man laughed.
"This!" The fat man in colorful robes immediately lost his mind when he heard this. These five people were well known for their fierce reputations, and they were all strong men in the spirit-controlling realm. The strongest boss is already at the ninth level of Yuling.
"You...you are so brave." The guards rushed forward one after another. However, facing these five fierce and evil people, the eight guards were a little timid.
"Brothers, kill all the men and grab the women and go up the mountain. The Tianshen Mountain Range is deep and densely forested, and those mediocre generals from the Eastern Kingdom can't even hope to find us." The boss gave the order and began to massacre the caravan.
"These five people are all worthy of death. No one will hold me accountable for killing them, right?" Zhan Yue asked the man in black robes beside him, his right hand had quietly condensed flames.
"What do you want to do? We are no match for them, so we should run away as soon as possible." The man in black robe said. She had already taken several amplification pills and was ready to escape at any time.
"Where are the thieves from? You have seniors here, how dare you act so arrogantly!" Zhan Yue suddenly shouted loudly, and with his voice, the eyes of the five horses were indeed attracted.
"Hey, there are actually experts hiding in the caravan. Second brother, follow me and kill this ninth-level Yuling first." The two fast horses, the boss and the second brother, rushed towards the man in black robe.
"You..." The man in black robe looked at Zhan Yue and became furious.
"Senior, hold them two for a few seconds. I'll help you after I deal with the others. This is the method with the least casualties." Zhan Yue, however, avoided it and walked to the front. Naturally, the two horses didn't notice Zhan Yue, a sixth-level psychic, and both headed towards the man in black robes.
"Bastard!" The man in black robe gritted his silver teeth, then took out a handful of pills and threw them at the two people. Purple smoke exploded. When the two people jumped out of the purple smoke, the two horses had already fallen to the ground and neighed.
Affected by the purple smoke, the two of them felt itchy and unbearable. For a moment, they lost the desire to attack and stopped to force the poisonous gas out of their bodies. While the men in black robes held back the two strongest men, Zhan Yue joined the battlefield ahead. The guards were already fighting with the remaining three horses.
The figure disappeared ghostly, and then ghostly appeared behind a person. The man had dismounted and was holding a bone flute in his hand. This was his contract object. The sound rhythm's large-scale attack was very powerful.
Zhan Yue, who had escaped from the ground, suddenly appeared behind the man. The long-compressed flame in his hand shot out like a rocket, instantly piercing the man's heart from the back. The man with the flute fell down in confusion. He obviously still had many methods that he had not used yet, so why did he die so hastily?
"One!" Zhan Yue said calmly. It was the first time he had killed someone with clear consciousness. The blood in his body was boiling. He seemed to be a born cold-blooded killer without any fear.
"Fifth brother!" The two people around were shocked when they saw that the fifth brother had been killed. The two of them forcibly killed the surrounding guards and headed towards Zhan Yue, determined to avenge their brother. One of the two contracted a kitchen knife, which was extremely sharp, and the other a sickle, which was extremely fast. Before they became contracted, they were just ordinary villagers.
The two of them rushed to Zhan Yue's side, one on the left and the other on the right, but no matter how they slashed, they could not even injure Zhan Yue. In the eyes of others, the two of them were just dazzled by the slashing, and there was no trace of it at all. It was like slashing towards Zhan Yue.
"The Yaoguang Step is so strong. Fortunately, I killed the man with the flute in seconds. I couldn't dodge his large-scale attack." While Zhan Yue displayed his body, he finally had a counterattack. He condensed fire into a sword in his hand, and a Escape came behind a person, and the sword was narrowly avoided by that person, but he was still injured in the waist.
"Third brother, be careful, this person can teleport." The seriously injured man immediately retreated and was protected by his third brother.
When the sneak attack failed, Zhan Yue sighed and used the phantom sword technique for the first time in front of others. The third child saw Zhan Yue stabbing his head. He quickly turned his head, only to see that the flaming sword had pierced his heart.
"What...what's going on?" This was his biggest question before his death. They can't understand the mystery of gold-grade martial arts.
"Okay, I'll leave this seriously injured waist to you." Zhan Yue immediately ran towards the man in black robe. Although the remaining guards looked at each other, they still reacted and swarmed towards the wounded.
"Two idiots, don't you know who is the strongest here? Look back at your three brothers." The man in black robe complained as he looked at the two people who were approaching him. After taking the pill, she was as fast as The response was very quick and there were no injuries at all.
The two looked back and saw that their fourth brother was surrounded by a group of guards and hacked to death with swords, while the third and fifth brothers had already fallen to the ground.
"Fourth brother!" The two men's eyes were split, and they put down the man in black robe and went back to kill him. On the way, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the ground and grabbed two people's feet. They were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
