"The flight of this sunset bird is quite stable, but its speed is far inferior to that of the blue-crowned skylark raised by my Beidou Dao Jizong, let alone the eaglet."
Sitting on the back of the Luoxia Bird, Ye Xingchen knew the flying speed of the Luoxia Bird with just a moment's notice.
Previously, he set off from Flowing Fire City on the Little Eagle, and at the speed of the Little Eagle, it took him five full days to reach Shifang Changhe. Judging from the speed of the Luoxia Bird, it would be at least twice as slow. Ye Xingchen was a little helpless about this, but he could only wait patiently.
And the two female slaves were hugging each other and riding a sunset colored bird with Ye Xingchen.
Fortunately, Ye Xingchen could continue to comprehend the Juexin Order without wasting any time.
And about a few thousand feet away from the Sun-Chasing Caravan, the people from the Flowing Fire Caravan were also riding ten sunset colored birds towards the long river in ten directions.
In fact, Ye Xingchen didn't know that a caravan like this that traveled all over the world seemed to be well-dressed and well-fed along the way, but in fact it was extremely fast. Whether it was purchasing supplies or buying and selling goods, it was almost resolute and did not waste anything. A drop of extra time.
The Chasing Sun Caravan and the Flowing Fire Caravan are both veteran caravans with many years of experience, and have already learned all these rules and behaviors deep into their bones, because for merchants, time is money.
Moreover, Beidou Tianyu has just entered the stage of war at this time. The five super sects are fighting fiercely on the frontline battlefield with shocking momentum. This may be a disaster for many casual cultivators, but for the caravans, it is Excellent business opportunity! Only during wars will there be crazy demand for large quantities of materials, especially various cultivation resources, such as their own elixirs and magical weapons, the prices of which will soar, even to the point of skyrocketing.
Because no matter how deep the foundation of the five super sects is, the consumption of similar elixirs, magic weapons, and sharp weapons is extremely staggering. The accumulation within the sect alone is definitely not enough. At this time, a caravan is needed to appear and buy various materials from them. Replenish yourself.
So not only the Sun-Chasing Caravan and the Flowing Fire Caravan, but probably countless caravans have appeared in the entire five regions of the North Sky at this moment, seizing every opportunity to sell various things and seek huge profits.
Along the way, except for necessary meals, no one spoke, and everyone was practicing individually.
Ye Xingchen is also immersed in the full understanding of the Jue Xin Order, hoping to fully understand the first level of the Jue Xin Order, "The Realm of Jue Sheng" before reaching the Shifang River.
Day after day, under the fluttering wings of colorful birds in the sunset, the Sun-Chasing Caravan and the Flowing Fire Caravan were getting closer and closer to the Shifang River, until a certain moment...
Wow!
Ye Xingchen, who had been closing his eyes to meditate on the Jue Xin Order, suddenly heard the sound of water flowing from the front, followed by waves of rich water vapor sweeping over the sky, making Ye Xingchen's eyes suddenly open!
The long river in ten directions has finally arrived again!
Ye Xingchen stood up, his black cloak covering his whole body, making a sound in the wind. The bright eyes under the cloak were staring at the vast river in the distance that seemed to stretch to the horizon, and his eyes kept flickering.
Because Ye Xingchen knew that after all his troubles, the most critical step of infiltrating the sun-chasing caravan was finally here! Taking advantage of this sun-chasing caravan, can he successfully step onto the iron-locked stone bridge and cross the long river in ten directions without concealing it from the people of the eight major sects?
All this is still unknown.
But as the saying goes, do your best and obey fate, Ye Xingchen did everything he should do, and the rest depends on the sky and himself.
Gua…
The sound of chirping resounded, and in the next moment, ten sunset birds suddenly fluttered their wings, and their huge bodies immediately swooped down towards the entrance of the Shifang Changhe Iron Lock Stone Bridge!
At this moment, Ye Xingchen has sat down again, and has completely calmed down his mood. He has become calm and calm, becoming what "Mr. Gu" should be like, and must not expose anything wrong.
At the same time, the closer he got to the Iron Lock Stone Bridge, the sharper Ye Xingchen's eyes became, constantly observing everything.
Although he had once observed the Ten Directions River while riding an eagle, in order not to alert the snakes and attract the attention of the eight major sect families, he flew very high and far, and could only make a rough exploration, but not be able to go deep.
As the sunset birds continued to land, after dozens of breaths, all ten sunset birds landed at the entrance of the Iron Lock Stone Bridge. At the same time, everything here was exposed to Ye Xingchen's eyes.
Around the Iron Lock Stone Bridge, there are eight simple stone palaces built against the river, and they form a sequence, guarding the entrance of the Iron Lock Stone Bridge tightly. Anyone who wants to step on the Iron Lock Stone Bridge The stone bridge will inevitably pass through these eight stone palaces.
Needless to say, Ye Xingchen also knew that the people lingering in these eight stone halls were naturally the disciples of the eight major sects and aristocratic families.
"Mr. Gu, come with me to step on the bridge."
Lian Chengying walked to Ye Xingchen and invited him to step on the bridge together.
Ye Xingchen's eyes flashed under the cloak, and he immediately spoke in a hoarse voice: "This is the first time for Gu to come to this iron-locked stone bridge over the Shifang River. It seems that someone has already controlled it?"
Ye Xingchen deliberately asked Lian Chengying this question in order to get some clues.
"Haha, as Mr. Gu said, the Ten Directions River has indeed been controlled by forces for a long time. A total of eight sects and families are lingering here. Every monk who wants to cross the bridge and pass the Ten Directions River must pay fifty yuan. Only spiritual crystals will do, and the ten directions river has been monopolized by the eight major sects and families."
Seeing Ye Xingchen ask a question, Lian Chengying immediately spoke with a smile.
"I see, Gu really doesn't know much about these things."
It seemed that Ye Xingchen's words aroused her interest, and Lian Chengying had the idea of showing off in front of Mr. Gu, so he immediately continued to speak: "This iron-locked stone bridge spans the entire Shidiang River. It is also the only road that can pass through the long river in ten directions. There is no other way, even if there are flying monsters, it cannot pass!"
"Mr. Gu must have felt that there is an unparalleled restriction on the void of the ten directions, that is, the forbidden air restriction. It has been passed down since ancient times. Even the monks in the True Soul Realm can only fly at low altitude. After skimming for a while, it was impossible to pass through."
Lian Chengying pointed to the void above the Shifang River and kept explaining, while Ye Xingchen nodded in agreement.
"Because of the restricted air restrictions and the fact that there is only one iron-locked stone bridge, it can be controlled by the eight major sects and make huge profits for them. There are three passes on this iron-locked stone bridge. , there are people from the eight major sects and families stationed there, and anyone who wants to cross the bridge will be noticed in an instant if they want to cause trouble."
As Ye Xingchen listened to Lian Chengying's explanation, his face slowly became serious under his cloak.
Because he knew that the three places on the iron-locked stone bridge were now not only for protection, but also for identifying and looking for him, Ye Xingchen!
"Mr. Gu, let's get on the bridge."
Soon, under the leadership of Lian Chengying, the people of the Japanese caravan slowly walked towards the Iron Lock Stone Bridge.
Ye Xingchen stood in front of the caravan, following behind the three elders and Lian Chengying. His mind was calm and there was no flaw in it.
Just when everyone stepped into the entrance of Iron Lock Stone Bridge, they heard a loud shout from ahead!
"He who comes is stopped!"
Lian Chengying seemed to have long been accustomed to this, and immediately said loudly: "Friends from the eight major sects and aristocratic families, we are all old friends when the Japanese caravan enters and wants to cross the river. Please make it easier for us!"
As soon as Lian Chengying finished speaking, Ye Xingchen heard bursts of sound piercing the air, and dozens of figures shot out from the eight stone palaces and arrived in front of the sun-chasing caravan.
Ye Xingchen looked at these dozens of figures carefully, and his eyes suddenly flashed.
Because there are five monks in the early stage of the Heavenly Soul Realm headed by them, and the rest are all in the Nether Soul Realm.
"It turns out that it's Mr. Lian from the Japanese caravan. We are indeed acquaintances. Since we are acquaintances, it's easy to say. On a per-capita basis, each person has fifty low-grade spiritual crystals. Mr. Lian has no objection, right?"
A voice came from far and near. It was one of the five early Tianpo realm monks. He was a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old. His face was solemn, as if he was born with a cold face, and a pair of eyes were shining. At first glance, he appears to be an extremely shrewd person.
"It turns out to be the third elder of the Cheng family. Each person has fifty low-grade spiritual crystals. Naturally, there is no problem. Please trouble the third elder to order them in person!"
Lian Chengying seemed to be extremely familiar with this process and spoke immediately.
"Um."
The third elder of the Cheng family immediately glanced at the entire caravan like an eagle's eye, and immediately said: "There are thirty-three people in total, fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual crystals per person, a total of one thousand six hundred and fifty yuan of low-grade souls...etc. Wait! That man in the black cloak! Take off your cloak immediately and reveal your true face! Let me see who you really are!"
Suddenly, the expression of the third elder of the Cheng family suddenly changed, his voice became extremely serious, and he spoke sternly!
Swish, swish, swish...
As the third elder of the Cheng family spoke, his body immediately flashed behind him, and people from the eight major sects and aristocratic families immediately swarmed in, surrounding the sun-chasing caravan!
At this moment, the third elder of the Cheng family was squinting his eyes and staring closely at the figure wearing a black cloak, and that figure was really Ye Xingchen standing among the sun-chasing caravan!
As soon as the words of the third elder of the Cheng family were heard, the atmosphere completely solidified, and everyone's eyes turned to Ye Xingchen!
"How brave, Ye Xingchen! Do you think you can get away by pretending to be a member of the caravan? You are so naive! We, the eight major sects, have been waiting here for you for a long time!"
With a flash of eyes, the third elder of the Cheng family took a step forward again and spoke in a cold voice, pointing directly at Ye Xingchen!
