The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 2020 Wherever you go, I'll go
Nasu-sen's expression changed drastically. "Holy crap, there's a wolf!"

The disdain on Yin Yang Immortal's face vanished in an instant, and he said, "What's there to fear from a few wild wolves? One sword, one kill, it's a matter of a blink of an eye!"

Naxuxian chuckled dryly, "Damn it, that old Tibetan dog's knife wounded me badly, and my right arm seems to be not very functional anymore, so I panicked a bit when I heard that wolf howl!"

Yin Yang Immortal laughed, "Aren't you at the peak of the eighth realm? Even if your right arm is unusable, you can still kill someone with a single grab of your left hand."

At the peak of the eighth realm, his claws are as hard as iron, and can penetrate stone as easily as rotten soil!
Yin Yang Immortal couldn't help but feel suspicious!
Na Xuxian was supposed to be an eighth-level expert, yet he was sweating profusely. What was going on?

Nasusen suddenly felt hot all over, his blood and qi were disordered, his heart began to beat faster, his body temperature began to drop, and he felt the air getting colder and colder, so he couldn't help but shiver!

Yin Yang Immortal looked at him with suspicion, "What's wrong with you?"

Nasu Sen said, "I don't know either!"

At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and the eldest brother, White Ape Immortal, and the fifth brother, Soul-Capturing Scholar Bewitching Immortal, entered.

White Ape Immortal frowned and said, "Let Fifth Brother take a look!"

The fifth brother lifted Naxuxian's back, examined the wound, and frowned, saying, "Are you sure it was sword energy that injured you?"

Naxu Xian said, "Yes, he was two zhang away from me, so it couldn't have been the blade that injured me!"

"That's strange. Your wound has turned black; you've clearly been poisoned!"

"What? That's impossible! His knife clearly didn't touch me!"

"Let me apply some antidote first, I don't know if it will work." Mi Xin Xian sprinkled some medicinal powder on Na Xu Xian's wound. He was a master of poisons, so he could tell at a glance that Na Xu Xian's wound was only from ordinary poison. "It seems the other party just wanted to teach you a lesson!"

White Ape Immortal said in a deep voice, "Are you sure it was that old Tibetan man who did it?"

Nasu Sendo: "Yes!"

The Enchanting Immortal said, "That's not right! The person who drew the knife didn't poison the poison; someone else did!"

Naxu Xian said, "Damn, poisoning without a trace, is he even more powerful than you?"

The White Ape Immortal fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said slowly, "In that case, the Tibetan caravan is full of hidden talents. It would be very risky for us to rob them!"

"Brother, we can use a diversionary tactic!"

"A good plan, but who will be the bait?"

Naxu Xian thought to himself: You have the best lightness skill here, so you are the most suitable to go!
But he dared not say it aloud! After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't you go, Sixth Brother? His lightness skill is second only to Eldest Brother, so there shouldn't be any danger for him."

The Enchanting Immortal said, "Since we can't attack head-on, we should use strategy. Why don't we have our second brother disguise himself as one of their compatriots and infiltrate the group, then we can take matters into our own hands!" The second brother, the Thousand-Faced Gentleman Painted Skin Immortal, is a master of disguise. His ability to impersonate others is so great that it is almost impossible to tell the difference between the real and the fake!

The white ape fairy's eyes lit up!
“Good! We’ll follow them, kill the last Tibetan escort first, then the second brother will put on his clothes and impersonate him. After that, we’ll take out the second to last man, grab the three cows, and then stop to avoid alerting them!”

“That’s a good idea,” Naxuxian agreed. “The caravan is lined up in a long line, with each yak spaced nearly ten feet apart. As long as we move quickly, killing the last few people shouldn’t be a problem!”

The White Ape Immortal said, "Then it's settled. How's your injury?"

Naxuxian felt the pain in his wound had lessened considerably. "It's alright now. The toxicity wasn't too strong. Thank you, Fifth Brother!"

The Enchanting Immortal said, "Why be so polite between brothers!"

The White Ape Immortal gently peeked through a crack in the curtain and looked into the distance. "Luckily, we didn't make a big fuss. They didn't even bother with us."

Naxu Xian asked, "Brother, do you think Feng Jiuxiao and the others know about this round trip just now?"

Bai Yuanxian sneered, "Brother, I bet Feng Jiuxiao heard everything we were saying! Besides, with all the commotion you've made, how could he not know?"

Naxuxian asked in surprise, "We're dozens of feet away from them, how could he hear us even when we're speaking so softly?"

The White Ape Immortal said, "Snake-like movements and ant-like actions are all under my control!"

I grass!

Everyone's expression changed!

Seeing that the yak herd was not moving, and there seemed to be no movement in the surrounding tents, and no watchmen outside, the wolf king silently began to run towards the yak herd. The wolf pack immediately followed closely behind, their paws making almost no sound on the ground!

Dozens of dark figures rushed to the side of the yak herd in the blink of an eye!

The wolf king launched the first attack, biting down on the throat of a yak!

The yak was immediately jolted awake. Just as it was about to roar, it felt a sharp pain in its left abdomen, right rib, back of the neck, and lower back at the same time! It had been bitten and held firmly by five wolves!

The yak struggled frantically, instantly alarming the entire herd!
The yaks were startled and scattered in all directions!

The frightened yaks ran incredibly fast, reaching the tent wall in the blink of an eye. The gaps between the tents were quite small, and the yaks, in their panicked state, ran wildly through the tents!
Hassan and Doba were already standing outside the tent!
Doba suddenly drew his longbow and fired an arrow at the wolf king!
Whoosh!
The wolf king was gripping the wolf's throat when suddenly an arrow pierced its skull! Without a sound, the wolf king released its grip and fell to the ground, motionless!
The other wolves instantly sensed the approach of death and immediately began to flee in the opposite direction!

The entire wolf pack immediately seemed to receive a retreat signal and fled westward at the same time!

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Doba shot arrow after arrow, killing five wolves in the process!
By the time the sixth arrow was aimed, the wolf pack had already vanished into the darkness!

Doba had no choice but to retract his bow, muttering sullenly, "Damn it!"

Hassan said, "Your Highness's archery skills are improving more and more!"

Doba shook his head and said, "Not at all! If it were Third Brother, he could wipe out the entire wolf pack in an instant! My arrow speed and power are far inferior to his!"

Hassan said, "I heard that Prince Gyatso has been in Gaozhou for several days now. I wonder how his preparations are going."

Doba said, "Unfortunately, our carrier pigeons can only fly from Gaozhou to Garan Temple. Once they leave Garan Temple, our information becomes delayed!"

Hassan said, "I estimate that the Third Prince will make his move in the next few days. We'll decide whether to enter the city then, depending on the situation!"

Doba said, "Okay!"

"Did you make a move just now?"

"You mean... the one who came to steal things?"

"Correct!"

"Oh, I shot him an ice arrow! I want to test the effect of reversing my internal energy!"

"Reversing the flow of true energy?"

"Condense your energy into ice, then transform the ice into arrows!"

"You mean, you reversed your internal energy, condensed it into ice, and then turned the ice into arrows?"

"Yes!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness! This old servant has cultivated diligently for decades but still dares not reverse the flow of true energy! I tried it once, and my blood and qi were blocked, causing me to faint!"

Doba's face showed a hint of smugness. "I also added a little poison to the ice arrow! The poisoned arrow hit the wound you cut him in, and then the ice arrow turned into vapor and vanished without a trace as soon as it entered the flesh. They won't be able to figure out how they were poisoned, no matter how hard they try!"

Hassan exclaimed, "Amazing!"

Doba glanced at the yaks scattering in all directions and frowned, saying, "These yaks are frightened and have run all over the place. It'll be a lot of work to chase them back!"

Hassan said, "It's alright, these yaks are all old. They'll get tired and head back the way they came, and they'll gather together again." Toba said, "That's good. We can slaughter those wolves, skin them, and make a robe."

Inside the tent, Chili was awakened by the commotion outside. Peeking out through a crack, she saw countless figures carrying torches moving in all directions, probably chasing after yaks.

"Miss, was there a wolf just now? I heard a wolf howl."

Yuan Zishan said, "Mm."

Chili belatedly realized, "Oh dear, where's the wolf?"

"Ran!"

"They ran away? They were scared away? Hmm, with so many people, they must have been scared away!"

"Aren't you sleepy anymore?"

"I just fell asleep, but they're making such a racket and I can't fall asleep again!"

"Then take a nap."

"Miss, do you think those Tibetans really think I'm good-looking?"

You're beautiful to begin with!

"Oh dear, miss, I'm serious!"

"Hehe, I'm serious with you too!"

"But I'm not as good-looking as you!"

"That's your opinion! Whether you look good or not doesn't affect Fifteen's liking for you!"

"Oh my lady!"

"Hehe, why is your face red again?"

"I'm not talking to you anymore, Miss! By the way, Miss, if we help Young Master Zeng get the Heavenly Roc Egg, where do we go afterward? Home?"

Yuan Zishan's gaze deepened. "It seems we can't go home. Jiuxiao promised Brother Wolf that he would accompany him to the Western Regions to seek revenge!"

Chili's expression also became somewhat unsettled: "Huh? I heard that Brother Wolf's hometown is thousands of miles away. If he goes there, how many years will it take him to come back?"

Yuan Zishan said, "Now we can only pray to God that Brother Wolf's revenge has been taken!"

Chili looked worried: "Even if he gets his revenge, if no one informs him, won't he still have to go back?"

Yuan Zishan laughed and said, "It's alright! You and Shiwu will go back to Hengyang, and Jiuxiao and I will go!"

Chili said, "No! Miss, I'll go wherever you go! I want to take care of you for the rest of my life!"

Yuan Zishan was touched, "Jiuxiao can take care of me too!"

Chili's eyes were a little red. "No! He's a man, very careless. I don't trust him!"

Yuan Zishan laughed and said, "You're sometimes even more careless than him! Alright, let's not talk about things that haven't happened yet, it's too sad. Let's take it one step at a time."

Chili said, "Anyway, I don't care. I'll go wherever you go." Then she closed her eyes.

Chang Zijing whispered, "Erni, are you asleep?"

Erni's snoring was faint, and she didn't respond, so she seemed to have fallen asleep.

Chang Zijin stared at the domed roof, thinking to herself: The Western Regions, they say the girls there have skin whiter than snow, hair like gold, and eyes like jewels. It would be very interesting to go and see for myself.

She knew that this was just self-deception!

The road to the West, also known as the Silk Road opened during the Han Dynasty, appeared to be a prosperous route, but in reality, it was a road of blood and tears!

Scenes were already flashing through her mind—

The wind and sand erode bones—on the shifting sand dunes outside Yumen Pass, the skeletons of camels are half-buried in the yellow sand, their ribs taut like harp strings, emitting a whistling tremor when the wind blows. "In the sandy river, there are many evil spirits and hot winds; those who encounter them all die, and their skeletons are piled up like beacon towers."

The "Ghost Gate on the Cliff"—the "Pastoral Plank Road"—is a treacherous path carved into a sheer ice wall. "Snow-covered mountains, cooking in suspended pots, it takes seven days to cross a single ridge." Countless rusted camel bells and Persian silver coins lie scattered at the foot of the cliff!

Bloodstained trade routes – the westward journey was filled with bloody plundering, with both the Qiang people – “the Hu and Qiang people often steal horses, kill people and burn carts”, and the Tubo – in the Qinghai area, merchants were often skinned alive to make drums!

The Tibetans believed that war drums made of human skin could summon storms.

The unpredictable nature of human nature – it is said that the locals of the Loulan Kingdom often led caravans around, but deliberately took them to the “end of the water” and demanded a price of a bolt of silk for a bag of water!

Unpredictable and mysterious – it is said that the “Yin-Yang Spring” on the north shore of Lop Nur spews boiling water in winter, and drinking it causes hallucinations. Merchants and travelers often see beautiful women tempting them to jump into the lake!

Another legend says that the howling wind at the Karakoram Pass sounds like a woman's lament, and the inscription on the garrison's monument reads: "At night, we heard ghosts singing 'Liangzhou Ci,' and at dawn, we saw hoof prints outside the tent as big as basins."

The so-called Silk Road was nothing more than a mirage paved with the bones of survivors!
This was her understanding of the Silk Road since childhood! It was the drunken honesty of her father and brothers' friends from the martial arts world! She believed that most of what those people said was true! Because she had already filtered out 30% of the exaggeration!
The hardships on the road are nothing compared to the hardships!
It's the person who suffers from loving someone they can't have!
But she can't let go!
This road may be tiring, but she wants to keep going!
Let's talk about it when we can't walk anymore!

Alone in an empty room? Wouldn't that suffocate you?

Find a man to marry? Having seen so many peaks, who else could possibly catch your eye?

It's so much better now! I can be with him every day! And I can even tease her whenever I want!
It's interesting just to think about!
Feng Jiuxiao's tent had been shielded by glass, so he and Pang Shiwu could hear the sounds outside, but their conversation could not be heard outside!

Pang Shiwu said, "Brother, that young man who looks quite like Gyatso is actually quite good at archery!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "You think he's good, but he's far from it! One arrow at a time, he'll surely die in a life-or-death battle! Liu Miezhou should be able to fire three arrows at a time, five in a row!"

"So that means shooting fifteen arrows in one go?"

"Not bad! Thirty-odd wolves, it'll be over in two breaths! He only fired six arrows, and his speed in changing arrows was too slow! If he were to exchange arrows with Liu Miezhou, he would have been hit by at least nine arrows before he could even fire his second one!"

"What's the point of even competing? I bet Liu's arrow will have killed him before the first shot is even fired! By the way, brother, I heard sister-in-law and Chili mention the Western Regions earlier, are we really going?"

"You and Chili don't need to go!"

"Brother! Chili is willing to follow sister-in-law to the death, so why can't I follow you? Besides, if Chili goes with her, what's the point of me staying behind?"

"Row!"

"Hmm? Big brother, won't you go ahead and be polite?"

"We're all brothers, no need to be so polite!"

Hey! I thought you were really touched.

I'm so touched!

"You kept your eyes closed the whole time, how come I didn't see any emotion in you?"

"People are moved in their hearts, how can they show it on their faces? That's too superficial!"

Pang Shiwu lay down, resting his head on his arms. "Anyway, I'm an orphan. The world is vast, but I have no home. Since I have no origin, why should I ask where I'm going? Chili is right. Wherever you go, I'll go too!"

Thank you for your strong support and encouragement from Yudong!
