I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1991 Misunderstanding
"The strange mount that those people who left rode was shaped like a three-legged toad. It was called the Starry Sky Beast, and its speed was so fast that even flying magic weapons could not match it. An adult Starry Sky Beast is said to be able to enter the turbulence of space and shuttle back and forth. As long as it wants, those birdmen chasing after it will never be able to catch up with it even if they spend their entire lives." Chen Manni explained softly, painting with her brush in her hand.

After a while, the painting seemed to be finished, and Chen Manni continued, "If we don't tell the truth, we will die. I don't care. Several great medical saints have sentenced me to death. I can only live for a few months at most. But what about you? You still have a good time, unfulfilled dreams and concerns."

After saying that, Chen Manni sighed softly, her eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, as if looking for some kind of answer. However, she didn't find it in the end, so she could only shake her head helplessly and turned back to her carriage.

Inside the carriage, Chen Manni's hands were still shaking slightly. Although she tried hard to control her emotions, the fear and helplessness that surged from the bottom of her heart were difficult to conceal.

After all, she was a weak woman without any cultivation. When she faced several murderous six-winged princes just now, her heart was filled with fear. If she hadn't kept telling herself not to be afraid and not to retreat, she would have collapsed to the ground out of fear.

At this moment, the night outside the carriage became darker and darker, as if even the stars were dimmed. Chen Manni sat quietly in the carriage, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She thought that if she had another choice, if there weren't so many innocent people around, she might choose to fight these Eden messengers head-on.

After all, she had very little time left, and it was no more than a matter of time before she died. But when she thought about the innocent people who might be hurt by her impulse, she couldn't just sit back and watch.

The night wind blew gently across Chen Manni's face through the gap in the car window, bringing a hint of coolness and endless sorrow. She knew that she was about to reach the end of her life, feeling a little helpless, a little confused, and a little sad.

At this moment, a small green figure suddenly appeared in the dim carriage, as if a touch of unexpected vitality broke the original silence.

Chen Manni was stunned. Her eyes were instantly attracted by the sudden appearance of the human-shaped cactus. Her face was filled with disbelief and surprise. This little cactus actually had a human form. Although it was small, its facial features were clear and its eyes were lively. It was looking at her with an inexplicable expression.

The little cactus slowly stretched out a slender arm and handed a simple wooden box to Chen Manni. The surface of the wooden box was carved with complicated totems, emitting a faint fluorescence, which looked mysterious.

Chen Manni frowned, her heart full of curiosity. After hesitating for a moment, she finally reached out and gently took the wooden box. The moment her fingers touched the wooden box, she felt a warm touch, which made her tremble slightly.

She carefully opened the wooden box and saw a round pill lying quietly inside, emitting a faint fragrance. Next to the pill was a neatly folded piece of paper.

Chen Manni picked up the paper curiously and unfolded it gently. She saw three big characters written in vigorous handwriting on the paper - Donglai Port. These three characters seemed to contain some special power, which made her heart surge with an inexplicable throbbing.

"Donglai Port? What does this mean? His Royal Highness the Holy Son asked you to give it to me?" Chen Manni looked up at the little cactus, her eyes full of confusion and inquiry.

The little cactus nodded gently, confirming Chen Manni's guess in its own unique way.

However, when the name Donglai Port flashed through Chen Manni's mind, her face suddenly changed. She seemed to have thought of something terrible, and a trace of fear and uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

"Not good! If the Holy Son stays in Donglai Port, that group of people will definitely catch up with him!" Chen Manni's voice trembled slightly. She tightly grasped the wooden box and the note in her hands, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

"Captain of the guard, abandon the cargo, set off immediately, and send me to Qingzhou City!" Chen Manni's voice was filled with unprecedented urgency.

She pressed herself against the carriage window, her bright eyes flashing with unquestionable determination, and shouted outside the carriage.

When the caravan members and guards outside the carriage heard this sudden order, they all looked at each other in shock.

It was already late at night, a good time for the caravan to rest and recuperate, but now they had to travel in the darkness, which undoubtedly increased the danger. Moreover, they had to abandon those priceless goods, which was an incredible decision for a caravan that made a living from goods.

"Miss Chen, this is..." A member of the caravan hesitated and looked at the figure in the carriage with confusion on his face.

The captain of the guard has known Chen Manni for some time. In his impression, Chen Manni is always gentle and well-behaved. He has never seen her lose her composure like this.

He knew very well that behind such anxious shouts, there must be some imminent crisis hidden.

"Give me ten men, get on your horses, and set off for Qingzhou City!" The captain of the guard did not ask too many questions, but gave decisive orders.

Although the guards were still confused, they reacted quickly to the military order, stood up, mounted their horses, and prepared to set off.

"Let's go!" Zhao Lei's order was like a thunder in the night sky. Ten guards plus him, a total of eleven people, protected Chen Manni's carriage, and rushed towards Qingzhou City like an arrow from a bow.

Without the heavy cargo encumbering them, the carriage's speed increased to its maximum. The sound of horse hooves was like the beating of war drums, raising clouds of dust and drawing long tracks in the night sky.

The guards whipped their horses, completely disregarding the horses' fatigue and life and death, and only wanted to get Chen Manni to a safe place as soon as possible.

In the night, the torches of the caravan gradually faded away, leaving only the group of them galloping in the darkness. Chen Manni tightly grasped the armrests in the carriage, looking forward with a firm gaze, silently reciting in her heart: "Qingzhou City, we must get to Qingzhou City as soon as possible!"

On the way, the captain of the escort looked back at Chen Manni in the carriage from time to time, his eyes full of worry and confusion. But he knew that now was not the time to ask, and only by rushing to Qingzhou City as soon as possible could he find out the reason why Chen Manni did all this.

At this time, Liu Jun and his group had already jumped down from the broad and solid back of the Star Beast. The feeling of being grounded made them take a deep breath of the cool night air. They walked at a leisurely pace, along a winding path, slowly moving towards the direction of Qingzhou City.

Every step seemed to bring a sense of relief, as if the previous tension and danger were just a passing cloud.

"That feeling has disappeared. It seems that the birdman Eight-Winged Feather Emperor did not chase us." There was a hint of relief in Liu Jun's tone.

He really didn't want to fight against the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor again. The gap in strength was too great. Of course, if he became powerful in the future, he would have to go back and kill him.

"Well, I no longer have that feeling that danger is coming." Yao Guangxiao echoed.

As the two people with the sharpest perception in the team, they had sensed the frightening and dangerous aura at the same time before, and the calmness at this moment undoubtedly made them all feel relieved.

"That's good. I was scared to death." The tiger-striped sturdy man patted his chest. The nervous look on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a simple smile.

"Hey? Is Qingzhou City just ahead?" The fat man suddenly stopped and stared ahead with wide eyes.

The ancient city looked particularly magnificent under the moonlight, as if it were an indestructible fortress.

"Oh my goodness, this is Qingzhou City? It's so huge!" The tiger-striped man looked up at the towering city wall, his eyes full of admiration. The city wall was winding like a giant dragon, tightly wrapping the entire city, looking majestic.

"Indeed, although it is not as magnificent as the God King City, it is several times larger than the Thousand Feather City of those birdmen." The ape man next to him crossed his arms and echoed the strong man's words.

The fat man scratched his head and frowned slightly: "But why do I feel like there is a murderous aura in this city? It's weird."

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao shook his head slightly and explained, "These people are either Skyfire soldiers or their families. They live in this kind of fighting environment all year round, so it's normal for them to have a murderous aura. Don't worry too much."

Qingzhou City, although it is called a city, is actually more like an oversized fortress. Most of the residents in the city are soldiers from Qingzhou City or their families. There are almost no outsiders here, only some merchants occasionally come here, bringing all kinds of goods to trade here.

"Let's go, don't just stand here stupidly, let's go find a place to stay first," Liu Jun called out to everyone.

The main thing is that Qingzhou City was built by the sea. If you want to go to Donglai Port, you must enter Qingzhou City.

However, what he didn't expect was that Qingzhou City actually had a curfew. It was already late at night, the city gates were closed, and the guards stood on both sides with long guns in hand, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

"What should I do?" Liu Jun frowned and looked at the closed city gate, feeling helpless.

The main reason is that Qingzhou City may be a military fortress. Like the Shenwang City, it also has a no-fly formation, so it is impossible to fly in.

"Let's find a place to rest first. It won't be too late to go into the city after dawn." Yao Guangxiao pointed to the bonfire not far away.

There were several carriages gathered there, which had obviously missed the closing time of the city gates and could not get in, so they could only stay outside the city.

So, the group found an open space not far from the city gate and built a fire.

As the night deepened, the lights in Qingzhou City gradually went out, only the torches on the city walls were still burning, illuminating this huge fortress.

Outside the city, Liu Jun and his companions were quietly waiting for the city gate to open at dawn in the silent night.

At this moment, a sudden hurricane blew over with wild power, instantly making the atmosphere of the entire Qingzhou city solemn.

On the city wall, lights were quickly lit up under the hurricane, illuminating the entire city wall as if it were daytime.

At the same time, several large crossbows were quickly operated by the soldiers and instantly aimed at the huge, fully-winged flying beasts outside the city, reacting extremely quickly.

"I am Wei Bai, the Six-Winged Prince of Qianyu City. Don't misunderstand me!" Prince Wei Bai, standing on the back of the Flying Beast, shouted loudly.

His voice was full of majesty, mixed with a hint of helplessness that he didn't want to conflict with. Although as the Six-Winged Prince of Qianyu City, he possessed great strength and confidence, the threatening aura emitted by these giant crossbows still forced him to act with caution.

Moreover, he really didn't want to provoke the elite army in Qingzhou City for no reason. If he really confronted the army in Qingzhou City, even if the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor came in person, he would probably have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge. After all, this was the territory of Qingzhou City, and they had the advantage of time, place and people.

Under the city wall, Liu Jun's face looked a little ugly. He originally thought that he had gotten rid of the birdmen's pursuit, but he didn't expect that they would chase him so persistently.
