The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 102 99: The Boss Appears

On the tower,
Seeing the group of people walking away and their figures getting smaller and smaller, one of them loosened his withered hand that was holding the hilt of the sword.

There, a bell fell, making a 'ding-dong' sound, which seemed to break the silence.

A swordsman raised his head slightly, his tattooed face looking extremely ferocious. He asked, "Why don't we kill them in Red Earth City?"

His voice was not loud, but the others seemed to have the same doubt. They did not speak, but their eyes were all focused on the hunchbacked swordsman.

The hunchbacked swordsman only stared at them, and did not rush to answer. Instead, he waited until everyone was almost out of patience before he spoke quietly, "This Red Earth City is related to the casting of weapons and armor, and is extremely important to our Yunya Sword School.

If we start a war here and cause too much damage, it will be difficult to explain.

Besides, don't you think that killing them outside Anyue City, in the middle of the night, in the wilderness, and hanging them under a tree on the mountain path would be a better deterrent?"

A muffled voice sounded: "You guys who are plotting are all filthy. However, if you want to kill them, do it quickly. This mission has delayed our brothers for too long."

The one who spoke was the baby dwarf on the strong man's back, who was holding a dagger and shaving his nails.

The nails were cut to a sharp point, and were coated with poison, giving them a dark blue color.

"But it's just for tonight, it's time to end it."

"hope so."

……

They are looking at others, and others are also looking at him...

In a house at the foot of the city, there was a man slumped lazily on a chair, as if he had no bones in his body and was limp.

He even looked at the top of the city with his eyes squinted and a nonchalant smile on his face.

At the side, the drunkard old man shrugged his nose, took another sip of wine, and said, "Boss, are you really not going to go out and meet Taoist Chu?"

"What are you meeting for? Why do you want to meet?"

"Don't forget the order that Master Zhou gave you."

"Commands, you mean commands?"

The man raised his neck and stared at the drunkard old man, saying in a bad tone: "Do you mean Zhou Wu is superior to me and I must listen to whatever he says?"

The drunken old man was sweating profusely when he was looked at by him, and he could only say: "It's a request, a request!"

"That sounds like something a human would say!"

The man collapsed again, muttered, and said, "Although I can't beat him, don't I have to save face?
Orders, orders, I get annoyed when you say orders!!!"

However, having said that, he added: “Don’t worry, my people are already prepared and have used all the means, these people can’t escape my pursuit.

However, although I promised Zhou Wu to protect his life, I want to see what virtue he has to deserve this position of "worshiper" and be on par with us."

The drunk old man wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the man's wave of his hand. He closed his eyes and refused to speak anymore.

Even at this point, the drunken old man didn't dare to say anything. He looked at the city wall and sighed in his heart.

This is all the elder brother can do. He just hopes that his younger brother can be more alert.

……

Outside the city, on the mountain road.

Chu Zhou turned his head and looked back at Hongtu City. His eyes fixed, as if he saw something from a long distance.

Wei Jinkui rode forward and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Since becoming the outer sect elder of Xuanzhen Temple, Wei Jinkui was unwilling to call Chu Zhou "nephew" anymore, and instead called him "abbot".

Chu Zhou felt awkward at first, but now he is used to it. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something, and then said: "I feel malice, great malice."

Since the "Five Elements Training Internal Organs Method" has approached perfection, the five internal organs have thrived to a certain extent.

Although these things do not seem to provide direct combat power, they are actually related to all aspects of the body's functions. In addition to the five senses, they even form a kind of spiritual perception.

From this distance and angle, Chu Zhou couldn't see the people on the city wall, but the malice was naked and glaring there, as bright as a candle flame.

Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie also came over. They never doubted Chu Zhou's judgment and just asked, "Big Brother, is it what we guessed before?"

“I don’t know, but it’s only a day’s journey from here to Anyue City. If they are going to make a move, it will probably be tonight.

So, everyone stay alert, there might be a fight."

Yi Huai was very excited: "Let's fight, who's afraid of who? I've been looking forward to it for too long."

The spear in Wei Fangjie's hand trembled, making a clanging sound: "Me too."

Wei Jinkui didn't care: "Come if you want."

In any case, when they set out again, the team was much more vigilant, and Chu Zhou no longer stayed in the carriage, but rode on horseback at the front.

He closed his eyes slightly and let the horse go forward, maximizing his perception. Although he could not see anything, everything around him seemed to have clear outlines in his mind.

And this state continued until the evening.

They found a place sheltered from the wind, arranged the carriages in a circle, lit a bonfire, and roasted a caught rabbit over the fire.

Once the various seasonings are sprinkled and licked by the flames, the aroma will waft around.

Then take an iron pot, pour clean water in it, throw the dry food and dried meat in to cook, add some seasonings, and it will become a pot of thick soup.

The taste is certainly not great, but it is quite delicious when eaten on an empty stomach.

Of course, it is impossible to be full with just this little bit of food. A warrior's stomach is not so easy to fill.

So, after the meal, I boiled a pot of water and threw various pills into it, some to replenish qi and some to benefit the blood. After eating some, I felt warm all over.

They were enjoying their meal when they heard rustling sounds coming from the darkness. Yi Huai turned his head and shouted, "Who, come out?"

"A herbalist in the mountains, can I have a bowl of decoction?"

In the darkness, a figure slowly approached. He was not moving fast and seemed to be lame, limping, with his hands raised high so that people could see him. When he got closer, they found that he was a lame young man with a backpack behind him, dressed as a herbalist.

But he had serious injuries on his body, and even with the clothes covering it, you could see the blood stains.

The injuries on his right leg were particularly obvious, with abrasions around the knee, covered with herbs and wrapped casually.

Wei Fangjie looked him up and down and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I went up the mountain to collect herbs and fell down. I was lucky enough to survive."

The young man smiled bitterly: "I smell the aroma of medicine. I will ask for ten thousand without making any comment."

Wei Fangjie did not agree, but looked at Chu Zhou. Seeing him nod slightly, he said, "Then come in."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and moved the barrier between the vehicles, leaving a gap to allow the newcomers to enter the encirclement, and then closed it again.

Yi Huai poured him a bowl of medicine soup and handed it to him: "Drink it!"

The man didn't mind. He held the bowl to his nose, smelled it, said "What a tonic soup" and poured it into his mouth.

After he finished drinking it, his pale face became a little more flushed, sweat seeped out of his forehead, and he looked more energetic.

Handing the bowl back, he put on a smile and was about to say something when Chu Zhou finally spoke.

"I've finished my soup, you can go now!"

He ordered the visitor to leave. The visitor's expression froze, but he still put on a smile and said, "It's a dark and windy night. I'm really scared. Can you let me stay for one night?
With this bonfire and these carriages, we can be a little safer."

Chu Zhou slowly turned his head and looked at the man, just looking him up and down, and said: "The wound on your leg is caused by a scratch, it is not ruled out that you fell from a height, but the wound on your body is not a scratch, but caused by a sword.

It's just that, with your treatment and the help of medication, it should be barely under control.

You have practiced martial arts, so your physique should not be bad, but the backpack on your back is obviously sagging.

It can’t be freshly collected, unprocessed drugs, it can only be some valuables, you need to hide it.”

"It's true that you came to us to ask for medicine, but you didn't just want to ask for medicine, you also wanted to divert the blame."

"So, who are you? What's in your backpack? Who is the person chasing you?"

Chu Zhou's words were very plain, but to this man, they were like thunder in the sky. He quickly stepped back a few steps, clenched his fists in front of him, and made a defensive gesture.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have left a wolf's den and entered a tiger's lair, because the other people were not nervous at all.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

As if thinking of something, the lame young man asked in surprise, "You, are you also the running dogs of the Iron Horse Hall and the Casting Sect?"

"Pfft!"

Beside him, Wei Fangjie was laughing. His smile was not malicious but rather mocking: "You have been scheming against us all along, but now you are acting like you are the victim. How weird!"

Chu Zhou said: "Go!"

"You're willing to let me go?"

"We are not into robbery, and we are not interested in your secrets, so let's go, quickly.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave.”

Chu Zhou's words were still calm, but the man didn't want to leave. He asked, "You are not interested in my identity at all?"

"Not interested, go away!"

Yi Huai stepped forward and tried to drive him away, but the man actually slowly bent down and put the backpack behind him on the ground.

With a 'pop' sound, it seemed as if a lot of weight was lifted.

He then asked: "You are not interested in this either?"

"Now, it's hard for you to leave."

Chu Zhou stood up, but no longer looked at him, but looked outside the carriage.

Then, noisy footsteps were heard, and people holding torches approached quickly. The speed was very fast, and soon a group gathered together.

You can only see clearly when you get closer. These people should be divided into two groups. They are dressed differently, have various weapons, and are very wary of each other.

They didn't react when they saw the carriage and the bonfire, but when their eyes locked on the lame young man and the backpack, their gazes suddenly lit up like torches.

But Chu Zhou did not look at them. They were not in his eyes. Instead, he stepped past them and looked towards the darkness.

"Since you are here, why don't you show yourself?"

In the darkness, a voice sounded: "He found us? How did he find me?"

"Who knows? I thought we hid it well, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!"

"It seems that this person has some skills, no wonder he has such a big name."

"So what? He still has to die in our hands."

In the darkness, footsteps were heard, becoming clearer and clearer, accompanied by the sound of jingle bells.

The sound is crisp and melodious, but also like a death warrant!
The two groups of people who came later seemed to know who this person was. They couldn't suppress the fear in their eyes and moved to both sides trembling all over.

Some of them were so weak in the legs that they could not walk, so they supported themselves with their hands and dragged themselves away from the place.

Then, one, two, three, four people appeared in the darkness and walked into the firelight.

The hunchbacked swordsman who took the lead seemed ordinary, but when the bell on his waist rang, no one dared to say that he was ordinary.

"Blood, blood bell?"
