Chapter 84 The Road Ahead

Traveling a carriage on a mountain road is quite troublesome, since the mountain road is just a small path worn out by bandits and outlaws over the years, and the carriage can easily overturn if one is not careful.

So the group walked very slowly.

We had to stop and rest every now and then.

After a while, the carriage stopped again, in front of a dense forest halfway up an unnamed hill.

The soldiers sat casually on the ground, their postures varied, and they appeared relaxed and unhurried, but in reality, each of them had someone watching over them from all sides, so they could get up and fight at any time should anything happen.

Du Zhong looked at the state of his men and felt satisfied.

"Father, where is Guang-ge?"

Du Zhao soaked the dried meat in water and stirred it constantly with a clean wooden stick so that the dried meat would turn into shreds in the water, making it easier to eat.

Du Zhong glanced at the young girl, feeling quite jealous. "Are you in such a hurry to get married?"

"Dad~"

"I discussed some things with the Li family this afternoon, and then I don't know what I was doing in the carriage. Half an hour ago, I said that I had gained some insights into martial arts and wanted to go out and try them out."

Du Zhong spoke casually, but his tone carried a hint of pride, as if Xu Guang's understanding was his own.

Although Wu Yunmiao had not practiced martial arts much, she had been exposed to martial arts manuals since childhood and had a deep understanding of martial arts.

I couldn't help but think of the thing that martial artists dream of—enlightenment.

"A sudden realization?"

She couldn't help but whisper.

No wonder Xu Guang's cultivation level improved so quickly; it was an epiphany! Something that only martial arts legends and tales of the Jianghu could possibly happen.

Could it be—

She couldn't help but think that Xu Guang seemed more reliable than she had imagined.

Before long, I will be able to help myself find my parents.

The point is—why should he help me when I'm still relying on him for food and survival?

Thinking of this, she recalled her previous thoughts and her gaze unconsciously fell on Du Zhao.

"Shouldn't that require Youniang's consent?"

She thought to herself with a touch of shyness.

Upon hearing Wu Yunmiao's words, Xu Cheng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He found it hard to believe, but considering Xu Guang's current strength, this sudden enlightenment must be as trivial as eating and drinking for his cousin to achieve such a level in such a short time.

It seems that suppressing my cousin by force won't be an easy task. Fortunately, I, Xu Cheng, have studied for over ten years and am now the prospective leader of the Tianmen Sect.

Once I return to the Tianmen Sect, I will go into seclusion and wait until I become the sect leader before making a name for myself!

Thinking of Xu Guang's stunned expression because of his identity, Xu Cheng couldn't help but grin behind his ears.

"Xu Cheng, you're drooling."

Du Zhao suddenly spoke up.

The direct descendants of the Li family gathered in front of a carriage, with the family's retainers standing guard to prevent their conversation from being overheard.

The second master of the Li family looked at Li Zhen, his eyes glancing at the casually seated soldiers, a hint of distrust appearing in his eyes. "Brother, are we really all going to listen to that Xu Guang? He doesn't seem to be in a hurry to leave Shuofang Prefecture. I have a feeling that following him will bring a lot of trouble along the way."

Before Li Zhen could speak, Li Qian spoke up.

"Father, our Li family is a target of envy and suspicion. Sun Ganxuan will definitely not let us off the hook. In this world, it's not about numbers anymore. You've seen the strength of the experts in Night Wind. How much of a chance do you think we have of escaping if we encounter them?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Li family fell silent.

What impressed them most about the fall of Shuocheng was truly understanding the influence of top masters on the situation and the war.

In the past, wars were fought based on multiple factors, including numbers, ruthlessness, equipment, and supplies.

But now, it's all about the real masters.

"We have an uncle, so we don't need to—"

Before one of Li Qian's cousins ​​could finish speaking, his great-uncle, on whom he had placed high hopes, said, "Don't count on me. My internal energy is damaged, and I've lost more than 50% of my blood and qi. It won't be able to recover in a short time."

These words shocked everyone.

"Grand Uncle, you—"

Their great-uncle was the Li family's true trump card, but they never expected him to be in such poor condition.

Uncle Li gave a wry smile. "The Sixth Realm Qi looks impressive, but to be honest, even in my prime, I wouldn't be a match for someone at the same realm of Talismanic Arts. Not to mention, you all witnessed Yang Shu's abilities; I didn't hold back at all..."

grip."

As they spoke, the group recalled the despair they felt when facing Yang Shu. If they hadn't been lucky enough to capture a snow weasel alive with medicine, and if Xu Guang hadn't intervened in time, they might not have been able to leave Shuocheng alive.

He then recalled the methods Xu Guang used to kill Yang Shu.

"Grand Uncle, is that Xu Guang also a master of Taoist magic?"

Upon hearing this, a strange light appeared in Li's eyes. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly, "It shouldn't be."

He paused, his expression becoming even more complex, a mixture of envy and obvious jealousy.

"He is a true genius, and I suspect he has mastered a technique that is comparable to the Dao of Talismans."

"really?"

Even Li Zhen, who hadn't spoken until now, couldn't help but ask.

Previously, his uncle was not in good condition and only told him to befriend Xu Guang at all costs.

He naturally obeyed his uncle's instructions, and he already valued Xu Guang enough, otherwise he would not have handed over the family heirloom dragon pearl to him. But he still did not expect that his uncle would have such a high opinion of Xu Guang.

Li Qian's feelings were the most complicated. He thought back to how he had been drinking with Xu Guang just a few months ago, planning to bring him under his command. Now, it all seemed like a joke.

Just then.

A strange roar suddenly exploded in the forest. It was not the loud roar of an ordinary beast, but a sound that was not loud, but extremely penetrating, with a suppressive quality that instilled fear in people from the very bones.

In the distant mountains and forests, suddenly flocks of birds took flight, and countless beasts roared in fury.

"That Xu Guang has gotten stronger again."

A night breeze swept in, and the campfire roared.

Xu Guang sat by the campfire, with Du Zhao and Wu Yunmiao beside him. He reached out to help the two women grill the meat.

His gaze was somewhat unfocused.

He never expected that the Level 6 Dragon Taming Technique would be like this.

The effect wasn't very strong; it was barely acceptable.

But then an idea suddenly popped into his head.

With this ability, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to impersonate a demon and infiltrate them, right?

Shuofang City is the largest city in Shuofang Prefecture and its center. In terms of economy, population, and military strength, it is undoubtedly the number one city in Shuofang Prefecture.

The Marshal's Mansion.

A night breeze swept in.

In a room lit with countless candles, Sun Ganxuan looked at the document in his hand.

As he flipped through the pages, his expression gradually turned grim.

So many people managed to escape from Shuocheng!

Tang Qiuyao is truly a good-for-nothing.

Moreover, Wu Daoren, whom he originally planned to spend a lot of money to win back, and Yang Shu, whom Tang Qiuyao had high hopes for, were both dead!

The killer is the same person.

A name he had never heard of before today.

Xu Guang.

Where did this person come from?
