The Hunted Hunter
Chapter 22. The Haddang Robbers
The location of the Yellow Bamboo sect was in the territory of the Qi kingdom which was only 20 kilometers from the sea.
While the location of the Peach Flower sect in the Wei royal region, and that means its position is to the west of the Yellow Bamboo sect.
The two sects would walk to the southwestern direction where the Imperial capital was located.
The representative envoys from their respective sects, finally embarked on a journey to head to the Imperial capital.
From the Yellow Bamboo sect there were four people in the entourage, namely Sect Chief Yao Han, first elder Ying Zhao, Duan Jun and also Ma Guang.
Patriarch Yao Han himself led his vault to go to the Imperial capital, as he also wanted to meet Emperor Zhou Muwang.
They traveled by horse, in order to reach the Imperial capital, it would take only a few days, because if the journey was done on foot, it would take up to 12 days.
After a full day of traveling, they finally arrived at a village, and as it was getting dark, they would rest before continuing their journey.
" Welcome, sir...!!! Can I help you...???." Said the innkeeper, welcoming the four people who entered.
" Is there still 3 rooms left for us...???." Patriarch Yao Han said in response to the servant's question.
" There is still a master. If you want to order it, please pay at the cashier the rent fee first." Said the waiter while directing his hands and gaze towards where the cashier was.
" Please sir - sir." Said the waiter again as he walked leading the four of them to head towards the cashier.
" All right." Patriarch Speaks.
They followed the waiter to the cashier.
After paying the room rental fee, they are then transferred to the room that has been rented.
The inn was also the one that Xia Jiao had used to stay.
Patriarch and elder Ying Zhao each occupied one room, so the remaining one was used by Ma Guang and Duan Jun.
In the morning, the group continued their journey again.
Not long after, they had arrived at one more village.
After being right in front of an inn, Ma Guang was again able to remember exactly that.
He stopped his horse and immediately jumped down.
The patriarch and the two others immediately stopped their horses as well and immediately turned to look towards Ma Guang.
" What will the boy do." The Patriarch murmured in his heart.
" Hey, Ma Guang...!!! What do you want to do...???." Duan Jun's words preceded the two old men who also wanted to know what the teenager would do.
The 16-year-old teenager immediately moved into the inn.
After arriving inside the inn, Ma Guang's eyes immediately looked towards the cashier's table.
But the face of the person at the checkout, was no longer the same person's face, when he and Xia Jiao stopped by the inn first.
" welcome young master. Can I help you...???." The servant greeted Ma Guang's arrival.
Ma Guang remained silent and did not respond to what the maid asked.
The teenager continued to step towards the cashier table.
" Old man..Where is the cashier guarding this place...???." Said Ma Guang asking the person who was at the cashier in a hostile tone.
" I'm the cashier at this inn." Said the man responding to the youngster's question in front of him.
" No, you're not the one I'm looking for." Ma Guang responded to the reply from the cashier.
" About seven months ago, I used to stay at this place, so I met that person." Said Ma Guang again.
" I'm sorry young master, but about seven months ago, it was indeed My inn that I had always looked after, and it had lasted quite a long time." Answer the man.
" Well then, I'll excuse you." Ma Guang said as he turned around and walked away from the place.
As he stepped out, Ma Guang saw that the three people who were with him were already standing in front of the entrance of the inn with an all-seeing look.
" Who are you looking for...???." Patriarch Speaks.
" The one who made me part with someone." Said Ma Guang with a face full of emotion.
" You must control your emotions." Said the Patriarch as he walked towards their respective horses.
" Good Patriarch.the disciple will do all he can." Said Ma Guang in an already normal tone of voice.
" Pupil apologized for causing the Patriarch and the others to feel annoyed by what the disciple did." He continued, saluting.
" Let's just continue our journey." Say Patriarch again.
They finally resumed their journey.
After traveling for several hours, they finally arrived at the outskirts of a large and dense forest.
When they arrived in the forest filled with big trees, without them noticing, there were several pairs of eyes watching the four of them.
A while later, several arrows shot towards the four of them.
" Beware there's an attack." Patriarch Speaks.
Finally the other three people instantly sharpened their respective perceptions, so they jumped up to avoid and repel any attacks of arrows that attacked them.
But not with their mounts.
The four mounts immediately ran and soon collapsed.
The four of them then formed a formation facing each other to the four corners of the wind while pulling out their respective swords as well as the Patriarch who prepared his spear .
Aftershocks continued to arrive towards those who were also directly harassed by the four of them.
After a while, several figures began to appear from among the trees.
" Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. It seems that it is not easy to also paralyze this group of yours." Speak to the leader of the group.
" Who are you...??? Why attack and obstruct our journey...!!!???." Patriarch Speaks.
" You don't need to know who we are. Quickly give up and hand over all the things you brought." Said the leader of the group.
" If you can, come and get it yourself." Patriarch Speaks.
" Well, then, prepare to die." Say that guy again.
" Seraaaannnng...!!! Said the man commanding the people who were behind him.
Hearing the order, they simultaneously ran to attack the four people.
Trends.treng..treng...treng.
The sound of swords clashing against each other.
The strength of the lowest attacking group was at the 5th to 9th level of the late early stage swordsmen who numbered 16 people and 2 peak level expert warriors who were a little more becoming the king swordsman and the 2 middle-tier expert warriors as well as their leaders were at the late middle-stage king swordsman who had slightly reached the peak stage master swordsman.
The patriarch instantly welcomed any attacks from the group and quickly incapacitated the three of them.
While elder Ying Zhao was also doing the same with their Patriarch.
Unlike Ma Guang, he still remains relaxed in the face of attacks from these people and has also killed three of them by separating the head from their respective bodies.
