The Hunted Hunter
Chapter 72. Continuing the Journey to Master Su Tian's Place
After not getting important information from some members of the sect. Finally elder Sim Lan instantly finished off all the group members from the Thousand Poisons sect that was in front of him.
The people who were in the tavern immediately cleaned the corpses of the members of the Thousand Poisons sect lying on the floor of the tavern.
"Master! Missis! For the cost of food and drinks do not need to be paid!." Said the old man who owned the shop.
"Why should it be like that? Nah! We'll keep paying him!." Xia Jiao said with full decisiveness.
"Miss! By expelling them from our village, it has helped us greatly as villagers." Said the old man again.
For some members who had seen the death of the vice-chairman as well as their group leader who was in the village, they immediately fled and planned to report to their higher leadership.
As for the few members who were unaware of it, all of them were annihilated by the Ma Guang group.
Because the day was getting dark, finally the five people stayed at the inn in the village, while being served by the people who were in the village.
After the next day, Ma Guang's entourage immediately bailed and left the village using a horse and also a horse carriage given by the villagers.
Ma Guang rode a horse, while Yuan Gao was the coachman of the horse-drawn carriage in which the three women were.
Their journey still headed west while following the public road which was not too far from the big river on their left.
After traveling for a few hours. Finally they also began to find a village that was bigger than the previous village.
But different from the village they just met, in front of the entrance of the village was seen standing some soldiers wearing sirah clothes from the Qi kingdom.
Upon arriving at the village entrance, a soldier stopped Ma Guang and the horse carriage under Yuan Gao.
"Sorry sirs for interrupting your journey, but as always, we always check on anyone who wants to enter this village." Said the soldier.
"All right! Please just check it out." Ma Guang.
"Master - where are you from and where are you going?." Ask the soldier.
Ma Guang instantly showed the badge of the Yellow Bamboo Sect.
"My name is Ma Guang from the Yellow Bamboo sect." Ma Guang.
"What! Ma Guang!? Is this person who has always been the talk of people - people of the martial world today?." Murmured the soldier.
"All right then! Please young master continue his journey." Say that soldier again.
"Why not do the examination?." Ask Ma Guang.
"There is no need for young master, because the identification marks of the Yellow Bamboo sect are enough to make me decide where the young master came from." Say that soldier again.
Hearing what the soldier said, Ma Guang continued on their way and entered the village.
After walking in for a while, Xia Jiao was already able to recognize an inn that was in the middle of the village.
"Ma Guang's! This is the inn I stopped at first." Xia Jiao.
"Did Miss Xia feel confident?." Ask Ma Guang.
"Yes! I'm so sure." Xia Jiao.
"Then, it means that Miss Xia has already remembered the way back to the village where we were attacked first!?." Ask Ma Guang.
"Yes! I've remembered the way now." Xia Jiao.
Finally they continued their journey, after finding a fork in the road that one of them leads north. Xia Jiao immediately made a sound to direct them to take the road that was heading towards the north.
Ma Guang and also Yuan Gao directly followed Xia Jiao's orders.
The village saw so many soldiers standing guard to protect it. This is because, the village is the main route of the Qi kingdom to go to the territory of the Zhao kingdom or the Yan kingdom if by land.
The sight felt strange, because the guarding the horse carriage was only a young man.
And for the uncertain situation because there had been upheaval in various regions of the kingdom in the Zhou empire so that it became impossible, he said, there is a horse carriage that is only escorted by a swordsman and can calmly travel.
A commander who saw that too, immediately approached Ma Guang with a horse on his back.
"Greetings to the young swordsman!." Said the commander when he was near Ma Guang.
"Greetings to the commander-in-chief too!." Reply Ma Guang while cupping his hands because he can recognize the sirah clothes used by the man in front of him.
"If I may know, who am I talking to and who is from which sect!?." Ask the commander.
"My name is Ma Guang and I am from the Yellow Bamboo sect!." Said Ma Guang while presenting the identification marks of his sect.
"What's!? Ma Guang!? It turned out that this young man was the one who had always been the subject of the martial world! Patasen they're too leisurely enjoying their trip." The commander murmured in his heart.
"It turns out that the young swordsman is the warrior Ma who is very electrifying the martial world! Introduce me commander of Xin Jung's hundredth army!." Said the man while cupping his hands.
Ma Guang immediately responded as well by cupping his hands.
"Where is Ma's swordsman's current goal?." Ask commander.
"I want to pay a visit to My teacher who lives in the northern part of our kingdom." Ma Guang.
"Oh, like that yeah!?." Said the commander while thinking about what sect was in the north of their kingdom.
After a long thought, the commander finally could not find if there was a sect in the northern region of the place.
"My teacher is a free swordsman, so he has no sect." Ma Guang's words melted the awkward situation.
Finally the commander understood the situation.
After arriving at the village door, the commander stopped and let Ma Guang and a horse-drawn carriage continue their journey.
"May arrive at the destination safely, and may Ma's swordsman always be careful when in the middle of the journey." Said the commander.
Hearing what commander Xin Jung said, Ma Guang simply smiled and cupped her hands together.
Xia Jiao immediately opened the curtain of the horse carriage cover. The girl started to see the atmosphere of the area she had been through before.
After a few hours, they finally found a village again, and in this village exactly like the previous village, which was seen there were some soldiers who were guarding at the entrance of the village.
They also get an examination, but the same thing happened when Ma Guang told him his name and also showed the identification of his sect.
Finally they continued their journey, until they arrived at an inn that was already known by Ma Guang.
The young man immediately stopped his horse and immediately went down and immediately tethered his horse to the place that had been provided.
Yuan Gao also stopped his carriage.
Ma Guang immediately invited the three of them to come down and also told Yuan Gao to give the horse carriage to one of the people in the place who was special to take care of every visitor's horse in that place.
The five of them entered the inn, which also prepared food and drinks for visitors.
Ma Guang's eyes immediately turned towards the cashier's desk and immediately saw the cashier's face.
Ma Guang immediately remembered the man's face.
"Oh, apparently this old man is still in this place as well huh!?." Mumbles Ma Guang.
"Miss Xia, elder Sim Lan, uncle Yuan Gao and also miss Yuan. You all have to be careful, because the cashier who used to trap us in this inn was an old man who was at the cashier's desk at this time." Ma Guang said in a whisper.
