The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 413: Louhu Town
The convoy of dozens of people was extremely cautious when passing through the extremely desolate forest area. Many unexpected things here, there was once a large army that was escorting supplies from the big city and sending them to the border, but the troops never returned again.
When traced, it turns out that the troops were killed without leaving anyone to survive. Their corpses were left to rot in the forest area, weapons were still piercing and many blood spots were scattered everywhere.
Although the superior already knew that the troops had been ambushed, but it was quite strange because the battle arena was not on the main road, but in the deepest forest area.
Unless there is a spy who deliberately brought the entire army into the forest to rest, then ambushed and the escape path has been closed, so that it can only give one option—in more deeply!
But, it was all for nothing. There was already a force waiting within the deepest forest, and finally the official troops sent to the border were killed. All resources were taken away, and the border wars suffered a crushing defeat.
Eventually, one of the cities on the border was successfully taken away from them by another kingdom.
This made the King very angry, and issued a contest to find spies or at least provide information about the underground organization that ambushed the troops. Many gave the information out of being tempted by the promised reward, but after doing the checking, everything was fake, it made the King even more angry.
...
"Make sure our luggage is safe! Even if we have to die, we must not fail in our mission!"
The leader of the convoy who wore clothes was better than the others: armor made between a combination of metal and animal skin. Carrying a sword on his right waist, and there was a bow on his back. Her hair was black, wearing a brown bandana. He was riding a black horse, the size was even larger than a horse in general.
He was originally a member of the military, but now opens up mercenaries who are specialized in escorting goods. Before he was reluctant to leave the military, everything was guaranteed, but due to his injuries, he had to resign.
"Chairman! Look over there!"
Xing Yao, who was bowing her head, looked up when she heard her subordinates. He narrowed his eyes, and saw that there were four people standing by the side of the road. "All brothers! Be careful!"
Dozens of others, starting to wield swords at each other's waists, prepared to attack if the four people in front of them were dangerous. Even if the four people in front looked weak, they had to be careful, better off being on standby than getting killed.
Second Brother, Ye Yao, stood on top of the carriage. He was already getting ready with his bow and only needed to receive the order to release the arrow shot. But even so, his hands were already itching and wanted to attack. "Chairman, shall?"
Xing Yao shook her head and said firmly, "Don't! We don't know the other party, what if they're hidden experts?"
Ye Yao snorted and could not help but laugh. Hidden expert? Ye Yao did not believe that, even if the four people were hidden experts, their appearances were inconclusive. "They look no more than thirty years old, where perhaps they are hidden experts."
Xing Yao, despite not believing what she said herself, but she remained cautious. There are many strange things in the world, and there is said to be a strong Swordsman who looks young, but is almost a century old. He himself did not believe it, but what told him was his grandfather, so he kept that in mind and was always careful, never underestimating the enemy or anyone else.
Xing Yao who was in the lead, left first and stopped a few meters in front of the four people who were blocking the way. "What do you guys want to do? Why are you blocking us?"
Mo Lian smiled faintly upon hearing that. "I want to ask for help."
Xing Yao frowned, looking at Mo Lian, then the three women who were behind her. "What can we help you with?"
Although Xing Yao looked friendly, but she was very careful. Even if the person in front of him brought the woman to look for concern for him, he would not fall into a trap.
The usually calm Qin Nian, when reading Xing Yao's thoughts, couldn't hold back any longer. It was eager to step forward and slap Xing Yao's head.
"We want to join your convoy, we'll stop in town. Relax, we'll pay for it." Mo Lian smiled faintly, taking out a cloth bag filled with money. "By the way, how long does it take to get to town?"
Xing Yao did not pay attention to the money bag, but rather looked at Mo Lian, as if she was knowing the deepest part; whether it was good or bad.
Mo Lian remained silent and smiled, waiting for Xing Yao to finish.
At that moment, the convoy finally arrived and stopped behind Xing Yao. Ye Yao, who was on top of the carriage, jumped down, her attention fixed on the three beautiful women behind Mo Lian. His eyes revealed greed and passion.
"We could have brought you. But, you know—"
"Shut up!" Xing Yao turned her head back and glared at Ye Yao. Although he considered Ye Yao a brother and acknowledged her abilities, he still hated Ye Yao who was like this. If they didn't swear to be brothers, he was eager to behead Ye Yao.
Ye Yao was stunned, then coldly snorted as she turned around. There was a cold glint in his eyes while planning to do something to the three beautiful women.
Xing Yao looked back at Mo Lian. "Three months on foot. Using horses about seven to ten days, and since we brought supplies, at least two weeks."
Mo Lian's smile froze when she found out that it still took quite a long time. Two weeks just to travel 3,356 miles, that's too slow. Even with its slowest running speed, it only needed to take two hours.
"Three of you, go first. Just run, don't hurry."
"""Well, Honey/Nan Ren."""
After Hong Xi Ning, Qin Nian and Yun Ning replied, the three of them immediately ran following the path. Their speed was like the speed of sound, it instantly disappeared from sight. The wind blew like a storm, blowing leaves and making thick dust.
Xing Yao, Ye Yao and the others, were stunned with wide eyes.
Mo Lian looked at everyone in front of her. "Forget what you just saw and heard."
In that instant, everyone's eyes slightly shone in blue. Then they looked dazed, like silly fools.
When he saw that the memories of everyone in front of him had been erased, Mo Lian disappeared in the void of air and chased after his wives.
Mo Lian turned to look at Hong Xi Ning. "You complaining? The cold and calm Ning'er complained?" He was a little surprised, as indeed Hong Xi Ning had never complained.
Hong Xi Ning was stunned, then lowered her head; her face was red like a tomato.
Mo Lian smiled faintly and shook her head. And then look at the road in front of him. "From the beginning, I intend to live like an ordinary human just after we enter this star. But, it turns out we've had a hard time. Two weeks to travel, isn't my life just on the road?"
Hong Xi Ning and Qin Nian nodded their heads
Yun Ning gave a small nod, then thinking about the convoy just now, he clucked and complained, "Their strength is too low. If they escorted the supplies with such force, it was certain that they would be killed ..."
Yun Ning was silent for a moment when suddenly an idea flinched in his mind. "Honey, may I train people while building a company in the city?"
Mo Lian was silent for a moment. It is not a good idea to train people here, when the working system in this world is different from the others. But, it is true that building an escort company should have strong and skilled workers.
Mo Lian turned her head, seeing how wanted Yun Ning was, she could only give up. "Alright, but don't train them to be a cultivator. To train them, you can discuss with Ning'er, she Matriak for thousands of years, she is very experienced."
Hong Xi Ning who heard it, was not happy that it was considered experienced, but was very upset and there was a trace of anger in her eyes. Although not directly, but in Mo Lian's words earlier explained that she was very old.
Qin Nian and Yun Ning looked at Hong Xi Ning, then looked at each other and wished Mo Lian had not gotten a punch.
Hong Xi Ning raised her hand ready to slap Mo Lian's back, but held her back. He sighed, and said, "Hold, hold, hold. He's your husband."
Mo Lian shuddered, feeling the fine feathers on her body stand up. When she turned her head to look at Hong Xi Ning, she could feel there was a trace of anger that was beginning to subside. He was stunned, then smacked his lips softly.
It has been often recalled, but he has always discussed age in the presence of women, and now offends his own wife.
Therefore, Mo Lian decided to remain silent, and let her wives speak for themselves behind her.
...
After running for quite a long time, finally the group of four people could already see the city with walls as high as twenty meters. The walls made of natural stone were black, and the entrance gates were made of medium-quality metal, they were bronze in color, but not bronze.
The top there is a black signpost that says “ ⁇ ” or “Louhu” in gold.
Yun Ning who saw the name of the city, inevitably asked, "Why is every city we come to, despite being in a different galaxy, having the same writing? Why doesn't anyone use an alphabet, or a different letter?"
Mo Lian fell silent, she herself had already thought about it, and until now had not known about it.
Hong Xi Ning opened his mouth, then closed it again. There was a doubt, he himself did not know whether this information he got was right or wrong.
Qin Nian frowned when he saw the hesitant Hong Xi Ning. "What's wrong? Do you know?"
Mo Lian and Yun Ning turned their heads towards Hong Xi Ning when they heard him.
Hong Xi Ning looked at the three of them, and finally gave up. "I don't know if this is true or not, I once got a piece of paper from the Battlefield. There's a little bit of information in it, and that information is just about language."
"I don't know millions or tens of millions of years ago. But, the piece of paper told him that there was a very strong man, he was from the Blue Planet. He brought glory to mankind, circumnavigated the four regions and taught everyone about language and cultivation. What purpose? No explanation for his purpose."
Mo Lian frowned, then asked for the paper in question.
Hong Xi Ning directly handed it over without hesitation.
When Mo Lian received it, she saw the same letters on the golden paper. The paper was burning and contained a power he did not understand. The information here was just like Hong Xi Ning said.
Mo Lian turned it around, there was no other information. "Maybe there's still paper like this out there. And given what Yue Fu said, perhaps this powerful human was connected to the Celestial Realm which cut off the energy supply to the Universe."
It's just speculation, but the odds are really high.
"Do we need to find him?" ask Hong Xi Ning.
Mo Lian pondered, then shook her head. Finding paper like this throughout the Universe is very difficult, it takes time not knowing until when. Only fate can bring him together.
"No, we better do what we've planned."
The three looked at each other, then nodded their heads.
After that, the four of them continued on foot. Connect with people outside the city.
