A red-robed, long-legged woman with a trident on her back walked out. She sized Mo Wuji up before saying, "May I ask where this friend is going?"
Her clothes were stained with blood, and there were a few scabs around her neck. It seemed that she had been through a lot of fights along the way.
Mo Wuji answered, "I want to go to Wu Xue Prefecture. Do you know the direction?"
The woman pointed to the east, "Follow this way, keep moving forward, and you will reach Qian Tai State. Once you arrive at Qian Tai State, you can go anywhere you want. Maps and beast carriages will be provided. "
"May I ask where this place is?" Mo Wuji asked again.
The woman pointed to the west, "That way is the territory of Featherlight State. This place is between Qian Tai State and Yu Guang State, it's called the Sick Woods Plain. "
This woman seemed to be very familiar with her surroundings. Moreover, she was from a mercenary organisation. Mo Wuji's heart pounded as he asked, "May I ask if you know of a place called Wu Xue Prefecture?"
"I have." The woman's answer was extremely simple.
"I heard that Wu Xue Prefecture Country has a gang of horse bandits called the Black Tailed Hornets. Do you know of this gang?" Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. The Black Tailed Bees had killed Jing Lengbei's entire family. It was said that they were hiding in the Wu Xue Prefecture Country.
Jing Lengbei, Lady Thirteen and Mo Xiangtong were all together. If they wanted revenge, they would definitely go to Wu Xue Prefecture to look for the Black Tailed Bees.
"I don't know …" The woman snorted and turned to leave. Her expression was no longer as calm as before. After the woman left, there were still a few people staring at Mo Wuji warily.
Mo Wuji immediately knew that this woman definitely had something to do with the Black Tailed Bees. Otherwise, she wouldn't have such an attitude.
"This person knows the Black Tailed Bee, should we get rid of him?" Even though Mo Wuji did not follow them, he could already hear people whispering in the distance. Mo Wuji had spiritual will and was much stronger than the other party. Even though the other party's voice was very soft, it did not escape Mo Wuji's ears.
"There's no need to complicate matters. This person is called the Black Tailed Bee Bandit. He shouldn't be in the same group," someone whispered.
"Hmph, the Black Tailed Hornets were originally mounted bandits."
From their discussion, Mo Wuji could tell that this group of people had a feud with the Black Tailed Bees.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to step forward and explain that he had a feud with the Black Tailed Wasps, he heard the sound of hoofbeats.
"Enemy attack!" A sharp shout came from afar. Following that, two people on horseback quickly rushed over. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of him. Looking at the two of them, they should be the scouts of this group.
Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked. The appearance of the beast hoof was so sudden that even he had just heard it. It was no wonder that the two scouts from the mercenary team did not discover it in advance.
"Let's go!" Even the people who were cooking by the fire grabbed their weapons and stood up. They quickly gathered their mounts and a carriage. Even the few people who were staring at Mo Wuji didn't continue to stare at him, but started to pack up with the rest.
Mo Wuji was speechless. From afar, he could already see a row of people riding on horse beasts charging towards them. By the time they finished packing their things, they had already surrounded them. Taking a step back, even if they were to organize themselves and escape, would they be able to outrun these knights?
"There's no need to tidy up, form a team here …" The girl who spoke to Mo Wuji first had already understood. This time, they had discovered the enemy's presence too late, so they couldn't escape now.
Just as they formed their team, the knights in the distance had already rushed over. There were thirty to forty of them. On the side of the girl, including the two scouts who had just returned, there were only nine of them. From Mo Wuji's point of view, these nine people were all injured.
The knights rushed over, but did not charge directly. Instead, they suddenly reined in their mounts, stopping a few metres in front of the nine people.
The scene was a little strange. The nine people were facing off against more than thirty riders, and in the middle of the confrontation, stood Mo Wuji.
"Hand over the item." One of the horse beasts in the middle of the knights walked out. The strong rider on the horse beast stared at the girl and said coldly.
Mo Wuji came to a realisation. The two sides should be fighting over something. Now that the item had been snatched by the side with fewer people, this group of riders was here to chase after the item.
Mo Wuji did not know what these people were fighting over, but he did not intend to attack immediately. Instead, he turned and left. He did not want to leave this place, but wanted to stand by the side and observe first.
"Kill him." What Mo Wuji did not expect was that just as he turned, the rider who walked out of the formation let out a loud roar. Following this roar, a long arrow was shot over.
Mo Wuji tilted his head, and this arrow brushed past the side of his ear.
This arrow infuriated Mo Wuji. If he did not tilt his head, this arrow would have pierced through the back of his head, and pierced through his forehead.
"I am not with them. Friend, you attacked without asking the right and wrong, shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Mo Wuji turned around, and his voice contained a hint of killing intent. If it was any other cultivator, they definitely wouldn't have asked such a question, and would have already started killing. Even though Mo Wuji had become a cultivator, he was not used to killing without asking the right and wrong.
"Haha, you want me, Wuchangwushuang, to give you an explanation? Who cares if you are with them? Wuchangwushuang's men are here, and the rules are that no one is allowed to touch you. You have broken the rules of our Wuchangwushuang. All of you, attack. Let him know that no one is allowed to touch us … "The rider at the front chuckled, and waved his hand once more.
This time, it wasn't just one arrow, but 30 to 40 arrows shot towards Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji raised both his hands, and these arrows became incomparably slow in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, all 30 arrows were caught by Mo Wuji. Without waiting for everyone to regain their senses, Mo Wuji raised both his hands, and another 30 arrows were thrown out by him.
"Ah, ah, ah …" Tens of screams could be heard, and blood splattered everywhere. 35 riders fell to the ground from their horses. Every rider's forehead had an arrow piercing through it. Because of the fall of their owners, the 30 horse beasts were momentarily agitated. These horse beasts were clearly well trained, and very quickly, they calmed down.
The only surviving knight was completely stunned. When he clearly saw that every knight who fell off their horses had a long arrow piercing through their foreheads, and the location of the arrow was exactly the same, he immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
On the other side, the nine people who were in a tense confrontation were also dumbfounded. These 36 riders, who could easily reap their lives, actually turned into 35 corpses in a breath's time, and there was one who didn't even have time to react.
Mo Wuji slowly walked to the front of the knight who was still alive, and said, "What do we do now? I've broken your Wuchangwushuang's rules again. "
As he spoke, Mo Wuji lifted his leg, and with a sweep, the front leg of this rider's horse beast broke. The horse beast let out a neigh, and fell to the ground. This rider also fell to the ground, sprawled on the ground.
At this moment, this tall and sturdy rider was already speechless. His previous arrogance and coldness had turned into a joke at this moment.
"Three Tender Hunter Hua Xuan greets senior. Previously, I had eyes but failed to recognise senior, I seek senior's forgiveness." The woman who was asked for directions by Mo Wuji, and then turned to leave after Mo Wuji asked about the Black Tailed Wasps, hurried over, and bowed to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji asked, "Three Tender Hunters, you're an adventurer team?"
Hua Xuan hurriedly explained, "We're not an adventurer team, and can barely be considered as mercenaries. At the same time, we do some escort business."
Mo Wuji nodded, "Then what are these Wuchangwushuang?"
Hua Xuan said seriously, "Wuchangwushuang is the biggest mercenary group in Sick Woods, or in other words, horse bandits. The ones leading them are a pair of siblings, called Wuchangwushuang and Wushuang. They have always lived in the middle of Qian Tai State and Yu Guang State, and are very strong. At their peak, they even have a regular army of 10,000 men. They commit all sorts of evil in this region, and kill people like flies. Initially, any merchant group that passed through Sick Woods would be killed by Wuchangwushuang. Later on, they changed their strategy, and any merchant group that passed through Sick Woods would have half of their goods taken away by them. If anyone resists, they will be killed immediately. "
Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "Since that's the case, why don't the two states exterminate them?"
Hua Xuan sighed, "Because Wuchangwushuang's army is too strong, and they move very quickly, so it's impossible to exterminate them. The moment one of the states mentioned exterminating them, they would immediately ally with the other state to fight back. Moreover, I suspect that Wuchangwushuang and the two states are colluding with each other. "
"Senior, our leaders, Lord Wuchangwushuang and Lord Wushuang, are both immortal masters …"
This horseman, who was kicked off his horse by Mo Wuji, hurriedly said this sentence. He wanted to make Mo Wuji feel some fear, and then spare his life. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was stepped down by Mo Wuji.
"What did they want from you?" Mo Wuji originally did not intend to ask about this matter, because how could there be anything good in a fight between mortals? But after hearing that Wuchangwushuang and Wuchangwushuang were also immortal masters, he immediately wanted to know what Wuchangwushuang was after.
Hua Xuan bowed respectfully, "Replying senior, it's a sea map, and the map points to an immortal estate in the middle of the sea. This sea map is not with me now, and I've already passed it to my big sister, Aunt Eleven. "
Wuchangwushuang also knew about the sea map, so there was no need for her to continue hiding it from this powerful senior.
"Aunt Eleven?" Mo Wuji suddenly heard a familiar name, and hurriedly asked.
Hua Xuan hurriedly said, "Aunt Eleven is the big sister of our Three Tender Hunters."
"If there's a big sister, then there should be a second sister, right?" Mo Wuji continued asking.
"Yes, our Three Tender Hunters' second sister is Jing Lengbei, and our third sister is Mo Xiangtong …"
"Where are they now?" Mo Wuji excitedly interrupted Hua Xuan's words, and seeing Hua Xuan looking at him in shock, Mo Wuji explained, "I'm friends with Aunt Eleven, and Mo Xiangtong is my aunt. I'm asking about the Black Tailed Bee because Jing Lengbei wants to find the Black Tailed Bee for revenge, so I wanted to find the Black Tailed Bee first. "
