After preparing everything, the two of them left Peerless City and headed straight for the Hengduan Mountain Range.
The Peerless Empire was indeed the largest empire within the territory of the Heavenly Blade Sect. It had a vast territory. After seven days of travelling, the two of them finally arrived near the Hengduan Mountain Range.
Along the way, they had experienced many things. The two of them were young, especially Zhang Dongshuang, who was extremely beautiful. Naturally, it was easy for them to attract the evil intentions of those who harbored evil intentions.
Thus, along the way, the two of them encountered bandits who wanted to kill them and steal their treasures. They also encountered evil people who coveted Zhang Dongshuang's beauty. When they entered the city to rest and replenish their supplies, they encountered swindlers and stayed in unscrupulous inns …
However, in the end, it was more daunting than dangerous. With Lu Xuan's current strength, as long as he did not provoke any cultivation clans, ordinary warriors would not be able to do anything to him.
Zhang Dongshuang naturally saw everything that Lu Xuan did. She was extremely grateful to Lu Xuan. This time, if she did not follow Lu Xuan, it would not be easy for her to reach the Hengduan Mountain Range by herself, let alone obtain the inheritance.
She grew up in her clan and entered the Heavenly Blade Martial House. She had never seen the various filth of the secular world. Her mind was very pure. How could she have thought of all the filth?
For Lu Xuan, although it had only been a short seven days, it had been extremely exciting. While it had broadened his horizons, it had also allowed him to slowly grow and gain a better understanding of the secular world. As expected, it was only by going out that one could truly witness the wonders of the world.
"That should be the Hengduan Mountain Range in front." Lu Xuan said as he looked at the endless mountain range in front of him. He had a map of the surrounding area, so naturally, he could easily recognize it. From afar, the mountain range looked like a sleeping dragon, stretching for who knew how many miles.
"There's no rush. Let's first enter the city and rest. These few days of continuous travel, you must be tired." Zhang Dongshuang said. During these seven days, she had Lu Xuan's protection, but Lu Xuan had to bear the responsibility of their safety. Naturally, it was not as easy as she was.
Lu Xuan didn't refuse and nodded. The two of them urged their mounts to move towards a nearby town.
Although it was called a small town, it was actually quite big. It wasn't much different from an ordinary city. Because this place was close to the Hengduan Mountain Range, there were martial artists who entered the mountains all year round. They were either hunting beasts or searching for the remains of powerhouses that might or might not exist.
Over time, this small border town began to develop. If it were to develop for a few more years, this place would probably become a real city.
After entering this small town, one could see many warriors coming and going. It was very prosperous. Those who came here were basically rushing towards the Hengduan Mountain Range. Naturally, there wouldn't be any ordinary people here.
First, the two of them found an inn and prepared to stay there. At the same time, they wanted to inquire about the situation in the Hengduan Mountain Range. After all, they didn't know much about this place.
"Haha, are the two of you looking for a place to stay or a meal?" Just as Lu Xuan and Zhang Dongshuang entered the inn, a waiter walked over with a smiling face.
As he glanced at the waiter, Lu Xuan's heart trembled. A waiter of an inn actually had the strength of a 3rd Layer Body Refinement Stage. Just what kind of place was this!
However, even though he was shocked in his heart, Lu Xuan didn't reveal the slightest bit of it. He only nodded his head and said: "Stay."
Once he heard that Lu Xuan and Zhang Dongshuang wanted to stay, the waiter's smile undoubtedly became even wider. He hurriedly called out: "Please come in. May I know if the two of you need our help to take care of your mounts?"
"Yes, then we'll have to trouble you." As Lu Xuan finished speaking, he handed over the four Snow Dragon Horses to the waiter. As he took the reins, the waiter sighed in his heart. As expected of a rich man, he even had two mounts for himself. Moreover, they were the most expensive Snow Dragon Horses.
After letting the waiter lead the mounts away, Lu Xuan and Zhang Dongshuang walked inside and directly found the shopkeeper at the counter. As he had expected, the shopkeeper's strength was even more astonishing. A mere shopkeeper actually had the strength of a 6th Layer Body Refinement Stage, it was really unimaginable.
One must know that in the secular world, a 6th Layer Body Refinement Stage was already considered quite an impressive strength. Even the manager of the Heavenly Blade Shop was only at the 6th Layer Body Refinement Stage. Yet, this person was actually willing to be a shopkeeper here.
However, he didn't pursue the matter and opened his mouth: "Shopkeeper, can I trouble you to give us two superior rooms?"
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, the shopkeeper immediately revealed a trace of a smile and said: "What a coincidence, our shop just so happens to have the last two superior rooms left. However, the superior rooms are slightly more expensive, two hundred gold per room. May I know how many days the two of you will be staying here?"
As these words came out, Lu Xuan and Zhang Dongshuang were immediately stunned. Staying here for a day actually cost two hundred gold per day? How was this slightly expensive, it was practically ridiculously expensive!
Zhang Dongshuang couldn't help but speak up: "Shopkeeper, this is too expensive. Could it be that we are easy to bully because we are young?"
Lu Xuan didn't reply, he only looked at the shopkeeper, waiting to see what he had to say.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You two must have misunderstood. If it was any other place, this price would naturally be ridiculously expensive. However, in our small town, this price is very normal. You must know that the people who come and go here are all martial artists. Without a bit of strength, how can they hold down the place? Therefore, these two hundred gold is not only the price of the room, but also the protection fee."
When he said this, it made sense. When he first came in, Lu Xuan glanced around and saw that there wasn't a single ordinary person. All martial artists were aggressive. Obviously, the security here was not too good. No wonder a mere waiter was at the 3rd Layer of Body Refinement and a shopkeeper was at the 6th Layer of Body Refinement.
Zhang Dongshuang still wanted to open her mouth to say something, but Lu Xuan stopped her. It seemed that the shopkeeper was speaking the truth. Otherwise, the two of them would only need to find another shop and they would immediately be able to verify it.
"If that's the case, then let's open two rooms for ten days." Lu Xuan said. With his net worth, a mere few hundred gold was not even worth mentioning.
Once Lu Xuan said this, it was the shopkeeper's turn to be surprised. He originally thought that these two youngsters would be scared away by the price, but he didn't expect that they would not only stay, but also stay for ten days. Ten days, that was no less than four thousand gold.
But the surprise on his face only flashed for a moment. With a big business coming to his door, he could only be happy. How could he care about anything else?
"Haha, the two guests are really generous. Two high class rooms for ten days, a total of four thousand gold."
Lu Xuan looked at the gold that he obtained from Bai Chi. It seemed that it was not enough. He immediately asked: "Does your shop accept source stones? If it's gold, I don't have that much on me. "
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes! Of course we will. Four thousand gold is a total of four low-grade source stones. "
Lu Xuan did not hesitate. He directly took out four source stones from his storage ring and handed them over. He had quite a lot of source stones on him. He had obtained some from Xu Wenyang, some from Bai Chi, and some from the Heavenly Saber Shop. In addition, he had obtained a few hundred low-grade source stones.
After receiving the source stones and feeling them, there were indeed no traces of them being fake, the shopkeeper put them away. Then, he called for a waiter to bring Lu Xuan and Bai Chi upstairs.
Their rooms happened to be next to each other. This was not bad; it was convenient for them to communicate.
Zhang Dongshuang was not in a rush to enter her own room. She took the initiative to stay in Lu Xuan's room. After the waiter left, she said to Lu Xuan: "Young Hero Lu, I don't know why, but after entering this town, I have a bad feeling. It's like I'm being watched."
Lu Xuan was slightly stunned. He said with some doubt: "Could it be because there are too many warriors here and you are feeling uneasy?"
Zhang Dongshuang frowned. She wasn't sure either. She just said, "It's just my feeling. I can't say for sure. I'm thinking … Could it be that the Liu family has come after us?"
When Zhang Dongshuang said this, Lu Xuan's heart suddenly trembled!
He had forgotten about this matter. It should be known that so much time had passed. Bai Chi had not been able to bring Zhang Dongshuang back to the Liu Family. The Liu Family must have realized that something had happened.
Since they could know the secret of the Zhang Family's inheritance, it was very likely that they knew that the Zhang Family's inheritance was in this Hengduan Mountain Range. Maybe they were waiting here for the two of them to come.
"I can't rule out this possibility. It seems that we have to be careful. In this town, there are many warriors. There are probably many experts. With my strength, I can't ignore them." Lu Xuan frowned.
Zhang Dongshuang gritted her teeth and said: "Young Hero Lu, can I sleep in your room tonight?"
When Lu Xuan heard this, he was very surprised. What did this mean? Could it be …
Seeing Lu Xuan's gaze, Zhang Dongshuang immediately knew that he had misunderstood her. She blushed and said: "I didn't mean that. I'm worried that we have been targeted. If we stay together, we can take care of each other."
After Zhang Dongshuang's explanation, Lu Xuan immediately understood. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It seemed that he had misunderstood.
However, this thought was quickly thrown away. He thought for a while and nodded: "That's good. It's better to be safe than sorry. Let's do it this way. You can sleep in your room first and then sneak over. If someone wants to make a move, they will definitely do it at night. Let's see if we can lure the snake out of its hole."
Hearing that Lu Xuan agreed to her suggestion, Zhang Dongshuang's face was also happy. During this period of time, she had been by Lu Xuan's side every day. She had long been used to Lu Xuan's protection. So when she thought of any danger, she naturally thought of Qin Wen first.
"I'll have to trouble you, Young Hero Lu. If there's any danger that you can't resist, you don't have to worry about me. You can just escape by yourself. If you get involved because of this, then I'll die a thousand times over," Zhang Dongshuang said sincerely.
