In the darkness of the night, the sound of metal clashing could be heard everywhere.
A dozen or so cultivators of different realms walked out of the carriages of the caravan that had stopped.
At this moment, they were fighting with another group of cultivators who had come from an unknown place.
In Yu Yuan's eyes, their realms weren't worth mentioning.
Most of them were only in the Golden Hall Realm or the Shattering Realm. The ones with the highest realms were only in the Refinement Realm.
Yu Yuan had Qin Yun and Qi Yunhong stay in the carriage. He lifted the curtain and went outside to observe the battle.
The cultivation of the Fiendish Body Tempering Art allowed him to carve a face at will and change it into an unfamiliar face.
At this moment, his skin was sallow, and he looked to be in his mid-thirties.
"The Dragon Attendants of the Dragon Concealing Lake …"
Because the Star Concealing Fruit was still in effect, he didn't use his soul to sense them. However, he could tell that they were Dragon Attendants from the characteristics of their spiritual arts.
He didn't have a good impression of the Dragon Concealing Lake …
Unexpectedly, the cultivators hiding in the caravan were even stronger than the Dragon Attendants. The Dragon Attendants didn't seem to have thought of this.
After a battle, the Dragon Attendants of the Dragon Concealing Lake left behind a few corpses and fled.
An old woman with a hunched back and a face full of wrinkles ordered those people to deal with the corpses of the Dragon Attendants.
She was the person with the highest realm in the group. She was in the late stage of the Refinement Realm and held a dragon-headed staff.
After giving her orders, she frowned and entered one of the black wooden carriages.
At this moment, an old man named Wu Dong came up to greet him from one of the carriages.
Soon, he arrived at Yu Yuan's side and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. We didn't expect this to happen. It's two days' journey from here to Flame Worship City. If you're worried, we can refund you some money and let you leave. "
As he spoke, some people in the caravan had already packed up and left the group.
There were many bandits operating in the wilderness between Beacon Smoke City and Inferno City. Wu Dong came from Beacon Smoke City, but because he was a righteous person and had a good relationship with the bandits in the surrounding area, most of the bandits would give him face when he was with a group of merchants and would not cause trouble.
But this time, it wasn't a bandit attack …
"No need, we'll stay in the team," Yu Yuan said with a smile.
"Little brother, actually, I suggest that you leave." Wu Dong's expression was sincere as he subconsciously glanced at the seven black wooden carriages in the middle of the team. "I have a feeling that this incident isn't over yet. Furthermore, I'm sure you can tell that this matter involves cultivators. "
When he mentioned cultivators, his voice was obviously lowered.
"My luck has always been pretty good. I should be fine." Yu Yuan lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.
Wu Dong was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly, "What a stubborn guy."
He then went to another carriage to persuade irrelevant people, hoping that they would leave the caravan.
"You know Wu Dong?"
After entering the carriage, Yu Yuan looked at Qin Yun and asked curiously.
It was Qin Yun's idea to enter this caravan and blend into the crowd. Going from Beacon Smoke City to Flame Worship City was Qin Yun's idea.
He was also in charge of negotiating with Wu Dong.
"I've heard of this person's deeds, so I chose this caravan that he's protecting." Qin Yun nodded. "However, we've never met before. Haha, he's using all sorts of methods to get to know me. "
Qin Yun used to be the Sect Master of the Seven Divine Sects and was a famous figure in the Scarlet Sun Empire. Wu Dong had only reached the early stage of the Subtle realm in recent years, so the two of them weren't even on the same level.
"There are seven black wooden carriages. We didn't notice them before, but the Dragon Attendants from the Dragon Concealment Lake appeared. Their target should be them. I'm not familiar with the Scarlet Sun Empire, so I don't know who those seven carriages are. They've forced the Dragon Attendants to retreat for now, "Yu Yuan said casually.
Qi Yunhong was resting in the corner of the carriage with his eyes closed. He wasn't even in the mood to interrupt.
In the battle just now, the strongest person was only in the Subtle realm. Whether it was the seven carriages or the Dragon Attendants, most of them were in the Shattering and Golden Hall realms.
Such a person was like an ant to Qi Yunhong, an expert who had advanced to the Yang Spirit Realm.
"They should be from the Wen family of Beacon City." Qin Yun had taken a few glances through the gap in the curtain and noticed some clues. "It's a little strange. From what I know, the Wen family of Beacon City has always had a good relationship with the Dragon Concealment Lake. Right, the relationship between the Wen family and the Dragon Concealment Lake is similar to the relationship between the Zhao family of Anyue City and the Dragon Concealment Lake. "
Yu Yuan was surprised. "Then why would the Dragon Attendants of the Dragon Concealment Lake attack them?"
"I don't know either." Qin Yun shook his head. "The Wen family's strength in Beacon City isn't weak. They made it clear that no bandits dared to come to Flame Worship City. However, they hid in those carriages and even got Wu Dong to cover for them. "
"Master, there's no need to care about this." Qi Yunhong yawned and shrunk back into the carriage. "I'm a little tired."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
"Young master, there's no need to care." Qin Yun smiled.
"Okay."
Half a day later, most of the people in this mixed group of merchants were persuaded to leave by Wu Dong.
In one of the black carriages, an old woman holding a dragon-headed cane watched Wu Dong cautiously enter. Her expression was cold as she said, "Why did you persuade them to leave?"
Wu Dong smiled bitterly. "Old sister, the Dragon Attendants of the Dragon Concealment Lake have already found us. I'm afraid they will continue to pester us. The battle between the Wen family and the Dragon Concealment Lake shouldn't involve the innocent, okay? "
"The reason I came to you and asked you to form a trading company was to fool the public. Without those people, how can we deceive them? You dismissed everyone except us. Why don't you just show the banner of the Wen family? " The wrinkled old woman's expression was gloomy. "If some ordinary people die, then so be it. What's the big deal?"
"Wu Dong, remember what you owe the Wu family!"
She pointed the dragon-headed cane at Wu Dong's face.
Wu Dong still had a smile on his face. "Dragon attendants, didn't you come looking for us? Since they've been exposed, there's no need for them to follow us. "
"The Dragon Attendants have been found, but the others haven't." The old woman pulled a long face and smashed the dragon-headed cane on Wu Dong's shoulder. "The Dragon Concealment Lake isn't the only one who wants our Wen family to suffer! There are also people from Beacon Smoke City and Flame Worship City who want to harm us. "
"If you do this, we'll be exposed even more. Let alone leaving the empire, I'm afraid we'll all be killed before we even reach Flame Worship City."
In her anger, she hit Wu Dong several times with the dragon-headed cane.
Wu Dong endured until she vented her anger. Only then did he say, "Why do we have to leave the empire?"
"Keep your curiosity in check!"
The sharp end of the dragon-headed cane in the old woman's hand was pressed against Wu Dong's neck. "I'm warning you! From now on, you're not allowed to persuade anyone to leave! Also, I know you have a good relationship with many bandits. Those bandits deserve to die anyway. Find me fifty of them and mix them in the group of merchants! "
"Scram! Do it now! "
