In the summer fields the peanuts burst into clusters of golden flowers, as numerous as the stars in the sky. Every leaf of the holly tree by the roadside was clearly illuminated, like a light colored hydrangea.
He Yiming slowly lowered the curtain and looked at Yuan Lixun beside him. With the slight movement of the carriage, they had a tacit understanding and smiled at each other.
This was a carriage of more than a hundred people. Every guard in the carriage was a Postliminary Realm expert carefully selected from the Tian Luo Kingdom. Even one of the coachmen was at least at the seventh level of Internal Force.
However, in this carriage, everyone knew that the truly powerful ones were not the guards, but the three Innate Rankers in the carriage.
In a carriage, there were three Innate Rankers. If this news were to spread, it would be a shocking matter.
They were naturally He Yiming and Shui Xuan Jin, who were following Mao Lieguang.
It would be a lie to say that they were not interested in this kind of gathering between Innate Rankers. Therefore, He Yiming also thickened his face and picked some things from the Imperial Treasury. Then, the three Innate Masters set off together.
Innate Rankers would not be disrespected anywhere. Yu Xiaoyi had already prepared the best carriages, coachmen, and guards for them.
They did not need to worry about anything. They just needed to get on the carriages.
Among the ten carriages, there were five luxurious carriages. In addition to one spare carriage, one was prepared for Yuan Lixun. From this, it could be seen that the Tian Luo Royal Family was very attentive to He Yiming, the new Master.
However, He Yiming and Yuan Lixun still stayed in the same carriage.
Although the three Innate Rankers did not put the fighting power of these people in their eyes, for ordinary people, this was a powerful force that could not be ignored.
Along the way, even though they passed by Taicang County, no bandit group dared to have any ideas about them.
In Taicang County, although the Red-scarf Burglars and the other three bandit groups had disappeared, these people were like weeds in spring, never going extinct.
However, He Yiming knew that behind these new horse bandits, there must be the shadow of the Kairong Kingdom. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to immediately rise from the ashes in just over a year.
Holding Yuan Lixun's little hand, He Yiming explained the geography and customs of this place to her in detail. Although he himself only had a smattering of knowledge, this did not affect his casual performance.
Suddenly, He Yiming stopped. He lifted his head and peered into the distance through the curtain. There seemed to be a trace of surprise on his face.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Yuan Lixun asked obediently.
He Yiming shook his head slightly and said, "There may be some trouble, but it has nothing to do with us. Let them handle it."
At this moment, the convoy had slowly stopped. It was not because of itself, but because in front of the convoy, there was a group of people blocking the road.
The leader of the convoy was a middle-aged man in his forties. His name was Yu Kefan, and he was one of the descendants of the Tian Luo Kingdom's royal family. He was deeply trusted by the current Emperor, so he received the heavy responsibility of escorting three Xiantian Masters to the Kairong Kingdom.
Seeing the unforeseen event in front of him, although he could not believe that someone would be so blind as to rob three Xiantian Masters, he immediately patted his horse and went forward.
When he came to the front of the convoy, his eyes were like lightning. He immediately saw that the convoy blocking the road was not good.
There were more than 200 people in this convoy. There were a total of 12 carriages, and the guards were all experts.
Although he was surprised, his heart was not flustered at all. Indeed, no one would feel flustered when there were three Xiantian Masters behind them.
Raising his eyebrows, Yu Kefan said in a clear voice, "Friends in front, please make way."
A person walked out of the convoy. This person's face was very calm. He looked at Yu Kefan's convoy and immediately showed a joyful expression. He said, "Your Excellency, are you the leader of this convoy?"
Yu Kefan was slightly stunned, and a chill ran down his spine.
There were three Xiantian Masters in his convoy. Even if he ate a bear's heart and leopard's gall, he would not dare to admit this.
He snorted coldly and said, "Your Excellency, why are you asking about this?"
The person in front of him laughed and said, "Brother, I see that there are a few luxurious carriages in your convoy. I wonder if you can sell one to us? The price is negotiable."
Although Yu Kefan was experienced and knowledgeable, it was still the first time he encountered such a situation.
He looked at the convoy in front of him again and immediately understood the reason.
There were many luxurious carriages in the convoy, but one of them was extremely extravagant just by looking at its appearance.
At this moment, a few people were working hard to repair something around the carriage. It was clear that the carriage broke down halfway, which was why the convoy was dragged down.
Yu Kefan was secretly shocked. The owner of the carriage was definitely not to be underestimated, or so many people would not be willing to wait for him.
Nevertheless, when he thought about the three big shots in his convoy, he was instantly confident.
Yu Kefan shook his head without any hesitation. "Your Excellency, you must be joking. Our carriages have a purpose, so we can't take them out. Please order your men to make way."
The person in front of him instantly had a gloomy face, and his voice turned cold. "Brother, I'm advising you nicely. It's fine if you give us one carriage, but if not …"
Yu Kefan looked up and laughed. "What if we don't give you one?"
The person did not say a word, but his eyes became colder.
The atmosphere between the two parties instantly became solemn, and their subordinates held their weapons. Gradually, the air around them was filled with a dangerous aura like a barrel of gunpowder, as if it would ignite at any moment.
He Yiming frowned. He and the others were unlucky to have encountered such a situation. If the two parties were to fight, Shui Xuanjin and Mao Lieguang would definitely not be suitable to intervene. In the end, this matter would still fall on him.
He was slightly angry. What was the difference between that person's behavior and a robbery?
He Yiming scoffed. Although the three of them were Innate Realm powerhouses, they restrained their essential Qis as much as possible while sitting in the carriage. However, at this moment, He Yiming planned to circulate his essential Qi and release his aura.
However, at this moment, he heard a familiar voice from the other party's convoy.
"General Ting, what's going on? Is there a need to resort to violence? "
The voice still sounded a little immature, and it was clearly a young man who was not even 20 years old.
However, after hearing the voice, He Yiming's heart was filled with joy. He lifted the curtain without hesitation, and his body had already left the place like a ghost, and rushed toward the person who spoke like a gust of wind.
His movements were so fast that he was already in front of that person almost in the blink of an eye.
The broken down carriage in the opposite convoy suddenly shook, and then exploded in He Yiming's direction. An old man rushed out from the countless pieces of wood at lightning speed, and blocked He Yiming's path. At the same time, he pushed out his palm, and a sharp, ear-piercing sound exploded continuously like firecrackers. It could be seen how powerful the power of this palm was.
He Yiming's heart trembled. Only then did he know that there was an Innate Realm powerhouse in this large carriage.
This Innate Realm powerhouse should be the same as them, restraining all of his aura and quietly waiting in the carriage. Therefore, both parties did not notice each other's existence.
He thought quickly, and his hand had already subconsciously slapped out.
With his current strength, which could be said to be the strongest person below One-Line-Sky, although he did not use his full strength, this palm was like wind and fire, sharp and unstoppable.
With a soft bang, He Yiming's figure suddenly stood still. His body was as motionless as a mountain, and his eyes were full of pride.
The person who met his palm felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He involuntarily retreated, causing the carriage behind him to break apart.
It was only at this moment that the two Innate Realm powerhouses saw each other's faces.
Then, they exclaimed together, and a trace of surprise appeared on their faces at the same time.
"Who is it …"
"Stop …"
Countless people shouted angrily, but no one dared to act rashly.
Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly, "Big Brother He..."
He Yiming laughed and said, "Brother Ming Jin, I didn't expect to meet you here. How have you been?" After saying that, he did not wait for Hsieh Ming-chin to reply. He turned slightly, cupped his fists towards the Innate Master, and said, "Brother Ting, He was reckless just now. Please forgive me!"
It turned out that the voice He Yiming had heard just now was Hsieh Ming-chin of the Fire Crow Country.
The two of them were about the same age, and they had become good friends before He Yiming had advanced to the Innate Realm. He Yiming naturally treated him differently.
The one who intercepted He Yiming was the Fire Crow Country's Imperial Master, Ting Shiguang. However, this Innate Realm powerhouse had a look of disbelief, and his gaze towards He Yiming was filled with disbelief, as if he did not recognize him at all.
It was only when He Yiming cupped his fists and bowed that he woke up from his dream and said, "Master He, is it really you?"
He Yiming was slightly startled, and then he said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Brother Ting, if it isn't this little brother, who else could it be?"
He thought to himself, 'Could it be that something went wrong when Master Ting was cultivating martial arts?'
A hearty laugh came from another luxurious car. It was unknown when Shui XuanJin had alighted from the car and was walking over with large strides. Not far from him, Mao Lieguang had also alighted from his carriage. However, his expression was not as enthusiastic as Shui Xuan Jin, and he only nodded coldly.
This attitude immediately reminded He Yiming of the arrogant attitude he had when he had first met him. It seemed that Mao Lieguang's attitude towards people was indeed different from person to person.
He Yiming could not help but wonder how someone with such a character had advanced to the Innate Realm. However, after thinking about it, advancing to the Innate Realm did not seem to have anything to do with a cultivator's character. Instead, it had a lot to do with the cultivator's character and luck.
"Brother Ting, we haven't seen each other for ten years. How have you been?"
Ting Shiguang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother Shui is also here. What a coincidence …" He turned his eyes and saw Mao Lieguang. He could not help but pause for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Brother Shui, Brother He, are you also going to Kairong Country?"
Shui Xuan Jin nodded with a smile, and glanced at the dilapidated luxurious carriage, and said with a smile, "Yu Kefan, bring our spare carriage over for Brother Shui."
The people on both sides were already dumbfounded. They originally thought that only their own carriages had Innate Realm experts. They did not expect that not only did both sides have Innate Realm experts, but they also seemed to be very familiar with each other.
Yu Kefan didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately responded and ordered someone to drive the spare carriage over.
Ting Shiguang did not refuse and only nodded slightly to Shui Xuan Jin.
With their strength and status, it was naturally impossible for them to put a carriage in their eyes. If they were in each other's shoes, Ting Shiguang would have made the same choice.
Since the misunderstanding had been cleared, everyone naturally continued on their way. However, the difference from before was that the two carriages were now mixed together, and had become even larger.
The person who had confronted Yu Kefan just now was a disciple of the Fire Crow Country's Imperial Family. Her name was Ting Guili, and her status was similar to Yu Kefan's in Tian Luo Country. The two of them could be said to have become friends after fighting, and after the carriages merged, they called each other brothers.
He Yiming called Hsieh Ming-chin into his luxurious carriage. Hsieh Ming-chin happily entered, and when he saw Yuan Lixun, he could not help but be startled.
"Brother Xie, this is my wife, Yuan Lixun of the Jinlin Country's Yuan Family." He Yiming introduced with a smile.
Hsieh Ming-chin immediately bowed and said seriously, "Greetings, sister-in-law."
Yuan Lixun's heart was filled with sweetness, and she was even more careful in preparing the tea and snacks for him.
Sitting in the carriage, Hsieh Ming-chin happily said, "Brother He, although I am in the Fire Crow Country, I have heard of your great achievements. To have a brother like you, I have no regrets in my life. "
He Yiming could not help but laugh, "Nonsense, what great achievements could I have?"
Hsieh Ming-chin anxiously said, "How could you not have? In Jinlin Country, you killed the Bloody Butcher Lu Xin Wen, in Taicang County, you killed two thousand bandits with a single blade, and in Tian Luo Country, you fought a country war with Great Master Cheng Fu of Kai Rong Country. These deeds have already spread throughout the Fire Crow Country. "
He Yiming was startled for a while. Other things were not important, but the rumor of him killing two thousand bandits with a single blade, even though it was not the first time he had heard of it, he still did not know whether to laugh or cry.
However, he already understood that the more he tried to explain, the more rumors there would be. Thus, he simply let it be and did not pay attention to it.
The two of them discussed for a while, and He Yiming already understood why they suddenly appeared here.
The Fire Crow Country was also a small country within the Kai Rong Country's sphere of influence. This time, many Xiantian masters had also invited Ting Shiguang to the trade fair.
Before Ting Shiguang left, he called Hsieh Ming-chin over.
They originally wanted to meet He Yiming in the Kai Rong Country, but they did not expect to meet He Yiming before they even reached their destination.
This time, when they met Hsieh Ming-chin, although he seemed to have matured compared to the last time, his nature did not change much. Thus, when He Yiming interacted with him, he was very relaxed.
This feeling had become less and less as his strength continued to increase. Even in the He Clan Manor, he could only feel it when he was with his most beloved ninth brother, Yi Tao.
As for the other brothers, although they were still as close as brothers, He Yiming could clearly feel that they were becoming more and more restrained in front of him.
Although He Yiming tried his best to change this, there were some things that could not be changed according to his wishes.
After a while, He Yiming suddenly stopped talking. He thought for a moment and finally made a decision in his heart. He said, "Brother Xie, when I was breaking through to the Xiantian realm in the Supreme Residence, I promised Old Mister Zhi En that if I succeeded in three years, I would protect him and strengthen his meridians to help him break through to the Xiantian realm."
Hsieh Ming-chin's face immediately revealed a trace of nervousness as he stared at He Yiming without moving.
He Yiming smiled slightly. Hsieh Ming-chin was still Hsieh Ming-chin, all his thoughts were written on his face. But it was also because of this that He Yiming looked at him differently.
"My schedule is a little tight, but this time I will probably stay in Kairong for a period of time. If Old Mister Zhi En is willing to move to Kairong, that would be great."
Hsieh Ming-chin nodded in surprise and joy, and immediately ordered the confidant of the Xie Residence to return to Huo Wu.
Although Hsieh Chih-en was very old, his body was very strong. In order to have a chance to break through to the Xiantian realm, let alone rushing to Kairong, even if he was asked to go around the northwest countries, he would gladly endure it.

In another luxurious carriage, Shui Xuanjin and Ting Shiguang sat opposite each other.
The two of them could be considered old friends. Although there was an age difference of more than fifty years between them, they had a close relationship.
Ting Shiguang pointed with his finger, "Brother Shui, Mao Lieguang actually accompanied you personally, this is a great honor."
Shui Xuanjin smiled, "Don't you know his character? If it wasn't for Brother He dampening his spirit, how could he be so obedient?"
Ting Shiguang's eyes flashed, "So, the recent rumor that Master He defeated Mao Lieguang in one move is not false?"
Shui Xuanjin smiled proudly, there was an unconcealable smug look on his face, as if the person who made the move was not He Yiming, but himself.
Ting Shiguang opened his mouth, muttering, "Impossible, impossible..."
Shui Xuanjin said unhappily, "Brother Ting, what is impossible?"
Ting Shiguang smiled bitterly, "Brother Shui may not know, but Master He actually successfully broke through to the Xiantian realm in our Fire Crow Country. However, it hasn't even been two years since he successfully broke through. " He took a deep breath and said, "Two years. Could it be that he defeated Mao Lieguang in less than two years of cultivation?"
Shui Xuanjin opened his mouth to speak, but closed it in the end. He had the same thought in his heart.
Those who could break through to the Xiantian realm were definitely geniuses. Those who could surpass these geniuses were naturally geniuses among geniuses, but if one surpassed these geniuses by too much, then what was one...
For a moment, the two of them were speechless. However, Ting Shiguang's heart was swallowed by a poison called regret.
If he had known that He Yiming had such potential, the Fire Crow Country's royal family would have invited him to be the Fire Crow Country's Protector even if they had to sell everything they had and go bankrupt.
However, at this moment...
Ting Shiguang looked at Shui Xuanjin, who was deep in thought, and the envy and jealousy in his heart could not be described with words!
