The sun was getting higher and higher, and the scorching sun made people's eyes hurt.
On the official road, hundreds of people and dozens of beast carriages had been standing still.
"Ladies, I just got the news that another Saintess candidate was assassinated on the official road, and this time, the situation is very bad. For the sake of your innocence and safety, Lord Hesui sent a message and asked us to change the route. Miss Hua Yanluo is worried that we will delay the journey, so she is unwilling to change the route. "Qian Lang could only tell them what had happened.
Qin Yue's expression changed when she heard that another Saintess candidate had been killed, disfigured, and humiliated.
"In that case, let's change the route to avoid the assassin." She stole a glance at Feng Lian.
"After changing the route, it will be a rugged path, and even the beast carriages can't be used. We have to walk. If you want to go, I don't want to go." Hua Yanluo rolled her eyes at Qin Yue.
When Qin Yue heard that they had to take the mountain path, her pretty face turned pale. She came from an ordinary family, and this time, she had spent a lot of money to prepare this outfit. If they took the mountain path, how could they meet people when they arrived at Hu City?
"Well, Feng Lian, you decide. Do you want to take the official road or the mountain path?" Qin Yue was also smart. She looked at Hua Yanluo and Qian Lang's expressions, and knew that she could not offend either side, so she simply asked Feng Lian.
Hua Yanluo snorted. She knew that Qin Yue was a fence-sitter. This woman was not a good person at first glance.
Although Feng Lian was also a mixed-blood Celestial Fox, she was different from Qin Yue, who liked to please others. Along the way, she did not speak much and did not bring any maidservants. She was as cold as ice.
But for some reason, Hua Yanluo did not dare to look down on her.
"So what if there's an assassin? Just kill him." Feng Lian only left behind a stiff sentence before returning to the beast carriage without looking back.
"Did you hear that? The three of us don't want to take the mountain path. Or, do you want to escort the empty carriage to Hu City?" Hua Yanluo looked successful, and she lifted the corner of her clothes and got on the carriage.
"Since the two sisters have made the decision, I will follow them," Qin Yue said softly.
Qian Lang was stumped. Should he obey Lady Crane Sound's order or not?
If they did not listen, none of the three Holy Daughter candidates would be willing to leave. Then, he would not be able to report back to his superiors.
"Since everyone has already decided, I won't force you to do anything you want. However, Lord Qian Lang, you have to be extra vigilant along the way. "Yun Sheng glanced meaningfully at Feng Lian's beast carriage.
Just now, if he didn't see wrongly, when the assassin was mentioned, Feng Lian's body seemed to faintly emit a biting cold killing intent.
Three women made a show, and all three of them were restless masters.
It seemed that this journey would not be peaceful.
Just like that, the beast carriage changed direction and went up the official road according to the original plan.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. It was a peaceful journey on the official road. The beast carriage was already halfway through its journey.
"Ladies, it's already an Hour. There's a lake in front of us. We've already found a helmsman to lead us across the lake. Ladies, please get off the carriage first. There's a town after the lake. Tonight, we'll spend the night in the town. "Qian Lang glanced at the wide lake.
There were only a few merchant ships on the lake. There was nothing at all. It was not a good place to ambush an assassin.
He breathed a sigh of relief and drove the beast carriages to several cargo ships.
Several women, including Yun Sheng, boarded a relatively luxurious boat.
After Yun Sheng boarded the boat, she secretly glanced around.
She had already noticed that there were a few unfriendly auras on the boat.
What was supposed to come still came.
At this moment, the helmsman rowing the boat in front had a fierce look in his eyes. He suddenly jumped out and threw a punch at Qian Lang.
The biting cold killing intent was like lightning, causing Qian Lang's heart to tremble. He suddenly took two steps forward, and with two popping sounds, his hands turned into wolf claws.
"Bang!"
The two of them punched each other across the air, and the whole boat shook.
"There are assassins protecting Yun Hua Hospital's daughter and the three Holy Daughter candidates!"
As soon as Qian Lang finished speaking, the half-orc warriors on the boat had already spread out to protect the women.
Beside them, Hua Yanluo and Qin Yue were so angry that their noses were almost crooked.
'Is there something wrong with Qian Lang's brain? How dare he say that he wants to protect Yun Hua Hospital's daughter? How can that lowly half-orc female doctor be compared to us?'
"I don't need your protection." Feng Lian's expression did not change, but a murderous look suddenly appeared in her eyes.
She waved her sleeves, and a strong wind rolled toward the assassin closest to her.
The air was instantly torn apart. The assassin didn't even have time to cry out before his heart was shattered by Feng Lian's palm and thrown out.
"I've been waiting for you. Tell me, are you the ones who killed the guards last time?" Feng Lian's cold face was flushed red.
"Hehe, you're strong and fierce. Little beauty, which time are you talking about? We've killed too many Celestial Fox's guards, so we can't remember. "The helmsman wearing a bamboo hat simply took off his mask.
He was a half-orc man with triangular eyes, and he looked extremely evil.
There was a dark blue Lei Shan's mark on his forehead.
When he saw the mark, Qian Lang's expression changed, and he cried out, "Lei Mo Layun!"
Lei Mo Layun was a very famous assassin in the Eight Wastelands.
He was a half-orc from the Thunder Roc Tribe. Because he was bloodthirsty and lustful, he raped many women in his tribe and was hunted down by his tribe.
However, because he was proficient in super Thunder Magic, he used magic to escape many times. Over the years, he gathered a group of traitors from various tribes on the mainland and became an assassin.
"Hehe, you're Qian Lang, right? You have good eyesight. Since you recognize me, I'll leave your corpse intact later." Lei Mo Layun had ambushed many people from the Celestial Fox Tribe on the way and killed many of them.
The women from the Celestial Fox Tribe were the most beautiful among the few major tribes, so Lei Mo Layun had ruthlessly ravaged them many times. This time, he encountered the group escorting the Saintess candidate from Cangdu. He followed them all the way to the waterway and secretly attacked.
He didn't expect Qian Lang to be an expert. Even Feng Lian, one of the Saintess candidates, was not weak.
After seeing Lei Mo Layun's perverted face, Hua Yanluo and Qin Yue felt so regretful that their intestines turned green.
If they had known this would happen, they would have taken the mountain path. It would have been better than meeting such a troublesome Lei Mo Layun.
Only Feng Lian's face was filled with hatred.
"I don't care who you are. I only know that you killed my elder brother, and I want to avenge him!" Feng Lian came to the Saintess election this time mainly for revenge.
Her elder brother, Feng Wei, was the general in charge of escorting the second batch of Saintess candidates to Hu City. He and the hundred soldiers under his command never returned.
"Haha, how arrogant. I'll show you the true strength of Lei Mo Layun!" The helmsman wearing a bamboo hat laughed eerily.
He and a few of his subordinates suddenly turned around and jumped out of the boat.
