But now that he was free, it was a completely different matter.
"Your master and I have already defeated a group of people, but they managed to escape. If I'm not mistaken, the news of the Origin Immortal Art should have already spread throughout the martial arts world. Searching for the Origin Immortal Art won't be as simple as we imagined, "the Chief Of Wushang said.
The Wushang Village Chief added.
In any case, killing one person is killing, killing one hundred is also killing. We can deal with them all in one go! "
The Evil Emperor's eyes shone with cold light.
Ever since he had retired to the capital, his temper had gotten much better, and he had gotten over many things. He had basically stopped caring about the affairs of the martial arts world. But this did not mean that he didn't care. Since these people wanted to do it again, he didn't mind slaughtering them again.
"Brother Zhang, we should take our time to consider this matter."
The Chief Of Wushang advised. He was old, and unlike the Evil Emperor, he was not as bloodthirsty. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to use killing to resolve many matters.
"Child, you have to be careful in the northwest. We've already encountered quite a few groups of men in black there, and they seem to be very interested in the Origin Immortal Art. You're also their target, so you have to be very careful in the northwest. "
Swish!
As he spoke, the Evil Emperor suddenly raised his finger like a sword, sending a sharp bolt of energy into the sky, shattering the roof of the carriage and soaring into the sky.
Creee!
The shrill cry of a bird came from the sky, and a moment later, an eagle with a wingspan of five or six feet was struck by the bolt of energy and plummeted from the sky.
Eagles could fly at extremely high altitudes, so high that not even crossbows could reach them, but they were completely useless against the Evil Emperor.
"Buzz!"
This sudden movement immediately attracted the attention of the people in the carriage.
"Was it the one from before?"
The Chief Of Wushang asked.
"I don't know. We'll know once we see it."
We'll know once we see, "the Evil Emperor calmly said.
"Hu!"
In the next moment, the air currents surged and a light breeze blew. The Eagle that had been shot by the Evil Emperor's Qi energy immediately drew an arc in the air and disappeared into the carriage. With a thud, it landed on the floor of the carriage.
In an instant, Wang Chong, the Evil Emperor, and the Chief Of Wushang's gazes were all drawn to the Eagle.
The Eagle's feathers were scattered all over the ground. A bloody hole the size of a finger had pierced through its heart, completely taking its life.
"His muscles are bulging, and his wings and feet are extremely strong. This is not an ordinary Eagle. He must have undergone special training."
Wang Miao said after a glance.
The Eagle raised a large number of birds. Wang Chong was influenced by what he saw and heard, and he gradually understood the differences between these birds.
There was a clear difference in the size of the trained birds and the wild birds. Many of the details showed signs of domestication. The Chief Of Wushang didn't say anything. He only looked at the Evil Emperor with a questioning gaze.
Among the three, the Evil Emperor had the highest cultivation. His Myriad Spirit Sea Art was also much more perceptive in this aspect than the others.
"It's not the one from before."
The Evil Emperor looked at the dead Eagle and shook his head.
"Then it might not be those people."
The Chief Of Wushang said.
"Although we need to be extra careful on this trip, the Silk Road is a trade route between the East and the West. It has always been a bustling place. It's common to see birds flying between merchants."
The Chief Of Wushang said. While saying that, he poked at the Eagle's corpse. Sure enough, he saw an intricate metal tube on its foot. Because the Eagle's feathers were very thick, it covered the metal tube. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to see it.
"Let him be!"
Seeing the metal tube, the Evil Emperor frowned. With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind carried the Eagle's corpse out of the carriage.
— — since he had confirmed that it wasn't those people's birds, the Evil Emperor didn't bother to check the metal tube.
"Old sirs, did something happen?" “
Coachman's voice came from outside. The two consecutive explosions had alarmed him.
"It's nothing, let's continue!"
The Evil Emperor said in a low voice.
The carriage immediately fell silent. The winding road headed northwest.
…
Not long after Wang Chong's group left, several figures emerged from the forest in a flash of light, stopping next to the corpse of the eagle that had been abandoned on the side of the road.
"This eagle is at least six to seven hundred feet above the ground. Even arrows can't reach it. Yet, they pierced through it with a single finger. How terrifying!"
Looking at the Eagle's corpse, the group of black-clothed men broke out in cold sweat.
"Their senses are too strong. Fortunately, we were far away. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know how we died."
Another black-clothed man said.
"Let's report this. Normal methods won't work on them. We need to find another way."
At that moment, the third black-clothed man who had been silent all this while spoke up. He suddenly took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee, and pulled the metal tube from the Eagle's leg.
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and switched to another Eagle. If it wasn't for the tube tied to its leg, we would have been exposed."
"Let's go. Our mission is over. It's their turn. I heard that even His Eminence has moved out. These fellows won't be able to escape! "
As they spoke, they picked up the Eagle and vanished.
… …
"Up ahead is Liuyao City. If we leave this place, we'll reach Jade Gate Pass. There aren't many residences for several hundred li around where we're going. That's the last place we can rest. We'll stop there, prepare some rations and beans for the horses, and then we can continue on our way. "
In the carriage, Wang Chong's master, the Evil Emperor, said.
Time passed slowly, and the next few days were calm and tranquil. There were no more twists and turns. The Evil Emperor and the Chief Of Wushang had spent a long time investigating the Origin Immortal Art, so they were extremely familiar with this place.
As they chatted, they quickly arrived at Liuyao City. This place was sparsely populated, with only a few thousand households in the city, all of them merchants on the Silk Road. In the end, they had settled down and started a small business here. The Imperial Court had also established a relay station here, and it had slowly become Liuyao City.
"Drink! Drink! "
The carriage passed through an ancient stone gate and entered Liuyao City. A house on the side of the road had a banner of wine fluttering in the wind. Under the banner was a waiter with a towel draped over his shoulder. The moment he saw Wang Chong's group, he immediately approached.
"Guests, are you heading west from Jade Gate Pass? You've come to the right place to come to our Liuyao City. Drink wine, eat meat, braised beef, braised peanuts, green beans … everything is provided. "
"There's no need to hesitate. In all of Liuyao City, we're one of the few places where you can find lodging and food. This place is windy and dusty, and we don't often do business. It's rare that you've come so early, and the shopkeeper just happened to have gone to the mainland to get some goods. If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait another month. "
The waiter enthusiastically said.
"Let's go. This place truly is rarely open. Let's rest here for a bit."
As the Evil Emperor spoke, the three quickly got off the carriage and entered the tavern by the side of the road.
Wang Chong walked in with his hands behind his back, taking in his surroundings. This was his first time following his master to explore the Origin Immortal Art. The route his master and Chief Of Wushang had chosen was completely different from the route to the west, and it was even more desolate and remote. There were even places that led straight into the Gobi Desert, so they had to make ample preparations.
"Come, come, come. Guests, please sit. It's rare to run into you, so this plate of braised peanuts is a gift from our shopkeeper. "
In the room, a manservant brought a plate of peanuts to the table. Despite the sandstorm in Liuyao City, the interior of the tavern was surprisingly clean. In terms of decoration, it was simple and plain. Although it couldn't compare to the capital, everything else was better than expected.
Wang Chong, the Evil Emperor, and the Chief Of Wushang each chose a place to sit in the tavern.
"Prepare two bags of horse feed for me, enough rations for the four of us for fifteen days. In addition, prepare two flints and six bags of water. In addition, prepare some food for Coachman. "
The Chief Of Wushang said. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, but as a junior, Wang Chong didn't have to do anything, only obediently waiting on the side.
A few moments later, all the food and wine had been served. The remoteness of the area and the sandstorm meant that there were very few vegetables here. Most of the dishes were dried meat, with braised peanuts and braised beef being the most popular. The majority of the food prepared for the guests in the tavern was dried beef or braised beef. The weather was rather dry, so the food did not easily go bad.
"Brother Zhang, come, let's eat."
The old village chief said to the Demonic Emperor Old Man as he picked up his chopsticks to pick up a plate of braised beef.
"Wait a moment!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Chong stopped the two of them. As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom. Wang Chong would usually bring some silver and gold pieces when he went out, especially when silver pieces had other uses.
Weng!
With a flick of Wang Chong's finger, the silver piece immediately turned into a silver needle in Wang Chong's hand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he inserted it into the dishes.
"Master, it's fine."
Wang Chong kept the silver needle, his face calm. Now that they were out, and with the threat of the men in black, it was never wrong to be careful.
Seeing this, the Evil Emperor and the Chief Of Wushang nodded slightly. Although Wang Chong didn't have much experience in the pugilistic world, he was meticulous, which was rare.
The three of them picked up their chopsticks and dug in, soon burying their heads in the food.
Time passed slowly, and the three of them relaxed. The dishes on the plates were getting lesser, and some of the plates were already empty.
"Hehehe!"
