In the depths of the desert, it was incomparably hot.
The fiery sun cast down its energy without reservation, roasting the earth. The ground covered in golden yellow sand absorbed the flames of the sun and gave off scorching hot air. From a distance, the desert seemed to be distorted by the airflow.
This was the eastern part of Cang Nan Continent, a very desolate place. It was a thousand miles of desert with no signs of human habitation.
At this moment, the sound of camel bells rang.
It was a medium-sized caravan with more than ten camels that came with a thud. Although the desert was desolate, there were still cities and resources. It was said that there was a gold mine on the other side of the desert.
At the very front of the caravan were two sturdy men. Both of them were riding on camels. Their beards were unshaven and they looked ferocious. Their clothes were open, revealing their chest hair. On their backs was a large saber with a ghost head.
Everyone who traveled in the desert knew that this kind of caravan was very dangerous! The most dangerous thing wasn't the sandstorm or the heat. The caravans that traveled this route were all prepared for it.
The most dangerous thing was the desert bandits that roamed the desert! There were several groups of bandits in the desert! Some robbers didn't kill, while others ignored the rules and killed without batting an eye. Not only did they rob, but they also killed anyone they saw. They were very cruel.
Therefore, caravans that passed through the desert would hire a few ferocious thugs as bodyguards so that they could fend off the bandits. If they were lucky, they could hire a low-level immortal master. That would be even better.
The caravan in front of him wasn't so lucky. They hired a total of three bodyguards. They were all martial artists, and they looked ferocious and murderous. The caravan boss thought to himself, 'This trip should be very safe.'
"Big brother bodyguards, have some water." A sweet voice sounded. Then, a woman with a veil covering her face ran over and gave the two bodyguards in front a water bag made of cow stomach.
The veil only covered her mouth and nose, but a pair of charming eyes could be seen on the outside. This kind of woman wasn't beautiful enough, but she was still flirtatious. She wasn't the best in the outside world. But in the desert, this kind of woman was enough to make many people go crazy.
"Okay, thank you." The burly bodyguard leader was momentarily dazed. He took the water bag from the woman's hand, but on the surface, he was still polite.
The woman also smiled faintly and thought to herself that these bodyguards were not bad people. They did not show any wolfish eyes.
However, when the woman walked back, the head bodyguard looked at the woman's frail back, and his eyes immediately became excited. His eyes turned red, as if a wolf had seen meat.
"Big brother, this woman is not bad. She's the boss's concubine," another bodyguard whispered.
The bodyguard who was called big brother revealed a sinister smile and said, "If it wasn't for this girl, I wouldn't be their bodyguard."
The bodyguard next to him also chuckled and said, "Big Brother is indeed smart. In the past, when we robbed goods, we had to fight with others. In the end, we couldn't guarantee what we got. But this time, we chose the caravan of our own accord. When we arrived at the place, we worked together and easily succeeded! "
Big Brother laughed and said, "Third Brother, since you're so good at flattering, I'll let you have a good time with that girl later."
The one called Third Brother shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if I have a good time or not. I just want to rob more gold and ask someone to become an apprentice to an Immortal Master. I heard that there are many Qi Condensation Stage Immortal Masters in the big cities who accept disciples."
Big Brother said, "You're thinking far ahead. But I don't think that much. I just want to be the king of this desert, make our little gang big, and become the number one gang of desert robbers!"
Third Brother said, "You still need an Immortal Master. Our biggest gang leader in this desert, Wang Xiaolong, has a Foundation Establishment Immortal Master under him!"
It turned out that these three bodyguards were a small gang of desert robbers. They mixed into this caravan and wanted to kill and rob as they pleased after entering the desert. This caravan's boss and his men were still unaware of this. It seemed like they were going to die soon.
But at that moment, the sand in front of the caravan suddenly changed. The sand began to flow like water, parting to the sides. The people in the caravan were startled. They immediately stopped and formed a circle to prevent any accidents.
After a while, the sand split into two sides and a middle-aged man sat cross-legged inside. The man opened his eyes and said, "I didn't expect my father, Lu Jun, to be reincarnated in this place … I don't know if Divine Lord Yi Tong made a mistake, but I've waited for three days in this place where ghosts don't lay eggs!"
This person was Lu Jun's son, Lu Wenhao. That day, after Ye Kong had worshipped his ancestors, Seven Stars Sect's Sir God Tan Qingwei had calculated the time, while Hehuan Sect's Sir God Yi Tong had calculated the location. Then, Lu Jun's son, Lu Wenhao, and Lu Yi's daughter, Lu Ying, had set off separately to search for their father's reincarnation.
But when Lu Wenhao arrived at the location Divine Lord Yi Tong calculated, he found himself in a vast desert! Lu Wenhao had no choice but to stay and continue searching. It was possible that a woman in the caravan was giving birth here.
After waiting for three days, Lu Wenhao finally saw someone and came out of the sand. However, this scared the people in the caravan. The three bodyguards thought that this person was trying to steal their business. They immediately roared, "Who are you? Who are you trying to be mysterious? Eat my knife!"
The bodyguard leader picked up his demon-head knife and prepared to cut someone.
Although Lu Wenhao was in the sand, he could clearly hear their whispered conversation with his spiritual sense. He already knew that these bodyguards were actually desert bandits. He snorted coldly, "Mortal martial artist, I didn't want to interfere in your business, but I didn't expect you to attack me first. You're courting death! "
When he said this, the third brother suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Big Brother, wait!"
However, it was already too late for him to shout. Lu Wenhao stood up, and his entire body immediately lit up. His entire body was surrounded by a bright, transparent barrier of light.
"Spiritual Shield!" The desert bandit was somewhat knowledgeable. He didn't dare to attack again and left with his knife!
But Lu Wenhao was a perfected Golden Core cultivator. How could he let a mortal martial artist escape?
"Go!" Lu Wenhao spat out a flying sword magic treasure. The mortals couldn't see the shape of the flying sword at all. They only saw a white light circle around the big brother's neck.
When they looked at the man again, he was already dead on the ground. His blood dyed the yellow sand.
"Immortal Master!" This time, even those who didn't know knew. They all knelt down and said, "Immortal Master, please spare us. You can have anything you want, just don't kill us."
Lu Wenhao said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bandit. I'm here to find someone. Let me ask you, on the 17th of February two years ago, was there a woman who gave birth where I stood? "
"This …" Everyone in the caravan was stunned and speechless. Instead, they looked at Lu Wenhao curiously. Gave birth in the desert? What nonsense, did this Immortal Master's head get kicked by a donkey?
Lu Wenhao saw that they didn't respond and couldn't help but frown. He also felt that it was impossible, but he still said, "Quickly help me remember. If you can help me, I will reward you!"
