The next day, at the break of dawn, a small troop of cavalry left the city in a whirlwind.
In the group, other than Tang Huan and Feng Ming, there was also a Martial Lord of the eighth step, two Stage Seven Martial Master s and fifty Stage Six Martial Master s.
These fifty-three people were all sent by Luo Lang to escort Tang Huan to the Furious Billows Castle.
What surprised Tang Huan was that last night, the Ten Thousand Generals Manor had been extremely calm, and even before he left today, there were no abnormalities. This made Tang Huan wonder if he was thinking too much. However, when Tang Huan saw Luo Lang again, he was firm in his judgement.
As a result, facing Luo Lang's hospitality, Tang Huan only declined a few words, and then took advantage of the situation and agreed.
He wanted to see what exactly Luo Lang wanted to do.
"Da Da, Da Da …"
The sound of hooves rang out incessantly.
This small group of fifty-five people galloped quickly on the rolling plains. They were like a small boat drifting in the waves, rising and falling, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Unknowingly, almost two hours had passed.
"Senior Zhang Tang, we still haven't seen the Furious Billows Castle for so long. Have we gone in the wrong direction?"
On horseback, Tang Huan suddenly laughed, and the one he called "Zhang Tang" was the thin looking old man from the Ten Thousand Generals Manor. He was also a Martial Lord of the eighth step, and should have broken through a few years ago. Compared to Luo Lang, the aura emitted from his body was not small.
"I can't be wrong. Master, don't worry."
Zhang Tang whipped his horse, turned his head to look at Tang Huan with a smile, and explained, "To the south and west of the Furious Billows Castle, there are three allied armies deployed everywhere, and the place you want to go is to the northwest of the Furious Billows Castle. Therefore, you have to take a small detour in order to avoid the soldiers of our Human Clan, otherwise, every once in a while, you will be stopped and questioned by the stationed or patrolling soldiers. It will be too troublesome."
"So that's how it is."
Tang Huan nodded his head in realization. Suddenly, he pulled on the reins, and the horse immediately stopped. Its front hooves were raised high, and it let out a loud neigh.
Zhang Tang and the rest did not expect Tang Huan to stop without any warning, and were slightly shocked. They immediately reined in their horses, and the sound of horses neighing rose and fell one after another. After a long while, the shallow ravine finally calmed down, and one after another, stunned gazes landed on Tang Huan.
"Master Ye Ming, you …"
His legs lightly patted the horse's abdomen, and the horse trotted in front of Tang Huan. Zhang Tang's thin face revealed a look of surprise.
Tang Huan laughed slowly: "Senior Zhang Tang, what I don't like the most is to go around in circles, so I think it's better to change my direction and head straight to the Furious Billows Castle. With my identity badge as a Weapon Refining Master, even if I'm stopped, how long can it take?"
"This …"
Zhang Tang frowned slightly and seemed to be hesitant.
Tang Huan said while beaming: "Senior, do you feel that it's very difficult?"
Feng Ming's gaze quickly circled between Tang Huan and Zhang Tang. After interacting with Tang Huan for so long, she could tell with a single glance that Tang Huan had most likely discovered something, but now was not the time to ask.
In a blink of an eye, although her face did not change, her beautiful eyes stared straight at Zhang Tang's face, as if she wanted to find some clues from it.
"Master, you must be joking."
Zhang Tang smiled awkwardly, "Master Ye Ming, our current route is actually the most secretive. We will not be intercepted by the three nations' allied forces, nor will we be detected by the Demon Clan in the Furious Billows Castle. We can quietly approach the castle, and if we change our route, it will be very troublesome to approach the castle."
"No worries." Tang Huan waved his hand and laughed loudly, "What I don't like the most is to go around in circles, but what I'm least afraid of is trouble."
"..."
Zhang Tang was stunned. When the other Martial Warriors s in the group heard Tang Huan's words, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. Feng Ming, on the other hand, covered her red lips and chuckled softly. She could also feel that Zhang Tang seemed to really want the group to follow the predetermined route.
"Senior Zhang Tang, let's go." Tang Huan shook the reins and turned around.
"Master Ye Ming..."
Zhang Tang shouted anxiously, but before he could finish his sentence, Tang Huan stopped and turned to look at Zhang Tang with a smile: "Looks like we won't be able to leave."
"Huh?"
Hearing Tang Huan's words, Zhang Tang and the surrounding dozens of Martial Warriors s were stunned, but Feng Ming raised her eyebrows and a hint of doubt flashed past her eyes.
In the next moment, everyone understood the meaning of Tang Huan's words.
"Rumble …"
At this time, the ground actually started to shake slightly. Almost at the same time, a thunderous sound faintly came from afar, as if ten thousand horses were galloping. At first, it was soft, but after a while, it became deafening. The sound rumbled as it rolled over, and the ground trembled more and more intensely as the sound intensified.
"Not good, there's an army rushing over here!"
"There seems to be quite a few of them. Could it be our Human Allied Forces …" No, no, from the sounds, they don't seem to be riding horses. Could it be the Demon Clan's army? "
"Why would the Demon Clan's army appear here, and they're even coming for us?"
"..."
In the group, the expressions of dozens of Martial Warriors s changed. The two Stage Seven Martial Master s dismounted at almost the same time and stuck their ears to the ground to listen. The more they listened, the uglier their expressions became.
Zhang Tang faintly heaved a sigh of relief. An undetectable joy seemed to flash across the depths of his eyes. In the next moment, his face became as gloomy as the people around him. He said in a low voice, "Everyone, calm down. Don't panic. Our movements are extremely secretive and it is impossible for them to be leaked. Even if it is the Demon Clan army, it is impossible for them to specially come for us. It is extremely likely that they accidentally bumped into us.
"Ang!" Before Zhang Tang could finish speaking, an earth-shattering dragon roar resounded through the sky, as if it could tear apart one's eardrums.
"Eight Remoteness Dragon King!" Hearing this voice, Feng Ming's face changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
"Eight Remoteness Dragon King?"
Upon hearing Feng Ming's words, the faces of the dozens of Martial Warriors s instantly turned pale. Their eyes were filled with unconcealable shock and fear.
That "Eight Remoteness Dragon King" was one of the eight great Demon King s of the Demon Clan, and might even be the strongest of the eight great Demon King s. The reason why the Furious Billows Castle had not been attacked by the Human Allied Forces for many years was firstly because of the unique terrain of the castle, and secondly because of the tyrannical strength of the "Eight Remoteness Dragon King".
Now, he had actually left the Furious Billows Castle and led his team here. How could they survive?
"Eight Remoteness Dragon King!"
