Since Ye Qinghan had offered a high price, Captain Gu naturally did not object. He happily got off the carriage. One thousand Heaven Rank Spiritual Spirit Stones was already one-fifth of the total income from this mission.
"Hahaha, well said. Please let the child into the carriage. We men will walk." Captain Gu laughed heartily. Although he was a little greedy, it was all for survival. No one could say anything.
Ye Qinghan signaled for Tong Tong to bring Xiao Tong into the carriage. Moon Praying Grand Duke had purposely let Tong Tong and Xiao Tong share the carriage with the eldest daughter of the clan.
This kind of eldest daughter who did not leave the house was very traditional in certain clans. They could not go out to meet people. It was fine as long as their cultivation reached the Divine Realm. The rest of their time was spent learning how to take care of their husbands and children. Ye Qinghan at least used his divine sense to check on her. Knowing that she could not threaten Xiao Tong's life, he stopped paying attention and quickly followed the group.
The Sixth Prince's body was delicate. No matter how strong his cultivation was, he was not suitable for such a long journey. After just a few thousand miles, he was already complaining. Even the divine bird could not stand it and directly called him a good-for-nothing.
In terms of endurance, the Sixth Prince was far inferior to the Fourth Prince and the Eighteenth Prince. A prince like him could enjoy life as a Taiping County Prince, but he was definitely not cut out to be an emperor.
Ye Qinghan had no choice but to summon the God Slaying Eagle to carry him. After all, the mercenary group did not have any extra dire beasts to carry him.
"Is he really a prince? His skin is so soft and tender. He can't even walk. What a sissy," Captain Gu mocked.
The Sixth Prince's face twitched. He made up his mind and roared, "We're just in a hurry. If you can, I can also keep up with you today!"
After saying that, the Sixth Prince jumped off the God Slaying Eagle's back and followed Ye Qinghan closely.
"Hahaha, you're still angry? If you can keep up with us today, I'll be convinced."
Captain Gu laughed. The whole mercenary group laughed as well. Perhaps the Sixth Prince had become their laughingstock.
The Sixth Prince's imperial dignity was at stake. How could he allow others to look down on him? he gritted his teeth and endured.
Their speed became faster and faster. Close to a thousand people kicked up a cloud of dust. Some of the elderly and children were carried by the large men as they sped along.
Ye Qinghan was puzzled. He strolled leisurely toward the Grand Duke of Moon and asked curiously, "Why did you migrate your tribe in such a hurry?"
"Sigh, I have offended someone, so I have no choice but to come to Yangzhou City to seek refuge with my distant relatives." Grand Duke Moon-Praying smiled bitterly.
"Our Reverence Moon Clan was bestowed the title of nobility by the Grand Prince himself a hundred thousand years ago. Unfortunately, we have been in decline for generations, and we are now a fallen noble clan. Then, a new Duke was conferred the title of nobility near us. Their clan is a newly born clan, and they are very powerful. Two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. We are no match for them, and we can't tolerate their resentment, so we challenged them to a duel. Our clan suffered heavy casualties, but we managed to kill the strongest genius of their clan. They threatened to exterminate our clan, so I had no choice but to migrate with my clan.
The Sixth Prince understood this kind of aristocratic system the best. If a Giant God expert emerged from a small village, he or she would be conferred a title by the Prince or even the Emperor. He or she would have a large territory. However, a Giant God expert was not indestructible. Once a Giant God expert fell, his or her descendant would not be able to become a Giant God expert. His or her title would disappear, and he or she would become a fallen noble family. Once another clan with a title appeared in their territory, the two clans would clash and the clan would be exterminated.
This kind of thing was too common. The royal family had no choice. They couldn't afford to offend a newly promoted duke for a fallen noble family. Therefore, they turned a blind eye and didn't meddle in other people's business.
Ye Qinghan nodded inwardly. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business. This kind of thing was a waste of time.
Along the way, the Sixth Prince's face twitched. However, he gritted his teeth and persevered. Ye Qinghan admired him a little.
The sky gradually darkened. The world at night was very dangerous. It didn't just come from nocturnal beasts, but also from humans. To ensure their safety, the mercenary group had to stop and set up camp.
The mercenaries quickly set up their defenses. Although they were disorganized, they were confident that they could deal with some ordinary bandits.
Bonfires were lit, and the Moon Worshipping Clan members began to roast meat to replenish their energy. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to endure the long journey.
The Sixth Prince was on the verge of collapse. He looked at Ye Qinghan and said pitifully, "How long until we reach Yangzhou City?"
Captain Gu laughed and said, "Hahaha, ten more days. That's if nothing big happens."
The Sixth Prince was dumbfounded. He had to endure this kind of torture for ten more days. Just thinking about it made him go crazy.
Ye Qinghan smiled and didn't say anything. However, he looked up at the winding mountain range and said, "Trouble is coming. Ten miles away, three Giant Gods, three ordinary Overgods, and three hundred peak High Gods. Their goal is clear. They are coming for you."
"What? So many Giant Gods?! " Captain Gu's expression changed. The strongest person in their mercenary group was the Giant God, and he was the only one. The Moon Worshipping Clan didn't even have a single Giant God.
The Moon Worshipping Clan's Grand Duke panicked. If they were coming for the Spirit Stones, it would be fine. However, if they were coming for the Moon Worshipping Clan's people, their entire clan would die tragically.
"Don't panic. I'll be back soon."
Ye Qinghan slowly got up and said to Captain Gu, "Please take care of the child and him for me. I'll take care of it for you."
Ye Qinghan pointed at the Sixth Prince. He didn't tell them the Sixth Prince's true identity. Perhaps he was afraid that something unexpected would happen.
Captain Gu and the Moon Worshipping Clan's Grand Duke paled. The group was less than three miles away from them. They could feel it.
Ye Qinghan lifted his foot slightly, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.
"Get ready to fight!" Captain Gu said in a panic.
"No need. With Mister Zuo's strength, even if there are three or five hundred Giant Gods, he can kill them all by himself," the Sixth Prince said proudly, as if Ye Qinghan's strength was his own strength.
Boom!
Then, there was a loud bang. A huge palm print covered the sky and emitted a divine light. The area within ten miles was as bright as day. The divine power stirred up sand and dust. Then, Ye Qinghan turned around and returned to the campsite. Everyone was stunned.
This group of unlucky bandits had encountered Ye Qinghan. They didn't even see his shadow before they were smashed to pieces.
"You … You are the almighty Supreme God?" Captain Gu's pupils shrank as he looked at Ye Qinghan. His legs were trembling. He hurriedly handed over a thousand Heaven Rank Spirit Stones to Ye Qinghan and bowed. "I didn't know your identity. If I did, I wouldn't have dared to accept your Spirit Stones. Please take them back, my lord!"
"Forget it. I'll give them to you. I need someone to take care of the child along the way. Consider it payment," Ye Qinghan said calmly.
