On the morning of the day after tomorrow, Lu An and Liu Jiuyang set off from Grand Desolate City.
Due to the effects of the Yang Spring Pill, Liu Jiuyang's injuries had completely healed. He was a level-3 Celestial Master and was not weak. At the very least, he could take care of himself on the road.
The two of them rode horses and set off from the west gate of Grand Desolate City, heading straight west. Yesterday, Lu An had asked a lot about Gu Juanguo and the Western Malefic Star. However, not many people knew about the fight in Gu Juanguo's royal family. However, everyone knew a lot about the Malefic Star.
Because Shiku Kan was very big, there were groups of Malefic Stars rushing out to rob almost all the time. However, their strength and size varied. It was said that there was a very powerful Malefic Star between Grand Desolate City and Gu Juanguo. Basically, everyone had to take a detour.
Perhaps Liu Jiuyang had encountered that force when he came to Grand Desolate City, which was why he was so injured. On the horse, Lu An looked at the endless desert in front of him, not knowing when they would be able to get out of here.
It was easy to get lost in the desert. Countless Celestial Masters died in the desert every year. Fortunately, Lu An used to live in the Tabukar area, where the sense of direction was very weak. He had cultivated a sense of direction over the years, which was why he could always be sure of the direction.
Soon, the two of them rode out for an entire morning. The sandstorm in Shiku Kan was very strong, especially when the two of them were traveling against the wind. The sandstorm kept hitting their faces and even went into their eyes, nose, and mouth. It was very uncomfortable. Lu An was fine. He only lowered his head slightly and ran forward. However, Liu Jiuyang was not so comfortable.
Although he was not weak, he had never encountered such trouble since he was young. Fortunately, he also knew that this was a special period. In addition, Lu An had a cold temper, so he did not dare to say anything.
After running for a while, Lu An stopped the horse and said to Liu Jiuyang, "Rest for a while and eat something."
At this time, Liu Jiuyang could not take it anymore. He had reached his limit mentally. He quickly jumped off the horse and released his heavenly essence power. Immediately, walls appeared around them, blocking all the sandstorm.
Lu An looked at the surrounding walls and frowned slightly. In fact, he didn't want to do this because it was too conspicuous to suddenly appear in the desert and would easily become a target. However, seeing that Liu Jiuyang was about to collapse, he didn't say anything. He took out some dry rations from his ring and threw them to Liu Jiuyang.
After receiving the rations, Liu Jiuyang began to eat them in big bites. Lu An was also sitting on the ground and eating leisurely. With all nine suns activated, he was able to search the surrounding area for several kilometers even though he was blocked by these walls.
"Young Hero Lu, I really admire you," Liu Jiuyang suddenly said from the side.
Lu An was stunned. He turned to look at Liu Jiuyang and asked, "Why?"
"You're so young, yet you're so strong. Furthermore, you're able to endure hardships. It can be said that you've broadened my horizons." Liu Jiuyang said seriously, "You disregard the nobles. I offered you the position of State Preceptor, but you didn't want it. You only wanted that Tier-7 Heaven Technique. To tell you the truth, I have a younger sister who is about the same age as you. She is the princess of Gu Juanguo. After everything is done, why don't you two get to know each other? "
"No need." Lu An directly refused and said, "I'm just sending you back. I'll leave after taking the Heaven Technique. There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Jiuyang was stunned again. He didn't expect that Lu An didn't like nobles and was even so cold to women. He couldn't help but say, "My younger sister is an outstanding beauty. She's a rare beauty!"
However, this time, Lu An didn't even reply. He just quietly ate another mouthful of dry rations and drank a mouthful of water before standing up. He looked at Liu Jiuyang and said, "Looks like you're full. Let's continue on our way."
"…"
Without giving Liu Jiuyang a chance to speak, Lu An had already jumped onto his horse and left. Liu Jiuyang was stunned. He quickly got on his horse and chased after him.
The two of them ran wildly in the desert for three days. With his previous experience, Liu Jiuyang didn't dare to say anything in front of Lu An and followed Lu An obediently. However, Lu An's method of running was a little too much for him. Not to mention him, even the horse couldn't take it anymore. However, the efficiency was indeed very fast. One day was like two days. At this speed, they would probably reach the border of Gu Juanguo in less than ten days.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, the two of them continued to run through the desert. They didn't encounter any attacks during these four days, which surprised Liu Jiuyang. When did Shiku Kan become so safe?
In fact, this was all because Lu An used the Scorching Sun Nine Suns to sense the presence of enemies from several miles away. Although these enemies weren't very strong, Lu An didn't want to cause trouble and avoided them all. However, at this moment, Lu An suddenly frowned.
"Stop!" Lu An suddenly shouted, and the horse he was riding was pulled to a stop. Liu Jiuyang, who was at the side, hurriedly stopped and looked at Lu An.
"What's wrong?" Liu Jiuyang looked around and didn't find anything.
Lu An didn't answer, just frowned and looked ahead. The reason why he stopped was because in the perception of the Scorching Sun Nine Suns, there was a very large group of people moving three miles away.
From the number of people, there were at least hundreds of people. These people were riding horses and running wildly in the desert, as if they were having a gathering. Daring to behave so wildly in Shiku Kan, plus they were almost halfway through the journey, it was not difficult to guess who the other party was. It was very likely that it was the most powerful evil force that others talked about — the Sand Mountain group.
The other party's range of activity was very large, and their whereabouts were uncertain. They didn't know which direction they would go at any time. The best way was to wait for the Sand Mountain group to leave, or Lu An to kill all the way.
However, Lu An didn't do that, but stopped and prepared to wait. Although Liu Jiuyang didn't know why Lu An did this, but these days he was used to Lu An's style of doing things, so he didn't ask much and stopped to rest.
In the distance, the Sand Mountain group was still gathering. After about a quarter of an hour, suddenly Lu An frowned and stood up!
"What's wrong?" Liu Jiuyang saw this and hurriedly climbed up from the desert, looking at Lu An and asked in confusion.
"Get on the horse, someone is chasing us!" Lu An immediately said. The two immediately got on the horse and ran in another direction!
"Chirp!!!"
At this moment, suddenly a sharp cry came from the sky. Lu An's heart shook. He looked up at the sky and saw a huge condor circling in the sky. Its body was so big that it even covered the sun. From the size of its body, it was at least a rank four exotic beast!
Lu An frowned. It was obvious that this condor was the Sand Mountain group's exotic beast. He immediately wanted to knock the condor down from the sky, but this condor was hundreds of feet above the ground. Even Lu An would have to spend some effort to knock it down.
However, as long as the condor was there, they would definitely not be able to escape the Sand Mountain group's pursuit. He was fine, but Liu Jiuyang was not strong enough to escape. Thinking of this, Lu An frowned again and suddenly pulled the reins!
The brown horse neighed and immediately stopped in the desert. Liu Jiuyang also stopped and asked Lu An, "What's wrong?"
"Look at the condor in the sky." Lu An said indifferently, "We can't escape."
Liu Jiuyang was stunned and quickly looked up at the sky. Sure enough, he saw the condor circling in the sky. His face immediately turned pale. He looked at Lu An and asked in panic, "Then what do we do?"
"Wait for them to come." Lu An said calmly, "Kill them all and then continue."
Liu Jiuyang was stunned again. His face was full of astonishment. He had experienced the strength of the Sand Mountain group. Even the troops chasing him could only take a detour. How could Lu An deal with them alone?
At this time, Liu Jiuyang suddenly heard the dull sound of horse hooves coming from afar. This sound was like a black cloud pressing down on a city, suffocating people. His legs even went soft. His eyes kept moving back and forth between Lu An and the front. The sweat on his face was getting more and more.
"Young hero Lu, I can't die here. Please don't joke around!" Liu Jiuyang was so flustered that he did not know what to say. However, no matter what he said, Lu An turned a deaf ear.
Finally, after Lu An waited for a while, a huge shadow appeared in the desert. Hundreds of horses and hundreds of people appeared in his field of vision. It looked very imposing. However, Lu An's eyes did not show the slightest fear. There was even some curiosity and anticipation.
After all, he had never fought in the desert before.
