The lights went out one by one.
The surroundings gradually quieted down.
Only the bonfire in the middle was still crackling. Lin Tian sat there alone, looking at the dark night sky in silence.
An indescribable sense of loneliness instantly hit him in the face and invaded his heart.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he was usually cheerful and joking around. Sometimes, he would neglect his duties like a child and become playful.
But as a person who had lived for many years, only he knew the loneliness behind him.
"This is the last life. No matter who is behind you, I will kill until the end. If I don't live forever, I will never look back."
Lin Tian looked at the night sky deeply, then turned around and walked toward his carriage with light steps.
The cold wind blew. Even with his body, he couldn't help but pull his collar, feeling a little bone-piercing.
"My constitution is a little weak …" He sighed and then gradually disappeared into the night.
The bonfire slowly extinguished.
Only the biting cold wind was left in the surroundings, whistling incessantly.
Occasionally, there were a few beastly roars that made one's heart flutter.
Everything was so normal.
Lin Tian lay quietly in the carriage. The exhaustion from the depths of his soul soon made him fall into a deep sleep.
But it was different from being completely unconscious.
Although Lin Tian was now in a deep sleep, he could feel the changes in the outside world.
After an unknown period of time.
The earth suddenly shook slightly.
This movement, although insignificant, was undetectable.
However, with Lin Tian's keen sixth sense, he could sense a dangerous aura nearing.
"Beast Tide?"
Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes. A light flashed in the depths of his eyes. Then, he sat up and slowly buttoned his clothes.
A cold sword that caused people's hearts to palpitate silently appeared beside his hand. This was the Heavenly God Sword. Lin Tian's belongings were all placed in his Spiritual Sea. Therefore, Zhang Ziyi's guards did not find anything on him.
"There's a situation!!!"
Not long after, a sharp voice resounded through the quiet night sky. Obviously, the person in charge of watching also noticed the abnormality.
Then, the surroundings began to move.
The fire lit up.
Not long after, almost everyone rushed out.
"What happened?"
Zhang Ziyi also came in neatly dressed. This time, she changed out of her usual skirt and into a tight leather coat. Her hair was also tied up.
A soft sword was tied to her waist, making her look valiant and formidable.
Everyone felt the movement from the ground getting bigger and bigger, and their faces gradually became serious.
"Young Miss, I'm afraid we're in trouble …" One of the middle-aged men couldn't help but say.
He was the leader of the guard teams with the highest cultivation. His cultivation was the same as Zhang Ziyi's and he was at the peak of the phenomenon realm.
Even in a place like the Heavenly Cloud Dynasty, they could be bestowed with the title of Marquis. They were only one step away from the title of King.
Therefore, he was also deeply trusted by Zhang Ziyi.
"Uncle Wang, is this … a beast tide?" Sensing this movement, Zhang Ziyi was not an idiot. She immediately guessed the reason, and her face turned ugly.
The middle-aged man called Uncle Wang nodded solemnly. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be …"
"Why would a beast tide appear at this time and in this weather?" Zhang Ziyi looked at the dark depths of the mountain forest with an extremely ugly expression.
She couldn't figure out why a beast tide that was rarely seen would appear at this time.
It was too unusual.
"I'm afraid there's a reason behind this …" Uncle Wang shook his head. He had already seen through everything.
But what was the use of this?
Things had already come to this point. Now was not the time to think about these things, but to solve the problem that was about to come.
Zhang Ziyi obviously knew this. She took a deep breath and then ordered, "Get into formation. Everyone, get ready."
Hearing this, everyone dispersed.
Then, according to the usual training method, ten people formed a small team and lined up separately.
Although the Divine Prefecture's battle formation technique was not as developed as the Heavenly Stone Domain, there were still many people who knew it.
Now, the Zhang family's caravan was using a battle formation technique of ten people in a team. When they worked together, whether it was defense or attack, it was much stronger than fighting alone.
"Young Miss …"
At this time, Xiao Cui also walked out. She was a little afraid and stood timidly behind Zhang Ziyi.
"Hide in the back."
Zhang Ziyi said with a serious expression.
It was the first time Xiao Cui saw her young miss so nervous, but she forced down her fear and shook her head. "No, I want to accompany young miss."
"Go!"
Hearing that the commotion in the pitch-black forest was getting louder and louder, Zhang Ziyi was a little impatient. However, Xiao Cui was very stubborn. She pulled out the soft sword at her waist that had always been used for decoration.
"Young Miss, don't look down on me. I'm also a cultivator in the Body Refinement Realm now." Xiao Cui pouted and said unhappily.
Seeing this, Zhang Ziyi had a headache.
However, the danger ahead could come at any time. This made her a little anxious and she didn't have the mood to care about Xiao Cui.
At this time, Lin Tian slowly walked down from the carriage.
"Xiao Cui, come here. Don't cause trouble." He waved at Xiao Cui who was not far away.
Hearing this, Zhang Ziyi looked over and suddenly remembered what he said to Xiao Cui before. Her eyes narrowed and she asked in a low voice, "Do you know something?"
Lin Tian knew what she was suspecting and shook his head.
At that time, he only felt that something was wrong. He really didn't know what would happen at night.
So, all of this was just a coincidence.
Zhang Ziyi looked deeply at Lin Tian. She didn't know if she should believe him. From the moment Lin Tian poured the wine on Fan Wei's body until now, she felt that this man who almost froze to death by the roadside wasn't as simple as she thought.
She didn't know if this was an illusion.
Lin Tian saw through her thoughts at a glance and didn't deny it. He shrugged and said disapprovingly, "I'm not as simple as you think."
Hearing this, Zhang Ziyi's eyes immediately sharpened. The people around them also immediately stared at him.
Lin Tian didn't mind and continued, "But I can guarantee that I have no ill intentions towards you."
Hearing this, Zhang Ziyi stared at him and said coldly, "How can I believe you?"
"If I have any ill intentions, none of you can leave here alive." Lin Tian said helplessly.
"Hmph, young man, you're quite arrogant. I'd like to see how you're going to make it so that I can't leave here alive!"
Uncle Wang snorted and walked forward. He placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and was about to draw it.
"Uncle Wang."
At this moment, Zhang Ziyi reached out and stopped him.
She looked deeply at Lin Tian and hesitated for a moment. Then, she pushed Xiao Cui over and said coldly, "Fine, I'll believe you this time."
"If you dare to have any other thoughts, even if I die today, I won't let you off easily."
With that, she turned around and stared at the gradually appearing black figure in the distance. She took a deep breath and pulled out the soft sword at her waist with a serious expression.
