It was now summer in the New World.
Near the southern border of the Northern Wilderness, the surrounding vegetation had started to become sparse. There were almost no people or horses on the official road. The sun hanging high in the sky was emitting amazing light and heat, scorching the earth.
Zuo Zhicheng and Xu Hongfei walked slowly on the road. Zuo Zhicheng only wore a thin shirt. His skin looked very tanned, which was the shadow of the Night Sea absorbing the light.
But even under such a bright sun, there was not a single drop of sweat on his face, neck, or back. His eyes were clear, and his steps were steady. It seemed that nothing could disturb his will.
In comparison, Xu Hongfei, who was behind Zuo Zhicheng, was a little shaky. He had been running on his feet for a long time, and he even had to follow Zuo Zhicheng's footsteps while carrying the Unbreakable Fate Cluster. Even though Zuo Zhicheng had intentionally slowed down, Xu Hongfei was already exhausted. His mouth was dry, and he was seeing stars.
Zuo Zhicheng's left pupil contracted slightly. He looked at the area a few miles to the north and said, "The next stronghold will be the last one before we enter the desert. After that, there will be no more places to resupply.
When we get there, we will buy a few horses. " As he spoke, he looked back at Xu Hongfei and said, "Your physical strength is too weak. When we go back, you have to strengthen your cultivation in this area."
"Yes … Yes." Xu Hongfei gasped for breath and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm dragging you down. Why don't you go first …"
Zuo Zhicheng glanced at Xu Hongfei, and his leg flashed. He kicked Xu Hongfei's chest and sent him flying more than five meters away.
"If you don't want to drag me down, then train harder. The Northern Wilderness is in chaos now. The remnants of the Underworld Sects are still fighting. This is the best practical training. " Zuo Zhicheng said lightly, "According to the information from the Shadow Corps, the Yama Holy Son is breaking through in the direction of the Naruta Mountains.
Come with me. When we reach the outskirts of the mountain range, I will put you down. Then you will fight alongside the ordinary members of the Shadow Corps. "
A cold light flashed in Zuo Zhicheng's eyes. "The things I've prepared for you will definitely be enough for you to cross the desert and kill the scattered disciples of the Hell Sect, as well as the bandits and robbers. If you can't even pass this trial, then all the money I spent on you will have been wasted. "
"My Lord, I won't let you down." Xu Hongfei rubbed his chest and got up.
Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at a walled city. This was also the last stronghold before entering the desert. Although the walled city was full of dilapidated houses and collapsed walls, it was now crowded with people. There were all kinds of Jianghu people, people of the underworld, all kinds of peddlers, and people from the imperial court.
Zuo Zhicheng led Xu Hongfei to the largest inn in the walled city. Along the way, they encountered a few Jianghu fights, but Zuo Zhicheng only glanced at them.
"I heard that the Acheron Devil Palace has gathered the treasures of the Hell Sect for hundreds of years. Just the gold bricks alone are enough to cover the entire city. It is said that when the Seven Great Forces opened the treasury of the Devil Palace, the golden light illuminated an area of a hundred miles."
"What about the secret martial arts books of the Hell Sect? It would be great if I could pick up a secret martial arts book of the Hell Sect. "
"Hahaha, Zhao Laosan, you can't even recognize a word and you want to learn the martial arts of the Hell Sect? I think even if the Hell Soul Cleansing Scripture was placed in front of you, you won't recognize it, and it won't recognize you! "
"Hahahaha!"
As soon as Zuo Zhicheng led Xu Hongfei into the main hall of the inn, there was a burst of laughter. Many people were talking about the Hell Sect. After all, the battle between the Seven Great Forces and the Hell Sect had shocked the whole continent and attracted countless people's attention.
Zuo Zhicheng and Xu Hongfei casually found a corner to sit down and ordered a table full of dishes.
Suddenly, a loud and clear sound came from the hall. A bald man knocked over the bowl in a youth's hand with a kick. Then, he punched and kicked the youth on the ground. "Motherf * cker, little beggar, don't you know who I am? How dare you come to our Golden Tiger Escort Agency to beg for food?"
The people around him laughed. The little beggar was in tatters and his face was covered in dust. Although he was punched and kicked by the big man, he didn't dodge. Instead, he said stiffly, "I'm not a beggar. I just saw you finish eating …"
"Damn it, how dare you talk back." Several of the big man's companions also laughed and surrounded him.
It turned out that the young man saw that the big man and his companions were about to leave after eating, so he went to their table to eat some leftovers. When the big men saw him, they wanted to beat the young man up.
However, although the big men of the Golden Tiger Escort Agency punched and kicked him, the young man was still lying on the ground. He didn't want to dodge or scream.
Hearing the noise, Xu Hongfei frowned and looked at the big men who were laughing wildly. Unconsciously, he clenched his fists.
Zuo Zhicheng glanced at him and said indifferently, "You want to fight?" He poured a glass of wine and drank it. "These people are at the bottom of the jianghu. They came here for the treasure of the Underworld Sect. They don't have the strength, but they want to rely on luck to reach the top. Their lives are short and insignificant. In order to vent the depression in their hearts, they can only find someone weaker than themselves. "
"I don't have any objections if you want to do good deeds. This is also a kind of belief. Although it's narrow, it makes people more persistent. However, you have to bear the consequences yourself. Don't drag me down. "
After getting Zuo Zhicheng's approval, Xu Hongfei stood up immediately. He didn't use Indestructible. Instead, he clenched his fists and rushed over to fight with the big men. The people around immediately cheered, shouted, cheered, and cursed.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and violence.
Just as Xu Hongfei was fighting with the big men of the Golden Tiger Escort Agency, an ordinary-looking short and fat man sat opposite Zuo Zhicheng.
Zuo Zhicheng's eyes moved slightly. "I didn't expect … Besides Qing Yueyang, Qing Yueying, and He Zizai, you're the fourth strongest warrior in the Shadow Corps I've ever seen."
The fat man smiled like an honest farmer. "I can't help it. In a chaotic place like the Northern Wilderness, if you're not strong enough, you won't even know how you died."
Zuo Zhicheng didn't continue with the small talk. Instead, he said coldly, "Before tomorrow morning, I want six horses, food and water for two people for ten days, and a map to the Naruta Mountains."
"Don't worry, Sky Snake King. I've already prepared everything." As he spoke, he looked at Xu Hongfei who was beaten black and blue even though he had the upper hand. He said, "Sir, it's not suitable for you to fight in a place like this. Do you want me to step in?"
"No need, young man. There will always be times when he fights for justice." Zuo Zhicheng shook his head. "One day, he will understand that justice is never a kind of strength. Only strength can defend his justice."
