Deputy Palace Master
White clouds drifted leisurely, and a gentle breeze blew.
On the wide official road, two horses galloped past. Their speed was so fast that it was as if they were fleeting, stirring up clouds of dust.
The riders were an old man and a young man. Both of them were dressed in black, giving off a travel-worn feeling.
These two people were naturally Chu Xingyun and Lin Tianchong.
It had been two days since they left the Imperial City.
In these two days, the two traveled day and night without stopping at all. Finally, they were about to reach West Wind City.
"After passing through this valley, we can see West Wind City. Where is the Spirit Beast egg that you mentioned?" Lin Tianchong slowed down slightly and asked Chu Xingyun.
Lin Tianchong knew that Chu Xingchen was sealed, and also knew how important the Spirit Awakening Grass was.
At first, Lin Tianchong thought that Chu Xingyun would directly head to the Sky Flame Mountain Range without wasting a second. But Chu Xingyun said that he would stay in West Wind City for a while to deal with some trivial matters.
This immediately piqued Lin Tianchong's curiosity.
After a round of questioning, Chu Xingyun told Lin Tianchong about the Spirit Beast egg, which gave Lin Tianchong a huge shock.
As a super expert who had been famous for a long time, Lin Tianchong had traveled all over the Northern Wilderness Region. What he had seen and heard could be said to be extensive and profound. He had seen many rare items, but he had never heard of a Spirit Beast egg that could spit out Spirit Liquid.
Now, West Wind City was right in front of him. The curiosity in his heart grew stronger, and he was somewhat impatient.
"After going around the valley, you can see a lonely peak called the Hidden Dragon Peak. The Spirit Beast egg is there." Chu Xingyun pointed to the front, but his eyes secretly glanced back, and a trace of coldness appeared on his face.
"What? You noticed it too? "Lin Tianchong noticed Chu Xingyun's expression and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear him.
"Not long after we left the Imperial City, they have been following us. Judging from their auras, their strength is not weak and they are extremely cautious. It seems like the Dreamy Cloud Martial House really wants to kill me." Chu Xingyun withdrew his gaze and casually said.
With his perception, it was a piece of cake for him to discover that someone was following him.
This group of people had followed them closely for two days from the Imperial City to this place. They had maintained a considerable distance from them and were extremely patient.
At first, Chu Xingyun thought that the other party was Qin Tianfeng's people who were ordered to kill them. Until Chu Xingyun felt an extremely familiar aura among this group of people.
It was at that moment that Chu Xingyun determined the other party's identity.
"Should we make a move?" Lin Tianchong coldly asked. The feeling of being followed so closely made him very uncomfortable.
"This is the official road and there are many people. If we make a move, we might expose our identities. Let them continue to follow us. It won't be too late to make a move when we reach the Hidden Dragon Peak."
Chu Xingyun glanced around and waved his whip. The two of them continued to ride their horses towards the Hidden Dragon Peak.
While the two of them were hurrying, six figures suddenly rushed out from a hidden forest behind them.
These six figures were dressed in black and their auras were restrained. Their cold eyes were staring at the direction Chu Xingyun left in. They did not say a word and maintained absolute silence.
After Chu Xingyun and Lin Tianchong left, one of the figures stood out and took off his mask, revealing a handsome face.
However, this face was currently in a rage. His eyebrows sank and he said in a cold voice, "Where are these two going? It has been two days and they have no intention of stopping."
The person who spoke was actually Yin Ruochen.
That day, Yin Tiancheng gathered all the elders of the Martial House. After a discussion, he selected six people to accompany them to assassinate Chu Xingyun. Yin Ruochen was among the six people.
"No matter where they are going, they will die in our hands in the end. Since they are already dead, why should we be angry because of them?" At this moment, an old voice was heard.
A white-haired old man slowly walked out from behind Yin Ruochen. He held a wooden staff in his hand and his eyes were turbid as if he would die of old age at any time.
The other four figures were the elders of the Yunmeng Martial House. When they saw this old man walk out, they bowed in unison. They behaved very respectfully and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Even the arrogant Yin Ruochen restrained his anger and said in a low voice, "Elder Mo, this Chu Xingyun is very crafty. I am afraid that he will secretly do something, so I want to kill him as soon as possible to prevent any accidents. Moreover, I have never seen the old man beside Chu Xingyun. I don't know what kind of expert he is."
The old man that Yin Ruochen was talking about was naturally Lin Tianchong.
"Expert?"
Hearing Yin Ruochen's words, the white-haired old man was stunned at first. Then, he laughed sinisterly and said, "The old man you are talking about has no cultivation and his body is very weak. He is just an ordinary person. How can he be an expert?"
"But according to my understanding of Chu Xingyun, he can't …"
Yin Ruochen frowned. Before he could finish, the white-haired old man interrupted him and said unhappily, "Then according to what you said, you don't believe in my perception?"
"Ruochen doesn't dare!" Yin Ruochen's heart skipped a beat. He quickly bowed and did not dare to say another word.
The white-haired old man in front of him was called Mo Zuo. He was the vice master of the Yunmeng Martial House.
His cultivation was very high. He had reached the Second Sky of Heaven Spirit Realm. In the Yunmeng Martial House, he was second only to Yin Tiancheng.
This Mo Zuo's Wu Ling was very strange. It had a grey eye.
As long as he activated the Wu Ling, nothing within a few miles could escape his perception. At the same time, he could lock onto other people's traces and make it impossible for them to escape.
Yin Tiancheng sent Mo Zuo this time to kill Chu Xingyun without fail. After all, the Second Sky of Heaven Spirit Realm was considered the peak combat power in the Liuyun Dynasty.
Once he made a move, Chu Xingyun would die without a doubt!
"When we left the Imperial City, I heard your father mention Chu Xingyun many times. I know how vicious his methods are, but in the face of absolute power, all methods are useless. The reason why I didn't make a move two days ago was because I didn't know their background. Now, I can be sure that other than the two of them, there are no other experts protecting them."
"Wait until they pass through West Wind City, and enter a place where there is no sign of human habitation, then we can act at any time. An old servant without any cultivation, and a brat at the seventh layer of spirit gathering, to kill them, is simply easier than killing two ants."
