On the mountain road, people from the Twelve Divine Palaces suddenly appeared. They were not passing by by chance, but were heading straight for the convoy of the Zhengxing Escort Agency!
The old guard Zhao was about to cry but had no tears, and the faces of the others were also pale with fright.
"The carriage is just some escort goods..."
Hearing what Old Bodyguard Zhao said, the body-refining maniac who was leading the speech from the Twelve Divine Palaces frowned slightly. He glanced around Old Bodyguard Zhao and others and glanced at the big box on top of the motorcade.
At this time, Mr. Zhao took out a bag of silver from his arms, with a total of six taels of silver and eighty copper plates left in it.
The old escort handed it over cautiously, and the body-refining madman reached out to take it and asked immediately.
"Are they really just ordinary goods?"
Hearing this, the old escort seemed to see hope and nodded in agreement.
The body-refining madman smiled sternly, revealing his sharp white teeth.
"Then it doesn't matter if you take a look."
After he finished speaking, he threw the money bag aside with a wave of his hand and started to walk forward.
The old escort opened his mouth and stared, then quickly spread his hands to stop him.
"Master God, you must not do it. There is a seal on it. You must not tear it off until you go to the place to inspect the goods. It will be difficult for us to do this! Please be kind and don't embarrass me again!"
"The old escort begged.
However, this body-refining madman seemed not to hear anything, and took a step forward as usual. The next second, Old Guard Zhao felt as if he had been hit hard on the head, and his whole body flew out, hitting the person at the back of the team.
On top of a carriage.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, Mr. Zhao smashed the entire carriage into pieces. A burst of smoke and dust rose up on the spot, and many large white stones rolled out and scattered all over the ground.
Everyone present was stunned by this sudden situation. When they turned around, they saw that Mr. Zhao's whole body was buried in the stone, with only one blood-stained arm still outside.
"Quick...run..."
The hand of Mr. Zhao tried his best to grab something, but after saying the last three words, he finally hung down feebly, and died on the spot buried under rubble.
"Uncle Zhao!!!!" Li Yu's eyes were about to burst and his voice was broken.
Ahead, the body-refining madman from the shrine squinted his eyes. When he saw these white stones, he recognized what they were at the first sight.
"Okay, how dare you escort the saltpeter privately!" the body-refining madman shouted angrily.
While he was talking, a strong man came from behind and happened to see this scene.
He never expected that chasing down a real person named Ziyin would also lead him to smuggle saltpeter. Although this was not within the scope of his mission, since it was something explicitly prohibited by the Twelve Gods Palace, he would not have encountered such a person.
That’s okay too.
He immediately said, "Keep one alive and kill the rest."
In an instant, eight body-refining maniacs who were in the ninth level of body-refining took action, and instantly came to the escort office. With just a raise of their hands, they could beat a living person into blood foam. In less than a blink of an eye, eight escort masters were dead.
No whole body!
They are only at the second level of body refining, and in the hands of this group of people, they are no different than ants!
"Xiaoqing, run!!!!"
Li Yu roared, and he and Bodyguard Sun both pushed out their palms, pushing Li Qing away, and fell straight into the vast forest.
The next second, the two of them were beaten to pieces by a ninth-level body-refining madman and died on the spot. The red flag of the Zhengxing Escort Bureau behind them also quietly fell down.
.....
In the mountain forest, Xie Changyuan was riding on the back of a big green bull, walking leisurely.
With an expressionless face, he wandered in the mountains and forests all night, hoping to encounter a valuable beast, kill it and sell it. After all, the problem he faced now was that he had no money.
Without money, he could not take out the sword from the blacksmith shop.
That night, he wandered back and forth in the mountains and forests, not to mention valuable beasts, not even a damn hair on them!
Thinking about the six taels of silver that Li Qing planned to give him yesterday, he still regretted not taking it.
After walking around in the forest for a long time, Xie Changyuan also felt numb. Seeing that the big green cow under his seat was also tired, he turned over, untied the fodder hanging next to it, and threw it on the ground for the big green cow to chew on himself.
Xie Changyuan himself searched around and finally pulled out a few wild cassava roots.
"I didn't expect that I, Xie Changyuan, would be here today." Xie Changyuan shook his head.
He found a mountain stream, rinsed the cassava with mountain spring water, then returned to the original place to pick up some dry firewood to light a fire, then skewered the cassava with peeled branches and inserted it next to the flame.
Xie Changyuan squatted next to the fire, holding his chin with one hand, waiting silently for the cassava to roast, turning it over from time to time. The forest was very quiet, so quiet that there was only the crackling sound of firewood. Sometimes when the flames became smaller, he would turn them over again.
Add some firewood.
At this time, Xie Changyuan was lamenting why it took so long to bake cassava.
.....
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a slender figure jumped out of the woods and ran away in the direction of the dense woods. The man was crying while running, as if he had experienced something extremely sad.
She ran around with her head lowered, her long legs moving rapidly, and her running speed was no less than that of a wild wolf in the forest. She ran more than thirty meters in a flash.
Xie Changyuan raised his head and saw a figure flashing in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that Li Qing was running away like crazy, and he looked very embarrassed. It was probably because of the emergency that he didn't notice Xie Changyuan who was roasting potatoes at all.
Xie Changyuan just raised his head and glanced up. After seeing the person clearly, he lowered his head expressionlessly and continued to observe his roasted cassava.
Not long after Li Qing ran out, eight ninth-level body-training madmen also followed him. Their expressions were playful, and they looked at Li Qing who ran some distance ahead and were not in a hurry to chase after him.
They were enjoying each other's fear, and they would not really chase her until she thought she had escaped and ascended to heaven. They believed that the desperate look in her eyes would not disappoint them.
Suddenly, they all turned their heads and saw Xie Changyuan who was roasting cassava.
This man had a strong build, one eye and one arm, and an extraordinary bearing. Even if eight of them appeared here, they did not let him raise his head to look at him. Everyone subconsciously became solemn and looked at Xie Changyuan with sharp eyes.
One breath...two breaths...three breaths...Time passed quietly, and the eight body-refining madmen still stood there and stared at Xie Changyuan. The air seemed quiet, and only the flames in front of Xie Changyuan were still beating.
Suddenly, Xie Changyuan stretched his hand forward. This move made the eight body-refining madmen shrink their pupils and clenched their fists to take action.
However, Xie Changyuan just stretched out his hand and turned the cassava around without making any unnecessary moves. He didn't even raise his head from beginning to end. His movements were natural and without any decoration.
Everyone stood still for a while before the leader said something.
"Keep chasing, so as not to cause trouble."
Then everyone left.
On the spot, Xie Changyuan turned his head and glanced at the backs of the eight people as they left. He felt that the blue uniforms of the Twelve Divine Palaces they were wearing were too eye-catching.
