Outside the imperial city, five people, Lu Chen, Ming Jingting, Ning Xiaochuan, Ming Aoao, and Gu Sisi, each rode a tall horse shaped like a lion, with a pair of black wings growing under their flanks, emitting black light.
This is a lion-winged horse owned by the Qingyun Kingdom. It can fly five thousand miles in one day.
They are leaving the Qingyun Kingdom and heading to the Central Continent.
Everyone who knew Lu Chen, including Dongfang Longba, Di Jingtian, Huo Lao, Lu Qingke, Nalan Hou, Nalan Xiaoxiao, Qiao Duan, Mu Wanchen, Yin Ge and others came to see him off;
In addition to them, there are thousands of people in the imperial capital, all of whom are cheering: "Young Master Lu, go slowly!"
Dongfang Longba smiled and said: "Lu Chen, the Central Continent is not as good as our Qingyun Kingdom. If you go there, you have to keep a low profile. As for the Lu family, you can rest assured that as long as I, the Qingyun Royal Family, are here, no one can harm you."
To the Lu family."
"Chen'er, take care along the way. Good men are everywhere. Grandpa believes in you." Lu Tianxing was reluctant to let Lu Chen leave, but said with a smile on his face.
"Grandpa." Lu Chen stepped forward and saluted Grandpa Lu Tianxing, his voice choked with sobs. "You should also take care. After I establish myself in the Central Continent, I will come back and take you all to the Central Continent."
"Okay, grandpa, wait." Lu Tianxing smiled.
Marquis Nalan said earnestly next to him: "Lu Chen, there are so many powerful people in the Central Continent that we cannot match. If you cause trouble everywhere, no one will come to save you."
Mu Wanchen warned: "After you go there, you must work hard to practice first. It is best to wait until you break through the Wuji realm before going to the ghost tribe to find Guiyao'er."
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded. He knew that Nalan Hou and the others cared about him.
Nalan Xiaoxiao, Gongsun Xingyue, Qiao Xue, Fang Ting, and Jiya all looked at Lu Chen with mixed emotions.
Lu Chen swept over them one by one, recalling the scenes he experienced in the Qingyun Kingdom, and laughed loudly: "Everyone, farewell." He showed his free and easy attitude, like a swordsman singing loudly,
Walk away in a leisurely manner.
"Farewell!"
Ning Xiaochuan, Ming Jingting, and Gu Sisi also handed over. Only Ming Guoao said goodbye to Guo Min. The latter's face turned red and said: "Brother Ming, I will come to you after I reach the Eight Extremes Realm.
.”
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Ming Ao proudly said seriously.
Lu Chen and others looked at this pair of crazy men and resentful women, but did not bother them.
After a long time of pride, he turned over and sat on the lion-winged horse and said: "Young Master Lu, let's go."
"Set off!"
Lu Chen swung his long whip and hit the lion-winged horse with a snap. The latter stretched its neck and hissed, spread its wings, breathed, and flew up into the sky.
Ning Xiaochuan and four others were behind.
"Phew, the devil is finally gone."
"Yes, after he leaves, our big families can live a peaceful life."
"You're so right. I hope this kid never comes back."
The heads of the Ximen family, the Shen family, the Zhan family, and the Xing family, and their children stood in the distance, watching Lu Chen's leaving figure. Everyone had a look of joy on their faces, because they were really pressed too hard by Lu Chen.
, now finally liberated.
"This kid is finally gone." Di Jingtian sighed.
"It seems that the Emperor's Pavilion Master is very reluctant to part with him." Nalan Hou said with a smile.
"The devil can't bear to let him go? Are you, old Valley Master, in a different mood than me now?" Di Jingtian waved his sleeves and asked with a smile.
"You're right. If that kid really stays and doesn't leave, I really don't know what kind of trouble we, Yaowang Valley, will get from him." Nalan Hou heard this and stroked his beard and laughed.
Dongfang Longba and others burst out laughing when they saw this, so why didn't he and others have the same mentality?
…
Under the golden sunlight, five lion-winged horses galloped, dragging long black lights in mid-air.
"Master Lu, why do I feel that they were so happy to see us leave?" Ning Xiaochuan asked casually.
"What Mr. Ning said, I think it really makes sense." Lu Chen said, touching his chin.
"No way? Aren't they reluctant for us to leave just now?" Ming Aoao asked, scratching his head.
"Humph, brother Lu Chen, you have the nerve to say it. You can calculate for yourselves. Apart from the royal family, including the Holy Hall, Yaowang Valley, Tianbao Pavilion and other major families, which one has not been harmed by you?" Ming Jingting snorted.
said.
"Yeah." Gu Sisi nodded cooperatively.
"Really? Why don't I think so?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.
"Why not?" Ming Jingting said angrily.
"When I think about it, it seems like this is really the case." Ning Xiaochuan scratched his head and said.
"Haha, let's go, let us, Third Young Master Qingyun, go harm those superpowers in the Central Continent, those proud men of heaven." Lu Chen laughed.
"Yes! Let them see how powerful our Third Young Master Qingyun is." Ming Aoyao and Ning Xiaochuan both nodded.
Unfortunately, there is a gap between ideal and reality. What awaits them ahead is not the Mid-Continent with numerous forces and strong men, but a hopeless, scorching desert.
After walking for more than half a month, they did not see the end of the desert.
There is not even a drop of water here;
The five lion-winged horses also died of thirst.
Although Lu Chen and the other five had reserved a certain amount of water, they never expected that this desert would be so vast, with not even a trace of green vegetation, but only an endless stretch of golden desert.
"Oh my God, when will we be able to go out?" Ning Xiaochuan had long hair shawl, holding a folding fan in his hand, fair skin and handsome appearance. He looked like a handsome man, but now he was sweating profusely, with a gray face, and was crying.
The look of shouting to the ground.
"No water, no water, still no water." Ming proudly had a strong body, and his eyes were like bells. He looked around, but he showed a disappointed expression, and his thick lips were already chapped.
Ming Jingting and Gu Sisi supported each other, looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and then looked at the endless desert in front of them. They both looked at Lu Chen in frustration and said: "Brother Lu Chen, will we die here?"
?”
"Don't worry, we won't die here. The beautiful Central Continent is still waiting for us to visit." Lu Chen was covered in dust, very embarrassed, and his mood was very heavy, because the food and water could only sustain him.
It’s been a few days;
But when he looked at Ning Xiaochuan and others, he still had a smile on his face and said, "Let's just regard this as God's test for us."
"Yes, that must be the case."
Ning Xiaochuan and the other four nodded helplessly when they heard this.
After walking for another seven days, all the food and water they brought were used up.
At this moment, the five of them all looked unkempt and their faces were covered with dust. It was almost difficult to see their appearance clearly except for a pair of eyes that were moving around. In addition, their lips were dry and cracked due to long-term lack of water.
.
"Dead, we are doomed this time." Ning Xiaochuan scolded with a wry smile on his face, 'I never thought that I, Ning Xiaochuan, who is so handsome and graceful, with trees facing the wind, would one day die of hunger and thirst in this desert.'
Lu Chen and the four of them looked at each other with no color at all.
"Ring, ring, ring..." Just when several people were about to despair, the sound of bells suddenly came from the rear left, and then a long caravan appeared in the sight of several people, with several flags fluttering in the wind.
There is a beautiful fire phoenix painted on it.
There were warriors on both sides of the caravan. They were riding camels, fully armed, and guarding a tall, elegant chariot moving at high speed.
"The caravan is a chamber of commerce!"
Ning Xiaochuan and others cheered, and Lu Chen also had a smile on his face, but the smile only lasted for a moment and quickly froze;
Because behind the Chamber of Commerce, there was an extremely terrifying storm approaching at a very fast speed. There were several tornadoes in it, connecting the world and filling it with destructive power.
"No, it's a storm."
Both Ming Jingting and Gu Sisi are perverts.
Ning Xiaochuan and Ming Aoyao were also stunned, and then showed an almost desperate expression on their faces;
They were all exhausted, and once this terrifying storm rolled over them, it would almost kill them.
"Stop, please stop."
They hurriedly shouted to the chamber of commerce.
"Save us."
Ming Jingting and Gu Sisi both shouted.
Lu Chen hurriedly shouted with all his strength: "Lu Chen, here are some of my friends. We have run out of food and water, and we are all exhausted. Now there is a storm. Please help us with your caravan."
A handful."
The warriors on both sides of the caravan were a little hesitant, because they all knew very well that based on the situation of these people in front of them, there was absolutely no chance of survival once the storm came.
"Let's go, leave them alone." But a cold, condescending voice came from the classical chariot, revealing his disdain for the lives of Lu Chen and others.
"yes!"
The warriors all nodded.
Lu Chen and others looked desperate when they saw this, and Gu Sisi cried: "Don't leave!"
"Wait a minute, Steward Feng Xuan, go and bring them over. Besides, this storm is too terrifying and we can't escape it. Let all the guards surround the camels immediately and wait for the storm to pass before leaving."
Perhaps it was Gu Sisi's pleading that had an effect. A voice came out from the chariot again. It was a woman's voice. Her voice was soft and slow, as if it was a whisper from the sky. Lu Chen and others were shocked and felt desperate.
Like getting sweet rain.
"Whoosh!"
An old man of medium height, with gray hair, wearing a gray robe, with a phoenix painted on his chest, walked out of the chariot, spread out his hands, and flew towards Lu Chen and the others like a crane.
But when he rolled up his big hand, a ray of silver light flew out, wrapped around the waists of Lu Chen and the other five people like a rope, flew up, and landed under the chariot.
At the same time, hundreds of guards descended on the desert floor, leading all the camels together and surrounding the chariots painted with phoenix patterns to withstand the terrible storm.
When Lu Chen and others saw this, they hurriedly raised their hands and thanked him: "Thank you, miss, and thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace."
"You guys hide first and wait until the storm passes." Feng Xuan said calmly.
The sound of "rumbling" suddenly came, and a terrifying sandstorm was coming. The entire desert seemed to be trembling and shaking violently. Lu Chen and others were so frightened that they nodded hurriedly and crawled under the chariot.
"Huhuhu..." The sandstorm was fierce, rolling up tons of yellow sand, shaped like a yellow city wall, and pressing down like an overwhelming mountain, making the desert rumble, and the camels neighed while pulling on the ropes. If it weren't for those guards
He held on tightly, but he had already been swept away by the sandstorm.
But despite this, dozens of camels and dozens of guards were still picked up by the sandstorm, thrown into the air, and then directly torn into pieces. Blood rain fell down, and they were swallowed up by the storm before they even hit the ground.
Blood stains the yellow sand;
The scene was horrifying to the extreme.
Ming Jingting and Gu Sisi squatted on the ground, their little bodies trembling. Lu Chen quickly spread his arms to protect them from the wind and sand.
After a long time, the powerful storm blew away, but the sky was still full of yellow sand. The lingering wind blew and filled the air with sand, making it difficult for them to open their eyes.
After a long tea time, the wind and sand gradually subsided.
"Okay, the sandstorm has passed."
The old man in gray robe, Feng Xuan, stood up. After looking around and speaking, his eyes fell on Lu Chen and the others. He took out a kettle from the storage ring and threw it to them and said, "Take it."
"Thank you, thank you."
Lu Chen took the kettle in his hand, with a grateful expression on his face. However, he was not in a hurry to drink it himself. Instead, he gave it to Ming Jingting and Gu Sisi first, then to Ning Xiaochuan and Ming Aoao, and finally to Ning Xiaochuan and Ming Aoao.
