The carriage, after leaving the city, slowly traveled along the official road, with the Capital City fading into the horizon.
......

......
"Big brother, they’re coming, they’re coming."
In the lush green forests, a group of bandits wearing straw hats suddenly stirred, their attention drawn to the slowly approaching carriage team from afar. One of the bandits imdiately nudged soone next to him and whispered a reminder.
"Do you really need to tell that? Are we blind?"
The leader slapped the inforr on the head, his eyes glaring. The reporting bandit pursed his lips but did not dare to retort.
"Brothers, charge with !"
The leader spat, squinting as he watched the approaching team. Suddenly, with a low roar, the bandits ambushed within the woods suddenly howled and charged forward.
"Ambush!!"
The disciples from Pine View saw the attackers first and imdiately let out a warning shout to those behind them.
"Whinny~"
In an instant, the sound of horses neighing arose as the twenty-six guarding disciples imdiately took up their long spears, maneuvered their steeds, and arranged themselves into a large Formation to protect the team.
"Whoosh~"
A fierce silhouette shot out from within the group, moving swiftly like a shadow into the midst of the bandits, sweeping his long sword. In an instant, sword qi crisscrossed, leaving more than twenty bandits dead or wounded in a single breath.
"Stop your violence, taste my blade!"
Seeing the ferocity of their opponent, the lead bandit shouted and, with eyes bulging like copper bells, charged furiously towards Chen Yue with his blade raised.
"Clang clang~"
In an instant, sword clashed with blade, sending forth a continuous ringing of tal. However, realizing he was no match, two other powerful bandits cried out to support their leader.
"Big brother, don’t panic, your second and third brothers are here!"
The second-in-command and third-in-command joined the fray with a shout, wielding their sabers fiercely. The mont they joined the battle, the three of them ford a Formation, montarily holding off Chen Yue’s fierce assault.
"Whinny~ Clip-clop, clip-clop~"
Seeing that they had beco deadlocked, thirteen disciples from Qingsong Sect quickly split off, riding tall horses and carrying long spears, rushing forward like the wind while maintaining a Formation in the process.
"Sizzle..."
With the strike of the thirteen, a formidable force erupted, and despite the bandits’ overwhelming numbers, they were scattered and defeated.
"Don’t act so fierce, let’s see what you’ve got."
Another five individuals sprang forth from the bandit crowd, their might impressive. Together with the surrounding lackeys, they managed to hold a draw against the thirteen Pine View disciples.
"Ha!"
Suddenly, two more figures dashed out from among the bandits, joining their leader, second-in-command, and third-in-command in the battle against Chen Yue alone.
With these two, the strength of the leader’s Formation increased, and for a mont, they managed to fight Chen Yue to a standstill.
"I’ll go take a look."
Xu Jin, positioned at the forefront among them, seeing the situation ahead, knew the remaining thirteen disciples shouldn’t move rashly. They were needed as the base force for defense. So, after giving instructions, he gestured to those behind him, lifted his long sword, and charged forward explosively.
"Whoosh~"
Xu Jin’s movents were twice as fast as Chen Yue’s. In almost three breaths’ ti, he was close to Chen Yue, ready to deliver a deadly blow to the five bandit leaders who had ford the Formation.
But just then, suddenly.
"Sizzle..."
In an instant, nine clusters of snowflakes violently erupted from the thick snow on both sides of the carriages, and a total of nine figures clad in white, like swift arrows, ferociously assaulted the procession.
Walking at the forefront, Xu Jin suddenly found himself beside a figure in white. His face changed imdiately, and he quickly changed direction. The long sword in his hand brought forth a mysterious and powerful light, unleashing a fierce sword energy, as he savagely slashed towards the incoming assassin.
"Ding."
The long sword in Wang Hengliang’s hand blocked an assassin’s strike from the left without any fanfare. He then swiftly turned his body and launched another vicious stab, intercepting the second assassin’s long sword.
He, the strongest expert on the caravan, found himself facing off against two equally formidable opponents in an instant—they were both set on taking him down together!
"Ding ding dang, whoosh~"
With fluid movents, Wang Hengliang’s sword danced in his hands, clashing fiercely with the attacking assassins dozens of tis in a mont, producing a bright and sharp sword light.
"Heave, ha!"
Shouts from Liu Wu and Liu Zhuang ca from behind Wang Hengliang, as white-cloaked assassins similarly surged towards each of them!
In the midst of their roars, Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu’s chain hamrs crashed against the iron rods in their opponents’ hands. The counterforce they t was only slightly weaker than their own, despite the weight of Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu’s heavy weapons, which shocked them. Their expressions shifted as they were about to swing their chain hamrs again, but the stick-wielding assassins continued their ferocious attacks.
"Whoosh~"
From behind the carriages, two stealthy, black-clothed assassins wielding long swords launched a fearso assault towards the carriage where Liu Qingshi was seated, forcing him to grab his long sword and rush out to defend himself.
"Ding ding dang..."
In that mont, swords collided wildly, sparking a flurry of fire. Liu Qingshi, sandwiched between two assassins, remained unflustered, his swordplay matching his foes, blow for blow.
However, at that mont, the two assassins suddenly shifted their attack to Wang Guangyun in the front carriage and the carriage behind him.
As for the accompanying carriage behind Liu Qingshi, they completely ignored the guards as if they weren’t even there.
"Clang!"
With a fierce expression, Wang Guangyun swung his long sword, unleashing a devastating sword light. The ferocious clash sent the attacking assassin flying. He imdiately moved to reinforce the individuals inside the carriage, but it was already too late.
The white-clad assassins had already charged into the carriage.
"Heave!"
The actions of Wang Guangyun seed to trigger a chain reaction. The assassin he had flung away simultaneously struck towards the carriage, as the assassins in front of Liu Wu and Liu Zhuang also attacked the carriage behind them.
"Get back here!"
Liu Zhuang, alongside the carriage, roared furiously, his chain hamr whistling as he struck at his adversary.
On the other side, Liu Wu, without uttering a word, clenched his teeth, and his chain hamr also howled as it flew out.
"Ssst..."
The formidable chain hamrs roared through the air with a heavy swoosh, but the assassins aiming for the carriage dodged the attacks with a strangely agile movent, continuing their assault.
The watching Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu opened their eyes wide. The smiling assassins decisively charged into the carriage.
But in the next mont, their expressions changed as they frantically retreated.
"Clang clang, clatter..."
Inside the carriage, the sound of swords clashing echoed as a handso young man in green clothing, gritting his teeth, fended off the assassins before suddenly retreating backward.
The attackers and the surrounding spectators all changed their expressions and withdrew without hesitation.
"Where do you think you’re going?"
The smiles reerged on Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu’s faces as they laughed and swung their chain hamrs, entangling the escaping assassins. The rest of the attackers struggled to get away, entangled by those among the ranks of the caravan.
Even Zhao Xiu clenched her teeth and held her ground against her opponent.
"Here it cos, where do you think you’re going?"
Suddenly, Li Ming’s figure appeared behind the assassin fighting Zhao Xiu. With a bright smile on his face, he said, the next mont his long sword thrust forward fiercely.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
