Tap, tap, tap —
The hooves of the horses were fast, and the dust rose from the road in waves.
The 28 riders were travel-worn as they galloped along the main road.
“This road leads to Tong Wu County. Chen Feng’s next stop is most likely here. I wonder if he has committed a cri yet.”
One of the middle-aged martial artists carrying a sword frowned and spoke. This person’s na was Yan Hanjun, and he was the sect master of the Green Lotus Sect. The martial artists called him the “Silver Moon Sword”, and he was quite famous in the southern parts.
“We set off from Ning Tian and chased for more than ten days. We should be able to intercept Chen Feng soon.”
Another burly man with iron rings on his arms spoke. This person was the Sect Master of the Sea Whale Sect, An Dafeng. His nickna was “Iron Hand Blood Shark”, and he was also a famous figure in the southern martial world.
“We’re finally catching up. Let’s kill this person as soon as possible and complete the orders of the lords. Hurry up and go back to report.”
A thin old man with a saber at his waist spoke energetically. This person was the Sect Master of Extre Celestial Sect, the fad Mystic Void Saber Lu Xilin.
The 28 riders were practically all famous experts of the martial world. They were either the leaders of a sect or famous figures of the martial world.
If a martial arts sect wanted to develop on the right path, they could not avoid currying favor with the nobles and finding an official backer. Therefore, when these martial artists received invitations from several families in Ning Tian, they did not dare to neglect them and treated this job seriously.
After all, any small amount from such a big shot was enough for them to enjoy.
Everyone was quite envious of Shen Sanqiu, who was leading the team. Not only did he curry favor with the nobles of the aristocratic families like them, but he also managed to get close to Perfected Master Windwalker through his disciples. There would be countless benefits waiting for him in the future.
“It’s already late today. We might not be able to reach the county city in ti. Let’s find a place to stay first.”
Shen Sanqiu looked up at the gradually turning yellow sky and turned around.
Everyone nodded without any objections.
The group slowed down and conserved their horsepower. After walking for four to five miles, they realized that the main road extended into a dirt road that led to a village inn. Everyone turned in that direction.
After walking for a while, a small shop ca into view. It was surrounded by a fence and was quite big.
The sound of drinking and boxing ca from the shop. It was quite lively, and it looked like business was booming.
The group led the horses forward, and a waiter quickly ca out to welco them and nodded.
“Esteed sirs, are you having a rest or staying over for the night?”
“Staying the night. Bring our mounts to the stables and take good care of them.”
Shen Sanqiu nodded.
When the waiter heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said carefully,
“Aiyo, Sirs, you ca at the wrong ti. Dozens of custors just arrived at the restaurant and occupied most of the rooms. Now, there are only three rooms left. Since there are more than 20 people in your group, it might be a little difficult…”
Seeing that this group of people were probably troubleso martial artists, he lowered his attitude and apologized repeatedly.
Hearing the commotion inside, Shen Sanqiu knew that the waiter was not lying. He asked, “Then are there any other shops nearby?”
The waiter’s tone was troubled, “Sir, we’re the only village shop in a radius of ten miles. There’s a village market more than 20 miles ahead, but it’s getting late. It’ll probably be dark by the ti you get there…”
When An Dafeng heard this, he frowned and said, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Sect Master Shen, let’s make do here for the night. I’ll get the people inside to share a few of their rooms and give them so silver in return.”
“Sounds good.”
Shen Sanqiu nodded.
“Sir, this…” The waiter was a little anxious.
The group of custors inside were also ard, so they were naturally not easy to deal with. He could not afford to offend either side, afraid that a conflict would break out.
Shen Sanqiu ignored him and asked everyone to tie the horses to the side before striding into the shop.
The lobby was filled with people. They were originally drinking happily, but when they heard soone enter, they turned around.
Shen Sanqiu and the others entered and observed the guests as well.
The shop fell silent for a mont as both sides sized each other up.
Everyone quickly realized that among the group in the shop, there were strong n, as well as sallow and thin farrs. They were all ard and did not look like they were people doing their jobs in society.
Shen Sanqiu glanced around and suddenly found a familiar face in the crowd. He opened his mouth in bewildernt,
“Lin Song? Why are you here?”
“Sect… Sect Master?!”
Lin Song’s eyes widened in surprise.
It was precisely Chen Feng and the others in the shop. They had also decided to find a place to eat and rest, and had just arrived not long ago.
Hearing this, Guo Haishen and the others were surprised and sized up Shen Sanqiu in surprise.
“This is the expert known as the Number One Sword in Jiangchun?”
Fang Zhen sized him up curiously.
Shen Sanqiu could not figure out where this group of people ca from. He frowned and stared at Lin Song before berating, “Didn’t you go to Lu River to escort so property? Why haven’t you returned to the sect yet?”
Lin Song ca back to his senses and revealed a terrified expression. He subconsciously looked at Chen Feng.
At this mont, Chen Feng turned to face the door and looked at Shen Sanqiu, “You’re the sect master of the Wu Mountain Sect? What a coincidence to et you here.”
Currently, he was still in placent mode, as Zhou Jing had not personally descended.
Hearing this, Shen Sanqiu and the others could not help but turn to look at him. They realized that this person’s muscles were bulging, and his murderous aura overflowed. His face was quite familiar.
Chen Feng?!
Everyone imdiately recognized his facial features, and their expressions changed slightly.
Over the past few days, the various surrounding governnts had increased the intensity of Chen Feng’s wanted posters. The accuracy of the wanted portraits had also increased. Now, they were quite similar to Chen Feng, so it was not difficult to recognize him.
The group did not expect to et their target in the village shop. They quietly looked at each other and secretly exchanged glances.
Shen Sanqiu did not understand why his disciple was with Chen Feng. Could it be that he had fallen into a trap?
