"I, we are from the Modern rcenary Corps, and the man who just died was our leader." At this ti, an elderly man walked out from the crowd.
"Modern rcenary Corps? Never heard of it," Xing Kong said, tilting his head.
"We’re just a small rcenary group, always operating in the vicinity of Gordon City and Moyun Village."
"Who commissioned you this ti? Speak!" Xing Kong swung his great sword, and a gust of wind swept across, causing the rcenaries in front of him to involuntarily step back several paces.
"We, we were hired by..."
"Trying to run!"
Yu Ye, who had been closely watching the surroundings, let out a sharp scold, her body flashing through the air, and imdiately a pig-like scream ca from the dense bushes behind. In no ti, Yu Ye kicked a huge figure out from the bushes.
"Bang!" The figure hit the ground, and the coach also gently shook with the earth.
"It’s you!" Su Su naturally recognized this person, no, it should be said, this pig.
"Gegdan, you swine! You actually dared to hire an assassin!" Su Su threw a fireball at Gegdan, who couldn’t dodge, resulting in another pig-like scream.
"Since you all are here on soone else’s behalf, then leave this place!" You glared, and the rcenaries didn’t dare to stay any longer, scattering like birds and beasts, leaving the place completely deserted within monts.
"Pig, how does that saying go. ’There is a road to Heaven, but you don’t take it; there is no door to Hell, yet you break in anyway,’ eh?"
"Hero, Hero, don’t kill , please, really don’t kill !" Gegdan kept kowtowing to you, "I have money, I have a lot of money, I have it right here, I’ll give it to you, I’ll give..."
However, when Gegdan was about to take money out of his silk clothing pocket, he found that his clothes had been burnt away to almost nothing, and those legendary bank checks had turned to ash.
"I, I... I don’t want to die!!! You." Gegdan’s head was already bloody from kowtowing, yet you approached without a change of expression, with Tusks drawing a beautiful arc in the air, followed by blood splattering. Gegdan’s head was effortlessly severed by you, his eyes wide with disbelief at how quickly death had co.
"You, you..." Gegdan seed to want to say sothing, but what greeted him was a fireball. Su Su, with tears in her eyes, threw herself into your arms, and there was a touch of tenderness on your face as you gently held her.
"It’s okay, it’s all over now."
"Mu Yun, thank you," Su Su hugged you tightly, not sure whether her heart felt gratitude, emotion, joy, or that indescribable warmth.
"Mu Yun, this guy seems to have so background, how do you plan to deal with him?"
"et the enemy with force, cover water with earth, when have I ever been afraid of anyone? I killed this pig, it has nothing to do with you. If there truly is a problem, I’ll take it on myself."
"What a joke, you actually want to hog such a thrilling event all to yourself, damn it, aren’t you lacking brotherhood."
Xing Kong slapped your shoulder, his face sporting a sun-like radiant smile. This ti, Yu Ye surprisingly didn’t rebut, looking at you with the sa smile.
"Since that’s the case, we needn’t say more. Let’s bury this pig and then continue on our way."
"No need, just roast it. The night wolves will naturally co to eat it at night, and they’ll clean up quite thoroughly." As Xing Kong said this, he used his sword to pitch Gegdan’s corpse onto a pile of grass. Then, turning to Su Su, he said, "I see you have a grudge against him, so you should deliver the final blow. Be careful with the fire, we don’t want to burn down the entire forest."
"I know." Su Su cast two fireballs towards the grass, which burst into flas upon contact. The raging fire quickly engulfed Gegdan’s corpse.
"Let’s go."
You didn’t want to linger, so you told Su Su, Yu Ye, and Xing Kong to get into the carriage, while you and Xing Kong took on the coachman’s role.
The four of you drove the carriage, swaying and bumping, towards Moyun Village.
After a day of exhausting travel by carriage, you steered around a small mountain peak and entered a valley.
Looking up, the sight before him elicited a great sigh of admiration: he saw an odd red cloud floating in the sky in the distance, resembling a burning fla. The valley’s gentle breeze was unusually warm against his face.
"That’s Moyun Village," Yu Ye pointed out, indicating the area beneath the red cloud.
"That cloud is strange; although it’s so far away, I can still feel an extrely vast and strong fluctuation of fire elent energy."
"There’s a legend about Moyun Village that deep inside that enchanted cloud lives a Fire Phoenix." Su Su erged from the carriage and sat next to you, staring at the distant, fiery Moyun cloud, "We are too far away to see it. Actually, Moyun isn’t simply floating in the air; beneath it, there’s a Fla Passage."
"Does that an people can enter Moyun through the passage?" Xing Kong asked.
Su Su shook her head gently, gave you a glance, and continued: "Unfortunately, the Fla Passage is inhabited by countless Violent Fire Elents. Besides their own kind, no other thing can approach."
"The road here is much better than before. Everyone get in the carriage, I’m going to speed up." You beckoned Su Su and Yu Ye into the carriage, then with a snap of the whip, the two horses in front of the carriage started to gallop faster.
When you entered the valley, you estimated that you could reach Moyun Village before nightfall. However, by the ti darkness completely fell, Moyun Village was still hovering high above the clouds, though it appeared much larger than before, and the Fla Passage Su Su spoke of beca gradually visible, though still very far away.
Night fell, and the four of you made a fire and set up camp beside the road.
After eating dry rations with water, you clapped your hands, stood up, and said, "Just like last night, Su Su and Yu Ye rest in the carriage, while I and Xing Kong take turns keeping watch."
"No need, you’ve been driving for two days without much rest, you must be tired. Let and Xing Kong take the watch tonight, you and Su Su go rest in the carriage. Su Su is rather delicate, she can’t handle staying up all night."
Hearing that he could stay up with Yu Ye, Xing Kong eagerly nodded his head. Even if you refused, he would tie you up and throw you onto the carriage.
Trusting in the strength of Yu Ye and Xing Kong, you didn’t object. Without another word, you got into the carriage and lay down to sleep in a corner.
You were indeed a bit tired. Because Xing Kong was not skilled at driving the carriage, and the strong opposition from the two won made you take on the task of driving for two consecutive days. The mountain roads were not smooth, making the driving quite difficult. At first you were frantically busy and only after adapting for a long ti did you get used to it, so the fatigue was imaginable.
When Su Su entered the carriage with a flushed face, you were already asleep. Su Su lay down quietly beside you, her beautiful eyes wide open as she watched the man who stirred countless unfathomable feelings within her...
