“At this pace, it’ll take at least three months to get from Dafeng State to Central State!”

Sitting in the carriage, Su Changkong pulled on the reins as the robust black horse galloped forward, pulling the carriage down the road. Su Changkong estimated the speed and silently lanted.

The roads of this era were not like those in modern tis, so smooth and flat. Sotis, without a road, one would have to traverse mountains and ridges, making travel extrely ti-consuming.

With Su Changkong’s pace and endurance, he could outpace any treasured steed. This black horse was a gift from Pei Yang, naturally a one in ten thousand steed, but it still couldn’t compare with the speed and stamina of a martial artist in the Qi-Blood Realm.

But now, Su Changkong’s body couldn’t sustain long periods of travel, so he had to either ride on horseback or sit in a carriage, grinding away the ti.

Fortunately, Su Changkong wasn’t in a hurry and had all the ti he needed. He took it as an opportunity to enjoy the scenery along the way.

The process of traveling was undoubtedly tedious. Occasionally, when encountering rough and uneven roads, Su Changkong had to get out and push the carriage forward. Every so often, the black horse also needed to rest and feed to replenish its strength.

As Su Changkong was alone, there was no one to talk to, but he quite enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. Occasionally, he would stop and rest in small towns along the way.

He traveled, stopping now and then, and had encountered a few highway robbers on the streets. As for their fate, it went without saying.

Ti flew swiftly, and the chill in the air completely vanished with winter’s departure and spring’s arrival. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

“Soon, just past the White Dragon Road ahead, and I’ll be in the domain of Central State!”

The carriage pulled over to the side of the road, and Su Changkong fetched so fresh grass for the black horse, which ate without objection. Su Changkong munched on a piece of dried at and studied the map.

After three months of traveling, he was finally about to reach the boundary of Central State, at most only ten days’ journey away!

After arriving in Central State, Su Changkong had no other plans for the mont. He intended to find a place to stay in the nearest city first, and then slowly investigate the “thod of continuation of ridians.” With so ti and effort, he was sure to find sothing!

“Let’s continue the journey!”

After finishing his al, Su Changkong got back on the carriage and drove the black horse onward.

Dusk soon fell, and the black horse was visibly fatigued.

“There’s a small town ahead. We’ll rest there for the night and continue at dawn.”

Seeing this, Su Changkong also yawned. With continuous traveling, even his body now felt tired and needed rest. He rembered there was a small town marked on the map up ahead.

Sure enough, after traveling so distance further, a small town appeared in front of them.

At the entrance of the town, there was a signboard with “Blade Leaf Town” inscribed upon it.

Su Changkong dismounted, leading the black horse into the town.

Blade Leaf Town was modest in size, but it had its share of travelers seeking lodging, making it rather bustling. Su Changkong made his way to an inn at the center of town.

“Welco, dear guest! Please co inside!”

The inn imdiately had a waiter warmly welcoming him.

“Feed my horse so food.”

Su Changkong ordered.

“Yes.”

The inn’s worker imdiately took the black horse to the stable for Su Changkong, who then entered the inn and had the innkeeper arrange a room for him.

After eating, Su Changkong prepared to wash up and then rest, ready to continue his journey the next day.

“Hmm?”

But inside the inn, Su Changkong was surprised, for he saw soone he did not expect to encounter!

At a table on the first floor of the inn, a youth with a handso appearance and dressed in simple clothes sat in the corner. He was alone, with two small dishes in front of him, eating his al with his head down.

“It’s Hua Yi… Dr. Huashan’s apprentice.” Su Changkong found the person familiar, and soon rembered who he was.

Dr. Huashan had once visited Black Iron Manor and was the one who had taught Su Changkong the Five Animal Frolics. Later, Su Changkong saw Dr. Huashan again in Ginseng Town.

At that ti, Dr. Huashan was helping citizens affected by a disaster but lacked the money to buy dicinal materials. Su Changkong had generously helped him and even obtained a prescription for Boiling Blood Scatter from Dr. Huashan.

Back then, Dr. Huashan had already taken on a disciple, a young man slightly younger than Su Changkong nad Hua Yi.

Years passed, and here in this town close to Central State, Su Changkong unexpectedly encountered Hua Yi again!

Over the years, Su Changkong had been through much and did not expect to et soone he had seen in Clearwater City.

“Where is Dr. Huashan?”

However, what puzzled Su Changkong was that he saw Hua Yi alone, with no sign of Dr. Huashan.

And Hua Yi himself appeared sowhat destitute, with a gaunt expression. He ate his al in silence, occasionally pausing with his chopsticks to stare blankly, deep in thought, with a preoccupied look.

After finishing his al, Hua Yi headed up to his room on the second floor of the inn to rest.

“Let’s go back to my room to rest.”

Su Changkong withdrew his gaze and made his way to his room on the second floor, bathing and resting.

Su Changkong lay in bed, eyes closed to rest. Now that he couldn’t practice martial arts, he might as well get a good night’s sleep.

When night had deepened, the whole town was shrouded in darkness and silence. Suddenly, Su Changkong opened his eyes. His keen hearing picked up slight movents coming from the room next door.

“You… mmph…”

A scared voice sounded, but it was quickly muffled as if soone had forcefully covered the person’s mouth, followed by faint struggling sounds. Then, the struggle ceased, and complete silence fell.

“The room next door… is that Hua Yi?”

Su Changkong furrowed his brow, hearing the rustling of doors being opened and footsteps lighter than a cat’s.
