Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed slightly, but they remained calm and did not panic.
"Hehe, Chen, you just said it’s a bit troubleso, but you actually have an idea in mind already, don’t you?"
Old Man Dong was a shrewd and humorous person, still managing to laugh at this mont.
Chen Yuan didn’t deny it either,
"The Mingyue under my feet is my Divine Treasure. Its wandering through the void leaves traces, but we can only try."
He wasn’t certain, but it was feasible. He had used the Heavenly Eye to scan and could capture these traces. Following them might lead them back ho.
But after several days, whether those traces remained was still a big question mark.
"Everything is up to General Chen!"
None of them had any objections, and they felt relieved as if a burden was lifted, for there was a tall person to support the sky.
Indeed, our Chen Wusheng was that person.
Chen Yuan saw that everyone was weak and weary, all for his sake, so he felt a trace of emotion and cupped his fists,
"Everyone and the soldiers should rest first,"
"I’ll take care of what’s next!"
After saying so, he raised his hand and waved toward the sky. Instantly, the Six-Color Divine Tree sweeping the void above rustled, and the collision of leaves dispersed ethereal Essence Qi, casting spots of light onto everyone, like a long drought eting sweet rain.
Whether in the Burial Land or in this void turbulence, it was all a Land of Absolute Spirit where every bit of Essence Qi lost was less, and many were already over-exhausted.
Thus, people started sitting cross-legged in the pit below, absorbing the scattered Essence Qi to restore their vigor.
anwhile, Chen Yuan stomped his foot.
The "Mingyue" below rumbled loudly. The milky white light flared up, and it moved, pursuing the direction from which they ca!
In the tumultuous void, a trail of white fla swirled, as if wandering through a pitch-black universe.
Above, the Six-Color Divine Tree swayed non-stop, while Chaos Qi pierced through violent Gang Qi, forging ahead relentlessly!
.......
Eight days later, on an ancient road leading from Liangzhou to Shu, torrential rain poured down.
Large raindrops hit the treetops on either side of the ancient road, making snapping sounds, like rain beating on banana leaves.
In the depths of the forests on both sides, mist and rain intertwined, shrouding the mountain road in a haze. The pine trees on either side swayed wildly in the strong wind, as if they could topple at any mont.
"Giddyup"
"Giddyup"
"Giddyup"
Amid the rain and mist, the urgent sound of horses galloping sounded.
A few fast horses galloped in the rain, erging from a section of the mountain road shrouded by trees. The riders wore straw raincoats and bamboo hats, dressed in tough clothes, with weapons at their waists and hands, all looking like skilled martial artists.
In front, there were rolling stones and trees blown down by the wind. Cold light flashed as barriers were cleared away one by one.
Then, with a rumbling sound, several carriages followed, their wheels rolling over waterlogged pits, splashing muddy water, rging with the dense sound of rain into a dull lody. The carriages seed to be made of tal, engraved with arrays, emitting a faint glow, remaining stable despite the wind and rain, on the bumpy mountain road at night.
The rain intensified, forming vertical water curtains. The distant mountains disappeared into the white rain and fog, only to be occasionally illuminated by lightning breaking through the sky, briefly lighting up the mountain path ahead.
"Chief Escort Chang."
"We need to find a place to shelter from the rain quickly. This rain is wickedly heavy."
From inside the carriage, there were shouts, mostly swallowed by the sound of rain. The tarp covering the carriage heaved in the wind.
"Almost there, a few miles ahead, I rember there’s a mountain pass where we can take shelter from the rain. Hang in there a bit longer."
The straw-clad person leading the way shouted back.
With that shout, suddenly,
"Boom!"
A thunderclap broke overhead, lightning rent the night sky.
The horses neighed in fright and halted, their hooves lifted high.
"What is that?" Soone exclaid.
Under the flicker of lightning, a not-so-bright fla descended from heaven, struck by thunder, and fell into the rain and fog ahead,
This sight paralyzed the leading dart master, their eyes under the bamboo hat filled with shock and hesitation, reining in the horses, not daring to advance.
They had traversed these mountain forests on escort missions for years. Such heavy rains were when the mountain forest’s evil things were most easily attracted.
"Chief Liu, this..."
The leader was a brawny man with bushy eyebrows, an aquiline nose, and rough skin.
"Everyone stay put."
"I’ll go check it out."
The chief escort nad Chang said, leaping like a bird, his hands spreading, gripping a knife, stealthily advancing along the path amid the torrential rain.
Soon, Chief Escort Liu covered several hundred ters and quickly spotted the target. There, in the rain, a fire still burned, even setting trees ablaze, suspiciously.
Cautiously, he approached.
His heart thudded in the rain, one hand tightly gripping the knife hilt, his gaze vigilant.
Then, in the next second.
A figure abruptly appeared before him, right in his face.
Chief Escort Liu’s eyes widened, his facial muscles twitching rapidly. What eyes were those, with golden pupils and a third eye between the brows, exuding the fierce aura of a beast?
Despite years of escorting, and cultivating courage, at this mont, an unexplainable fear engulfed him like a tide.
"Ah!"
A cry filled with terror rang out in the rain.
Behind, the escort team heard the commotion, and everyone paled. The dart masters drew their swords, as if facing a formidable foe, and from the carriage, ca exclamations from n, won, young, and old alike.
But just a dozen breaths later, out of the rain and fog stepped two figures.
Liu, who went to scout the path, returned, a stiff smile on his face,
"Don’t be nervous."
"This young hero says he had a mishap crossing the void, and is here to ask for directions!"
While speaking, the dart master’s eyes signaled to the others, subtly shaking his head.
This ant, do not act rashly.
The other dart masters exchanged glances, then looked at Chief Escort Liu and the young man following him. Clad in fragnted silver armor, particularly those pale golden pupils, they found daunting, dared not speak.
After half a cup of tea ti, under a mountain pass, the torrential rain poured like a curtain from the rocky top, providing a wind and rain-sheltered area below, where two bonfires were lit.
On one side was the master’s party, comprising seven or eight people, master and servants, traders heading to Shu. On the other, five or six dart masters from Yinping City’s Taiping Escort Agency, with Chief Escort Chang at the helm, possessing Qi Refining Great Success in Martial Arts Cultivation.
"You ask about the direction to Shu, are you by any chance going to support the Liangzhou Army in Shu, lost from the main force?"
"Judging by your armor, quite extraordinary, you must be a military man."
Chang Zhong, the leading dart master, seed to sense that the suddenly appearing young man had no ill intentions towards them and started a conversation.
Of course, the feeling from earlier left a deep impression, and this person before them was not soone they could provoke, needing careful hospitality before seeing him off respectfully.
The young man was, in fact, Chen Yuan, who had been wandering in the turbulent void for almost half a month.
Consider it his misfortune, pursuing previous imprints, amidst which they encountered a blood space storm in the forbidden land within the void turbulence, carrying terrifying energy, nearly sucking them all in. He had to exert significant effort to escape, later finding the opportunity to break through the space barrier and returned here, experiencing many twists and turns.
When Chen Yuan heard the words "Liangzhou Army" and "support," he was very sensitive, his eyes sharpening,
"When did Beiliang send troops to support Shu?"
Chief Escort Chang, under Chen Yuan’s gaze, hurriedly spilled out,
"It’s been several days now, the situation in Shu has turned upside down."
"I heard a big hole opened in the sky there, and people ca down from heaven."
"Countless White Bone forces have occupied the cities of Shu."
"It’s very frightening."
"Now, many people are heading that way."
