Chapter 436: Chapter 446 Discovered
I had thought the caravan would stop at the Lost City to replenish so essentials for the journey, such as food, water, and so on.
Unexpectedly, the caravan did not stop at all and went straight through the city, pressing on towards their destination.
"Everyone work harder, double your efforts. The goal is to deliver this batch of dicinal materials to the Divine Martial Continent the day after tomorrow. At that ti, everyone will receive an additional three days of wages as a reward!" Lord Gongsun bellowed.
"Alright!"
Whether it was the guards or the laborers who did the heavy lifting, each one of them happily agreed.
Getting three more days’ worth of wages was certainly a cause for joy for these laborers. It ant that they could buy their families an extra few aty als or perhaps an additional new piece of clothing for their wives and children.
Stimulated by the promise of extra money, the caravan noticeably sped up its pace.
The Lost City was just a border fortress, located at the edge of Dan State. Beyond it lay the uninhabited wilderness of the Demon Sea Fierce Land.
The Ancestral Demon Sea of the Divine Martial Continent is one of the most notorious dangerous domains in this realm.
It serves as a boundary between the Divine Martial Continent and the Divine Demon Continent.
Even the human Sword God’s Strong People dare not recklessly enter the Ancestral Demon Sea. As for crossing it, that is even more unthinkable.
Within the Ancestral Demon Sea, there are endless demon beasts and sea demons.
It is said that deep within the Ancestral Demon Sea, there might even live dragons from the Ancient Tis. So even exaggerate further, claiming that within the sea lives a Kunpeng demon beast with a body length exceeding ten thousand ters.
Although these myths have never been confird by anyone,
One point, however, has been proven by countless strong individuals at the cost of their lives: the Ancestral Demon Sea is not to be traversed, or else one will surely perish.
Outside the Lost City, the Demon Sea Fierce Land is crisscrossed with rivers and large streams flowing into the Ancestral Demon Sea.
This area of the Fierce Land, with its humid and rainy climate, is very conducive to plant growth. Coupled with its uninhabited nature,
It has beco a haven for common demon beasts.
Erging from the Ancestral Demon Sea, they swim upstream to this land. Gradually, they take root and continue to multiply, expanding their family mbers. Eventually, the entire Demon Sea Fierce Land has beco the territory of the demon beasts.
Every human who wants to cross the Demon Sea Fierce Land must be extrely cautious and vigilant.
...
The caravan soon reached the city gate on their way out, where the inspection conducted was much stricter than on their way in.
Apart from the guards of the Lost City performing inspections, there was also a fierce-looking general emanating a ferocious aura, leading more than a dozen Sword God’s Strong People. Holding giant swords, they coldly scrutinized every individual exiting the city.
They even went so far as to lift the curtains of the horse carts and checked underneath them.
Such stringent inspections made it impossible even for a mosquito to be smuggled through.
"Xuanyuan Wudi!"
As Chu Feng recognized the formidable general, feelings of killing intent surged within him, accompanied by a trace of fear.
Chu Feng was far from being a match for a power at the Three-star Sword God Level like Xuanyuan Wudi. Basically, any confrontation with Xuanyuan Wudi would result in an instantaneous defeat for him.
"This is bad! Hiding underneath this horse box, there’s a high chance I’ll be discovered!"
"If that happens, the Sect Master and Elder Hei Dimo will have to cover for , binding themselves to fight desperately against Xuanyuan Wudi once more. I’ve already caused the death of two Supre Elders; I cannot let the Sect Master and Elder Hei co to harm because of ."
Chu Feng’s heart was filled with a heavy sense of guilt and remorse.
"My friend beneath the cart, if you don’t mind, why not co up for a drink?"
Just as Chu Feng was contemplating his options in secret, Lord Gongsun’s voice ca from inside the horse cart, soft enough that only Chu Feng could hear it.
Lord Gongsun deliberately lowered his voice, proving he had no ill intentions towards Chu Feng.
Otherwise, he could have simply called his guards and captured Chu Feng.
Because Lord Gongsun was not taken hostage by Chu Feng. Moreover, the strength of this Lord Gongsun is probably not low.
"You have been following us for a long ti on this journey! The Lost City would not normally have so many Sword God’s Strong People coming to investigate. And these strong people are all soldiers of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom. They are probably here for you, right?"
Seeing that Chu Feng did not respond, Lord Gongsun spoke again.
Chu Feng was so frightened by these words that he almost lost his grip and fell from under the carriage.
He thought he had been hiding well, but to his surprise, they had been known all along.
And not only had he been discovered, but the Sect Master and others had long been detected by this Lord Gongsun as well. This person is terrifying.
At this point, how could Chu Feng hesitate any longer? Imdiately seizing the opportunity, he floated out from under the carriage and boarded it.
During this ti, Lord Gongsun on the carriage intentionally provided cover for him, and Chu Feng was not discovered by anyone.
After successfully entering the carriage, he found it spacious inside, decorated lavishly yet understated, manifesting imnse restraint. It was like the difference between nouveau riche who like to flaunt the largest gold chains around their necks.
And wishing to adorn every finger with gold rings if they could.
They dress blindly following trends, buying clothes solely from well-known brands.
It can only be said that they are as tacky as tacky can be, only falling short of engraving the words ’nouveau riche’ on their faces. Their attire has in fact beco a living billboard for the nouveau riche.
Whereas the truly successful individuals, who advance steadily, grow in cultivation, knowledge, wealth, and experience in unison.
After becoming wealthy, their dress sense seeks intellectuality, gentility, and elegance.
For example, wearing a fashionable yet tasteful watch signifies punctuality. And they tend to dress as refined and gentlemanly as possible.
A pair of gold-rimd glasses, a shirt with a tie, plus a pair of dress pants, and the aura is instantly set.
The decoration of Lord Gongsun’s carriage showed extraordinary taste.
Inside the carriage, there was only Lord Gongsun.
Rembering how he hid under the carriage and Lord Gongsun urinating above him, Chu Feng still felt sowhat embarrassed.
He secretly sized up the other party.
This was a spry old man dressed neatly, with silver-gray hair impeccably grood. On his finger, he wore a jade ring.
In this era, a ring is a symbol of status.
Anyone who possessed certain power liked to wear a valuable ring on their hand to reflect their noble status.
There was a specially built tea table in the Horse Box.
Then there were three rows of storage-capable long seats. It was a great feature to neatly tuck away daily travel necessities.
Even gold and silver valuables could be stored inside.
"Quite young, aren’t you!" The elder, having seen Chu Feng’s appearance, was also involuntarily taken aback.
The two exchanged glances, then, simultaneously, smiles erged.
"Thank you, old sir, for giving us a ride!" Chu Feng tried to sense the elder’s cultivation, which was unfathomably profound.
He wasn’t intimidated, and he took a seat directly.
"Hmph, if it weren’t for the fact that you did no evil deeds, why would I let you follow
up until now!"
