I left the city soon enough. I had no more attachnts towards it, and I would eventually co back anyways. The horse rode forward at a frightening speed, and I covered a lot of ground in very little ti. I passed by a lot of empty land, and a few villages here and there, but did not want to make a stop until I got to a proper inn. I wanted so good food and a bed to rest in before I continued.
With nothing to do other than to just ride along, it was pretty boring. The sound of the horse was monotonous. If only I could just teleport to the Black Swamp Forest, then I would get rid of all these extra steps.
I stopped in so inn and slept after having a good al. I made sure that the horse was well tended to in the stables. The fact that every inn that I ca across had a stable surprised , but it was to be expected given that the primary way of transport here was by horse.
"Urghhh. There is nothing for to do. I don't know what to do right now." I grumbled.
"You could cultivate for now. I understand that you wish to get stronger in a small period of ti, do you not. Not wasting any ti at all, and cultivating helps. You can use the inferior cultivation thod that your father taught you. The one where you actually have to diate and sit down." Liu Man suggested.
"I am not ditating. If I suddenly have so breakthrough like during my Foundation Establishnt stage breakthrough, then I will get stuck here for a few days, and I will not reach the sect on ti. I am not in a hurry to get to the Core Formation Stage any ti soon. Actually, I need to use the Foundation Tempering Pill that I got in the martial gathering. I rember soone saying that I would be the one with the most benefit because I was at a lower cultivation level. I need to use it after I get to the sect." I shook my head.
"If you are not cultivating, and you are not going to practise anything, then of course you are going to get bored. Why not do sothing else. Why not learn a new skill that is not a combat skill. Why not read. Knowledge is power. There are books everywhere, and you can get a few sowhere. This may not be a city, but a town still has a good book selection. You can learn about the place that you are in. It is my understanding that you are still very clueless about the world that we live in." Liu Man said.
"Not really. I understand the more important parts. But I could actually use the extra information. And this place is getting stuffy, and I am not so sleepy. Every since I grew stronger, I find sleep less and less necessary. If the horse could continue to run all day long, then I would actually do that." I shook my head.
After I left the inn, I looked around. When I first went to the Kaishi city, I thought that it was much smaller than the normal city. But comparing this town to even the Kaishi city, it was pitifully small. There were still a few people standing here or there. I looked around. It was a calm place. It was getting a little dark, and all of a sudden, I had a very bad feeling.
I looked around. I could see nothing in the surroundings. The area behind the bushes was dark, but I could feel soone staring at .
I activated my mind eye, looking at the darkness. My eyes widened imdiately.
"Level-10
Na - Hongse One
Cultivation - Foundation Establishnt stage 2nd layer"
"Level - 8
Na - Hongse Five
Cultivation - Qi Condensation Stage Peak"
"What kind of nas are there? Are they part of so cult or sothing?"
One by one, nas popped up behind the bushes. These people obviously did not want their presence to be known. Whoever they were, they did not have any good intentions.
They were not too powerful, but numbers could do so much damage. I took a step back.
"Bandits!" soone near the bushes suddenly shouted.
Aargh!
Almost imdiately, the sa person scread out in fear. The sll of blood was in the air.
"Bandits are here! Tell everyone. Let the experts co out. All the civilians, go in!" soone shouted from behind . This person was probably on higher ground. Bandits seed to be a common occurrence. Although there was fear in everyone's eyes, shock was missing. They were expecting an attack.
"It is so sad, living a life like this." I shook my head.
"What are you doing? Scared out of your wits? Is this the first ti that you are encountering bandits? Seeing how luxurious your hair and skin are, you probably co from a family of wealth. I suggest that you run inside, or you will be hounded by the bandits, and they will take you for ransom." a person told as he ran inside.
"They are all either in the first layer of the Foundation Building stage, or in the Qi Condensation stage. I already defeated soone much above this cultivation. I don't need to worry much about them. If I do want to fight them though, I will have to make sure that the normal people don't get hurt." I realized.
One by one, the bandits ca out of the dark. I could see their faces properly now. Their viciousness was clear in their crooked smile and their hideous faces.
"Co on now. Why are you running away so quickly? One of you has to entertain us now." one of the bandits laughed as he looked at the won who were running inside.
