A month later, a gray carriage crushed past the gravel road, stirring up waves of dust and drove towards the depths of the mountains and ridges. After a long journey, the entire team no longer had the spirit of the way they set off. Even the knights leading the team were veterans who had experienced many battles, they were all sitting on the horse's backs, and their faces looked very exhausted.

Li Daoyuan, who was lying in the carriage, had suffered such torture. The desk in front of the couch had been kicked to the ground by him. The exquisite dishes scattered on the ground were even more broken by him in anger. The delicious and juicy fruits were left with only bare cores left half a month ago.

For more than half a month, Li Daoyuan, like the soldiers outside the carriage, ate all the dry food that was difficult to swallow for three meals a day. Only then did he deeply realize how delicious the dishes that he couldn't get used to in the palace before were.

If he had known that the journey to Lieyang Sect was so hard, Li Daoyuan would have disobeyed his father's orders and cried and made a big fuss in the palace. At this moment, he had only endless regret and unrelieving emotions in his heart. The soldiers outside the car seemed to be all wooden men. No matter how Li Daoyuan was making trouble, they all continued to rush forward without saying a word.

Even the driver who drove the horse seemed to be mute. Although he was very respectful to Li Daoyuan, he never said anything more to him. After this month of tossing, Li Daoyuan gradually calmed down and lay bored in the carriage and was thinking about it all day long.

On this day, his thoughts also flew back to the palace in Wan'an City. I wonder if Xiao Dezi, who had accompanied him, had taken care of the golden retriever who had just been full of the moon during the period when he left. At this moment, the normal carriage finally slowed down and paused slowly.

"Have you arrived at the place?"

Li Daoyuan's eyes lit up and he immediately jumped up from the bed, running out of the carriage, shouting excitedly.

When Li Daoyuan opened the car door, he first saw the two standing in a four-corner stone pavilion, and one of them was an acquaintance with him several times.

This man was a hunchbacked old man with wrinkles and dark skin on his face, which made him look like a poor peasant who worked in the fields all year round. However, Li Daoyuan knew that the other party's identity was not simple, just because once he accidentally saw the old man. When he met his father, he did not perform the three bows and nine bows like ordinary ministers.

"Senior, I don't want to learn any Taoist techniques. Take me back quickly. When I arrive in the imperial city, I can reward you whatever you want."

Li Daoyuan seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, changed the words he had said to others in the past month, and then preached to the hunchbacked old man.

The hunchbacked old man just looked at Li Daoyuan lightly, then looked up and said to the handsome young man in the vineyard of Yushu beside him: "I have safely escorted people to the state of the noble sect. Fellow Taoist should quickly verify his true self, so I can hurry back and hand in the office."

The handsome young man nodded without comment, then stretched out a slender arm and rushed to Li Daoyuan, who was standing on the carriage from the air, grabbed him.

The next moment, before Li Daoyuan could figure out what was going on, his body soared into the air, as if a kite pulled by an invisible long string flew lightly to the handsome young man.

"The height and appearance are exactly the same as the images sent back by the Supervision Bureau. When I verify his bloodline, I can take him back to the mountain." The handsome young man put down his arm, and casually cut his hand knife through the air, gently slashing Li Daoyuan's neck.

A "dong" sounded softly.

Li Daoyuan felt his whole body numb, and the strength in his body was instantly drained. His eyes were turned around, like a pool of boneless fat falling towards the ground.

The handsome young man standing aside quickly looked fast, and he hugged Li Daoyuan who had fainted in his arms with one hand. Then he pinched his sword finger and lit up the back of Li Daoyuan's neck as fast as lightning.

A ball of blood immediately emerged from Li Daoyuan's fair skin, and the color of the blood also quickly changed from bright red to purple-red at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the ball of blood gradually turned black, its shape began to change. In just one breath, it turned into a thumb-length dragon pattern, coiled on Li Daoyuan's raised neck bone.

Seeing this, the handsome young man narrowed his eyes, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. He seemed unwilling to stay here for more. After checking Li Daoyuan's identity, he simply raised his foot and stomped on the ground. A large ball of thick white mist immediately rolled out from the ground, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a snow-white auspicious cloud, carrying him to the horizon.

"It's been a hard work for you all this past month. I promise you to take a half year off. After you have enough energy, you can go to Wuwei Palace to report." The hunchbacked old man turned his head and looked at the dusty knights, and waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"I'll thank you for your kindness in offerings."

The soldiers were cheering up and replied in a loud voice.

The hunchbacked old man chuckled a few times, lowered his head and stood there and turned around three times. As his body rotated like a top, a whirlwind of yellow horns suddenly emerged from the ground, carrying the old man straight into the ground. After a while, the Qin worshipper disappeared in front of everyone.

After a cup of tea, the handsome young man controlled the white auspicious clouds under him while carrying Li Daoyuan, and hovered steadily in front of a three-story attic built against the mountain.

"Senior Brother Qingke, I am ordered to bring this inner disciple to you," the handsome young man stood outside the attic and shouted loudly, then shook Li Daoyuan in his hand, and said in a bad tone: "When do you still have to pretend to be dead? If you don't wake up, I will throw you out of the air."

Li Daoyuan was stunned when he heard this, thinking that these tricks could not be hidden from the other party Xueliang's eyes. However, when he thought of the young man's actions of knocking him out, he immediately became jealous and stopped pretending to be unconscious. He suddenly turned his head and opened his mouth to bite the young man's arm.

The handsome young man obviously did not expect that the little ghost in his hand would launch such a ridiculous attack on him. He stood in the air without any response for a moment, but a thin layer of blue light spontaneously flowed out of his neat Taoist robe.

A scream of "Ah".

Li Daoyuan's good teeth seemed to bite on an iron plate, and his whole body was bounced out by a huge force, and he rolled in the air for several rounds.
