What separates Wangyue Beach from the Magic City is Wangyue Mountain. It’s only three hundred miles away, so if you drive quickly, you can reach it in just half a day.
When everyone arrived at Wangyue Beach, the guards of Caiyun City all breathed a sigh of relief. After tonight, they can reach the Magic City safely tomorrow. As long as they reach the Magic City, the mission can be considered successfully completed.
Because there are a large number of martial arts disciples guarding the Demon City, and no one would dare to act wild here.
As for Wumen, it is the leading martial arts master in ASEAN. Although it only owns Jingwu City, no family dares to underestimate it, including the Tang Clan. In the past few decades, Wumen has won several titles in a row.
as the next leader of ASEAN.
Speaking of Wangyue Beach, it is just a small town at the junction of Jiudian and Magic City. It is far less prosperous than the city. There is only one decent inn in the town, which is Wangyue Inn.
The inn was not big, so a group of about twenty people booked all the remaining rooms in the inn and barely stayed there. As for the two groups of guards who followed secretly, they had no choice but to sleep in the open air along the way.
When going out, everyone keeps a low profile and tries to avoid disputes, even in this remote town, Wangyue Beach.
After everyone had dinner, they went back to their rooms quietly. As usual, Du Xuan's room was arranged in the middle of everyone. There were two groups of guards guarding his room all night long, with three guards in each group.
Along the way, everyone was also fortified and protected.
On the last night, the ten-man team sent by Du Long and Du Pengyu, who were following Du Long secretly, were not as relaxed as the guards who protected Du Xuan openly, but were more vigilant.
Danger often occurs when you think it's almost safe.
As for the secret guards sent by Du Zhimu, they are all beginners or martial arts practitioners, and they are the most elite and mysterious team in Du Mansion. These guards are naturally much more experienced, and they are more vigilant that night.
In other words, these fifteen secret guards never relaxed during this journey.
However, unexpectedly, this last night was as peaceful as usual, and nothing happened.
early morning.
The rising sun had just risen, and everyone got up, feeling a little excited. There were still a few hours to go before they could reach their destination safely and successfully complete this mission.
To climb over Wangyue Mountain, the fastest way is to go straight to the top of the mountain and then descend from the top of the mountain.
However, everyone was on horseback, and there was also the carriage that Du Xuan was riding in. It was not easy to go over the mountains, so they had to take a detour around the mountainside and then take a circuitous route across the entire mountainside before going down the mountain. Although the journey was a little long, the carriage could do it.
Smooth traffic.
God is also behaving beautifully today, the sun is shining brightly in the sky, and the weather is quite good.
The forest on the mountain is filled with birds chirping, branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the scenery is very beautiful. The sunlight passes through, and the forest is particularly bright. It is especially popular for these guards.
Not because of the beautiful scenery, but because of the better weather, which makes it harder for the enemy to set up ambushes, making it safer.
Hahaha!
Suddenly, there was a sound of frolics ahead, which was particularly harsh in the quiet forest.
The guards' hearts suddenly tightened, and they unconsciously looked around vigilantly. The leading guard immediately reined in the reins, turned his right hand upright, and everyone immediately stopped moving forward and waited solemnly.
The leading guard is He Sheng, the deputy battalion commander of the Caiyun City Guard Battalion, a martial arts cultivator in the Eighth Dharma Realm.
He Sheng rushed forward to find out what was going on. The others slowly followed behind, keeping a certain distance.
They didn't go far when they saw a group of people in front of them. There were about ten people, all looking like businessmen, and there were also many horses carrying goods tied to the trees.
This group of people were sitting together casually, but they happened to block the way, and they heard loud laughter and shouts from time to time.
He Sheng sensed a little and discovered that there were actually five martial arts cultivators among them. Moreover, the cultivation levels of three of them were not much different from his own.
However, fortunately, the opponent's numbers clearly do not have the upper hand. If there is a conflict, your team has an absolute chance of winning.
Of course, it is normal for these merchant teams to have martial arts cultivators. After all, merchant teams are also afraid of being robbed.
After finding out the situation, He Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and greeted everyone that it was okay and there was no need to be nervous.
He himself urged the horse forward alone.
The group of businessmen in front of them saw someone urging them to come up, and they were followed by many people with serious faces. At first glance, they knew that they were not easy to mess with, so they stopped laughing and stood up one after another, with a look of fear on their faces.
When He Sheng saw this, he felt quite proud, so there was nothing to worry about.
He Sheng, who was riding a horse with a straight face, held his head high, snorted coldly, and shouted: "You all, get out of my way! Don't occupy the whole road, hurry up, hurry up!"
These people looked at each other in panic. One of the elders stood up and greeted everyone: "Get up, everyone! Stand on the side and make way for the gentlemen."
Following the elder's greeting, everyone stood up and slowly retreated to both sides of the road, making way for He Sheng and others.
He Sheng saw this and was very satisfied. Then he waved to the back, signaling to continue moving forward.
At this moment, the unsuspecting He Sheng was about to turn around. The five martial arts cultivators on both sides of the crowd suddenly used all their strength and jumped into the air.
Wow!
Suddenly, all kinds of swords and shadows on both sides flew towards He Sheng.
Poor He Sheng, before he could draw his sword to fight the enemy, he was surrounded and killed on the spot by five martial arts cultivators who were close at hand on both sides!
At this time, all the guards were still in a daze. They did not react for a moment and stared dumbfoundedly at their leader being killed.
No one thought that this humble caravan and a few humble martial practitioners would dare to attack the Du Fu Guards!
Suddenly, someone among the guards shouted: "There is an assassin! There is an assassin!"
The guards in Caiyun City are also experienced.
The eight guards quickly urged their horses forward, aiming directly at the five bold martial arts cultivators in front. The remaining ten or so people immediately gathered around the carriage and looked around cautiously.
The assassins disguised as businessmen in front of them were not bad in cultivation, but they were at a disadvantage in numbers. As for those who were not martial arts cultivators who were used to paralyze He Sheng, they quickly retreated and left the battlefield as soon as possible.
Du Xuan, who was sitting in the carriage, was practicing the first type of magic escape with the colorful sandalwood stick, but the sudden sound of fighting outside suddenly woke him up and interrupted him.
Suddenly encountering an assassin, Du Xuanke broke out in a cold sweat. This was only his first time traveling far away, so why was he so unlucky?
The most depressing thing is that now is the time when Du Xuan is most vulnerable. Because he has not learned a single magic trick yet, and he has no ability to protect himself at all!
Just when everyone was fighting fiercely and fiercely, dozens of figures suddenly rushed towards this side not far away.
Needless to say, these must be reinforcements from the assassins.
