It is now the afternoon of the second day that Gu Jian, Xiao Jinyan and Ning Xuanyue head north. They have to replenish the energy of the shuttle in this city.
Due to the urgency, the three of them didn't even think of staying in the city for a meal. They parked the shuttle in front of the door of a post station in the city and started to replenish their supplies.
Originally, Gu Jian planned to park the shuttle in the wild out of sight, but Ning Xuanyue said that the wilderness was full of thieves and there were many informants in the wild, so it was safer in the city.
According to Ning Xuanyue, the city is mostly the territory of local wealthy families and escort agencies, and even thieves will be restrained here.
Gu Jian accepted his opinion.
Taking advantage of the time when the shuttle was replenishing energy, Gu Jian and the others took out the rations and started eating.
But at this moment, a dozen rough-looking robbers were still staring at them.
"Three people each hold a shuttle. Ninety-nine percent of them are children of wealthy families."
One of them is a swordsman practicing Taoism.
"Find a way to kidnap them? I guess I can extort a lot of money, which will take a long time." Another warrior holding a mace said.
"Is it enough just to tie them up? Although those two little girls are wearing veils, they look like top-notch products at first glance. I must feel good after taking them back!"
Another man with sinister eyebrows and a hooked nose looked at Xiao Jinyan and Ning Xuanyue, pursed his dry lips, and his eyes were full of evil.
"Wait a minute, those two little girls have such a vague aura, they can't be masters, right?"
At this time, a man carrying a sword next to him said very cautiously.
"What are you afraid of? Since they are children of a wealthy family, it is not unusual for them to have treasures to hide their breath. What's more, they are so young, how high their cultivation level can they be?" Dao Xiu said, "I think they are just pretending to be mysterious."
"Well, let's do it for them!"
The man with the sword flashed fiercely in his eyes.
"Walk!"
…
In front of the inn.
"Ning Xuanyue, are you sure it is safer in the city than in the wild?" Xiao Jinyan suddenly asked.
Ning Xuanyue swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth and nodded: "Basically, yes, but the rules of each city are different. I have never been to Sufeng City to steal before."
"No wonder."
Xiao Jinyan shook her head helplessly.
Seeing this scene, Gu Jian looked around and saw that everyone around him was scattering as if fleeing, and there were about a dozen fierce-looking warriors walking towards them in the distance.
Gu Jian's consciousness dropped to the fifth level and he could only see the movement within a radius of twenty meters. It was no wonder that Xiao Jinyan noticed the group of uninvited guests before he and Ning Xuanyue did.
"Where do you get such desperate ideas? Let me kill them."
Ning Xuanyue snorted coldly.
Unexpectedly, Ning Xuanyue just wanted to go up, but Xiao Jinyan raised her hand to stop her.
"Our identity is very sensitive now. Can we avoid taking action? It's better not to take action."
Xiao Jinyan explained.
Ning Xuanyue looked at Gu Jian again. After getting along for a day, she knew that Gu Jian was the decision-maker.
Gu Jian whispered: "Yan'er, this is a wild land. We cannot act with the thinking of the Tianxing Kingdom. We must kill them, and we must not leave anyone alive."
Xiao Jinyan was very smart and quickly understood what Gu Jian meant.
They have to keep a low profile, but in a chaotic place like the Wilderness, if they act out of place, it will arouse suspicion from interested people.
If they pay the money honestly and settle the matter, it will be obvious at first glance that they have just arrived, and they may even make others think that they are easy to bully, thus causing more trouble.
Ning Xuanyue had been wandering in the Wilderness Territory for many years, and she slowly understood this truth, but she did not expect that Gu Jian, an eighteen-year-old boy, would understand it as soon as he came to the Wilderness Territory.
Even, he has never suffered a loss.
Soon enough, more than a dozen robbers had surrounded Gu Jian and the three of them, with grim smiles on their faces.
"Three of you, you all look like rich people. How much money can you borrow to spend?"
The man carrying the sword looked sinister.
"You two little ladies, do you want to come back to the mountains with us to live a happy life?"
The hook-nosed robber also made no secret of his inner greed for lust.
"Ning Xuanyue, leave it to you."
Gu Jian said casually.
After saying that, Gu Jian and Xiao Jinyan turned their backs on themselves, looking nonchalant.
Ning Xuanyue is one of the five thief kings in the Wilderness Realm. Even if his skills are not outstanding, dealing with more than a dozen Nascent Soul Martial Lords is still a joke?
As expected, seeing that Gu Jian and the others were unfazed, the expressions of the dozen thieves changed.
Is this a hard idea?
"You will be unlucky if you run into me."
Ning Xuanyue snorted coldly, and vast spiritual power surged out from the sea of qi, turning into overwhelming pressure.
"No! Run away!"
The expressions on the faces of the dozen or so robbers changed greatly, and they knew that this time they were going to hell.
"Fight!"
Only the man with the sword knew that he could not escape, so he violently attacked Gu Jian.
It’s hard to see through the cultivation levels of the two women, but this guy is only in the middle stage of the Yuan Dan realm!
Facing a King Wu, he could only escape by taking a hostage!
"ah!"
Sure enough, because the man with the sword did not retreat but advanced, he raised his sword and flew towards Gu Jian, and he became the only one to survive after Ning Xuanyue slapped him.
"Um?"
Xiao Jinyan sensed the sword-carrying man attacking Gu Jian, and was about to take action when she saw Gu Jian shaking his head.
"I'll do it myself."
Gu Jian stretched out his hand and took out the Shining Star Sword, turned around and faced the man carrying the sword, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The sword-carrying man's cultivation should be at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. In the past, Gu Jian could only defeat him by using the sharpness of the Lingtian Sword to achieve an unexpected effect.
But now, Gu Jian wants to test whether he can kill the mid-stage Martial Lord with his hard power.
Gu Jian did not use his sword intention, but directly slashed his sword to seal his throat.
Given his age, using his sword will be too conspicuous and his identity will be exposed.
Stupid!
In an instant, a purple sword light shattered the void and went straight to the throat of the man carrying the sword.
"not good!"
The man carrying the sword saw the light of the sword. Although he was holding the mysterious sword in his hand, he couldn't react at all.
puff!
Accompanied by the sound of blood rushing, the robber carrying the sword collided with the sword light and died on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Ning Xuanyue was slightly surprised and marveled at Gu Jian's strength.
A mere mid-stage Sword Dan Realm can actually instantly kill the mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm. It’s so monstrous!
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time, let's go."
Gu Jian took back the Shining Star Sword, looked at the fully charged shuttle, and said.
"Walk."
Xiao Jinyan and Ning Xuanyue nodded. Although people were dying in the wilderness all the time and passers-by were not surprised, it was better to stay away from this place as soon as possible.
The three of them stepped onto the shuttle and flew towards the Great Wu Kingdom at extremely fast speeds.
Three days later.
"Ahead is the northernmost Kuanglei City in the Wilderness Territory. We will replenish the spiritual stones for the last time before heading to the southern border of the Great Wu Empire."
Ning Xuanyue said.
As usual, the three of them entered Kuanglei City in a low-key manner and rested temporarily at the inn.
They rushed all the way without sleeping at all, but they knew that they would be much safer as long as they entered the territory of the Great Wu Empire.
As the city closest to the Wu Empire, Kuanglei City is extremely large and even more prosperous than the capital of the Tianxing Kingdom.
Moreover, there is a large population here, almost all of them are businessmen who go to the Kingdom of Wu to do business!
Gu Jian and Xiao Jinyan were alert to their surroundings, not wanting to stumble at the last moment.
Buzz!
Unexpectedly, just as the three of them were replenishing the spirit stones for the shuttle, a loud noise came from the southwest.
"That is……"
Gu Jian's pupils narrowed.
In the southwest sky, the sky was torn open by black dots, approaching Kuanglei City.
"It's the king of the Daqian Empire!"
The expressions of the three people changed drastically.
Hundreds of cockroaches cover the sky and the sun!
Only at this moment did Gu Jian understand why the dark clouds were threatening to destroy the city!
