After getting along with each other for a few days, Zi Chen finally realized how naive his previous thoughts were. He just followed someone for two days and saw nothing unusual about him, so he thought he was an ordinary mercenary.
In fact, they are not ordinary at all, except for their appearance.
There were a total of eighteen people here, driving two large carts with unknown goods, and there was also a carriage. There seemed to be a patient in the cart, and the bearded man was taking care of him.
Big Beard has a rough appearance. He is the employee of these people. He looks very fierce, with a fat head and big ears, and a fierce look. The old man's cough can be heard from time to time in the carriage. According to Big Beard, they are heading to Yunxia
The city sees a doctor.
But would anyone take fifteen innate strong men and three True Yuan realm strong men to see a doctor? What's more, Big Beard can hire them. I can't be an ordinary person, and Zi Chen can't see through it with his strength.
Everyone treated Zi Chen fairly well, they ate, drank, and took care of the meat and wine, and they didn't need him to do anything. Occasionally, one or two people would chat with him when they had nothing to do.
The eighteen people all looked ordinary and unremarkable, but Zi Chen never dared to be careless.
"Why hasn't Lao Jiu come back yet?"
"It's been more than ten days, so I should have been back long ago."
For the past few days, Zi Chen could always hear such discussions, but he didn't take them seriously.
In the evening, as the sun set, red clouds appeared on the horizon, and everyone stopped. For several days, the only thing that dissatisfied Zi Chen was that their speed was too slow. People from Wuzong could catch up at any time, and their speed was so fast.
Wait, Zi Chen is very anxious, but now, he can't even run away.
"Boy, it's time to eat."
The bonfire was raised, and the barbecue wrapped with bamboo sticks had turned golden yellow, and the grease fell on the bonfire, making a crackling sound.
What makes Zi Chen extremely dissatisfied is the speed. What makes him most satisfied is the food. The person who grills the barbecue is a very thin guy. He controls the heat very well. The strong aroma of barbecue can be heard from a long distance. Zi Chen eats it every day.
Don't feel tired.
"Um... seniors, I wonder what you want to do when you go to Yunxia City?" Everyone was eating in silence when Zi Chen suddenly said this.
No one paid any attention to him, no one even looked at him.
"Go get treatment, didn't I tell you everything?" The bearded man's rough voice sounded.
Zi Chen smiled and said: "Oh, I almost forgot. By the way, Yunxia City is said to be one of the seven major cities. It covers a large area. There should be many strong people there."
The conversation started, and the middle-aged man in the True Energy Realm who often chatted with Zi Chen said: "Of course there are too many, countless. The True Qi Realm is just like cannon fodder."
"There were too many geniuses that day?"
The middle-aged man glanced at Zi Chen and said with a faint smile: "If you think you are a genius, then there are at least 100,000 geniuses like you in Yunxia City."
Zi Chen took a breath of air. What he meant by the middle-aged man was that there were at least 100,000 tenth-level Qi beings of his age in Yunxia City.
"So many geniuses?" Zi Chen was shocked.
"Pfft!" But as soon as he finished speaking, several people spat out what they had eaten.
Everyone looked at Zi Chen as if they were monsters, and one of them laughed and said, "Boy, you don't really think of yourself as a genius, do you?"
"Isn't it?" Zi Chen asked back. During this period of time, they had never asked Zi Chen his name or where he was from.
"That's bullshit." One of them said unceremoniously: "You are a guy like you and you still dare to claim to be a genius. The real genius of Yunxia City will scare you to death."
Zi Chen was not to be outdone and said: "How powerful are they? At my age, I don't believe they can reach the true essence realm?"
Zi Chen's words attracted everyone's disdainful eyes.
"At your age, boy, let me tell you the truth. Don't be scared to death. The number one genius in Yunxia City, Wang Qiong, had already reached the True Yuan realm when he was nineteen years old. The second genius, Wang Xianer, was eighteen and a half years old.
He was already in the True Yuan realm when he was 21." The man looked at Zi Chen proudly and said: "At your age, you haven't reached the Xiantian realm even at the age of twenty-one. You are like a toad staying in a well. You don't know how high the sky is.
.”
"What, the age of nineteen is the True Yuan realm?" Zi Chen was shocked and didn't care about other people's ridicule.
If calculated according to normal age, Zi Chen is already nineteen this year, almost twenty, but still not in the innate realm, while the other party is in the true element realm.
The gap between the two sides is so huge that it is almost as big as heaven and earth.
"No, you're lying." Zi Chen suddenly said: "Then he broke through to the True Yuan realm at the age of nineteen on the first day, and eighteen and a half on the second day. He was even more powerful than the first, so why is he second? You can't even lie to anyone.
Will cheat."
"Idiot." The man said proudly, "That's because Wang Xian'er is Wang Qiong's biological sister, so there is nothing to argue with her own brother."
"Although Wang Xianer claimed to the outside world that she had a breakthrough at the age of nineteen and a half, some interested people still found out that her potential was even greater than that of her brother, so she was directly hidden by the city lord."
"Hidden away by the city lord? Is the city lord a man?" Zi Chen suddenly asked.
"What are you thinking?" Everyone looked at Zi Chen with disdain, "The city lord is my father."
Zi Chen was ashamed.
The man seemed to be addicted. Zi Chen did not ask any more questions. In the midst of feeling inferior, the man added: "The brother and sister are very talented and powerful, but they have a weakness. They like to meddle in other people's business and fight against injustice. They are pure.
I have nothing to do when I’m full.”
"This is an advantage." Zi Chen muttered to himself.
"If a person like this is caught in his weakness, then...!" The man kept talking, as if he was addicted.
"Lao Ba, go see if there is any danger around you." Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded, interrupting the man's words.
Lao Ba reacted, quickly closed his mouth, glared at Zi Chen fiercely, turned around and left.
After Lao Ba left, the place fell into silence, except for the crackling sound of the bonfire.
There was no conversation all night, and in the early morning of the next day, everyone finished eating and continued on their way.
"Why hasn't Lao Jiu come back?" It's the same question again.
"Is he addicted to killing? Didn't he tell him to hurry up?" someone else said.
Zi Chen was indifferent before, but after hearing the conversation between the two, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, a masked man whose whole body was covered by black clothes.
"Is he Lao Jiu?" Zi Chen's heart moved.
It's a pity that he didn't see the masked man's true face that day. Suddenly, Zi Chen looked at their weapons. They were all swords, and they were very similar to the masked man's weapons.
"Could it be them? They are instigating the masked men to kill the villagers, but for what purpose?" Zi Chen's expression was unnatural.
No one paid any attention to Zi Chen along the way. He was just a passerby. Precisely because no one cared about him, they did not avoid him when talking.
"What will happen to Lao Jiu?"
"Impossible, what can a bunch of ants do to Lao Jiu? He definitely thinks the matter is not big enough, so he wants to make it bigger."
Zi Chen was horrified when he heard this, and there was a fire burning in his heart. He didn't expect that the masked man had accomplices, and they were all cruel guys.
Zi Chen's heart was very confused. The masked men were in the same group as them. Birds of a feather flock together. These people were definitely murderous beings. If he was left to deliver the message, he would obviously be destined to die.
He wanted to leave, but he felt extremely bad. It seemed that there was a poisonous snake hiding in the dark that could kill him at any time.
Zi Chen remained calm, watching the changes, ready to leave at any time.
On the second day, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Zi Chen's mind, as if he understood why they did what they did.
Lao Ba was stopped in the middle of what he was saying that day. Zi Chen seemed to be able to guess what he meant after two days of thinking, "Seize this weakness, deliberately find something to lure them out, and then kill them."
Already."
"Their target is those two brothers and sisters." Zi Chen was shocked in his heart. These people were so brave. They even dared to touch the children of the city lord of Yunxia City. They were so ambitious.
"No, those two brothers and sisters are at least in the True Yuan realm and are recognized geniuses. They are naturally strong. How can they rely on these idiots?" Zi Chen rejected this guess in his heart.
Suddenly his eyes turned to the carriage. This was an unusual team. Everyone had problems, the mercenaries did it, the bearded man did it, but what about the seriously ill one in the carriage?
"Could it be that the one in the carriage is the strongest one, a being far beyond the True Yuan realm?" Zi Chen's heart instantly turned cold, and he felt a chill in the air he breathed in.
If it was as guessed, he would definitely die. And in this case, he wouldn't even dare to run.
"I hope the brothers and sisters don't come out, otherwise they will all be doomed." This is a careful calculation, a conspiracy against the Wang brothers and sisters. Once they appear, Zi Chen guesses that they will be killed with one strike. Then when the time comes, they will fight the rabbits.
I brought myself with me by the way.
Zi Chen followed a few people absentmindedly.
A few days later, everyone was approaching Yunxia City. The previously peaceful atmosphere seemed much more tense. Zi Chen had no chance to escape during these few days. He prayed in his heart that Wuzong's people would chase him, but it did not happen.
"Through this canyon, you will reach Yunxia City." The middle-aged man gave Zi Chen a rare explanation.
The atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and everyone walked towards the canyon.
There are steep canyons on both sides of the valley, but they are very spacious. They are not afraid of being attacked by rolling rocks from above. The canyon is deep and quiet, and the breeze in the air is slightly chilly. Everyone walks very slowly and carefully, guarding the surroundings until they reach the center of the valley.
, suddenly a slight tremor sounded.
"Buzz!"
The sky and the earth changed, and the space began to tremble and twist, and then a sword light shattered the void and appeared, carrying a deep chill and boundless murderous intent, rushing towards the crowd.
"Be careful, there is an ambush." The middle-aged man yelled loudly, his whole body was shining brightly, and the energy surrounding his body surface, a powerful aura burst out, he raised his hand and struck at the sword light.
"boom!"
The sword's light was sharp and its killing intent was boundless, but when it faced the middle-aged man's attack, there was a sudden explosion. In an instant, more than ten long swords were broken into pieces, but there were still more long swords that passed through the middle-aged man.
