C32 Disputes outside the city of ziyang
The next day, early in the morning.
On the public road of the Violet Sun County, a group of nearly a hundred people hurried on their way.
In one of the horse carriages, Gu Hao raised the curtains, looked outside, and then looked back to Lin Youyou who was in her embrace.
Last night, after meeting Lin Youyou, Gu Hao did not return to the Ziyang City. Instead, he chose to meet up with the Lin Family's migration team with Lin Youyou together.
After all, Lin Youyou was a woman, and her cultivation was only at the middle stages of the Earth Origin Stage, how could she withstand the combined attacks of so many cultivators? Even if she had planned all this beforehand, she still had a slim chance of survival.
Gu Hao would naturally not leave. Although he was still a Earth Elemental Cultivator, his true strength was indeed comparable to a Sky Origin Stage cultivator. Furthermore, there was the Reincarnation Pendant s Cha Chaer. Although the old man was still asleep, after the matter at the blacksmith shop last time, Gu Hao was confident that he could wake Cha Chaer up anytime.
As long as Cha Chaer was present, then in this entire world, there weren't many people who could trap Gu Hao.
As for Yi Yang and the others, Gu Hao had only borrowed them to get out of seclusion. Moreover, their goal was to make a move on the Lin Family, while Gu Hao's goal was to protect the Lin Family, the two were destined to be enemies and not friends. This way, Gu Hao would naturally not care about them.
Of course, if they truly dared to make a move against the Lin Family, Gu Hao would not be merciful.
"Yeah, we're all on the official road. This way is safe, Bandit are few. " Lin Youyou replied softly as she laid in Gu Hao's embrace.
"Although there are not many Bandit on the public road, it's too obvious, it's easy to reveal your whereabouts and be discovered by those cultivators who covet the Lin Family." Gu Hao said.
Lin Youyou laughed and sat up from Gu Hao's embrace. She held Gu Hao's arm and explained: "You think they can't find us just because we're following the small path? Those people, they are basically everywhere, we can't escape their eyes. Furthermore, we have no intention of dodging it at all. "
"However, those people are too cautious. Very few would dare to make a move along the way. "Even if someone were to make a move occasionally, they would at most be an Earthly Yuan Early Stage cultivator. If they can't even beat me, what about the group of mercenaries outside?" As he said that, Lin Youyou reached out and lifted the curtains, looking at the mercenary dressed as a Lin Family servant.
Currently, out of nearly a hundred people in the Lin Clan's migration party, there were less than ten who truly belonged to the Lin Clan. The rest were all mercenaries that Lin Youyou had used her wealth to exchange for money.
This was not a rare occurrence in the Scorching Sun Continent. Many clans that went out to do business would spend money to hire cultivators specialized in the field of protection.
This kind of cultivator was someone whose cultivation base had stagnated for many years and had no hope of breaking through. Due to their inability to break through the shackles of many years, they had shifted their focus away from cultivation and placed it on the interests of money instead. Thus, there would be a business where commissions were collected and mercenaries hired to serve them.
Of course, becoming a mercenary was not that simple.
Every single mercenary in the Sunscorch Continent had been selected through a special mercenary organization. Mercenaries must not only have the faith to protect their employers with their lives, but they must also have unshakable principles.
Otherwise, in the process of being escorted by a mercenary, if the employer had any ill intentions towards the money or treasures on their body, that would be a fatal injury to the employer.
On the Sunscorch Continent, there were quite a few people who had done this. However, in the end, the mercenaries had all gathered together and formed a mercenary alliance. It was specifically designed to keep the mercenaries under control. The moment a mercenary rebellion was discovered, they would mobilize all the mercenaries to attack them.
From then on, the matter of a mercenary killing his way through the ranks became rarer and rarer.
As for the mercenaries that Lin Youyou hired, they were Death Soldiers amongst mercenaries. Most of them were not only cultivators from the Earth Origin Stage Realm, there were even three Tianyuan cultivators. Moreover, among them, there were two Silver rank professional killers from Waving Slowly. Such a lineup, if made public, would be enough to intimidate and intimidate all the heroes.
However, Lin Youyou did not announce it to the public, and had even spread the news. It attracted a large number of cultivators to covet it.
This was Lin Youyou's true goal.
It was fine if he didn't want the money.
However, he had to take revenge.
Not only did he have to take revenge, he had to take revenge as well. He would make those who coveted the Lin Clan and harbored malicious intentions pay a painful price.
Gu Hao smiled and rubbed Lin Youyou's head, saying: "Wait, when there's a conflict, you follow me. As soon as the situation changes, I'll bring you away."
"En!" Lin Youyou nodded, she believed in what Gu Hao had said without a doubt.
Disregarding everything else, just the fact that Gu Hao was heavily injured and had escaped under the watchful eyes of the Venerable One in the capital of the Wu was already enough to give Lin Youyou a sense of security.
Moreover, this man's Venerable Genius was from the past.
In Lin Youyou's heart, there seemed to be nothing that could not be done by Gu Hao.
This was also the reason why Lin Youyou agreed to have Gu Hao accompany him even though she knew how dangerous this trip was.
The carriage moved forward quickly, heading straight for Ziyang City.
When they were only a few kilometers away from Ziyang City, a spear suddenly shot over.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
The spear was inserted diagonally at the front of the line, blocking their advance.
"Shriek ~ ~"
In front of the caravan, the two men immediately reined in their horses. As they carefully looked around, they pulled out their sabers and shouted, "Protect the master!"
"Hua!"
The mercenaries in the caravan immediately pulled out their weapons and surrounded the carriage that Lin Youyou and the others were riding on, protecting them in the middle.
"Finally unable to hold it in?"
Gu Hao chuckled, his gaze flickering. His powerful Spiritual Sense had long since spread out and detected all of the surrounding Cultivators.
Every single one of their actions was currently under Gu Hao's control.
"Yes, this is their last chance. If we don't act now, when we enter the Ziyang City, there will be no more chances. " Lin Youyou released Gu Hao's shoulders, adjusted his body, and said softly as he slightly lifted the curtains. Just one Middle tier spirit weapon is enough to make them disregard everything else. "
Gu Hao patted Lin Youyou's shoulder. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly frowned, and spoke to the people outside the carriage to remind them: "Southwest direction, six Earth Elemental Cultivator s."
"Archers, prepare! To the southwest, shoot!"
In front of the caravan, a Heavenly Yuan expert on horseback shouted out to the mercenaries behind him.
Before he finished speaking, the archer who was already prepared immediately circulated his Origin Energy and shot out with the arrow.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Dozens of arrows flew across the sky, heading towards the southwest.
There, a group of six Earth Elemental Cultivator s were slowly approaching the convoy, preparing to take the lead to attack them. However, before they could even get close, they were discovered, and arrows rained down from the sky.
These arrows were different from the arrows of ordinary soldiers. Not only was the elemental energy in Earth Elemental Cultivator's body boosted by these arrows, the arrows were even smeared with a special poison. Even for the Earth Elemental Cultivator s, if they were unfortunate enough to be struck by an arrow, their cultivation would immediately disappear.
The arrows were shot so suddenly that the six cultivators weren't able to react in time. They didn't even understand what had happened before someone was shot.
Puff!
The arrow pierced through the chest of a defenseless cultivator, killing him on the spot.
"Retreat!"
A cultivator shouted, and at the same time reminding his comrades, he turned around and ran. However, at this moment, three arrows were shot out in succession, piercing his left shoulder and legs.
Plop!
This cultivator fell to the ground on the spot.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Puff!
Another arrow pierced through his chest from his back.
In the blink of an eye, the rain of arrows disappeared and the six Earth Elemental Cultivator s died a miserable death under the arrows.
"Southeast forest, five Earth Elemental Cultivator s. Directly west. Songgang. Two Earth Elemental Cultivator s and four Yang Realm cultivators. In the northwest direction, three Earth Elemental Cultivator s! "
Gu Hao sat on top of the carriage, and emitted out his spiritual sense to the surrounding cultivators who were aware of any movements, issuing a reminder.
Of course, every time Gu Hao spoke, a rain of arrows would follow and fly towards the direction he pointed to.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
To the cultivators who were hit by Gu Hao, this arrow seemed to have eyes, and accurately shot over, catching them off guard.
No one would have thought that from the very beginning, the cultivators of the Fiery Sun Continent would be completely suppressed by the Lin Clan's migration team with less than a hundred people.
Right at this moment, a figure soared into the air and swiftly headed towards the convoy while facing the rain of arrows.
The Sky Origin Stage cultivators finally couldn't bear it anymore and attacked!
