In the next five days, everyone kept walking at a leisurely pace, crossing three state capitals in a row, and finally only half a day's journey from Yanzhou.
The expected robbery and murder did not occur, but the atmosphere was always a bit solemn.
Even Song Xiaoshan, who had always been talkative, was infected by this atmosphere and became a little taciturn.
The horses they had prepared earlier were already overwhelmed, but fortunately they were all strong men with martial arts roots. They were replaced by demons to pull the cart, and the others walked on foot, which did not delay the journey.
"Through this canyon, the front is the boundary of Yanzhou."
Ge Xinyue took off the cloak used to block the wind and sand, pointed to the black line-like mountain gorge in front of her, and said solemnly: "If someone wants to ambush us, this will be the best choice."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Mu Ningqiu took off the water bag, moistened her lips slightly, and said with firm eyes: "No matter who comes, I will send my aunt safely to Yanzhou."
Ge Xinyue's expression moved slightly, but she didn't speak.
The atmosphere among everyone was so solemn, and the main reason was Mu Hongxiu.
As early as two days ago, Mu Hongxiu's old injury finally recurred and she fell into a coma completely. Even the most knowledgeable Beidi was helpless, because there were too many factors that led to Mu Hongxiu's coma. In addition to the injuries caused by Dong Ao's punch, the life-threatening battle against the five thousand extremely demonic knights alone The war, as well as the damage caused by the previous demonic energy entering her body, caused many problems in her body.
If she hadn't relied on elixirs to keep her breath going, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on here.
However, the elixirs Ge Xinyue carried with her could only temporarily relieve her injuries. If she wanted to fully recover, she would have to use the treasures of the Yanzhou Palace.
However, it is unknown whether Mu Hongxiu's current condition can sustain her until then.
"Brother, can't the power of the fundamental method help?" Ling'er, who was walking side by side with Lu Li, suddenly asked in a low voice after noticing that the atmosphere had become more depressing.
When Lu Li heard this, he shook his head slightly.
The power of the fundamental method can warm and nourish the heart, and its source is in the heart. It is a powerful method that can directly improve the level of life. But after all, Lu Li didn't have much time to invest. In just two days, even if he just improvised, the golden power he could cultivate was just a drop in the bucket.
"Hey, it would be nice if Zhai Xing was here. This kind of minor injury can be cured by Zhai Xing by lifting his finger."
The oppressive atmosphere in the past few days made the little fur ball feel uncomfortable. Seeing Ling'er's mood drop after Lu Li shook his head, it couldn't help but sigh.
"With the pills we have in hand now, it is not difficult to keep King Yan alive. As long as we speed up our journey and get to Yanzhou as soon as possible, all difficulties will be solved."
Lu Li exhaled a breath of filthy air and said with slightly focused eyes, "As long as there are no blind people looking for death, we can reach the boundary of Yanzhou before sunset."
"I have already notified the members of the Yanzhou area. They will meet us in the canyon. If someone is really kidnapped and killed, Her Royal Highness the Princess will take them away first, and Lu Li and I will take the rear."
Although Ge Xinyue was anxious at this time, she didn't show it at all on her face. Her tone remained calm and she arranged the next things in an orderly manner.
And the people she was talking about were naturally Mu Hongxiu, Ling'er, Ding Lingxi and Bai Bai.
As for Beidi, Feng Ling, and Song Xiaoshan, Ge Xinyue didn't trust them. Currently, the only people she can trust are Mu Ningqiu and Lu Li.
Lu Li had no objection to this arrangement and nodded slightly to show that he understood.
As for Mu Ningqiu, she frowned, but for the sake of the overall situation, she still agreed.
After all, once the war starts, the unconscious Mu Hongxiu, Ling'er who has no cultivation level, and Ding Lingxi in the Tongxuan realm will be completely burdensome.
As Grandmaster Mingyou, she can naturally protect them from leaving safely when there are people behind them.
Although Feng Ling and Song Xiaoshan were ignored, they were not dissatisfied. If a battle really happens next, as warriors in the Immortal Realm, the two of them can also play a big role.
Although Ge Xinyue didn't trust the two of them, it was enough for them as long as they remembered what they should do.
"Speed up your pace and cross the canyon before sunset."
After Lu Li finished speaking in a low voice, he covered half of his face with a simple scarf on his chin, held Ling'er's little hand, and walked forward silently.
Seeing this scene, Ding Lingxi was a little disgusted, but still didn't say anything. After all, Ling'er's body was really weak, but in order not to become a burden to everyone, she traveled for two days without complaining or complaining. If it weren't for Lu Li's subconscious protective behavior, Ling'er would have refused even this kind of 'care'.
Although Ding Lingxi is a bit petty, she still admires Ling'er, a girl with a pitiful background but very strong character.
However, Bai Bai on the side noticed her subtle emotional changes, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked: "Little saint, are you sad?"
"Don't worry about it." Ding Lingxi snorted, too lazy to pay attention to her.
The two of them were still in the stage of anger. Ding Lingxi would not even bother to say a word to Bai Bai if it was not necessary.
Bai Bai knew that she was still angry that she had taken it upon herself to contact the head of the Ye Sect, which was her father's act of sending someone to Yanzhou to take over.
Originally, Ding Lingxi was thinking that she would have the opportunity to deepen her relationship with Lu Li when she arrived in Yanzhou. However, she was worried that she would do something stupid again, so she decided to inform Ding Lingxi's father and let him know when he arrived safely in Yanzhou. The sect leader can go and worry about the mess caused by his daughter's impulsiveness.
But this behavior undoubtedly frustrated Ding Lingxi's plan, so she still 'carries a grudge' against Bai Bai and refuses to talk to her.
The atmosphere fell silent again, and everyone finally entered the gorge.
The sun gradually set, and twilight enveloped the entire canyon and shone on them.
Since entering the canyon, everyone has cheered up and is always paying attention to any disturbance. Even Lu Li opened his exploratory eyes and carefully observed every corner in case an ambush enemy suddenly appeared.
Under the eyes of probing, no amount of aura can be hidden. It is naturally a powerful weapon to avoid possible ambush.
However, they didn't find anything unusual along the way, and Lu Li was slightly relieved.
Ge Xinyue's tense expression also softened a bit, and she said softly: "It seems that those people are not brave enough yet."
When Lu Li heard this, he felt it was a bit funny. Ge Xinyue, who had always been serious and cold, could actually tell such a "naughty" joke. It seemed that since Mu Hongxiu fell, she was really in too tight a state. Stretched.
So Lu Li twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, suppressing a smile and said, "With Sister Ge in charge, of course those thieves won't dare to come here to die."
Ge Xinyue couldn't hear Lu Li's teasing, so she looked at him meaningfully, smiled slightly, and didn't care too much.
Between these two sentences, the atmosphere in the crowd relaxed slightly. They were about to cross the canyon and enter the territory of Yanzhou. No matter how courageous those who wanted Mu Hongxiu to die were, they would not dare to cross the border in Yanzhou. Assassinate her openly within range.
In other words, they are almost through the most dangerous moment.
However.
Just when everyone was about to put their hearts back in their stomachs, Mo Yi suddenly raised his head, and a vigilant growl came from his throat.
As a ferocious beast, its magical senses are even sharper than a warrior's spiritual sense, and it has a very terrifying instinct especially for dangerous auras.
When it showed this appearance, everyone immediately became alert.
Lu Li looked in the direction of the demon's roar. In the field of vision of his exploratory eyes, dozens of huge twisted auras appeared in the void!
"This is… "
Lu Li's face darkened, and he reached out to grab the sword case. The two long swords, Canglang and Longqi, were tilted out, in the most suitable position for being pulled out.
at the same time.
One after another, figures wearing black armor walked out of the void, barely blinking, and the densely packed figures occupied the exit of the canyon.
The leader was a warrior with a deep aura. He held a spear in his hand and crushed a stone under his feet, making an extremely harsh sound.
Then, he raised his head, revealing an angular face, and said coldly: "You can't go back."
