At noon, Xia Yan had dinner with Hall Master Pang Yuan.
afternoon. Xia Yan sat in Su Li's attached courtyard for a while, and chatted with Su Li, Su Qin and his daughter. The Su family's cloth clothing business is also booming, and now the Su family controls almost 50% of the clothing business in the cities around Ziye City. Su Qin was also very happy to see Xia Yan, since Xia Yan left Ziye City, she never saw Xia Yan again.
Of course, the Su family is mainly engaged in the clothing business, which is relatively simple. It is still incomparable with the business of the four major families. The industries involved in the four major families are involved in almost every field.
After leaving the attached courtyard of the Su family, Xia Yan went to the extreme challenge hall to find Meng Chang, and then asked Meng Chang to contact the president of the auction house, the president of the mercenary hall, the patriarch of the Qi family, and the patriarch of the Xu family.
In the evening, Xia Yan had dinner with these people who were all very high status in Purple Leaf City. During the banquet, they talked about some meaningless things, but Xia Yan naturally got closer to them. These people also knew that Xia Yan had a bad relationship with the Lu and Song families, but they were not afraid of these two families. In comparison. They prefer to be closer to Xia Yan.
If not, there would not be six people supporting Xia Yan to challenge the head of the temple in Yushui City at the temple meeting during the day. One must know that Pang Yuan, the lord of the hall, is obviously on Xia Yan's side.
Xia Yan's doing this to win over the relationship with several temple deacons naturally has a deep meaning. Because in the near future, Xia Yan may use the power of these people, so naturally he needs to contact him first.
In the early morning of the second day, when the sun was rising, Xia Yan and Xiao Qing were about to leave Ziye City for Yushui City.
Because there was Steward Zhang from the temple accompanying him, Xia Yan had no choice but to hire two carriages from a carriage and horse shop. In fact, Xia Yan and Xiaoqing still need to hire a carriage even if there is no manager Zhang.
Because the six guards hired by Dean Liu Yun did not agree to stay in Ziye City.
Xia Yan and Xiaoqing can leave Ziye City, but they must follow and protect Xiaoqing's safety.
What they meant was that this was Liu Yun's order and they could not disobey it. Seeing this, Xia Yan had no choice but to let them go. Anyway, Mr. Zhang had to go too, so we might as well go together.
The two carriages slowly drove out of the south gate of Purple Leaf City along the street, and then gradually accelerated.
On the official road in the early morning, a cloud of smoke and dust was raised!
From Ziye City to Yushui City, there is a county town and dozens of towns to go through. Xia Yan didn't make everyone rush. So everyone should eat and eat, and should rest.
According to the current speed of several people, it will take about six to seven days to reach Yushui City.
"Gululu..."
The carriage is drifting away!
…
At noon three days later, the carriage continued to move forward. There were no cities and towns during this distance, and no one had eaten since morning. But among the crowd, except Xiaoqing who is not a cultivator, it doesn't matter if they don't eat for a day or two.
Xiaoqing brought some snacks, so naturally she won't be hungry.
Today's sky is a bit gloomy, as if it is going to rain. Now it is the end of March in a year, and there is a lot of rain in a year. Spring is coming, and along the way, some wild flowers have been seen in full bloom.
"There seems to be a mountain range ahead!" Xia Yan looked at the terrain outside through the window. In the lush mountain forest, some birds fly out from time to time.
Xia Yan is also not familiar with the road from Purple Leaf City to Yushui City. This is the first time he has returned to Yushui City since he left Yushui City. Xia Yan only walked this road once.
"Brother Xia Yan. What are you looking at?!" Seeing Xia Yan staring outside, Xiaoqing tilted her head and blinked her long eyelashes, and asked curiously.
Xia Yan came back to his senses, looked at Xiaoqing, and smiled, "It looks like it's going to rain, I don't know if it will rain, but if it rains, it may delay the trip."
If it rains heavily, the road may be muddy and the carriage will be difficult to travel.
"It's okay, it's better to be late, we're going to the town ahead, let's take a good rest. Xiaoqing, are you tired from the continuous driving these days?!" Xia Yan continued.
Xiaoqing shook her head, her eyes were bright, she shook her head, "I'm not tired."
"Woo woo woo..."
The earth dog shook its short tail, looked at Xia Yan, and made a whining sound.
Xia Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at it, the earth dog grinned, his green eyes drooping.
"Look, Xiaoqing, I asked you if you were tired, but it was still tired." Xia Yan pointed to the dirt dog and said to Xiaoqing.
Having been with the earth dog for a long time, although the earth dog can't speak, Xia Yan can already understand the meaning of most of its actions. The behavior of the earth dog just now means that it is tired.
"Hehe." Xiaoqing touched the dog's nose and smiled coquettishly.
…
"Hoo..."
"come yet?!"
in the mountains. A gray figure was lying on the ground, its eyes narrowed into a thin line. He was wearing a bamboo hat, but he could still see a very scary scar on his face. In his hand, there was also a long, thin knife with a thick cloth wrapped around the handle.
"Hey, there seem to be a lot of people in the two carriages. Well, we must kill them all." The man suddenly moved his body, stood up like a ghost, and a cold light burst out from his eyes.
Suddenly, the long knife in his hand shook slightly, and there was a deep knife sound.
"Whizzing… "
The figure jumped three times in a row, and then reached the top of a mountain, looking into the distance.
Several hundred meters away, two black dots are approaching.
The long knife slowly unsheathed. The body of the knife unexpectedly showed a strange red color, as if it had been soaked in blood for a hundred years. A murderous aura gradually spread. However, this murderous aura only condensed around his body and did not spread out.
Two meters outside his body. You can't feel this chilling breath.
This person has a nickname, 'Blood Wolf'!
The people who died at his hands, even he himself did not count. The blood wolf is ruthless, and his target has never been killed. Many temples in the main city are wanted, but after several years, no one has been able to find him and kill him.
And now, the blood wolf has broken through to the realm of the Spirit Sect. The strength is very powerful.
He controlled the murderous aura around his body, which is exactly the control of spiritual power by a strong spiritual sect. The murderous aura is in the spiritual power gathered around the body.
quiet!
In the eyes of the blood wolf, two terrifying rays of light shot straight ahead, but the body remained motionless, like a rock. Between his nostrils, the breath fluctuations were very weak.
"Gululu..."
"One hundred meters..."
"Fifty meters..."
"Thirty meters..."
"Ten meters..."
The blood wolf kept staring at the carriage and slowly approached. At this point, he still didn't move until...
"Hit..." Suddenly, the blood wolf raised the weapon in his hand, and quickly slashed at the two carriages twice, and suddenly two sharp saber aura swept towards the two carriages like lightning.
The knife breath made a sharp cry in the air.
"not good!"
Xia Yan was in the carriage, his heart skipped a beat, and then he felt a surge of spiritual power outside the carriage where he and Xiaoqing were. With a stretch of his arm, Xiaoqing was taken out of the carriage in an instant.
The earth dog also raised its head and jumped out. Lu Youyou's eyes suddenly burst into light, and she stomped out with all four hooves.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
With two loud bangs in a row, the two carriages were completely shattered into pieces, several maned horses raised their hooves in a row in shock, and several coachmen also lay on the ground trembling. Although the saber energy wielded by the strong Lingzong has been consumed a lot from the top of the mountain to the bottom, it still defeated the two carriages in an instant.
In the carriage behind, there were two guards and Guanshi Zhang. They didn't have Xia Yan's strength, and before they got out of the carriage, the saber air struck them down.
"Who is it?!" Xia Yan's eyes suddenly focused, and he looked at the gray figure on the top of the mountain in an instant.
This hill is only tens of meters high. With Xia Yan's eyesight, he could clearly see this person.
Turning his eyes, Xia Yan looked at Guanshi Zhang and others behind him. Guan Zhang is fine, his face is a little pale, and two of the six guards seem to have suffered minor injuries. But it's okay.
"Mr. Xia Yan, what happened?!"
Guanshi Zhang is only an early-stage spiritual master. He didn't understand what happened when a saber qi slashed just now.
"Someone wants to kill us!" Xia Yan sneered and looked at the top of the mountain again.
At this time, the gray shadow on the top of the mountain disappeared.
"Turk dog, protect Xiaoqing!" Xia Yan ordered the dirt dog, and his five senses were opened.
Obviously, this opponent is very strong, and there are not many people who can suddenly disappear in front of Xia Yan.
"Aww..."
The earth dog let out a low cry, and blocked Xiaoqing behind him. Xiaoqing didn't look too surprised, but kept her eyes on Xia Yan.
"This person's strength is so strong, obviously he is not an ordinary robber. It is very likely that he came specifically for me. Hmph... wants to kill me..." Xia Yan's thoughts turned in his mind, guessing the identity of the other party.
"Whoosh..."
A wind shadow fluttered, and the gray figure appeared again. This time he was not on the top of the mountain, but more than ten meters directly in front of Xia Yan. Under the bamboo hat, two fierce rays of light flickered.
"Lingzong?!" Xia Yan was also taken aback. He felt the spiritual power flowing around the body of the man in gray. If the spiritual power can be gathered and not dispersed, that is the symbol of the Lingzong.
Although Xia Yan's power is much stronger than that of the early Lingzong, he still cannot control the spiritual power of the outside world.
"You are Xia Yan?!" The gray-clothed man's voice was cold and ruthless, with a cold hoarseness, asking each word.
"Who are you? Have I seen you?!" Xia Yan frowned slightly and asked tentatively.
"I'm Blood Wolf, we haven't met before. Hey, I'm here, I've been waiting for you for two whole days." Blood Wolf didn't act right away, he seemed to be very interested in Xia Yan. He has also heard a lot about Xia Yan. At the age of sixteen, his strength is still so strong.
And that dog, people from the Lu family said that this dog is also very strong, it can transform, it is comparable to an early stage great spiritual master, and its best is speed!
The blood wolf's strange eyes turned from Xia Yan to Tugou, and then to Xiaoqing.
