C211 One line sky
On this day, Meng Mansion and the rest finally walked out of the desert, arriving on a land they had not seen for a long time. Seeing the lush green and the towering ancient trees in the distance, everyone felt an indescribable sense of joy, and finally walked out.
"Qin Xuan, we will be passing through a sky, then we will reach the Long Peaks City. At that time, you can choose to leave on your own, whether you want to stay in the Meng Mansion, or head to the War Dragon City, and borrow their power to leave." Meng Hongxue said to Qin Xuan.
"Many thanks for Miss's reminder. I, Qin, am deeply grateful." Qin Xuan cupped his fists and said.
After ten days of rest, his internal injuries had mostly healed, and he had recovered about seventy to eighty percent of his strength. If he left Meng Mansion, he would have the power to protect himself.
"Qin Xuan, are you really going to leave the Meng Mansion?" In his heart, he hoped that Qin Xuan would stay. After all, Qin Xuan was simply too young, even if he managed to recover his strength, he was still lacking when compared to the terrifying geniuses of the Snowfall City.
"That's right, I have already decided. After my injuries completely recover, I will head over to the Snowfall City." Qin Xuan looked at Luo Li, and joked: "What, Elder Luo still can't bear to part with me?"
"Brat, that mouth of yours!" Luo Li rolled his eyes at Qin Xuan, his expression became serious and sincere: "There are so many heaven's pride level experts in Snowfall City, with your current strength, I'm afraid that going there would cause you trouble, so you might as well stay in Meng Family and prepare yourself."
However, Qin Xuan shook his head and said: "It's because there are so many Heaven's Pride in Snowfall City that I have to go there and witness the glory of many of the Heaven's Pride disciples. To encourage myself, if I only wanted some peace, I wouldn't have come here."
"Fine, since you've made up your mind, I won't force you." Elder Luo sighed and didn't say anything else.
When the other domestic servant heard the two's conversation, they also sunk into deep thought. They were of the same age as Qin Xuan, and lived in a higher class than him, but their gazes were far from being able to see too far, and their moods couldn't compare, causing them to reveal ashamed expressions.
Not long after, the group of figures arrived at a steep canyon. The canyon was extremely high and the passageway within was extremely narrow. There was only one path that one could take.
Looking at the canyon in front of him, Qin Xuan frowned, he felt that this canyon was a little strange, and gave him a kind of unusual feeling, but seeing the others smiling, without a trace of worry, he did not say anything.
"I hope I'm overthinking it." Due to the influence of Fan Feng's assassination last time, he had become much more sensitive now, and was extremely cautious towards anything that was out of the ordinary.
"Miss, the sky is just right in front of us. Should we stop for a rest or head straight back?" Luo Li asked the carriage.
"Let's hurry on our way. We should get to the clan as soon as possible." Meng Hongxue's voice came from the carriage, with a hint of weariness in his voice.
"Yes." Old Luo bowed as he replied, then immediately issued an order: "Continue moving forward."
Qin Xuan's frown deepened, he felt that something was wrong with the canyon, and there was even a faint killing intent there. After thinking for a bit, he decided to say it out loud.
He walked to Luo Li's side, his expression solemn, and said: "Old Luo, is this the only way to Long Peaks City? I feel that this valley is a little strange, if possible, I think we should change our route."
Hearing that, the other domestic servant s all laughed, and looked at Qin Xuan with a strange expression.
One of them said playfully: "Qin Xuan, you aren't afraid, right? Don't worry, I've walked this gorge many times. It's just that it looks scary, but it's not dangerous at all. "
"I really feel that this canyon is a bit unusual. Did none of you notice it?" Qin Xuan said extremely seriously, his expression extremely solemn, as if he was dealing with an extremely important matter.
Luo Li was silent for a moment, then looked at Qin Xuan and said with a smile: "Qin Xuan, there is indeed more than one path to Long Peaks City, but you do not need to worry, very few people from the Heaven Line have come, it will be fine."
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Qin Xuan could only say helplessly: "Since that's the case, then let's go this way."
Although he said that, he was still worried in his heart. He was unable to use his cultivation, and in the event of danger, Meng Mansion and the rest were not enough, and could not protect Meng Hongxue at all.
"Looks like we can only act according to the circumstances." Qin Xuan muttered in his heart, praying that he thought too much into this matter. Otherwise, the matter would become troublesome to handle.
Not long after, the team entered a line of the sky. It was very empty inside, and from time to time, bird cries could be heard echoing from the mountain walls. It sounded like the sound of rhododendrons crying out blood for a long time, making people feel terrified.
Everything seemed to have gone smoothly, all the way to the central region in the canyon.
"Qin Xuan, what did I say? I've come here countless times and nothing will happen, am I right?" The person who had spoken earlier spoke once again. His expression was one of complacency, and his tone was tinged with a hint of bragging.
Just as he finished speaking, Qin Xuan's pupils contracted, his expression changed, and he shouted: "Not good, there are many people rushing over, protect the young miss!"
As the sound of his voice faded, everyone's body trembled violently. Instantly, many of their bodies started to move, exploding forth with auras. They surrounded the carriage, their gazes as sharp as knives.
However, after several dozen seconds passed, no unusual movements could be heard. The surrounding environment was exactly the same as before, causing everyone to frown and appear somewhat displeased.
"Qin Xuan, what are you talking about? Do you know what the consequences of your actions are?!" Someone said to Qin Xuan with an extremely angry expression.
The other people also looked at Qin Xuan with unsightly expressions. They thought that Qin Xuan was afraid from the bottom of his heart, which was why he kept imagining what would happen here. However, it was not like what he imagined.
"Qin Xuan, get in the car. It's not suitable for you to be in the outside world." Luo Li said to Qin Xuan with a gentle tone.
A bitter smile appeared on Qin Xuan's lips as he shook his head and said bitterly: "It's already useless, they have come."
Seemingly to prove Qin Xuan's words, over 10 sounds of breaking wind came out from the canyon. A group of figures slowly walked over with extremely fast speed, all of them releasing powerful Qi.
In the blink of an eye, those people had already arrived in the air above Meng Mansion as they looked down at the people below with arrogance.
"If I'm not wrong, you are all people of the Meng Family, right?" There was a deep scar on his face, which made people feel fear just by looking at him.
"This …" At this moment, the hearts of the people below were beating violently, and were incomparably shocked, if they still could not see that Qin Xuan's words were true, then it would be too foolish.
Compared to other people, Luo Li's shock was even more intense. The reason why he disapproved of Qin Xuan's words was because he was confident in his own cultivation. With his Yuanfu Stage, how could Qin Xuan feel any kind of strange aura?
However, it turned out that Qin Xuan was right.
Hearing the man outside, Meng Hongxue walked out of the carriage, looking at him with her beautiful eyes, she asked: "That's right, we are from the Long Peaks City, who are you, and why are you obstructing our path?"
"You must be Meng Hongxue right? Come with me, I'm not interested in the others." That person said in a light tone. There was no doubt in his voice.
"Who exactly are you? Why should I go with you?" When Meng Hongxue heard that the other party wanted to bring her away, her face revealed a look of doubt.
Qin Xuan's eyes flickered, the people in the sky seemed to have sensed something.
All of them had Yuanfu Stage cultivation at the third level of Most Powerful One. Furthermore, they claimed that as long as Meng Hongxue was present, it proved that they were not bandits.
More!" They knew that these people came from the Meng Family. From this, it could be seen that they didn't do it as they wished. They had done it in advance.
Right now, there were only three possible explanations. Either they had been waiting for a long time at the end of the line, or they had calculated the time when these people would return, or it could be said that there was a traitor among them!
Although Qin Xuan did not want to believe it, the voice in his heart told him that the third possibility was much more likely!
After all, they had stayed in the Setting Sun Desert for a long time, and it was difficult to predict the time. Furthermore, this was not the only route to Long Peaks City, so the possibility of the two in front was extremely small.
Once he thought to this point, Qin Xuan's expression did not change, and his gaze slowly swept across the other people's faces, but he did not discover anything. Everyone's expression was the same;
Luo Li's figure rose into the air, and coldly spoke to the middle-aged man: "May I know your background, and whether or not you know the Long Peaks City, it would be too much for you to say that you want to bring my Young Miss away!"
"Meng Family?" The middle-aged man sneered, revealed a look of disdain, and said: "Long Peaks City only knows about Feng Family, as for what kind of trash is Meng Family, I really do know, so I naturally don't care."
"How dare you!" Luo Li's face instantly turned ashen. This was the first time he had heard someone dare to make such a comment about a Meng Family.
Ignoring Luo Li, the middle-aged man's cold gaze directly fell on Meng Hongxue, and he said indifferently: "Miss Meng, I'll give you one more chance to choose. In three breaths of time, you'll take the initiative to leave with us, and these people can return to the Meng Mansion and report back safe and sound.
Hearing that, Meng Hongxue's face immediately turned white, as white as paper, her heart was in a mess, she did not know what to do.
If he followed these people and left, then it would be a narrow escape, but if he did not go, then the Meng Mansion would be affected and the result would be the same.
"Who is it that disturbed my cultivation? I'll give you all three breaths' time to leave, otherwise, all of you can stay."
Just as Meng Hongxue was at a loss for words, in the cold and desolate canyon, a voice filled with vicissitudes of life sounded out, causing everyone's expression to change.
