"Humph, Inspector Luo, don't speak so sarcastically here.
Though you and Palace Master Xiao have had some grievances, you are both members of the Heavenly Court. Palace Master Xiao has now perished in the Nethercold Immortal Mansion—are you still going to kick the Northern Cold Immortal Palace while it is down?!"
Xue Ying had been in a terrible mood lately. After their expedition to the Nethercold Immortal Mansion, they had not only lost Xiao Jinhan, but Gongshu Jiu had also vanished and had most likely perished. Their losses had been devastating.
Just as Xue Ying was scrambling to keep the Northern Cold Immortal Palace afloat, Luo Hong suddenly came calling, leaving her no choice but to deal with him.
"Fairy, you misunderstand. Luo did not come here this time to laugh at your Northern Cold Immortal Palace.
Luo has finished his business in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain and now intends to return to the Black Mountain Immortal Domain. I came only to hitch a ride with a cross-domain merchant caravan."
The best way to cross the Savage Lands was undoubtedly through a Star Gate Teleportation Array. However, traveling alongside a cross-domain merchant caravan was safe enough, aside from being somewhat slower.
First, every merchant caravan had more than one Taiyi Cultivator overseeing it. Second, the caravans flew under the Heavenly Court's banner. Other than those ferocious beasts without intelligence, virtually no one would dare attack them.
Unfortunately, cross-domain merchant caravans generally only accepted Heavenly Court personnel. Otherwise, Luo Hong would certainly have considered bringing Old Demon Han along.
Forget it. Though Old Demon Han has suffered plenty along the way, he has also stumbled upon countless opportunities. I'd better not interfere.
"Then Inspector Luo has come at just the right time. The Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan only arrived yesterday.
