Azure Hawk Stronghold was usually stationed within Flying Hawk Ravine, and they had committed no small number of robberies and home invasions along the way. They were mountain bandits through and through!
But on this journey, with soulmasters like Zhong Sanxiao at the Heaven Soul Realm Late Stage and Lin Wuhu, whose strength neared the Heaven Soul Realm, among them, neither Lu Feng nor his group showed any panic as they openly passed through the Flying Hawk Ravine, which stretched for several li.
Clatter, clatter, clatter...
Just as they were about to leave Flying Hawk Ravine, the sound of several Fast Horses in pursuit suddenly drew near.
Zhong Sanxiao's expression darkened. Just as he was about to act and drive them off, Lu Feng stopped him.
"Leave two Fast Horses," Lu Feng calmly instructed Lin Wuhu, who had already halted the carriage behind them and gone to face the bandits.
Once Zhong Sanxiao sensed that the strongest among the five or six mountain bandits was only at the Earth Soul Realm Initial Stage, he lost any desire to intervene and instead curiously asked Lu Feng why he needed the horses.
Lu Feng explained, "We still need to make preparations before heading to the Chu Family. Relying solely on the goods in those three carts behind us, I fear not only will we fail to persuade the Chu Family, but they may even ridicule us."
Lin Bairu froze for a moment, then exclaimed, "You want the Fast Horses so you can head to Profound Gold City ahead of us?"
Lu Feng nodded and explained, "I have met the Sun Family Young Miss and the Luo Family Young Master before. Last night, I took several 'Business Contracts' from Uncle Wuhu, hoping to see whether I could obtain help from their two families."
