"You offended an immortal and were accidentally killed. Don't blame me for not warning you!"

Captain Shang's words startled everyone!

He actually died after going to the Immortal Realm.

Shouldn't all those who can become immortals be great philanthropists?

Ye Jing stood expressionless in the crowd, his only thought being to end this quickly.

After everyone dispersed...

They all went to rest!

Ye Jing hasn't made any special efforts to make friends these days, pretending to be an introverted and honest man.

Even if someone approaches him to talk, he just smiles reservedly.

Gradually, he was perceived as a taciturn person, and no one sought him out anymore!

Late at night.

Ye Jing leaned against a carriage and slowly opened his eyes.

He looked up at a box on the carriage next to him.

Someone inside has woken up again!

But soon, Ye Jing frowned.

Because he sensed that the person inside was a little girl!

Not very old, maybe eight or nine years old at most.

Inside the box.

Chen Nuanshu looked around at the pitch-black darkness.

A flicker of panic crossed her dirty little face, and she touched her entire body with her tiny hands.

After realizing that no limbs were missing, the panicked expression on his face calmed down a little.

However, his eyes were still filled with anxiety.

She remembered being knocked unconscious by a fellow scavenger while fighting for a slop bucket thrown by a wealthy family.

Where is this?

How long was she unconscious?

We need to hurry back; my little brother must be starving!

She reached out and touched her surroundings.

Am I inside a box?

Um?

There's a hole here.

She shifted her body and peered into the hole.

It was pitch black outside, with only some distant lights and trees and Shi Tuo visible.

Suburbs?

Was I locked up in the suburbs?

But why arrest yourself?

She didn't do anything wrong!

Also, am I in a carriage?

Horse-drawn carriage, boxes...

I was taken away!

Chen Nuanshu's already large eyes widened even more!

Younger brother!

Because of her small size, she can stand inside the box.

After quickly getting up, he hurriedly placed both hands on the sideboard, ready to push himself off the vehicle.

I gave it a push, and it wobbled!

Her eyes lit up—there was an opportunity!

They were about to keep pushing when suddenly the wooden box turned as if it were made of iron and wouldn't budge!

What happened?

Her little brows immediately furrowed.

"Don't move, you'll die."

Suddenly, a voice rang in her ear.

It startled her.

"Who?"

She quickly shrank into a corner.

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you've been arrested. If you make a sound and the guards find out, you might die!"

"I'll die? Why? I didn't do anything wrong!" Chen Nuanshu's face twisted in disbelief.

"Because the guards don't want to expose your presence."

"What do you mean?" Chen Nuanshu asked, confused.

"Because you are going to be transported to a place, and you cannot wake up or be exposed until you get there!" Ye Jing said again through telepathy.

"Can I not go? My younger brother is waiting for me. He's only six years old. He'll starve without me," Chen Nuanshu pleaded, kneeling down inside the box.

"Are you orphans? Where is your younger brother?" Ye Jing asked, frowning.

"Yes, Great Immortal, my younger brother is in Niuma City. Um, Great Immortal, may I ask you a question?" Chen Nuanshu asked somewhat nervously.

"Ask!"

"How many days have I been unconscious?"

Ye Jing remained silent. Nine days had passed since he set off from Niuma City.

The little girl had no idea when she was arrested.

It will take longer than that.

He didn't know how a six-year-old boy was supposed to get through those nine days.

"It's been nine days since we left Niuma City!"

However, he still told the little girl the truth.

No, no...

Chen Nuanshu's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"No, this is impossible, how could I have been unconscious for so long?"

She kept shaking her head, unwilling to believe it.

"You're not in a normal coma, you've been drugged!" Ye Jing sighed.

"Great Immortal, please, please let me out! I need to go back to find my younger brother, he's only six years old!" Chen Nuanshu began kowtowing repeatedly inside the pitch-black box.

"Great Immortal, please, let me out! My brother is my only family left!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

His small forehead slammed hard against the wooden box!

"Waaah... Great Immortal, please... Waaah..."

Tears immediately streamed down the little girl's face.

Ye Jing remained silent.

He set up a small soundproofing array next to the box to prevent the Peak of Humanity from discovering it.

They worried that if the little girl left the box, she would definitely be discovered by that Peak of Humanity.

Unless he reveals his true strength, the little girl definitely won't be able to leave!

But Ye Jing didn't want anything to go wrong since they were entering the Taixu Profound Realm tomorrow.

"I can't help you now. Tomorrow the convoy will enter another world, and I will leave then and release you. As for whether you can escape, that depends on your own fate!"

Ye Jing said calmly.

The little girl stiffened slightly; she knew she had no right to make demands.

I'm already very lucky that the owner of this voice could help me.

"I understand, thank you, Master!"

She forced down her anxiety and banged her head hard again!

"Okay, quiet!"

Ye Jing.

The little girl stopped talking and curled up in a corner of the box.

She was trembling, and occasionally murmured the word "brother".

After making a sound when the little girl was no longer there.

Ye Jing looked at the Goatee Man at the front of the convoy.

A cold and cunning glint appeared in his eyes.

On several occasions, he used his position as the merchant captain to test the Goatee Man.

I inquired indirectly about the purpose of these people's activities.

Finally, it was learned that when these people came to the Ye Family, they would all transform into Blood Qi, which would eventually condense into a powerful tonic pill.

Myriad Blood Pill!

In other words, all of these people will eventually die!

The next day.

The convoy packed everything up and embarked on the final half-day journey.

At midday, under the blazing sun.

The caravan entered a large city.

The city is called Yaoxiao City, and it is one of the cities managed by the Imperial Clan in the Profound Yellow Great World.

Because of the presence of the Goatee Man, the caravan entered the city after a simple identity check.

Ye Jing's identity can certainly be verified; he spent a fortune buying many legitimate identities in various countries and cities along the way.

There was nothing particularly special about the interior of the city.

The cultivators on the street are of a higher level.

Furthermore, many people there dress in a style that resembles that of the Taixu Profound Realm).

There must be a lot of people coming from over there.

The convoy didn't stop along the way, following the Goatee Man directly to a huge Light Gate.

Many men were astonished; this was a sight they had never seen before.

Ye Jing, on the other hand, was observing the guards beside the Light Gate.

They are all Peak of Humanity experts at the 'Dao Attainment' realm, representing the pinnacle of combat power in this world!

On the other side of the Light Gate, Ye Jing vaguely sensed a threat.

The guards on the other side are definitely at the Heaven and Earth God Realm.

Besides them, there were several other caravans like theirs, all carrying these waist-high boxes.

Ye Jing and the others followed Captain Shang and received an identity token from a guard post. The token had Array Pattern flowing on it.

Only those who possess this token can enter the Light Gate without being blocked from entering.

Once you reach the other side, you must return the token to the guard there.

Ye Jing looked at the convoy and took out a pill from his sleeve.

They discreetly dropped the pills into the middle of the caravan without anyone noticing.

Sudden!

The elixir actually started burning on its own!

Puffs of Green Smoke instantly spread out.

"Fire?"

Everyone in Light Gate was stunned for a moment, and then...

Green Smoke had already covered the entire square.

"Boom!"

Then all the crates in the convoy began to shake violently.

Everyone is awake!
