Heading to Lingyun County! Scarred Twin Heroes!

At noon, after the wealthy merchant treated Su Xian and the others to a meal, Five carriages departed from the south gate of Blackwater County.

Yang Wu and Instructor Yang were assigned to guard the first carriage, while Su Xian was placed in the last carriage.

As for the carriage in the middle, it was loaded with many boxes, and no one knew what was inside.

Deng Lin was also assigned to the last carriage, sitting with Su Xian.

"Brother Su, do you know what they are escorting to Lingyun County?"

Deng Lin asked Su Xian with a mysterious smile.

"It's nothing more than some furs and herbs, I suppose,"

Su Xian replied calmly, glancing at the boxes.

He knew a bit about this wealthy merchant.

He had sold his demon beast furs to a shop owned by this merchant.

Since Blackwater County was closest to Green Dragon Mountain, and the herbs and furs from Green Dragon Mountain were of the best quality, transporting them to other counties could yield a good profit.

However, along the way, they would occasionally encounter bandits. But this merchant was an old hand, naturally having connections with those bandits, and could leave by paying some silver.

"Mhm! It's just as you said, Brother Su," Deng Lin nodded, then shook his head.

"Actually, I heard that this merchant can no longer stay in Blackwater County and is planning to transfer part of his fortune to Lingyun County this time!"

"These carriage boxes are probably filled mostly with gold and silver!"

Deng Lin whispered to Su Xian.

"What? Are you tempted?"

Su Xian asked calmly, glancing at Deng Lin beside him.

He couldn't be bothered to care what was in these boxes.

His only goal was to reach Lingyun County and obtain that fourth-grade Body Tempering Martial Skill.

Deng Lin shook his head upon hearing this, a sheepish smile appearing on his face.

"How could I dare? That Instructor Yang's strength is no joke! Besides you, Brother Su, none of us here could withstand even one of his moves!"

"My concern is, since I can get this news,"

"then surely there are people in Blackwater County with intentions who also know! This trip might be dangerous!"

Deng Lin said with a worried expression.

Su Xian nodded slightly upon hearing this. It was indeed as Deng Lin said.

If even he could get wind of this rumor, then those with intentions could certainly find out.

It seemed this journey would indeed be turbulent.

"Don't worry, just stay by my side when the time comes."

Su Xian said softly, looking at Deng Lin beside him.

Su Xian didn't particularly dislike Deng Lin.

If trouble arose, he would protect him if he could, and if not, he could only flee.

"Thank you, Brother Su!" Deng Lin exclaimed with joy, cupping his hands in thanks.

Su Xian sat in the last carriage, watching the scenery rapidly recede on both sides, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Although Lingyun County was far from Blackwater County, the horses pulling these carriages were no ordinary steeds.

They were a type of exotic beast called Flying Cloud Horses. While not part of the Demon Race, they possessed strength comparable to the Skin Grinding Realm.

These horses were robust and incredibly fast, capable of covering a thousand li a day when pulling a carriage!

At this speed, they should reach the vicinity of Lingyun County in about three hours.

An hour passed, and Su Xian's group encountered no obstacles. Deng Lin's expression gradually relaxed.

Half an hour later, Su Xian's group encountered a group blocking the road.

They were all mounted on horses, carrying sabers, their bloodlust palpable.

Deng Lin immediately tensed up and whispered to Su Xian, "This is a group of bandits who have settled between Blackwater County and Lingyun County. Their leader is a martial artist in the middle stage of the Tendon Refining Realm! He's powerful!"

"If a fight breaks out, Brother Su, please be careful of him!"

Su Xian nodded, gripping the saber beside him and looking at the bandit leader, ready to act at any moment.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

However, things did not develop as they had predicted.

The wealthy merchant was experienced and handed over some silver to these people.

Then, they laughed and left triumphantly.

"Phew! That was close! You scared me to death!"

Deng Lin breathed a huge sigh of relief, wiping the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

If these bandits had really decided to fight, his cultivation level wouldn't have been enough for their leader to cut him down in a single blow.

At this moment, a Muscle Forging Realm martial artist from the fourth carriage came to Su Xian's carriage and looked at the two with a smile:

"You don't need to be too nervous. The boss is a regular customer on this route and has already sent a formal request. As long as you hand over some silver, you can pass safely."

"There won't be much danger on this trip."

He said with a smile, his tone very relaxed.

He had traveled this road with the boss countless times before and was very familiar with it.

"Really! That's great!" Deng Lin couldn't help but smile upon hearing this and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Mhm, got it!" Su Xian nodded and said indifferently.

After that, the martial artist returned to the fourth carriage, and everyone set off again.

They encountered another bandit roadblock during the journey, but they passed through it with ease.

Seeing this, Deng Lin also relaxed.

Su Xian, however, remained calm, with his hand resting on his sword hilt the entire time!

Soon, another half an hour passed.

"Brother Su, from what I understand, there should only be one group of bandits left on the remaining road!"

"I heard their leader is a mid-stage Tendon Refining Realm cultivator with terrifying strength."

"However, rumor has it that he doesn't usually make a move, and people can usually pass by paying a fee."

Deng Lin looked at Su Xian in front of him and shared some of the information he had gathered.

"Mhm, got it!"

Su Xian nodded, but he didn't completely relax his guard.

After all, he wasn't too concerned about these bandits; Su Xian was more worried about the possibility of encountering demons.

Although the probability of demons appearing on the main road was low, it wasn't zero.

Not long after, Su Xian and his entourage were stopped again. It was indeed a group of bandits.

The two leading them were both bald with a scar on their faces.

They looked fierce and menacing, clearly not to be trifled with!

Upon seeing the appearance of the two leaders, many martial artists in Su Xian's convoy immediately tensed up.

The atmosphere became unusual.

The martial artist escorts they had hired this time also sensed that something was wrong and became vigilant!

Deng Lin's face showed a wry smile, and his body trembled slightly: "Brother Su, this is bad!"

"These are the infamous Scarred Twin Heroes! Both of them are late-stage Tendon Refining Realm martial artists!"

"Legend has it that they once joined forces to escape from a Bone Tempering Realm expert!"

"Their strength is terrifying! And they kill people on impulse! This is going to be trouble!"

Deng Lin whispered to Su Xian.

After hearing this, Su Xian looked at the two leaders. He wasn't afraid in his heart.

After all, he was now an early-stage Bone Tempering Realm martial artist and possessed a fourth-grade technique, the Flowing Fire Burning Wind Seven Slashes Technique.

Dealing with these two, who could only escape from an early-stage Bone Tempering Realm expert by working together, shouldn't require too much effort.

The wealthy merchant and Instructor Yang's faces changed when they saw these two.

The merchant and Instructor Yang exchanged glances, feeling a sense of unease.

This should have been Lin Da's territory. Why would the Scarred Twin Heroes appear here!

"Good sirs! This is our offering. Please let us pass!"

Instructor Yang stepped forward, offered the tribute, and glanced at the people behind the Scarred Twin Heroes, his expression hardening.

He recognized the people behind them; they were all former subordinates of Lin Da from this area!

"Could it be that Lin Da was killed by them? And the Scarred Twin Heroes have taken over this force?"

Instructor Yang guessed inwardly.

"Easy, easy!"

The elder brother of the Scarred Twin Heroes took the tribute, tossed it lightly, and revealed a smile.
