Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Although Mu Tie wanted very much to keep Su Heng for a few more days, neither the caravan guards within Demon-Suppressing Pass nor the merchants outside the pass could endure the strict inspections any longer. Complaints had begun to rise everywhere.
Su Heng naturally knew that he had caused all of this, so he could not stay any longer. He immediately bade Mu Tie farewell and prepared to leave Demon-Suppressing Pass.
"Brother Su Heng, there have been many mercenary groups outside Demon-Suppressing Pass recently who murder and rob travelers. Isn't it too dangerous for you to head to the Black-Corner Region alone?"
"How about... I send a squad of soldiers to escort you!"
Because of Mu Tie's ban, many mercenary groups could no longer enter Demon-Suppressing Pass. Their livelihoods had been cut off, forcing them to scrape by in the wilderness along the border outside the pass, where life had become unbearably difficult.
Now, in order to survive, they had begun slaughtering one another and crazily plundering passing merchants.
If they were not truly unable to defeat the imperial army, those mercenary groups would probably have already launched an assault on Demon-Suppressing Pass.
It could be said that Su Heng's arrival had brought them nothing but disaster. Once he left the pass, there was a good chance those mercenaries would intercept and kill him along the way.
This was karma Su Heng himself had created, and he was naturally prepared to bear it.
If he was unlucky enough to encounter those mercenaries, Su Heng planned to compensate each of them with a Second-grade Pill. After all, he had caused them to lose more than ten days of business. If he did not encounter them, then it was simply fate.
