The Blood-Red Spirit Horse before him was none other than Lin Yi's old mount. Lin Yi reached out and stroked the horse's head. The horse was initially somewhat unwilling, but upon sensing the familiar Spiritual Power emanating from Lin Yi, it immediately became excited and began to neigh loudly.
After all, Lin Yi hadn't touched the Zou Wu since Lin Yi got it, and it missed its old master terribly.
Lin Yi mounted his horse and laughed heartily, "What Spirit Horse! It must have the bloodline of Ancient Domain Spirit Beast. You two have presented me with a fine horse. I will remember you. When I arrive in my city, I will surely reward you handsomely."
Seeing that the Garrison Commander commander was quite satisfied with the Blood-Red Spirit Horse, Tian Wu Ying and Wu Qiu exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, Deputy City Lord Lin wouldn't cheat them.
Upon seeing this, Wu Di and the others immediately abandoned their idea of joining forces to deal with Tian Wu Ying and Wu Qiu.
It turned out that since Dong Tianlang was killed, most of the Dong Family Merchant House's businesses had fallen into the hands of the Wu You Merchant Guild. Wu Di and others were both wary and envious of Tian Wu Ying and Wu Qiu.
As time passed, Ren Hei Xiong was Tai Shangxun and taken to Tong Pass, Wu You Merchant Guild no longer had a martial artist with Three Stars strength to guard it.
After several attempts and frictions, Wu Di and others became Wu You Merchant Guild. They discovered that Wu You Merchant Guild seemed to have no experts behind it, so they started to have designs on it again.
Although Lin Yi knew this, he couldn't use Qin Jian's identity to directly help.
Therefore, he planned to use the "horse offering" method to link Tian Wu Ying and Qin Jian's identities. Firstly, it would protect the Wu You Merchant Guild and allow him to earn Outer Domain Source Stone safely. Secondly, it would provide a reason to transfer Tian Wu Ying and others into Tong Pass in the future.
Before setting off for the secret realm, Lin Yi had his men organize supplies. This trip to the entrance of the secret realm in the West Mountain Southern Domain required traversing a thousand-foot mountain road, which would be troublesome to resupply, so they had to make ample preparations.
After Gu Tianxue spread out the map of the entrance to the secret realm, Lin Yi, based on his previous exploration of the distribution of Monster in the West Mountain Southern Domain, determined which route to take.
After all, some mountain ranges are home to a large number of Monster and Monster King. If a team were to travel through these mountain ranges, it would probably waste a lot of time.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he was Qin Jian, Lin Yi would have already explored the entrance to the secret realm by himself.
Lin Yi quickly determined the route and prepared to take action.
" Wang Sheng, take your men to inventory the supplies and set off!"
" Lord Qin, Captain Wang has gone to find his brother-in-law."
Lin Yi frowned. "Then let's wait a little while..."
It is worth mentioning that the garrison commander Wang Sheng was the brother-in-law of Hu Lao San, whom Lin Yi met in the teahouse during his first exploration of the Outer Domain of Tong Pass.
A few minutes later, Wang Sheng rushed over and saw that Lin Yi had already mounted his horse with the main force. He broke out in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down.
"No need. It's not easy to get out here, it's normal to see your brother-in-law. Hurry up and get on your horse, don't dawdle."
"Thank you so much, Lord Qin."
Wang Sheng wiped away his cold sweat, swallowed hard, and quickly mounted his horse.
Just as Lin Yi was about to set off, a stunningly beautiful figure blocked his horse's path, her blue eyes glaring angrily at Lin Yi.
"Who is this woman? She is so beautiful..."
"You have a death wish, this is Lord Qin's wife..."
"So it's Madam Qin..."
Several city garrison Captain nearby were whispering amongst themselves.
Before the Blood-Red Spirit Horse, Gu Tianxue gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Yi: " Lord Qin, why didn't you inform me before suddenly leaving the city?"
Gu Tianxue was furious. This Fake Qin Jian had promised to cooperate with her and would listen to her every word about exploring the secret realm. But as soon as she changed her clothes and gave Lin Yi the specific location of the secret realm entrance, she found that Lin Yi was no longer in the mansion.
Xiao He was sent out to investigate, and she then learned that Lin Yi had already led his men out of Tong Pass.
You should know that the Gu Family she brought were all at the entrance of the secret realm. Without Lin Yi, it would have been impossible for her to reach the entrance of the ' Black Mountain ' secret realm on her own.
Lin Yi seemed to really enjoy seeing Gu Tianxue's exasperated expression.
It has to be said, it's very pleasing to the eye and also quite interesting.
Lin Yi chuckled and deliberately raised his voice, "Madam, I know you're worried about me, but this trip was so rushed that I didn't have time to tell you. As for the ' Black Mountain ' secret realm, it's too dangerous. Why don't you wait for me at the manor..."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, the city garrison Captain behind him began to whisper among themselves again, "I didn't expect Lord Qin and his wife to be so affectionate. It seems the wife is reluctant to part with Lord Qin..."
"I'm so envious, this is what love should be..."
"I want to find a woman as considerate as Madam Kazuya in the future..."
Gu Tianxue wasn't deaf; she nearly ground her teeth to powder upon hearing these words.
This Fake Qin Jian is so shameless, tarnishing her reputation.
She approached the Blood-Red Spirit Horse and whispered, " Lord Qin, do you really want me to reveal your false identity to the public?"
"Madam, I didn't say I wouldn't take you. I'm just really worried."
Lin Yi bent down and put his right arm around Gu Tianxue's slender and soft waist, lifting her onto the horse.
The soft, supple feel made Lin Yi linger.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianxue is not only good-looking, but also has a very attractive figure under her clothes.
What are you doing?
Gu Tianxue gasped inwardly, her face instantly turning red.
She had never been close to Lin Yi since she was a child, except for the time a few days ago when Lin Yi touched her hand.
Lin Yi chuckled softly, "We don't have any extra horses. What do you suggest we do? You could try using your Lightness Skill to travel down here, but you're not even a martial artist, so you might not be able to keep up with the group."
Gu Tianxue's chest heaved with anger. "You... shameless! Why didn't you prepare another horse?"
" The Outer Domain of Tong Pass are all ordinary beasts and horses. If they weren't fed with spiritual medicine, they wouldn't be able to withstand the long journey and raids. Given your status, would you be willing to ride ordinary beasts and horses?"
"Then you go ride the animal horse, and give me your red horse."
Lin Yi Yiyu: "Dream on. This horse has been tamed by me and only recognizes me. I remember when you came to Tong Pass, didn't you bring the Three-Headed Dragon Steed from your family? Why didn't you bring them out?"
Gu Tianxue was too lazy to talk to Lin Yi anymore. She moved forward on her horse to try to create some distance between herself and Lin Yi.
"You know the answer already. The Dragon Steed steed is huge, how could it pass through the dense cave?"
"Since that's the case, then stop complaining and sit comfortably in front of me. You should know that there are too many women who want to ride a horse with me, but they haven't had the chance yet."
"Pah, shameless! Who are you anyway?"
"Who I am is unimportant, but it's astonishing that the esteemed young lady of the Kou Gu Family would use such vulgar language..."
Seeing that a lot of time had been wasted in the Outer Domain of Tong Pass, Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "I'll lead the way, you guys keep up."
"Yes, Lord Qin!"
The guards 'Captain horses were not as good as Lin Yi Yi's Blood-Red Spirit Horse, because these horses were fed a brutal spirit drug and were only for one-time use. Once the drug's effects wore off, most of these horses would die suddenly.
Therefore, Lin Yi needed to lead the thirty-odd city guard Captain behind him to the entrance of the ' Black Mountain ' secret realm before the effects of the medicine wore off.
At this moment, the Blood-Red Spirit Horse also knew that it was time to set off. It had been unable to restrain itself for a long time and dashed off with a whoosh.
Gu Tianxue was caught off guard and was immediately swept away by the momentum, her entire delicate body leaning back in Lin Yi Yi's arms.
Upon smelling the masculine scent emanating from Lin Yi, Gu Tianxue's fair face instantly flushed crimson.
Lin Yi subconsciously put his arm around Gu Tianxue's waist.
The surrounding scenery flashed by quickly.
The Blood-Red Spirit Horse, a peerless rider, nimbly weaves through Sky-reaching Ancient Trees.
Upon seeing this, Wang Sheng and the other city garrison Captain quickly rode up to follow.
"Let's go, brothers! Be mindful, don't follow too closely, but don't fall behind either. If we get lost in this West Mountain Southern Domain, we might lose our lives!"
Rumble!
The sound of galloping hooves was dense, followed by a cloud of dust that dissipated in the West Mountain Southern Domain.
Wu Di, Tian Wu Ying, and the others watched from a distance, not daring to approach.
As the Blood-Red Spirit Horse at breakneck speed, Gu Tianxue exclaimed in surprise.
"You... you horse..."
"What's wrong? Never ridden such a fast horse before? Oh right, I almost forgot, you always ride in a carriage."
"I mean you are just as shameless as I am."
"Thank you for the compliment."
At this moment, the Blood-Red Spirit Horse also neighed with great intelligence. Ever since it became Lin Yi Yi's mount, it had been living the high life in Tianshui City.
After devouring numerous Spiritual Object treasures, its bloodline became pure once again, significantly enhancing both its speed and endurance.
It's not difficult for it to carry Lin Yi and Gu Tianxue right now.
After getting used to the speed of the Blood-Red Spirit Horse, Gu Tianxue also experienced the thrill of riding a horse and chasing the wind, and mastered the rhythm of riding.
She finally understood why, despite the Ancient Domain people possessing the Lightness Skill to instantly traverse hundreds of meters, many high-level martial artists still preferred to keep a swift and Spirit Horse for riding.
But then, she suddenly felt a large hand on her waist, pressed tightly against her lower abdomen, and she couldn't help but cry out.
"Ah..."
"What are you shouting for?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but frown. As everyone knows, a girl's scream is particularly piercing.
" Qin Jian, you're holding your hand..."
"I already left it with you. Otherwise, do you think you could have kept it so securely!"
"I don't care, let go of me!"
Lin Yi Yiquan abruptly let go, but the next moment, the Blood-Red Spirit Horse's extremely fast gallop almost threw Gu Tianxue off.
Seeing this, Lin Yi had no choice but to pull him back.
"Are you going to let go?"
Gu Tianxue's face turned pale, and she was so angry that she stammered, "You did this on purpose!"
Lin Yi smiled and said, "If you don't ride on my lap, I won't want to hug you!"
"You... you..."
Gu Tianxue gritted her teeth and spat out a few "you"s, her eyes reddening as she almost cried. But in the end, she said nothing more, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes, seemingly getting used to Lin Yi's humiliation.
Lin Yi was too lazy to say anything more. Gu Tianxue had a good figure, and it was quite comfortable for him to hug her.
Most importantly, Gu Tianxue always referred to herself as "I" and considered herself superior, so Lin Yi wanted to temper this girl's temperament.
Seeing that Gu Tianxue remained silent for a long time, Lin Yi probed again, "I say, you are the eldest daughter of the Gu Family, yet you are not even a martial artist. Why do you insist on coming to this ' Black Mountain ' secret realm for adventure?"
"None of your business!"
Gu Tianxue spoke coldly.
Lin Yi said, "Since you asked me to cooperate with you in the secret realm, you should at least tell me some things I should know. It would be bad if I did something wrong while trying to be helpful."
Gu Tianxue slowly opened her eyes. "I will tell you once we are in the secret realm."
Lin Yi shook his head. Since he couldn't get any more information from Zhiyu, he didn't speak again.
However, seemingly remembering something, Lin Yi unleashed a burst of True Qi and secretly snatched a strand of Gu Tianxue's hair.
