"I didn't feel anything just now; I just flew around once and then came back."
Su Mu Su Mu chuckled and didn't explain.
Upon hearing this, the guard glanced at Su Mu and then nodded.
He felt that this was probably the only explanation that made sense.
Based on what he knew, it was impossible for anyone to fly back. Su Mu must have encountered some accident, which is why he survived.
"Senior, you absolutely must not fly up there. This place is extremely strange; countless cultivators have already perished here."
The guard was still a little uneasy, so he said one more thing, fearing that the other party might fly back again.
Su Mu nodded slightly; he wasn't that desperate.
Once his cultivation is strong enough and he feels that what's here can no longer threaten him, he can come back and see what's down there.
Otherwise, we could try dropping a mushroom bomb down there and see if it can bring up anything below.
Perhaps the light from the mushroom bomb will allow Su Mu to see the situation below more clearly.
The carriage swayed and lurched forward.
"Since this place is so dangerous, why take this road?"
Su Mu was somewhat puzzled.
He had only assumed that the area below was safe since he had seen the other person taking this route.
"As long as you don't fly up, it's very safe to walk here. Taking a detour would take a lot of time, and this path is much safer."
Many cultivators dare not fight here, as they are easily lured away by something below the cliff.
The guard replied that this place was very safe for many merchants.
Su Mu suddenly understood upon hearing this.
The convoy continued to drive slowly forward.
At that moment, at the bottom of the cliff, where the depths were unfathomable, a lantern the size of a garden slowly lit up.
Upon closer inspection, Ji could discern that the lantern was actually a pair of eyes.
Her eyes looked upwards, and one could see a hint of surprise in them before she slowly closed them again.
The owner of these eyes had no idea that someone above was just considering dropping a mushroom bomb in its lair to see what would happen.
If it knew, it probably wouldn't be so quiet right now; it would definitely be jumping up and down in anger.
After traveling for most of the day, the carriage finally left Hundred-Step Cliff and continued on its way forward.
We arrived at the entrance of a dock before dark.
Are there any other large ships?
The manager of the caravan stepped forward and asked loudly at the dock entrance.
If we have a place to stay, we can sleep on the boat tonight; if not, we'll have to set up camp nearby.
He arrived here before dark, with the same idea in mind.
The large ships here can easily carry horse-drawn carriages, which would greatly increase the speed.
Yes, yes! Where are you going?
"Go to Lincu City."
The shopkeeper replied, glancing towards the riverbank. Upon seeing the large ship, he nodded in satisfaction.
The ship here is extremely large, and it seems to have many formations carved on it.
Su Mu glanced at it and recognized a low-level formation on it.
The boatman glanced back at the caravan, pondering how many Spirit Stone he should ask for. After some haggling with the innkeeper, he placed an order for Spirit Stone.
The convoy slowly made its way toward the large ship, and then each member was loaded into the ship's hull.
The grooms were responsible for looking after the horses and supplies, while the others, such as the senior guards, could go and rest.
Su Mu was also assigned to a relatively good room, and the innkeeper even smiled apologetically, asking Su Mu not to mind.
Su Mu didn't say much. By the time everyone was on the ship, it was already late at night.
Su Mu sat on the deck, listening to the rushing water. The river looked very calm, with only this one boat cutting through the waves.
"Senior."
Su Mu sat on the deck, gazing at the river below, lost in thought.
A bright moon hung in the night sky, and the river surface was not so dark.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been following the convoy approached and cupped his hands in greeting to Su Mu.
Su Mu raised her eyes, glanced at the other person, but did not answer.
Upon seeing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator felt somewhat embarrassed, but upon recalling what had happened before, his expression immediately turned serious.
"Judging from your appearance, you shouldn't be Foundation Establishment cultivator. Why are you in this merchant caravan?"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator, emboldened, asked Su Mu.
The shopkeeper asked him to come; if it were him, he would absolutely not have wanted to come and ask.
Knowing the other party is incredibly powerful, isn't it just courting death to come here asking so many questions?
"It's just that we're going the same way, what's the problem?"
Su Mu replied lazily, "That excuse I gave earlier probably fooled some people, but not others."
Well.
Which high-level cultivator would suffer such humiliation at having to squeeze in with a small caravan like theirs on their way?
The Foundation Establishment cultivator looked at Su Mu, wanting to find out the truth.
However, considering the opponent's strength, they could only return disappointed.
Lower-level cultivators need to maintain a certain level of respect for higher-level cultivators.
If someone is too disrespectful, they deserve to be killed.
Now that Su Mu had given him a reason, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, fearing that Su Mu would directly take action against him.
A moment later, the Foundation Establishment cultivator returned to the cabin.
"The shopkeeper said he was just passing by."
The shopkeeper had been waiting for news, and his face darkened upon hearing this reply.
Go along the way?
As a high-level cultivator, the other party could simply fly through the air, which would be fast and very comfortable. What benefit could there be in traveling with a merchant caravan like his?
Being crowded in a place like this is simply asking for trouble.
He felt that the monk had ill intentions.
But the opponent is so powerful; if they really had any ulterior motives, they could have made their move earlier.
But if there's nothing in particular on their mind, then their answer just doesn't seem right.
The shopkeeper's expression was rather unpleasant; he had brought Su Mu looked like Foundation Establishment cultivator.
To my utter surprise, the other party turned out to be a high-level cultivator. Now, it's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away!
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have dared to come to Su Mu.
Most people would be overjoyed to encounter such a good thing, but he would never dare to do so.
High-level cultivators are not people like them who can afford to recruit; one wrong move and the entire convoy could be wiped out!
The risks involved are particularly high.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators standing nearby were also terrified and at a loss for what to do; the pressure of being with high-level cultivators was immense.
"Fine, let him come if he wants."
After a long while, the shopkeeper waved his hand. Things had already come to this point; he had no other options.
We can't just send someone to drive them away right now; only someone who's tired of living would dare to do that.
