Rules of Heaven - C83

Seeing them walk around the mound, Ding Hong asked curiously, “Why don’t we just go around it from a distance?”

Lei Pi said, “It’s not that we don’t want to, it’s just that this road is something that many people have explored with their lives. If we don’t spare this mound, there’s a high chance that we’ll miss it and end up in the desert.”

Ding Hong nodded and no longer spoke.

The caravan moved forward like a snake in the dark night, the sand and wind in the surroundings never stopped, they hit against the walls that had different shapes and made “da da da” sounds.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the surroundings, and a large crack appeared on the distant wall. A group of armored demon soldiers ran out from the crack, and kept on shouting.

The caravan immediately became stupefied by this scene. All of them froze in place, not daring to move an inch.

When Zhang Zhanpeng saw this, his face changed and he quickly shouted: “We already gave you the tribute, you promised to let us pass.”

A strong and sturdy wolf-spirit with glowing eyes slowly walked over from behind. The surrounding lesser demons hastily got out of the way. It said in a deep voice, “When did you give it to me?”

Zhang Zhenpeng quickly gave Lei Pi a meaningful look.

In fact, Lei Pi was also very scared, but he still braced himself and shouted, “We just gave you 80 jars of good wine, didn’t you guys send demons to take them?”

Wolf essence spirit looked at the surrounding demons before coldly snorting, “I did not see anything. You can’t go over!” After saying this, the surrounding lesser demons immediately burst into loud cries of excitement, as if they had thought of something joyful, and even many began to swallow their saliva or grind their teeth.

Lei Pi felt a chill run down his spine and his body softened.

Suddenly, the lady in men’s clothing said in a deep voice, “All of you, scram.”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, while Lei Pi almost fell off his camel.

The group of demons naturally heard his words and immediately became restless.

The woman repeated, “Go away.”

The leading wolf spirit was enraged. The ghostly light in its eyes grew brighter, and with a leap, it charged towards her. A few people who had not recovered from their shock along the way were directly torn into pieces by it. Just as his eyes were about to reach her, the woman suddenly moved her hand and struck across the air. Three streams of red gas suddenly emerged from his palms, and at a speed faster than the eye could see, they instantly penetrated the Wolf Essence’s neck.

After struggling for a bit, the wolf essence blood was suddenly washed clean, leaving only a set of armor and fur.

She coldly said, “A mere hundred year old lesser demon dares to act so arrogantly in front of me!”

The surrounding lesser demons were greatly frightened. Seeing their leader dead, they all ran faster than a rabbit, and in the blink of an eye, they all dispersed into nothingness.

A light flickered in Ding Hong’s eyes as he quietly sized her up.

What she had just used had the same effect as his Blood Fou Talisman! However, Ding Hong instinctively felt that her Blood Fou Talisman was not as strong and perfect as his own. However, he had a feeling that it had something to do with the Blood Fou Talisman.

She retracted her hand and said indifferently, “Let’s go.” As she spoke, she kept her voice low and hoarse, so no one suspected that she was a woman.

Zhang Zhenpeng had already lost all hope, but he never thought that he would encounter such a great savior. He was overjoyed. Hearing her call for the start of the journey, he hurriedly got to work and led the caravan forward, preparing to pass the mound and spend the night on the desert.

When Lei Pi saw her easily display such a powerful strength, he couldn’t help but want to get close to her. However, when he was 20 feet away from her, he felt a wave of fear and then quietly retreated.

Arriving in front of Ding Hong, he whispered, “This person has such a strange power, I’m afraid that he must be those Taoists! “However, these monks have never been willing to enter the Boorish Desolate. Why are they here this time?” As he spoke, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Ding Hong pretended to be surprised and said, “Don’t tell me he is a monk!”

Lei Pi nodded his head and said, “It shouldn’t be wrong. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person make something so powerful?” Shaking his head, he was just about to say something when he suddenly felt the cold gaze from the woman’s head. He shuddered and hurriedly shut his mouth after smiling apologetically.

The caravan was quiet after the scare. After walking for another two hours, the caravan finally walked out of the desert and arrived at a desert.

There was a light river on the Gobi Desert. Trees with strange postures were growing on both sides of the river.

At this point, Zhang Zhenpeng’s tensed expression loosened, and he shouted: “Caravan will rest, we will depart tomorrow morning!” He wanted to thank the “sir” who had just shown off his prowess, but when he turned around, he found that he was already far away, as if intentionally avoiding the crowd. He didn’t want to disturb them, so he packed up his things and prepared to go to bed.

When Lei Pi saw this, he was extremely excited and said: “Phew, brother, we are finally in Hu Yanglin. We are finally out of danger.” There are some woolen stalls over there, so if brother is sleepy, you can go there and wrap yourself up and rest under the poplar tree. ” With that, he hurried to collect the stalls.

After some thought, Ding Hong randomly found a tree and jumped onto it to lie down, preparing to rest.

“Who are you!” Suddenly, a clear and cold female voice sounded from behind her. Her voice was like the sound of shattering ice, cold to the point it made one’s heart ache.

Ding Hong knew who it was without even turning his head. He replied, “I am just a caravan guard accompanying them.”

“Who are you!” she asked again.

Ding Hong turned his head to look at her and discovered that she had already changed back into the white dress of a woman. Ding Hong observed her and discovered that compared to Xiao Qin, she had a little less coldness and a little more coolness than Su Ting.

Seeing him looking at her, she frowned and asked again, “Who are you?”

Ding Hong didn’t bother trying to solve the riddle with him and said, “Bai Fan.” It was a fake name, so it didn’t matter.

She looked at Ding Hong. After a while, she asked, “You also have a False Spiritual Body?”

Hearing her say that, Ding Hong was actually shocked in his heart. He didn’t use any spells on the road, and he didn’t even use the slightest bit of profound energy. How did she know?

She said lightly, “I can feel the Yin Yang Qi on your body. That kind of aura is very heavy.” After hesitating for a moment, he said, “It’s heavier than mine.”

Ding Hong did not know what she wanted to do, so he asked, “Did you seek me out to prove this?”

A light flickered in her eyes as she said, “You’re not allowed to compete with me over Sunset Force!”

Xun! She had indeed come here to gather this kind of thing.

She said coldly, “You are not allowed to fight with me for it. I was the one who discovered it first!”

Ding Hong frowned and said, “What if I fight over it with you?”

She replied without the slightest hesitation, “I’ll kill you!”

Ding Hong was a little curious. He asked, “Are you that sure that you can beat me?”

She didn’t try to defend herself, instead saying, “If you want to fight with me, I’ll kill you.”

Ding Hong did not feel her coldness, but instead felt that she was having some fun. He did not know how this feeling came about, and even Ding Hong himself was baffled.

After the woman finished speaking, her body gradually became blurry and her traces gradually faded away. Ding Hong had just taken the Water Devouring Beads and Earth Qi, so it could be said that he succeeded in forging half of the sword. He hadn’t thought of the next sword, but he didn’t think that this woman would send information to him for free.

Ding Hong whispered to himself, “Sunset, that should be the wind.” He stretched out his hands and felt the surrounding wind.

After a while, Ding Hong quietly fell asleep.

The next morning, the surrounding temperature was frighteningly cold. Even the sand felt like it had turned gray. Zhang Zhenpeng was wrapped in a thick layer of clothes as he paced back and forth between the caravans, waking up those who were sleeping on the camels. The people woke up from their sleep in a hazy state, made some noise, and then continued their journey.

The woman changed back into her male attire, purposely keeping her distance from everyone else. However, everyone had seen her strength yesterday, so no one questioned her and no one approached her.

The more the caravan moved forward, the less of the desolate scenery that surrounded them. Some leafless green grass began to emerge from the desert that was not even long before. Some geckos stared at this group of strange creatures from afar and didn’t move for a long time.

Lei Pi walked to Zhang Zhenpeng’s side and whispered, “Big Boss, we got lucky this time.” Should we go deeper in and exchange for some money from the Great Prairie we went to last time? ”

Zhang Zhan Peng frowned and pondered for a moment before saying: “The Great Prairie is too far away from here. It will take us at least three months to get there.”

Lei Pi hurriedly said, “Big Boss, think about it. Because of the incident at the Sand Demon Mountain Range, there hasn’t been a caravan going to the Great Prairie for a long time. The price of a bandit is burning now!” Now that the leader of the Sand Demon Mountain Range has been annihilated by that chivalrous hero, it will definitely be peaceful for a while. We will definitely make a huge profit on this first trip, maybe we can run for a year or two, and then, we won’t be running around in the Wilderness anymore, it’s too dangerous! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhanpeng was moved. He thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s go to the Great Prairie!”

Lei Pi nodded with a smile and returned to the back.

It’s been a day since we left the west gate. Ding Hong wants to see if there are any movements from the pendant in a few hours’ time, but to his disappointment, there’s no response at all.” He couldn’t help but have a headache. Wasn’t searching for a needle in a haystack that would tire him to death? No wonder Ling Wu’er calmly told him to take that pill when it was time.

The caravan’s speed seemed slow, but it didn’t stop. Even after a day, they were still able to travel a long distance. On the afternoon of the third day, they finally arrived at an oasis. The perimeter of the oasis was surrounded by a great number of tall, upright trees. The trunk of the trees was a bluish-white color, as if the body of a moth had been powdered.

Lei Pi looked at the trees and laughed. “This white poplar tree has been bald since winter. It’s not as beautiful as it looks when summer comes.”

“Isn’t it? This White Poplar Tree is very upright, and is much harder to look at compared to those soft and floating willow trees. It is definitely comparable to a man’s’ pillars that support the heavens’! ”

Zhang Zhanpeng also got some free time and smiled: “If you are not tough, how can you withstand this Desert Dust? However, Lou Lan did choose a good place to stay. For those small countries like the ones in the other cities, it would be really tough on them. ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

After entering the oasis, they walked for a few miles until they came to a very large lake. The waters of the lake weren’t deep or shallow. One could faintly see the bottom of the lake from the side, but the deeper they went, the darker the green became. While it was mysterious, it was also scary.

Zhang Zhan Peng suddenly felt that something was wrong and shouted: “Caravan stop!”

The caravan hastily stopped. Lei Pi quickly ran over and asked, “Big Boss, what happened?”

Zhang Zhanpeng frowned and said, “Lei Pi, we’re already at the lake. We should have entered Lou Lan’s territory long ago, but why are there no Lou Lan’s guards patrolling the lake?”

Lei Pi also felt that something was off when he heard this. He said, “It seems like we haven’t been like this for the past few months, right?”

Zhang Zhenpeng hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind. He said, “Let’s go forward. When the car arrives at the mountain, there will be a way out!”

Lei Pi nodded and stepped back, but he still felt that something was wrong.

When Ding Hong saw Lei Pi’s pained expression, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lei Pi sighed and said, “It’s not peaceful! A few months ago, they had heard that Lou Lan was in the midst of a ruckus and that a few princes were fighting over the position! Don’t let us meet again this time! ”

“So what?”

Lei Pi helplessly said, “Ai, Lou Lan’s country can be said to be the most ‘respectful’ among the barbarians. But after all, these barbarians of the Wilderness have a strong sense of brute force deep down their bones when it comes to extraordinary times!” At that time, no matter if you were a merchant or not, if I suspected something, I would kill you!

As he spoke, Lei Pi lost his interest. He left Ding Hong and ran to the back alone. It was unknown what he did.

After advancing for a few more hours, they finally arrived at a city without city walls. The city’s buildings were unique, and they were all made from burning soil. It seemed quite interesting.

Because there were no city walls, there were many patrolling guards. Under the moonlight, such a long caravan was immediately exposed without a doubt. Just a few hundred feet away from the city, a group of people came riding over, clad in simple clothing, holding longbows and other weapons.

The leader shouted loudly, “Who are you?! “Why did you come to my Lou Lan Imperial City in the middle of the night?”

Zhang Zhanpeng quickly replied in a loud voice, “I am Qi Nation’s Fortune Trading Company. I have come here to sell some things, and I hope that General can give me some convenience!” Zhang Zhan Peng’s voice was loud, but to the leader, it sounded like the cry of a mosquito.

He seemed to be slightly impatient as he shouted, “There are some matters in our Imperial City that are inconvenient for business. Please return!”

Zhang Zhanpeng’s expression changed and he quickly said, “Then how about we spend the night in Guiyang Imperial City? We’ll leave tomorrow at dawn!”

When he saw them still spouting nonsense, his heart was immediately set ablaze. Just as he was about to say something, the subordinate next to him said quietly, “General Avalon, Prince Yuli has recently officially needed a few caravans to spread his name. It won’t be good if we send them away like this, but when Prince Yuli comes down to blaming us, we won’t be able to take it.”

Arvardan’s heart skipped a beat, and he praised the man, “You are very wise, this general has been negligent.” After calming himself down, he shouted: “The caravan across here, we have received the order to come here and do business, but keep your mouths shut!”

Zhang Zhenpeng was very happy and shouted, “I thank you, General! I thank you very much!” He quickly turned his head and said, “Caravan forward!”
