Chapter 200 - 193: Lu Family Pursues (4/5)
Zhou Heng had his fill of fun with two women, then hid inside the Nine Mystic Trial Tower.
Staying in the carriage inevitably led to Xiao Huoshui’s harassment, and since Zhou Heng couldn’t bring himself to treat his own women harshly, and who could resist such a seductress’s allure? He decided it was better not to see, better not to be bothered, thus he hid alone in the Treasure Pagoda.
He left a trace of Divine Sense on Xiao Huoshui, ready to appear should something major happen. However, their group included three Initial Separation Realm cultivators, and it was unlikely for anyone to dare rob them, given that not every band of robbers and brigands had experts of the Land Cleaving Realm.
In the past few days, after seizing the Life Essence Qi of several Land Cleaving Realm Martial Artists, although it wasn’t enough to boost him directly to the Peak of the Third Layer Heaven of Land Cleaving, he had significantly shortened his cultivation time, now requiring only about a month or so.
The speed of the carriage wasn’t fast, and after shaking and bumping for nearly a month, they finally reached the border of Xinlan Country. The nervousness that Lu Chenfu and her family felt finally subsided, knowing that once they crossed the national border tomorrow, the Imperial Capital’s Lu Family would have to think twice before openly sending assassins, lest they provoke a national war.
However, as the saying goes, "the last leg of the journey marks the halfway point," and until they truly left Xinlan Country, they couldn’t afford to relax. The very next day, early in the morning before the carriage had even set off, nine men flew down from the sky, blocking the carriage’s path.
"You’ve got some nerve, betraying your clan, killing your kin, and stealing your family’s wealth to flee!" a man coldly shouted.
There were four Coachmen for the two carriages, rotating the driving duties, none more than minor characters at the Body Refining Twelfth Layer, none daring to stand up, all quickly jumping off the carriages and hiding away, not daring to engage in such chaos.
"How arrogant!" Xiao Huoshui and Orchid Concubine alighted from the carriage and joined Lu Chenfu and her daughter, "I’ve never seen such shameless people!"
"Slut, dare to spout such filth!"
