Set Off
Three days later, at the Southern Gate of the Southern Capital.
As the situation between the An Kingdom and the barbarians was getting more and more tense, the inspection of people entering and leaving the city in the south was also very strict. The soldiers with red-tasseled spears were divided into several teams to check the luggage of people entering and leaving the city. On the top of the city wall, a row of crossbows and arrows were pointed down without hesitation. If there was any movement, they would definitely shoot holes in them.
In a herbal tea shop by the city gate, a fair and plump middle-aged man was sitting in front of a wooden table. His bean-sized eyes were looking at the end of the long street.
Not far away, a few peddlers passing by were whispering," That's the second leader of the Dragon Snake Gang, Fan Nine Snakes. He's so fat. Rumor has it that he's very good at martial arts. Is it true?"”
"Who knows? However, Fatty definitely isn't good at sleeping on the bed. After all, a fat man and a bird are short. Last time at Hidden Spring Pavilion, I heard that the two brothers had to serve Little Peach to barely fill her stomach. Haha.”
"Do you want to die? Fan Nine Snake was a tyrant in the Southern Capital. Let's go, let's go.”
As soon as the peddlers left, Fan Jiushe's face flashed with anger. He was a third qi layer cultivator, and although he couldn't release his divine sense, he was still very sharp. He heard every word of the peddlers 'conversation.
"Go, follow me. Write down the address. Don't be in a hurry to make a move. When I come back, I want to show them if I can do it on their beautiful wives and concubines!”Fan Nine Snakes said to his lackey.
"Both of us?" The lackey asked.
"All of you, let's go." Fan Nine Snakes urged impatiently," Go back to the sect after you're done. Tell Boss to rest assured and wait for the good news at home."”
"Yes." The two lackeys cupped their fists and flew away.
Not long after, on the bluestone road, a fine horse was seen slowly approaching. It was neither fast nor slow, and on the horse was a youth in a green shirt. He wore a flat bamboo hat that blocked the sunlight above his head, revealing half of his handsome face.
"Eighth Young Master is indeed trustworthy.”Fan Nine Snakes put down his teacup and walked out quickly.
This made the passers-by size up the young man on the horse in surprise. Who was this? He actually wanted the second leader of the Dragon Snake Gang to personally welcome him.
"Oh, Brother Fan is already here. I thought that there was no rush.”Ye Kong's face lit up, and he smiled politely as he rode his horse and sped up.
"It's better to come at the right time than to come early. Don't dismount. Let's leave the city now.”Don't look at how fat Fan Nine was, the way he mounted the horse was clean and neat, which showed his extraordinary skills.
"Alright, Brother Fan, please." The two horses walked side by side to the city gate. The soldier guarding the gate didn't dare to offend Fan Jiushe. When he heard that the youth was Lord Ye Haoran's eighth son, he didn't dare to ask for an inspection. He directly pulled open the antlers and let the two out of the city.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I don't know how good your riding skills are, but we don't have much time.”As soon as they left the city, Fan Nine Snakes couldn't wait to rush them.
The closer he got to success, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait, and his heart burned like fire. This was human nature, and Fan Nine Snakes was no exception. He had waited for twenty years, and he couldn't wait any longer. He was anxious to absorb Ye Kong's energy and break through to the fourth layer of the Aura Refining realm. At that time, he would be able to use his small sword magic tool.
I wonder if this thing is powerful or not? Can I fly on it? Could it become bigger? How many people could he kill at once? Fan Nine Snakes's heart was burning with excitement. It was like buying a new phone and realizing that the battery was out of battery. He patiently waited for it to charge.
Ye Kong smiled." Brother Fan, it's rare for me to go out, and this is my first time riding this horse. I really can't ride it fast.”
Damn it, you can't even ride a horse fast. You might as well die! Fan Nine Snakes cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
The two of them rode on their horses, swaying about. This was the first time Ye Kong had left the Southern Capital. Before him was a stretch of green plains, and a yellowish-brown dirt road that led straight into the distance. At the end of his line of sight, there were towering mountains that towered into the clouds.
"Wow, that mountain is so high. I wonder what mountain it is?”Ye Kong asked in surprise.
"That's the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It looks close, but it's actually very far away. The barbarians live in the mountains. Beyond the Hundred Thousand Mountains is the endless Wilderness.”Fan Nine Snake replied weakly.
"Wow! The grass on this grassland was so strange.”Before Fan Nine Snakes could finish, Ye Kong was surprised again.
" What's so special about it? It's just soap grass used to wash clothes. Many people buy it at the market. Actually, you can pick it anywhere outside the city. Further away is candle grass. There's also star grass over there. It glows like stars at night…"
"Wow! Brother Fan, what kind of animal is that? It's so fierce…Wow! The tree looked like a ball of fire. Wow!"
Fan Nine Snakes was almost going crazy. This kid was really a fool. Was this all common sense? He was like a frog. What was there to make a fuss about? It was so annoying. He just had to hurry to the place and deal with this kid.
It had to be said that this was Ye Kong's first time out of the city, and it had really opened his eyes. When he had lived in Nandu City, he had thought that Cangnan Continent was similar to ancient Earth. Now that he had seen it, he realized that the difference was not just that big.
The scenery of the Cangnan Continent was even more refreshing. If it weren't for the fact that he was thinking about dealing with Fan Nine Snakes, Ye Kong might really have treated himself as a tourist.
After riding south for more than an hour, Fan Jiushe pulled the reins and shouted at the horse to go down the official road.
"Is the market over there?" Ye Kong pretended not to be calculative and asked.
"The market is still far away. If we go like this, we won't be able to reach it in a day. I'm taking you through a shortcut.”Fan Nine Snakes said with a smile.
"Oh, Brother Fan is indeed warm-hearted. This Ye was really blind in the past to actually assassinate two brothers.”
"Haha." Fan Nine Snakes laughed loudly and said," Fellow Daoist Ye, following Nine Snakes has benefits you can't imagine.”
The two of them walked for a while and had already passed through the grassland. There were few people around them. Fan Nine Snake pulled the reins again and crossed his legs, leading the way into the mangroves.
Ye Kong didn't ask any more questions. He followed closely behind and asked," Brother Fan, what's that tied around your waist?"”
Fan Nine Snake patted the dark gray storage pouch hanging on his waist and said with a smile," Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't know? This was a storage pouch. Although it was small, the space inside was very large. It was more than enough to put a person inside. This was a must-have item for every immortal cultivator. Those rich immortal cultivators even had storage bracelets. That space was even bigger! It was said that there was a divine item called a storage ring. A mountain could be placed in a storage ring!”
Ye Kong was surprised." Is a storage ring that powerful? It must be very rare, right?"
Fan Nine Snakes said proudly," Of course. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he would have been killed by the storage ring!”
"I see. I've really gained a lot of knowledge by being with Brother Fan.”Ye Kong nodded hurriedly.
Fan Nine Snakes smiled mockingly and asked again," Fellow Daoist Ye, didn't your master Wanxuan Zhenren tell you this? Why don't you know anything?"
Ye Kong blushed and stammered," Brother Fan, please don't blame me. Actually... when Perfected Wanxuan refused to accept me as his disciple, I just happened to get a set of low-level Immortal Cultivation techniques, and then I practiced them myself. I hope Brother Fan can give me more pointers in the future."”
"Haha, no problem." Fan Nine Snakes was greatly comforted when he heard this. He had already investigated the truth of the matter, but now that Ye Kong had told him about it personally, it was a different story. It meant that this kid had genuinely treated him as a friend.
It would be even easier if he suddenly attacked! Fan Nine Snakes had been worried that this kid was smart and would take some time, but now it seemed that he was easy to coax.
"Let's hurry. We have to pass through this forest at noon. There might be robbers in the forest. We'll be safe once we reach the plains.”
"Oh, oh." Ye Kong nodded, and the two horses headed into the depths of the forest, one after the other.
Although Fan Nine Snakes said that it was a plain ahead, the further they walked, the darker it became. It was as if it was night in the forest. The fiery red trees had long disappeared, replaced by huge trees with their crowns reaching the clouds. There were probably not many such trees on Earth, but there were as many as hairs on an ox here.
There was no watch in Cangnan Continent, so they walked in the dark forest for a long time.
"Brother Fan, is it still far?" Ye Kong asked, pretending to be afraid.
"We're almost at the plains." Fan Nine Snakes was even more pleased with himself. This kid thought he had great abilities, but he was actually just a little brat.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a ray of light in the distance of the forest. Fan Nine Snake said that it was the front and that they should go there to rest for a while. He then rode his horse and rushed over.
Ye Kong followed behind and discovered that they were in a very small flat area surrounded by trees. It wasn't a plain at all, but just an empty space in the middle of the forest.
The open space was filled with weeds that were as tall as a horse's leg. In the middle of the open space, there was a collapsed stone pavilion.
The two of them tied their horses to a small tree and came to the collapsed stone pavilion. They found a clean stone to sit down and took out food and water.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, this is actually the place where I obtained the immortal cultivation technique! It's been more than twenty years!" Fan Nine Snakes bit on the jerky and sighed." Back then, your father didn't bring his army over, and there was no Nandu City. This place was under the jurisdiction of the barbarians, and my brother and I were slaves of the barbarians.”
"One night, I escaped in the middle of the night. There was no moon that day, and it was dark everywhere. There were pursuers behind me. I panicked and fled here. The pursuers followed me. I was tired and hungry, and there was no place to escape.”
"The heavens took pity on me. In my panic, I actually found a cave under the stone pavilion. I hurriedly hid inside.”Fan Nine-Snake smiled and said," Who knew that this hiding not only allowed me to escape from the pursuers, but also allowed me to obtain the remains of a barbarian cultivator. This allowed me to walk on this path!”
Fan Nine Snakes sighed and smiled," Fellow Daoist Ye, do you want to see where Nine Snakes stepped onto the immortal path?”
Ye Kong had a rough idea of why Fan Nine Snakes had run so far before taking action. It was most likely because there was a cave here. If he killed him, he could enter the cave and spend some time refining it. No one would disturb him, and no one would notice. It was indeed a good place to kill and rob.
Ye Kong pretended to be a coward and said," Brother Fan, I'm a coward. The cave is dark and eerie. If you want to go, go yourself."”
Fan Nine Snakes didn't force him. He smiled and said," Then we'll rest for a while after eating. We'll be on our way. I'll go pee."”
"Oh." Ye Kong nodded.
Fan Nine Snakes got up and went around to Ye Kong's back. When he turned around, he saw that the kid was busy eating a steamed bun and was completely unprepared. Then, let's do it!
