Compared to Lord Di's diligence, Li Hao only leisurely led his men north to Ji Province in the afternoon.
Compared to the galloping of the horses in the State Capital of South-Arrival, the speed of the horses heading north was very slow. They were not in a hurry at all.
The cloudy weather was not good to begin with. After walking for dozens of miles, when they reached Changping, the sky had already completely darkened. The strong wind blew, and the grass and leaves fluttered. The situation before the storm made people feel a lot more depressed.
"It looks like it's going to rain!" With a calm expression, Li Hao looked in the direction of Changping County. He waved to his left and right and said,"Tonight, we'll stay in Changping to take shelter from the rain!"
After saying that, he urged his horse to turn towards Changping.
In the evening, when the dusk was falling, he changed into a new set of clothes to avoid the eyes and ears of others and quietly left. Together with Ling 'er, he turned his horse into a small path between the mountains and headed west into the mountains.
"Young Master!" Elephant Lord appeared on horseback with a few people in tow.
"Let's go!" Li Hao nodded.
The small town that stood on top of the grave was unusually quiet and eerie. Coupled with the bad weather, it really made one's hair stand on end. Probably due to the effect of his heart, a cold chill gradually spread throughout his body.
"Is this the place?" Outside the small town, Li Hao asked Elephant Lord as he sized up the "ghostly" Yao Family Shop.
"According to the map and the other party's guidance, this should be the place.”Elephant Lord could not help but mutter in his heart. This place was a little strange, at least it looked like it. In the pitch-black town, there were specks of wildfire.
Li Hao smiled coldly." It looks like the other party's sincerity isn't high. They actually didn't welcome a guest!"”
"Young Master!" " Ah!" Ling 'er, who was beside Li Hao, exclaimed in a low voice. Her expression was filled with nervousness. After all, she was a woman. She would never like such a " netherworld ".
As she spoke, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared on the distant mountain peak. In an instant, the light revealed Ling 'er's pale face. Immediately after, there was an earth-shattering thunder. Other than Li Hao, everyone including Elephant Lord couldn't help but shiver.
The surrounding environment was indeed easy to make people think of 'demons and ghosts', breeding fear. Even the assassins of the Thunder Pavilion, who were used to seeing life and death, could not help but feel terrified when they saw this scene.
Not everyone was as confident as Li Hao.
"What does the other party mean by choosing such a damn place?”Elephant Lord cursed in his heart as the faces of the Thunder Pavilion's subordinates turned maroon.
"It's going to rain!" Raising his head to look at the sky, Li Hao smiled faintly. He took off his bamboo hat and straw raincoat from his horse and put them on.
"Let's enter the town and take a look!" He ordered indifferently.
"Young master, it's better to be careful!”Elephant Lord immediately dissuaded him. Ling 'er, who was standing at the side, nodded repeatedly. The surrounding Thunder Pavilion knights also showed nervous expressions.
Seeing that Li Hao was silent, Elephant Lord let out a long breath and shouted into the town,""I'm Elephant Lord of the Thunder Pavilion. Please show yourself!”
He mustered up his strength, and his voice was mixed with the sound of wind and thunder, but it did not have any effect. The small town was still as quiet as before. The faint movement was the sound of baskets being knocked upside down by the strong wind.
Another blinding bolt of lightning tore through the night sky. The strong light illuminated Li Hao's figure. He was wearing a mask, so his expression could not be seen. However, under the mask, Li Hao's brows were tightly knitted.
" I don't believe in the Ghost God…" Li Hao said, comforting the people around him, especially the beauty Ling 'er who was closest to him.
However, he paused halfway. He thought about his transmigration. Was this the power of ghosts and gods? Li Hao immediately came back to his senses and said in a deep voice,""Even if there is, it definitely isn't here! Let's enter the town and see what the other party is up to!”
His words were filled with strong confidence, the confidence of a top-notch expert.
Seeing that Li Hao had already galloped into the town, Ling 'er did not hesitate at all and followed closely behind. Seeing this, Elephant Lord's expression turned vicious. He shouted," Follow me!" and the group of them charged into Ghost Town.
When they entered Zhendian, the heavy rain had already fallen, hitting the houses, tiles, and ground. He rode his horse on a narrow stone street, surrounded by rows upon rows of houses and shops. " This is a ghost town!" Li Hao sneered." Such a clean town is definitely not a ghost town!"”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few swooshing sounds could be heard as more than ten hidden arrows shot out from the houses on both sides. Li Hao's ears were sharp, and his expression changed slightly. He shouted sternly,"Be careful!"
Ling 'er and Elephant Lord's reactions were also fast enough. Ling 'er, this little girl, was really skilled. She easily dodged the hidden arrow.
There were five other assassins from the Thunder Pavilion following behind. Although they were elites, not everyone had the same reaction. Even if they dodged, two of them died and one was injured.
"Ambush?" The first reaction in his mind. He felt that something was wrong. There was no reason…Could it be that Princess Big-Boobs had gone crazy?
Li Hao's expression was extremely ugly, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He shot another wave of arrows, but this time, he dodged in time and only injured the horse.
He saw a figure flashing in the house on the right. He pulled out the long sword at his waist, jumped up, and broke through the window.
The person in front of him was a man in black who was drawing his saber. Li Hao had decapitated him with a single slash, and blood splattered everywhere. With the light of the lightning, Li Hao could see the situation in the room clearly. There was quite a lot of space in between. Several men in black were putting down their bows and pulling out their weapons.
Ling 'er and Elephant Lord followed closely behind, wanting to protect Li Hao. The room suddenly became crowded. Outside the room, footsteps were chaotic as more than a dozen killers surrounded them. In the other houses, there were clearly some movements.
He slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head and loosened the straw raincoat on his body. Li Hao was very angry. He wanted to kill!
"Master has ordered us to kill them!" The leader of the men in black smiled at Li Hao and the others and coldly ordered.
An intense battle unfolded in the narrow space. The subordinates of the Thunder Pavilion who had followed Li Hao here were all elites. Although the other party was also well-trained, they were too weak in comparison.
The intense battle only lasted for a moment before the assassins in black in the room were cleared out. The leader was directly restrained by Li Hao, but the assassins outside were not affected at all. They continued to charge in wave after wave, but were blocked by Ling 'er, Elephant Lord, and the remaining subordinates.
