Chapter 437: Chapter 406 Riding a Flying Mount_1

“Headed to the County City?”

No one had expected Xu Mu to make such a decision.

“Are you speaking in jest, Young Master?”

This was Yang Jiang’s first thought.

The County City was not only filled with highly skilled martial artists, but the League of Martial Artists also had a branch there. Although the strongest individuals there were of the Martial Emperor level, there was strength in numbers. Furthermore, the prestige of the League meant they could quickly gather a large group of helpers.

Compared to small county towns, transportation was much more convenient in the County City, making it easier for skilled individuals from other places to provide reinforcements.

To put it simply, the County City was a deadly trap for them.

Zhang Ergou did not understand the gravity of the situation. He was, in fact, in favor of Xu Mu’s decision to head to the County City.

The farthest he had ever traveled was to a county city.

He had heard many tales about the County City and their prosperity. With this opportunity to see it for himself, he naturally didn’t want to let it slip away.

As for the dangers, having faced several already, Zhang Ergou was not too afraid.

The worst-case scenario was death and he wasn’t a fool, believing he was marching towards certain death. Besides, he didn’t think Xu Mu would make such a mistake either.

Since he was unfamiliar with martial arts and did not understand the disparity, he viewed Xu Mu as invincible and therefore there wasn’t much to worry about.

The only person brimming with joy was probably Yin Wen.

Originally, she was hoping that the County City would send people to rescue her. Never in her dreams did she think Xu Mu would take the initiative to go there instead.

“Once my senior fellow brother returns, he will surely report the conflict to the President. The news may have already reached Du City by now. If Du City receives the news, they might send a highly skilled Martial Ancestor. If so, Xu Mu won’t be able to escape.”

Regardless of the situation, Yin Wen didn’t believe that someone of Xu Mu’s age was capable of reaching the level of Martial Ancestor, an individual who could suppress a region single-handedly.

According to her estimation, Xu Mu was likely at the half-step Martial Ancestor level.

“What are you standing around for? Hurry up and prepare!”

Noticing the three of them frozen in place, Xu Mu reminded them again.

Seeing Xu Mu’s determination, Yang Jiang quickly said, “Young Master, shouldn’t you reconsider? The County City is filled with skilled martial artists, and there’s likely a well-constructed trap waiting. Going there now would be like walking into a spider’s web…”

Xu Mu raised his hand to interrupt Yang Jiang.

“I’m not a fan of idle talk, nor do I appreciate being contradicted. Let’s avoid this in the future.”

Xu Mu glanced at Yang Jiang indifferently. Zhang Ergou found some amusement in this because he had been on the receiving end of such treatment twice before.

“Yes!”

Yang Jiang nodded stiffly in agreement.

At this moment, he felt that Xu Mu was somewhat arrogant and cocky, likely a result of the young man’s success. Was it because he had defeated two War Kings? Did he truly believe himself invincible?

Although disgruntled by such an idea, Yang Jiang didn’t dare to express his dissatisfaction. All he could do was agree obediently.
