Chapter 622 (2/2)
And Shi San, staring intently at the chickens, continuously swallowed his saliva, eyes gleaming…
…
Just then…
From behind the path they had taken, noises approached, and Shi San, puzzled, looked back.
He saw a convoy with several horse-drawn carriages slowly making their way along the road behind them.
The troop consisted of several carriages, and atop them were big boxes that presumably contained cargo.
Moreover,
The men leading the way looked strong and robust.
Clearly, this was a delivery convoy from a merchant association.
As they were too far apart, Shi San couldn’t see clearly and didn’t pay much attention, instead, he lowered his head to continue turning the chickens over on the fire…
Shi San might not have seen clearly, but Lin Jing had a very clear view; the man walking at the forefront of the merchant troop was the same man from the Yu family merchant association they had met at the tavern days ago.
Moreover, the carriages of the merchant troop bore the ‘Yu’ family emblem.
It seemed that this troop indeed belonged to the Yu family merchant association.
At that moment, two sounds of objects tearing through the air arose from the front of the road, getting louder as they approached…
Lin Jing immediately turned his head to look down the road ahead.
He saw two Cultivators flying on their swords towards them from the front, both exhibiting a Qi Refinement mid-stage level of Cultivation.
The Cultivators rushed past Lin Jing and Shi San, and Shi San, feeling their passage, looked up in time to see them fly by.
The flying Cultivators paid no mind to Lin Jing and Shi San, clearly deeming them mere mortals unworthy of attention.
The duo flew ahead and came to halt before the Yu family convoy, looking down from their elevated position.
The convoy fell silent, everyone looking up at the two Cultivators, even the Yu family man who had once met Lin Jing and Shi San now displaying a troubled expression.
One of the Cultivators spoke up:
“Ah, the Yu family merchant association, I see no mistake…”
The Yu family man stepped out from the troop, cupped his hands, and addressed the two Cultivators:
“Esteemed immortals, may I ask why you seek out our Yu family merchant association?
Is there something we can help you with?”
The Cultivator above scoffed, looking down at the man and declared:
“Enough with the pleasantries…”
“I know that among the goods you transport this time, there’s a rare Second Rank Spirit Plant called Moon Crow Root.”
“Hand over the Moon Crow Root and I’ll spare your life.”
“Otherwise, none in this entire convoy will be spared.”
Upon hearing this, the man’s complexion grew even worse.
And those in the ranks behind him were equally terror-stricken, involuntarily retreating a few steps.
