431 A Little Gamble Helps Bring People Closer (2/2)
The common people's path had 150 cavalry. Whilst not all of the mysterious dragon warriors from the 3 sects and 6 schools left, around 80 of them remained.
230 of them stood quietly right there.
Around them, there were 20 grade 6 return to sun spirit masters who were casting spells to cover them.
Ruoshui was amongst them. A mysterious eagle floated above them, under the buffs of the many spirit masters a mysterious force caused this small space to nearly fold up.
Even if someone unknowingly entered the space and also somehow look upwards, they would be unable to sense the presence of the cavalry.
Zong Shou stood right at the front on a horse, closing his eyes to rest up his focus. He injected thin streams of true qi into the silver scale wind stepping beast beneath him, whilst adjusting the state of the mount under him to help maintain it in the best condition. He also used spells to strengthen his connection with this temporary mount.
His mount was changed to the common people mysterious dragon warrior styled silver scale wind stepping beast, covered in black and red armor. On his body, he also wore a mysterious dragon armor which was red and black in color, a blood-red cape and also carrying a large red-colored sword.
”Those few people have already left…”
Zong Shou had opened his eyes and looked expressionlessly at a small hill to the side. There were no traces of the aura on that side.
It should be the scouts from Yuan Jiuchen. A cavalry whose strength was at grade 5. A total of 20 of them searched about in the wilderness nearby Lewu County.
3 days ago, the mysterious dragon warriors and he had already started hiding here. Most of the time, they didn't even dare move a single step. The hardship they felt was something someone on the outside wouldn't know.
However, there were a few times where they were so close to being noticed.
After confirming that there were no more scouts here, all the spirit masters relaxed. Ruoshui let the mysterious eagle descend and hugged it lovingly in her arms. Then she fed it several pills causing the shriveled up black eagle to regain some energy.
”This is already the 10th wave! As expected from the famous general in the west Yuan Jiuchen, he is really careful. However, why is he willing to be a lackey for Tailing Sect…”
When he spoke, Xuan Shu's expression was complicated. Looking towards the direction of Lewu, apart from a bone-deep hatred, he was also impressed.
Zong Shou had fended off the objections and led them to arrive here 3 days earlier. The position he chose was great. Unexpectedly he didn't choose those hidden and secluded areas and just nice the mountain wind was intense which was why the spirit master's spiritual sense was unable to reach this area.
The only thing they were afraid of was that the moment they got close they would be noticed by these scouts.
In terms of admiration, the fellow beside him was also a monster. 10 times better than that Yuan Jiuchen…
Before he was finished, someone burst out laughing from the back.
”With how smart Xuanye junior niece is she would be able to easily save those ten over disciples. Why would you need to save her?”
Her voice was like a silver bell, coming out from a person behind Zong Shou and Xuan Shu who was wrapped up like that of a dumpling.
It was Yongqin who was tied to a horse. Her body was covered in rope, only revealing a small face. Whilst she said that she had a cold laugh on her face.
”What is the skill of hiding here like a dummy? Is it very interesting?”
Zong Shou was speechless, probably even people like Xuanye and Luoshi wouldn't dare to say such words.
He realized that this little girl was too naive, too innocent. However, she wasn't as cute as his Chuxue.
He didn't know what to do with this girl and just let her follow along in case she spoilt their matter. If he placed her in that hiding spot from before, he was worried that this girl would run out and create some waves.
Hence he just tied her up and brought her along with him as a sort of punishment.
However, during these 3 days, Yongqin would often coldly mock him. Luckily they were still within the large group which was why Zong Shou suppressed his desire to seal her voice box and let her become mute.
He originally didn't want to bother about her but sometimes he did feel bored. Which was why he laughed evilly.
”Do you want to make a bet?”
”What do you want to bet?”
Yongqin didn't hesitate, she couldn't seem too weak. However, she seemed to have recalled something. 2 red flowers appeared on her face before she added in one sentence, ”No bad intentions!”
Zong Shou rolled his eyes, thinking that he wasn't interested in her little washboard of a body, however, he seemed a little less excited.
”If you lose, then after we return to common people palace you need to shout in front of all the disciples that you are a little pig. Are you willing?”
Yongqin hesitated for a moment before she scoffed coldly, ”I'll shout it, but what if you lose?”
Zong Shou acted like he didn't hear her say that, raising his head and looking into the sky. Looking at the color it was noon, it must be really busy within Lewu county.
Xuan Shu, however, was really worried, this first seat disciple beside him had only just seen his mysterious dragon warrior heart sutra and sword technique for 3 days. Could it work?
