Chapter 239: Fraudsters (1/2)

'Another one?' she thought in surprise.

”Stop the ship,” she ordered the elder who was currently driving it.

Feeling the ship stop suddenly, Alex opened his eyes and told Pearl to stop cultivating. The cuts all over his body quickly healed from the Qi his body had.

”What's going on master?” he asked.

”Another monster hoard attack, down there,” she said.

Alex looked from the front and saw a bunch of monsters attacking a small carriage.  ”Come, let's see what is going on,” Ma Rong said and beckoned Alex.

Alex nodded and flew with her to the bottom.

On the ground were a bunch of young people trying to fight the monsters with an elderly at the front trying to fend off the beast. The young people had at best the Bone Tempering realm of Cultivation and the old man seemed to be at 1st realm of Organ tempering realm too.

They were very weak against the hoard of beasts in front of them. Just the fact that they were alive right now was a miracle.

Ma Rong couldn't quickly teleport down as she did during the day without her shadow being there. However, before even reaching the 10-meter mark, where one was supposed to be able to teleport, she disappeared.

Alex was surprised. ”How did she teleport 30 meters away?” he wondered in surprise.

Ma Rong immediately suppressed all the beasts down there and waited for Alex to arrive. Once he was there, she said, ”Kill them.”

Alex nodded and took out his Steel Sword. The monsters were around the Bone Tempering realm, with some being in the mid organ tempering realm, but that was no problem for Alex.

He easily cut through the different beasts with his sword like it was a hot knife attacking butter. Within a few slices, most of the monsters were dead.

For the monster in the Organ tempering realm, he used Smiting Blade, and soon they were dead as well. He quickly took the corpses into his storage bag.

Ma Rong saw that the fight was over and nodded; she then looked towards the old man asked, ” Who are you people and what are you guys doing here?”

The 5 young people in the back were shivering with fear and didn't speak at all. So, the old man decided to speak.

”We come from a nearly by village. I am a sect leader and these are my students. I wanted to take them to the capital to register them in the annual competition.”

”We were riding the carriage to the capital and… and… the beasts, they came out of nowhere and attacked us.”

”I thought we were going to die, but you saved us. Thank you, Miss, young man. You saved this old man's life,” the old man said.

Alex nodded and said nothing as he accepted the gratitude in silence. Ma Rong nothing whatsoever.
