Chapter 148 Linguan City, the Queen of Great Chu
In the next two days, the speed of the caravan obviously accelerated.
There were not many disturbances along the way, and the caravan only encountered two attacks from small groups of monsters.
This is already the edge of the Galloping Horse Plains. The monsters are very average in strength and are easily repelled by the caravan.
Early on the third day, the caravan finally left the Benma Plain, and people began to appear along the way.
Seeing that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, Luo Cheng simply speeded up and kept up with the caravan.
For this, everyone in the Ling family was very enthusiastic and grateful.
Everyone knew very well that if Luo Cheng hadn't taken action, the entire caravan would have been brutally murdered by the two men of the Lin family.
With such a young genius in the caravan, everyone feels more at ease.
Even when Ling Xuan came up to talk to her, she spoke softly, completely different from before.
Luo Cheng, Guo Qing and others kept pace.
"Luo Cheng, you must have just entered Xuanyuan Sect not long ago, right?" Guo Qing was very talkative, chatting with Luo Cheng all the time.
Ji Rou also looked at Luo Cheng curiously.
Luo Cheng smiled and said: "Why do you see it?"
Guo Qingming's eyes sparkled, and he smiled when he heard this: "He is only at the fifth level of the Mortal Realm, but his swordsmanship level has reached the high level of Sword Heart, and he can easily kill the top masters at the sixth level of the Mortal Realm. Such talent, even in the three major sects It’s not common, we can’t have heard of it at all.”
Luo Cheng smiled and said: "You praise me too much."
Guo Qing shook his head and smiled brightly: "You don't have to be modest. With your talent, you will definitely become famous in the Dai Viet Dynasty in the future!"
Luo Cheng smiled lightly and couldn't help but look away.
Become famous in the Dai Viet Dynasty?
His ambition doesn't stop there.
Just being famous in the Dai Viet Dynasty does not qualify you to join the Ji family, let alone seek justice for yourself and your parents!
After turning around a mountain col, Luo Cheng frowned slightly and smelled a putrid smell.
Soon, the caravan stopped.
In the forest ahead, there is a village hidden.
There are corpses everywhere among the dilapidated villages, including men, women, old people, children...
Dozens of corpses lay scattered on the ground. Their flesh and blood began to rot. Several jackals were gnawing on the carrion. The scene was extremely terrifying.
Luo Cheng's eyes fell on the two corpses at the entrance of the village.
A woman holds a little girl in her arms.
Apparently, the two of them wanted to escape from the village, but someone pierced their chests with a claw from behind and took out their hearts, leaving only a blood hole the size of a bowl in their chests.
"How cruel! The entire village was massacred! Even the elderly and children were not spared."
Guo Qingdai frowned slightly.
Even though she was used to seeing life and death, the scene before her still made her feel uncomfortable.
Ji Rou's entire face turned pale.
Ling Xuan frowned and said: "I heard my father mention that a group of horse bandits suddenly appeared in Linguan City recently. These people killed many people and massacred several villages one after another. Many disciples of the three major sects were killed and injured... "
Ji Rou thought of something and frowned: "It turned out to be them! Senior Sister Han's whereabouts are unknown after she took over this mission."
In order to exterminate the horse bandits in Linguan City, the three major sects all lost some disciples, including many masters of the sixth level of Mortal Realm.
Therefore, many outer disciples of the three major sects have heard about this mission.
Guo Qing looked at the tragic scene in the village and said angrily: "I really don't know who these people are. They are so cruel. They just want to kill people!"
Such a remote mountain village would not have any valuables. According to common sense, it would not be the target of bandits.
Moreover, the property in the village was intact, and the other party obviously did not come here for money.
Luo Cheng had no expression and said indifferently: "We will find out when we find them."
Hearing this, Guo Qing's expression changed slightly and he was surprised: "Luo Cheng, did you accept this task?"
"Um."
Luo Cheng nodded, looked at the bodies of the woman and the little girl, exhaled slightly and said:
"Let them rest in their graves."
Ling Xuan sent people to collect the corpses and then burned them.
Looking at the raging flames, Luo Cheng's eyes flashed, and the scene of the tragic death of the mother and daughter kept appearing in his mind, and the desire for strength in his heart was particularly strong.
In this world where the strong are respected, ordinary people's lives are like straw and they have no dignity. Even life and death are never in their own hands.
This is why so many people practice hard and want to become stronger.
Only by becoming stronger can you control your own destiny!
The caravan sets out again.
After passing through two more towns, finally, at noon the next day, the group arrived at their destination—Linguan City!
As an important border city, the walls of Linguan City are extremely grand. The city gate is 25 meters high and the city wall is 44 meters high. It looks like a black dragon lingering on the earth!
Groups of energetic soldiers patrolled back and forth, their sharp eyes constantly scanning the crowd.
"So strict."
Luo Cheng sighed.
Those patrolling soldiers were full of energy and blood, and their cultivation levels were above the third level of the Body Tempering Realm. The leading captain was a ninth-level Body Tempering Realm warrior, one step away from breaking through to the Mortal Transformation Realm.
Guo Qingdao: "This is to prevent war from happening."
fighting?
Luo Cheng was stunned.
Ever since the legendary empress of the Great Chu Dynasty came to the throne and single-handedly suppressed dozens of countries in the Yunlan Region, there had been no war between the Great Chu Dynasty and the Dayue Dynasty for nearly a hundred years.
After showing their identity tokens, Luo Cheng and his party entered the city smoothly.
As soon as he entered the city, Luo Cheng said goodbye.
Guo Qing couldn't help but said: "Luo Cheng, do you really plan to do this task alone?"
They have learned that Luo Cheng has taken on the task of eliminating the horse bandits in Linguan City.
Luo Cheng nodded.
Guo Qing hesitated slightly and said, "Do you want us to help?"
Luo Cheng shook his head and smiled, "I appreciate your kindness, but I am used to being alone. Don't worry, if it is too dangerous, I will give up directly and will not joke with my life."
Guo Qing thought about it and it was true.
If Luo Cheng is not an opponent, then the two sisters are not opponents either, and going there will only add to the burden.
"Then you be careful and take care!"
"Goodbye."
Luo Cheng turned and left.
Yuelai Restaurant.
This is the largest restaurant in the west of Linguan City.
On the second floor of the restaurant, Luo Cheng ordered a large table of precious dishes by the window and ate them in a whirlwind.
During this period of time, he followed the caravan and could only eat some dry food and barbecue every day. He had long been tired of eating.
Moreover, in a restaurant where all kinds of people are mixed, there may be some clues about the group of horse bandits.
The restaurant was full of heroes with swords and swords, talking about everything.
Suddenly, a voice caught Luo Cheng's attention.
"What do you think, is the rumor about the disappearance of the legendary empress of the Great Chu Dynasty true?"
A stone stirs up a thousand waves. As soon as this was said, the whole restaurant immediately became noisy.
"It's impossible. The legendary empress is a figure like a dragon in the clouds. There are dozens of countries in the entire Yunlan Domain Group. Who can do anything to her?"
"This matter is probably not groundless. As soon as the rumor of the empress's disappearance came out, Linguan City was under martial law. I heard that the border was mobilizing troops. This has not happened in decades."
"Tsk tsk, if this is true, it will be a big deal! I'm afraid the entire Yunlan Domain Group will be shocked! Even the entire Dongzhou will be in turmoil!"
