Chapter 1069 - 483: Joining the Team

For seven days, Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi checked the supplies they were carrying to ensure nothing was missing.

By the time the four set out, they had already removed any traces of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

Li Yunjing, Lv Ruoxi, Yu Yunyi, and Fu Chao were all dressed in green "Myriad Poison Sect" disciples’ attire, even carrying the identity tokens of "Myriad Poison Sect" disciples!

The four passed through "Shenxiao Pass" with the help of fellow disciples, took advantage of a small-scale battle, and left the city, entering the territory of "Youyue Country."

The prefecture they entered was neither the territory of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" nor the "Netherworld Ghost Sect," but a region where both forces intertwined and fought continuously.

In recent years, under the strict defense of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" found it difficult to counterattack to "Shenxiao Pass" and launch siege warfare.

Most of the conflicts still took place in the two major states bordering "Shenxiao Pass."

This was the main battlefield.

In these two states, the powers were complex; in addition to the warring parties, "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and "Netherworld Ghost Sect," other affiliated forces and even other major powers from the Southern Heaven Continent had infiltrated.

It could be said that the situation was out of control.

Neither the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" nor the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" could control it, and both sects tacitly allowed these forces into the war zone.

Following the agreed route, Li Yunjing and the others entered "Yanyan State."

This was once one of the nine states of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect."

Now, it had long become desolate, a place of ruins.

"Fu Chao, where is the trade caravan you agreed on?"

The four did not choose to fly but walked discreetly on the ground.

Of course, on the ground, they didn’t have to walk on two legs.

Li Yunjing, skillful and clever, had refined a carriage with four "puppet mechanism horses," moving like the wind, extremely fast, not delaying the journey.

Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi naturally sat inside the carriage, while Li Yunjing and Fu Chao sat outside, watching the scenery and chatting.

"Almost there! Two hundred miles ahead, there’s a small town called Ma Family Fort where those people are waiting for us. I just contacted them with a ’Communication Talisman.’"

Fu Chao said with a smile.

"Hmm!"

Li Yunjing nodded, his gaze sweeping across the distant barren fields and collapsed villages, scenes of desolation everywhere.

"Along the way, we rarely see a living soul. It seems the scope of the war’s devastation is broader than we imagined."

Li Yunjing said softly.

"’Yanyan State’ was originally one of the richest states of the ’Netherworld Ghost Sect,’ but now it’s like this."

Fu Chao sighed and said, "It’s unavoidable! In a mortal war, everything is destroyed, let alone a cultivators’ war."

The journey was smooth, and the "carriage" reached "Ma Family Fort" in half an hour.

Without needing to enter "Ma Family Fort," from afar, Li Yunjing and the others saw many people standing outside the town.

Many people, seeing Li Yunjing and the others arriving, had sharp eyes, seemingly scrutinizing and observing them.

Behind these people were several large carriages.

The positions of these people formed a fan shape, and Li Yunjing immediately knew they were protecting these carriages; the boxes on them were obviously the cargo transported by the caravan.

As for why not use spatial magical treasures for transportation?

Evidently, these goods were low-level and didn’t warrant the use of many "Hundred Treasures Pouches" for transport.

Not everyone was like Li Yunjing, carrying hundreds of storage magical treasures with them.

Some Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, after a lifetime, could carry two or three "Hundred Treasures Pouches" at best.

So many goods, box by box, together weighed hundreds, even thousands of tons.

Even Li Yunjing would find it burdensome to transport such things.

As for using flying magical artifacts for transport?

One must consider the location!

This was the fiercest frontline of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and "Netherworld Ghost Sect’s" crossfire!

Anyone uninvolved would avoid being seen!

Who dared to fly in the sky?

Even someone like Li Yunjing was cautious, switching from the "Cyan Cloud Ship" to the "carriage" as a means of transportation.

Wasn’t it just to avoid attracting the "Netherworld Ghost Sect’s" attention?

If caught in the frontline by a large number of cultivators, even a Golden Core Realm cultivator could die!

That’s why earlier, Li Yunjing and the others advanced at such a "turtle pace," just to get here.

"Old Li, it’s them!"

Fu Chao looked at the man and woman in front, whispering to Li Yunjing.

"Hmm! Let’s go over!"

Li Yunjing nodded, looking into the distance; these two had uncommon auras and were clearly not ordinary people.

The man was tall, appeared middle-aged, had a fair complexion, was very handsome, and wore a white long robe, exuding some charm.

This person seemed to be more of a clan cultivator than a sect cultivator.

When Li Yunjing looked over, the man was very calm, returning Li Yunjing’s gaze, and inspecting Li Yunjing and Fu Chao.

Beside him was a woman, a middle-aged lady with narrow phoenix eyes and red lips. Although her looks couldn’t rival Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, she could definitely be considered a beauty in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The aura of both was at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Their specific strength was hard to discern unless they fought or used divine techniques, which would expose their power.

"These are the employers! ’Yunchi City,’ Nangong Family, Nangong Yuan, and his wife Huang Yun!"
