According to the Empress, demons and monsters are also living beings in this world, and are also subjects of the empire. As long as they are willing to abide by the law, they should be protected by the empire.

Therefore, when constructing teleportation arrays, they generally avoid the territory of monsters.

Because the places the teleportation array passes through have a great impact on living beings on the ground.

If there's really no way to get around it, just cut off the teleportation distance; that way, you can also get closer to the relationship between humans and monsters.

If these monsters frequently harm people, the imperial court will deal with them.

However, there are some areas that are inherently strange, and even the most powerful teleportation arrays cannot pass through them.

The several hundred miles ahead belong to the latter.

But Feng Xiao had walked this road many times and didn't find it strange.

"This Miss Shen goes on a long trip without taking a few thugs with her?" Walking in this deep forest, Dugu Qiusheng felt a chill.

Even during the day, the yang energy in this forest probably isn't very good.

Feng Xiao said, "Although she is playful, she is already a cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation, and besides, she is Miss Shen."

Once she reveals her identity, who will dare to make things difficult for her along the way?

Even the most powerful demons would have to carefully consider whether or not to attack Shen Ruhui.

“Actually, I was thinking, could it be Yu Zanglong who did it?” Liu Yi suggested another possibility.

This possibility is very high.

Yu Canglong had always wanted to seize Peach Blossom Cave. Since Shen Ruhui was on good terms with Feng Xiao, it was understandable that Yu Canglong would target Shen Ruhui.

But Feng Xiao didn't think so.

If Yu Canglong had truly captured Shen Ruhui, he would have forced her to sign a contract, transferring Peach Blossom Cave to him free of charge, rather than killing her and abandoning her body in the wilderness.

"Perhaps something unexpected happened after they arrested him," Liu Yi still insisted on this view.

With the dead Shen Rusui, she naturally posed no threat to Feng Xiao.

Bian Lang, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and shouted, "Can you guys walk faster?"

These things can certainly be discussed during breaks.

Bian Lang could hardly compliment Shen Rusui's walking speed.

At this speed, it will take several days to travel over 600 li.

In fact, Shen Rusui's speed was not slow, but the corpses that Bian Lang had previously chased were either Xing Tian, ​​dragons, or Shi Ji Niangniang, all of which were huge and moved with incredible speed.

Having gotten used to that kind of corpse-driving speed, suddenly returning to normal feels quite strange.

However, as dawn approached, the progress was slightly better than Bian Lang had anticipated.

They walked about 300 li that night.

If we walk for another night, we will reach the next teleportation point.

During her rest time, Liu Yi set up a stove and cooked.

Feng Xiao also came over to help.

As the sun rose, Bian Lang and Dugu Qiusheng hid in a dark place and fell fast asleep.

Feng Xiao lay down next to Liu Yi, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Although he was very tired and sleepy, he just couldn't fall asleep.

"At first, I was the same way. I wasn't used to the reversed day and night, but after a few days, I got used to it," Liu Yi said with a smile.

Feng Xiao said, "Liu Yi, I'm very curious, what exactly is Bian Lang's cultivation level?"

"I don't know either." Liu Yi wanted to say that Bian Lang probably wasn't from this world.

Even an old ancestor at the Nascent Soul stage could be instantly killed by Bian Lang in a two-on-one fight. If you say Bian Lang isn't a god, probably no one would believe it.

As the two were chatting, Feng Xiao suddenly realized that Liu Yi had fallen silent. He turned his head and saw that Liu Yi had already fallen asleep.

Feng Xiao was still awake even after Bian Lang and the others woke up.

After nightfall, they continued their journey, and Feng Xiao felt very energetic.

Only now did she understand the deeper meaning behind Liu Yi's words that she would get used to it in a few days.

When people are so tired and sleepy, they don't care about day or night. They are happy as long as they can lie down and get a good night's sleep.

If they walk quickly tonight, they can teleport directly to the next city after reaching the teleportation point.

Feng Xiao wanted to get a good night's sleep at the inn.

"We've got a job." Bian Lang suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Liu Yi and Dugu Qiusheng both brandished their weapons, but they were protecting Shen Ruhui's corpse, which left Feng Xiao stunned.

Normally, shouldn't we protect her?

"Very alert. Young people these days are really good." From the darkness ahead, an old man slowly emerged, his face covered by white hair, holding a cane, and walking with a limp.

Upon seeing the old man, Feng Xiao said coldly, "Old cripple, I haven't offended you, have I?"

"If you take someone's money, you have to solve their problems," the old cripple said sinisterly.

Feng Xiao asked, "How much did Song Feng give you? I'll pay ten times that amount."

Being rich means being arrogant.

But the old cripple laughed loudly upon hearing this, saying, "An old cripple has his own rules."

The old cripple's rule is first come, first served.

Even if the previous employer only offered one spirit stone, since he had already accepted the job, he would still kill the target for the employer even if the target offered ten thousand spirit stones.

Bian Lang chuckled and said, "Lord of the Wind Cave, if you have so many spirit stones that you don't know what to do with them, why don't you give them all to me? I'll send all the enemies we encounter along the way to the Western Paradise for you."

“Master Bian, Old Cripple is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, he’s not easy to deal with,” Feng Xiao warned.

Bian Lang looked at the old cripple with disdain and sneered, "A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to come out and work as an assassin?"

"A Nascent Soul cultivator?" The old cripple brushed his hair aside, revealing a pair of incredibly angry eyes.

That old face was pockmarked, wrinkled, and disgusting.

It is said that an ordinary person would be scared to death if they suddenly saw the old cripple's face.

Bian Lang said, "Actually, in front of me, with your level of cultivation, you don't even qualify as a cultivator."

"These young people these days haven't improved their skills, but they're quite good at talking big," the old cripple chuckled.

Although he often acts alone, he actually has his own intelligence network.

When Feng Xiao came to the capital this time, he was accompanied by only three people. One of them was of unknown strength, two of them were in the Core Formation Realm, and with Feng Xiao, who was in the late Core Formation Realm, the old cripple could easily handle them.

This 600-mile-long, unteleportable road to death is the perfect place to strike.

Along this very road, the number of people who died at the hands of the old cripple is countless.

The nobles of the capital, when they went to Peach Blossom Cave for pleasure, would pass by this place again and again.

Bian Lang laughed and said, "Old cripple, I'll give you three moves first. Put in some effort so I can see what you're capable of."

"One move is enough," the old cripple sneered.

He didn't even need three moves; he only needed one move to kill Bian Lang.

The old cripple spoke lightly, but when facing an unknown opponent, he always went all out.

In an instant, a golden, glittering baby appeared above his head.

The infant sat cross-legged, hands clasped together, eyes closed, and an incredibly chilling pressure rapidly spread outwards.

"Come here and let Grandpa take a look." Bian Lang reached out, and the golden infant was in his hand in a flash.

The old cripple's eyes widened in fear as he stammered, "This...this..."
