Zhao Yurou's face showed a deep look of confusion.

"Han Mengxuan? Are there any wealthy merchants with the surname Han in Fenghua City? I've never heard of them before," Zhao Yurou muttered to herself.

Greengrass chuckled and said, "Maybe it's just a nobody. If it were a big shot, why would they force their daughter into a marriage alliance?"

"That's true." Zhao Yurou nodded and said no more.

The night passed quickly.

Nothing happened, which made Luo Mengxuan slightly disappointed.

Luo Mengxuan originally thought that more monsters would attack the caravan, since the caravan mainly transported spiritual herbs, which have a natural attraction to monsters.

"Junior brother, didn't you want to get the swan spirit root from Zhao Yurou? Why haven't you taken any action?" Luo Mengxuan said.

"What's the rush? The opportunity will come soon," Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Did you discover something?" Luo Mengxuan asked curiously.

“I have indeed made a discovery, but I won’t tell you,” Night Wind said with a smile.

"Junior brother, tell me! I'm dying of curiosity!" Luo Mengxuan said persistently.

But no matter how Luo Mengxuan asked, Ye Feng refused to tell her.

Two or three hours later, the caravan was not far from Fengyuan City and it was estimated that they would be able to leave the mountains before dark.

But just then, a series of dark figures emerged from the forest and chased after the caravan.

The head of the guards, Zhao Hu, changed his expression drastically and roared, "There are assassins! Protect the young lady!"

So all the guards gathered around Zhao Yurou's carriage, layer upon layer, to protect it.

Unexpectedly, the assassins' target was not Miss Zhao in the carriage, but the medicinal herbs being transported by the caravan.

The assassins then threw out a series of explosive projectiles, which immediately caused a series of loud explosions.

"Quickly protect the elixir!" Zhao Yurou's panicked voice rang out.

Zhao Hu's voice suddenly rang out: "Miss, don't worry, the elixir is fine."

"The elixir is alright? How is that possible!"

Zhao Yurou said in surprise, her face full of doubt.

With so many thunderbolts attacking the cargo wagons, deafening explosions rang out again and again. The medicinal herbs loaded inside the wagons should have been mostly destroyed, so how could they be unharmed?

Zhao Yurou hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked her head out of the carriage.

Then she witnessed a scene that shocked her deeply.

A man stood in the air, casting beams of golden light to form a protective barrier, shielding all the carriages.

And that man, who else could it be but the young man named Ye Feng!

"Wow, that's amazing! What level of cultivation is that person at?" Zhao Yurou exclaimed in surprise.

Zhao Hu answered without hesitation, "Miss, that man is at least at the True Essence Realm!"

Night Breeze looked down at the carriages and, seeing that they were safe and sound under its protection, nodded in satisfaction.

Luo Mengxuan also made her move. She charged fiercely towards the assassins with the Broken Flower Sword in her hand, killing them one by one.

None of these assassins could withstand a single blow from Luo Mengxuan; almost all of them were killed by her with a single sword strike.

The night wind protected the carriage, while Luo Mengxuan attacked the enemy; the two cooperated seamlessly, a truly remarkable feat.

Seeing this, Zhao Yurou's expression of shock deepened, while Zhao Hu and the other guards were also deeply moved.

They initially looked down on Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan, thinking they were a burden, but now they finally understand that Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan are not only not a burden, but also their guardian angels!

Especially Zhao Hu!

Zhao Hu finally realized who had secretly helped him defeat the Star Ironclad Beast yesterday.

Without a doubt, it's that woman named Luo Mengxuan!

With each thrust of Luo Mengxuan's sword, pink flower petals danced and swirled in the sword energy. Those petals were so similar to the ones that blinded the Starry Sky Ironclad Beast yesterday!

"Amazing!"

"Who exactly are those two people?"

"He is definitely a disciple of a prestigious sect!"

"Luckily we were relatively polite to them yesterday, otherwise we would have been in big trouble."

The guards all started discussing it, and everyone's tone was one of shock.

Luo Mengxuan killed almost all of the dozen or so assassins in black. The reason I say almost is because Luo Mengxuan deliberately left one alive.

"Junior brother, mission accomplished," Luo Mengxuan said with a smile.

Night Breeze finally nodded and removed the restrictions covering the carriage.

As it descended from the sky, Ye Feng called out loudly, "Miss Zhao, why don't you get out of the car and greet me?"

Zhao Yurou immediately got off the carriage and wanted to come to Ye Feng, but was stopped by Zhao Hu.

"Miss, please be careful!" Zhao Hu warned.

Zhao Yurou smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry. If these two heroes had any ill intentions towards us, we would already be dead. You saw the strength they just displayed. Do you really think you can stop them?"

Upon hearing Zhao Yurou's words, Zhao Hu's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.

Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan's strength was indeed far superior to his. Even with so many companions helping him, he could still use the Hunyuan Taiyi Formation to concentrate their true energy into himself, thus possessing strength comparable to the mid-stage of the True Yuan Realm for a short period of time.

But that's still far from enough.

Ye Feng was already at the peak of the True Essence Realm, and Luo Mengxuan was even a martial artist at the Divine Travel Realm.

What makes him comparable to Ye Feng Luo Mengxuan?

So if Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan really had malicious intentions towards them, they could have just taken action directly; there was no need for these little tricks.

But Zhao Hu was still a little uneasy, and after hesitating for a moment, he followed Zhao Yurou to Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan.

"Thank you both for saving me, I am deeply grateful," Zhao Yurou said earnestly.

"Enough with the nonsense, see if you recognize this assassin leader," Ye Feng said.

Luo Mengxuan immediately removed the black cloth from the assassin's face, revealing a slightly lewd-looking man's face.

"Luo Qiang, it's you!" Zhao Yurou exclaimed in surprise.

Zhao Hu then said, "Your Luo family is truly despicable and shameless! You'd go to such lengths to steal business! Have you no shame?"

The assassin leader, Luo Qiang, said angrily, "Enough nonsense! We were enemies to begin with, and now I'm in your hands—it's my bad luck! Do with me as you please!"

"Pretty tough, huh?" Ye Feng said with a chuckle.

Zhao Yurou explained, "The Luo family is also a powerful family in Fenghua City, directly competing with our Zhao family in every way. This time, our family's caravan was transporting a large amount of spiritual herbs to Fengyuan City for sale, and the Luo family sent assassins to attack the caravan, prioritizing the carriages carrying the spiritual herbs. They are most likely trying to sabotage our business."
