"Please go ahead," Gu Weiyun said quickly.
The Tianyang Sect disciple then said, "Now, have everyone in your caravan get off the carriages and undergo inspection."
Gu Lingxuan and Chun Tao then got off the carriage together, and Ye Feng and Luo Qingling also got out of the carriage.
Sun Gang and the other guards dismounted from their horses.
They all stood at a distance, waiting quietly, while the Tianyang Sect disciples climbed up and down the carriage, even unloading the Shining Star Silver from it.
It took a full hour to finally finish.
"Alright, you can go up the mountain now, but from now on none of you can ride in carriages; you must travel by carriage," said the outer disciple of the Tianyang Sect.
It seemed to be the same the previous times, because Gu Weiyun did not express any dissatisfaction, nor did he show any surprise on his face.
"So many rules," Luo Qingling said softly.
"There's nothing we can do, it's always like this."
Gu Lingxuan paused for a moment, then said, "However, Tianyang Sect is very quick to pay, and the price they pay for Shining Star Silver is 20% higher than the market price, so no matter how much trouble it causes, it's still worthwhile."
The caravan set off again, heading towards Zhonghao Mountain.
But after walking less than two miles, they were blocked again.
Another hurdle.
Moreover, there are even more Tianyang Sect disciples guarding this checkpoint.
Perhaps having already received the message from the disciples at the previous checkpoint, the Tianyang Sect disciples at this checkpoint didn't ask too many questions, but simply inspected the convoy.
So, half an hour later, Ye Feng and the others were able to continue their ascent up the mountain.
"How many more checkpoints are there ahead?" Luo Qingling asked.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there are still four more," Gu Lingxuan replied.
"Four more? That means a total of six checkpoints? That's way too strict!" Luo Qingling exclaimed softly.
Gu Lingxuan also gave a wry smile.
We entered Zhonghao City in the morning, but it wasn't even noon when we arrived at the foot of Zhonghao Mountain.
But now night has fallen, and the convoy has not yet officially entered the Tianyang Sect's mountain gate.
There's one more checkpoint ahead, and that's the final one.
Gu Weiyun walked with great difficulty. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The last checkpoint is just ahead. Once we get past that, we can enter the Tianyang Sect. However, it's already evening, and Elder Li Hengfeng definitely won't see us at this time. We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning for Elder Li to come and see us."
"Young Master Feng, I will introduce you to Elder Li at that time, so don't worry."
Night Breeze smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. It's only right that I introduce you, after all, you've saved our lives more than once," Gu Weiyun said earnestly.
The sound of rushing water filled the air, and a large river flowing down the mountain appeared in front of us.
After the caravan rounded the bend, it traveled along a mountain road beside the great river, which looked extremely dangerous, as if it might fall into the river at any moment.
"The road is right next to the river, it's too dangerous, why isn't there even a guardrail?" Luo Qingling muttered to herself.
Gu Lingxuan smiled and said, "The people of Tianyang Sect are all martial artists. Not only would they not fall into the river by accident, but even if they did, it wouldn't kill them. Since that's the case, there's no need to go to the trouble of putting up a railing here."
"That's true."
Luo Qingling nodded and said no more.
But just then, a sudden gust of wind swept in.
The sudden gust of wind seemed to carry with it a violent, demonic aura, which frightened the horses in the caravan.
The strong winds made it impossible for everyone present to open their eyes!
"What...what's going on?" Luo Qingling's face changed drastically in fright.
Gu Weiyun and Gu Lingxuan were equally frightened; their faces turned pale and they looked flustered.
Thump!
The sound of splashing water rang out, and Ye Feng immediately turned his head to look.
One carriage after another was swept away by the gale and plunged into the river.
"My goods! My goods!"
Gu Weiyun saw it too, and he was devastated. He slapped his thigh and shouted, but it was no use.
Ye Feng was hesitating whether to lend a helping hand when the carriage that had fallen into the river suddenly exploded with a deafening bang, and even flames appeared on the surface of the water!
The carriage that fell into the river was blown to smithereens, and the horses were torn to pieces, turning the river water red with blood.
What's going on?
The carriage that fell into the river suddenly exploded?
Shining Silver does not explode when it comes into contact with water. Could this explosion be a trick used by a monster hidden in the river?
Almost all the carriages were blown into the river by the strong winds, with explosions and splashes everywhere.
As a result, hundreds of Tianyang Sect disciples flew in from afar and surrounded Ye Feng and his group.
"Who dares to cause trouble in our Tianyang Sect!"
"Stop talking nonsense, just arrest them!"
Gu Weiyun shouted, "Injustice! We are from the Nanyue City Deer Merchant Guild, we are here to pay respects to your sect's Grand Elder..."
Before Gu Weiyun could finish speaking, he was pinned to the ground and unable to move by the outer disciples of the Tianyang Sect, while the others were also subdued.
Although the guard captain, Sun Gang, had the strength to resist these outer disciples, he didn't dare to make a move.
After all, this is the Tianyang Sect. If he injures a disciple of the Tianyang Sect, then he will be in real trouble!
Half an hour later, Ye Feng, Luo Qingling, Gu Weiyun, Gu Lingxuan, Chun Tao, Sun Gang, and the other guards were all imprisoned in the dungeon of the Tianyang Sect.
Ye Feng and Sun Gang, along with other guards, had restraint rings handcuffed to their wrists.
Because the Tianyang Sect disciples had already discovered that Ye Feng and Sun Gang were martial artists when they took action, they specifically handcuffed them with restraint rings to prevent them from resisting.
At this moment, Gu Weiyun sat in the prison cell, sighing repeatedly, as dejected as if his parents had died.
Gu Lingxuan was also taken aback, and her expression was extremely unpleasant.
Luo Qingling wasn't afraid at all.
Because she knew that with the night breeze there, nothing would happen.
If all else fails, Ye Feng can forcefully break out of the dungeon with her and fight his way out of the Tianyang Sect!
"This is so unlucky, so incredibly unlucky."
"I, Gu Weiyun, have been in the business world for over twenty years, and I've never been this unlucky before!"
Gu Weiyun said dejectedly, and looked at Ye Feng: "I'm really sorry, Young Master Feng, I've dragged you into this."
The night breeze waved goodbye, then bowed its head in deep thought.
The sudden appearance of the gale and demonic energy, and the carriage that exploded immediately upon falling into the water, puzzled him greatly.
If a monster was hiding in the river causing trouble and stealing Gu Weiyun's Shining Star Silver, then it could have been transported directly from the riverbed. Why create such a huge explosion?
This doesn't make any sense at all.
