When heading to Feilai Peak, Mu Hanyan was afraid of encountering some unpredictable danger, so she left them all in Fangjia Village. When she came back, she happened to encounter the matter of Mu Nan and Yu Qingwan, and then the matter of Gui Yu family. She had not taken care of them until this time.
"The last time you went to Feilai Peak, they received an order from the clan to return to the capital. I heard that Longyan College's enrollment was held ahead of schedule, so they were asked to go back and prepare in seclusion. By the way, I have already prepared the purple-heart nectar grass they need, and asked them to take it back with them." The head of the Fang family replied.
"Longyan College's enrollment will be held in advance?" Mu Hanyan had never heard of this.
"Yeah, I don't know why. In thousands of years, I have never heard of it happening in advance. Could something have happened in the academy?" The head of the Fang family was also a little surprised.
After hearing what he said, others were also a little confused.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, mixed with a few muffled sounds, like the sound of fighting.
"What happened?" Patriarch Fang asked the guard at the door with an unhappy look on his face.
"I don't know, it seems like someone is causing trouble. I'll go check it out." said the guard.
"No need, let's go and take a look." Mu Hanyan stood up and said.
After all, Fangjia Village is her territory. Thanks to the ever-growing exotic flowers and plants on Feilai Peak, the Fangjia Market, which is affiliated with the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, is also doing better and better business. How could she allow anyone to cause trouble here?
Soon, the group arrived outside the market gate.
More than a dozen members of the Fang family were confronting three young men with swords in their hands. Several other market guards were lying on the ground, their faces full of pain, obviously seriously injured.
A group of cultivators or merchants who came to the Fang family market to trade formed a semicircle and glared at the three young men, but dared not speak out.
"What's going on?" Patriarch Fang looked at the three young men, frowned, and asked.
Mu Hanyan looked at the three people and was also slightly startled.
The three of them were about eighteen or nineteen years old, all carrying long swords on their backs. Although their clothes were simple in style, the exquisite embroidery on the corners showed that they were of extraordinary quality. Moreover, they all had a strong body and restrained aura. If Mu Hanyan was not mistaken, they were all masters of the swordsman level.
But this is not surprising. There are many masters in the capital area, and the eight major families are even more talented. Swordsmen of this age are not uncommon.
What’s strange is that judging from the way these three people are dressed, they are clearly dressed as guards.
Three guards at the Sword Master level—if Hua Yue and the others hadn't been promoted to Sword Master today, even Mu Hanyan wouldn't have had such a grand display. It was unknown what their master's background was, so it was no wonder Patriarch Fang didn't rush into a rage. He wouldn't dare make an enemy without first clarifying their identities.
"Telling our master, we don't know where these people came from. They asked us right away if we were in Anyun Capital. We found their behavior suspicious, so we casually asked about their origins. But they got upset and attacked and injured several of our brothers." A guard who was slightly more seriously injured said bitterly.
"May I know your names, gentlemen, and which family you are from? Even if the guards of our Fang family market are not polite, they should not hurt people casually." Although the head of the Fang family was concerned about the other party's identity, he was still a little angry after hearing the guard's words, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Old man, you don't need to ask too much about our identities. Just tell me if the place ahead is Anyun Capital." A very strong young man said impatiently.
"How dare you hurt people for no reason and be so arrogant!" A swordsman watching could no longer tolerate it and shouted angrily.
"What? You're not convinced? Then come and try." The young man grasped the hilt of the sword with his backhand and laughed wildly.
Seeing his crazy look, the people around him were filled with anger, but when they saw him holding the hilt of the sword with his backhand, they fell silent again.
Mu Hanyan and the others didn't witness the fight, but they saw it all clearly. The Fangjiafang City guards were relatively weak, but they all fell to the ground before they could even see how the others attacked. It wasn't a fight at all, it was clearly one-sided abuse.
There were also many sword masters among the crowd, but if they asked themselves honestly, it would be impossible for any of them to knock down several guards in such a short time, so how could they have the nerve to go up and humiliate themselves.
"I've heard that Anyunguo is a weak country with a lot of strength inside. Apart from those old guys who keep up appearances, the younger generation is all fools. Today I see that it's true." Seeing the timid eyes of the crowd, another young man also laughed sarcastically.
"Are you my people, Anyun?" Patriarch Fang was slightly startled after hearing his words and blurted out the question.
"Yes, we are citizens of Shangyue!" said another young man. This man was obviously much calmer and not as arrogant as the previous two, but the arrogance between his brows was even greater.
"What, they are people from Shangyue Kingdom!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Although the security between countries in the Holy Court Continent is not strict, and they are even more tolerant towards practitioners, and many times no customs documents are even required to travel to other countries, Anyun and Shangyue are different. Since the war a thousand years ago, the two countries have completely severed diplomatic relations, and even this ancient trade route that has been used for nearly ten thousand years has been closed since then.
In both countries, whether it is the princes and relatives of the emperor or the common people, they all regard each other as mortal enemies, and very few people would easily set foot on each other's territory.
When they heard that these three people were from Shangyue Kingdom, everyone looked at them with hatred.
