"It's like you usually get up early." Ye Lanxuan didn't explain why he got up late, but teased Mu Hanyan.
"I want to come too." Mu Hanyan practiced all night last night. Although she was in high spirits, she still wanted to stay in bed.
"Where are we going?" Ye Lanxuan asked.
"Let's go to the market and see if there's anything to buy." Mu Hanyan replied.
"I'll buy you whatever you like." Ye Lanxuan said this very naturally, with a hint of pampering in his tone.
"No need, I have my own money. I can buy you whatever you like." Mu Hanyan said in a very wealthy manner.
Zirong and the others looked at each other, then looked up at the sky, thinking to themselves, "Oh, the clouds in the sky are so beautiful."
Mu Zeran and the others didn't think much about it, they just thought that Mu Hanyan had a good relationship with his friend.
The group chatted and soon arrived at the market town.
Since it is called Fangshi, it is of course very different from the market in Blackrock City.
Not only is it more prosperous and lively, but in addition to the merchants coming and going from all over the place, there are also chambers of commerce of various sizes, and the flags of certain alchemy workshops and sword workshops on both sides of the street are fluttering in the wind, and you can actually hear the clanging sound of swords being forged.
The Nanyan Chamber of Commerce also has its own market, which is quite lively, but it is obviously not comparable to the capital. As Mu Hanyan walked, she looked at the elixirs and swords displayed in front of various alchemy and weapon workshops with great interest, which broadened her horizons a little.
Suddenly, Mu Hanyan stopped.
In the crowd in front, a young man in black clothes, carrying a broadsword on his back, walked slowly. His long black hair was tied behind his head, emitting a faint purple halo in the sunlight.
He was not tall, but he had an upright figure and a straight back, like the broadsword behind him, exuding a sharp aura. Even when walking among the crowd, he stood out.
"Fen Qianji!" Even if it was just a back view, Mu Hanyan was sure that she would not make a mistake.
He was Mu Hanyan's best friend in her previous life, and even the only friend she trusted. But it was also he who attacked Mu Hanyan from behind and dealt her a fatal blow when she had just been promoted to the Saint level.
Even if he turned into ashes, Mu Hanyan would never forget this figure.
Burning Thousand Silence!
Fen Qianji!!!
This person once became her nightmare, overwhelmed by anger and hatred.
After being reborn, Mu Hanyan met this person for the first time. She didn't expect it to be so sudden.
In an instant, endless anger and hatred rose from the bottom of her heart. Mu Hanyan subconsciously reached for her waist, but found nothing. Then she remembered that the Hanxiao Sword was not with her.
However, even without the Hanxiao Sword, she would never let Fen Qianji go.
suddenly!
"Ah... run!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way quickly."
At this moment, a rumbling sound was heard, the earth trembled slightly, and the streets in the distance were in chaos.
In the blink of an eye, a strange beast rushed onto the long street.
This strange beast stood nearly ten feet tall, its body covered in crimson scales. It stomped across the ground, stirring up clouds of smoke. Passersby dodged as it charged, and those who were slow to react were sent flying.
Fortunately, most of the people in the capital had some skills, and although many people had broken bones, no one was killed.
A Crimson Charcoal Cloud Smoke Beast. As she got closer, Mu Hanyan could clearly see that this was a military mount used by the various nations of the Holy Court Continent. Compared to the scaly-armored horned horse that had pulled the cart when Mu Hanyan arrived, the Crimson Charcoal Cloud Smoke Beast was also a mutated steed, but it was taller, stronger, and more robust. It charged into battle as if it were flat ground, its impact force so intense that swordsmen with lesser cultivation simply couldn't withstand its powerful impact.
Mu Hanyan was not afraid of it, but the strength of Mu Zeran and others was a little weaker. Seeing the Red Charcoal Cloud Smoke Beast rushing towards them, Mu Hanyan was afraid that Mu Zeran and others would be injured, so she hurriedly protected them and retreated a few steps.
Other pedestrians on the street also avoided it.
"Wow..." The crowd dispersed, only to see a child of only two or three years old standing in the middle of the street. He was probably squeezed away by the crowd and left alone in the middle of the street, crying loudly in fear.
Mu Hanyan's heart sank. It would be fine for the others, as they all had some cultivation, so even if they were injured it would not be fatal. But such a young child would definitely not be able to withstand the powerful impact of the Red Charcoal Cloud Smoke Beast. Unfortunately, she was protecting Mu Zeran and the others and retreating. The distance was too far, and it was too late for her to stop it now.
"Ah..." Seeing that the child was about to die under the iron hoof of the Red Charcoal Cloud Beast, bursts of exclamations came from the crowd.
Mu Hanyan turned her head to look at Ye Lanxun. At this time, only he could save the child.
Ye Lanxuan's eyes fixed, and he was about to take action.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed, and a young man with a broadsword on his back stood in front of the child.
The chaotic crowd suddenly quieted, everyone's attention fixed on the young man. He clearly hadn't prepared to draw his sword, or perhaps the suddenness of the situation meant he simply didn't have time to do so. Even a master swordsman would find it difficult to withstand the powerful impact of the Red Charcoal Cloud Beast.
With a dull "bang", the young man was knocked away, and the red charcoal cloud beast was also shocked and retreated several steps.
Several Imperial Guards quickly stepped forward, first restraining the Scarlet Charcoal Cloud Beast, and then repeatedly apologizing to the crowd. Although the crowd was furious, they could only let it go when they saw that it was a beast tamed by the Imperial Guards.
"Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi, how are you?" The child's mother also rushed over, holding the child and said with tears on her face.
"Thanks to that young man, if he hadn't risked his life to block it, your child wouldn't be alive."
"Yes, he actually fought against the Red Charcoal Cloud Beast with his flesh and blood body. I don't know if he can save his life." Others said.
As they talked, they looked in the direction where the young man was knocked away, but they only saw a small pool of blood along the road. The young man had disappeared long ago and had obviously left with injuries.
Seeing this, the onlookers praised him endlessly.
Mu Hanyan slowly loosened her clenched fingers, and scenes from the past reappeared before her eyes.
More than once, Fen Qianji stood in front of her like he did just now, no matter what kind of danger he faced, no matter how powerful the opponent was, he never hesitated.
Share life and death, never leave or abandon.
It is precisely for this reason that Mu Hanyan trusts him so much. Even when the sword pierced her heart, Mu Hanyan still couldn't believe that it was him who did it.
Besides the endless hatred, Mu Hanyan's heart was filled with questions that would never be solved. Why did he betray her? Why did he attack her from behind? Did he ever consider her a friend? Did he ever treat her sincerely?
Mu Hanyan took a few steps to chase after him, but Fen Qianji was no longer in the crowd.
At this moment, Mu Hanyan's heart was in turmoil, and she almost stopped thinking. She didn't know what she should do now. Should she ask Fen Qianji why he treated her like that, or kill him immediately for revenge?
