Chen Yan's expression changed slightly.
She was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Xianyue and said, "Xianyue, I have to go back to Nanxiao Country first."
"Okay, have a safe trip." Jiang Xianyue was also shocked by the news that Shen Huai had been missing for half a year, but she quickly reacted and nodded in the direction of Shen Yan.
After Chen Yan nodded, she took Tan Zhuang and the other two out of the box.
Just when Shen Yan and others walked to the lobby on the first floor of the auction house, they found that Nangong Jin and Lu Shaohuai were still fighting, and Shen Xue obviously noticed her. Shen Xue's eyes were dark and unclear. She was about to call Shen Yan, but saw Shen Yan and others hurriedly leaving the auction house.
Shen Xue's eyes darkened.
Why is Chen Yan in such a hurry to leave?
Could something have happened?
…
It was already dark, and just before the gates of Xuanwu Kingdom were about to close, Chen Yan and his companions got on a carriage and left the imperial city.
The moon is dark and the wind is strong.
The road back to Nanxiao Kingdom was extremely quiet, with only the occasional roar of beasts.
Chen Yan lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Tan Zhuang who was driving the carriage. She asked with a serious expression, "Uncle Zhuang, was that the message Dad sent you just now?"
Tan Zhuang replied, "Yes, Yanyan, don't worry too much. Huai'er is so capable, he will be fine."
At this time, Hongri and Yinyue also persuaded Chenyan to let go.
Although Chen Yan had no feelings for this brother whom she had never met, she had a duty to protect him.
Chen Yan asked, "Can we get back to Nanxiao Kingdom before dawn?"
Tan Zhuang immediately said, "Yes."
Tan Zhuang's face darkened slightly at this moment. He had previously found out that Huai'er had accepted a secret mission from the Western Region Academy, and then there was no news about him.
He thought Huai'er was carrying out a secret mission, but he didn't expect that—
He actually disappeared!
Tan Zhuang felt a little guilty.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit depressing.
About an hour and a half later, Tan Zhuang's face changed in shock. He felt dozens of unfamiliar auras approaching their location, carrying a strong smell of blood.
Chen Yan also noticed it. She lifted the curtain of the car and saw Tan Zhuang looking back at her with a serious expression: "Yan Yan, hide well!"
"Uncle Zhuang, who is that?"
"A large number of powerful cultivators at the Earth Rank level!"
As Tan Zhuang spoke, he pulled the reins hard and drove the carriage away from here as fast as he could, because he guessed that the other party was not here to hunt them down, but some strong men were so cruel that they would even kill passers-by.
However, those strange auras were approaching too quickly!
"Quick, kill him!"
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Chen Yan felt the pressure, her heart skipped a beat, and she became alert and on guard immediately.
She looked at Red Sun and Silver Moon and said, "If danger really comes, you must run away without hesitation!"
"Miss, what on earth happened?"
In the darkness, a carriage was speeding along a narrow path. Suddenly, a dark shadow crashed down on top of the carriage, accompanied by a loud bang.
A big hole appeared on the top of the carriage, and a shocking bloody hand appeared inside the carriage, with blood dripping down.
Hongri and Yinyue were frightened and screamed.
“Ahhhh!”
Chen Yan looked up and in the dim light, she could only see a young man in black with a bloody face. Although he looked disheveled, it still couldn't hide his stunning appearance.
The young man frowned in pain, but his eyes were extremely sharp and deep, filled with bloodthirsty hatred, as if he had walked out from a pile of dead bodies.
Tan Zhuang was shocked to find someone falling on top of the carriage, and he was furious.
This is simply a sudden disaster!
He stood up without hesitation and slapped the boy in the direction of his palm, trying to drive him out of the carriage.
But he didn't expect that the young man would dodge him and he clung to the carriage tightly.
And at this time——
Dozens of figures appeared and surrounded the carriage.
"We are not..." Tan Zhuang looked anxious and was about to explain, but these mysterious strong men ignored his existence and rushed straight towards the carriage.
A strong man raised his sword and slashed at the carriage.
Tan Zhuang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he had no choice but to take action to intercept.
boom--
With a loud bang, the opponent was forced back a few steps.
Tan Zhuang took out a giant axe and stood in front of the carriage like a guardian god of war, staring at these mysterious strong men with a fierce look on his face.
A powerful pressure burst out from Tan Zhuang's body, shocking these people for a moment. When they were about to attack again, Tan Zhuang took out a token.
Tan Zhuang shouted angrily, "I am Tan Zhuang, the elder of Tianmen in the Central Region. Do you dare to try?"
Central Region Heavenly Gate? !
The group's expressions changed slightly, and they were obviously shocked.
One of the strong men softened his attitude. He said, "Elder Tan, please hand the young man over to us. We will not interfere with each other's business!"
"Can."
Tan Zhuang took back the token and nodded.
Just as he turned around to pull the boy off the carriage, he was surprised to find that he had disappeared!
Tan Zhuang looked slightly startled, and the first thing he thought of was Chen Yan's safety.
“Yan Yan!”
He immediately raised his hand to pull open the curtain, but found that there were only Chen Yan, Hong Ri and Yin Yue inside, and no one else.
Tan Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to them and said, "The person you wanted to kill has already escaped!"
But they didn't believe it and thought that Tan Zhuang was hiding the young man, but Tan Zhuang also asked them to send someone to check the situation inside the carriage.
There were only three girls inside.
Those people's faces turned dark in an instant.
They've lost the man again! If they don't root it out completely, they won't be able to explain themselves when they return.
They searched the carriage carefully from front to back, but still didn't see the young man, so they had to leave and look for the young man.
After they left, Tan Zhuang asked Chen Yan with concern: "Yan Yan, are you frightened?"
Chen Yan shook her head: "No."
Tan Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, then started the carriage again and headed towards Nanxiao Kingdom as fast as possible.
At this time, Chen Yan in the carriage felt the coldness of the sharp weapon on his neck.
Someone held a sharp knife to her neck.
And this person was none other than the young man from before. He seemed to be able to perform the art of invisibility and had deceived everyone.
After a moment, Chen Yan said calmly: "Shouldn't you let go?"
Hongri and Yinyue thought Chenyan was talking to them. They were stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Miss, what are you talking about?"
Chen Yan raised her eyes and looked at them: "Don't be shocked later, and don't shout out."
Hongri and Yinyue nodded blankly.
Chen Yan suddenly raised her hand, as if grabbing the air in mid-air, and the next moment the skin on her neck was cut, and a trace of blood oozed out.
Hongri's pupils suddenly shrank. When she was about to say something, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
The young man in black, covered in blood, gradually appeared in the carriage. He was half-kneeling, with the dagger in his hand pointed at Chen Yan's neck, and his eyes were gloomy and cold.
Hongri was about to scream when Yinyue next to him raised her hand and covered her mouth.
