On the way to the Western Region College, Dapeng had to stop and rest from time to time.
And so we flew for eight days.
Eight days ago, everything went smoothly. Eight days later, as Dapeng was getting closer and closer to those big countries and powerful forces, Dapeng could no longer fly so conspicuously.
Chen Yan can only walk.
She was planning to go into town to buy a horse.
The process of buying the horse went smoothly. She then bought some food and clothes in the city and put them in the storage space.
When she was riding her horse and about to leave the city, she suddenly realized that several people were watching her secretly.
She did not panic, but left the city very calmly.
Not long after she left the city, those shifty-looking men suddenly appeared, surrounded her, and said with a very obscene smile: "Little girl, hand over your belongings and serve us well, and we will spare your life!"
Chen Yan grabbed the reins with her left hand to stop the horse. She looked at them indifferently. She could sense that their cultivation was around the seventh level of the Yellow Realm.
Chen Yan's right hand slowly transformed into the Spirit Phoenix Sword, and he said calmly: "Anyone who stands in my way will die."
When these words were spoken, those people laughed happily.
Just when they were not paying attention, the purple-clothed girl on horseback suddenly swung her sword towards them. Their pupils suddenly shrank, and in an instant a sword blade like a gust of wind broke through the air and attacked them.
clang——
With one sword, they were chopped to the ground!
"Ah!" Just as they screamed, the girl in purple had disappeared from the horse's back. When she appeared again, she pointed her sword directly at their necks!
She was so fast that they had no chance to dodge.
These people had their heads chopped off by Chen Yan, and two of their heads were chopped off by the sword wind not far away.
Passersby were shocked and took a detour.
Chen Yan lowered her eyes and saw that they were wearing storage rings. She leaned over and took off their storage rings, but at this moment, her eyes swept towards the place where one of the heads was.
A big hand stretched out from the ground and slapped the bloody head away.
The head immediately rolled away like a ball.
Chen Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she became alert in an instant. She stood up abruptly, clasped the hilt of the sword with her five fingers, and prepared to fight.
A voice came out.
"Who is it! Who is blocking the exit of our passage with a human head?!"
The place where the big hand stretched out was covered by dense grass. When the big hand pushed the grass aside, a young man in green clothes popped up, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.
The boy had regular features, eye-catching long red hair, fine bangs on his forehead, stained with a little dirt, and shiny black eyes like a kitten, with a youthful and energetic air.
Chen Yan and the young man looked at each other.
The young man glanced around and frowned, "Were you the one who blocked the cave entrance with the head?"
"I didn't mean to do that."
Chen Yan explained lightly, her eyes swept around the edge of the cave where the boy was, and she felt a little curious, where does the passage under the cave lead to?
And the boy has red hair. Could he be a member of the royal family of the Scarlet Phoenix Kingdom?
Suddenly, the red-haired boy seemed to be pulled and he immediately crawled back.
Seeing this, Chen Yan withdrew her gaze and turned around to continue on her way when she heard a voice: "Second Miss Shen?"
Chen Yan paused, and she turned back with a gloomy look at the location of the cave entrance.
The man turned out to be Zhuge Weiran, the seventh prince of the Red Phoenix Kingdom!
Zhuge Weiran had been badly harmed by Shen Xue and the others in Lingyan Forest. Now he looked well and healthy, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Seventh Prince." Chen Yan nodded slightly at him as a greeting. Just as she was about to mount her horse and leave, Zhuge Weiran spoke again.
Zhuge Weiran asked aloud, "Miss Shen Er, where do you want to go?"
"Western Region College." Chen Yan did not hide it from him because she felt that Zhuge Weiran had good character and was an upright person.
Zhuge Weiran didn't seem surprised by this answer. He smiled slightly and said, "We are also going to the Western Region College to apply for the exam. Miss Shen, are you interested in going with us?"
Chen Yan's expression paused slightly, and she looked at Zhuge Weiran in surprise and suspicion.
Only Zhuge Weiran's upper body appeared on the horizon, while his lower body was still in the cave.
"How do we get there?" Chen Yan frowned.
Zhuge Weiran smiled: "We have an underground passage that will get us to Western Region City faster."
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the young man in green came from underground: "Give me money and I'll take you there! No money, no deal!"
Chen Yan: “…”
She asked, "How soon?"
Zhuge Weiran replied, "Almost half the time."
Chen Yan: "How much does it cost?"
Before Zhuge Weiran could speak, the voice of the young man in green came: "Give as much as you can! The more the better!"
Zhuge Weiran looked a little embarrassed. He said, "My ninth brother is quite straightforward. Since we know each other, you don't need to pay."
Chen Yan hesitated slightly when he heard this.
She didn't know much about the route to the western part of Pingze, and she stopped and started many times along the way. According to the map, she had only walked less than one-third of the distance.
Chen Yan thought for a moment and finally nodded.
"Trouble."
Zhuge Weiran shook his head and smiled, not caring whether it was troublesome or not.
"I'll go in first, and then you come in."
"good."
Chen Yan saw Zhuge Weiran's figure disappear. She walked to the side of the cave entrance and looked down. There was a little light.
Chen Yan put away her sword, but she was always alert. The entrance to the cave was not very big, so she jumped down.
With a bang, she landed on her feet.
In the dim light, she saw only two people, Zhuge Weiran and the young man in green. However, there were also a lot of bones piled up here, and it seemed that many people died here.
Either shot by an arrow or poisoned...
There is a mechanism here!
There seems to be an illusion?!
The young man in green raised his eyebrows, put his hands on his hips, tilted his head, and asked with a smile: "Are you Chen Yan, who was once a waste and is now a genius?"
Chen Yan: “…”
"Stop talking, Youlin." Zhuge Weiran frowned and gave the green-clothed boy a warning look.
At this time, an old woman's voice came from the deeper and darker passage.
"Have you two finished breathing? Time to hit the road!"
Zhuge Youlin immediately responded, "I'm coming, aunt!"
Zhuge Weiran pressed the mechanism from the bulge on one side of the wall. In an instant, the entrance to the cave was instantly covered by a thick layer of iron plate, blocking out the only ray of light.
Then, Zhuge Weiran took out a night-shining pearl and illuminated the path of the passage. He turned around and said to Chen Yan carefully, "Let's go in, but you have to follow my steps, otherwise, the mechanism will be triggered."
