Han Feng believed that Gu Ruyan had no reason to deceive him, so the problem must lie with the fierce-looking man in front of him.
"If you're not going to pay, then you'd better leave now."
The fierce and ruthless Tian Youcai said.
Tian Youcai possesses the cultivation level of the mid-stage Dao Tian Realm and is a minor leader in this small caravan.
If Han Feng were to confront Tian Youcai head-on, he wouldn't be able to get into the caravan.
Left with no other choice, he had to pay another top-grade Dao Jade to join the team.
Han Feng remembered this; it had been a long time since anyone dared to charge him much money.
Han Feng was located in the Northern Region, the territory of the Heavenly God Palace.
Tian Youcai is a member of the Heavenly God Temple; if Han Feng makes a move against him, something bad will happen.
He would have plenty of opportunities to kill Tian Youcai as he traversed the Northern Region and arrived in the Central Region.
After Han Feng entered the caravan, people gradually followed.
The Heavenly God Temple team, which originally consisted of only a few thousand people, suddenly expanded to more than a hundred thousand.
Han Feng felt that this tribute was not a profit for the Dao Domain Emperor, but rather a huge profit for Xiao Tianzhan.
The toll alone for the caravan carrying so many people to the Central Region would be a huge sum.
They only stopped allowing outsiders to enter when the caravan numbered a staggering two hundred thousand or more.
This caravan was clearly overloaded, with over a thousand key members leading more than two hundred thousand people.
Han Feng was somewhat worried about the caravan; he feared something might happen to them before they reached the Central Region.
After asking him questions, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.
Each caravan would bring in so many people, and while some unexpected events might occur along the way, they were generally able to reach the Central Region.
The strongest member of the caravan was a powerful cultivator at the early stage of the Earthly Realm named Chen Xuan, one of Xiao Tianzhan's ten most trusted generals.
Legend has it that the Great Emperor of the Dao Domain sensed something was wrong with Xiao Tianzhan and ordered him to return to the Central Domain.
Xiao Tianzhan harbored ambitions of establishing his own independent regime, yet he feared the retaliation of the Dao Domain Emperor.
The Dao Domain Emperor suffered severe injuries during his duel with the Eastern Emperor.
Xiao Tianzhan didn't know how serious the injury was.
While Xiao Tianzhan was hesitating, his ten generals helped him make a decision.
The ten generals believed that Xiao Tianzhan was so powerful and had no ambition for secession, so it would be very dangerous for him to go to the Dao Domain.
It would be a better choice for Xiao Tianzhan to establish a separatist regime in the Northern Region.
All ten generals unanimously agreed that Xiao Tianzhan was better suited to rule the Northern Region than the Dao Region Emperor.
Then Xiao Tianzhan stayed in the Northern Region, allowing it to enjoy long-term peace and stability without major upheavals.
Xiao Tianzhan was grateful for the advice of the ten generals, and these ten generals all benefited greatly in the Northern Region.
They came to the Northern Region alone and have now established a large family.
Chen Xuan was the weakest among them, yet he was Xiao Tianzhan's favorite.
This is such an important caravan, and it will be entrusted to Chen Xuan to lead.
Chen Xuan did not disappoint Xiao Tianzhan's expectations; the caravan he led was generally safe and sound.
Chen Xuan always completed his missions well, which earned him Xiao Tianzhan's high regard.
Han Feng simply smiled when he heard the rumor.
Only a fool would believe that Xiao Tianzhan was forced to take over the power struggle of the Ten Great Generals.
Han Feng remembered that Xiao Tianzhan's strength was second only to the Dao Domain Emperor.
The difference between the two is not significant. Although the Dao Domain Emperor was seriously injured, Xiao Tianzhan was not afraid of him at all.
Xiao Tianzhan doesn't need anyone's advice; he will become king and dominate the Northern Region on his own.
"Everyone, please take your assigned seats and do not move around or wander off. If anything happens during this time, the caravan will not be held responsible."
The steward, Tian Youcai, led Han Feng and the others onto a large ship, which was a Dao Tian Realm flying artifact.
The ship is thousands of meters long, hundreds of meters wide, and weighs hundreds of millions of tons, making it even more terrifying than some mythical behemoths.
Under Tian Youcai's guidance, Han Feng took a seat.
This spot is just a small area with no seats or armrests.
Han Feng sat here, surrounded by a large crowd.
These people include both men and women, and some have high cultivation levels while others have low cultivation levels.
Han Feng sensed that someone nearby harbored ill intentions. Given their similar cultivation levels, a sneak attack would be enough to kill him.
He wasn't worried about anyone ambushing him, because he had the highest cultivation level among those around him.
After Han Feng joined the caravan, in order to avoid attracting too much attention, he suppressed his cultivation level to the mid-stage of the Dao Heaven Realm.
With his cultivation at the late stage of the Yellow Heaven Realm, any opponent he faced would be like a fish being slammed into a frying pan.
Han Feng felt that he had joined Tian Youcai's team through irregular channels.
If it were done through legitimate channels, they would arrange a room; it's impossible to just sit on the deck.
Before Han Feng arrived at the caravan, Gu Ruyan said that she had gone to great lengths to obtain a legitimate channel to join the Northern Region Caravan.
He was charged an extra toll by Tian Youcai as soon as he arrived; he certainly wouldn't have been charged this extra money through legitimate channels.
Furthermore, when he boarded the large ship, he was not assigned a room, but rather a rather secluded deck.
Unless there are very special circumstances, you cannot leave.
This is clearly not a special channel; it's a very shady channel.
Han Feng felt that Gu Ruyan could not possibly deceive him, so it must be Tian Youcai who deceived Gu Ruyan.
Even if he knew all this beforehand, he would still have joined the caravan.
Han Feng's identity has always been a major flaw that cannot withstand close scrutiny.
In particular, the Central Region is the Daoist Emperor's training ground, and the most frequent task of the Defender of the Dao Sect is to investigate people from the outside world.
A dozen or so huge spaceships started up and headed towards the central region.
"I spent so much Dao Jade, and I didn't even get a private room. They made me stay here. I'm really getting ripped off."
"Yeah, this spaceship is so big, why should we stay on the deck? We should at least have spacious rooms."
"I was thinking of joining the annual caravan. It would save a lot of Dao Jade compared to using the teleportation array. The environment here is so bad, it's better to use the teleportation array."
...
Under the leadership of one person, many expressed their dissatisfaction.
"There's so much nonsense going on there. You can leave anytime you want if you don't want to."
After angrily shouting at everyone, Tian Youcai smiled coldly: "If you dare to cause trouble here, I will immediately call the law enforcement officers over, and you know what will happen to you."
"you!"
There was nothing anyone could do about Tian Youcai, so they could only suppress their anger.
Tian Youcai was able to deceive everyone into joining the caravan without fear of being purged, so he must have a powerful backer.
If they provoke Tian Youcai too much, they may never be able to leave this big ship again.
"Then we just need to be patient for a year, and we'll be able to reach the Central Region."
Han Feng did not protest, because it was pointless.
Instead of wasting time, you might as well close your eyes and cultivate.
"Fellow Daoist, where do you come from?"
A beautiful and hot young woman took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Han Feng.
Especially the girl's eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, sparkling and captivating.
