Chapter 20 Hidden Deep
The next day.
A hint of paleness appeared on the horizon.
The sound of birds singing came from the treetops.
As the moon sets and the sun rises, the sleeping world gradually awakens and the vision becomes brighter.
After a night of practice, Lai Yang's blood and energy surged throughout his body, and his strength and blood energy increased slightly.
Sure enough, the feeling of practicing top-grade swordsmanship is different. It is several times stronger than the lower-grade Gale Blade.
With his spiritual attribute of more than 200 points, he cultivated the Nine Heavens Big Dipper Sword to the minor success stage in just one night.
Just as Lai Yang was practicing swordsmanship day and night, someone suddenly knocked on the door of his courtyard.
Boom boom boom…
Lai Yang let out a long sigh, slowly sheathed his sword, wiped the sweat from his face, and walked forward to open the door.
The person knocking on the door was a steward from Prince Wu's mansion.
The butler bowed respectfully and then said, "Sir, please get ready. The carriage is ready and we can set off at any time."
Lai Yang looked at the sweat on his body and nodded awkwardly: "Wait a moment, I'll go wash it."
"Okay, I will arrange two maids to help you bathe."
"It's just a small matter, I can do it myself."
After a while, Lai Yang changed into clean clothes and went out to see the housekeeper waiting outside.
Lai Yang followed the butler out of Prince Wu's Mansion and came to the back door of Prince Wu's Mansion.
At this moment, two carriages stopped at the back door.
It has an ordinary appearance but a large interior space, and the seats are made of comfortable materials so your butt won’t feel uncomfortable when you sit on them.
A carriage with a luxurious and grand appearance, which is obviously the one for dignitaries to ride.
Lord Mo stood between the two carriages and saw Lai Yang come out and waved to him.
Mo Ruyan had already boarded an ordinary and comfortable carriage and was looking at the situation outside through the small window with a bit of nervousness in her eyes.
"I have already arranged everything for the rest. Once you get on the carriage, someone will open the city gate. It is about ten miles away from the imperial city. I have arranged for the Silver Armored Army to pick you up there and escort you safely back to Northern Frontier City. I'll ask you to take care of Ruyan along the way."
Lord Mo stepped forward and patted Lai Yang on the shoulder, glanced at the sword in his hand, and gave him serious instructions.
Lai Yang nodded: "Yeah."
Needless to say, he knows what's going on.
"Dad, please come with us. The imperial city is too dangerous." Mo Ruyan looked at Mo Shenjun and Lai Yang outside the carriage with an uneasy look in her eyes.
Lord Mo turned to look at Mo Ruyan and comforted her softly, "You go first. Dad will catch up with you in two days. Be careful on the road and don't be willful."
Mo Ruyan seemed to see Lord Mo's determination and remained silent and stopped trying to persuade him.
She actually understood in her heart that they could leave the imperial city smoothly, but once Lord Mo left the imperial city, it would alarm the imperial court.
So he had to stay and attract other people's attention to ensure that the two of them could leave the imperial city safely.
Mo Ruyan is Lord Mo's weak spot and also his Achilles' heel.
If it was not necessary, other court officials would not risk completely offending King Tongwu by taking action against them.
You should know that the word "Wu" in "Tongwu Wang" does not just sound nice.
"Go ahead, and take care."
"Take care of yourself."
Lai Yang got on the carriage with Mo Ruyan.
In addition to Mo Ruyan and Lai Yang, there was also a personal maid serving them in the carriage, and outside the carriage sat a coachman wearing a bamboo hat.
Two carriages set off at the same time, the gorgeous carriage in front and the ordinary carriage behind.
Just as Lord Mo said, they encountered no difficulties at the exit of the imperial city and left the imperial city smoothly.
"We are out of the city." Mo Ruyan said happily.
"The next section of the road will be difficult to travel on, so Princess needs to be careful." The personal maid said slowly.
Lai Yang understood that she was right. Leaving the imperial city was just the beginning of the challenge.
The Silver Armor Army will meet them ten miles away. If someone really wants to take action, this section of the road in the middle is undoubtedly the most suitable.
When they reached the fork in the road, the two carriages did not stop at all and headed towards one of the two roads separately.
The gorgeous carriage took the left road, while the ordinary carriage carrying Lai Yang and others took the middle road.
The carriage had not moved forward far when its speed gradually slowed down until it stopped completely.
At this moment, a deep voice came from outside the carriage, and he shouted, "Princess, please get off the carriage."
Anyone could tell that this person's tone was malicious. Mo Ruyan's face changed and her beautiful eyes subconsciously looked at Lai Yang.
Lai Yang gave her a reassuring look, took his sword and got off the carriage.
A man in black stopped in front of the horse. He was holding a big knife with more than ten iron rings on the back of the knife, which made a clanging sound when he moved. His arms were muscular and full of strength. The aura around him was thick and powerful, and his blood and qi had already entered the seventh level.
The first uninvited guest is the great martial artist. What kind of opponent will appear next?
The fighting spirit surged under Lai Yang's calm eyes, and his warlike blood seemed to be gradually awakening.
When the man in black saw Lai Yang appear, a cruel arc appeared on his lips: "Who are you? Tell me your name. I will not kill nameless ghosts with my sword."
"Get out of the way, don't block the road. Anyone who blocks the road will die."
Lai Yang looked up at the man in black and reminded him coldly.
"You are so arrogant! Die! Remember my name. The one who kills you is 'Xiang Dao'."
The man in black rushed towards Lai Yang, dragging a big knife. The iron rings on the back of the knife made a clashing sound, which seemed to have the effect of disturbing consciousness.
Lai Yang remained calm and waited for the man in black to appear within the attack range. He placed his hand on the hilt of the sword and retracted it the moment the blade was unsheathed.
A gust of wind blew past, and then a body with its body separated from its body appeared on the ground.
Lai Yang said nothing, and didn't even look at the body of the man in black. He turned around and returned to the carriage.
The man in black couldn't even block his sword, and his strength was at the bottom among the great martial artists. It was not worth wasting too much time on such a small fry.
"Keep going."
The driver nodded silently and continued to drive the carriage forward.
After overcoming the first obstacle, I thought things would go much more smoothly afterwards.
Unexpectedly, when they advanced two miles to the hillside, they saw a group of masked thieves lying in ambush waiting for them.
The masked thieves were at least at the eighth-grade martial artist level, and the strongest one was even stronger than the previous one.
"Don't fight too long, just catch Mo Ruyan and leave."
"You want to arrest someone, have you asked about the sword in my hand?"
There were seven masked men who took action, and each of them had extraordinary skills.
They seemed to see that Lai Yang was very skilled, so they sent four of them to hold him back, while the remaining three rushed towards the carriage without looking back.
Just then, the driver, who had been silent all along, took action.
He pulled at his hat, not showing any panic in the face of the attack from the three men. He raised the whip in his hand and whipped them a few times at a moderate speed.
In an instant, the whip made a sonic boom and hit the hands of the three people who were approaching.
The three men were whipped and flew away, their skin torn and flesh exposed, and they fell to the ground groaning and wailing in pain.
Seeing this, Lai Yang felt relieved and decisively killed the four people in front of him.
He guessed correctly, none of the people arranged by Lord Mo were simple, they were all masters!
