The weather was sunny today. Bai Hao drove the carriage along the wide mountain road, but dared not speed up. All the medicine bottles in the carriage were still packed in wooden boxes. Even with straw as padding, he dared not accelerate. If he accidentally broke one or two bottles due to the bumps, he wouldn't be able to afford to pay for them even if he sold himself.
It's better to be careful.
However, because we had to be careful, the return trip was much slower than the trip there, taking almost a third longer. It will take at least half a month to get back.
But it's okay if it takes a little longer, right?
The mini version of Su Yuewan on that map isn't appearing anymore, probably because that clone only has enough energy for a one-way trip. Anyway, Bai Hao already knew the general route when he came, so returning the way he came won't be a problem at all.
Of course, "no problem" means that under normal circumstances, without any human interference, you can go back normally.
But Bai Hao was unlucky and ran into a robber.
The robbers were two men who looked, built, and dressed similarly. Both were carrying a broadsword. The only difference was that the man on the left wore an eyepatch over his left eye, while the man on the right wore an eyepatch over his right eye.
This is the biggest difference.
"Is there something you need, brothers?" Bai Hao asked helplessly as he stopped the carriage.
Upon hearing this, the man with the left eyepatch immediately held his knife horizontally in front of him and stammered, "This...this tree is mine, this...road is mine...road I...opened. If you want to pass through, leave...leave some money!"
"If you can't even speak properly, don't come out here and try to rob someone." Bai Hao rolled his eyes.
"Stop...stop talking nonsense!" The woman with the left eyepatch glared menacingly at Bai Hao. If she hadn't spoken, she would have looked quite frightening.
But now his image is completely ruined, and Bai Hao doesn't feel threatened at all; he just finds it funny.
In this day and age, even stutterers are resorting to robbery; life is truly tough.
Seeing Bai Hao's completely fearless demeanor, the left-eyepatch was about to say something more when the right-eyepatch spoke first, looking at Bai Hao with icy eyes and saying coldly, "Enough nonsense, if you want to live, leave the things in the carriage behind!"
That icy gaze is something no ordinary person can fake; this guy with the right eyepatch has real skills!
but,
In Bai Hao's eyes, they were just two pieces of trash.
He'd been traveling a lot lately and was getting a bit bored, so he became interested in chatting with the two of them.
"Brothers, I don't look like a businessman at all. I'm just passing by. I have nothing in my car and no money on me. I really have nothing to give you."
He rummaged through his pockets, only to find them completely empty – apart from the purple-gold card worth one million gold coins that Su Yuewan had given him, he hadn't brought a single penny with him this time.
There really wasn't a single drop.
But this was clearly not something the two robbers would believe.
"Nonsense! We received the news a long time ago... Your carriage has... pills worth a million gold coins!" the left-eyepatch stammered.
Bai Hao's expression immediately turned serious, and he asked in a low voice:
"How did you find out? Who are you? Are you from the Pill Sect or something else?"
How did they know that the carriage was carrying elixirs worth a million gold coins?
Not many people probably know about this, except for him, Su Yuewan, and the Danzong sect.
Could it be that the people from the Pill Sect are trying to cheat us out of our money and then take the pills back?
I never expected the Pill Sect would do something like this!
The right eyepatch realized that the left eyepatch had let something slip and immediately hissed in a low voice, "Shut up!"
Upon being yelled at, the person with the left eye patch immediately lowered their head, like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to argue back.
"Enough with the nonsense, I'm not telling you. If you're not going to leave your things behind, then leave your life behind too!"
He drew his broadsword from his right eyepatch, stomped his foot hard, and leaped high into the air, slashing at Bai Hao with a decisive and unwavering strike!
At this moment, Bai Hao had completely lost his sense of humor. His expression was serious as he watched the knife slash down on his right eyepatch. He neither dodged nor flinched, but instead met the attack head-on.
“Bang!
Catch the knife with bare hands!
Bai Hao caught the knife through the right eyepatch with both palms, and then with just a slight exertion of force, the broadsword snapped in two with a clang.
Right Eyepatch was startled and decisively stepped back. He glanced at the half-destroyed broadsword and was extremely surprised.
He never expected Bai Hao to be so strong!
"Who are you? Who are you under orders? Tell me and I'll spare your lives!" Bai Hao's gaze gradually turned cold.
This time it was Bai Hao's turn to threaten them.
These two were merely at the Breakthrough Stage, barely considered decent in a first-rate sect, but not a threat to Bai Hao at all.
But the key question is who the forces behind them are!
"Hmph, don't even think we'll tell you!" The right-eyepatch sneered, his expression icy, holding the short knife in his hand. Without any hesitation, he and the left-eyepatch turned and left.
"Want to leave? It's too late!"
Now it's not them trying to rob Bai Hao, but Bai Hao trying to rob them!
With a cold snort, Bai Hao flashed and appeared directly in front of the two men. With a wave of his hand, a powerful force sent the two flying backward, crashing heavily into a nearby tree and breaking them in half.
"cough!"
Both of them let out a muffled groan and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"You can't just leave now. You're not leaving today unless you explain yourself clearly." He looked down at the two men, determined to get to the bottom of things.
"You think you can make us talk? You're dreaming!" The person with the right eyepatch said resolutely, seeing that the situation was not good. Suddenly, their expression turned strange, and they seemed to be biting something in their mouth.
By the time Bai Hao realized what was happening and the ghost grabbed his right eyepatch and pinched his mouth shut, it was too late. A trickle of black blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were lifeless; he had clearly lost the will to live.
"This guy actually hid poison in his mouth, that's ruthless," Bai Hao said helplessly.
He hadn't expected these two people to be so professional, and that they could so decisively commit suicide by poison after failing, leaving him completely bewildered.
"It seems so... huh?"
Bai Hao turned his head and realized that the person with the left eye patch next to him didn't seem to have taken the poison and was still staring at him with their eyes open.
He didn't take the poison? Or has the poison not taken effect yet?
Regardless of which one it was, Bai Hao grabbed his mouth and threatened him fiercely, "Tell me now, who sent you!"
"Ouch... I... I didn't take poison... You... let me go and I'll tell you!" the left-eyepatch stammered.
