The carriage traveled smoothly on the road, but there were always many people secretly watching from both sides.
Ye Yi knew these people were after him, because Li Yuanhuai was already under Li Wenshu's protection. To attack Li Yuanhuai at this time would be insane.
But Ye Yi is different. Ye Yi possesses a token that is something that can fascinate many people in this world.
That was the relic of the Jade Emperor. Although the Jade Emperor had not been around for long, the allure of the Jade Emperor to these people was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. That's why all these people ignored Li Wenshu's threats and still refused to give up.
Having understood all this, a strange smile crept onto Ye Yi's lips. He wanted to make the world even more chaotic, and the token in his hand could intensify the struggles in this world.
"Elder, since you already have Minister Li Wenshu by your side, then I must take my leave." Ye Yi stood up and said to Li Yuanhuai.
“It’s not safe for you to leave at this time. Why don’t you come with me to Jiangnan first and stay for a few more days? That way, there will be fewer people spying on us.” Li Yuanhuai couldn’t help but advise him.
Clearly, he also knew that Ye Yi would face many dangers if he went out at this time.
However, Ye Yi declined Li Yuanhuai's offer, saying softly.
"Elder, it is only in our best interest that I leave. If I stay with you for too long, I am afraid even Li Wenshu might not be able to protect us."
Although the words were spoken softly, everyone present possessed martial arts skills, so Li Wenshu, who was driving the vehicle, immediately let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction.
"Don't worry, kid. If the Supreme One comes and wants to take you two, he'll have to get past my eighteen-foot spear first."
Ye Yi's words clearly displeased Li Wenshu, because there were very few people in the world who could defeat him.
Instead, Li Yuanhuai looked at Ye Yi with a serious expression. He stared intently into Ye Yi's eyes for a long time before letting out a long sigh and speaking.
"In that case, you should leave now. If you ever find yourself with nowhere to go, you are welcome to come and find me in Jiangnan."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir." Ye Yi then stood up and bowed to Li Yuanhuai.
The carriage on the road slowly came to a stop. Ye Yi pulled up the carriage curtain and got out of the carriage. As he got out, he cupped his hands in greeting to Li Wenshu, but Li Wenshu turned his head away with a cold snort and continued to drive the carriage away.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Yi got off the carriage, the people who had been watching it vanished instantly.
The carriage had been traveling on the road for quite a while before Li Wenshu finally spoke and asked.
"Old sir, that kid's tone was too arrogant. There is no one in this world that I, Li Wenshu, cannot stop. Even if the five supreme beings came, I could still learn a thing or two from them."
"Shuwen, I've lived for so long, but I truly can't see through this young friend. So I don't know if what he says is true or false. Also, this young friend brought news that the Haotian Ruler is dead." Li Yuanhuai hesitated for a moment before speaking to Li Shuwen.
As expected, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Wenshu's eyes after hearing Li Yuanhuai's words.
"Yes, I understand. But the fact that this kid has been able to escort you so diligently for so long shows that he is indeed a good person."
As the two were chatting, Li Wenshu felt a chill run down his spine because he sensed a very dangerous person.
"There's a master here, which gives me a very frightening feeling," Li Wenshu said in a low voice, his hand tightly gripping the long spear beside him, because only in this way could he give himself a sense of security.
"This is troublesome. They really went all out to kill this old man. They even brought out such a master. Can you tell who it is?" Li Yuanhuai exclaimed in surprise.
"I don't know, the aura is terrifying, my hands are actually shaking." Li Wenshu said as if he had used all his strength.
Li Yuanhuai remained silent in the carriage, for he had not expected that someone would actually bring out such a powerful expert.
Finally, two people appeared ahead of the road, one thin and the other strong.
Of course, if Ye Yi knew these two people, he would definitely be surprised and say: Aren't these the two bodyguards who are with Ye Yi?
That's right, both of these people were created by Ye Yi using his administrator privileges, just to give Li Wenshu, this powerful individual, the motivation to improve.
The two slowly walked to the front of the carriage, their gazes coldly fixed on the carriage and Li Wenshu.
One of the thinner people said.
"I couldn't sense that kid, nor did I detect the aura of the token."
Under the cold gazes of the two men, Li Wenshu felt as if two weapons were pointed at his neck, so he dared not make any rash moves for a moment.
The two men completely disregarded Li Wenshu, who felt extremely humiliated, but he was unable to move at all.
This was a great humiliation for Li Wenshu, who considered himself a prodigy.
“I’m sure there isn’t. There’s only an old man and this kid playing with a gun in the carriage.” The thin man looked around.
Li Yuanhuai and Li Wenshu didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Actually, it's not the two people's fault. Ye Yi activated the oppression of the world for these two people. You have to understand that no matter how powerful an individual is, they can't compare to the power of a world.
That's why the two of them were overwhelmed and couldn't breathe.
"What should we do with these two?" the gaunt man asked after a long while.
"Let's just go. It'll be troublesome if those people target us," the burly man said.
Upon hearing their words, Li Wenshu and Li Yuanhuai's pupils constricted sharply, as if they had overheard a secret.
"I won't kill them, after all, these two have some connection with that kid," the thin man said with some dissatisfaction.
“I don’t care if I kill the guy with the gun, but I can’t kill that old man. The token was on him,” the burly man said.
Sure enough, after the strong man finished speaking, the thin man gave a dry laugh and said...
"Uh, never mind. I don't want to be resented."
After saying that, he glanced at the two of them and said...
"Hey, remember I didn't lay a hand on you."
"Enough talk, let's go. We have a lot of things to do." The strong man quickly left.
Then the gaunt man hesitated for a moment, as if he had inadvertently dropped something, then looked at Li Wenshu deeply before turning and leaving.
Finally, after the two had been gone for a long time, Li Wenshu and the other person felt that they could speak again.
"I thought I was going to die here this time," Li Yuanhuai said dryly.
However, Li Wenshu did not respond this time; his eyes were filled with resentment and anger.
"Forget it, these two are no ordinary people, they're not people you or I can afford to offend," Li Yuanhuai said, seeing Li Wenshu's hesitation.
"I understand," Li Wenshu said, holding his breath.
"Hmm, it seems they left something behind," Li Yuanhuai said, pointing to a black box on the ground.
Following Li Yuanhuai's pointing, Li Wenshu got off the carriage and immediately took it.
At the same time, Li Wenshu gripped his weapon, a long spear, tightly in his hand, as if only in this way could he feel safe.
Li Wenshu picked up the black box and immediately opened it.
The moment they opened it, a chill ran down their spines.
Li Yuanhuai immediately asked.
What is this?
“A martial arts intent.” Li Wenshu’s mouth was a little dry, because a martial arts intent is a rare treasure that is hard to come by, and for a martial artist like Li Wenshu, it is something he dreams of.
"Did they drop it?" Li Yuanhuai asked in confusion.
“That man deliberately left it for me,” Li Wenshu said dryly.
"What do you mean?" Li Yuanhuai was still very confused.
Li Wenshu, holding the black box, climbed back onto the carriage and said.
"There is a martial arts concept of spear fighting in this black box. Before the man left, he gave me a deep look, which should be what he meant."
Li Yuanhuai fell silent during this discussion, because such powerful people had casually given away such a precious item, clearly indicating that their backgrounds were not simple.
Even someone like Li Yuanhuai, who doesn't practice martial arts much, knows the value of a martial arts concept.
So he immediately realized that what Ye Yi had said earlier was true.
The carriage moved slowly along, and both of them remained silent, astonished that the world was hiding such a great secret.
After all, these two experts could not possibly be unknown figures. In fact, Li Wenshu himself felt that even the Five Supreme Beings were not as powerful as them. Therefore, Li Wenshu remained silent for his own ignorance.
Li Yuanhuai, however, began to ponder the impact of these two individuals' appearance and whether it would have any drastic effect on the Xia Kingdom.
At that moment, Ye Yi, who was walking on the road, had a satisfied smile on his lips because he had successfully coaxed the two people.
Moreover, the cost was very small, yet a secret but powerful force was successfully created. Therefore, in Ye Yi's eyes, this operation was perfect.
However, Ye Yi's smiling face quickly froze, and his eyes flashed with countless cold lights.
Because two martial artists who had just reached the supernatural realm appeared before him.
Such strength wasn't considered formidable, but it wasn't weak either. However, Ye Yi knew perfectly well that these two people were actually there to test him. After all, these two were truly quite ordinary.
"My brother and I have offended you greatly, please forgive us, sir," the two men said softly. Their eyes were full of smiles, as if Ye Yi was already theirs for the taking.
"Do you know what you're looking for?" Ye Yi glanced around and then said softly.
"Hehe, we brothers know exactly what we want—a silver token. Please hand it over, sir," the two men said arrogantly.
"Hahahaha, you two still don't know! Do you even know what this token is? It's a token of the Haotian Sovereign's legacy! Only with this token can one have a chance to obtain the Haotian Sovereign's inheritance!" Ye Yi said arrogantly, picking up the token.
As expected, upon hearing Ye Yi's words, countless heavy breathing sounds filled the air, and the two people in front of him revealed even more crazed expressions.
"Hand over the stuff, and we two brothers will leave you a whole corpse," one of them said crazedly, his eyes filled with undisguised fanaticism.
Ye Yi slowly took out a silver token from his pocket, waved it in front of everyone, and said.
"It's right here. Come and take it if you dare."
After saying that, he coldly looked at the two cannon fodder in front of him.
The two men rushed forward instantly, trying to snatch the token from Ye Yi's hand.
The two had only taken a few steps when they stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide open.
Ye Yi frowned slightly, because the two people in front of him were already dead. They had only taken a few steps before being killed, and he hadn't even felt it at the moment of their deaths.
"Little guy, how about giving me the token in your hand? I promise I'll make sure you die a comfortable death." A seductive voice appeared in Ye Yi's ear.
Ye Yi immediately realized that the owner of the voice had made a move.
A woman dressed in a white, misty cloud-like robe, exuding an alluring charm, came into Ye Yi's view.
"Alright, as long as my sister can take it, then I will definitely offer it to her with both hands." Ye Yi chuckled, but his eyes betrayed his disdain.
"Okay, then I'll get it right away. Little brother, don't move around, or it will hurt." The woman said seductively.
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot and suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yi, reaching out to take the token.
Ye Yi didn't even blink at any of this.
Suddenly, the sound of a sharp sword slicing through the sky rang out.
"Witch, this token is not something you evil spirits can obtain. Surrender now. Don't worry, young friend, I will protect the token in your hands."
A righteous voice spoke out, and at the same time, a sword wound appeared on the woman's body.
Ye Yi did not turn his head, but he knew that a swordsman full of righteousness had appeared behind him.
Although the swordsman was very righteous, Ye Yi knew that the swordsman must have his eye on the token in his hand.
Ye Yi sensed a greedy gaze behind him.
"Well done, old swordsman! Don't you know how to cherish women? And don't be so blatant. Nobody here is a good person." The woman, having taken a sword strike, hurriedly retreated, spewing insults as her eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
"Young friend, are you alright? Don't worry, I will definitely protect you. I guarantee it with the name of Gentleman's Sword." Ignoring the woman's words, a gentlemanly man appeared beside Ye Yi, holding a sword in his hand, with traces of blood still dripping from it.
"Thank you so much, brother," Ye Yi said softly, his eyes narrowed.
"Hehe, no need to be polite. Young friend, you should be careful with such a valuable treasure. Otherwise, let me keep it safe for you." As he spoke, the gentleman swordsman's eyes revealed an undisguised greed.
"Hehe, alright. If you're willing, brother, then this is for you." Ye Yi smiled and prepared to hand over the token in his hand.
He seemed to completely believe that Gentleman Sword was a good person.
"Hey kid, you believe this hypocrite? Why don't you give it to me? I can give it to you for a night of pleasure." The enchantress beside her immediately spoke up, her words full of disdain for the Gentleman's Sword.
