550: C550

C550

Night had already arrived without anyone noticing.

It had been fourteen hours since Ming Yu had boarded the carriage. The sun had long set and the sky had sunk into a deep, dark night. When he looked up, he could see stars filling the sky, stars surrounding the moon and silver lights shining down on the Silent Hills.

"Giddy up!"

A deep voice broke the silence in the forest. It was an armored soldier riding eight horses, galloping across the mountain road. The wind howled, and the carriage's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had covered a distance of one hundred meters, leaving behind marks on the tracks.

These eight stallions were king level five Vicious Beast. Although their attack power was not strong, they had an extremely fast speed and endurance. After being tamed, they were even able to travel for long distances, which was extremely common in Imperial Region.

Of course, the eight horses were more than suitable to be used as escorts for the servants.

This time, other than the soldiers who were riding the horses, there were four other soldiers who were also sitting on the side, each of them had the cultivation of Core Controlling Stage level 8, and since they were all born with Imperial Region, they had undergone professional training, so regardless of whether they were fighting or physique, they were all several times stronger than the servants behind them.

Mo Yue's fifty servants in the iron cage had no intention of running away.

There was no way for them to get rid of the five soldiers, let alone the fact that they were wearing handcuffs and handcuffs that limited their zhenqi, so it was simply nonsense.

Furthermore, they didn't even want to run away because ever since the soldier in front of them had told them about the circumstances of the Ji Clan this afternoon, there was no way to even mention how excited they were.

"Hey, how beautiful is that princess from Ji Clan? Why is she so beautiful like a fairy? "Hee hee …"

"It's better if you stop being so pretentious. It's not certain that you can serve me. Don't forget that there are still the other two young masters."

"So what? As long as we perform well enough, then maybe the princess of Ji Clan will really fall for us, haha …"

"Tsk tsk, that may not be so. Uncle, you seem to be close to sixty years old today. How could a beauty like you? Of course she would like a rather handsome man like me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm called 'old man' and 'strong man'. Moreover, young people don't have much experience. How could I have any experience?"

Everyone started talking at once, and as they finished, they burst into laughter.

"Shut your dog mouth." Suddenly, the soldier in front coldly turned his head and stared at everyone, and spoke word by word: "The descendants of Mutian City are all members of the imperial family, how can I allow you to be tainted like this? Remember, you are slaves, being able to carry a shoe for the imperial family is your greatest honor, if I hear you people criticize the imperial family, don't blame me for reporting on your masters, and let her cut out your tongues!"

Hearing this, everyone felt their legs go weak. They did not dare to hesitate at all. Those who had communicated with them before all knelt down with a 'putong' and kowtowed repeatedly. As the truth was revealed, the soldier coldly harrumphed and turned his head back.

For a while, the initially boisterous and noisy iron cage quieted down once again. Only the continuous sound of the hooves of the horses and the shaking of their bodies could be heard.

"Hey, master, master …"

Hu Xifeng moved closer and sat beside Ming Yu who was leaning against the edge of the iron cage. He cautiously asked: "Which royal family would you choose then? Which princess would it be?"

Listening to Hu Xifeng's words, Ming Yu didn't look at him. Instead, he crossed his legs and picked up a stalk of grass from the roadside with his mouth. He looked up at the silver sky outside the cage and shook his head without saying anything.

He was actually not very interested in the royalty that was mentioned by the masses today. His main purpose for going to the Barbarian Imperial Region was to find that mysterious man and take back his Ancient Jade. He did not care about anything else at all.

Seeing Ming Yu's indifference, Hu Xifeng immediately felt reassured. "Hehe, I knew Master wasn't the kind of person who forgets his ways when it comes to women. Master will choose Young Master to serve with me. We must be together."

"…"

Hu Xifeng's words gave Ming Yu goosebumps all over his body. He looked at Hu Xifeng coldly and said, "Sleep well."

Hu Xifeng nodded with a coy smile and laid down again. He finally became satisfied and prepared to sleep soundly.

Suddenly, the whole carriage shook and came to a sudden stop. Everyone in the cage started to move forward. Ming Yu was quick to react and grabbed onto the cage. He didn't fall down.

"What's going on?"

Ming Yu stood up and looked outside the cage. He noticed that the five soldiers in the carriage had stopped one by one.

Ming Yu frowned as he followed the soldier's gaze and looked into the distance. He noticed that in the middle of the mountain road, there was a bright long sword stuck in the middle of the road.

The silver moonlight penetrated through the shadow of the tree and shone on the long saber. One could see that the long saber was stained with dark red blood and was slowly flowing down.

There was no aura being emitted from the blade. It looked like an ordinary long blade, but as it cut across the middle of the road and reflected off the silver light, it seemed mysterious, even extremely strange!

This was because there was no such coincidence. The saber just happened to be in the middle of the road, obstructing everyone's path.

If this was not a coincidence, then this was definitely a warning!

It was a warning to all the soldiers to stop!

"Second brother, third brother, the two of you go down and take a look."

The leader of the soldiers said to the two men beside him with a vigilant look on his face.

The two of them looked at each other, unsheathed their long sabers, and began to channel all their Zhen Qi, carefully moving forward.

In the eyes of the crowd, this was basically an impossible feat, because they were escorting their servants in the name of the imperial family. Hijacking them was equivalent to becoming enemies with the imperial family, and they were definitely wanted by the Imperial Region.

These soldiers had been escorting their servants for two to three years, but this was also the first time they had seen someone abduct them.

If someone dared to forcefully block them, they would definitely use all their might. Although their strength was average in the Barbarian Imperial Region, they were still considered absolute experts in this wilderness, not to mention the five of them working together. Even if the bandit leader was arrogant, he would still not be able to do anything to them!

And at that very instant, the hairs on the people within the iron cage were all standing on end.

In the middle of the night, in a desolate place, everyone felt the same way.

Only Ming Yu was left. He slowly stood beside the iron cage and slightly squinted his eyes. He could feel an extremely terrifying power crazily spreading towards him.

It was as if he was descending from the heavens.

That was … The power of the stars!

"Rumble …"

Suddenly, a surge of overwhelming energy came crashing down. The grass in the forest did not make any unusual movements, nor did it make any rustling sounds, but only when one looked carefully would one see that the swaying grass and trees were all frozen in place. The wind had stopped, and the entire space had sunk into an absolute suppression.

Silver energy spread out, completely merging with the moonlight and starlight, enveloping the entire area and suppressing everyone within.

Whether it was the five soldiers in front or the martial artists in the iron cage, all of them felt a heavy pressure on their heads. Whether it was the five soldiers in front of them or the martial artists in the iron cage, all of them felt a heavy pressure on their heads.

It was pressure.

Just the pressure itself had caused several people to faint. They simply had no chance to resist.

Even Peak Expert, who was at the ninth level of the Core Controlling Stage, would not be able to create such a pressure, because Power of Star were already activated within the realm, and only Star Swallowing Stage experts would be able to create such a commotion.

It was similar to the Four Major Sects in the World of Dynasties, where they were simply unable to mobilize such a powerful force from the Power of Star.

At that moment, all the information rushed into Ming Yu's mind. He could already determine who had come. He slowly walked to the back of the cage, looked at the deep road far away and said to the air, "Since you're here, why are you still hiding."

Right after he finished speaking, a silver light flashed on the road behind the carriage. A middle-aged man wearing a steel helmet appeared in front of Ming Yu.

He walked towards Ming Yu step by step, and as he walked, he gave a round of applause, "I, Lu Xiao, have galloped for so many years in the martial arts world, and I was indeed not mistaken. To be able to remain calm under the pressure of the peak of the first stage of my Star Swallowing Stage, and to remain so calm and composed, I am indeed a talented youth.

Lu Xiao's laughter was very low. In the low voice, there was appreciation, but there was also killing intent and the calmness to control everything!

"Senior is indeed worthy of being the captain of a ship. Although you clearly have great prestige, you were able to calm your mind and didn't make a move on me while we were on the ship. You were even able to patiently endure until now before revealing your true colors in the wilderness and preparing to start a massacre."

As Ming Yu spoke, he activated his Divine Lake and retrieved the key from the chest of the unconscious soldier in front of him. He opened the bracelet on his wrist and finally opened the iron cage's lock door and walked out.2

In fact, Ming Yu had already expected that the captain of the Black Ship would come, and he had actually been waiting for it. The deeper it got into the night, the more clear-headed Ming Yu became, because he knew that this was the best time for the captain to appear.

And sure enough, the captain named Lu Xiao was standing right in front of him!

"Kid, it seems that you have already calculated this."

Lu Xiao was slightly surprised. He slowly took off the helmet on his head. Under the moonlight, the resolute side of his face was reflected in Ming Yu's eyes. What made Ming Yu surprised was Lu Xiao's pair of eyes that were as deep as the sea of stars.

It was an extraordinary ethereal aura that could not be felt from Expert of Core Controlling Stage.

And that aura came from the stars.

"But so what if it is." Suddenly, Lu Xiao changed the topic, and said indifferently: "To be able to kill the leader of my Black Ship and thirteen of its subordinates by yourself, you do indeed have some capital, but in front of me, your capital, is not your trump card for preserving your life, but is immediately going to belong to me."

As he spoke, Lu Xiao's entire body flashed with silver radiance. He suddenly waved his right hand in the air, and at that moment, the snow-white long blade that was previously stuck in the front of the carriage suddenly shot back and pierced towards Ming Yu's back.

Ming Yu's reaction was extremely fast. With the tip of his feet touching the ground, he dodged to the side, barely dodging Lu Xiao's attack.

He saw the long sword flip in mid-air, and the handle was instantly grasped by Lu Xiao once again!

The blood on the saber instantly evaporated into thin air. As the silver light spread, the saber blade shined brightly and there were actually lines running across it. The sharp edge of the saber was so sharp that it seemed like it could cut through the air!

How was that a normal blade? The ordinary looking long blade from before was not its original appearance. Only with the support of Lu Xiao's Power of Star could one see its true face.

It was obviously a godly weapon!
