Chapter 411 Ch 411: Wild Intention
?Ling Xiaolong was following them in order to be sure that this caravan was not a trap to catch him. There was no other purpose.
So, he honestly replied, "I was afraid that you guys might be my enemies, so I did not dare to immediately approach. I quietly observed you for two hours and approached only when I was sure that you all were not my enemies. So I hope you can take me with you to the next city."
In fact, Ling Xiaolong could simply teleport again to go to the next city. It is just that he has no idea about the location of the next city and how far it is.
Even when he released his Divine Sense to cover an extremely huge area, all he could sense was forest and mountains. There was no sign of a city.
Ling Xiaolong stopped for a few seconds and then continued: "If you don't want to, I will not disturb you. I'll just follow behind the caravan until I reach the next city.
There was another reason Ling Xiaolong wanted to tag along. It was because the people chasing him likely believed he was alone. Even if they came across the caravan while searching for him, there was a high probability that they wouldn't suspect he was hiding there.
Moreover, now that he knew the caravan had many Masters of Chaos, staying with them could somewhat guarantee his safety for the time being.
"We can take you with us but you have to do something for us after reaching the city." The man said.
"If it's killing, I won't do it." Ling Xiaolong quickly waved his hand and stated clearly.
"Don't worry, we don't want you to kill people. We just want you to deliver a message to someone." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"That's good. I'll deliver a message for you to anyone." Ling Xiaolong said. It was not a loss for him to deliver a message in exchange for a few days of rest.
Just like that, Ling Xiaolong secured a seat in the caravan and started spending days with these people, eating, drinking, and resting with them.
In these few days, Ling Xiaolong got to know that this caravan had a total of eighteen people and not a single one of them was an ordinary person. Every one of them was a Master of Chaos.
Traveling with eighteen Masters of Chaos put a lot of pressure on Ling Xiaolong. Fortunately, they were not his enemies.
He was the lone Celestial Sovereign among the group of Masters of Chaos.
Ling Xiaolong also learned that these people were driving two big carts with unknown goods. In addition, there was a carriage with a 'significant individual' in it, which the scar-faced man was taking care of.
The scar-faced man had a rough appearance. He was the employer of these people seventeen Masters of Chaos. He looked very fierce.
From time to time, an old man's cough could be heard in the carriage. According to the scar-faced man, they were going to Red Mist City to meet an alchemist.
But who would bring seventeen Masters of Chaos to see an alchemist?
What's more, since the scar-faced man could hire them, he couldn't be an ordinary person. His status must be extraordinary. Ling Xiaolong just didn't know what was going on, and he had no right to ask.
Everyone treated Ling Xiaolong quite well. There was food and drink, and he didn't need to do anything. Occasionally, one or two people would chat with him when they had nothing to do.
The eighteen people looked very ordinary, hiding their cultivation with the help of a special skill, but Ling Xiaolong didn't dare to be careless.
Two more days later...
In the evening, the sun was setting, and red clouds appeared in the sky. Everyone stopped to rest.
For the past few days, the only thing that made Ling Xiaolong dissatisfied was that the caravan was too slow. The people chasing after him could catch up at any time, and if they somehow guessed that he might be hiding in the caravan, then big trouble would be waiting for him.
"Ling Boy, time to eat."
This was how he had been addressed during these few days by the Masters of Chaos protecting the caravan.
The bonfire was rising. The huge meat of a Chaos Beast on a hard bamboo stick had turned golden. The fat from the meat was falling on the bonfire in its liquid state, making a crackling sound.
As Celestial Sovereigns and Masters of Chaos, they do not need to consume food. Nevertheless, such an extravagant sight is sufficient to arouse hunger in anyone's body.
Ling Xiaolong was soon given his portion to eat.
The moment Ling Xiaolong brought the meat to his mouth, he frowned. The taste of this meat was undoubtedly extraordinary, but the thing that caught Ling Xiaolong's attention was the faint taste of a certain type of poison.
'These guys are trying to poison me!'
Ling Xiaolong immediately guessed their intention.
He showed no reaction, behaving as though he were relishing the food, continuing to eat. Simultaneously, he brought a small portion of meat into his chaos, employing the Rules to examine the type of poison and its effects.
Eventually, Ling Xiaolong discerned that the poison could make a warrior of his level fall unconscious for a few hours at most, but it wasn't inherently harmful.
However, the lingering question remained: why were they attempting to poison him in the first place?
Anyway, he could not be poisoned. One of his unique nine abilities was immunity from all poisons.
He wanted to know why these people were trying to poison him. Now that he knew the effect of the poison, he acted accordingly and fell to the ground.
The Masters of Chaos looked at him and one of them asked, "Has he fallen unconscious?"
Someone went to check and nodded, saying, "Yes!"
Very soon, they started talking about something that made Ling Xiaolong's hair stand.
It turned out that these people were bad people.
No, calling them bad people was an insult to bad people. They were simply demons. These people have already wiped out three small cities along the way. They were cultivating demonic cultivation techniques.
This time, their goal was to visit the Red Mist City and kidnap two siblings, a boy and a girl of high status. These two siblings are the children of Red Mist City's City Lord who is also a Master of Chaos.
They were discussing how to execute their plans.
At the same time, Ling Xiaolong found out that they also had plans for him. They were planning to use him to lure out the two siblings.
These two siblings have very special physiques and bloodlines. They wanted to make use of their body and every drop of their blood in order to obtain a very special body called the Demonic Sage Body.
After a few hours, Ling Xiaolong 'woke up' and acted as if he was surprised that he had actually fallen asleep. He did not let these people know that he had already heard everything they'd talked about before.
Ling Xiaolong absent-mindedly followed behind them.
A few days later, they were close to the Red Mist City. The previous peaceful atmosphere seemed to be a lot more tense. Ling Xiaolong did not have a chance to escape these days because as they approached closer to the Red Mist City, these Masters of Chaos started keeping a close eye on Ling Xiaolong.
For now, Ling Xiaolong was silently praying that the people chasing after him would catch up, but his wish did not come true.
"Through this canyon, we will reach the Red Mist City." The middle-aged man rarely explained to Ling Xiaolong.
The atmosphere was tense to the extreme. Everyone walked towards the canyon.
There were steep canyons on both sides of the valley, but they were very spacious. The canyon was deep and quiet. The breeze in the air was a little cold. Everyone walked very slowly and carefully. When they reached the center of the canyon, suddenly there was a trembling sound.
"Weng!"
The color of the sky changed. The space began to tremble and distort. Then, a sword light broke through the void and appeared. It carried a dense chill and boundless killing intent as it rushed towards the crowd.
"Be careful, it's an ambush." The middle-aged man shouted. His whole body was immediately covered in a bright light. Origin Energy surrounded his body and a powerful aura erupted. He raised his hand and attacked the sword light.
"Boom!"
There were a lot of sword lights. Killing intent filled the air. No one knew how they appeared, but once they appeared, they attacked the crowd with the intention to obliterate them.
"Peng! Peng! Peng!"
The three Masters of Chaos attacked one after another. Origin Energy violently surged, and terrifying attacks appeared one after another.
The whole space was trembling from the attacks, and the sound of weapons clashing filled the air.
