C1331 Going to the Imperial Capital
"The three of you have heard that we are going to the Imperial Capital. What a coincidence. We are also going to the Imperial Capital. If it's convenient for you, I would like to invite you all to travel together." A bald man stood in front of Chu Tian and said.
The latter's strength was at the Void Ocean Realm. His strength was not a threat to Chu Tian. This kind of strength was already considered pretty good. In this Wu City, he was considered one of the best.
"Then what's actually going on?" Chu Tian said in a flat tone. There was no free lunch in this world. He was afraid that the other party would only invite them for a certain purpose.
"In fact, we just accepted the request of the caravan. I think you know how difficult the journey was. There might be a threat from the Demon Beast. It's impossible for ordinary people to travel such a long distance. If the three of you are willing, we will share the rewards. What do you think? " The bald man said.
His eyes only looked at Chu Tian, he was afraid that if his gaze fell on the two girls, it would cause Chu Tian to be unhappy.
The other side seemed to have a very strong hostility, but he was still a normal person. Chu Tian nodded, if there was someone leading the way, it would be good for them.
"Reward?" Chu Tiandao.
The bald man was quite happy to hear that Chu Tian was interested.
"The other party offered a reward of 100,000 Spirit Stone. I still have three companions here. Considering that this mission was accepted by us, we can only give each of you 10,000 Spirit Stone. I wonder what do you all think? " The bald man said.
A Void Sea Realm warrior was only worth a few tens of thousands of spirit stones. The cultivators in the outside world really lacked cultivation resources. But to Chu Tian and the others, the Spirit Stone didn't care. What they were interested in was just the other party leading the way.
The map Ann Fu gave them could only be used to leave the forest. It wasn't that he didn't want to give Chu Tian a map of the outside world. It was because time had changed. Ann Fu had already forgotten the details of the terrain. Therefore, he could not give the map to Chu Tian.
"We agree. Lead the way." Chu Tian said.
Hearing this, the bald man's face revealed a look of great joy. "That's great. Then I'll ask the three of you to guide me. My name is Huo Zheng."
Chu Tian stretched out his hand and shook hands with the bald man. Then, under the lead of the bald man, Chu Tian and the others came to a caravan. The caravan was indeed not small. It was a large caravan with a few thousand people. No wonder the other party was so generous. They were offering a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
As for the guards, there were only seven of them. Of course, the caravan also had their own guards. However, they were merely ordinary people. If that was the case, the guards wouldn't be of much use in a truly dangerous situation.
"Boss Huo Zheng, why did you only come back now? The boss of the caravan has already urged us to leave a few times. He wants us to leave as soon as possible." A man came up to Huo Zheng and complained.
"Humph, what a bunch of ignorant people. How can this journey be so easy? Fortunately, I have invited three experts. With their help, this journey will be much safer." Huo Zheng said.
After hearing the words of his boss, the man looked at Chu Tian and the others. The latter was first shocked by Chu Yunxue and Kong Ling's beauty, but soon he sensed their Qi. He immediately lowered his head, not daring to offend them any further.
In this world of cultivators, the strong preyed on the weak and was killed because of the slight displeasure of the strong. This kind of thing was not a joke and it was not uncommon, so he did not dare to ask any more questions.
"The three of you, I will ask the boss of this merchant group to arrange a place for you to stay, so please rest assured." Huo Zheng said.
Chu Tian nodded. It was good to have a good place to stay. After that, Huo Zheng left quickly. He must have gone to talk to the owner of this caravan.
As for Huo Zheng's little brother, he stayed far away from Chu Tian and the others. There were two men not far away from them. It seemed like they were Huo Zheng's three brothers. These three men weren't weak either, they were at the peak of the Wisdom Sea.
"Chu Lang, it seems like the training conditions in the outside world are even more harsh than those in Jiuzhou." Chu Yunxue sighed helplessly.
"I'm afraid this is also because the group of cultivators is too large. Of course, it's a good thing that the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth is dense. But at the same time, it will also cause some problems. There are too many cultivators. Even if the world is vast, it can't support such a large group of cultivators. " Chu Tian helplessly sighed.
After seeing Wu City, Chu Tian had a rough understanding of the outside world of cultivators. Moreover, the outside world adhered to the law of the jungle.
Huo Zheng's people were so obedient because they wanted to avoid angering Chu Tian and the others as much as possible. Therefore, they didn't take the initiative to get in touch with them. This was their way of dealing with this situation.
Not long after, Huo Zheng returned with a smile on his face. It seemed like he had a good discussion with the boss of the merchant association.
"Three of you, I have gotten the boss's permission. He has decided to provide you with a carriage." Huo Zheng said.
"Thank you." Chu Tian said.
"That's what I should do. Don't worry, if it's an ordinary enemy, you don't have to do anything." Huo Zheng said.
After that, Chu Tian and the others boarded a carriage. It wasn't very spacious. However, it was enough for Chu Tian and the other two. As for Huo Zheng and the others, they did not ride in the same carriage. They were guarding the carriage from the outside. If there were any signs of movement, only then could they react as quickly as possible.
"Big brother, those two girls are really beautiful. This is the first time I've seen a beauty with this kind of temperament" One of Huo Zheng's companions said.
"Lower your voice. If they hear you, it will be troublesome. The three of them are the Great Buddhas we invited. If something really happens... With the three of them, it would be easier to deal with them. Furthermore, they were willing to accept the reward of ten thousand Spirit Stones. This is absolutely a great fortune. If you offend them... Don't blame me for not treating you as a brother when the time comes. " Huo Zheng said.
Hearing this, the man who had just spoken immediately covered his mouth.
"However, big brother, aren't you being too cautious? Even though it's the Dao Emperor's path... It was indeed a very long journey, and they needed to pass through some places where Demon Beast could be found. However, the Demon Beast along the way wasn't very powerful. There's no need to be so cautious." Another person said in a puzzled manner.
"It's naturally like this in the past, but I heard that something strange has happened next to Imperial recently. I hope I'm overthinking it. The money we've accumulated is almost enough. This time, we're actually just going to the capital along the way. It's not a big deal to earn a little less. " Huo Zheng said.
"Big brother is right. If that's the case, we'll just do what we did in peace. As long as we get to Imperial, we'll have a beautiful future."
Regarding Huo Zheng's decision, the other three people also chose to agree with it. They didn't say anything more. After that, the convoy steadily advanced towards the Imperial Capital bit by bit.
They had indeed encountered Demon Beast along the way, but those Demon Beast were no match for Huo Zheng and the others. They didn't bother Chu Tian and the others at all.
Although this was an ordinary merchant group, their speed was quite fast. Their carriages were all horses that could travel thousands of miles per day, so their speed was still passable.
But even with this speed, it would still take them two months to reach the capital. Chu Tian and the others had been staying in the carriage. There was no need for them to have any communication with the caravan. Huo Zheng would deal with the people of the merchant group on their behalf.
Therefore, Chu Tian and the others who stayed in the carriage entered into a state of cultivation. Under Chu Tian's full devouring, the Ice Soul Crystal was about to break into pieces.
All the water element energy had been devoured by Chu Tian. Chu Tian glanced at the crystal ball in his hand. Although he felt that it was a pity, there was nothing he could do about it.
