Chapter 904 - Heavenly Eagle Canyon

Chapter 904 - Heavenly Eagle Canyon

Long Chen saw them approaching their group. There were around ten bandits, which was common as far as group sizes went.

“Someone’s here.”

Long Chen waved his arm and gestured for the rest to stop. The other escorts trusted Long Chen, so they immediately prepared for a defensive battle.

“Why are you stopping? Move quickly!”

Luo Wei was on very friendly terms with Ji Yan at this point. He was in the middle of telling a joke to Ji Yan when she was distracted by Long Chen’s call to stop. Luo Wei got mad because he couldn’t make Ji Yan laugh, and he directed his anger towards Long Chen.

He was acting as if he was the employer of Long Chen and the others.

Everyone else was well aware that Luo Wei was trying to butter up Ji Yan in any way he could.

The rest of the escorts had long grown fed up with him, especially after he shouted at them just now.

Ah Dong, unable to hold his anger in, shouted back, “What are you shouting about? You don’t have the power to command us!”

Luo Wei scoffed. “Do you want to die? Come here and I will kill you.”

Ah Dong was about to shout back when Long Chen pulled him back. “Calm down. Those who deserve to die will die one day. Let’s just finish our mission for the sake of the Emperor Crystals. They are paying us to work for them after all, unlike some people, who only know how to bark out orders and flirt with girls.”

“Long Chen, what are you implying? Are you saying that I’m not putting in as much effort as you?”

Luo Wei's eyes were cold as he looked at Long Chen.

“Of course. Have you done anything throughout the journey? You’ve been eating and slacking while enjoying the fruits of another person’s labor. Who else but you has been doing that?”

Long Chen was trying to pull Luo Wei’s resentment onto himself. Ah Dong and the others were weaker, so Long Chen had to prevent Luo Wei from doing anything to them.

“Hmph!”

Right when Luo Wei was about to attack Long Chen, the bandits came out. There were three of them at the Sixth Heavenly Martial Stage.

“Look closely.” Luo Wei chuckled and attacked with his spear. In just a few moments, the bandits were dead. Even though they were already at the Sixth Heavenly Martial Stage, they had been killed in a single move.

“Think about how strong you are before you speak of others. Once I become an Underworld Soldier and have a suit of Underworld Armor, I will be able to kill as many of you as I want. Don’t provoke me. I’m not some magnanimous person.”

Luo Wei boasted and put his Divine Weapon away after showing off in front of the others.

Ah Dong and the rest were silent. They had to admit that Luo Wei was indeed strong and they couldn’t provoke him. But even so, they hated how boastful he was.

They could only bottle their resentment in their hearts.

But to Long Chen, this was only a minor incident. He was just glad that he had become the sole focus of Luo Wei’s resentment. If Luo Wei tried to do anything to him, Long Chen would show him a surprise.

“Luo Wei is disgusting.”

Late at night, Ji Yan told everyone to set up camp and rest. They had been traveling nonstop for twenty days at this point.

Long Chen had kept a low profile up until now because he wanted to find out what was wrong with Ji Yan and the others.

Considering his temper, he would’ve long killed Luo Wei for trying to bully them.

Long Chen was still trying to put the pieces together when the moans of a lady could be heard coming from the carriage. She wasn’t even attempting to hold back, so her moans could be heard from a distance. The voice likely belonged to Ji Yan’s master, and Luo Wei had just entered her carriage ...

Everyone knew what was going on. That was what Ji Yan meant when she said that her master had been paying special attention to Luo Wei,

The escorts felt even more frustrated when they heard the voices.

“Shit. Don’t let me find the chance to kill him!”

Day soon came and everyone continued their journey. Long Chen and the others were still at the front to deal with bandits, while Luo Wei was at the back.

This time, however, he was paying less attention to Ji Yan. He was beaming with joy and pleasure.

He was having the best time out of everyone. He didn’t have to fight during the day, and he would get lucky from time to time at night.

Even though Ah Dong and the others were escorts recruited temporarily and not their servants, they still had to follow the rules of their employer, especially since none of them knew how to get to Underworld City.

Because Luo Wei was now tied up with the master in the carriage, and he was strong to begin with, none of them dared to provoke him anymore.

Luo Wei was now directing all of his attention to the person in the carriage. There was nothing much to do except to bully the others from time to time. Their journey had been smooth; when stronger bandits showed up, the butler, Wei Zhou, would fight instead. Long Chen and the others didn’t have to risk their lives.

Two months passed in a flash.

“We will soon reach Heavenly Eagle Canyon. Once we pass through it, we will be able to see Underworld City. It’s tens of times larger than Scarlet Sun City. Since you guys have been performing well, I will pay you the Emperor Crystals once we reach Heavenly Eagle Canyon,” Ji Yan announced.

She then returned to her position.

“Heavenly Eagle Canyon ...”

Long Chen still hadn't figured out what was going on with Ji Yan and the others, but he had noticed something. Three days ago, he had spotted a group of people who had been following them and observing them. There were many strong cultivators amongst them.

It seems that they are here with a certain objective. They aren’t just regular bandits. If Ji Yan and the others have some kind of treasure on them, then it’s almost certain that the enemies are here for it. Heavenly Eagle Canyon is just in front of us, so I think they will ambush us there.

Despite noticing them, he told no one. He never really liked Ji Yan and the others, so he couldn’t care less.

But he did care about the escorts he had become friends with. He thought they were cute, so he warned them, “Everyone, Heavenly Eagle Canyon is just in front of us. I have a bad feeling, so if there’s any danger, remember to not risk your lives. Just run, it’s not worth dying here.”

“Long Chen...?” Everyone looked at each other with confusion.

Long Chen appeared to be telling the truth, but they still nodded out of confusion. They steeled themselves for what may come.

Long Chen relaxed a bit after seeing that they were quick to catch on.

Indeed, there was a large mountain in front of them. Heavenly Eagle Canyon appeared to have been carved out by a large blade.

Let me see what kind of mystery the owner of the carriage is holding on to.
