The World Of Swords

Chapter 28

Standing in front of the Wu family gate, Di Hongtian looked back with a long sigh, then turned and strode away.

In the world of martial arts, countless sects were searching for his whereabouts. It was very clear to him that once he stepped out of the Wu family and appeared in the world of martial arts once more, he would inevitably be entangled in fierce fighting.

Clatter. . . Clatter. . .

Out of the Jianzhonglin Clan, a red horse slowly trotted ahead and stopped in front of him.

Looking at the horse’s rider, Di Hongtian was suddenly dumbfounded.

“Meier. . . ”

On horseback, the girl in the green dress turned her head to one side.

Bitterness immediately appeared on Di Hongtian’s face.

Although he told the Wu family that he would leave for some time, he did not tell them the specific time of his departure. However, Wu Meier unexpectedly followed up and stood in front of him as if she had already known his intention.

"Meier, it’s too dangerous this time. I might not even be able to protect myself, let alone a.s.sure your safety. So, you can’t follow me this time," he said seriously.

"I just want to go out and walk around. What makes you think I intend to follow you?" Wu Meier murmured.

"Meier!" Di Hongtian raised his eyebrows and then clenched his teeth, saying, "If you aren’t obedient, I’ll have no choice but to send you back."

"Fifth Brother, what’s next, you want to hit me?" Wu Meier"s eyes widened and immediately grew red. She said in a sad voice, "Grandpa just pa.s.sed away and now you want to bully me?”

"Mei, Meier. . . " Di Hongtian was confounded and didn’t know what to say. “You, you . . . "

He shook his head and couldn"t understand why because she was completely different from before.

Wu Meier was gentle and sensible. How could she use such a shameless tactic?

"I’m just going to look for the Lingyu fruit this time, so there’s no need to make a big fuss. If I keep a low profile and stick to obscure places, I will certainly face less trouble. . ." Di Hongtian carefully thought about all the possibilities. "To completely hide my whereabouts, I must know the movements of all the forces in the world of martial arts. At least, I must be self-centered enough to know the situation within a radius of tens of miles."

Seeing he was silent, Wu Meier felt very anxious. She seemed quite calm, but she was very upset indeed, and worried Di Hongtian would send her back recklessly.

She wanted to stay with Di Hongtian and have knowledge about whatever he was up to instead of worrying about him at home.

With her heart tightening, she watched the small changes on Di Hongtian’s face.

"Well. . ." Di Hongtian took a long breath and looked up at her. He suddenly became nervous.

"Okay!" He shook his head and said, "You should always obey my orders while we’re away from home."

"No problem. I will absolutely obey you and do whatever you ask me to do. . . ” Wu Meier was very excited. With these words, she realized what she said was improper and her face suddenly flushed.

Di Hongtian sighed helplessly and headed forward. Wu Meier urged her red horse to follow him closely.

Once out of Jianzhonglin, they headed directly for the nearest small town. He handed the Sword Zhongfeng to Wu Meier and entered the town alone. Wu Meier wanted to follow him, but was stopped by him due to his prerequisites.

Wu Meier was annoyed, but she had no choice but to stay out of the town, worrying that he would leave her alone.

Di Hongtian did not make her wait too long. Within half an hour he came back, which brought her great relief.

Di Hongtian walked to the side with the sword on his shoulder while Wu Meier rode on her horse close behind. Together, they headed to the route to Mohe County.

The location marked on the map by the Wu family ancestor was directly located inside Mohe County.

Their speed was naturally much slower than that of Di Hongtian alone. Moreover, the two of them changed their directions from time to time, which also greatly slowed them down.

Since they had set out, a black eagle constantly hovered overhead. Gradually, Wu Meier realized that every time Di Hongtian detoured, it seemed to be guided by the eagle.

They avoided the town and chose to halt their journey in the night and start walking again at dawn. In the wilderness, they hadn’t met a single person from the world of martial arts.

"Is someone guiding us?” Wu Meier gradually asked for confirmation.

However, Di Hongtian did not say anything, so she did not ask again.

After ten days of walking, they had not encountered any problems. The eagle above them didn’t leave until they entered Fengrong Mountain.

Fengrong Mountain was full of weathered caves. When the breeze blew through, the sounds of swallows echoed here and there.

The mountain spanned a hundred miles, and the entire mountain range seemed to be hollow due to its countless caves.

Snap!

When Di Hongtian stepped down, a colorful insect suddenly burst underfoot. He could not help but frown slightly and looked up into the vast mountains. He seemed to be more nervous.

"The mountain is so complicated that it’s easy to get lost. Moreover, the Lingyu fruit was discovered decades ago. After so many years, still n.o.body knows where it is. . . "

Looking at the strange terrain of Fengrong Mountain, Wu Meier felt quite interested.

"Meier, this mountain is rugged and is home to countless poisonous insects. We can"t continue on horseback," Di Hongtian said softly, shaking his head.

"Okay, no problem, don’t worry!" Wu Meier did not care and quickly turned to dismount, then unpacked her luggage from the horse.

Looking at the luggage piled up as tall as half a person, Di Hongtian could not help but shake his head and smile again, then reached out to pick up the luggage.

"Let’s go!"

They both slowed down once again and headed for the depths of the mountain.

At the moment when Di Hongtian stepped on the insect and killed it, one of the two sitting figures in a dimly lit cave opened his eyes.

The man next to him noticed and also opened his eyes, and asked, "Have you already found a trace of that villain?”

But the man shook his head and said, "Elder Brother, someone has intruded again."

"From which direction?" The other man was suddenly alert.

“Xiangong Town!”

He took out another colorful insect from his chest and placed it between his eyebrows. The two tongs of the insect stabbed into his flesh and smacked his face violently. Very soon, his eyes suddenly became dark and reflected light in the darkness.

"A young man and woman who are less than twenty years old. They should not have very strong cultivation and they are less than thirty miles away from us," the man mumbled as he stared straightly at the blank sky in front of him.

"Less than twenty years old?" Another person suddenly gave a sigh of relief and grabbed the weird weapon placed beside him, then stood up and said, "Although it’s less probable, we must be alert. We should not let anyone know of our cultivation here."

"Yeah!" The first man grabbed the insect between his eyebrows and said, "The magic blood martial art we’re cultivating here will release a unique breath, which is easily felt by anyone within three miles of us. If they both have entered the mountain, they will most probably find us. So, we’d better not stay here any longer."

"Once the martial art has been discovered by the nine national clans, they will probably try to meddle, so the secret must not be disclosed." Another person nodded, and then said, "Well, let’s kill them first."
