In a massive canyon, a team was slowly progressing.
"Everyone be careful, once we pass through this valley, we’ll be entering the Gale Plain.
The Gale Plain is perpetually windy all year round.
In the sky above, the Celestial Gale rages, making it difficult even for those in the Golden Core Realm to fly, forcing them to travel on foot.
In the Gale Plain, Wind Beasts and sand thieves frequently appear.
If we encounter Wind Beasts or sand thieves, please stand together against the enemy, and don’t panic or run around.
Otherwise, should any unexpected event occur, our Transportation rchant will not provide additional rescue assistance."
As they were about to exit the canyon, a burly Great Han mounted on a Spirit Horse with red scale armor, clad in armor, shouted loudly.
After instructing them, he approached a carriage and politely said:
"If any unexpected situations arise after entering the Gale Plain, according to our previous agreent, please lend a hand."
"Naturally, it’s rare that Commander Wang allows us to follow along, we will certainly look out for each other."
In the carriage, an elder with two children, a boy and a girl of seven or eight years old, smiled and said.
"Thank you for your trouble, everyone."
After receiving the elder’s affirmative reply, the armored Great Han returned reassuringly to his original position.
He agreed to let those people follow the rchant team mainly because of their cultivation.
Even though they’ve traveled the Gale Plain many tis, they couldn’t guarantee absolute safety.
Having a few more experts could provide extra security.
"This fellow is really crafty, trying to have us serve as guards without offering any rewards."
After the armored Great Han left, a skinny youth in the carriage snorted coldly.
"Since we are all traveling together, let’s not fuss over it." The elder advised, "It’s heard that the sand thieves in the Gale Plain have grown more rampant recently.
If we travel alone, we might encounter considerable danger. Now that everyone is looking out for each other, we can be safer."
"Hmph, Old Qiao, I’ve made it clear, you were the one who agreed to help, not !
If anything goes wrong, I won’t waste my energy helping these weaklings.
I’ll leave on my own; I just refuse to believe that the Gale Plain is that terrifying!"
The skinny youth said coldly.
The elder, addressed as Old Qiao, opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say for a mont.
He glanced at the remaining people, noticing they seed indifferent, and could only sigh.
Clutching the two timid children beside him, he grew sowhat worried.
For so reason, he had a feeling that sothing unsettling might soon occur.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but glance toward the corner of the carriage, where an ordinary-looking youth sat holding a grey raccoon.
Although this youth appeared unremarkable, his cultivation was only at the Low Grade Golden Core First Turn level.
But sohow, he felt there was sothing unusual about him.
The primary reason was probably a few days ago when their team was suddenly attacked by a Golden Core Middle Realm Fifth Turn Demon Beast, causing quite a few casualties.
Even the people in their carriage were deeply intimidated by the Demon Beast.
However, inadvertently, the elder saw this youth with a face of panic but a tranquility deep in his eyes.
Since then, he felt that this young man was sowhat extraordinary.
However, the Demon Beast was resolved by the people from the Transportation rchant, leaving them no chance to act.
Moreover, in the days that followed, despite his secret observations, he couldn’t find any clues.
He was ultimately unable to determine whether the young man’s panic at that ti was genuine or feigned.
"Old Qiao is secretly watching again; was it really during the Golden Core Realm Demon Beast’s attack a few days ago that I exposed a flaw?"
In the corner of the carriage, Lu Qing, undergoing cultivation with closed eyes, felt a faint sense of being watched and felt a bit helpless.
At this point, he was in a different appearance.
Even his Divine Soul aura had changed dramatically.
Now, even if Nangong Yuanwu and Mo Hongyun were standing right in front of him, they might not recognize his identity.
But Lu Qing didn’t expect that although he could hide his changes from soone in the Primordial Spirit Realm, an elder at the Golden Core Third Turn level saw through him.
A few days ago, that sudden attack caught him off guard as he was ditating and comprehending cultivation.
Although he cooperatively displayed panic when the Golden Core Demon Beast attacked,
who would have thought that this astute Old Qiao could still detect his peculiarity.
"My acting wasn’t convincing enough." Lu Qing shook his head silently.
As they say, age brings wisdom, and Old Qiao is clearly an old hand.
With just a slight slip, he imdiately spotted the flaw.
After sighing, Lu Qing ceased paying attention and continued his ditation.
Even if Old Qiao noticed sothing, as long as he didn’t disturb him, it was fine.
His concealnt of cultivation and infiltration into this team was not just for travel and growth but also to obscure his identity, avoiding unnecessary complications.
"However, I didn’t expect that after only two or three years in retreat, such significant events transpired outside."
Lu Qing recalled so information he heard a few days ago from a town.
Originally, he had intended to feel the bustling life of the town after his long retreat.
He inadvertently overheard so discussions about the conflict between the Gongsu Family and the Nangong Family at a restaurant.
