After the commotion subsided, the Flying King Device beca quiet again.
The Martial Artists of Frostwind Comrce were scattered around as before, their sharp gazes sweeping across the space below, preventing any strong foes from returning to ambush or stealth attack.
Since Xiao Ye had taphorically slapped Ye Tiannan in the face, the latter beca sowhat more restrained, no longer mocking or jeering at Xiao Ye; even a faint wariness could be glimpsed in his eyes.
Xiao Ye remained as before—aside from Cultivation, he would occasionally pause to enjoy the scenery below. As for Jin Qiaoqiao, she unusually beca more warm-hearted towards Xiao Ye, striking up small talk every ti she saw him take a break from Cultivation.
When Xiao Ye wanted to resu his Cultivation, Jin Qiaoqiao would obediently leave, not causing him any significant annoyance.
With continued Cultivation, Xiao Ye felt that the day when he would break through to the Mid-level King Martial Fourth Level was drawing ever nearer.
Ti flew by, and three days passed in a blink.
The Flying King Device was extrely fast; in these three days, they had travelled at least tens of thousands of miles.
"Central State is indeed vast; we must still be within the boundaries of the Taiyi Domain at this point," Xiao Ye opened his eyes and observed the mountain ranges below, undulating like Gray Dragons, along with the forests that stretched as far as the eye could see, filling him with deep emotion.
If one were a King Martial Realm Expert, one might spend an entire lifeti and still not traverse the entirety of Central State.
"Hmm?" Just then, Xiao Ye’s expression subtly changed as he sensed an icy killing intent pervading the air around him, accompanied by an elusive disturbance that spread outwards.
Due to his Cultivation of the Four Emperor Skills, Xiao Ye’s senses had beco particularly sharpened, allowing him to detect it imdiately.
"Not good, soone’s ambushing us!" A glint of cold light flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes as he bellowed out a warning.
Although he undertook this mission from Frostwind Comrce with the main goal of journeying to the Bitter Cold Domain, since he had accepted a task, he still held so responsibility.
What?
The crowd on the Flying King Device were shocked, their faces blank with astonishnt.
Clang, clang, clang!
The Martial Artists of Frostwind Comrce swiftly drew their weapons, their sharp gazes scanning the area surrounding the Flying King Device, on high alert.
They had long been made nervous by Earth Comrce, so their reactions were exceptionally quick.
However, after waiting for a long while, the Flying King Device continued its swift flight without any disturbances, leading to skeptical looks from everyone towards Xiao Ye.
"Hmph, are you just trying to scare us with false alarms, kid? I didn’t sense anything at all," Ye Tiannan gave Xiao Ye a cold glance, his voice filled with disdain.
Standing beside him, Jin Qiaoqiao also visibly relaxed; Xiao Ye’s loud shout had indeed given her quite a fright.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, the sky darkened as the void around them tumultuously swayed.
Everyone looked up in horror, only to see an enormous palm blotting out the sky, as imnse as the Ancient Divine Mountain, matching the speed of the Flying King Device before descending upon them with the pressure of Mount Taishan.
"Attack quickly!" Many of the Martial Artists from Frostwind Comrce roared as they burst forth with their formidable strength, soaring up from the Flying King Device and brandishing their weapons to strike at the colossal hand.
Boom!
The deafening sound reverberated, as the powerful shockwave spread in all directions, causing the Flying King Device to shake.
Thirty Martial Artists from Frostwind Comrce joined forces, directly shattering the enormous hand, and fell back onto the deck of the Flying King Device, their faces revealing smiles of surviving a disaster, as they cast grateful looks toward Xiao Ye.
Had it not been for Xiao Ye’s prior warning to be on guard, this sudden attack would have definitely caused them significant harm.
Ye Tiannan’s complexion also changed, and then he simply shut his mouth and watched the surroundings with a tense gaze.
"Everyone be careful, this is surely just the first sneak attack, there will be more to co." Xiao Ye quietly circulated his King Martial Power, with no mind to explain further, he spoke.
Among the thirty Martial Artists dispatched by Frostwind Comrce, only ten were King Martial Warriors, the rest were still at the Peak of Void Martial. Thus, the attacker’s Cultivation could not have been very strong.
And who but a remarkable person would have the audacity to intercept Frostwind Comrce?
"We are the escort team from Frostwind City’s Frostwind Comrce. May I know why you have attacked us? I fear there might be so misunderstanding!" At this mont, a middle-aged man from the Frostwind Comrce team stepped forward and spoke toward the void with clasped hands.
"Heh heh, Frostwind Comrce? It seems there’s no mistake."
"I was afraid it might be an escort team from another comrce."
As his voice fell, an ancient voice suddenly echoed.
Imdiately after, a colossal Flying King Device suddenly caught up from behind Frostwind Comrce’s Flying King Device.
Xiao Ye looked over and saw that there were about a hundred Martial Artists standing on this Flying King Device, with an elderly man in a gray robe at the very front, his face full of ancient wrinkles, eyes deep and profound, his presence surging with a terrifying aura.
"Earth Comrce!"
The Frostwind Comrce middle-aged man’s complexion greatly changed upon seeing the elderly figure, his face turning ashen, obviously recognizing the latter.
Earth Comrce had indeed appeared again, and this ti they had sent over a hundred Martial Artists to intercept.
Jin Qiaoqiao and the other two’s expressions also drastically changed, as they saw the clear disparity between the two comrces. The opponent held an absolute advantage.
"Heh heh, I thought that for your Frostwind Comrce’s escort mission, no Martial Artists would dare to take it. But I didn’t expect there really were four who aren’t afraid of death!" The gray-robed elder’s icy gaze swept over Xiao Ye and the others.
"Old fool, what on earth are you trying to do? To kill the people from Frostwind Comrce, must you really go to such lengths?" The middle-aged man asked through gritted teeth.
This situation was extrely critical, how could he not be worried?
"Ha ha, it seems you still plan to play dumb and muddle through!" The gray-robed elder burst into laughter upon hearing this, looking at the middle-aged man with mockery.
"If it were just to kill the trash from your Frostwind Comrce, our Earth Comrce wouldn’t need to go to such lengths!"
"But I unexpectedly learned that what you are escorting this ti is a treasure from the Barbarian Valley in the Bitter Cold Domain!"
Whoosh!
The gray-robed elder’s words imdiately changed the middle-aged man’s complexion, his eyes filled with panic: "You... you’re mistaken, right? What we’re escorting this ti is just sothing from the Sects of the Bitter Cold Domain."
Although the middle-aged man was denying it, there wasn’t much conviction in his words.
"A treasure from Barbarian Valley?" Xiao Ye’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
To know, his purpose in heading to the Bitter Cold Domain this ti was precisely for the Barbarian Valley.
