Zhao Houcai and his companions heard a sound and hurriedly fled forward, but were still intercepted by Jiang Shi descending from the sky, blocking their path.
"Elder Zhao, it’s been so long, I’ve missed you much."
Jiang Shi showed a slight smile, looking at Zhao Houcai, Zhao Feiyan, and the third person with a surprised expression.
Could it be that destiny truly works in mysterious ways?
Otherwise, how could they et again?
Moreover, these three have incredibly large lives.
They wandered all the way from the territory of the [Thirty-Six Alliance] to Central State, yet nothing happened to them?
This kind of luck is seldom seen in the world.
Anyone else would have long been reduced to ashes.
"Young Hero Jiang, you’ve been well, we’ve missed you too. How do you happen to be here?"
Zhao Houcai, finding escape impossible, imdiately smiled and spoke with a chuckle.
"? I’m just here looking for sothing."
Jiang Shi smiled slightly, "I didn’t expect to et you here. By the way, Elder, did you happen to see a pillar of light ascending to the sky earlier?"
"A pillar of light ascending to the sky?"
Zhao Houcai widened his eyes, revealing surprise, and said, "Really? This old man truly didn’t see it."
"Yes, yes, we didn’t see it, didn’t see it."
Zhao Houcai’s companions, Zhao Feiyan among them, all shook their heads repeatedly, feigning ignorance.
Especially Zhao Feiyan, who tightly held her belly, fearing any noise coming from it.
"Oh? You didn’t see it?"
Jiang Shi questioned with suspicion, "How strange, that pillar of light was clearly not far from here. We were following it all the way."
"Haha, perhaps we were only focused on hurrying along and didn’t notice."
Zhao Houcai chuckled and said, "By the way, what exactly is that pillar of light that made Young Hero Jiang so interested? And it seems a lot of people are around, are they all looking for it?"
"It’s nothing much, just involves a chance encounter."
Jiang Shi spoke calmly, "Enough said. Elder Zhao, as I ntioned in Qilin City, the next ti we et, I invite you to a al. Let’s go."
He turned and started walking forward.
"This..."
Zhao Houcai’s eyelids twitched wildly, feeling uneasy, he forced a smile, "Young Hero Jiang is too kind, let’s skip the al?"
"How can we skip it? Jiang has few friends in this life, but Elder Zhao is certainly one of them, and in Great Xuan, Elder was my guiding light. Without your care, I would have been killed long ago."
Jiang Shi spoke with a smile, "Moreover, eting here far away from ho, isn’t this destiny? Let’s go!"
"This... alright then."
Zhao Houcai secretly lanted, casting a glance at Zhao Feiyan.
He feared his daughter’s stomach might make noise again.
If it does, given Jiang Shi’s ruthless nature, he might not hesitate to cut open his daughter.
What could be done?
Zhao Feiyan and Shangguan Yun also looked pale, tense and anxious.
"Elder Zhao, are you hiding sothing from ?"
Suddenly, Jiang Shi’s eyes glinted, turning back to stare deeply at the three.
"No, no, absolutely not."
Zhao Houcai quickly replied.
"Yes, yes!"
Zhao Feiyan and Shangguan Yun nodded repeatedly like pecking chicks.
"Then why are you sweating so much?"
Jiang Shi’s eyes glimred slightly.
Under the [Insight Talent], he could clearly see the hairs on Zhao Houcai, Zhao Feiyan, and Shangguan Yun standing on end, goosebumps appearing, and threads of sweat seeping from their pores, densely covering their bodies.
"Really? Is that so?"
Zhao Houcai feigned innocence, quickly smiling, "Maybe it’s just too hot."
He hurriedly wiped the sweat from his face.
"Yes, it’s too hot, too hot."
Zhao Feiyan, Shangguan Yun, and the others quickly wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
"I see..."
Jiang Shi pondered thoughtfully, smiling, "Then let’s go, I’ll treat you to a al."
He turned and continued walking forward.
Zhao Houcai and his companions internally lanted, falling into despair.
What kind of situation is this?
In the anti, Zhao Feiyan looked pitifully at her senior brother and father, showing a plea for help, but unfortunately, her senior brother and father looked equally bitter, unable to help.
Ti passed.
The three of them, like shivering quails, with furrowed brows followed Jiang Shi and his companions, walking forward.
Before they realized it.
Dusk arrived.
The fiery red sunset illuminated the horizon, draping the world in a veil of dark red light.
"There’s a town just ahead. Once we reach it, we can have a great feast."
Jiang Shi chuckled, pointing forward.
To the side, Zhao Houcai once again forced a smile, feeling bitter inside.
Just then!
Sitting on the horse, Zhao Feiyan suddenly showed terror, her delicate face turning pale, and she shouted, "Father, it... it’s coming again!"
Hiss!
A layer of pure white and hazy light instantly emanated from Zhao Feiyan’s abdon, spinning rapidly, forming a pillar of light that soared straight into the sky.
Boom!
The pillar brewed in the high altitude, exploding into layers of white ripples that swept in all directions, shaking the heavens.
This white light lasted longer this ti.
It persisted for about five to six seconds before fading away again.
Jiang Shi’s pupils contracted, showing astonishnt, as his gaze suddenly shifted to Zhao Feiyan’s abdon, with his eyes emitting divine light, as if trying to see through Zhao Feiyan.
Unfortunately, the mysterious hazy white light rendered even his [Insight Talent] completely ineffective.
Beside him, the Twelve Zodiac Gods and Jiang’s Twelve Eagles all changed their expressions, looking at Zhao Feiyan in disbelief.
