Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 642: Encountering Pursuers Halfway

Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying said goodbye to Jinglan, Li Xian and others, and watched them go south along the Bicheng official road, and finally disappear around the corner of the road.

When they parted, Li Qi told him that there was a small path heading east near the south side of Shikong Bridge. After bypassing Xiaotu Mountain along that path, he could find his way to Yutuo City.

The two had no choice but to turn back and look for the fork in the road.

After walking for about thirty or forty miles, it was already dark, and we found a fork in the road leading to the east. It was about four or five feet wide and meandered along the northern foot of Xiaotu Mountain.

Chu Xiaomu knew that the Ten-Arch Bridge was about 10 to 20 miles ahead, and it seemed that this road led to Yutuo City. He pulled the reins with his right hand, and Cheng Huang's neck swung, turning east.

Xiaoying was riding an ordinary military horse from Bicheng, which was not as fast as Chenghuang, so the two of them did not travel very fast. Moreover, they had to rest for a while after traveling for thirty to fifty miles so that Xiaoying's mount could recover its strength.

Xiaoying was not happy about parting with the dragon zebra Hongsi, and asked, "Brother Xiaomu, your yellow horse runs so fast, why can't I ride the same one as you?"

Chu Xiaomu said, "I don't know the specific reason, but when I was in the Beast Mountain, the beast spirits didn't dare to ride Huang. They said that riding it would hurt your body, so it's better for you not to ride it. Anyway, we are not in a hurry, so let's walk slowly. It doesn't matter when we arrive at Yutuo City."

Xiaoying asked again: "Then why can you ride? I don't see you feeling uncomfortable anywhere."

Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "Because your brother Xiaomu is very capable, he is what they call an extraordinary person."

"What is an alien?"

"An alien is an alien, what else could it be?"

Xiaoying pouted and said, "Tell me the truth, or I won't let you go!"

Chu Xiaomu thought that it might not be easy to explain this matter to you clearly. Besides, I don’t quite understand it myself, so I really don’t know where to start.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. From the sound, he could roughly tell that there were three horses in a row. The sound of these horses running was different from the horses in Bicheng and Jinyangcheng. They were not very fast, and their hooves were very heavy, much like the rhinoceros horses in Yutuocheng.

“Could it be Lu Lin Nange?” Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, but he was not completely sure, so he hushed to Xiaoying and said, “Someone is coming from behind. Let’s find a place to hide first to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Xiaoying pouted and said, "Aren't you very capable? Why are you afraid of being caught up?" But she still got off the horse obediently, led the horse and hid behind a dense forest.

The two of them had just hidden themselves when Chu Xiaomu heard another set of horse hoof sounds coming from behind the group of people. The horses were running faster and faster, and were getting closer and closer to the group in front.

Seeing Chu Xiaomu frowning, Xiaoying asked, "Brother Xiaomu, what's wrong with you? Does your wound hurt?"

This playful little girl actually cared about him so much. Chu Xiaomu felt warm in his heart and said, "The wound doesn't hurt that much."

"Then why are you frowning so much? Is it funny?"

"Keep your voice down. It seems there are more than one group of people coming. There are two groups."

Xiaoying became a little worried and asked, "What should we do? You are so badly injured, will they catch you back?"

Chu Xiaomu said, "Don't worry, they can't catch us." As he spoke, he pointed at Chenghuang, meaning that with it there, no one could catch the two of us.

Xiaoying then remembered that there was a magical horse standing behind her that no one could catch up with, and she immediately smiled happily.

The two men hid behind a dense bush and could not see anything. They could only hear the sound of horses' hooves from the group in front getting closer and closer, and the group behind getting closer and closer.

Not long after, a middle-aged man's voice was heard shouting, "Miss Lu Lin, please stay!" It was Qi Changshu, the eighth disciple of the Golden Knife and Black Sword. His voice was sent out with the Force, and it echoed in all directions.

Chu Xiaomu was still about twenty or thirty feet away from them, but Qi Changshu's voice sounded as if he was speaking to him face to face.

Xiaoying looked at Chu Xiaomu worriedly and asked in a low voice, "Are the people from the Golden Sword Sect chasing us?"

Chu Xiaomu nodded, signaling her not to speak any more. At this time, it was roughly guessed that Lu Linnan Ge had escaped from Jinyang City, and Qi Changshu led his men to chase after him.

The Xiba horses were tall and strong, and had great endurance, but their steps were far less swift than the horses from Jinyang City. Lu Linnan Ge knew that he could not escape, so he simply reined in his horse and said, "Qi, what do you want to do?!"

When Qi Changshu and his entourage came close to Lu Linnange and the others, they also stopped their horses, chuckled, and said, "Master Lu Lin, I kindly ask you to stay in Jinyang City for a while so that we can discuss the Seven Cities Alliance. Why are you running so fast?"

Seeing that he spoke frivolously and had a frivolous look, Lu Lin Nan Ge could not help but get furious and shouted, "You beast in human form, look at the sword!" Then there was a crisp crackling sound, and the magic had been cast.

Although Chu Xiaomu knew that she was decisive in her words and deeds, he did not expect that she would draw her sword and attack after only saying a few words to Qi Changshu.

Qi Changshu laughed and scolded, "You little girl, are all the people in Yutuo City as fierce as you?"

Another person laughed and said, "You should ask Wu Yinwei about this. His third wife is also from Yutuo City."

Amid the whirring wind, Qi Changshu asked, "Wu Laopo, are all the women in Yutuo City as fierce as Miss Lulin? You're called 'Wu Laopo', yet you have four wives. You're really lucky."

Everyone in Jinyang City burst into laughter when they heard this. Judging from the laughter of these people, there were actually more than 20 to 30 people.

Lu Linnange's group only had three or four people at most, and her martial arts were not as good as Qi Changshu's, so she was afraid that she would suffer a great loss this time. Although the knife wound on Chu Xiaomu's chest was not fatal after applying the wood phase spiritual power, it was still very painful at this time. He didn't know whether he could defeat Qi Changshu with the injury, so he couldn't help but worry secretly.

The silver lieutenant nicknamed "Wu Laopo" said seriously: "My Lord, my third wife is gentle and virtuous, and sensible. She usually doesn't even dare to catch a chicken, so it can be said that not all women in Yutuo City are fierce."

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.
