Chapter 216: Even flying in the sky, they were intercepted halfway?
Qin Yiyao also noticed this abnormality, and her expression became serious.
These demonic birds definitely weren't flying along a set route; it was as if they were attracted by something!
"Don't worry."
Gu Heng restrained Qin Yiyao, who was getting restless, and the little girl realized that something was wrong.
He also found it strange, since this place was definitely not the capital, but it didn't seem like a transit point either. These winged beasts couldn't possibly land here for no reason.
So, something must have happened.
"Master." Qin Yiyao suddenly tugged at Gu Heng's sleeve, gesturing for him to look down.
Gu Heng looked down and saw a group of dark shadows in the deep valley. There were at least a dozen people there. They didn't look like good people. They were dressed in black and hiding in this desolate and rugged mountain range.
Looks like we've run into bad people.
But the key question is, where are they now?
This flight is heading directly towards the Sunfire Capital, but if they deviate from the route along the way, wouldn't that mean they could be anywhere now?!
Perhaps they're no longer even within the territory of the Sunfire Dynasty...
At this moment, the passengers on the other four demonic birds also began to realize that something was wrong. They were panicked and confused, but there was nothing they could do.
Those who came to ride the demonic birds were either ordinary people or cultivators with low cultivation levels. Before setting off, Qin Yiyao had sensed that she was the only one above the Nascent Soul stage, while the other rogue cultivators were all extremely weak.
It's impossible to escape by jumping down now; the height would be enough to kill them.
There were clearly people waiting below, waiting until the height was low enough before jumping down, but even then, there was no way they could escape.
Therefore, this is a dead end.
"Could these guys be trying to rob us?"
Gu Heng murmured.
He had heard of such things before.
Traveling by carriage can lead to being intercepted halfway, as can traveling by flying magical birds. This is because these magical birds are completely domesticated and have no ferocity. Sometimes, they are attracted by special things, such as scents...
Gu Heng sniffed.
There was a fruity scent in the air of unknown origin.
It seems that the group below prepared something to attract the demonic bird.
Although he could only smell it from so close, the noses of demonic beasts are always very sensitive; they might be able to smell scents that humans could not detect from dozens of miles away.
if so.
They might still be within the territory of the Sunfire Dynasty, not having gone too far.
But those people below didn't look like nice guys at all.
Finally, the demonic bird landed.
At this moment, the cultivators on the nearby demonic bird immediately assumed a stance, looking at the mysterious figures shrouded in black robes with cold and bloodthirsty expressions, and shouted, "Who are you?!"
"..."
These men in black robes simply stared indifferently at the monk who had spoken.
half an hour.
Then someone said, "Let's kill this guy first." Immediately, someone raised their hand, and red light emanated from their palm. The red light condensed into the shape of a sharp blade, and then they gently swung it.
The rogue cultivator who had just roared was instantly sliced into hundreds of pieces by the sword, blood and flesh splattering everywhere. Those standing nearby were covered in the splatter, but even so, the rest of the people dared not react.
This simple, swift kill shattered their will to resist.
That man in black robes could have killed everyone here in an instant!
Here, there are more than a dozen black-robed figures of unknown strength!
"Gentlemen, we are just passing through on our way to the capital to do some business. This is all the money I have. Please, gentlemen, be lenient..."
The first to speak was another cultivator. He knelt down, his legs trembling, and emptied his pockets of everything he had—silver coins, spirit stones, and whatever else he could find—offering it all with both hands, his head almost buried in the blood-soaked earth. Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit, scrambling to offer their possessions, hoping to survive.
The group of men in black robes remained expressionless.
They seemed to be merely enjoying the death throes of these ants.
Finally, the men in black robes seemed to have had enough fun. One of them took out a magical artifact and swung it around, binding all forty-odd passengers tightly.
Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao were also tied up.
Then, like prisoners, they were led deeper into the valley.
From beginning to end, Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao did not make any moves.
Qin Yiyao felt it was unnecessary.
Because these black-robed men were all around the Nascent Soul stage, in other words, she couldn't handle them, but for Gu Heng and his pet cat, they were easy prey. Yet Gu Heng didn't react, even letting himself be tied up. That could only mean that Master wanted to "play" with these guys.
Look at these guys, what kind of trouble are they causing in this godforsaken place?
It is not impossible.
Anyway, Qin Yiyao originally thought that the journey would be very boring. Since she had encountered something interesting, how could she not have fun?
Yes, Master must think so too.
"Damn it, these guys don't seem to want to rob us, they want to kill us..."
Gu Heng's face was expressionless, like a zombie.
My mind was in turmoil.
In his past life, he would have simply said, "Who in my family understands this? We even got robbed on a plane!" But now, he was thinking more about his and Qin Yiyao's lives. These guys were clearly cultivators, and not easy ones at that!
Although Gu Heng had also considered the possibility of being robbed by bandits, he had prepared his own newly refined poison, which was super-strengthened, in his system inventory!
But this is poison.
Is it possible to deal with a cultivator who can easily turn a person into bloody pulp?
he does not know.
In any case, Gu Heng dared not make any rash moves. If he accidentally angered these people, he wouldn't even be able to restart the game smoothly.
"Damn system, look what you've done! You're preventing me from cultivating, and now I can't even fight back..."
He grumbled inwardly.
Boom——
Thunder rumbled in the sky. Gu Heng looked around; the little silver cat seemed to have sensed something was wrong and had already hidden itself away. The black-robed men didn't seem interested in a cat at all.
That's fine, she can hide first, then Gu Heng won't have to be distracted.
Although he was bound and his fate was unknown, Gu Heng had not given up resisting.
There is always a chance!
Su Jinxi quietly peeked out from the bushes nearby.
She could have easily taken action and instantly killed all those scheming men in black robes, but Su Jinxi saw that Gu Heng was obediently tied up...
Then she won't make a move.
It seems Gu Heng wants to spend more time with these people, so Su Jinxi shouldn't spoil his fun.
However, Su Jinxi seemed to vaguely recognize these black-robed figures. Weren't they the evil cultivators from the "Evil Soul Hall," whom everyone hated?
They haven't all been wiped out yet?
