As dawn began to break, Zhang Su opened his eyes.
He had spent the entire night meditating.
All night long, he had circulated his qi and blood and refined Blood-Replenishing Pills.
Although Qi and Blood Realm martial artists were still flesh-and-blood mortals, once their martial arts reached a sufficiently profound level, they could enter a meditative state through cultivation and use it in place of sleep.
For example, Zhang Su used the Heaven-Devouring Blood Nourishing Art to enter meditation instead of sleeping at night.
In fact, the results were even better than sleep.
W ӗ bñӧv̄ е̃ l .Е̊n ũ ḿа
After meditating for the entire night, he had completely recovered his energy and looked full of vigor.
Moreover, after briefly circulating his qi and blood, a smile appeared on his face.

One hundred and sixty wisps of qi and blood.
That was eight wisps more than the previous one hundred and fifty-two.
This was the result of cultivating the Heaven-Devouring Blood Nourishing Art for a single night.
With the Heaven-Devouring Blood Nourishing Art at Perfection, its efficiency was indeed terrifying.
W̃ е̇ b̆ n о.ṽ_ē l E ñ_um̄а̃
Of course, it also consumed a great many Blood-Replenishing Pills, four in total.
Still, he had finally returned to the "familiar" pace from before.
Cultivating without Blood-Replenishing Pills had been far too slow.
So slow that Zhang Su found it unbearable.

Now that this familiar feeling had returned, his heart felt incomparably peaceful and comfortable.
"Senior Brother, you're awake. Here is your hot water and breakfast."
W̌еb̊no vе l̄ Е ñúm̄ а
Zhao Feng respectfully brought over hot water and breakfast.
The three of them handled Zhang Su's daily chores very well.
Zhang Su did not need to do anything except focus on cultivation.
After eating breakfast and washing up, Zhang Su felt refreshed and invigorated.
He wasted no more time and immediately rose to leave the courtyard.
"I'm heading down the mountain."

"Safe travels, Senior Brother!"
The three watched Zhang Su gradually disappear into the distance, a trace of melancholy appearing on their faces.
"Senior Brother will only be gone for a few days. We need to properly complete the task he gave us!"
Chu Dachuan said.
"All right. Then we'll split up. There are ten Top Outer Disciples, so each of us can keep an eye on three..."
Chu Dachuan and the other two quickly divided up their assignments.
Е n̊ŭ m̃ а . і d
They were filled with enthusiasm now.
All they had to do was wait for Zhang Su to return and challenge the Top Ten Outer Disciples.

When that moment came, they too would share in the glory!
...
"Hyah!"
On the broad official road, a small red horse galloped swiftly ahead.
Ѐn̂ǔmа
Zhang Su was riding on its back.
He had rented the horse from the sect.
Although it looked somewhat small, it was genuinely a fine steed capable of traveling a thousand li.
Zhang Su had also changed his clothes.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Within the sect, he wore the uniform of an outer disciple.
But below the mountain, that outfit would attract far too much attention.
Еn_ů mā . і̆ ḋ
Within the sect, outer disciples were nothing special and could at most be considered expendable.
But below the mountain, even an outer disciple of the Origin Returning Sect was still a disciple of a renowned great sect.
No one dared disregard a disciple of a great sect.
Thus, to avoid trouble, Zhang Su had changed into ordinary clothes.
Zhang Su rode the little red horse at full speed throughout the morning.
By noon, he reached a small town.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
He planned to stop and rest.
The town was not prosperous, and there were relatively few people.
Zhang Su arrived at an inn.
It was the only large inn in town.
"Guest, are you stopping for a meal or staying the night?"
"Just a meal."
Е̌ n u m.а
Zhang Su casually pointed toward the little red horse.
"Take good care of the horse."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Of course, sir."
The waiter then shouted toward the inside of the inn, "One guest for a meal!"
Zhang Su noticed many carriages parked in the open space outside the inn.
There were also armed escorts standing guard around the carriages.
W̄е̇ b nоvеl Е ǹu m̂ а̂
Clearly, an escort agency was transporting goods and had likely stopped at the inn to rest as well.
This was quite common.
The world was far from peaceful.
There were many bandits along the roads.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Valuable goods often required an escort agency to transport them safely to their destination.
This was Zhang Su's first time seeing an escort agency on a job.
Ẇ е bnо v̇e l̈_ Е̂ n úm ã
So he looked over a few more times.
Yet those few extra glances immediately put some of the escorts on alert.
These escorts were all seasoned veterans of the martial world.
Their eyes were sharp.
Although Zhang Su wore ordinary clothes, the air of a "martial artist" about him could not be concealed.
After Zhang Su entered the inn, one of the escorts hurried inside as well and reported to the chief escort in a corner.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Chief Escort, keep an eye on that man..."
After hearing the report, the chief escort narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully sized Zhang Su up.
His gaze lingered especially on the sword in Zhang Su's hand.
"He doesn't have the aura of a bandit, and his bearing is mild. He doesn't look like someone from the martial world. More like a young master traveling for leisure. Perhaps he's merely curious. No need to be too nervous."
Chief Escort Li He spoke.
Li He was the chief escort of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, known in the martial world as "Ghost-Head Saber." His saber techniques were fierce yet unpredictable, making him extremely troublesome to deal with.
Е̃n u m̆а .і_d
When he was young, Li He had also wandered the martial world and made something of a name for himself.
After growing older, he founded the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Relying on the reputation he had built in the martial world, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency's business steadily flourished.
However, as Li He grew older, he gradually handed the business over to his son.
This time, because the cargo was exceptionally valuable, he had personally come along to oversee the escort.
"Father, that man looks soft-skinned and delicate. He doesn't look like someone who knows martial arts. That sword is quite nice, though. What a waste..."
Е̃n ŭm̄ а. i d̃
Beside Li He was a woman dressed as a man, speaking softly.
She was Li He's daughter, Li Xiaoman.
This time, she had pestered Li He until he finally agreed to let her accompany the escort and broaden her horizons.
Li He's expression turned stern. He tapped his daughter's hand with his chopsticks and said in a low voice, "Never gossip about others behind their backs. That's a rule of the martial world! Some experts have extremely keen senses. Even from far away, they can hear sounds ordinary people cannot."

"Besides, you're wrong this time. That young master probably comes from a prominent family, perhaps even a great sect. He likely cultivates superior martial arts. Why would he be like martial artists from the common martial world such as us, who have to temper our strength every day until our bodies are covered in injuries?"
After speaking, Li He immediately raised his wine cup toward Zhang Su and called out loudly, "Honored guest, please forgive us. My daughter was rude. If she offended you, this old man offers his apologies!"
Е̂_ń ů ḿ а .і.d
With that, he raised his head and drank the cup in one gulp.
The others were still confused.
Why had the Chief Escort suddenly apologized to that young man who looked like some pampered noble son?
The next moment, however, Zhang Su raised his head and glanced at Li Xiaoman and Li He with a faint smile.
"Chief Escort, you're too courteous. It's a trivial matter. There's no need to mind it."
With that, Zhang Su also drank a cup.

Only then did everyone realize what had happened.
So that pampered-looking young man really was an "expert"!
They had been so far away, yet he had still heard their conversation.
For a moment, everyone admired the Chief Escort even more.
As expected of a seasoned veteran of the martial world. His judgment was truly sharp.
"Father, did I cause trouble..."

Li Xiaoman tugged at Li He's sleeve.
Her face was bright red.

"Now you know fear? The martial world is full of hidden experts. From now on, don't gossip about people behind their backs."
Li He reprimanded her.
"Yes, Father."
Li Xiaoman lowered her head and no longer dared casually discuss others.
W̃ e ḃn о̊ v̌ӗĺ Еn u̇m̀ӑ
"Little Sister, you came out this time to broaden your horizons. Don't worry."
At that moment, Li Xiaoman's elder brother, Li Wushi, walked over and patted his sister's head to comfort her.
"Father, don't frighten Little Sister anymore."
Li Wushi said with a smile.

"She's only become this way because all of you spoil her. She doesn't know how vast the heavens and earth are..."
After pausing, Li He's expression darkened as he asked in a low voice, "How is it? Nothing unusual nearby?"
Е ṅŭmȧ . і̂d
Li Wushi had gone out to investigate.
This escort mission was no small matter. Li He was cautious at every step and did not dare relax in the slightest.
"Father, we've passed through this town many times before. There's nothing unusual. I also asked around, and no outsiders have arrived recently."
"Good. This escort is too important. Perhaps I'm simply being overly suspicious..."
Li He relaxed slightly.
"Clop, clop, clop."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Suddenly, the thunderous sound of hooves came from outside.
Li He and Li Wushi instantly stood up.
"A cavalry group, at least thirty riders!"
Li He's expression changed.
At once, all the escorts of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency became tense.
Soon, a group of mounted men arrived outside the inn.
Е̊ ń u m̃ а̊
They were dressed in all manner of clothing.
But every one of them carried a weapon, and each wore a wild, unruly expression.

There was even a dense aura of bloodshed and violence about them.
Li He was a veteran of the martial world.
With a single glance, he recognized who they were.
"Is that Chief He of Flying Sky Ridge?"
Ẃе̂_bń о v̆ ӗľ Еṅ um а́
Li He shouted loudly.
At that moment, a burly, heavily bearded man among the crowd sneered. "That's right, it's me. Chief Escort Li, I've also heard of your reputation. Therefore, today I've come only to seize the cargo, not to kill anyone!"
"I hope Chief Escort Li will make things convenient and not bring disaster upon yourself!"
Li He's heart sank.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
He naturally knew He Xiongfei of Flying Sky Ridge.
The man was a notoriously vicious bandit.
W е̊ b̆ n̈о.v̂ ёl Еǹǔ m̌.a
However, He Xiongfei usually remained at Flying Sky Ridge and rarely descended the mountain.
Moreover, although He Xiongfei was a ruthless bandit, Li He had almost never heard of him robbing escorted cargo.
So why had he mobilized such a large force this time, personally leading dozens of riders down the mountain solely to seize their cargo?
But matters had already reached this point. Why He Xiongfei had mobilized such a force was no longer important.
What mattered was that Li He had to protect this shipment.
The cargo was far too valuable.

If he failed to protect it, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency would be finished.
But the other side had dozens of riders, every one of them a vicious bandit who killed without blinking.
If they truly charged in without regard for the consequences, everyone from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency would probably die.
After weighing the situation for a moment, Li He took a deep breath and shouted, "Chief He, I am the chief escort of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. This shipment cannot be lost. But since Chief He has come all this way, I cannot ask you to return empty-handed either."
"How about this? I'll personally experience Chief He's skills. If Chief He loses, please take your men and leave. If I lose, then we'll accept that this shipment is lost."
"What do you think, Chief He?"
Е ǹ ǔ m̈ а̂
For a moment, everyone's gaze turned toward He Xiongfei.
