"Clang!"
The Middle-Aged Warrior drew his broad sword and coldly stared at Ye Yang, saying, "Kid, I've lived for thirty-seven years, and no one has ever dared to speak to me like that!"
Ye Yang smiled lightly, sniffed his nose, and said, "This Azure Wind Antelope Meat should be ready by now, right?"
The young girl glanced at the middle-aged man with a hint of annoyance. The middle-aged man angrily sheathed his sword, his eyes filled with disdain as he muttered, "Greedy and shameless scoundrel, humph!"
Ye Yang took out a Short Dagger and cut a piece of leg meat from the Azure Scale. The Azure Scale was a specialty of the hilly plateau region, known for its incredible jumping ability. It was said that an adult Azure Scale could leap several dozen meters high, surpassing even ordinary Earth Level Five experts in terms of jumping prowess.
Thus, the leg meat of the Azure Scale was the most resilient and delicious. Especially when roasted, its enticing aroma could intoxicate anyone.
Standing up, Ye Yang walked straight to the young girl, bowed respectfully, and presented the Azure Scale meat on the Short Dagger, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality, Miss. My brother Zhang Tianhe and I have nothing to offer but this."
The young girl nodded with a smile and was about to take the roasted meat when the middle-aged man quietly said, "Your Highness, we are stranded here; we must be cautious in everything and guard against treachery!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man also stood up and pulled out a silver dagger from his waist. He waved it over the Azure Scale meat to check for poison before nodding and saying, "Alright."
Ye Yang was somewhat surprised and became more interested in their background. By all accounts, this girl referred to as "Your Highness" should be the daughter of some monarch. Although the Central Plains were unified, the Qin Empire was on the verge of collapse, with nobles from the former Six Kingdoms rising up in rebellion, creating a trend of restoring their states.
The young girl before him spoke eloquently; her attire was simple yet exuded an extraordinary demeanor. If she wasn't from a wealthy family, she must truly be a princess from some kingdom.
...
Not asking too many questions, Ye Yang returned to sit beside Zhang Tianhe.
Zhang Tianhe was simple-minded but not foolish. He smiled slightly and lowered his voice, saying, "Zi Yu, have you taken a liking to her?"
"Heh..."
Ye Yang couldn't help but laugh and replied in a low voice, "This Azure Cloud Mountain Range is filled with dangers; we don't even know if we'll survive tomorrow. Do you think I would care about such trivial matters?"
"Then why?"
"I just want to understand a bit more."
"Oh..."
...
Not long after, everyone was full from the feast. Zhang Tianhe let out a satisfied burp and took out a thin blanket from his bag, laying it down beside the campfire to sleep.
Ye Yang had no intention of sleeping. The state of his Refining Technique made his spirit exceptionally vibrant. Even in the deep of night, he remained full of energy. Holding the Breaking Flame Sword, he walked alone to the edge of the campsite, gazing at the bright moonlight in the distance. Suddenly, he felt a wave of nostalgia, missing those friends from two thousand years later, longing to see those lively nights once more.
However, before him lay a fantastical and strange world where a moment's carelessness could cost one their life. To return to the world he once knew, the first thing he needed to do was survive.
Extending his senses outward, Ye Yang quietly closed his eyes, guarding his friend Zhang Tianhe behind him. Although this kid had greatly increased in strength, he was too reckless, making it hard for Ye Yang to relax. For instance, in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, Ye Yang always slept lightly, maintaining a state between dreams and wakefulness with his sword never far from him. In contrast, Zhang Tianhe slept soundly and was already snoring loudly.
The night grew deep, the flames of the campfire flickering. Most people had already fallen asleep, even the Middle-Aged Warrior had collapsed beside the cart with his broad sword in hand.
At that moment, Ye Yang heard rustling sounds behind him. He sensed a faint presence nearby—only at the level of Earth Realm—posing no threat to him.
"Young Hero?"
A sweet voice came through; unsurprisingly, it was the girl in the black cloak.
Ye Yang didn't turn around but smiled slightly. "Miss, you're not asleep yet?"
"Mm."
The girl stepped closer and stood beside Ye Yang, gazing at the bright moon. The silvery moonlight cast a beautiful glow on her delicate face.
"The moonlight from a foreign land is so beautiful..." she said with a smile.
Ye Yang smiled lightly, "Miss, you have quite the spirit to admire the moon in such a perilous place."
The young girl replied with a smile, "Why shouldn't I?"
As she spoke, she looked deeply at Ye Yang and said, "Young Hero, why do you insist on joining my caravan? Although my cultivation is not deep, I can see that your demeanor is far from that of an ordinary expert!"
Ye Yang was slightly taken aback and replied with a smile, "Meeting in the Jianghu is fate. I don't want to see you all die in vain."
"What? Die in vain?"
The girl was astonished. "Why do you say that? The Azure Cloud Mountain Range stretches two hundred miles deep, and the strongest magical beasts should be Earth Level Six. With our strength, it shouldn't be difficult to pass through this mountain range and bypass the Wei Kingdom's borders, right?"
Ye Yang shook his head and looked at the girl. "You are mistaken. The high-level magical beasts in the Great Rift of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range seem to be stirring. There are definitely more than just Sixth-Stage Beasts in this area; I even encountered an Eighth-Stage Beast before!"
"What? An Eighth-Stage Beast?!"
The girl trembled slightly, fear appearing on her beautiful face.
"Yes, an Eighth-Stage Beast."
Ye Yang said calmly, "If you merely wish to bypass the Wei Kingdom's borders, then tomorrow you should change your route directly north. Perhaps you might survive and make it out of the mountains."
The girl looked at Ye Yang, bit her lip, and after a long pause finally said softly, "I... I am Yan Yao, the daughter of the King of Yan. During the time of war, I was imprisoned in Chuchun of Chu Kingdom. Now, having escaped with General Yuwen's help, we dare not travel along the official roads and can only attempt to cross the Azure Cloud Mountain Range to return to Yan."
"Oh..."
Ye Yang remained calm. The girl had finally revealed her background. It seemed he had indeed encountered a very special caravan—one that included royal descendants!
The Kingdom of Yan was located in the cold northeastern region, bordering Liaodong. It was impoverished but had cultivated a resilient and tough spirit among its people. The Kingdom of Yan had secretly begun to recover and gradually freed itself from the grip of the Great Qin Empire Team, becoming a local lord. If Princess Yan Yao returned home, she would surely be wealthy and powerful!
Unconsciously, three words floated into his mind—"Seeking Support"!
Ye Yang hurriedly shook his head, looking at the Breaking Flame Sword in his hand, feeling a surge of confidence. Now that he possessed considerable strength, he no longer entertained thoughts of a bleak future. The derivation and advancement speed of Fire God Fragment True Qi were remarkably fast; within half a year, he could very likely reach the Earth Level Nine realm. Furthermore, in a few years, he might even catch a glimpse of the mysteries of the Sky Realm. By then, possessing the strength of a Starry Sky Expert, not only would seeking patronage be unnecessary, but achieving a Feudal Title would also be well within reach!
……
Late at night.
The forest gradually became enveloped in thick mist, greatly affecting visibility.
Yan Yao smiled slightly and said, "Oh, it's getting foggy?"
Ye Yang raised his sword-like eyebrows and replied, "Wake everyone up; we are under attack by magical beasts!"
"What?"
Yan Yao's eyes widened in surprise. "How can you be so sure?"
Ye Yang's expression turned serious. "When have you ever seen mist condense so quickly?"
