996: Chapter 618 996: Chapter 618 Tang Feiyang couldn’t care less about what these people thought.
Revealing that he was a Cultivator might have been a mistake, but at this moment, there was no remedy—after all, they were not the types to always be on the run, cowardly!
Yet, they were on a mission.
They wanted to arrive safely at their destination and hoped to contribute while also getting a glimpse of those so-called Western Demon Beasts.
What exactly did they look like?
Tang Feiyang knew their abilities weren’t strong.
Facing those Cultivators with formidable powers, they would only be a burden!
They didn’t expect to accomplish any great feats on this mission.
After all, they were Martial Cultivators.
Their Cultivation abilities might be weaker compared to others, but in terms of Martial Strength, they were somewhat better than ordinary people.
In a situation gone awry, they could help protect the common folk!
The mounted Guards and the students on the carriage had already heard the sound of hoofbeats drawing closer, making them nervous—as if a battle was imminent!
Everyone’s hand already gripped their trusty Weapons.
Tang Feiyang looked back at those who they had shaken off and did not inform the Guards or his junior brethren, fearing they would grow complacent.
If they didn’t hurry on, they might choose to linger in a place, allowing their pursuers to close the distance once again!
By the time noon approached, a small town loomed ahead.
Originally, according to the map, they didn’t expect to make it in time for a meal, but because of their hurried journey, they arrived right at midday!
“Let’s have a meal at the tavern in the town ahead!”
The sound of Tang Feiyang’s voice surprised the Guards.
The junior brothers peered out from the carriage windows and gazed at Tang Feiyang’s carriage, puzzled at why they had stopped again while on the run.
Tang Feiyang explained to them: “Those people haven’t caught up for now.
Let’s have a good meal, then move on quickly!”
The Guards and the students listened silently, realizing that they could no longer hear the sound of hoofbeats behind them!
Looks of amazement appeared on their faces, and their expressions conveyed their admiration for their senior brother!
They believed that it must have been the eldest brother who had done something to prevent their pursuers from catching up!
With a gaze, Tang Feiyang silenced them, not wanting them to discuss or make a fuss.
If they wanted to talk about anything, they could use sound transmission—a method of communication they were already versed in, suitable for chatting amongst themselves.
Ever since they started Cultivating and acquired this function, life became much more convenient.
They heard that in the Cultivation World, there were Communication Talismans that were quite affordable.
It’s just that previously, without Spiritual Energy, they couldn’t make use of such Magical Treasures!
Now it was different; no need to use Talismans like before, which was quite troublesome, and the traces might be seen by others, who could potentially follow them and catch them out!
In the poorer and less developed north, they passed through many places with such stores, yet they did not sell advanced products, like communication devices, which were few and very expensive.
At this moment, buying them was pointless.
Instead, it was better to use some Spiritual Energy for a sound transmission Spell, which was an ability they could utilize upon entering the Cultivation World.
Practicing this Spell ahead of time helped them forget their previous panic!
In this small town, their large group entered the tavern.
With over a hundred people, they filled more than ten tables.
They couldn’t all fit in private rooms, and with others in the main hall, some Guards stayed to watch the carriages and horses, while the rest entered the hall, alert for any troubles.
Tang Feiyang led some of them into private rooms—only two were left, and the ten brothers were squeezed into them.
The tavern keeper, glancing at the influx of so many patrons, wore a joyous expression and swiftly instructed the servers to attend to the guests quickly!
…
Du Jiaolan, Yingzi, and their subordinates, as well as those in black attire, and their horses, were now frozen in the icy landscape, unable to move.
They could feel the cold and hunger.
Strangely enough, not only could they not move, but they also couldn’t speak.
Initially, they prevented travelers from using this road.
Come afternoon, with none of their own to control the situation, they remained frozen on the path, and passersby grew curious as to why they stood there!
Despite their peculiar appearance, and somewhat terrifying gaze, it was clear they were not ordinary folks.
Passing commoners quickly sidestepped them, and the occasional passing merchants chose to quietly slip by alongside.
It was sheer bad luck on their part for not encountering a single capable Cultivator who knew how to undo such a Spell.
Thus, they stood from noon until midnight, and amidst the falling snowflakes, they became snowmen, the thick layers of snow on them acting like blankets.
As Martial Artists, their bodies automatically produced heat, negating the need for thicker clothing even in the cold winter.
However, being immobilized like this nearly froze them solid!
By midnight when they finally could move again, their limbs were stiff from the cold.
Upon realizing the spell was lifted, they slowly loosened up their bodies, brushing away the snow piled on top of them.
As Miss Du Jiaolan, who had never suffered such hardship before, feeling cold and hungry now was unbearable.
It was impossible not to harbor resentment!
Towards Tang Feiyang, she felt a mix of love and hate.
How could he be so unsympathetic and indifferent!
“Hmph, this is the man you like?
He doesn’t have a bit of grace, letting all of us suffer like this!”
Yingzi glared at Du Jiaolan and lashed out with harsh words!
