Chapter 807: Chapter 86: Strange Caravan (Part 2)
"What you said is not wrong, but I’m just afraid this journey won’t be peaceful. In any case, Brother Gu, the two of us should be cautious and careful. If we encounter a dangerous situation, we can cooperate."
Hearing Sun Kang’s words, Lin Chen understood why Sun Kang was so forthcoming with him. Perhaps besides his resemblance to an old friend of Sun Kang’s, the more important reason was that both he and Sun Kang had temporarily joined the caravan.
If there was something suspicious about this caravan, he and Sun Kang would be outsiders who could work together.
"Alright."
Lin Chen agreed, and the two tacitly formed an alliance.
...
...
The first flying ship of the caravan.
"What is the background of those two latecomer Innate Martial Artists?"
"One is from the Grand Sect, and the other is from the Canglan Sect."
"The Canglan Sect? Recently, the Canglan Sect has been quite prominent. Lin Chen defeated Sima Kong twice, and the news has spread throughout the Flame Dynasty."
"Lin Chen is Lin Chen, and Gu Fei is Gu Fei. There are many disciples from the Canglan Sect, and they cannot be compared."
As soon as the young man on the flying ship said this, the middle-aged man who spoke earlier also laughed. It was indeed true; there are so many disciples in the Canglan Sect, and it’s uncertain if Gu Fei has even met Lin Chen.
"Since they are from a Super Sect, their identities should be undoubtedly secure, so there’s no need to worry about these two being inside agents."
"Big brother, what exactly are we transporting this time that requires more than just the three of us? We even had to hire additional escorts?"
The young man was full of curiosity. This time, the escort task was taken by his eldest brother, but until now, his brother hadn’t mentioned what the caravan was transporting. And even with the three brothers, they needed two more Innate Second Realm Martial Artists.
Generally, what a caravan transports are only of interest to those in the Innate Second Realm, with some more precious resources being extremely rare, not requiring caravan transport, and can be carried by powerhouses themselves.
Unless it is those consumable resources that everyone needs, such as Flame Coins or Innate Stones, in large quantities...
If it truly reached a scale that would tempt even the Innate Third Realm, usually it would be transported by a major power, with family or sect disciples tasked with escorting, not needing to hire escorts from the outside.
This time, the caravan transport seemed obviously unusual.
"Take the money, resolve the problem for others, don’t worry about so much. Our task is to escort the caravan to the Eastern Sea."
Yu Xingyao’s expression was serious: "This escort mission can bring us a thousand Innate Stones. It’s hard for my second brother and me to break through to the Innate Third Realm, but you, my third brother, still have a chance. With these thousand Innate Stones, there’s an opportunity to reach the Innate Third Realm."
"Third Brother, would Big Brother ever harm us?" Second brother Yu Xingshun spoke: "We should do as Big Brother instructs, and now all of our family’s hopes rest on you."
The three Yu brothers are all in the Innate Second Realm, but Yu Xingyao and Yu Xingshun are both over forty years old, while the third brother Yu Xing’an is just in his early thirties, with a chance to reach the Innate Third Realm.
In the Martial Arts Realm, after so many years, there has already been a standard for the Innate Realm.
Those who can break through to the Innate Second Realm before the age of thirty have the possibility of reaching the Innate Third Realm. If they break through after thirty-five, it becomes extremely difficult in this lifetime.
This age division is based on the statistics of the talent and background of martial artists.
Of course, there are exceptions, but there is only one in nearly a hundred, making such a chance too slim.
"Third Brother, whether our Yu family can go further depends on you. I hope you remember one thing, when walking through the Flame Dynasty, don’t be curious about what you shouldn’t be."
"I understand, I’ll never be so curious again."
Yu Xing’an nodded, still heeding his big brother’s words.
Yu Xingyao naturally knew why his third brother was curious, but this time the escorted caravan was different from the past, and there were things he couldn’t disclose to his third brother.
...
...
Two months later.
Three flying ships entered the territory of the Red Dust Domain; once past the Red Dust Domain, it was the Eastern Sea.
Meanwhile, the flying ships only stopped to change the Energy Stones that powered them; there were no other delays along the way.
"The Red Dust Domain, ah, it’s a great place. It’s a pity the caravan won’t stop here. Otherwise, I could take Brother Gu to some fine places to experience."
In two months, Sun Kang and Lin Chen had become quite familiar with each other.
According to Lin Chen’s account, he embarked on his journey after breaking through the Innate Second Realm and was unfamiliar with various domains. Along the way, Sun Kang introduced various features of each domain to Lin Chen.
Seeing the excitement on Sun Kang’s face when mentioning the Red Dust Domain, Lin Chen thought about his Third Senior Brother.
His Third Senior Brother also had such bright eyes when talking about the Red Dust Domain.
"Once this escort task is completed, I’ll stay in the Red Dust Domain for a while. If Brother Gu finishes his business in the Eastern Sea, you can come find me in the Red Dust Domain."
Sun Kang winked, seemingly already imagining the carefree days a month later, no longer having the demeanor of an Innate Powerhouse.
Indeed, when it comes to that, men remain immature boys at heart, much like the noblemen of Poyang County who enjoy frequenting brothels.
Just as Lin Chen was about to reply, the flying ship suddenly halted.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, Sun Kang, who had been filled with interest, swiftly turned serious.
"Something’s up!"
Seeing Sun Kang’s quick change in demeanor, Lin Chen also felt it deeply — indeed, Innate Martial Artists had a level of alertness and reaction that ordinary martial artists could not match.
