Crackling~~

The campfire crackled and popped.

Not far from Liang Yunhui and Liang Yuhan, a middle-aged man with a somewhat ordinary appearance was eyeing Liang Yuhan with malicious intent.

Even though Liang Yuhan had disguised her face, the inadvertent charm she exuded remained extremely captivating.

Especially for those who had been on the road for over a month without any "fun"; anything female was particularly alluring.

"Just those two women left, brother. Should we make a move?"

"The younger one is yours. I prefer the older one, she's more flavorful." The man chuckled lecherously.

His gaze was lascivious, sizing up the mother-daughter pair of Liang Yunhui and Liang Yuhan.

It had been over a month since they departed from Bafang City.

About ten days ago, the nearest city to replenish supplies was now far behind them. The road ahead was at least another month's journey without touching any town.

The upcoming journey would be the most dangerous, testing humanity's core.

Choosing the right companions to travel together to the Central Plains was crucial; encountering ruthless people could mean life or death.

This is why Guangxuan Escort Agency charges so much but still so many are willing to follow them.

Guangxuan Escort Agency had a good reputation, passed down for four generations, each adhering strictly to the rules.

Those who had previously traveled to the Central Plains with Guangxuan Escort Agency often returned with praises for them.

"Don't cause trouble."

"Although they are not under Guangxuan Escort Agency's protection, making a move under their nose might compel them to intervene."

Lai Mao said flatly.

He turned the skewered meat in his hand, and as the oil sizzled on it, he sprinkled some chili powder, cumin, and salt from his pouch.

"Moreover, that Zhao Hao isn't as simple as he seems. The fierce beast accompanying him is at least of Qi Blood First Transformation strength."

Lai Mao continued.

Zhao Hao was Lin Zheyu's alias.

"Bah, I've been watching that guy for days."

"Every time he comes back looking exhausted; anyone who didn't know better might think there's a brothel in the mountains where he fought a three hundred-round battle."

Lai Chang scoffed dismissively.

He and Lai Mao were brothers and were known as ruthless characters in Bafang City.

This journey to the Central Plains was mainly because they were tired of Bafang City and wanted to experience the wider world.

"I feel that Zhao Hao might be practicing some evil technique that flares up every four days. To avoid discovery, he always enters the mountains to alleviate the side effects."

"Regardless of his strength, at that moment, he's definitely at his weakest, the perfect time to make a move." Lai Chang chuckled sinisterly.

He wasn't a fool; Lai Chang knew that those daring enough not to pay protection fees, trailing behind Guangxuan Escort Agency to the Central Plains, were no weaklings.

The true weaklings had mostly died along the way; out of the remaining eight, none were weak.

Over the past month, he had been secretly observing the others daily.

Lai Chang thought that among the eight, the weakest were Liang Yunhui and Liang Yuhan.

As for Zhao Hao, his strength was unknown, but definitely not the weakest.

Moreover, Zhao Hao was closely associated with Liang Yunhui and Liang Yuhan, making it difficult to act against him.

However, after observing for so long, Lai Chang noticed Lin Zheyu's pattern: every four days or so, he would enter the mountains for several hours.

Although he tried to hide it, upon his return, his weakness was still noticeable.

Therefore, taking action against Liang Yunhui and her daughter during his absence would be most opportune.

A little drugging to create a fleeting romance, and Guangxuan Escort Agency likely wouldn't intervene, right?

"Just wait. There will be plenty of opportunities to act on the road ahead, no need to rush." Lai Mao shook his head.

"Wait, all you do is wait."

"Damn, holding back this long is torture."

Lai Chang grumbled.

Though dissatisfied, he didn't go against Lai Mao's decision.

As the elder brother, Lai Mao was stronger and more cautious. Normally, Lai Mao made the decisions.

Swish swish~~

In the open ground, Liang Yunhui was cultivating with her Longsword, its blade slicing through the air with a swishing sound.

Liang Yuhan tended the campfire, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, her right hand on her sword hilt, ready to strike at any sign of trouble.

"Hmph!"

Liang Yuhan also noticed Lai Chang's lecherous gaze and snorted lightly, heightening her guard.

Anyone daring to trail Guangxuan Escort Agency to the Central Plains must have a card up their sleeve.

Bang bang bang——

In the forest, the sound of banging resonated repeatedly.

Lin Zheyu was recklessly swinging his fists. With the support of heavy armor and his fist momentum, each punch felt powerful and unyielding.

Over a month of fierce training, Lin Zheyu's understanding of Wild Bull Fist grew deeper.

The momentum he had now was fundamentally different from the fist momentum he had previously comprehended.

Though still unmatched in its dominance, he'd found the core of that power.

That core was strength!

Lin Zheyu had been practicing martial arts for less than two years.

Although he had understood the fist momentum from Wild Bull Fist, lacking enough experience and insight, he couldn't form a Martial Dao belief.

The fist momentum felt somewhat superficial and empty.

But since practicing Wild Bull Fist wearing a five-hundred-kilogram weight, and comprehending its true essence, Lin Zheyu's momentum had found its foundational core.
