However, the sky-obscuring cloud of yellow dust and smoke was instantly dispersed by an invisible burst of forceful wind.
And this invisible burst of forceful wind originated from the leading woman.
Due to this sudden occurrence, the three of them reined in their galloping horses, coming to a stop on the official road.
At that moment, the two women flanking the central one on either side spoke to her.
“How can that horse be so fast!”
“Lord Qingyi, his horse seems to be a Divine Wind Steed, identical to the Commander’s horse.”
It must be noted that the mounts they were riding were top-quality horses, Thousand-Mile Steeds, commonly used by the Black Raven Guard.
The horses of ordinary common folk couldn’t compare to their speed.
But now, right beside them, a figure of unknown origin had passed by.
They couldn’t even see his back; the person just vanished from their sight as if a gentle breeze had swept through, leaving not a trace.
The woman in the center spoke softly, her voice like a babbling brook, pleasant and melodious.
“Hmm, that’s right.”
“It is indeed a Divine Wind Steed from the Black Raven Guard!”
Riding the wind, swift and ethereal—that is the speed of the Black Raven Divine Wind Steed.
The central woman’s answer caused the two women beside her to be taken aback.
“Really?”
“But, that man just now seemed very young, and he wasn’t wearing Black Raven Guard attire.”
“How could he have a Black Raven Guard Divine Wind Steed?”
“Could he also be from the Black Raven Guard?”
Their speculations had just been voiced when they were refuted by the woman in the center.
Her reply was filled with confidence, without the slightest hesitation.
“No, that man is not from the Black Raven Guard.”
“How interesting. I have never seen him within the Black Raven Guard.”
After speaking, the woman in the center showed a change in her coldly beautiful face concealed behind the white veil, the corner of her mouth unconsciously lifting into a faint curve.
In Jingtai Prefecture, the number of people who have used the Black Raven Guard’s Divine Wind Steed could be counted on one hand.
Under normal circumstances, only the Black Raven Guard Commander and the two Deputy Commanders were qualified to use them.
As it happened, she knew all three of these people and was very familiar with them.
Especially Jingtai Prefecture’s Black Raven Guard Commander, Mo Ronghua!
Because this leading woman had another identity.
That is, Jingtai Prefecture’s Black Raven Guard Commander, Mo Ronghua, was her biological father.
Mo Qingyi, Jingtai Prefecture Yellow Rank Black Raven Guard!
After giving a deep look into the distance, Mo Qingyi no longer dwelled on the mysterious man’s identity.
She still had a mission to complete and didn’t have that much time to learn about other things.
“Enough. Now is not the time to investigate this matter. We still have half a day’s journey to Wolf Peak Ridge. We must hurry.”
“Among those mutated wild wolves on Wolf Peak Ridge, there is a Wolf King.”
“If the intelligence is not mistaken, that Wolf King definitely possesses strength at the Minor Achievement stage of the Blood Tempering realm.”
Mo Qingyi’s words brought the other two women back to their senses, their faces taking on a serious expression.
“Yes, Lord Qingyi!”
Wolf Peak Ridge was located at the border of Jingtai Prefecture, right beside the official road leading to Qingling Prefecture.
Just half a month ago, a large number of wolf packs appeared on this official road leading to Qingling Prefecture.
Within the wolf packs, several dozen mutated wild wolves had appeared, most possessing strength equivalent to the human Bone Forging realm.
What’s more, there were even two mutated wild wolves comparable to human Marrow Tempering realm martial artists.
Of course, if it were only these mutated wild wolves, they wouldn’t cause much impact on passing merchant caravans.
After all, none of the merchant caravans traveling between Qingling Prefecture and Jingtai Prefecture belonged to simple forces.
Some of the more powerful merchant caravans even had Blood Tempering realm martial artists personally escorting them.
However, what shocked everyone was that one merchant caravan was completely wiped out, tragically dying under the fangs of those mutated wolf packs.
That merchant caravan was called the Jinling Chamber of Commerce.
It must be noted that the Jinling Chamber of Commerce was a force from Qingling Prefecture.
Their caravan had a Blood Tempering realm martial artist stationed within, personally escorting it.
Yet, that Blood Tempering realm martial artist from the Jinling Chamber of Commerce had already perished under the claws and fangs of those mutated wolf packs.
Therefore, the existence of these mutated wolf packs was reported to Jingtai Prefecture’s Black Raven Guard.
This was also the reason Mo Qingyi appeared here.
That Wolf King at the Minor Achievement stage of the Blood Tempering realm could only be killed with absolute certainty by a martial artist at the Great Completion stage of the Blood Tempering realm.
At this moment, Lu Xuan had already stopped by the roadside for about a quarter of an hour, holding a map in his hand.
After looking at the route on it, Lu Xuan roughly estimated the distance to Qingling Prefecture.
“We’re almost out of Jingtai Prefecture.”
“If we travel through the night, we can reach Qingling Prefecture tomorrow.”
Immediately, Lu Xuan rolled up the map in his hand and stuffed it back into his bundle.
Lu Xuan stopped not because he wanted to rest, but because the Divine Wind Steed needed to rest.
As an External Aura Grandmaster, Lu Xuan’s internal Aura was inexhaustible and continuously regenerating.
As long as he had Aura within his body, Lu Xuan would never feel tired.
Sensing the Divine Wind Steed’s breath becoming more and more stable, Lu Xuan mounted it again.
This time, Lu Xuan did not plan to use his internal Aura to travel.
Qingling Prefecture was unfathomable, and it undoubtedly contained some External Aura Grandmasters.
Facing these dangers, Lu Xuan chose to reduce the consumption of his internal Aura, maintaining his peak condition to deal with the Luo Family.
Late at night!
A steed, taking heavy steps, seemed particularly conspicuous in the dead silence of the night.
Under the cold, clear moonlight, the Divine Wind Steed’s eyes actually emitted a faint green glow, appearing quite extraordinary.
With its faintly glowing green eyes, the Divine Wind Steed seemed able to see everything in the night clearly, galloping along the official road without the slightest intention of stopping.
However, in the next moment, the Divine Wind Steed, which had been running at great speed, abruptly halted its forward momentum.
Ahead on the official road, hundreds upon thousands of huge eyes had appeared in an eerie manner.
What was even more terrifying was that each pair of eyes glowed with an unnatural green light, fixedly staring at the Divine Wind Steed.
It was as if they were evil spirits from hell, wanting to devour both the Divine Wind Steed and the human riding on its back.
Seeing these beasts, Lu Xuan wasn’t surprised.
It was a normal occurrence.
Encountering such beasts in the wilderness late at night was perfectly normal.
During his journey from White Path Prefecture, Lu Xuan had lost count of how many beasts he had casually killed along the way.
But the wolf pack appearing before him now made Lu Xuan’s eyes light up.
“Beasts?”
“It seems to be a wolf pack?”
“There’s actually a sentient demon beast within the wolf pack. How interesting!”
