Yun Lintian smiled faintly and pointed at the black figures outside. "Two of them are at the peak of the Ruler Profound Realm. I don't think such a lineup would come to capture Brother He."
"Ugh…" He Bai almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this… When did I offend you, brother?
Shen Liqiu was amused. She looked at everyone and said apologetically. "I'm sorry for implicating everyone. Don't worry. They won't do anything to you. You can stay here at ease."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked out of the carriage under everyone's gaze. He Bai and the others glanced at each other and did not know what to do. Even if they wanted to help, their strength was limited.
"Er… Senior Yun, are you going to watch like this?" He Bai asked hesitantly.
Yun Lintian shrugged. "Do I look like a busybody?"
Yes!… Hongyue and the others inside the Land of Beyond Heaven said in unison.
"It's her matter. There's no need for us to be involved." Yun Lintian said heartlessly. "Let's go, Brother Fu."
Fu Teng looked at Shen Liqiu and the black-robed men with a frown. In many years of business, he always abided by his own principle that he must protect the passenger's safety. To let him leave like this wasn't his way.
Shen Liqiu seemed to see through Fu Teng's thoughts. She lowered her head slightly and said. "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Fu. Please leave immediately."
"Girl, I can hold them for a while. Why don't you use this chance to run?" Fu Teng said to Shen Liqiu through a sound transmission.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I can really handle this." Shen Liqiu replied calmly. She turned to the tall man. "When I left, I had already made it clear that I have nothing to do with the Shen clan. Why bother?"
"This is patriarch's order." The tall man said coldly. He glanced at Fu Teng and asked. "Since you want to mess with our business, you can stay here."
As he spoke, a deadly profound light abruptly shot out of his body toward Fu Teng. The profound light contained a terrifying power of the peak Ruler Profound Realm. It could easily turn half of a mountain into pieces.
He Bai and the others within the carriage turned deadly pale when they saw this. They couldn't help urging their profound energy to protect themselves.
Fu Teng's eyes narrowed slightly. The previous carefree appearance had long disappeared. His aura erupted forth, and the incoming profound light was reflected away.
Boom!
The profound light went straight to a nearby forest and instantly razed everything to the ground.
"Oh? As expected from the former Song Dynasty's royal guard captain. Your strength hasn't declined over the years." The tall man curled his lips.
A hint of surprise appeared in the depth of Fu Teng's eyes upon hearing this. "Shen clan…" He turned to look at Shen Liqiu and asked. "Are you coming from the Shen clan of Myriad Island?"
There was no point in Shen Liqiu hiding it. She nodded gently in response. "Yes."
Hearing this, Fu Teng let out a sigh and said apologetically. "I'm sorry, girl. It seems I can't help you with this."
"It's fine. Thank you, Senior." After knowing Fu Teng's true identity, Shen Liqiu immediately changed how she called him.
"We're leaving. Do you still want to stop us?" Fu Teng glanced at the tall man and said calmly.
The tall man thought for a moment and waved his hand. "Go."
Fu Teng said nothing further and quickly urged the horses to move. The carriage gradually moved further until Shen Liqiu disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
"No wonder she's powerful. It turns out she is a descendant of the Myriad Island's Shen clan." He Bai said in awe.
Yun Lintian was curious about this. He had never heard about Myriad Island before.
"Where is the Myriad Island, Brother He?" Yun Lintian asked.
"I see. You are not a native here, right?" He Bai responded. "Well, Myriad Island is located between the Southern and Eastern Continent. It's probably one of the most prosperous islands on the Endless Sea. Anyone who travels between the continents must at least have visited this island once."
"And this island is governed by the Shen clan. They are very powerful. The rumor said they had an ancestor who ascended to the Divine World. You can imagine how terrifying their inheritance is."
Ding Jie added. "Senior Shen earlier must be an important character. Perhaps she's Patriarch Shen's daughter. Otherwise, they wouldn't send a big lineup to catch her back like this."
Everyone, except Yun Lintian, nodded in agreement.
Yun Lintian touched his chin and looked in Shen Liqiu's direction thoughtfully. His intuition told him she was capable enough to escape from the black-robed men. Perhaps he would meet her again later.
"Don't think about it too much. The Shen clan's matter is not something ordinary people like us are concerned with." Fu Teng's voice came from the front. "We will go straight to the campsite without resting."
As his voice fell, the carriage speed abruptly increased at least twice. It was as though Fu Teng wanted to escape from the scene as fast as he could.
Song Dynasty? Shen clan? Myriad Island?…. Yun Lintian noted these words and put them aside. He had no time to pay attention to them.
Four hours later, the carriage gradually approached the destination. At this moment, Yun Lintian and the others could see a vast windstorm in the far distance through the carriage's windows.
"It's always scaring me, no matter how many times I see it." He Bai couldn't help saying while looking at the windstorm.
"Yeah. I feel my soul has been sucked away just by looking at it." Ding Jie said and turned her head away, not daring to look at the windstorm further.
"So, this is it." Yun Lintian muttered to himself. He could feel a trace of a connection between him and the windstorm in his heart. Without a doubt, The Storm was there.
