125: A series of assassinations?

Departing from Tianshui Academy, the ten-odd carriages would take at least half a month to reach the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

This was under the premise that Soul Saints were driving the carriages, and the horses themselves were not ordinary.

At noon three days later, the group stopped the carriages. Davis was the first to get down from the leading carriage and walked towards the second carriage where Water Binger and Qian Feng were.

He lightly tapped the carriage and said with a smile, "Bing'er, the space in this second carriage is a bit narrow. Why don't you come to mine? There are also some fruits and snacks to eat and play with, hehe, the journey is long, one must find some entertainment."

"Hush, she's asleep, don't be too loud. Senior Sister won't go into your carriage, no need to ask us again." Qian Feng responded in a low voice, his voice suppressed. At this moment, Water Binger was lying in his arms, sleeping soundly.

Davis's mouth twitched. Water Binger's sleeping face appeared in his mind, and his heart was full of curiosity. He was just about to lift the curtain to take a look.

But after a second thought, that would be too rash. He could only grit his teeth, turn around, and arrange for someone to drive the horses forward. A good idea to deal with Jing Feng did come to his mind though~

In the evening, the leading carriage in front suddenly stopped. Davis shouted angrily, "Be careful, there's something wrong with the mountain road!"

This shout startled everyone out of their carriages. Water Binger also looked puzzled and jumped down from the carriage.

Qian Feng shook his head, already having some guesses in his heart, but he still got out of the carriage and stood side by side with Water Binger.

Davis smiled wryly and shook his head from the side, saying, "There are a lot of gravel and debris on the road ahead. It's almost night, and traveling might be a bit troublesome. How about we rest in this mountainous area for a night?"

Upon hearing this, the students of Tianshui Academy were quite interested, after all, it was their first time camping in the wilderness.

Water Binger turned her head to look at Qian Feng, frowned, and asked, "Junior Brother, what do you think?"

"Anything is fine." Qian Feng's expression was calm. Seeing that everyone didn't refuse, Davis gestured for his subordinate Soul Saints to light a bonfire at the foot of the mountain. After everyone sat around, he then said:

"Junior Brother Jing Feng, I remember your Martial Soul is a sword. How about you go up the mountain and get some firewood so it won't be too cold tonight." Davis pursed his lips into a smile and looked concernedly at the few people from Tianshui Academy with lower soul power, saying, "After all, it's snowing. You can handle it, but other students might struggle."

"Okay, I'll go with Junior Brother." Water Binger nodded, stood up, and said to Qian Feng.

"No need, no need~ You two, go together!" Davis shook his head, waved his hand, and arranged for two lean-faced Soul Saints to follow Qian Feng. Qian Feng did not refuse this, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The three slowly entered the mountainside.

Seeing this, Water Binger pursed her lips into a smile and was not worried about Qian Feng's safety. Davis stared blankly at the woman and swallowed, "Bing'er, you look really beautiful when you smile~"

"Uh, First Prince. Please just call me by my name from now on, I'm not used to the address Bing'er." Water Binger's expression was cold. After nodding and sitting down, she no longer paid attention to Davis.

"Hehe, my apologies, my apologies." Davis chuckled, clenching his fists behind his back.

Half an hour later, Qian Feng sniffed and returned with firewood on his shoulder.

As for the two Star Luo Soul Saints who went with him, they followed behind, each with a bruised and swollen face.

"What's going on!" Davis's eyes widened. He had already arranged for the two to split up after going up the mountain and secretly teach Qian Feng a lesson. How did they end up looking like pig heads?

"Your Highness the First Prince, we... we fell."

"Yeah." Qian Feng nodded as usual, threw down the firewood, and sat back next to Water Binger. The latter pursed her lips into a smile, pulled Qian Feng's sleeve, and murmured, "What happened~"

"Nothing, the two Soul Saints just fell." Qian Feng chuckled and raised an eyebrow, glancing at the two.

The two Soul Saints immediately stumbled a few steps, appearing somewhat afraid of the young man in front of them.

Davis suppressed the anger in his heart. Forget it, endure! As long as they reached his territory, there would always be a way to get Water Binger!

Sure enough, after Qian Feng dealt with the two Soul Saints that night, the remaining half month of the journey was peaceful.

Qian Feng and Water Binger were also happy to have peace and quiet, being affectionate in the carriage, which counted as a comfortable and leisurely time.

Unfortunately, Water Binger's personality was not like Hu Liena's. She was unwilling to do some overly stimulating things.

She would even question Qian Feng in return, "How are you so restless now!"

"Cough cough." Qian Feng could only cough awkwardly in response, secretly cursing Hu Liena for leading him astray!

Time flew by, and the Star Luo Empire was reached!

In the streets, Davis's carriage team drove aggressively. Qian Feng lifted the curtain and realized that the ordinary civilians along the roadside seemed to be very afraid of their Empire's Prince. His opinion of Davis dropped another level in his heart.

After entering Star Luo City, Davis arranged the most luxurious hotel rooms for everyone.

At night, Water Binger left Qian Feng's room. After a brief moment of tenderness, he closed his eyes and stood by the window, looking out at the scenery of Star Luo City.

The seemingly prosperous capital, however, gave him a feeling of extreme oppression the moment he entered.

How could he clearly investigate the current situation of the Star Luo Empire? Who from Tang San's side had come here, and what was Dai Mubai's current situation?

Undoubtedly, taking over an Empire was much, much more troublesome than taking over a Sect.

"Hmm?!" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Qian Feng's mouth. In the street below, several killing intents were approaching the area.

An ordinary Soul Saint truly wouldn't be able to detect them.

"Davis, you really haven't given up on your wicked intentions." Qian Feng chuckled, actively changed into a black robe, stepped out of the hotel entrance, and rushed towards outside the city.

"Tsk tsk, why is this kid even going outside the city?" Several black-clad Soul Saints were led by a Soul Douluo. The latter snorted coldly, "Who cares about him, did you forget what the First Prince instructed?"

"No, kill this brat! Disguise it as the work of an Evil Soul Master."

"Then that's right, get to work." The Soul Douluo chuckled, not worried about the Soul Saint being able to resist. He shook his head and said, "I estimate this person has detected us and is trying to run away!"

In the wilderness, Qian Feng stood by a cliff, lost in thought as he watched the falling snow.

After a moment, he said in a cold voice, "Davis sent you, right?"

"Who sent us is not important, you just need to know that we are here to kill you!" The Soul Douluo chuckled, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the young man by the cliff.

"That's true, let's do it." Qian Feng pursed his lips into a smile and turned around to look at the other party calmly.

This nonchalant demeanor somewhat surprised the few people. After exchanging glances, they still chose to reveal their respective Martial Souls and Soul Rings and rushed towards him.

But just as they approached Qian Feng, the golden threads that had been laid in ambush trapped them in place, unable to move.

"This is..." The few people were puzzled. Qian Feng swept a cold glance:

"Since Davis wants my life, then it depends on whether he has the ability."

"Star Shift·Explode!"

As his voice fell, the Golden Lightning threads exploded. The few people were instantly severely injured and died, and several Blood Serpents quickly escaped from their bodies.

"As expected." Qian Feng shook his head, raised his right hand, and the Golden Lightning in his hand rushed towards the Blood Serpents, burning them all up in moments.

He shook his head, looked at the bodies of the few people, and had no intention of leaving trouble. He pushed them with his soul power, and they all fell off the cliff. Only then did he calmly return to Star Luo City.
