368: Chapter 368 The Woman in the Carriage, Kou Mo and Sha Kou

"Deng, deng, deng..."

Right at this moment!

A burst of hoofbeats, booming like thunder, galloped rapidly from afar, kicking up yellow sand that veiled the heavens wherever they passed.

Lin Ran looked back and saw soldiers dressed in fine armor, their bodies filled with a murderous aura, galloping past him one by one.

This group was quite formidable. The strongest among them was a powerhouse at the Heavenly Palace Realm Third Heaven, who silently followed behind an exquisite and luxurious carriage as if on high alert.

Inside the carriage, a woman with a beautiful appearance, silky black hair, dressed in an elegant long dress, and an aura as warm as jade, slightly shifted her gaze and glanced at Lin Ran.

"What an ethereal man, truly a rare sight in this lifetime!"

"But why is he wandering alone in this Koumo Desert?"

Seeing Lin Ran's Face, the woman's eyes brightened slightly as she murmured.

The reason Koumo Desert was called Koumo Desert was because a massive number of Sand Bandits gathered here.

These Sand Bandits set themselves up as kings, occupying this land of yellow sand. Anyone passing through would be on edge, fearing they would be targeted by these Sand Bandits.

Once targeted by these Sand Bandits, at best, one would lose all their wealth; at worst, one would lose their life to the Nine Netherworlds.

"Granny Yue, how about we take this person along?"

The woman asked, looking at the old woman beside her who was resting with her eyes closed.

The old woman didn't even bother to open her eyes and said indifferently:

"Young Miss, since this person dares to wander alone in this Koumo Desert, he either possesses extraordinary abilities or is likely a lure."

"Perhaps the moment we stop, Sand Bandits will spring out from all directions and surround us."

"Therefore, it's not that we don't want to help, but that we cannot. All I care about is your precious safety, Young Miss."

"Granny Yue is just stingy! Looking at him, he doesn't seem like a bad person at all!"

The woman pouted and said.

"There are millions upon millions of beautiful skins in this world, but who can know the Soul within?"

"As the saying goes, 'you may know a person's Face but not their heart.' In this Koumo Desert, it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. We should just focus on protecting ourselves."

Granny Yue opened her bright eyes and reached out to rub the top of the woman's head, a doting smile hanging on the corners of her mouth.

"Hmph!"

The woman crossed her arms and turned her head away petulantly.

But she also knew that what Granny Yue said was not without reason.

Koumo Desert was filled with danger everywhere. It was indeed better to avoid trouble, and everyone wandering through Koumo Desert could only pray for their own luck.

"Sigh, I hope he can leave this place alive."

The woman sighed in her heart and murmured to herself.

"Clang, clang, clang!!!"

Suddenly!

Just as the army was advancing, indestructible iron chains soaked in magical power burst out one after another from the thick yellow sand.

The warhorses couldn't dodge in time and were tripped by the chains, crashing heavily to the ground, throwing the soldiers into chaos.

"Sand Bandits!!! Protect the Young Miss!!!"

At the rear of the carriage, the general at the Heavenly Palace Realm Third Heaven roared loudly. He then galloped forward, a murderous long saber appearing in his hand.

"Swish!"

He brandished the long saber and slashed out. A blood-colored blade light sliced through the Void Realm, bringing with it a string of blood droplets.

"Puff, puff, puff!"

The figures of Sand Bandits manifested from the yellow sand, their bodies sliced in half by the blood-colored blade light, blood splattering everywhere.

"Netherworld Floating Heaven Twin Fiends Array!"

A sharp voice suddenly exploded between heaven and earth. Two phantoms with towering Evil Qi, ten thousand feet tall, with eyes like blood moons and blue Faces with protruding fangs, appeared between heaven and earth.

One phantom held a nine-layered pagoda. Its eyes bulged out as it raised its large hand. The nine-layered pagoda rapidly grew massive and soared into the sky, hovering between heaven and earth while emitting a towering Evil Qi that veiled the world.

Under the influence of this dense Evil Qi, the strength of the soldiers was greatly reduced, and those with weaker cultivation died instantly as the Evil Qi entered their bodies.

The other phantom held a long sword, which was also flowing with dense Evil Qi. Every swing was accompanied by towering Evil Qi, truly slaughtering people like grass!

"Damn it! It's the Netherworld Twin Fiends! Why would these two suddenly appear here!?"

Granny Yue's Face changed drastically, a chill running down her spine, and her hands couldn't stop trembling.

The Netherworld Twin Fiends were top-tier experts even in Koumo Desert, where masters gathered.

Both of them were at the Heavenly Palace Realm Seventh Heaven and were proficient in the method of Dual Cultivation, so their cultivation speed was extremely fast.

But precisely because they were proficient in Dual Cultivation and were each other's Dao Companion, they usually Cultivated and improved together in their manor, rarely showing their Faces.

But now, they just happened to encounter the Netherworld Twin Fiends while passing through Koumo Desert. This was simply the worst luck imaginable!!

"Granny Yue, what should we do now?!"

The woman asked anxiously.

She had naturally heard of the reputation of the Netherworld Twin Fiends.

She knew very well that once she was captured by the Netherworld Twin Fiends, the consequences would be unthinkable!

"Don't panic, Young Miss. After all, we are from the Lin Mansion. No matter how formidable the Netherworld Twin Fiends are, they will likely have to give some Face to the Lin Mansion and won't dare to act against us."

"If all else fails, we can just give them some toll money."

Granny Yue forced herself to calm down and said in a deep voice.

She stepped out of the carriage and looked at the man and woman standing in the Void Realm ahead with indifferent and playful expressions. After taking a deep breath, she said:

"I have long heard of the great names of the Netherworld Twin Fiends. Today, seeing you is truly better than hearing about you a hundred times!"

"We are members of the Lin Mansion, urgently returning to the capital. I hope you two can be merciful and let us pass."

"We are willing to provide sufficient toll money!"

"Sufficient toll money? Ming'er, what do you think?"

The man gave a wicked smile and said.

"Hmm~ Interesting."

Ming Sha lightly tapped her index finger against her vermilion lips and said with a half-smile.

"I didn't expect you all to be from the Lin Mansion. That is truly disrespectful of me. My husband and I can let you leave this place, and as for the toll money, we don't need it either."

"However, you only need to give my husband and me two 'toys,' and we will let you leave. How about it?"

Granny Yue's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she asked, "I wonder what toys Ming Sha is referring to?"

The smile on Ming Sha's lips undoubtedly grew even wider as she said:

"As for these two 'toys,' one is him, for me to play with, and the other is the person sitting in the carriage, for my husband to play with!"

"As long as you are willing to hand over these two 'toys' to my husband and me, the rest of you can naturally leave this place unharmed. How about it?"

Ming Sha pointed her finger at the general with the Heavenly Palace Realm Third Heaven cultivation, then pointed at Lin Qingmeng sitting in the carriage, the smile on her lips becoming increasingly playful.
