485: Ba Dao Men?

"Can you ride a horse?" Fei Qingyan asked Xiao Feng.

There was a dedicated stable in the sect, after all, disciples couldn't always rely on their legs for travel; it was fine for short distances, but for long ones... relying solely on legs was simply too exhausting.

Even with light footwork, one couldn't always rely on it for travel; the consumption would be too great. What if they ran out of energy and encountered danger while resting? Wouldn't that be a direct 'Game Over'?

So, riding a horse was better.

The horses in this world were of very high quality; even ordinary horses could travel five to six hundred li a day, reaching speeds of 40-70 kilometers per hour.

Of course, the maximum speed couldn't be sustained for too long.

But at a medium, steady pace, they could run for quite a while.

The horses in this world had excellent stamina and physique.

"Uh... no," Xiao Feng shook his head and said.

"Then one horse will do," Fei Qingyan nodded, then grabbed Xiao Feng and got on the horse. Xiao Feng sat in front, and she sat behind him.

"Hup!" Fei Qingyan lightly shouted, and the horse began to run.

Xiao Feng felt the warmth behind him and the fragrance lingering at his nostrils.

He quietly closed the system store. The interface he had just opened showed 'Horsemanship Mastery: 1000 source points.'

Fei Qingyan took Xiao Feng and galloped towards Moxi City.

"Feng'er, on the road, speak less and observe more. This is your first time venturing into the martial world. Although I'm with you, your main purpose is to learn, including many small details that require attention. The martial world is dangerous, and you must always be on guard against others. Pay extra attention! And don't easily trust others," Fei Qingyan meticulously instructed Xiao Feng along the way.

"Yes, Master, I understand," Xiao Feng nodded in agreement, listening carefully to Fei Qingyan's teachings.

"Hmm?" Xiao Feng saw several people lying on the roadside ahead.

"Don't mind them, they're corpses. Probably dumped bodies or something else. Remember, when you're outside, don't be curious. Mind your own business," Fei Qingyan told Xiao Feng.

"Okay!" Xiao Feng nodded. As they passed, he glanced at the several corpses and saw the eyes of one of them actually move, looking at him.

He couldn't help but feel a chill, and at the same time, he deeply agreed with what his Master had said.

These corpses were actually fake! If a kind-hearted person went to check... they might be ambushed and killed, robbed of their money, and then their body would take their place, becoming a real corpse.

Damn it! What kind of people are these, so sinister!

They were deceiving those kind-hearted people who would check the situation or help bury them.

Or perhaps some 'greedy' people who wanted to see if there were any 'inheritances' and help collect them.

And these people often didn't have a good end.

It's not easy to be a good person. Sometimes, good intentions only bring disaster upon oneself. However, it's not your fault; it's this world's.

Xiao Feng hadn't expected that he would be taught such a lesson by this world so soon after setting out, before even going far.

It was a good thing he was with his Master. Otherwise, in that situation, he would most likely have gone to investigate and would have kindly 'collected the bodies' for them, at least to give them a proper burial.

As Xiao Feng sat, he started to feel a bit tired, so he relaxed his body slightly and leaned into Fei Qingyan's embrace.

...... Fei Qingyan's face flushed slightly, especially when galloping on the horse. She couldn't help but inwardly curse, 'This little rascal.'

"Stop! Stop!"

When they passed a fork in the road, they happened to hear chaotic hoofbeats from the other side, accompanied by several shouts.

Xiao Feng looked over. One person was riding a horse, running ahead, with four or five people on horses chasing behind.

"Friend up ahead! Help us stop this rogue! Our Ba Dao Sect will reward you handsomely!" The people behind saw Fei Qingyan and Xiao Feng ahead and immediately shouted.

The person being chased in front couldn't help but frown.

"Should we help?" Xiao Feng asked.

"Did you forget what I just said?" Fei Qingyan said to Xiao Feng.

"But, if we don't help, will that Ba Dao Sect cause trouble for us?" Xiao Feng asked with a frown.

"They might, but I also want to tell you that while you should consider all angles when doing things, you should also follow your heart. Considering all angles is just being cautious," Fei Qingyan said to Xiao Feng. "Moreover, Ba Dao Sect doesn't have a good reputation. You don't need to bother with them."

"Okay," Xiao Feng nodded.

The person in front had been wary of Fei Qingyan and Xiao Feng, but seeing that there was no action even when they passed by, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The group of people behind also looked displeased and continued their pursuit.

"Let's go," Fei Qingyan shook her head slightly and continued forward.

For the next ten-odd minutes, nothing happened.

Xiao Feng also breathed a slight sigh of relief, after all, how long had they been out? Things kept happening one after another.

He suddenly felt that the outside world was really dangerous! Too chaotic!

Thump-thump-thump~

Another round of hoofbeats came from behind them.

Turning their heads, they saw it was the same group of people from before, galloping towards them.

"Trouble's here," Fei Qingyan said, shaking her head slightly.

"Huh?" Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment. "What's going on?"

Fei Qingyan chuckled lightly, "Some people just don't know their place. They're probably used to being arrogant on a daily basis. I don't even know where this Ba Dao Sect is from."

There were countless sects in this world, and every day, some sects were destroyed, but new ones were also established every day.

Fei Qingyan couldn't remember so many, and this Ba Dao Sect happened to be one she hadn't heard of.

But so arrogant...

"Stop!" The few people behind caught up and surrounded Fei Qingyan.

Fei Qingyan sat there calmly. "May I ask what business you have?"

"Tsk tsk! I didn't look closely before, but now I see this woman is so beautiful! Ha! Is this young man your kept gigolo? You're really lucky! But how about you try our skills?" The few men looked at Fei Qingyan, their eyes lighting up, and then said with lewd smiles.

Xiao Feng frowned. This person spoke obscenities, he deserved to die!

And most importantly, these few people hadn't even reached the Xiantian realm, where did they get such courage!

Before Fei Qingyan could speak, Xiao Feng directly soared into the air.

"How dare you!" The five members of the Ba Dao Sect who surrounded them immediately roared in anger. Seeing that Xiao Feng actually dared to attack first, they all drew the large sabers from their waists. "You dare to resist! You've provoked our Ba Dao Sect! Die!"

The three Ba Dao Sect members in front immediately soared into the air and flew towards Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng's gaze sharpened, and the internal energy within his body circulated.

He suddenly swept out a leg.

Bang!

Extremely fast, in an instant, it kicked the chest of the person in front of him.

Xiao Feng's feet crossed, performing a mid-air split, directly kicking the blades of the two people beside him.

The powerful force and internal energy directly snapped the blades. Then Xiao Feng's body spun, his legs like a whirlwind sweeping across the faces of the two people.

All of this happened in a flash of lightning.

From Fei Qingyan's perspective, it was Xiao Feng flying out, the other three meeting him, Xiao Feng's legs moving like afterimages. Only a flash of green light was seen, and the first person flew backward.

Then green lights flashed continuously.

Blades snapped, people tumbled.

Thud! Thud! Thud!
