Chapter 563: Chapter 142: Dongfang Ling, Investigate the World Thoroughly! [Ten Thousand Words]

As they walked further, the more prosperous the cities became, and the more densely populated they were.

From the poverty and rags of the borderlands, it gradually transformed into a scene where everyone dressed splendidly. Even those who seemed very poor wore clean clothes.

Everyone’s face was filled with smiles.

Tiny cities were under construction one after another; vast fields spread out, lush green, nurturing life and hope.

It was already May.

The grass was growing, orioles were flying, the mountain peaks were lush and green.

Even the air was filled with the fragrant scent of vitality.

Walking on the hopeful fields, Fang Che felt a bit intoxicated.

Indeed, as one approached the central area where the higher-ups lived, even the lives of ordinary people were greatly influenced, with a strong sense of happiness.

"If only the whole world were like this, how wonderful it would be."

Fang Che sighed in his heart all the way, hoping.

...

Wide, straight roads crisscrossed, with a carriage speeding like the wind beside them, the ride inside almost without any bumpiness.

"Ahead is Sanchuan City, past Sanchuan, after a long stretch, is Kan Ke City where the headquarters is located."

A day and a half later, An Ruoxing pointed to the distance, vaguely visible high above the clouds, was a large city.

Resplendent in the sunlight, it blazed with golden light.

Ye Meng widened her eyes, thinking that the huge city in front of them was Kan Ke City, to her surprise, it was not.

In fact, she wasn’t the only one.

Fang Che was equally surprised.

Poor Mr. Fang, having lived two lifetimes, had never been to the headquarters.

Always struggling and fighting in the wilderness, occasionally entering a slightly larger city and feeling: Wow! This city is so prosperous, the legendary Kan Ke City can’t be much better, can it?

It’s said that being a bumpkin in both lives—this refers to Mr. Fang.

Without seeing it with his own eyes, he really thought the Dongfang Strategist was using a golden hoe.

The Old Man Shen said: "Don’t be fooled by how big these cities are, there are many wealthy and influential people inside, and there are even more people with high cultivation levels, prominent families stand tall, however, there are very few of those legendary prodigal sons who bully men and women."

An Ruoxing smiled faintly: "They’ve all been beaten before, if they offend someone they can’t afford to offend, the whole family would be ruined, generations of effort destroyed in an instant, who would dare to act up?"

Fang Che asked curiously: "Can’t be, is it so peaceful?"

Thinking that if it were truly so peaceful and kind, it indeed would be worthy of the Guardians’ generations of bloody sacrifice, he couldn’t help but feel a bit comforted inside.

Zhao Shanhe said with a somber face, "Let’s hurry, eat a meal in the city, from here to the headquarters, looking at the mountain can kill the horse, there’s still some time to go."

"Alright."

The seven people moved rapidly towards the city gate.

In the distance, they suddenly heard the urgent sound of hooves.

Their faces changed slightly, frowning: So urgent? The horses so fast?

Then they saw a team of pure white horses rushing out of the city gate with lightning speed without slowing down.

A group of ten horses, magnificently majestic.

Ten young lads dressed in splendid garments, laughing as they rode out.

Dressed splendidly, riding recklessly.

Followed by a large contingent of guards.

The pedestrians on the road were in a panic and quickly gave way. A woman holding a child was a bit slow to dodge, and a whip lashed her and the child to the roadside, leaving a deep bloodstain on her delicate face, but she dared not express her anger.

The Old Man Shen’s face turned black.

He just said that such places couldn’t possibly have prodigal sons, and then a whole group appeared!

This was more precise than slapping a face on purpose.

...

Just as they were feeling annoyed, the horse team rushed from the continent like a whirlwind, getting closer and closer, until they met face to face.

The leading youth caught sight of the fairy-like beauty Ye Meng at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, pulling the reins forcefully, his strong horse reared up.

Seven out of the ten made the same move.

Then they stopped.

A few youths jumped off their horses, their steps agile, leisurely walking over, very dashing and elegant.

Their robes were all made of luxurious materials, at a glance, it was clear they had authority, wealth, influence, and martial power.

Their target was clear: Ye Meng!

Zhao Shanhe, An Ruoxing, and the Old Man Shen all shared a collective black face.

They were all old Jianghu veterans, how could they not see what these guys intended to do?

Fang Che smiled faintly, said meaningfully: "Indeed, under the feet of the Guardian Headquarters, there’s no shortage of new things."

In his voice, a murderous aura had already begun to spread.

The killing intent arose!

As for these seven guys approaching, Fang Che didn’t take them seriously at all.

Indeed, these were definitely sons of the Shi family, and their family backgrounds were probably very good.

If Fang Che were to compare family backgrounds, he definitely couldn’t match them, far too lacking. However... Mr. Fang was now the beloved treasure of both the righteous and evil paths in the whole world.

Who are we afraid of?

The leading youth’s eyes were filled with amazement, looking at Ye Meng beside Fang Che, not even bothering to glance at Zhao Shanhe. It seemed in his eyes, apart from beauties, there was no room for anything else.

He had never seen such a beauty.

Simply heavenly with no equal on earth.

Needless to say, Ye Meng was originally a peerless beauty, after such a long time, first cultivating herself, slowly undergoing the transformation of washing marrow and experiencing different levels of cultivation.

Then being treated daily to Fang Che’s Infinite Scripture clearing her meridians, her body had become a perfectly conditioned physique.

She even took the Elixir Pills sent by Dongfang Sansan.

Then she ate Xue Fu Xiao’s Yin Yang Fruit.

And she carried the Heavenly Heart Jade from Yin Shen Palace every day, constantly expelling impurities.
