Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

A dull collision sound was heard again, and the snake demon suddenly felt a powerful force on his arm, and he had to step back several steps.

At this moment, it was extremely angry and humiliated. It raised its head and looked angrily in the direction where the stone came from.

It turned out that on a nearby turtle carriage, a young man was looking at this side calmly, shaking another similar stone back and forth in his hand.

However, the girl in the red dress had instantly moved into the wall surrounding the other girl, and was able to relax with a sense of relief.

Although its actions were disrupted twice in a row, the snake demon's inner anger had reached its peak and it suddenly opened its mouth.

It erupted with a dark, sinister air, attacking the three girls who were in a protective state.

However, at this critical moment, Bao Buping's cold voice came from the nearby turtle-shaped mount:
"How dare you do this!"

As the loud shout was heard, a dazzling white light suddenly shot out from the carriage.

After flipping for a while, it actually attacked the snake demon fiercely. It turned out to be a crystal clear sword only a few inches in size.

The snake demon, who was concentrating on breathing out poisonous gas, saw this scene and his face instantly turned pale.

He immediately threw the bone spear in his hand towards the turtle-shaped mount in the distance, and at the same time quickly twisted his body and disappeared into the sand.

When it realized that there were practitioners, it lost all courage to fight and chose to immediately use escape technique to flee from there.

The thrown bone spear was pointed directly at Yan Yun.

Apparently, the monster tried to kill the mortal who had ruined its plan before leaving to vent its hatred.

Yan Yun witnessed the bone spear that turned into black light and rushed towards him, but a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Instead of using the stone in his hand to block the spear, he just stood there quietly without moving.

As a result, there was a deafening crash, and the bone spear accurately pierced Yan Yun's body.

The whole person was knocked away more than ten feet without any resistance, and fell on a container on a giant turtle, making a huge dent.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud clattering sound, and a pile of weapons with flashing cold light poured out from the container.

"what"

Seeing Yan Yun suffer such a misfortune, the three girls couldn't help but scream, and Bao Buping's slightly surprised whisper was heard in the carriage.

Then, the small sword drew an arc in the nearby sky and flew straight back into the carriage.

At this time, the girl in the red dress and others hurriedly waved the small flags in their hands, dispelled the surrounding protective shields, and then ran towards the damaged container.

"Brother Yan, are you...are you okay?"

The red-shirted girl who was rescued by Yan Yun was filled with deep gratitude to Yan Yun. She stood under the giant turtle and called out anxiously.

Xiang'er and the girl in white also showed a trace of worry.

"Fortunately, my life is safe. But my body can no longer move at the moment."

Yan Yun's voice with a wry smile came from the container.

Hearing this, the tension in the three girls' hearts eased a little.

They looked at each other, then worked together to temporarily drag Yan Yun out of the container, and then placed him steadily on the back of the giant turtle.

"Brother Yan, thank you for saving my life!"

The girl in red thanked Yan Yun with tears of gratitude.

"No need to be polite. It's just a piece of cake! Besides, this attack is not enough to hurt me. I just may need to rest for a while."

Yan Yun smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.

On the other side of the giant turtle, the carriage door suddenly opened, and Bao Buping walked out slowly from the car with a graceful and elegant figure.

In just a few breaths, he arrived beside Yan Yun, tightly grasped one of Yan Yun's wrists, and injected a stream of pure spiritual energy into it.

"Don't worry, the Vajra Sutra is indeed one of the five great body-refining secrets. Now that I have cultivated it to the third level, I have become quite powerful."

"The magic weapon of that monster was not able to hurt Mr. Yan at all. It was just that when Mr. Yan threw the stone just now, it hit his meridians, causing his old injuries to relapse. However, he only needs to rest for a period of time and he will be back to normal."

There was a flash of surprise in the Taoist's eyes, and then he spoke with a happy face.

"Really?! That's great!"

When the red-shirted girl heard these words, her mood became bright and joyful.

"Haha, how could I deceive you?"

"On the contrary, the formation called 'Small Rejuvenation' that you set up has now stopped functioning, and the situation seems to have become unfavorable to you."

Nan Qizi said with a smile, but he glanced at the formation diagram that had lost its light, his eyes full of deep meaning.

Hearing this, the three girls' expressions suddenly changed. They looked around hurriedly and found that they had lost the support of the "Small Rejuvenation" formation.

The guards were once again exhausted and even suffered casualties.

"Oh no! We only have one copy of the 'Small Rejuvenation' formation diagram."

"We have already exhausted the power of all the flags in order to fight against the snake demon. Right now, we can no longer drive this magic circle."

The girl in white exclaimed.

Her companions looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

“This is really embarrassing!”

The Taoist priest said with a frown.

Just as they were discussing countermeasures, the shouting around them suddenly stopped, and then the guards on the turtle car burst into excited cheers at the same time.

The girls were stunned for a moment, and they turned around to look again. They saw the giant insects that were fighting with the guards jumping out of the carriage one after another.

Fleeing in all directions, the originally orderly swarm of insects instantly became chaotic, no longer seeing its original brutal appearance.

"Success! It must be Sister Liu'er and the others who successfully defeated the insect demon."

The girl in green clothes said happily, and her companions also looked happy.

Sure enough, not long after, dozens of war horses emerged from the yellow dust in the distance and galloped towards the convoy.

These knights were none other than the warriors riding giant wolves who had previously broken into the Zerg swarm. Originally there were more than fifty of them, but now there were only about thirty left.

Each of them was covered in wounds and blood, and it was not difficult to imagine how fierce the battle had been. These knights urged their giant wolves to return to the caravan in a flash.

The sturdy man with a scar on his face threw something to the ground without hesitation.

It turned out to be a huge insect head, and the whole body was golden yellow. It was obviously not an ordinary sandworm.

The girl in the blue dress took the blood-red tiger and released it safely back to its original place.

When they saw Yan Yun, the three girls and Nan Qizi standing around Yan Yun, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces.

At this moment, a guard happened to see what had just happened. He immediately stepped forward and told the two soldiers what had happened in detail.

The sturdy man with scars on his face was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"It seems that I, Zhang, was not wrong about him. Brother Yan is indeed very powerful. He just joined our caravan and saved Quan'er."

"If not, I would be too ashamed to face you if something unexpected happened."

When the girl in the blue dress heard this, her eyes towards Yan Yun immediately became extremely friendly.

Yan Yun just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Now that they have successfully repelled this group of sandworm beasts, the entire team naturally needs to be reorganized.

So they rested there for most of the day, and it was not until the next morning that the convoy set out again.

The rest of the journey seemed particularly peaceful, and we continued on for another three days.

The convoy finally walked out of the vast Qingluo Desert, and a vast grassland appeared before their eyes.

The grassland was extremely flat, which greatly increased the convoy's speed. The giant tortoises began to take vigorous steps, running forward as fast as lightning.

Yan Yun, who was lying in the carriage unable to move, suddenly realized that the laughter and joy that he could hear in the convoy had disappeared without a trace the moment he set foot on the grassland.

Not only that, the four women in the carriage became nervous and uneasy as they stared at the green grass outside the window, revealing a hint of fear.

Yan Yun sat opposite the four women with his back against one end of the carriage, and naturally took in all the uneasiness revealed on the women's faces.

The night was long and the moon was bright. He had already cast countless glances at the vast grassland outside the car window.

However, the whole process remained calm, as if it was just ordinary grass accumulation, with no sign of anything unusual.

Despite this, Yan Yun still felt a little confused, but his expression remained normal, without showing any abnormality or giving any verbal hints.

After all, he knew very little about the spiritual world, so he didn't want to appear too suspicious.

However, in the past few days, the attitudes of these four women towards Yan Yun seemed to have become quite friendly.

Especially the girl in red named Quan'er, who was particularly keen on calling Yan Yun "Brother Yan".

Although Yan Yun felt quite uncomfortable about this, he did not respond overly coldly because the other party was still young.

It is for this reason that he has had relatively more communication with the girl named Quan'er recently.

Yan Yun did not directly ask about matters related to the spiritual world, but instead obtained a lot of information by communicating with the staff of Tiandong Trading Company.

After an in-depth conversation, he learned that the "Madam" they were talking about was actually the person in charge of Tiandong Trading Company, which was responsible for managing more than a dozen cities.

She is also the daughter-in-law of the owner of the Tiandong Trading Company, and people usually respectfully call her "Mrs. Fang".

It is understood that the owner of Tiandong Trading Company has three sons, and Mrs. Fang is the wife of the second son.

They had a deep love for each other, but unfortunately, the husband passed away in an accident more than 20 years ago, leaving behind two children, a boy and a girl.

Therefore, all the affairs that should have been shared by the couple now fall on Mrs. Fang.

These four women were adopted by Madam Fang as personal maids since childhood and were deeply loved by her. The relationship between them was more like a combination of half daughter and half maid.

This time, Mrs. Fang came to a remote area like Anyuan City in person, partly because Anyuan City purchased the goods at a high price.

On the other hand, her youngest son was found to have spiritual roots since childhood and has already been enrolled in a certain immortal cultivation sect.

And news came from Anyuan City that something seemed to require Mrs. Fang's assistance.

Out of concern for her beloved son, Mrs. Fang not only went out in person, but also decisively abandoned the convoy shortly after departure and led some of the personnel to Anyuan City first.

In her opinion, since the convoy has a large number of people and is equipped with several cultivators, there shouldn't be any problems under normal circumstances.

However, what she didn't expect was that she was attacked by a low-level insect demon and a snake demon in the Qingluo Desert, which almost caused a disaster.

When Yan Yun heard this, he couldn't help but start asking indirectly about the background of the owner of Tiandong Trading Company.

After all, owning such a huge business empire is not something that ordinary people can easily achieve.

However, the answer he received shocked Yan Yun again.

It turned out that the owner of this business was actually a mortal with no spiritual roots and had never practiced any physical training techniques. So how did he manage to control such a huge business empire?

Yan Yun was full of doubts, so he raised this question implicitly, but the girl in red was also confused and said that she didn't know about it.

Seeing this situation, Yan Yun decided not to continue asking questions and put the matter aside for the time being.

As time went by, although Yan Yun learned some things during this period, his inner doubts increased instead, making him feel quite troubled.

This grassland seemed to be even more vast than the Qingluo Desert. The convoy had been driving for a whole month but still had not been able to get out of this vast land.

During this period, the guards in the convoy and the knights on horseback were all like frightened birds, cautious and alert.

Even the few practitioners who had been staying in the carriage and had not come out, flew away from the turtle carriage every once in a while and took turns circling in the air to keep watch.

The expressions of these practitioners known as "Kuaishan" were also extremely solemn, and they also showed an attitude of not daring to take it lightly.

Although everyone was in a state of emergency, it made people feel nervous.

However, after the team had been traveling on the grassland for half a month, they finally got rid of the troubles of this dangerous area and a relatively flat hilly area appeared ahead.

The tense nerves of the team members were relaxed at this moment. Not only did the practitioners return to the carriages, but the guards also immediately resumed their usual cheerful conversations.

Even the several underage women in the Yanyun sedan finally breathed a sigh of relief the moment they drove away from the grassland.

The girl in emerald green even pounded her chest lightly and said with a smile on her face:

"At least I didn't disturb the wolves on the grassland. Although this is not my first time crossing the grassland, I always feel nervous every time." (End of this chapter)
