Even though He Cangming and his group were going to flatten Mount God of Heaven, there wasn't any tense atmosphere in the group. Instead, it was like they were going on a spring outing as they chatted and laughed along the way.

The eight outer sect disciples who were chosen were even praised He Junjie along the way. They praised this arrogant young master so much that he felt like he was loved and respected by the disciples.

It was supposed to be a two-day-and-one-night journey to Mount God of Heaven, but the ten of them walked for seven days. Half of the time, the eight lackeys went out to find something fun for He Junjie. If they weren't afraid that Yu Sisi would run away, they would have been able to walk for half a month.

When He Junjie appeared in the small town under the Mount God of Heaven in his beautiful clothes, Xiong Ji and Yu Sisi had already stayed in the inn for eight days. The regular customers in the inn would greet the two of them when they saw them. It was because they had dealt with a small beast tide for the small town previously. They were their benefactors.

Xiong Ji and Yu Sisi sat at a small table in the corner of the inn's lobby. The waiter greeted them and gave them a plate of pickles that he had made himself. His pickles were famous and could be considered a signature appetizer in their inn.

Xiong Ji thanked them and ordered two bowls of plain noodles for him and Yu Sisi. The two of them looked at each other and sighed in unison, "Sigh."

"Is there no one left in the He family or are they scared? Why isn't anyone here after so many days?!"

"Could it be that master scared him and didn't dare to come back after he returned? It can't be. Master didn't do anything, why this He Zhao is so cowardly?"

Xiong Ji answered his own question with a conflicted look on his face. He thought to himself, "There is actually someone who is as cowardly as me." After all, he had also been scared by his master before and ran far away.

"That's impossible. If Yu, He Zhao doesn't even have the courage to do something like this, he wouldn't have betrayed the main family. Let's wait patiently." Yu Sisi was also puzzled, and her brows were tightly knitted together. However, she still decided to stay put. Right now, this small town was only a day's journey away from their Mount God of Heaven. If they really encountered the He family's main force, they would be able to return in time.

They didn't know if their master's anger had subsided or not. Now that they didn't see any traces of the He family, they didn't dare to return. The two of them hung their heads in dejection. The waiter didn't find it strange when he saw the two of them like this. He placed the noodles on the table for them and said, "Enjoy your meal." Then, he flung the cloth on his shoulder and went to receive the other guests.

"Forget it, let's eat the noodles! A man is iron, a meal is steel. If we don't eat, we'll be famished."

Xiong Ji quite liked the craftsmanship of this inn, and the amount given was sufficient. He picked up his chopsticks and buried his head in his food.

Yu Sisi glanced at the special large bowl that the inn had given Xiong Ji. Xiong Ji was eating so much that his face was almost buried in the bowl. Yu Sisi really did not expect that Xiong Ji was a foodie.

She shook her head helplessly and picked up her chopsticks to slowly eat as well. However, she kept thinking about He family's movements. What was going on? They were nowhere to be seen. Could it be that they had an accident? But on second thought, it was good that they had an accident. Yu Sisi's mood instantly improved.

Yu Sisi ate her noodles faster and looked out of the window from time to time. The streets of the small town had already started to wake up.

It was early autumn, and the morning was a little cold. The thin and faint sunlight did not bring any warmth. Many pedestrians were wearing thin shirts. The various breakfast shops had already begun their busy day. The freshly baked breakfast was placed in a large drawer. When the lid was lifted, the steaming hot air blurred the face of the seller, and they couldn't see the customers' faces. But this did not prevent them from doing business.

"Freshly baked buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, and Xiaolongbao, come and have a taste."

"Juicy steamed buns filled with soup, don't miss it!"

"Fresh wild beef chili soup, come and have a bowl to drive away the cold!"

"Fried boar meat! I just killed a wild boar, so I guarantee its meat will be tender and juicy! If it's not fresh, it's free!"

The sounds of hawking on the streets rose and fell, and there were always pedestrians attracted by the sound. They walked to the stall and asked for a breakfast to fill their empty stomachs.

There were also some naughty children who shouted that they should not wash their faces and brush their teeth. He jumped out of the windows of their houses and squeezed into the crowded street barefoot. He was jumping up and down like monkeys. He was very fast and could not be caught at all. His mother was so angry that she stood on the street and cursed in her heart, "Brat, come back for me! You naughty monkey, wait for your father to come back. Watch your skin carefully!"

"Yo! Yang Xun doesn't wear any clothes and doesn't brush his teeth. He's so sloppy!"

There were always acquaintances in the crowd who knew this family. A man grabbed the back of his collar and picked him up like a little chick. He loudly ridiculed Yang Xun. When the other children who were lazing around at home and washing up heard this, they all ran to the window to look.

"Brother Xun of the Yang family actually doesn't like to be clean, eh --"

"Yang Xun is acting like a hoodlum. He left the house without any clothes on."

"Oh oh! Brother Xun is going to be taught a lesson again."

Being ridiculed by a group of children, the nine-year-old Yang Xun was extremely angry. His face was completely red as he struggled in mid-air like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. He was fierce, but he did not scare anyone at all.

After being ridiculed for a full incense stick, Yang Xun's eyes turned red. Uncle Lin is a bad person! He felt so wronged that I was ridiculed by a group of underlings. However, he did not cry. He was a man, and a man would not shed tears even if he shed blood!

However, his tears fell like rain the next second because his mother chased after him and gave him some love beating.

"Wu Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!"

The cries of the little boy instantly resounded throughout the long street. The angry scolding of the child's mother and the laughter of the other children followed closely behind.

Yu Sisi retracted her gaze. This kid, Yang Xun, was crying again. What a crybaby. Even when she was his age, she would not cry on the street so shamelessly.

The reason why Yu Sisi knew Yang Xun was that when they were about to reach the small town, Yu Sisi did not want to fly on a sword ostentatiously. Hence, Xiong Ji changed back to his original form -- a three-meter-tall black bear and let Yu Sisi sit on his shoulder. The two of them were walking carefully when they suddenly felt that someone was spying on them. They were shocked, thinking that He Zhao had helpers at the foot of the mountain and wanted to ambush them.

Yu Sisi thought to herself, "This He Zhao is indeed cunning. He actually thought of ambushing them at the foot of the mountain, but we really can't touch them now. If one of us were to kill them, who would go to the He family to report it. Moreover, I actually can't sense the spiritual power of the other party. Could it be an elder of the He family?"

While Yu Sisi was bewildered, she secretly sent a voice transmission to Xiong Ji, telling him not to act rashly. An arrow was shot from a big tree, but the low speed and strength of the arrow, it didn't even touch Xiong Ji's hair. Yu Sisi was astonished. This person was blind!

In fact, the person shooting the arrow wasn't blind, nor was he an elder of the He family. He wasn't even a cultivator. He was just an ordinary hunter who lived by hunting wild beasts at the foot of the mountain. He would leave far away as soon as he saw a magical beast that had already gained intelligence. But today, Yang Jian held a bow and arrow in his hand. He looked at the delicate woman who was being held by the black bear that had clearly gained intelligence. He gritted his teeth and approached her.
