Flying Clouds in Another World

Qin Cheng listened to Liu Feiyun's words, patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's the best!" Then he changed the subject and said to Liu Shihu, "I'll leave the young master's safety to you. The enemy this time is not friendly, and there will most likely be a strong cultivator. If I'm too busy to take care of the young master, you have to act accordingly!"

Liu Shihu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. I will never let anyone hurt the young master before I die."

"That's the best. I have two human skin masks here. If a strong enemy that is difficult to defeat appears, you two should quickly find an opportunity to leave the team, disguise yourself and go home on your own." Qin Cheng said as he took out two masks and handed them to the two.

Liu Feiyun took one and looked at it. It was an extremely exquisite mask, very rare and precious. He had actually come across this kind of mask a long time ago, and had also learned how to make it. After all, he had a master who was good at disguise. However, with his current skills, he could not make one as exquisite as the one in his hand.

Liu Feiyun carefully put away the mask and asked, "Uncle Qin! Do you still suspect that these pirates and bandits are not here to rob money, but are here for me?"

Qin Cheng nodded, his face solemn, and slowly said: "These mountain bandits may just be a coincidence, but those water bandits are definitely here for you. Nowadays, it is different from a few years ago, and some people are ready to make a move. I also received some rumors, so I rushed to pick you up. But you don't have to worry too much. After all, you are now in the middle stage of the cultivator realm, and you have the close protection of the Devouring Tiger of the Master Realm. As long as you are not targeted by the strong people in the Master Realm, ordinary warriors can't do anything to you. You just need to be careful and cautious, and you will be safe. This is why I gave you masks, so that you can go back on your own if something happens."

Liu Feiyun was still puzzled and asked, "Why would someone attack me? Is a short-lived person like me really worthy of their attack? Why didn't I encounter such a situation when I came here a few years ago?"

"It's just a different time now. Some of our Le'an Marquis's mortal enemies have always wanted to kill you, but some don't have the strength, while others have reservations. Now some people think the situation has changed, so they have fewer reservations, so they let go and openly rob and kill you. It seems that our Le'an Marquis's forbearance over the years has made some people look down on us!"

Qin Cheng had just finished speaking when he heard a scream, followed by the sound of fighting. It was obvious that the guards on guard outside were fighting with someone.

About a quarter of an hour later, the attacking enemy was repelled. This time, the attackers were a group of masked men in black, about twenty in number. However, the attackers were obviously all masters of the human level, and they all had the cultivation level of the master level. In this battle, the attacking enemy left behind seven or eight corpses, and Liu Feiyun's group had more than a dozen people killed in the battle, and eight seriously injured.

After only a few battles, most of the combat power had been lost, which made Liu Feiyun feel a little uneasy.

Afterwards, Qin Cheng gave an order, ordering the person in charge of the vehicle and boat to lead the cultivators and warriors to escort the wounded to the Green Willow Chamber of Commerce branch in the nearby town to seek assistance, while he and the remaining cultivators protected Liu Feiyun and continued to head north.

In this way, the team was reduced from dozens of people to a few people, and the action became more flexible and quick, and it was also more conducive to hiding traces.

In the following ten days, the group of six deliberately concealed their whereabouts and never encountered the enemy again.

On this day, they finally passed through Luzhou, crossed Mengzhou, and arrived at the border between Yunzhou and Mengzhou.

The Liu family's Green Willow Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly throughout the empire in recent years, but the focus of development is still in Yunzhou, and most of the Green Willow Guards relying on the Chamber of Commerce are also here. Once entering Yunzhou, you can get much more support than Luzhou and Mengzhou. Because of this, Liu Feiyun's nervous mood also relaxed.

"After entering Yunzhou, I can say that I have one foot in the door! I think those who want to take my life should give up!" Liu Feiyun said with some joy as he looked at the boundary marker at the junction of the two states.

Qin Cheng, however, poured a bucket of cold water on him: "Don't be careless! Those people are here with bad intentions this time. They will never give up just because Yunzhou is the sphere of influence of the Green Willow Chamber of Commerce. Don't let your guard down before returning to Anping County!"

Liu Feiyun nodded in agreement on the surface, but he disagreed in his heart.

The group avoided the main roads and cities and towns along the way, and took the mountain paths. In order not to expose their whereabouts, they did not change horses, but walked on foot. Fortunately, the six of them were all martial artists, so even if they walked, their speed was not too slow. However, they had to sleep in the open air along the way, and the hardships they experienced were hard to describe.

Now in Yunzhou, every county town and larger village has a Chamber of Commerce shop. These shops, large and small, form a huge intelligence and communication network, and also support the Green Willow Guards to continuously expand their sphere of influence.

The first thing the group did after entering Mengzhou was to find a store of the Chamber of Commerce and send the news back home so that they could mobilize people to come to support them. At the same time, the six people found horses and started riding on their way.

The six of them rode for another three days, and finally they arrived at the first team. This team was not very large, only seven people, but they were all masters, consisting of six masters and one master.

"Uncle Lu!" Liu Feiyun naturally recognized the leading cultivator, who was Lu Chengfeng, one of the three commanders of the Green Willow Guards.

"Young Master! Commander-in-Chief, has the journey been smooth?" Lu Chengfeng asked.

"It's not bad! We didn't encounter any ambush, and I don't know what those guys are planning!"

"I'm glad it went well! Maybe the intelligence was wrong! Maybe those guys were just bluffing!"

"I hope so! But we can't be careless! Let's get on the road as quickly as possible! The sooner we get home, the sooner we can feel at ease!" Qin Cheng waved his hand, and everyone continued on their way.

The thirteen riders galloped on their horses. Whenever they were about to run out of horsepower, they would find a nearby store of the Chamber of Commerce and change horses before continuing. On the seventh day after entering Yunzhou, they were close to the border of Anya County, and Anping County was under the jurisdiction of Anya County. At this time, the team received two more reinforcements, expanding to twenty-three people. There were already three cultivators, and the rest, except Liu Feiyun, were all cultivators. The strength of this team was enough to crush some sects and gangs that dominated the counties.

Pine Valley is a small valley at the border between Anya County and its neighboring counties. It is named after the many pine trees in the valley.

"After passing Songlin Valley, we have truly reached home!" Liu Feiyun was riding on the horse, his mind completely relaxed at this moment.

However, the sudden sound of breaking through the air broke his good mood, and Qin Cheng's face changed drastically. He exclaimed: "Young Master, be careful! It's a sniper crossbow!"
