Chapter 542
Chapter 542 - Eight Remoteness Dragon King
The next day, as the sun was rising, a small troop of cavalrymen stormed out of the city.
In the group, other than Tang Huan and Feng Ming, there was another Martial Lord of the eighth step, two Stage Seven Martial Master s and fifty Stage Six Martial Master s.
These fifty-three were all sent by Luo Lang to escort Tang Huan to the Furious Billows Castle.
What surprised Tang Huan was that the Ten Thousand Generals Manor had been extremely calm last night, and even until today, there was nothing abnormal. This made Tang Huan wonder if he was overthinking things. However, when Tang Huan saw Luo Lang again, he confirmed his judgement.
Therefore, facing Luo Lang's kindness, Tang Huan only rejected a few words before agreeing with ease.
He wanted to see what Luo Lang was up to.
"Tap tap, tap tap …"
The sound of hooves trampling rang out incessantly.
This small team of fifty-five people was dashing quickly through the rolling fields like a small boat drifting in the waves, bobbing up and down, appearing and disappearing.
Almost two hours had already passed unknowingly.
"Senior Zhang Tang, it's been so long since we've seen the Furious Billows Castle. Have we headed in the wrong direction?"
The one he called "Zhang Tang" was the thin old man from the House of Ten Thousand Generals. He was also a Martial Lord of the eighth step, and should have only broken through for a few years.
"There's no mistake. Master, rest assured."
Zhang Tang whipped his horse and turned to look at Tang Huan with a smile, explaining, "To the south and west of Furious Billows Castle, there are Three Kingdoms army deployed everywhere, and Master, you have to go to the northwest of Furious Billows Castle, so, you have to take a small detour, in order to avoid the soldiers and soldiers of Human Clan, if not, you will have to be stopped and questioned by the guards and patrols at all times, which is truly too troublesome."
"So that's how it is."
Tang Huan nodded, suddenly pulling on the reins, the horse stopped, its front hooves raised, releasing a loud whizzing sound.
Zhang Tang and the rest did not expect Tang Huan to stop all of a sudden, and were slightly shocked, retracting the reins and reining in the horses, the sound of the horses' hooves resonating one after another. After a while, the entire shallow canyon finally became quiet, and one by one, stunned gazes landed on Tang Huan.
"Master Ye Ming, you … …"
Both of Zhang Tang's legs lightly patted his horse's belly, causing the fine steed to stagger towards Tang Huan. Zhang Tang's thin face revealed a hint of surprise.
Tang Huan laughed leisurely: "Senior Zhang Tang, what I dislike the most is going around in circles, so, I feel that it is better to change my direction and head straight for the Furious Billows Castle. With my Weapon Refining Master's identity badge, even if I am stopped, how long can it take?"
"This..."
Zhang Tang frowned, as if he was hesitating.
Tang Huan said with a beaming smile: "Senior, are you in a difficult situation?"
Feng Ming's gaze quickly swept across Tang Huan and Zhang Tang. After being together with Tang Huan for so long, she was able to tell that Tang Huan had probably found something, but now was not the time to ask.
In the span of a second, although her face remained expressionless, her pair of beautiful eyes were fixated on Zhang Tang's face, as if she wanted to find some clues from it.
"Master must be joking."
Zhang Tang smiled awkwardly, "Master Ye Ming, our current route is actually the most secret, we will not be stopped by the allied army of the three Kingdoms, nor will we be noticed by the Demon Clan. We can quietly approach the castle, if we change our route, then it will be very troublesome to approach the castle."
"It's fine." Tang Huan waved his hand and laughed, "What I dislike the most is going around in circles, but what I'm least afraid of is trouble."
"..."
Zhang Tang was stunned, and when the other Martial Warriors in the group heard Tang Huan's words, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. Feng Ming however, covered her red lips and chuckled softly. She could also feel that Zhang Tang was hoping that their team would follow the route they had planned out.
"Senior Zhang Tang, let's go." Tang Huan shook his reins and turned around.
"Master Ye Ming..."
Zhang Tang shouted anxiously, but before he could finish, Tang Huan stopped and turned to Zhang Tang with a smile: "It looks like we won't be able to leave."
"Huh?"
Hearing Tang Huan's words, Zhang Tang and the dozens of surrounding Martial Warriors s were stunned. Feng Ming raised her eyebrows slightly as a hint of suspicion flashed past her eyes.
In the next moment, everyone understood the meaning of Tang Huan's words.
"Rumble …"
At the same time, Lei Ming's voice came from afar, like ten thousand horses galloping. At first, it was faint, but after a moment, it was deafening, the sound of it rumbled as it rolled over, and with it the sound of it becoming louder and louder.
"Not good, there are troops rushing over here."
"There seems to be quite a number of people. Could it be that our Human Allied Forces …. Judging from the sounds, they are not riding any horses at all. Could it be the Demon Clan army? "
"Why would the army of the Demon Clan appear here, and be heading towards us?"
"..."
In the group, dozens of Martial Warriors s' expressions suddenly changed, and those two Stage Seven Martial Master s dismounted at the same time, their ears touching the ground as they listened, their expressions becoming uglier the more they listened.
Zhang Tang let out a breath of relief, and a hint of joy that he did not detect flashed deep within his eyes. In the next moment, his face darkened like the people around him, and he said in a low voice: "Calm down everyone, do not panic, our whereabouts are extremely secretive, and it is impossible for us to reveal it. Even if it was the Demon Clan's army, they wouldn't have specially charged towards us, it's extremely likely that they accidentally bumped into it, we … "
"Ang!" Zhang Tang hadn't even finished speaking when the earth-shattering roar of a dragon resounded throughout the sky, as if it could tear apart a person's eardrums.
"Eight Remoteness Dragon King!" Hearing that, Feng Ming's face suddenly changed, and he could not help but exclaim.
"Eight Remoteness Dragon King?"
Hearing Feng Ming's words, dozens of Martial Warriors s turned pale at once, and their eyes were filled with shock and terror that they were unable to conceal.
That 'Eight Remoteness Dragon King' was one of the eight great Demon King s, and it was even possible that he was the strongest of the eight great Demon King s. The reason why Furious Billows Castle had not been conquered by the Human Allied Forces for many years was partly because of the unique terrain of the castle, and secondly because of the tyrannical strength of the 'Eight Remoteness Dragon King'.
But now, he had actually left the Furious Billows Castle and led his team here.
"Eight Remoteness Dragon King!"
Tang Huan squinted his eyes and whispered the words softly, as a smile started to form on his face.
