I'm the one running the game

The matter of Shangguan Mansion came to an end quickly. There were about 30 disciples of Tiejian Sect who went north together, but after being ambushed by the black-faced snake, only five people were left.

These five people, led by Cui Xuan, were all of the same generation as the head of the sect. Their strengths were quite uneven. Only Cui Xuan was a first-rate master, and the rest were second-rate figures.

Of course, the person who led the team back was not well-known, and was slightly inferior to Cui Xuan in strength. He had protected the disciples before leaving.

Meng Hu, Shangguan Ru and others were also taken back to Tiejian Sect. As for the follow-up matters of Shangguan Mansion, Tiejian Sect would also send people to coordinate and deal with them.

There were fewer people, but it was not so easy to produce a first-rate master.

Take Tiejian Sect as an example. In addition to the head of the sect being a master, the number of first-rate masters was actually only about ten, and no more than twenty people at most.

The same is true for other sects. There will be more in Huangjue Palace, and the other sects are almost the same.

This time they no longer walked, but rode north on horseback.

Lu Xingshi has the ability of riding, which he also modified to the full value of 1000 points. Although he has never ridden a horse, he must have read books, otherwise how could he activate this ability.

He learned it but didn't practice it at the time, so he tried it now.

After riding, the 2500-point effect combined with 100 points of comprehension quickly brought out the riding ability, and he became experienced in just ten seconds.

On the way, Lu Xingshi also learned a lot about the world through Cui Xuan, and he also indirectly asked about the situation of his master Murong Xuan.

Cui Xuan didn't know much, because when he entered the world, Murong Xuan had been out of fashion for almost ten years, and there was no news from him until now.

Murong Xuan was known as the Star Picker in the world, and he had also participated in the Tianshan Sword Contest and won the first place. Most people were unfamiliar with the Langya Pavilion behind him, and there were very few traces of him. He belonged to a hidden sect.

It was common for disciples of hidden sects to enter the world. Most of these people were unique and had extraordinary strength.

But most of the disciples of the hidden sects would keep a low profile, and people like Murong Xuan were a minority after all.

Lu Xingshi suspected that it was probably because he was too prominent that his master was targeted by the court and then conscripted.

Otherwise, if you practice in Langya Pavilion in a low profile, who would know your strength, and even no one would know if there were people in Langya Pavilion.

But this is normal. His reputation was helped by Murong Xuan when he was just starting out. High-profile, showing off, and showing off in front of people should be his character.

Lu Xingshi also had doubts. How could such a person be willing to hide his name?

It can't be that he is old, right? Murong Xuan is now 85 years old, but because of his deep internal strength, he doesn't look old at all.

Whoosh~

Lu Xingshi was chatting with Cui Xuan and others, and suddenly a stone whistled in front of him. Judging from the trajectory, it should have brushed his ear and hit Cui Xuan.

But he just pinched it with his bare hands, without any white marks on his hands, and then he hit it back.

He also knows how to use hidden weapons. Not only does he have full ability values, but he also has a lot of perfect hidden weapon skills in his hands.

Bang!

A corpse fell down like this, and the opponent's eyebrows were pierced by the iron stone, and he died on the spot.

"What a powerful locust stone." Cui Xuan couldn't help but praise it, and then jumped off the horse to check the corpse.

A pile of iron stones were searched from the opponent's body, and lotus patterns were engraved on them.

"It's an iron lotus, why would he come here to attack." Cui Xuan quickly recognized the opponent.

"What's his origin?" Lu Xingshi followed and started to take action, hoping to find the skills from the opponent, but he got nothing.

"He has a clean origin and is a first-class knight. How could such a person be driven by the rebels?"

"Could it be that his wife and children fell into the hands of the rebels?" Cui Xuan guessed, otherwise how could he come to attack.

Although Iron Lotus is famous for his hidden weapon, Lotus Flying Stone, every time he uses hidden weapons, he does it openly and honestly, and doesn't look like he would defect to the rebels.

"Oh, then what? Do you have any clues?" Lu Xingshi didn't care who Iron Lotus was, he only knew that this guy ambushed him.

He was willing to help the weak, but he would not have any sympathy for someone who wanted to attack him.

"No, it seems that the news of the death of the black-faced snake has spread." Cui Xuan felt that there was only this possibility, otherwise there would be no second ambush.

"Then how long will it take us to get to the place?" Lu Xingshi asked.

Saibei is very big, and he set out before just thinking about what he could do. Later, he followed Cui Xuan because his master might be with the head of the Iron Sword Sect. At worst, he could ask the head of the Iron Sword Sect or ask for help through the other party's relationship.

This is better than looking for it slowly by yourself.

Cui Xuan took out the map, compared it and said, "If everything goes well, we can get there in five days at our speed."

"We should be able to enter the northern border tomorrow."

"Okay, what about this body?" Lu Xingshi asked, whether the other party planned to bury it or expose it in the wilderness.

He naturally preferred the latter, saving time. It is true that the debt is settled when a person dies, but he has no obligation to help. He is not a saint. If the other party wants to kill him, he will have to dig a grave for the other party.

"Just abandon it on the side of the road." Cui Xuan did not have a good impression either.

He didn't know this Iron Lotus, he had only heard of the opponent's reputation, not to mention that the opponent's behavior of intercepting and killing them was equivalent to being an enemy.

It's not like the famous sect doesn't fight back when beaten or scolded. On the contrary, each of them is full of martial virtue and their attacks are very ruthless.

Everyone got on their horses and continued northward, but the atmosphere was obviously much lower than before.

"Little friend Lu, I plan to take a small road." Cui Xuan said abruptly.

A poisoning and an interception made Cui Xuan think about it.

They did avoid it, but if they hadn't, they would have become corpses by now.

The best way is to hide if you can, rather than confront the enemy head-on.

"Although the path is rugged, it is faster. We can reach it in three days at most, and we can also avoid the attacks of this group of villains." Cui Xuan knew that Lu Xingshi was in a hurry.

"A small road? I'm afraid you can't ride a horse, right?" Lu Xingshi is not stupid. The small road must go through mountains and ridges, and horses are not suitable for it.

"Indeed, I will be tired later, but it will definitely be faster." Cui Xuan said.

"Okay, just take the small road." Lu Xingshi agreed. He could run much faster than the horse. Moreover, the horse was troublesome. Although it didn't need to shovel shit, it had to provide fodder, clean water, etc. every day, and it couldn't run. Too long, otherwise the horse will become useless and it will do more harm than good to him.

Of course, it is very practical for Cui Xuan and the others, after all, they are not as strong as Lu Xingshi.
