Even though the two divine territories were within arm’s reach, they were still separated by the Void Sea and the Nothingness Fog, resembling a deadly strait that isolated everything.

To pass through, one had to seize a particular moment when the massive spines of the Earth’s veins collided and sent the flames of the Earth’s veins shooting into the sky. At this moment, the heat and the molten magma would lift the Nothingness Fog higher, providing an opportunity to pass through the mist.

As the three people made their way through the chaos between the two divine territories, they nearly got thrown into the tumultuous Void Sea by the storm and were almost evaporated by the terrifying heat generated between the two territories.

In such border areas of divine territories, even deities felt insignificant.

…

They reached the land of Green Water in the God Territory of Yuheng.

This was the southernmost point of Yuheng, with exactly one hundred interconnected cities, hence also known as Green Water Liancheng.

The Cultivation civilization of Yuheng was quite advanced; about one or two in ten people practiced martial arts, and among those martial artists, the majority practiced swordsmanship.

This was a Domain of Sword Cultivation; everywhere you went, you could see Cultivators carrying Green Swords, their attire tending towards simplicity, neatness, and elegance.

In one of the green mountains within the Green Water Cities, which housed several smaller mountain cities, Zhu Minglang saw a group of swordsmen escorting a convoy. Several strong Dragon Oxen were carrying precious cargo, and all swordsmen were arranged neatly into two rows, moving slowly through the forest, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings with caution and care.

“On the other side of the woods, it seems there are people,” Ling Song, who was particularly alert, pointed towards the direction where the escorting swordsmen were headed.

“A heist?” Zhu Minglang remarked.

“Looks like it.”

Linghu Ling glanced at the two men, feeling like they were quite experienced with these kinds of situations.

…

On the other side of the forest, a group of masked Cultivators hid in the lush trees.

“Why so many people for an escort just to transport some tea leaves? Could it be that they’re golden leaves?” a bald man with a mask said.

“Look at the footprints the Dragon Oxen left on the ground…” a person wrapped in red cloth said.

As soon as these words were out, the eyes of these righteous men, who often engaged in such deeds, lit up.

“The footprints are deep. Does this mean that the Dragon Oxen carrying the cargo are rather plump?” a somewhat chubby masked man remarked.

“Idiot, we’ve been doing this for three years, how do you still not understand the trade? They’re using boxes to pack tea leaves, but tea leaves aren’t that heavy; even if the boxes were full, it wouldn’t strain these powerful Dragon Oxen so much. Thus, there must be other treasures inside. Tsk, tsk, it could be Liuli Jade; we’re going to be rich!”

A group of masked men had their eyes filled with greed.

They waited in silence, biding their time for the prey to arrive.

“Strike now!”

“Strike now!”

The bandits ambushed in the forest saw their prey completely within reach, each gripped their weapons tightly, ready to spring into action.

“Gentlemen, could I ask for a favor and have you spare this convoy? Let’s not rob it this time?” Suddenly, a voice came from above their heads.

These forest heroes looked up and saw a young man stepping on a Flying Sword, slowly descending.

“Sword Control Technique?” The heroes widened their eyes, their expressions strange as they stared at the uninvited guest.

“May I ask why you have intervened with us? We only rob wealth, not lives, and besides, based on our observations, the belongings of these swordsmen were not acquired through legitimate means,” said the leader with the red mask.

Zhu Minglang did not explain, but simply pointed a finger, and instantly, sword shadows silently flew around these forest heroes.

“Whoosh!”

When the Sword Spirit Dragon returned to Zhu Minglang’s side, the masks of these forest heroes were all torn to shreds, even the tightly wrapped cloth around their faces turned into strips, sliding off their faces.

The forest heroes all revealed their true faces, their expressions showing shock.

“At a glance, you must be a reincarnated Immortal, here to reform us who dabble in underhanded dealings. From now on, we shall wash our hands of this and will never again set foot in these rivers and lakes!” the man with the red mask said firmly to Zhu Minglang, confusion no longer on his face.

“Then I wish you all a future as splendid as a brocade,” Zhu Minglang replied, and then, stepping on the sword, he floated away.

…

The caravan slowly passed through the narrowest part of the road, while the forest heroes hiding in the dense areas all squatted behind, not even daring to breathe heavily.

Only after the caravan had completely passed through the woods did the slightly corpulent forest hero say slowly, “Could that person just now have been an Immortal?”

“What do you think!” The leader glared at him.

“His sword shadows perfectly sliced our cloths, and to kill us would have been but a thought!”

“Let’s wash our hands of this; robbing caravans is too dangerous.”

…

Escorting the caravan all the way, Zhu Minglang was deeply concerned that these members of the Evil Sword Sect, who were transporting the Silver Dawn Fragments, might encounter some mishaps.

These Evil Sword Sect members disguised themselves as caravan guards. Once they obtained a Silver Dawn Fragment, they would immediately gather nearby members to form a caravan team and transport the Silver Dawn Fragments to their headquarters.

Zhu Minglang was escorting them to cast a long line, hoping that these Evil Sword Sect members would lead him to their lair.

Moreover, if the Silver Dawn Shards were scattered among the common folk, falling into the hands of those itinerant cultivators, it would waste a lot of time for them to collect every single piece.

So, for now, Zhu Minglang, Linghu Ling, and Ling Song had only one thing to do: ensure that all the Silver Dawn Shards were safely transported to the main camp of the Slanted Sword Sect.

The entire Evil Sword Sect probably never imagined that they had gods secretly guarding them.

The transportation of the Silver Dawn Shards went very smoothly.

Some of the Silver Dawn Shards were as small as grains of sand, and even though the Evil Sword Sect was numerous and powerful, safely transporting them all to a designated place was still prone to accidents.

For example, the current team disguised as caravan guards didn’t have much strength. Most of them were peripheral members of the Evil Sword Sect responsible for the transportation. If they encountered forest heroes with a high cultivation base, they could still be intercepted.

Speaking of which, the cultivation civilization on the Yuheng side is indeed higher. Even some Lord Level and Monarch Level cultivators have resorted to banditry; in the past in the Supreme Court, Monarch Level could dominate a nation-state.

Times have changed, indeed!

“Really, these Evil Sword Sect people, with their erratic strength, should at least choose some elites to escort the Silver Dawn Shards. It’s such a precious item, and it makes us worry on their behalf!” Ling Song said with irritation.
