Chapter 805: Chapter 799: Eclipse Worm

After three years, he thought she had long forgotten, but unexpectedly, he finally heard the bells ring.

"You Jiang, take your men and come with me, quickly!"

You Jiang had never seen Jin Ziyuan this eager, which startled him.

"What’s wrong?"

Jin Ziyuan said, "There’s no time to explain, just follow me."

Having said that, he took the lead in mounting his horse and galloped towards the direction of the worm impact.

The plains and grasslands dominate the North, so a single rider on a horse could move swiftly. Before midnight, he had caught up with the carriage where Gu Youyou was.

"Seize that carriage for me, slay the men on the spot, and take the women back to be the bandit chiefs’ wives. Bring back the gold, silver, and jewels to reward our brothers!" Jin Ziyuan’s order was rife with hooliganism, and the bandits following him, upon seeing the luxurious carriage ahead, were already excitedly ready for action. As soon as his words fell, they brandished their broadswords and began to surround the carriage where Gu Youyou was.

Huo Li felt like he had been fucked over by a dog upon seeing this band of bandits.

In recent years, Huo Li had been down on his luck; could it be that now even bandits dared to rob him?

The coachman driving the carriage was a mute, and he trembled as he looked at Huo Li.

He had only taken on this job to feed his family, never thinking he would lose his life here.

But he had heard the shouts of the bandits clearly.

Huo Li said coldly, "Just sit tight on the carriage, keep an eye on the people inside. Once this is over, double the silver."

The mute coachman felt like crying; success had to come first.

Everyone says that two fists can’t beat four hands, but there was a horde of bandits, if not a hundred, then at least eighty, right?

Heaven, he had elders above and young ones below, he didn’t want to die yet.

He couldn’t speak, so he could only keep kowtowing to Huo Li.

Huo Li gave him a cold stare and grabbed him, tossing him into the carriage.

Gu Youyou, who was peeking through the window gap, was startled by the person suddenly thrown in, but relaxed when she saw it was the coachman.

She asked, "What’s happening outside?"

The coachman had a bitter expression, pointed to his own mouth, shook his head, and looked as if he was on the verge of tears.

Gu Youyou understood, realizing that this coachman must have been hired by Huo Li, who had taken her from the palace without alerting anyone; probably no one in Xuanzong’s circle even knew.

Clever, Huo Li.

She just didn’t know if the people outside were Jin Ziyuan or not. The voice seemed different, as though artificially changed.

But with the showy carriage Huo Li had arranged, it was possible it had caught the eye of bandits.

Not knowing the situation outside, Gu Youyou decided to hide inside the carriage and see what Huo Li planned to do next.

The coachman, terrified out of his wits, was huddled in a corner of the carriage.

Huo Li watched the crowd with a cold gaze and, without another word, drew his sword.

A longsword emitted a cold light as pure as moonlight, and Huo Li yelled at the crowd, "Tonight, none of you will leave here alive."

His eyes bloodshot, he looked like a grim reaper, the vigor erupting from him causing dust to fly around his body. And the sword... centered on the sword, a blue circle rapidly expanded.

Gu Youyou, hidden in the carriage and looking out the window, was stunned by the spectacle before her, feeling as if Huo Li was performing some sort of sorcery.

What were those things?

It seemed as if something was continuously flowing out from the hilt of the sword, expanding outward.

Jin Ziyuan furrowed his brow tightly and whispered to You Jiang behind him, "Those are Eclipse Worms. Pass the word, everyone retreat quickly."
