The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 72 — Lian Haocun Group VS Thief Group (1)

Lian Huanran thought Long Yuan's idea was a good idea, so he said, “Hm! Then let's go!”

Lian Haocun said in her signature tone, “We will be leaving tomorrow morning. Now find lodging first.”

Lian Huanran and Long Yuan nodded. Then Lian Huanran, Long Yuan and Chao Bence started another conversation and as usual, spoke along the way, and as usual, Lian Haocun became a loyal listener, without even participating in the conversation.

Meanwhile when Lian Haocun and his group had already found an inn to live in for overnight, the bartender suddenly recalled something he had forgotten,

“Ah.., yes... How could I forget about that incident? Yeah, but it's kind of natural, anyway it was eight years ago... Ouch... Well.., but those people will know it soon enough. After all, one of the middle-tier sects was destroyed overnight with nothing left!”

Lian Haocun and his group did not know that the bartender forgot one of the important information eight years ago. So they casually booked two rooms.

Lian Haocun slept alone. While Chao Bence was in human form, Long Yuan and Lian Huanran slept in a room with Bai and Cheng. After all Lian Huanran and Long Yuan were both cheerful and talkative types.

Lian Haocun's room was quiet and silent without any sound, the entire room was also in darkness. While in Lian Huanran's room whose lights were still on, there were various discussions and conversations that were very noisy and crowded. But it also creates a pleasant harmonious atmosphere. Makes anyone want to join their conversation that feels fun.

Lian Haocun who had keen senses could certainly hear the conversation of the three of them. Although Lian Haocun liked the quiet atmosphere, he somehow felt jealous of the three people in Lian Huanran's room.

‘So this is called envy... Maybe because I thought it was fun?’ Lian Haocun's mind was somewhat confused.

But Lian Haocun immediately returned to his usual feelings and began his regular activities, cultivating. While Lian Huanran, Long Yuan and Chao Bence started conversing in whispering voices, afraid of waking the sleeping little Bai and Cheng up.

The three of them spoke until the morning before falling asleep. More precisely only Lian Huanran and Long Yuan were asleep. Chao Bence, who did not need to sleep, stood silently staring at the moon shining in the night sky for hours.

...****************...

After breakfast, Lian Haocun and his group began the journey towards the Blue Sky Sect which was around the East and Northeast directions. They used the transportation magic tool that Shen Wenhuan had given them eight years ago to head to the Blue Sky Sect. Travel time is about four months less than two weeks.

As usual, during the trip, Lian Haocun was cultivating. While Lian Huanran sometimes cultivated, enjoyed the scenery, played with Bai and Cheng and most often chatted with Chao Bence and Long Yuan.

...****************...

Two months passed quickly, Chao Bence who happened to be relaxing looking at the scenery, suddenly said, “Master, stop.”

Although Lian Haocun was cultivating, Lian Haocun immediately followed Chao Bence's request and stopped his magic transport.

“What's up?” Lian Haocun asked coldly.

As if he did not get a satisfactory answer, Chao Bence's head would be separated from his place. Chao Bence felt somewhat horrified by the origin thoughts that suddenly appeared in his mind.

Chao Bence cleared his throat and said, “Below, there are several groups of ordinary citizens who are tied up by robbers. Is the master unwilling to save them? Calculate it as a warm-up for eight years. For eight years, the master only fought with magical beasts, right?”

‘Next I leave it to you.’ Inner Chao Bence glanced at Lian Huanran and Long Yuan at a glance.

Lian Huanran and Long Yuan understood the meaning of Chao Bence's gaze even though it was only a split second. Lian Huanran directly approved of Chao Bence with an excited feeling in his heart, “Yes! Brother! Let's go downstairs and save them!”

Long Yuan also looked excited. After all, they had never fought people for a long time. So Long Yuan said in a persuading tone to someone, “True Chao said... Let's fight them! Oh, aren't you bored? For forty more years, only fighting with magical beasts?”

Lian Haocun looked at Lian Huanran and Long Yuan who looked extremely excited, without any expression on his face. This made Lian Huanran and Long Yuan feel that their persuasion was completely unsuccessful and useless.

But unexpectedly, Lian Haocun said, “Hm, let's go down.”

Lian Haocun controlled his magic transport tool to float closer to the ground surface. After his height was enough, Lian Haocun jumped down with a completely unchanged face.

Lian Huanran looked down and felt a little afraid to jump. But Long Yuan did not care about it and instead jumped up while pulling Lian Huanran's hand, so Lian Huanran automatically dragged along.

Fortunately Lian Huanran's body reacted faster than his mind, he used his Spiritual Qi to protect his body from the air pressure, then corrected his position. Until they land safely.

The five thieves were startled by the existence of three people who suddenly came from above the sky and started shouting some deafening threats. The three thieves were at the Core Formation stage while the other two thieves were at the Golden Core Formation stage.

Lian Haocun paid no heed to the threatening cries of the thieves and the cry for help from the citizens tied by the rope to him. He looked around him closely. The place the robbers stole from was a village. The village was very small with only a few houses built.

Even his houses were built with straw. The houses seem to be built carelessly. The structure is simple and rugged. Seen from the appearance of the village, most likely there are no valuables that can be stolen.

‘Truly unlucky.’ Inner Lian Haocun came to a conclusion.

The thief with the cultivation level of the Golden Formation Stage whose entire body was covered by a black cloth, could no longer bear to be ignored by Lian Haocun. He moved closer to Lian Haocun at a decent speed and pointed a sharp dagger towards Lian Haocun. Lian Haocun immediately noticed the attack, yet he did not even dodge and stopped the tip of the sharp dagger directed at him with just one finger!

Along with one thief attacking Lian Haocun, the other four thieves also rushed towards Lian Huanran and Long Yuan to surround them together. The four thieves paid no attention to Lian Haocun and the leader of their group.

Lian Haocun stared coldly and sharply at the leader of the thieves whose daggers had been stopped by him. The leader of the thieves felt extremely shocked in his heart and started evaluating Lian Haocun's true level, but got nothing.

After all Lian Haocun used one of the tools that could hide his true cultivation level. Lian Huanran and Long Yuan. But the appearance of Lian Haocun who looked very young made the Thief Leader off guard.

The leader of the Thieves became even more vigilant and immediately pulled out his dagger. Then he attacked Lian Haocun more ferociously and quickly than before. The dagger had indeed managed to come into contact with Lian Haocun's skin, but there were no dagger scratches on the spot that touched it! The shocked expression of the thief facing off against Lian Haocun could not even be hidden from behind his black mask.
