By the time Guhan reached the meeting point as fast as he could, he was already eight minutes late … The meeting point was a large parking lot in the Core Area, the same parking lot that Guhan and Class 22694 had used when they went out for a mission.
In fact, basically all the sword bearers would depart from this parking lot. Apart from this parking lot, there were no other private parking lots or parking spaces in the core area. Most of the roads in the core area were also closed to cars. There was only one main road that was directly connected to the outside of the city.
The reason for this was that the roads in the core area had been compressed to the point of being extremely narrow. At most, it was only wide enough for a car to pass through.
This was because all the land in the Core Area had to be given to buildings as much as possible, and things like wide roads were too luxurious for humans.
Moreover, the Core Area had a high population density, and the accident rate was also very high. Other than the main road that led out of the city, no other roads were allowed for cars to pass through.
When Guhan found Song Yifei, she was standing there with a bitter expression. Behind her were her own sword maidens Hannya and Ming Yuan, as well as Guhan's two sword maidens, Qingpin and Yi Tian.
Other than that, there was also a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression standing beside Song Yifei. This man's hair was golden, and he had a large aquiline nose. Other than that, the rest of his physical characteristics were basically the same as a Chinese human. It seemed that this man was a mixed-blood human.
"You're Guhan, right?"
When the aquiline nose saw Guhan walk over, he immediately stared at Guhan with an expression as if his mother had died, and said in a strange tone, "You're amazing, no one has ever dared to make me wait for them!"
Next, the aquiline nose reprimanded Guhan for being late for more than 20 minutes. Every reprimand carried a feeling of insult without any profanity. It felt like he was the teacher in charge of a middle school or high school, and Guhan was like a bad student who did not like to study.
Throughout the process of teaching Guhan a lesson, Guhan did not refute a single word. He only lowered his head and listened obediently.
This was because Guhan noticed that behind this hook-nosed man were four beautiful girls with different appearances … however, these girls' gazes were dull and their bodies were motionless, and they lacked the spirituality that humans should have. These girls were most likely not normal humans, but Sword Maidens, or even man-made Sword Maidens.
This was because only man-made Sword Ladies would have such a dull expression. Man-made Sword Ladies did not have souls.
At this time, there was no one else present. In other words, this hook-nosed man was actually a Spirit Sword Level sword wielder!
No wonder he dared to speak to Guhan in such an aggressive and nasty manner. With the strength of a Spirit Sword Master, Guhan was reprimanded until he couldn't say anything, and didn't even have the will to refute.
Students who had been reprimanded by the teacher in charge knew that talking back to the teacher in charge was the worst thing to do. If it was not done properly, they might be punished physically or have their parents called in.
The best way was to lower their head and let the teacher vent his anger. After all, the teacher had to go home after work. Would he scold you until the night?
When the hook-nosed man was reprimanding him, Guhan also roughly understood why the hook-nosed man was here. It turned out that he was sent by Liu Lei to escort Guhan, Song Yifei, and Koo Rok-in all the way.
The journey to Changyang Mountain was about 1,600 kilometers. In this 1,600 kilometers, except for a few beacon towers near Yuzhang, there were no other traces of human activity. This way, they would pass through the territory of Yuan Kou, and there was no lack of some powerful Nether Level or Meteor Level Yuan Kou's territory. If they were unlucky, it was not impossible to encounter a Universe Level Yuan Kou.
If Guhan and the other two sword bearers were alone, the probability of them coming back alive was estimated to be less than 20%. Guhan and Song Yifei were the elites of Yuzhang City, and they were talents with great potential who might take over the position of Liu Lei and Daoless Immortal Sword in the future. They were completely different from ordinary sword bearers. It was impossible for the two Sword Immortals to let them take such a big risk. Therefore, the two simply assigned a Spirit Sword Level sword bearer, which was this hook-nosed man, to accompany Guhan and the other two to Changyang Mountain. With the protection of a Spirit Sword Level sword bearer, and two Immortal Sword Level sword bearers who could cross the void to save their lives at any time, the safety of Guhan and the others should still be guaranteed.
However, this hook-nosed man seemed to be a little dissatisfied with being assigned such a task. Come to think of it, he, a dignified Spirit Sword Level sword bearer, was actually assigned to protect the safety of a few sword bearers at the Treasure Sword Level.
In particular, Liu Lei had specifically told him that the three sword-bearers were the future of Yuzhang City. This made the hook-nosed man even more unhappy. Why didn't anyone tell him that he was the future of Yuzhang City when he was still a sword-bearer?
When he was risking his life, why didn't anyone arrange for a Spirit Sword Level sword bearer to protect him?
Although he was full of complaints, the hook-nosed man could not refuse the task assigned by the Sword Immortals, so he could only pinch his nose and agree.
On the other hand, he vented his anger on Guhan. Who asked Guhan to be late?
Fortunately, someone soon rescued Guhan from the abyss of suffering — Koo Rok-in with a red sun slowly walked over. He came alone, and there was no Sword Maiden behind him. However, there were two swords in the two scabbards on his back. It seemed that he did not release his Sword Maiden, unlike Guhan and Song Yifei.
"Lu Ren, when will you change your temper!"
The hook-nosed man frowned and reprimanded. Although he was half an hour later than Guhan, the hook-nosed man's attitude towards Koo Rok-in was much better … After all, he was the son of Ju Wudao, the son of the chairman of the Yuzhang City Sword Committee.
"Let's talk about it after you change your bad temper!"
Koo Rok-in had no respect for the hook-nosed man. He looked at him as if he was looking at a passerby … This was a great insult to a Spirit Sword Level sword bearer. According to the etiquette between sword bearers, the lower level sword bearer must maintain respect for the higher level sword bearer, unless the lower level sword bearer was much older than the higher level sword bearer.
"Koo Rok-in, you …" The hook-nosed man's face turned red, and he was ready to start educating Koo Rok-in to let him know how powerful he was.
"Hawk, if you dare to say a word of nonsense to me, I'll leave now and let that old fart Ju Wudao find a third person to go to this Changyang Mountain. I, Koo Rok-in, will never step out of Yuzhang City even if I die."
Koo Rok-in seemed to have guessed that the hook-nosed man was going to start lecturing him, so he simply threw a cold sentence at him. The hook-nosed man was so angry that his face looked as if he had eaten dozens of Mexican chili peppers, but in the end, he couldn't say a word.
Before he came, Ju Wudao specifically told him to take good care of Koo Rok-in and that Koo Rok-in must reach Changyang Mountain … When the hook-nosed man was young, he received a lot of care from Ju Wudao, so he couldn't refuse Ju Wudao's request … For the hook-nosed man, Koo Rok-in was like a hot and hot potato, like his ancestor.
"What an idiotic idiot …" Guhan, who saw all this, sneered in his heart. He also had some speculations about Koo Rok-in's mentality.
This Ju Luren was obviously a guy who had rebelled to the extreme under Ju Wudao's protection … Perhaps because his parents had neglected to take care of him when he was young, he had developed hatred for his parents and was filled with rebelliousness.
With a little bit of strength, he felt that the world owed him something, that this world was not the world he wanted, and so on.
He even deliberately talked back to some elders and went against some powerful people, thinking that it was cool and different, like a hero who could get rid of the control and shadow of his parents.
In reality, he was still a piece of trash who lived under the shadow of his parents' power. If his father was not Ju Wudao, the hook-nosed man would have kicked this idiot away.
Hearing Koo Rok-in's tone, Guhan wanted to kick him away. This kind of person was the biggest headache for a team. He would often not listen to orders and do inexplicable things, then put the whole team in danger … All the plots in the stories were like this. In fact, Guhan's premonition was very accurate.
…
"All of you, get in the car. We're leaving!"
The hook-nosed man, who was also the Eagle Cat that Koo Rok-in called, and whose official title was the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit, tapped on his personal terminal, and the ground opened up. After a series of complicated mechanical movements, a hovercraft the size of a large bus rose from the ground.
This was the vehicle that Gu Han and Song Yifei would use to travel to Changyang Mountain. A hovercraft that looked like a bus was specially designed for long-distance team travel and battles.
It could travel more than ten thousand kilometers with a full fuel charge. There were also various monitoring devices for Yuan Kou inside the vehicle, as well as a complete set of furniture and daily necessities. It looked like a caravan before the apocalypse, but in terms of exquisiteness, it was far better than a caravan.
The hovercraft stopped on the ground, and the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit directed Koo Rok-in, Guhan and the others to enter the caravan … There were five rooms in the caravan, and the room near the front of the car, which included the driver's seat, was the largest and best. Naturally, this was Eagle Cat's room.
Koo Rok-in was the first to jump into the caravan, and directly took the room at the back of the caravan.
This room was the second largest room, and according to traditional etiquette, this room should be given to a girl like Song Yifei.
However, Koo Rok-in obviously did not have such awareness, and naturally took the room.
Song Yifei chose the room near the front of the car. Helplessly, Guhan could only be placed between Song Yifei and Koo Rok-in. Song Yifei was probably disgusted with Koo Rok-in, which was why she did not want to be placed next to his room.
Eagle Cat did not delay, and after everyone had boarded, the hovercraft began to move. At this time, Guhan knocked on Eagle Cat's door.
"What's the matter?" Eagle Cat opened the door unhappily, and saw Guhan carrying Gu Yun at the door.
"Senior Eagle Cat, my sister is just a normal human.
She got lost just now, and I was late because I was looking for her! "
"So, you're here to tell me that I shouldn't have criticized you just now?" Eagle Cat lit up a cigarette, and took a deep puff.
"No, Senior Eagle Cat's teachings are all correct, and I have no reason to waste everyone's time.
I'm here to find Senior Eagle Cat, so you can stop the car at the third junction. It's very close to my house, and I want to let my sister go home. She's just a normal human, and she can't go with us. "
"Oh!" Eagle Cat Sword Spirit blew out a ring of smoke, and blew it all on Guhan's face.
"No, go away!"
