The Immortal Fire

Chapter 40: Continuing the Journey

After several days of getting treatment from Qin Yueyin, Hu Xian Dan Wei Ziyou gradually improved. Liu Ying also spent a lot of time chatting with them, despite not being very familiar with Hu Xian.

Liu Ying received good news regarding the continuation of the journey, it turned out that Hu Xian had no intention of stopping the hunt. Although initially strongly opposed by Wei Ziyou, Hu Xian, assisted by Liu Ying, was finally able to tear the girl down.

Hu Xian reasoned that he wanted to add insight and experience, whereas Liu Ying was originally only due to the financial crisis. But he felt that Hu Xian's thinking had a point, this was also a great and fantastic challenge. Liu Ying could not miss this one.

Exactly ten days already, Liu Ying settled in that place. Now is the right time to return to continue the journey, he must return to his main destination.

Now Liu Ying was getting ready and packing his things. He got a decent amount of resources from Qin Baoyu, not knowing what Liu Ying was doing so that the woman continued to help him. Liu Ying was given free treatment.

"A'Ying, do you really have to go now?" qin Yueyin asked.

After all, ten days was not a short time for them to become familiar. Qin Yueyin was a friend of Liu Ying.

"A traveler is still a traveler, there is no place in the world for me to live. Sister Qin, even if we part here, we will still be friends. Nothing had changed regarding it," Liu Ying's palm stared fixedly at Qin Yueyin's face.

Qin Yueyin looked dejected, while Hu Xian looked saturated in waiting. Soon Liu Ying landed a hug on Qin Yueyin, as did Wei Ziyou doing the same.

"Miss Qin, I'm saying goodbye." Liu Ying saluted by fusing his hands together then bowed followed by his two comrades.

After saying goodbye, they left the place. Qin Baoyu and Qin Yueyin who were ushering in front of the terrace began to appear distant, before finally disappearing behind the intersection and the trees that covered the entire village.

The three young men set foot outside the village of Xue Nan, staring at the vast and dangerous world that was facing them.

Liu Ying again began the main journey that had stalled, he would prove to the whole world that he was capable of surpassing anything. Neither Xi Guan nor the gods, no one could stop him.

"Ying, you haven't spoken a thing since. Any issues?" asked Wei Ziyou who was walking to Liu Ying's left.

"Nothing."

Hu Xian was exactly two meters ahead of them, making sure there was no threatening danger from the front. However, Hu Xian's martial will was higher among the three of them.

During his time in the Qin Health Service, Liu Ying had already broken through to the level one Copper Swordsman. He's got a pretty good development. While Wei Ziyou was still at the sixth level Iron Swordsman, he was six steps below Liu Ying.

Before long, they stopped in a forest filled with bamboo trees. Hu Xian heard a shout from a place not far away from them.

"Look of blood," Liu Ying muttered softly, he stiffened as he confirmed that the scent was indeed the scent of human blood.

Wei Ziyou became alert, he immediately took out his flagship paper talisman and put up the horses. "Ying, you be careful."

Liu Ying nodded without lowering his vigilance, he was preparing to pull the sword from its sheath, pointing the thing forward.

"Not far from here. You guys come with me from behind, don't make a sound." Hu Xian traced the bamboo fence that formed that road.

"The way the growth is not natural, it seems like this bamboo was deliberately planted tightly to hide something next to it" said the young man again.

Liu Ying used Qinggong to keep his steps from making a sound, he felt that something was threatening on his radar.

Surprisingly, they found a large shabby building across the street. There were many guards surrounding the place as if guarding something important inside.

"Gee!"

"Sssst." Hu Xian placed his index finger on his lips.

Liu Ying tried to take a closer look, sticking out his ears hoping to hear something.

...***...

"Chairman An Lang's report, the customers from Mongolia had almost rejected the transaction. That bastard Banzorig, if we can't get at least five hundred people, he'll report this to Great Lord Batukhan so as not to cooperate with us anymore."

There were several corpses of his dead subordinates, lying on the ground with long wounds on the neck. The rest just looked down scared and shivering, they could be next.

A streak of anger was clearly displayed from the moody man who was the leader of the group, his face was not clearly visible because he was wearing a mask that covered half of his face.

"It can't be like this. We've put in a lot of effort this month, at least they've received about two hundred slaves last week how could they think of stopping the transaction?!" The man called An Lang threw the bottle of his son on the ground.

"Tell that bastard to wait a few more days, we just need time." An Lang clenched his hands furiously.

The subordinate immediately left after getting the order, he did not want to linger and became the target of his leader's anger.

Liu Ying's heart was racing fast, he tried to analyze and confirm the thing he had heard just now.

"Xian, this is bad. They're doing human buying and selling!" Liu Ying could not bear to not growl.

Hu Xian pulled Liu Ying's arm back. "We can't interfere with this matter, our main goal is just the Demon hunt."

Liu Ying frutations made. Clearly something before them was a big deal, how could the young man ignore it?

"Xian, awake! Are you going to let those bastards sell the people of your country? Where is your humanity Xian, where?!"

Hu Xian was silent for a moment, he rubbed his face rough and began to get emotional. "We can't fight them. They're in the hundreds, thousands, they don't even think they can predict their numbers in there."

"As long as you are brave and determined, we can, Xian. Are you going to let hundreds of innocent lives?"

"Gosh, are you crazy?! Even if you have a strong determination, will it double our numbers, will you gain a god-derived superior strength?" hu Xian's low voice signified that the man was suppressing his emotions.

"We don't go to seek death. There are hundreds of hostages in there, we cannot act rashly that can instantly make their lives fly away" Hu Xian sighed.

Liu Ying instantly silenced, he clenched tightly withstanding his explosive irritation.

"If you're afraid to die, let me."
