Chapter 1226 Captain Yuting

It turned out that the carriages and supplies had already been prepared.

Seeing Tang Lan and the other person standing there without saying a word, a tall woman with a slender figure walked towards them, but she was wearing leather armor sewn from animal hides.

"Hello, I am one of the squad leaders of the major Soul Hunting Teams, specifically responsible for the safety of the caravan."

"Yes, you can call me Yuting!"

"You two are probably also traveling with the caravan, right?"

Yuting has a healthy wheat-colored complexion and is full of energy. She looks like a healthy cheetah on the grassland and has a cheerful and talkative personality.

"My name is Tang Yun, and her name is Tang Qiu'er. We are students at Lingyun Soul Master Academy!"

"I was delayed for a long time because I went home to visit my family, so I could only go with the Chamber of Commerce."

Tang Lan led Wang Qiu'er forward, smiled, shook hands with Yu Ting, and introduced herself.

Wang Qiu'er's lips twitched as she listened to Tang Lan's introduction. She hadn't expected Tang Lan to have come up with a name for her so quickly.

"Hehehe~~ So you two are siblings!"

"From a distance, I thought you were a young couple."

Upon hearing this, Yuting giggled.

These words greatly displeased Wang Qiu'er, who immediately turned to look at Tang Lan beside her, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

It was as if it meant, "Look at the mess you've made; I can see right through your intentions."

However, Tang Lan did not show anything wrong from beginning to end.

"Oh, you guys probably haven't eaten yet!"

"Let's go, they offer a lot of good breakfasts here. After we have a good meal, we'll set off together."

Yuting immediately noticed that the two hadn't eaten yet, so she invited them to walk together toward the Chamber of Commerce canteen not far away.

Upon entering this tall building, one is greeted by a wide variety of breakfast items, pastries, fruits, tea, and fruit juices.

A quick glance reveals that there are no fewer than twenty food stalls here, offering a wide variety of dishes, totaling over a hundred.

It's not hard to imagine how much money these chambers of commerce must have made to afford such a luxurious restaurant building.

Through her conversation with Yuting, Tang Lan gained a general understanding of the overall lineup of the Guangyan Chamber of Commerce.

Because each Soul Hunting Squad has a relatively small number of members, ranging from seven to fourteen, the Radiant Flame Merchant Guild recruited seven Soul Hunting Squads to escort the caravan in one go.

The number of people reached nearly fifty.

The Guangyan Chamber of Commerce's caravan also had nearly a hundred people, of whom 30% were like Tang Lan and her companion, paying for a ride, while 70% were members of the Guangyan Chamber of Commerce themselves.

The person in charge before was the vice president of the Radiant Flame Chamber of Commerce, a Soul Saint level 78 expert.

Of the three Soul Douluos, two are captains of Soul Hunting Squads, while the other is a lone Soul Hunter.

Unlike various factions and sects, the Soul Hunter Squad will do any task, regardless of the profession, as long as it pays and doesn't violate any moral principles.

Yu Ting herself is a level 76 Soul Saint, and she has a total of six subordinates. Five of the remaining six are Soul Emperors, and only one is a level 58 Soul King.

However, it is worth mentioning that the most important person in their team is this healing-type Soul Master who possesses the healing-type Martial Soul Wind Soul Gentleman Orchid.

With this Soul Master around, even if you get injured while carrying out a mission, you don't need to worry about anything else.

"Alright, now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, we'll head outside to meet up. We'll probably be setting off soon!"

"It was a pleasure chatting with you siblings. We'll talk again later."

After a brief farewell to the two, Yuting left first.

They are the Soul Hunter team responsible for protecting the caravan, so we must get there as soon as possible.

"Hmph, I bet you're up to something behind the scenes."

"Otherwise, why insist on saying we're siblings instead of lovers? I advise you to stop trying to take advantage of Yuting, or I'll tell the other sisters about this when we get back."

After seeing Yuting leave, Wang Qiu'er immediately said angrily.

"I just had a sudden inspiration, I didn't think that much about it, you've definitely misunderstood me!"

"It's getting late, let's go over there, don't keep them waiting."

Tang Lan gave a wry smile after hearing this, touched her nose somewhat awkwardly, paid the bill, and then pulled Wang Qiu'er out together.

Standing in the spacious open space of the manor, looking at the thirty-odd carriages lined up in a long queue, Tang Lan could tell that the things the Guangyan Merchant Guild was transporting this time were definitely not simple.

Its value must be extremely high, otherwise they wouldn't have to leave with their families during such a tense time.

However, this was their own family matter, so Tang Lan didn't want to get involved.

These thoughts continued for a while before Tang Lan stopped them, deciding to simply stop thinking about them.

"Gentlemen, our caravan is about to depart. Please take your assigned carriages!"

"Do not move around before departure, otherwise the caravan will not be responsible for any loss of personnel!"

In the small square, members of the merchant guild were calling out to passengers who were about to board the caravan.

After nearly an hour and three rounds of screening, they finally set off on the orders of a senior member of the caravan.

A grand procession of carriages filed out of the main gate and headed out of the city.

On both sides were experts from various Soul Hunting Squads, riding their horses and carrying all sorts of strange and unusual soul tools, their sharp eyes scanning the surrounding environment.

Tang Lan and her companion were in a carriage at the back of the line. They could see that most of the pedestrians on both sides of the road were refugees fleeing the disaster, and some were local aid workers.

Most of these people showed surprise when they saw the Chamber of Commerce's departure from the city.

Given the current situation, even if they were asked to go out with the caravan for free, many people would be unwilling.

Compared to leaving, they felt it was safer to stay in the city, since there were imperial troops guarding the front.

It seems that the city gates were opened slowly even before the caravan arrived, as the city had been communicated with in advance by the city guards.

Tang Lan peeked out and clearly saw the high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce hand a bulging money bag to the city's garrison commander.

This is the operating principle of the Chamber of Commerce.

In their eyes, there seems to be nothing that can't be done with gold soul coins.

If so, then double the amount of Gold Soul Coins.

After leaving Qingyuan City, the caravan traveled along the official road, which was a gentle downhill slope, so the caravan moved particularly fast in the first half of the day.

Apart from the people in the carriages, everyone else in the caravan was equipped with horses, which made the caravan travel extremely fast.

But this time, they hadn't gone far when they saw the dilapidated scene on both sides of the official road. Not only were the forests destroyed, but most of the farmland was also destroyed.

Without a doubt, all of this was the work of that manipulated beast tide.
