#402 - Chapter 402 Cai Er's Fantasy Journey Part 4

Leng Feng was imagining the future when the Hongmen could show their skills in the Blackwood Prefecture.

Suddenly, a series of noises came from the path in the woods ahead.

With the intuition of a martial artist,

Leng Feng immediately became vigilant.

The sounds from the path in the woods gradually approached, and Leng Feng's nerves were stretched to the limit.

The steel saber in his hand gleamed coldly in the sunlight, as if ready to be drawn at any moment.

Leng Feng also gave the subordinates beside him a look,

and everyone gripped their steel sabers, ready to strike.

When the group of figures finally emerged from the woods, Leng Feng's eyes searched through the crowd,

eventually settling on a familiar figure.

After recognizing a familiar figure among the newcomers, Leng Feng gradually relaxed his vigilance.

"Cheng Yi, who are those behind you??" Leng Feng's tone was tinged with doubt, as well as a hint of wariness.

Hearing this, Cheng Yi hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his fist and said, "Leng Feng, don't be nervous, these are all members of the Cheng family.

The master asked me to escort several madams to the Blackwood Prefecture first to choose a residence, and the master will arrive later."

Hearing this, Leng Feng secretly sized up the people beside Cheng Yi.

The maids were all at the Skin Refinement Realm of martial arts.

The three women at the front were dressed in gorgeous clothes,

and the realm of one of the madams at the rear was similar to his own.

He couldn't see through the realms of the other two.

Leng Feng thought to himself: "Could it be that the two madams have already reached Bone Forging?

Is this the strength of the Cheng family?"

Sensing that the person in front of her was a little stunned,

Zhao Wei frowned slightly and waved her hand, saying, "Now, lead the way."

Although she was in a foreign land, there was no trace of panic in her eyes.

Her powerful martial arts strength was the guarantee for the group,

and also the source of Zhao Wei's confidence.

Not to mention the manpower arranged by her husband.

"So it's Madam Cheng, please forgive me for not welcoming you from afar." Leng Feng quickly put away his steel saber, bowed and saluted, his tone full of respect.

The Cheng family's position in the Hongmen was pivotal,

and those who came from the Cheng family now held high positions in the Hongmen, and the other disciples were also subtly superior to others.

How could discerning people not know the specific reason?

Zhao Wei smiled slightly and said softly, "You're too kind, we're new here, and we hope for your care."

Hearing this, Leng Feng felt slightly relieved.

"Madam, please rest assured, Leng Feng will do his best to protect you." Leng Feng's tone was firm, and his eyes flashed with a resolute light.

The two groups of people successfully connected and verified each other.

All vigilance and suspicion disappeared.

Everyone boarded the prepared carriages one after another,

and as the carriages rumbled, Leng Feng rode on his horse, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, ensuring that the group could safely reach the Blackwood Prefecture.

The sunlight shone dappled on the road through the sparse clouds, adding a bit of warmth to the journey.

"Cheng Yi, do you know why the master suddenly decided to move the entire family to the Blackwood Prefecture?"

Leng Feng asked Cheng Yi beside him as he urged his horse forward, secretly speculating about the Cheng family's motives.

Hearing this, Cheng Yi shook his head and said in a low voice with a blank expression, "I don't know."

Leng Feng nodded, pondering to himself.

"As expected of a confidant of the Cheng family head, his discretion is indeed tight."

The carriages continued to move forward, and the scenery on both sides of the road unfolded slowly like a picture scroll.

"Madam, the Blackwood Prefecture is just ahead." Leng Feng pointed to the majestic city in front of them, his tone tinged with flattery.

Zhao Wei nodded gently, her eyes flashing with anticipation.

The rest of the people kept their mouths shut, after all, they needed to be cautious in their words and actions when they were away from home.

Cai'er silently observed the group of strong and silent black-clothed men in front of her.

She thought to herself: "Are these the Hongmen disciples that the master spoke of?"

"As expected, the master is the best."

Then her eyes dimmed, and she sighed slightly, "If only my martial arts talent were higher."

As the carriages slowly drove towards the Blackwood Prefecture, everyone felt a burst of murderous aura, as if even the dust in the air was trembling.

Groups of black-armored soldiers stood like iron towers, holding long spears with a cold glint, strictly guarding every checkpoint,

as if conducting the most stringent spot checks, or silently declaring that this place was inviolable.

The imagined scene of bustling traffic and crowds of pedestrians did not appear.

The yamen runners who were originally at the city gate were nowhere to be seen.

Instead, there were serious-looking, helmeted and armored soldiers standing in formation, ready for battle.

The group in the carriage did not dare to say more, their bodies tense.

Zhao Wei and Xu Miao, as martial artists in the Bone Forging Realm,

naturally had a higher sense of Qi than the people around them.

The relaxed expressions on their faces were replaced with a hint of solemnity.

"These armored soldiers are very different," Zhao Wei said with emotion.

Xu Miao nodded and said, "Their Qi is connected as one, truly a good method."

The female members of the family in the carriage did not come out.

But through the cracks in the curtains, they could also feel their tense nerves finally relax at this moment.

As the carriages slowly moved forward, the soldiers blocking the road also stepped aside, and the Blackwood Prefecture's convoy once again embarked on the road to the mansion.

Cai'er covered her chest and said, "Is this the Blackwood Prefecture?"
