C55

In this battle, the losses of Divine Martial City and Escort Regiment could be said to be disastrous.

The substitute commander, Yin Zhijie, had been severely injured and had fainted. Vice Commander Zhao Fang had spent all of her effort on one arm, causing all six Captains to die. Eight centurions had been killed, more than thirty lightly injured, and a dozen of them were heavily injured. Even including Sun Xue Shan and Liu Xuan Ren, there were less than ten.

When Li Sicong brought everyone back to the Earth God Ship, he immediately ordered the helmsman to drive the boat to a place far away from the mouth of the ocean, so as to prevent Escort Regiment from continuing to chase them.

At this time, a young man who was originally guarding the boat, who was around the same age as Li Sicong and was equally handsome, walked out of the cabin. When he saw Li Sicong, he asked: "Junior Brother, what's wrong, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"

The moment Li Sicong saw this person, he said unhappily: "Senior Brother Huo, I've underestimated those people from Escort Regiment. I never thought that their strength was so much higher than I expected, to the point that even Hall Master Jin was injured in their hands."

The person who came "oh" asked: "Then how is Hall Master Jin's injury?"

Upon hearing the other party's question, Li Sicong immediately drooped his head and said dejectedly: "To cover us while we escaped, Hall Master Jin ignited his own Natal Elemental Energy. Although I have consumed the Martial Ancestor's Spirit Recovery Pill in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight with anyone in the future. "

That person replied with an "oh", as if he wasn't really concerned about Jin Wujing's injuries. He then continued, "Who can you blame for this? Back then, when I said that I would go with you, you and Hall Master Jin wouldn't go without me. Now that you've returned in defeat, you can only blame yourselves for not listening to me back then. "

The man made Li Sicong's face turn red, then white, but he could only stay silent. Here, he could lose his temper at anyone, but not at the man in front of him. He could not and did not dare.

Li Sicong did not dare, but someone else did. Just as the man finished speaking, a coquettish, husky voice came from behind him.

"Huo Yunjian, you little rascal, don't talk so sarcastically. The back door of this old woman's house is burning with pain right now. If you dare to stay here and gloat, I'll let you have a taste of this too. "

The one who spoke was Ren Ji, who had been stabbed in the butt by Zhao Fang. did not dare to offend Huo Yunjian, and there was also someone who did not dare to offend Huo Yunjian, and that was this Ren Ji.

Hearing Ren Ji's curses from the cabin, Li Sicong had found a way out. He anxiously pulled Huo Yunjian and said: "Senior brother Huo, Granny Ren is currently in the fire, let's hide for a bit."

Huo Yunjian glanced at the cabin, and muttered: "Old slut!" After that, he followed Li Sicong to the cabin on the other side.

Leng Jun found out from Hua Linglong that the person who kidnapped those noble women from the Divine Martial City was one of the Earth Divine King's subordinates, and followed behind the Divine Martial City. He also wanted to see the background of this Earth Divine King. Besides, he had been accused of being a "rapist", so he had to take this opportunity to wash away his guilt.

However, halfway through their journey, an accident occurred.

Leng Jun walked the entire way, but did not ride a horse. So his speed was slower than his Divine Martial City by quite a bit, and in the blink of an eye, it had already darkened.

Leng Jun originally wanted to travel through the night, but then thought about it, the Escort Regiment should not launch an attack at night. Because the Earth Divine King's boat was at sea, it was not easy to surprise her. Furthermore, since the other party had a boat, he would definitely be able to swim quite well. If the other party had prepared beforehand, then the one who would be at a disadvantage would be Escort Regiment.

Although Yin Zhijie was young, he was, after all, the disciple of the East Astral Sect Sect Master. Moreover, the three vice commanders beside him were all experienced fighters, so they shouldn't have made such a small mistake.

Leng Jun eventually deduced that Escort Regiment would not cause a surprise attack at night, so he decided to first find an inn to eat something, then sleep. He would get up to travel later in the middle of the night, so that he would be able to reach the sea entrance by dawn.

Just as Leng Jun wanted to rest, he coincidentally saw an inn. Leng Jun did not hesitate anymore and walked into the tavern.

The inn was not big, and had two floors. Other than the counter on the first floor, there were four other tables for customers to eat at. Upstairs, there was a row of about ten rooms. It was a place for the guests to rest.

In a small inn, the food and living conditions were very ordinary. Leng Jun simply asked for a bowl of hot soup noodles, then went upstairs to rest after eating.

Leng Jun's method of rest was not to fall asleep like ordinary people. Instead, he was lying on the bed and silently ordered his Natal Elemental Energy to absorb the light emitted from the Elemental Energy Space.

In the past few days, Leng Jun had first been hanging out with the woman named Yuan Hong at the "Qingyan Hall", and then, for Yun Jian's sake, stayed in the Divine Palace for two consecutive days. Besides the Divine Palace, which allowed him to chase after the Escort Regiment without stopping, there was simply no time for him to cultivate her spirit energy. Thus, taking advantage of her free time, Leng Jun cultivated all the soul force he had learnt from South Heavenly King, Beiyou Sect, and the Nanqiao Sect once.

Leng Jun was already very familiar with the process of urging Natal Elemental Energy to absorb the light. Therefore, before he laid down, he had already calculated the time. After he finished cultivating all of this, it was just past midnight and he could get up to hurry on his journey.

However, he discovered that something wasn't quite right when he woke up. The Crystal Sword that was placed beside him had actually disappeared. Furthermore, the box of Dragon's Saliva Pill that he had stolen from the Divine Palace was also completely at a loss of what to do.

Leng Jun was shocked, because when he was training his spirit energy, he was extremely sensitive to his surroundings. There was actually someone who could cultivate Essence on him and stealthily steal all the things on his body without him even noticing. This was simply uninteresting.

If that person didn't want the Crystal Sword and that box of pellets, but Leng Jun's brain, wouldn't that be too terrifying?

Leng Jun stood up from the bed, his eyes continuously looked around the room, hoping to find some clues. However, the doors and windows of the room were all tightly shut, and it didn't look like someone had come here before. Only, there was a note on the table in Leng Jun's room.

Leng Jun anxiously went forward to take a look at the note, only to see a few simple words written on it: If you want to retrieve the treasure, I will see you at the Eastern Mountain Graveyard.

Leng Jun held the note, and couldn't help but think: "Just who is this person, to actually have such great ability, and to even meet me in such a strange place. However, the other party shouldn't be their enemy, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't have left such a promise behind. "

With that in mind, Leng Jun decided to immediately head to the Eastern Mountain Graveyard to investigate, as stated in the note.
