“Young friend, wait a moment. I’ll arrange things now,” said the old man before leaving.

Ji Changfeng returned a moment later with three other martial artists in tow. One was a burly man, while the other two were men in their forties.

They were to participate in the escort mission, too. Ji Changfeng introduced Su Nan to the others. The burly man was Song Zhi, and the relatively taller of the two middle-aged men was Cheng Dao, while the somewhat shorter one was Miao Hong.

These three had also been severely injured in the previous battle, but they hadn’t completely lost their combat strength and were in better shape than the others.

Song Zhi smiled and said, “Brother Zhang Yang, our safety depends entirely on you this time!”

Cheng Dao and Miao Hong nodded in agreement, adding, “That’s right. Our combined strength probably isn’t even as strong as yours alone, Brother Zhang. Whether we can safely reach Tianyun City is up to you.”

Su Nan smiled, “Since you trust me so much, I will do my best to not disappoint.”

Since he was preparing to join the Demon Hunting Bureau as Zhang Yang, it was necessary for him to establish a good relationship with his new comrades. Without wasting any more time, they set off.

A moment later, a carriage left the Demon Hunting Bureau.

The horses pulling the carriage were no ordinary horses. These Spirit Breath Horses possessed a demon bloodline that focused on speed.

Although they had no combat power, their speed rivaled that of Peak Mortal Level demons. Moreover, their endurance was astonishing, as they could gallop at their fastest speed for five or six hours without any problem.

“It’s over 800 miles from Nine Pavilion County to Tianyun City. If nothing unexpected happens, we should get there in about three hours with the Spirit Breath Horses,” they calculated.

Three hours?

“Right now, it’s only 6 PM in reality, so if everything goes smoothly, I should be able to make it to Tianyun City before the Task Refresh,” Su Nan pondered.

The carriage sped along, kicking up a cloud of dust behind it. The muscular Song Zhi steered the carriage while Su Nan and the others huddled inside. Ji Changfeng explained:

Under the jurisdiction of the Great Yu Dynasty, most areas are safe along the official road, with only a few dangerous areas.”

There are three risky places along the way from Nine Pavilion County to Tianyun City: Turtle King Lake, Giant Peak, and Tiger Roar Town.”

“In the years prior, the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition in East Chen was mostly intact and was successful in limiting the demons’ power, so these places were relatively safe.”

“However, as the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition has been gradually damaged by the demon clan, these places have become increasingly dangerous, with large numbers of demons frequently appearing.” “Not only ordinary people, but even martial artists may lose their lives when passing through these areas. Whether we can arrive safely is purely a matter of luck.”

Su Nan nodded, readying himself for the task’s difficulty.

If he were to go to Tianyun County alone, he could easily change his appearance to that of a demon, thus reducing the chances of being targeted by other demons.

However, now that he had Ji Changfeng and the others with him, that plan wouldn’t work.

An hour later, they’d traveled more than 200 miles.

Along the way, Su Nan didn’t dare use his foreknowledge skills carelessly. He had 15 opportunities that seemed like a lot, but in the face of extreme danger, 15 wasn’t many.

Along the way, they encountered a demon, but it was only a Mortal-level one. Ji Changfeng noticed it first from a distance, and Su Nan easily dispatched it, receiving 5 demon power points.

His usable demon power had now reached 32 points. With Ji Changfeng around, he couldn’t upgrade his Demon Sutra without drawing suspicion, so he decided to hold onto the points for now.

The Spirit Breath Horse raced like a car driving at high speed in reality. The party soon arrived at a vast open area. With only a few scattered ancient trees, their line of sight was unobstructed for thousands of meters.

Just as Su Nan thought that no demons would appear for the next part of their journey, Ji Changfeng’s expression suddenly changed, and he whispered, “We’re approaching Turtle King Lake. Everyone, be cautious.”contemporary romance

Turtle King Lake?

Su Nan was momentarily shocked, as the lake was one of the three dangerous places Ji Changfeng had previously mentioned.

“Foreknowledge!” Su Nan silently activated his skill.

[Traveling with Ji Changfeng and the others to Tianyun County City on Spirit Breath Horses, you approach Turtle King Lake after over an hour of travel.] [One minute later, you are four miles away from Turtle King Lake.] [Two minutes later, you are two miles away from Turtle King Lake.] [Three minutes later, you finally reach the edge of Turtle King Lake.] [End of first prediction, continue?]

“Continue!”

[Turtle King Lake is vast, there’s a rumor that a Turtle King once lived in the lake. You are not sure if the legend is true, but the Turtle King is already dead.] [You travel along the official road, a hundred meters away from Turtle King Lake, without encountering any anomalies.]

[The surface of Turtle King Lake is calm and silent. One minute later, you are ten miles away from leaving Turtle King Lake.]

[Two minutes later, you are eight miles away from leaving Turtle King Lake.] [However, at this moment, ripples start to form on the originally calm lake surface. The Spirit Breath Horse senses danger and speeds up to leave Turtle King Lake as soon as possible.]

[Feeling that something is off, you stay vigilant and prepare for any action.] [Unbeknownst to you, an invisible demon is crouched atop your carriage, its massive body covering the entire roof.]

[The demon doesn’t attack you immediately but waits silently.]

[Three minutes later, you are six miles away from leaving Turtle King Lake.]

[End of second prediction, continue?]

“Is danger coming after all?”

“What kind of demon is it?”

Su Nan’s heart sinks. It’s not just him on the carriage, but also the Xuan Level Expert Ji Changfeng.

Although Ji Changfeng is severely injured and only has a fraction of his strength, his perception as a powerful person is still there.

This could be seen from the fact that Ji Changfeng was the first to detect the first Mortal-level demon.

However, this time, a demon has already reached the roof of the carriage, and

Ji Changfeng hasn’t detected it at all. It’s definitely not simple.

“Well, this is a problem. Passing through the first dangerous place with such bad luck.” Su Nan is helpless.

“Continue the prediction!”

[Unaware of the imminent danger, you keep riding the carriage forward,

wanting to leave Turtle King Lake as soon as possible.]

[One minute later, you are four miles away from leaving Turtle King Lake.]

[Two minutes later, you are two miles away from leaving Turtle King Lake.]

[Three minutes later, you finally reach the end of Turtle King Lake and are about to leave.]

[You are dead!]

Dead?

What’s going on!

Su Nan’s face changes as he knew that there would be trouble the moment the demon appeared.

But he did not expect that in the end, he would die without making any noise, without any resistance.

This is too strange.

He’s not the Mortal Level Martial artist he was when he first entered the game.

Now, if he really fights for his life, he can even take on a Xuan-level demon.

Even the late Xuan-stage Black Cloud Pig Demon would not find it easy to kill him.

Unless it’s a Demon King!

A thought flashes through his mind, and Su Nan’s pupils constrict.

This place is called Turtle King Lake. If it weren’t for the prediction telling him that the Turtle King was already dead, he would have suspected that the demon in the prediction was the Turtle King itself.

Ji Changfeng, who is by his side, notices Su Nan’s unusual behavior and asks,

What’s the matter, young friend? Have you discovered something?”

At the sound of his voice, Miao Hong and Cheng Dao, who were carefully observing their surroundings, look at Su Nan. Even Song Zhi, who was driving the carriage, can’t help but look inside the carriage.

Su Nan stays silent for a moment and says, “I have a bad feeling.”

“A bad feeling?”

“Brother Zhang Yang, is your intuition accurate?” Cheng Dao can’t help but ask.

Su Nan shakes his head without answering, his expression extremely solemn.

If his guess is correct and the demon is truly a Demon King level, they have no chance of making it through this route.

Seeing his expression, the others exchange glances. While they don’t know where Su Nan’s intuition comes from, they also feel uneasy in their hearts.

After pondering for a moment, Su Nan says, “Don’t keep going forward. Stop the carriage here, and I’ll go explore ahead.”

Song Zhi, who is driving the carriage, reacts swiftly and immediately controls

the Spirit Breath Horse to stop. “I’ll go with you.”

“I’m coming too!”

And me!” Cheng Dao and Miao Hong quickly respond as well.

Su Nan waves them off, “No need. If something dangerous really happens, it’s safer for me to be alone.”

Of course, he doesn’t plan to actually scout ahead. He just wants to find a place to wait for the prediction to cool down and continue predicting.

He wants to try if he can pass through Turtle King Lake alone..
