The carriage was moving swiftly towards Lilium City. The horses were galloping as fast as they could. The city boy had sweat on his forehead.
"Just a little more, we can reach there." While he was focusing on driving the carriage, he saw a red light coming from the right. He panicked and was about to stop the horses, but the light came too fast.
It came with perfect accuracy and timing which instantly chopped off the ropes binding the horses. The carriage lost its balance and fell to the ground. Not only that, but the horses panicked and ran away.
The city boy fell and hit his head straight to the ground. There was blood coming from his forehead and soon he passed out. Isla came out of the carriage with Hendrix. But Hendrix still could not walk properly, so Isla was supporting him with her hands.
"Damn, what happened? I only felt a strong Qi coming towards us." Hendrix whispered.
"I think it might be an ambush. That person might have been waiting for an opportunity." Isla was about to check up on the city boy but loud laughter was heard from the back.
"Haha, you are right." Two people came out from hiding.
Seeing their robes, Hendrix exclaimed, "You guys are the disciples of the Blood Saber Sect."
"What? What do they want from us?" Isla started panicking thinking about them.
Everyone knows that the disciples of the Blood Saber Sect all have strong cultivation. Especially these two, they were both at the late stage of Qi refining. Even though they were not as strong as Daxton, they were still very terrifying.
Hendrix came infront of Isla and said, "Junior Sister, you try to run. I will try to buy some time for you."
If this was the previous Hendrix, then he would have never said these things. But after the incident with Davion, he had changed a lot. He understood a lot of things.
"Senior brother, you are completely injured. You cannot even use your Qi. Even if you were at your peak state, you might not be able to stop them." Isla knew that they might not be able to run away from them. So, before they could get near them, she tried her luck hoping for some miracle.
"Shadow bind"
Black tentacles made from her Qi shot towards their legs trying to bind them. They were not ready for this sudden attack, so these tentacles immediately bound their legs.
Taking this opportunity, she caught Hendrix and started running away from them.
"Haha, do you think that these little things could stop us?"
They used some part of their Qi and immediately broke free from them.
After breaking free, one of them took out a saber from his ring and infused it with his Qi. The saber glowed red and he then threw it straight towards Isla who was running away.
Isla who was running away felt a strong sense of danger coming from her back. When she turned around, a red saber flew a few centimeters away from her cheek and stabbed the trunk of a tree which was a few meters away.
Even though the saber didn't touch her, there was still a small gash on her cheek. She put her hands on her cheek and felt some drops of blood coming out of it.
She felt really frightened after experiencing this and fell on the ground with Hendrix. Her whole body was soaked with sweat.
"Did you think that you could escape from us?"
The two of them came near her and pulled her hair up. Seeing her face, they laughed.
"Why? What have we done to you guys? We have no bad blood between us." Isla managed to speak with great difficulty.
"Hehe, you are gonna die here anyway. Even though we don't know much about it, there is no harm in telling you what we know." One of them laughed.
"It was our elder who ordered us to keep an eye over you guys. I think your Sect Master possesses something that is very important to our elders."
"What?" listening to them, Hendrix got startled.
"Do they want the secret art kept by the Sect Master?" This was Hendrix's first thought.
"We spoke too much, let's kill them here and finish the task. Or else our elder might get angry again." One of them looked impatient.
"We have been spying on them the whole day. We didn't even get the chance to participate in the Conference. So, I am feeling really bored. Why don't we play with her here?" The other disciple licked his lips and had perverted thoughts.
"Eh!, this girl looks pretty good. We might as well get some benefits for doing this troublesome task. Hehe…"
When they were about to do something, they heard an imposing voice coming from the back.
"Fools, what took you so long? I was already getting impatient waiting for you guys."
A young man who was bandaged all over his body came from that direction.
"Senior Brother Daxton, why did you come here?" They panicked and immediately threw Isla to the ground.
Daxton looked at them and finally set his sights upon Isla. He could make some guesses from this. But he didn't want to waste his time talking about this. So, he went straight to the point.
"The elder especially sent me to handle that new disciple. But why didn't I see him here?"
When Daxton asked this question, both these disciples had sweat on their foreheads because they forgot about him. When they saw the carriage outside the inn, they thought that everyone was prepared to leave. So, they immediately went to report their elder. But who could have thought that the new disciple had not entered the carriage?
