I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 20 Hiding deeply
The next day.

A hint of paleness appeared on the horizon.

The sound of birds singing came from the treetops.

As the moon sets and the sun rises, the sleeping world gradually wakes up and the vision becomes brighter.

After a night of practice, Lai Yang's blood and energy surged throughout his body, and his strength and blood and energy increased slightly.

As expected, the feeling of practicing high-grade swordsmanship is different. It is several times stronger than the low-grade Gale Blade.

With his spiritual attribute of more than 200 points, he cultivated the Nine Heavens Big Dipper Sword to the minor success level in just one night.

Just as Lai Yang was practicing swordsmanship day and night, someone suddenly knocked on the door of his courtyard.

dong dong dong...

Lai Yang breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sheathed his sword, wiped the sweat from his face, and walked forward to open the door.

The person knocking on the door was a steward from Prince Wu's mansion.

The butler bowed respectfully and then said, "Sir, please get ready. The carriage is ready and we can set off at any time."

Lai Yang looked at the sweat on his body and nodded awkwardly: "Wait a moment, I'll go wash it."

"Okay, I'll arrange for two maids to help you bathe."

"It's just a small matter, I can do it myself."

A moment later, Lai Yang changed into clean clothes and went out to see the housekeeper waiting outside.

Lai Yang followed the housekeeper out of Prince Wu's mansion and came to the back door of Prince Wu's mansion.

At this moment, two carriages stopped at the back door.

It has an ordinary appearance but a large interior space, and the chairs are cushioned with comfortable materials, so you won’t feel any discomfort when you sit on them.

A carriage with a luxurious and majestic appearance, which is obviously the carriage for dignitaries.

Lord Mo stood between the two carriages and saw Lai Yang come out and waved to him.

Mo Ruyan had already boarded an ordinary and comfortable carriage and was looking at the situation outside through the small window with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

"I've already arranged everything else. Once you get on the carriage, someone will open the city gates. It's about ten miles from the Imperial City. I've arranged for the Silver Armored Army to pick you up there and escort you safely back to Northern Frontier City. From then on, I'll ask you to take good care of Ruyan along the way."

Lord Mo stepped forward and patted Lai Yang on the shoulder. He glanced at the sword in his hand and gave him instructions seriously.

Lai Yang nodded: "Yeah."

Needless to say, he knows what's going on.

"Dad, please come with us. The imperial city is too dangerous." Mo Ruyan looked at Mo Shenjun and Lai Yang outside the carriage with an uneasy look in her eyes.

Lord Mo turned to look at Mo Ruyan and gently comforted her, "You go ahead. Dad will catch up with you in two days. Be careful on the road and don't act willfully."

Mo Ruyan seemed to see Lord Mo's determination and remained silent, stopping trying to persuade him.

She actually understood in her heart that they could leave the imperial city smoothly, but once Lord Mo left the imperial city, it would alarm the court.

So he had to stay, attract other people's attention, and ensure that the two of them could leave the imperial city safely.

Mo Ruyan is Lord Mo's weak spot and also his Achilles' heel.

Unless necessary, other court officials would not risk completely offending King Tongwu by taking action against them.

You should know that the word "Wu" in Tongwu Wang is not just a nice-sounding name.

"Go ahead, and take care."

"Take care of yourself."

Lai Yang got on the carriage with Mo Ruyan.

In addition to Mo Ruyan and Lai Yang, there was also a personal maid serving them in the carriage, and outside the carriage sat a coachman wearing a conical hat.

The two carriages set off simultaneously, the magnificent one in front, the ordinary one behind. Just as Lord Mo had said, they encountered no difficulty at the exit of the Imperial City and left smoothly.

"We're out of the city." Mo Ruyan said happily.

"The next section of the road will be difficult to walk on, so Princess needs to be careful." The personal maid said slowly.

Lai Yang understood that she was right, leaving the imperial city was just the beginning of the challenge.

The Silver Armor Army will meet them ten miles away. If someone really wants to take action, this section of the road in the middle is undoubtedly the most suitable.

When they reached the fork in the road, the two carriages did not stop at all and headed towards one of the two roads separately.

The gorgeous carriage took the left lane, while the ordinary carriage that Lai Yang and others were riding in took the middle lane.

The carriage had not moved far when its speed gradually slowed down until it stopped completely.

At this moment, a deep voice came from outside the carriage, and he shouted, "Princess, please get out of the carriage."

Anyone could hear the ill intentions in this person's tone. Mo Ruyan's face changed and her beautiful eyes subconsciously looked at Lai Yang.

Lai Yang gave her a reassuring look, took his sword and got off the carriage.

A man in black stopped in front of the horse. He was holding a big knife with more than ten iron rings on the back of the knife, which made a clanging sound when he moved. His arms were muscular and full of strength. The aura around him was thick and powerful, and his qi and blood had already entered the seventh level.

The first uninvited guest is the great martial artist. What kind of opponent will appear next?
The fighting spirit surged under Lai Yang's calm eyes, and his warlike blood seemed to be gradually awakening.

When the man in black saw Lai Yang show up, a cruel arc appeared on his lips: "Who are you? Tell me your name. I won't kill nameless ghosts with my sword."

"Get out of the way, don't block the road. Anyone who blocks the road will die."

Lai Yang looked up at the man in black and warned him coldly.

"You are so arrogant! Die! Remember my name. The one who kills you is 'Xiang Dao'."

The man in black rushed towards Lai Yang, dragging a big knife. The iron rings on the back of the knife made a clashing sound, which seemed to have the effect of disturbing consciousness.

Lai Yang remained calm and waited for the man in black to appear within the attack range. He placed his hand on the hilt of the sword and retracted it the moment the blade was unsheathed.

A gust of wind blew past, and then a body with its body parts separated appeared on the ground.

Lai Yang said nothing, and didn't even look at the body of the man in black. He turned around and returned to the carriage.

The man in black couldn't even block his sword, and his strength was at the bottom among the great martial artists. It was not worth wasting too much time on such a small fry.

"Just keep walking."

The driver nodded silently and continued driving the carriage forward.

After overcoming the first obstacle, I thought things would go much more smoothly afterwards.

Unexpectedly, when they advanced to the hillside two miles away, a group of masked thieves set an ambush and waited for them to fall into the trap.

The masked thieves were at least at the eighth-grade martial artist level, and the strongest one was even stronger than the previous one.

"Don't fight too long, just catch Mo Ruyan and leave."

"If you want to arrest someone, have you asked about the sword in my hand?"

There were seven masked men who took action, and each of them had extraordinary skills.

They seemed to see that Lai Yang was very skilled, so they assigned four people to hold him back, while the remaining three rushed towards the carriage without looking back.

At this moment, the driver, who had been silent all this time, took action.

He pulled at his hat, and faced with the attack of the three people without any panic, he raised the whip in his hand and whipped a few times at a moderate speed.

In an instant, the whip was whipped out with a sonic boom, hitting the three people who were approaching hard.

The three men were whipped and flew away, their skin torn and flesh exposed, and they fell to the ground groaning and wailing in pain.

Seeing this, Lai Yang felt at ease and decisively killed the four people in front of him.

He guessed correctly, none of the people arranged by Lord Mo were simple, they were all masters!
