The divine manifestations began at the Gongwei Division.

Chapter 78 The Learned General Lu

Zhou Heng sat on the escort vehicle, his tightly furrowed brows never relaxing.

The bodyguards noticed his expression, and none of them dared to approach.

Everyone subconsciously lowered their movements and even spoke in hushed tones, for fear of disturbing Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng didn't notice the reactions of the bodyguards at all.

He kept observing that wisp of power in his mind.

Just as they were on their way, that force actually grew stronger.

This made Zhou Heng increasingly uneasy.

This power comes out of nowhere and will grow stronger on its own.

It's like some unknown thing suddenly growing inside your body, and that thing keeps growing. Who wouldn't be afraid of that?

Zhou Heng increasingly felt that he had been tricked by some kind of conspiracy.

If the danger countdown hadn't failed to warn him of the danger, he would probably be even more panicked right now.

"If I had known, I should have brought Xue Zhiwei with me."

Zhou Heng thought to himself.

Xue Zhiwei is knowledgeable and experienced; she might be able to tell what's going on.

Now that he's all alone, not only can he not ask Lin Qingshan, but even if he did, Lin Qingshan probably wouldn't know what's going on.

"By the way, Lin Hanyuan is known as the King of Southern Medicine, so he should have outstanding medical skills."

Zhou Heng thought of someone.

The shipment that Zhenyuan Escort Agency was escorting was for Lin Hanyuan, the King of Southern Medicine.

Perhaps, once I reach the capital of Shu Prefecture, I can go and see Lin Hanyuan.

With such a prestigious title as the "King of Southern Medicine," he should be able to see what kind of problem he has.

"If even the King of Southern Medicine can't see the problem, then the problem is really serious."

Zhou Heng thought to himself.

Fortunately.

That force merely wandered aimlessly within his consciousness, without causing any harm.

On the contrary, when that power traveled through his sea of consciousness, it brought him a cool and refreshing feeling, and even his mind seemed to become much clearer.

If it weren't for the strange origin of this power, Zhou Heng would have thought that he had cultivated it himself.

The carriage clattered forward.

Zhou Heng suddenly raised his head.

"Chief镖师 Lin"

He raised his voice.

Lin Qingshan reined in his horse and quickly ran to Zhou Heng.

"grown ups."

Lin Qingshan cupped his hands in a fist salute.

"Let the brothers stop and rest, we have guests."

Zhou Heng said calmly.

Lin Qingshan's expression changed slightly. "Yes!"

Along the way, he had come to regard Zhou Heng as a god.

Zhou Heng was always able to sense the approaching monsters before they attacked.

Lin Qingshan didn't think much of it, assuming it was because Zhou Heng's strength far surpassed his own, which was why he was able to sense the monster's movements.

This is not surprising.

Not to mention Zhou Heng, even a sixth-rank martial artist like him could hear everything happening within a radius of several dozen feet.

With Zhou Heng's strength, his perception range would only be greater.

Moreover, Lin Qingshan also knew that Zhou Heng was not only a martial artist, but also a celestial official!

Lin Qingshan called out, and the bodyguards busied themselves setting up camp, starting a fire, and cooking.

There was no fear on their faces, but rather a hint of excitement.

For these bodyguards, this escort mission was both the most dangerous and the safest in their careers.

The danger was that the cargo they were escorting was extremely valuable, attracting the covetous eyes of countless monsters, and they almost suffered total annihilation.

Fortunately, they encountered the Garrison Commander of the Imperial Guard, who accompanied them throughout the journey.

The monsters they encountered on the road were almost powerless against the sword of the garrison commander.

They were really caught off guard this time, and it opened their eyes to a whole new world.

Even just a glimpse of a powerful figure like the Commander of the Imperial Guard slaying demons and monsters is enough for them to boast about for years.

Some highly perceptive bodyguards even gleaned many martial arts principles from these successive battles.

Now, when they hear that monsters are attacking, their first reaction is not fear, but rather that they will be able to broaden their horizons once again.

Commander Zhou's movements in slaying demons and monsters were so elegant and beautiful!

…………

Above the canyon.

A group of monsters had been lying in ambush for several days.

The Seventh Lady went to steal the Demon King's bone, but her entire army was wiped out.

When this news reached the king, he flew into a rage.

In order to avenge the Seventh Madam and to seize the Demon King's Bone, they were dispatched.

Leading the group was a fifth-rank demon under the command of Qingyang Mountain Lord, a patrol general whose strength surpassed that of the Seventh Lady, and whose name was Deer Whirlwind.

General Deer lay prone behind a boulder, fully prepared.

Once the caravan passes by, it and its men will push these boulders down.

Then it will smash another wave of people to death, and then take advantage of the chaos to lead its men in a charge.

When it patrols the mountains, it often wears a painted mask and sneaks into the city to listen to storytellers.

This method of ambush was something it had heard from a storyteller.

Besides rolling stones, it also learned fire attacks and water attacks.

It's not like the Seventh Madam, a monster who only uses brute force; General Lu is a genius!

The higher you stand, the farther you can see.

It had already spotted the caravan in the distance and was eager to try its luck.

suddenly.

The caravan actually stopped!

It stopped!

It's only past noon, and it's still a long time before it gets dark. Why have these humans stopped?

They even set up tents, so it's clearly not just a temporary rest!

This general has already dug the trap, are you all going to stop?

If you don't go into the canyon, how can I execute my rolling stone plan?

Lu Xuanfeng's resentment surged by 10,000 points.

"General, it seems they've stopped."

A monster approached and whispered.

Deer Whirlwind glared at it fiercely, "Do you need my nonsense? Can't this general see me?"

"It's alright!"

Lu Xuanfeng snorted coldly, "Since they have set up camp outside the canyon, let's launch a night raid!"

"When they're sound asleep at night, we'll storm in and wipe them out, leaving not a single one alive!"

Lu Xuanfeng is a man of great strategy and tactics.

The other monsters looked at each other in bewilderment.

"General, is this really necessary? There are only twenty or thirty human bodyguards. If we swarm them, we can wipe them out in less than half an hour—"

One of the monsters said, completely disregarding the bodyguards.

"What do you know? Seventh Madam thought just like you, which is why she suffered a complete defeat."

Lu Xuanfeng sneered, "These bodyguards look ordinary, but there must be some experts among them."

Fighting head-on is the least intelligent thing to do.

Our strategy for dealing with humanity is to achieve the greatest results with the least amount of effort.

Using their military tactics against them is called using their own methods against them.

You should all learn from this.

All the monsters looked at Deer Whirlwind with admiration and praised him, saying, "He truly deserves to be the most learned General Deer under the King's command!"

We will all obey the General.

…………

Following Zhou Heng's instructions, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency set up camp.

Based on past experience, it won't be long before monsters attack.

They waited with great anticipation.

One hour—

Two hours...

The sun has already set.

The monster has not yet appeared.

All eyes turned to Zhou Heng.

Could it be that Commander Zhou made a mistake?

There are no monsters nearby?
