A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Without any hesitation, Chen Yang quickly stepped forward.

With a "swoosh," the Twilight Sword in his hand struck Qian Peng's neck, severing his head in one fell swoop!

Only then did Chen Yang finally feel completely relieved.

Liu Tong, lying on the ground, was rapidly turning pale and emaciated. He could no longer get up. He turned to Chen Yang and tried to speak, "City Lord Chen Yang, it seems I misjudged you. It turns out City Lord Chen is truly a capable and patriotic man!"

Chen Yang walked over to Liu Tong and squatted down.

Liu Tong extended his bloodied hand, coughed, and blood spilled from his mouth, but a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He said, "Lord Chen, I trouble you... I trouble you to take this batch of ore to the capital and deliver it to His Majesty. This matter is extremely important; it concerns... the safety of our Great Ming Dynasty!"

Chen Yang frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Liu Tong was completely relieved and continued, "Although the iron ore is not valuable, it is an indispensable part of our Great Ming's Iron Great Wall Formation. There are five places in our Great Ming Kingdom where iron ore is found. Just an hour ago, I received news that mining at the other four sites had failed, so... our site is our only hope!"

"Without these 10 tons of iron ore, the Great Wall of Steel cannot be repaired. We would be unable to stop the Tartars from advancing south, and there would surely be widespread suffering!"

Chen Yang sighed and said, "Lord Liu, rest assured. As the city lord of Qingzhou City, I will definitely work with Miss Liu to transport this batch of ore to the capital!"

Liu Tong's eyes began to glaze over. He smiled and said, "That's good... but the journey will likely be difficult. The Prime Minister's residence is certainly heavily guarded everywhere. I'm counting on you..."

Liu Tong's voice grew softer and softer until it finally fell silent.

Chen Yang touched his carotid artery, sighed slightly, and then proceeded to rummage through Liu Tong and Qian Peng.

Qian Peng had over four thousand spirit stones at his waist, as well as a top-grade magic weapon, the Cracked Dagger!

Chen Yang took out more than two thousand spirit stones from Liu Tong's body.

However, what excited Chen Yang the most at this moment was not these spirit stones, but the black scale armor with black aura on Qian Peng's body!

Chen Yang tore off the black scale armor, his heart pounding.

This is absolutely top-tier equipment!

He got up and returned to Liu Qingxia's side, then with a wave of his hand, he put the Myriad Things Cage into his storage ring.

Below the cage of all things was a strangely shaped blood droplet, which Chen Yang also put into his storage ring.

Liu Qingxia stood there, swallowing hard.

Today's battle was absolutely thrilling, a fight that teetered on the brink of life and death!

She stepped forward and suddenly hugged Chen Yang.

Chen Yang patted her on the back and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Liu Qingxia hummed in agreement and asked, "Chen Yang, are we going to send this batch of iron ore to the capital?"

Chen Yang said, "Of course."

"But..." Liu Qingxia sighed, looking at Chen Yang, "I'm afraid the two of us alone cannot succeed. This is 10 tons of iron ore, and just as Liu Tong said, there will definitely be people from the Prime Minister's Mansion chasing and intercepting us along the way!"

"I think both the Eastern Depot and the Emperor must know about the Prime Minister's Mansion's conspiracy and obstruction, but even they couldn't handle the Prime Minister's Mansion's attack. The two of us alone simply can't do it!"

Chen Yang simply smiled and turned to look at the two carriages not far away.

Liu Qingxia stared at him in confusion, then raised her hand and took off Chen Yang's sunglasses.

There were still no eyeballs in Chen Yang's eye sockets.

Liu Qingxia asked with a puzzled look, "That's strange, Chen Yang. Can you even see? I feel like your eyesight is normal."

Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, then denied it, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even have eyeballs, how could I possibly see anything?"

"However, my spiritual sense is exceptionally strong. Although I cannot see, I can perceive everything around me—smells, aromas, temperature, and so on. Therefore, even though I cannot see, my perception is much clearer than that of most people!"

Liu Qingxia nodded, then gave a thumbs up and said, "I find you increasingly mysterious. It's truly strange that someone as powerful as you could have your eyes gouged out and your dantian destroyed by Ma Xinran, and be framed by the small Ma family!"

Chen Yang gave a wry smile and said, "Let's not talk about these things for now. Let's take the Qingtie Mine and leave."

Liu Qingxia gently put sunglasses on Chen Yang and walked towards the two carriages.

Ten tons of zirconia ore is very large and very heavy.

Liu Qingxia frowned slightly, lost in thought.

Of course, she also wanted to complete the transport mission and deliver the iron ore to the palace, but her remaining rationality told her that this task was absolutely impossible to succeed, and the price of failure would be her and Chen Yang's lives!

After hesitating for five seconds, Liu Qingxia sighed and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, let's give up! You're so young and already have such talent, strength, and opportunities; you shouldn't get involved in the struggle between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Royal Family. I..."

She was still talking when Chen Yang simply waved his hand.

The next moment, the baskets of iron ore loaded onto the two carriages vanished instantly!

Liu Qingxia stood there, stunned.

Chen Yang shook his finger and said with a smile, "See, isn't it much simpler now? I'll put them in my storage ring, and all we need to do is get to the capital."

Liu Qingxia opened her mouth. She wasn't ignorant; she naturally knew that storage rings existed.

But such extraordinary items only exist among the most elite and powerful cultivators in the capital!

Moreover, those rumored storage rings can only hold a few boxes of iron ore at most!

But Chen Yang actually managed to put all 10 tons of iron ore into his storage ring in an instant!

Where did this guy get such an incredible storage treasure?

Chen Yang did not explain.

The reason he dared to agree to Liu Tong's request was naturally because he possessed a storage ring with a large storage space!

Otherwise, driving two carriages to the capital would be absolutely suicidal!

Chen Yang walked to the two black-clad guards, squatted down, and touched the two monstrous-looking guards, saying, "These guards seem to be a hybrid of humans and demonic beasts."

Liu Qingxia walked over and said, "Indeed. The Prime Minister's residence, I don't know what method they used, to transform humans into such monsters. It's truly terrifying!"

Chen Yang searched the area for a while, and then he and Liu Qingxia each jumped onto a large horse and rode away into the night.

This time, they did not return to Qingzhou City, but headed straight for the capital.

Two hours later.

Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia ran more than 200 kilometers in one go.

Ahead lies a small town built on the banks of the river.

Chen Yang slowed down and said to Liu Qingxia beside him, "Let's rest here for a bit, and find a carriage to continue our journey tomorrow."

Liu Qingxia said, "Okay, you must be tired too. Let's take a break."

The two abandoned their horses and stopped in front of an inn.

Although it was late at night, lanterns were still lit in the inn.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the waiter yawned and came out, asking, "Are you two looking for a place to stay?"

Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia stepped forward, and Chen Yang said, "Yes, let's rest for the night. Get us a top-notch guest room."

The waiter led the two into the shop.

He asked, "Would you like one room or two?"

Chen Yang immediately replied, "One room!"

"Alright, one superior room. Please follow me!"

The waiter led the two to a room on the left side of the second floor.

The room contained a bed, a wardrobe, and a wooden bucket of clean water; it was quite spacious. Opening the window revealed the rolling river, creating a very elegant environment.

After lighting the oil lamps for the two men, the waiter respectfully left.

Chen Yang entered the room, pretending not to see her, and asked Liu Qingxia, "Is there a place to take a shower in this room?"

Liu Qingxia nodded and said, "Yes, but there's only one bucket of water."

Chen Yang stroked his chin and said, "Well... how about we shower together?"
