The Secret to Picking Up Girls

On the other side of the canyon, dozens of horse-drawn carts were transporting supplies, escorted by hundreds of people in various outfits. Oddly, there were soldiers mixed with young people in martial attire, making it clear they weren't ordinary folk. This was the group escorting supplies to Kunlun!

Originally, the Kunlun派's previous supply convoys had been completely wiped out by the 天府 people. So, the Huashan, Kongtong, and Wuyi派 disciples chosen to escort this time were quite apprehensive. After all, this was no joke. If anything happened, they could lose their lives. But unexpectedly, the journey had been incredibly peaceful. It wasn't nearly as dangerous as they'd anticipated.

"Hey, A-Dong, is this rumor a bit of an exaggeration? Weren't the Kunlun派 escorts supposed to be meeting certain death? Why hasn't anything happened to us?" A Huashan派 disciple couldn't help but ask his senior brother ahead of him.

The Huashan派 disciple, hearing this, nodded in surprise and said, "Yeah, I find it strange too. I wonder if they're too intimidated by the reputation of our three great sects to act!"

The first Huashan派 disciple shook his head. "I don't think so. If they were really afraid of us, they wouldn't have attacked at all. The fiends in our three great sects' forbidden grounds wouldn't have been released. I think there must be another reason!"

The other Huashan派 disciple seemed to agree, nodding slightly and saying, "Hmm, we should be more careful then."

Unlike the disciples of these sects, the National Security Department's internal guard队 maintained strict discipline, with no one speaking along the way. They were extremely vigilant, especially when passing through dangerous areas.

Suddenly, the captain of the National Security Department at the front shouted, "Stop!"

At this, an elder responsible from the Huashan派 frowned and asked the captain, "What is it? Why are you stopping?"

The captain frowned and said to the Huashan派 elder, "The area ahead is dangerous. If the enemy ambushes us there, we'll be in trouble."

The National Security Department captain thought the Huashan派 elder would understand his meaning, but as soon as he finished speaking, the elder burst out laughing. He shook his head at the captain and said, "You worldly people probably don't understand the customs of our martial world. We're not marching into battle. If the enemy really wants to attack us, they'll appear even if we don't enter the canyon. What's meant to come will come."

The National Security Department captain nodded solemnly upon hearing this. "Perhaps you're right, but I still think we should be careful."

Just as the隊 leader of the National Security Department's special operations team finished speaking, a plume of black smoke drifted out of the canyon. The smoke was very strange and spread extremely quickly.

"Not good, poison!" It was the Kunlun派 elder responsible for receiving them who spoke. Having grown up in Kunlun, he knew that this kind of thing shouldn't exist here, so he immediately reacted.
