C498 Three Sects
The others also withdrew their gazes and went to do their own things.
Following which, some people rode horses from the direction of Silver City and rushed over. Some stopped to greet and began to rest like them.
Some did not stop either, and directly urged their horses forward. Snow and soil flew about, forming an ugly color. The entire road was trampled out by the hooves of the horses.
Su Ze did not ask much when he saw the situation. He sat in the abandoned house and started the fire. He roasted the food unhurriedly. Anyway, these people would ride horses to open a path for him in the snow. He would not be able to finish rushing to his destination after that.
The food was wild pork chops that Gan Jing had marinated. They had the slight spiciness of coriander, the fragrance of spices, and were fat and thin. The fragrance of barbecued meat spread out, and a few martial artists who were in a hurry outside could not help but look over.
"Brother, can we change some food?" After watching for a while, a person could not help but bring a piece of silver over.
Su Ze did not refuse. He cut off a piece of meat and passed it to him, accepting the piece of silver.
That person muttered, "It's a good business..."
Usually, this piece of silver was enough for him to eat his fill. Now, he only exchanged it for this piece of meat that barely satiated his hunger.
After eating that piece of meat, that person continued to take care of his horse. When the others saw that he was safe and sound, they also used silver taels to buy Su Ze's grilled meat.
A piece of steak was not very big. In order to not attract attention, Su Ze did not suddenly take out an entire wild pork to roast and eat. He only ate two or three bites and earned sixty to seventy silver taels.
This bit of silver was obviously not considered much to Su Ze. It was just interesting and a disguise.
Not long after, the people who were resting mounted their horses one after another and left the abandoned houses. The people of the new Silver City rode their horses over again. Some were resting, while others continued to ride their horses forward.
"Hey!"
Su Ze raised his eyes in surprise and looked at the person who had spoken.
Lih Ruyan rode on the horse and gestured to him, "Do you want to follow us to Xingwu City?"
Su Ze asked, "How do we go?"
Lih Ruyan signaled a follower to get off the horse and pointed to the horse, "Let's go. You are also going to participate in the competition of the three sects' territories. My follower can go or not, but if you don't go, you will lose an important opportunity to show your face."
"I really have to thank you." Su Ze raised his hand to signal her. He threw the dozens of taels of silver he got from selling the grilled meat to the follower who got off the horse.
"It's not easy in this world of ice and snow. Let's go back to Silver City and eat some wine and meat!"
The subordinate of Lih Ruyan, who was originally a little resentful, immediately rejoiced upon receiving the silver. "Alright, this lord, you just need to go. This horse is for you to use!"
On the contrary, the follower who did not dismount looked at the silver somewhat enviously. He wished that he could exchange it with the follower who had dismembered the horse.
Lih Ruyan saw this scene and her straight eyebrows eased up a little. Although she did help him out of good intentions, this person wearing the bamboo hat had a good heart and it was worth it to help him.
Su Ze mounted the horse and headed towards Xingwu City with Lih Ruyan and the other six people.
Along the way, they did not speak much. They heard Lih Ruyan and the others talking as they rode the horse. Su Ze had a better understanding of Xingwu City and the three major sects' territories. This was also the reason why Su Ze agreed to Lih Ruyan's invitation to Su Ze. It was faster to mix in the crowd and get the news, so he hurried to Xingwu City alone. He also wanted to find out what the situation was like.
In Lih Ruyan's group of six, other than Lih Ruyan and a follower, there was also a follower called Zheng Fou and a follower called Lih Congyu.
Zheng Fou was obviously Lih Ruyan's admirer. From time to time, he would look at Su Ze with a scrutinizing gaze, suspecting that Su Ze had some bad intentions and wanted to compete with him for Lih Ruyan.
Lih Congyu, on the other hand, was Lih Ruyan's cousin. Currently, he was fifty-three years old, a Soul Separation Stage. He looked like an ordinary human in his early thirties. He estimated that he would still be like this for the next few decades. After all, the effect of cultivating martial arts to prolong one's life was something that ordinary people could never achieve, no matter how hard they trained.
Lih Congyu's attitude towards Su Ze was neither close nor repulsive. Occasionally, he would look at Su Ze's clothes and actions. Clearly, he was an experienced person. He had already guessed Su Ze's origin and identity many times in his heart.
Along the way, the three followers could only listen to orders. There was no place for them to talk. The main reason was that Zheng Fou and Lih Ruyan were talking. Lih Congyu and Su Ze were listening.
The reason why Su Ze got so much information about the competition in Xingwu City and the three sects' territories was because he really wanted to thank Zheng Fou for not saying anything when he was chasing Lih Ruyan. He wanted to show off his own performance. Sometimes, Lih Ruyan was obviously distracted, but he also kept talking. Lih Ruyan came back to her senses and said, "Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly just now." He could say it again for a while.
Xingwu City was 2000 miles away from Silver City. There were many cities in Diguang City, and they were separated by hundreds or thousands of miles from each other in Small Celestial Domain. This distance was not too far.
For the Soul Separation Stage warriors of Silver Links City who could only ride horses, it would take at least half a month to a month. There were still twenty days left before the grand competition of the three sects' territories began. In other words, if they didn't hurry, they might miss the grand competition of the three sects' territories.
The so-called competition was held in the territories of Lianshan Sect, Returning One Sect, and Lingyun Invincible Sect. It was a competition that could be held in all the cities within tens of thousands of miles. At that time, not only the warriors of the cities, but also the inner and outer circle disciples of the three major sects would also participate in the competition!
This martial arts competition was the most magnificent martial arts competition that happened once every five years, and it was also the most important and widely participated event in the territory of the three sects, tens of thousands of miles. Every time the martial arts competition ended, the results of the martial arts competition would not only spread to the territory of the three sects, but also the details of the martial arts competition, and people would talk about it enthusiastically.
Therefore, most of the martial artists who attempted to participate in the martial arts competition in the territories of the three sects had the ambition to amaze the world with a single feat. As long as their performance was slightly outstanding and extraordinary, they would attract a lot of attention. It would not be difficult for them to make a name for themselves and obtain large amounts of cultivation resources.
Most of the Soul Separation Stage warriors were qualified to participate in the three major sects' territorial competition within a hundred years of age. The number of Martial Cultivator of Body Leaving Stage was secondary, and the number of Martial Cultivator of Fusion Stage was almost negligible. As for the Martial Cultivator of God Formation Stage under a hundred years of age, it would only be available among the disciples of the three great sects.
Even if it was a Soul Separation Stage, it wasn't as if they didn't have the chance to become famous. Therefore, the warriors of Silver City were also rushing towards Xingwu City to participate in this grand event, and at the same time, try to become a lucky person who could make a name for himself in one go.
