Chapter 259 Chu Bai''s n


    The three NPCs had also passed by where they had just been.


    1


    They saw the abandoned carriage.


    "He''s nearby! Find him!"


    "Yes!"


    The three of them scattered!


    The old man saw a city in front of him and walked in.


    ording to his experience, the person should be in the city.


    There were many people in the city, so they could hide.


    Moreover, it was not easy to make a move in the city.


    Chu Bai and Lan Xingxing walked around in the city.


    "Why are they chasing after you?"


    Chu Bai asked.


    "Because I have something that they want very much. Usually, I won''t leave the family, but this time, the situation is special. They seized the opportunity, but I didn''t expect them to be so crazy. My family has already sent out quite a number of experts, but they actually sent out even more."


    Lan Xingxing said.


    "What is it?"


    Chu Bai asked curiously.


    "Uhh…"


    Lan Xingxing hesitated for a moment before saying, "There''s a sealed power in my body. They want to obtain this power of mine."


    Chu Bai nodded slightly.


    Then, he looked ahead.


    "I reckon that the surroundings will be filled with their people in a while. Moreover, I feel that they seem to be able to roughly lock onto your location."


    Lan Xingxing nodded.


    After all, they had searched for Lan Xingxing too carefully in that in.


    It was as if they were certain that there was a Lan Xingxing in that area.


    Perhaps it was due to some special power of the continent''s NPCs.


    "Then what should we do?"


    Lan Xingxing asked.


    "I don''t know. Let''s see what happens. It''s still half a day''s journey from here to Xuantian City. Moreover, they already know that you''re going back. They''ll definitely set upyers of ambushes on all the roads that you must pass on your way back."


    Lan Xingxing nodded in agreement.


    "Therefore, we can only take an unusual path."


    Chu Bai then opened the map and took a look.


    Although they could roughly lock onto the location of Lan Xingxing, the estimated range was quiterge.


    Otherwise, there would definitely not be three people who came to find them.


    Therefore, they could take another path.


    There were a total of three roads leading to Xuantian City!


    These were the three main roads on the surface.


    In addition, there were more than a dozen roads that either passed through the forest or through the canyon. These roads were all passable.


    "No! It''s not easy to walk."


    Chu Bai frowned.


    "Then what should we do?"


    Lan Xingxing asked worriedly.


    If they did not leave, they would eventually find them.


    If they wanted to leave, the other party had so many people. They could lock down many ces and wait for them.


    She thought about it, but there seemed to be no other way.


    "There''s another way. Wait for me at the inn first."


    Chu Bai said.


    "Yes, yes."


    Then, Chu Bai arrived at the city gate.


    He wanted to see if he could find an escort mission to Xuantian City.


    If he could, and if he could follow the troops in the city, the other party would not dare to stop the empire''s troops even if they saw them.


    As expected, he really saw one.


    [Mystic Fire City Escort Mission. Difficulty: SSS. Mission Requirement: 100,000 reputation points. Xuanhuo City has a huge batch of military pay that needs to be transported to Xuantian City for exchange. Please escort the team that''s transporting the military pay to Xuantian City safely.]


    This mission just so happened to be going to Xuantian City.


    Originally, Chu Bai had thought that it would be fine if he could find a mission to go to a city near Xuantian City. Anyway, it would be fine as long as he passed through this area.


    He directly epted the mission.


    There was no need to think about this mission. It was obvious that there would be an army from the empire escorting them.


    After receiving it, an old man at the side cupped his fists at Chu Bai.


    "Young hero, I''m the steward of the city lord''s mansion. You have epted the mission of escorting the military pay. Please follow me."


    "Alright."


    Chu Bai followed him to the city lord''s mansion.


    "City Lord, someone has epted the mission to escort the military pay."


    The steward looked at the city lord and said.


    The city lord revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.


    He looked at Chu Bai, then walked over with a smile. "Hahaha, young hero, I''m Zhao Huo, the City Lord of Xuanhuo City. Nice to meet you!"


    "Greetings, City Lord."


    Chu Bai cupped his fists.


    "Hahaha! You''re young and promising."


    Zhao Huo smiled as he looked at Chu Bai.


    "City Lord, you praise me too much. What instructions do you have?"


    Chu Bai asked.


    "Come with me."


    Zhao Huo brought Chu Bai to the warehouse.


    The reason why he did not ask Chu Bai anything was that this mission required sufficient reputation points. A person who could have such reputation points was definitely extraordinary.


    "These two boxes are military pay. Our Xuanhuo City is going to give them to Xuantian City. The value of the money inside is very high, but the journey is not short. Moreover, there is an organization on the continent that specializes in robbing the empire''s military pay for a living. It''s very powerful, so we need powerful experts to escort the military pay with the Gold Guards."


    Obviously, these two chests were definitely not as simple as gold coins.


    "There are still people who dare to rob the empire''s military pay for a living?"


    Zhao Huo nodded. "Yes, they''re a group of ouws. They''re wanted criminals of the empire. Because they rob the empire''s military pay and resources, their gains are high every time they seed. It''s several times better than robbing others. Therefore, they''re constantly watching us."


    Zhao Huo continued, "Each of their identities is hidden. They might even be themoners we see in Xuanhuo City. Once we leave the city, their people might be watching us."


    Then, he saw the destiny epaulet on Chu Bai''s chest and was stunned!


    "The destiny epaulet?"


    Chu Bai nodded.


    "So, you''re the chosen one! Nice to meet you!"


    Zhao Huo bowed again.


    The chosen one was not a mere mortal.


    With his escort, there would definitely be no problem.


    "Then I''ll set off now."


    Chu Bai said.


    "Mm, alright! Please wait for a moment. I''ll call a group of Gold Guards over."


    "Oh right, is there a carriage?" Chu Bai asked.


    "Yes, we need them to transport the military pay."


    "I meant a passenger carriage. I have a younger sister who''s weak and sickly. I need to bring her along. If there''s no carriage, it might not be convenient for her to take the journey."


    The city lord nodded. "I''ll prepare a horse carriage for you!"


    "Thank you, City Lord!"


    "It''s a small matter."


    Soon, the transport team was assembled.


    Besides Chu Bai and Lan Xingxing, there were a total of 25 Gold Guards apanying them.


    Chu Bai called Lan Xingxing to the city lord''s mansion and then let her enter the carriage.


    "After the mission ispleted, you can receive your reward from the city lord of Xuantian City. I''ve already spoken to the city lord of Xuantian City about this," the city lord said to Chu Bai.


    The reward for this mission was probably something like money.


    "Alright!"


    Then, Chu Bai led his team out of Xuanhuo City.
