Sword Conquers Heaven

As they were in the forest and the carriage was inconvenient, Second Princess and Lei Na had a Spiritual Beast ride on their back. It was a snow-white divine pony called Xue Wu Hen. It was a third grade Demon Beast and was extremely extraordinary.    

    

And most of the other members of the envoy also had Spiritual Beast s as their speed wasn't slow either.    

    

Qin Feng commanded the crowd to keep their voices down as they moved forward quietly. They were less than three hundred meters away from where the Hailing Country army was stationed, so if they were to be discovered, they could send their troops to chase after them at any time.    

    

It would be difficult for more than four hundred people to not make a sound. If it was a well-trained army, they could still do it with their rich experience in Mercenary Group. However, Qin Feng's group was not one of them.    

    

After walking not too far, a person in the group of messengers lost control of the Spiritual Beast that was sitting down, causing it to let out a roar. Although it was not a loud roar, it was obvious in the quiet environment, and the roar quickly spread out.    

    

Qin Feng's expression changed as he quickly went after Liu Dekuai and a few other experts. His body swayed as he floated out and disappeared into the forest behind him. The sound of fighting could be heard. Not long after, they returned with blood all over their bodies.    

    

"Hurry up!" Qin Feng shouted in a low voice.    

    

Everyone quickened their pace, and the person from before had an apologetic look on his face. If the enemy made a mistake and chased after him, then he would be condemned for the rest of his life.    

    

At this moment, everyone became even more vigilant. Those riding Spiritual Beast s were being controlled carefully, afraid that they would suddenly roar, while the others were also being cautious to avoid causing too much of a commotion.    

    

At this moment, a figure quickly ran over from the front. It was the scout that Qin Feng had sent to scout the road ahead.    

    

"Reporting to General Qin, if we discover enemy Outpost from the front, I'm afraid we'll have to take a detour."    

    

"Outpost? Looks like this time will be very troublesome. " Qin Feng waved his hand and everyone changed their direction and headed towards the left.    

    

After another day of travelling, they were tired, so Qin Feng had no choice but to make everyone rest on the spot. Fortunately, this place was relatively hidden, and according to the scouts' reports, there were no enemies from Hailing Country.    

    

Everyone seized the opportunity to rest and eat to replenish their strength. However, at this moment, they could only eat some rations. It was impossible to make a fire here to cook, not even if they wanted to roast something. Once the smoke emerged and the enemy discovered them, it would be dangerous.    

    

The three hundred mercenaries were nothing, eating rations was a common occurrence, but envoys were hard to serve. Most of them were pampered, used to eating mountain and sea food, and now they suddenly said that they wanted to eat dry and hard to swallow rations, making them seem somewhat angry.    

    

The one Qin Feng was most worried about was Second Princess. She had a golden body, so she usually ate like a shark's fin and bear's paw. Calling her to eat dry rations was the same as asking people to eat dog food.    

    

Surprisingly, Princess Lei Na didn't object and even approved. She suppressed the anger of the envoys and led them to eat the rations.    

    

Qin Feng was stunned by Lei Na's reaction. It was unbelievable that a delicate princess could take the lead and start eating unpalatable rations. The First Prince was extremely arrogant and domineering. If he was here this time, even if he died, he would not go eat rations.    

    

Qin Feng couldn't help but have a different opinion of Princess Lei Na. This wise princess was indeed not simple.    

    

After eating the rations, everyone began to have a good rest. However, Qin Feng didn't dare to be careless. He arranged people to patrol nearby and even sent out a lot of powerful spies to scout the surroundings.    

    

"General Qin, can you accompany me for a walk?" When Qin Feng was done with his arrangements, Lei Na walked over leisurely and asked.    

    

Qin Feng naturally had no objections. He walked slowly with Lei Na towards the forest on the left.    

    

Lei Naping backed away from the others, leaving only the two of them behind. They walked slowly, not saying a word.    

    

After walking for a long distance, Qin Feng finally couldn't hold it in and said, "Second Princess, let's stop here. Any further and we'll be out of safe range."    

    

"With General Qin accompanying me, this princess is at ease. Let's go a bit more." Lei Na didn't look at Qin Feng as she said this. Then, she walked forward without waiting for Qin Feng's reply.    

    

Qin Feng frowned, but he was helpless and had to follow along. Second Princess, who had a rational and reasonable attitude, didn't expect to be this rude and unreasonable.    

    

Qin Feng spread out all the Mind Power, just in case there were enemies hiding nearby. When Lei Na went to Xieluya this time, she bore a heavy responsibility, and there was no mistake. Furthermore, just Second Princess's identity alone made Qin Feng cautious.    

    

Lei Na finally stopped after they had traveled another hundred feet. She turned her head to look towards the south and seemed to be able to see the distant capital through the dense forest.    

    

"This may be the last time I will walk on the grounds of Lei Kesi." Lei Na suddenly opened her mouth and said some inexplicable words.    

    

She suddenly turned around, stared at Qin Feng and said, "Qin Feng, I really envy you. If only I could be as free as you. How great would it be?"    

    

Lei Na said something that Qin Feng didn't understand, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say. But she didn't want Qin Feng to reply, so she continued, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back this time … From then on, I will lose my freedom... Qin Feng, I'm really envious of you. Even though there are many limitations, you have at least once enjoyed your freedom.    

    

I really want to run away, but I know that I cannot do it. I am a princess of the Lei Kesi, and I need to pay the price for my Lei Kesi, even if it is something that I am extremely unwilling to do. "    

    

"Princess …"    

    

Qin Feng wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he was stopped immediately, "The imperial family's women are just like that. Unless they have amazing talent for cultivation, no matter how smart I am, I might end up becoming a tool for profit …"    

    

After saying this, she let out a long sigh. This sigh contained a deep sadness.    

    

She looked towards the direction of Xieluya and her eyes flickered, as if she had seen through the future and saw through everything. Then, she looked in the direction of Lei Kesi once again, her gaze gradually became determined.    

    

"Lieutenant Qin, let's go back." Lei Na spoke indifferently with a dejected look on her face.    

    

Qin Feng didn't know what was going on, but he seemed to have sensed something and could only silently follow behind him.    

    

Along the way, the atmosphere became somewhat strange. The two of them once again quieted down, walking back to their resting place. Lei Na also went to rest.    

    

Until nightfall, everyone started their journey once again. Using the darkness as a cover, they headed towards the Xieluya.
