Cultivating Through The Game

"Alright, let the brothers rest a bit, drink some water, and we'll hit the road once the sandstorm passes, so the road is a bit clearer." The leader said happily.

"What about... that guest who left?" A member of the caravan thought of Xue Ming, who left before the sandstorm, and asked.

"Don't worry about him. He left on his own, none of our business. Initially, we only agreed to take him for a stretch, not to a specific destination." The leader replied.

"Okay, I'll let the brothers know."

Tap, tap, tap~ A figure appeared in Huang Litian's view just as he was preparing to turn and leave after paying silent respects to Lu Yu; he saw Lu Yu's silhouette.

He blinked hard, in disbelief as he watched Lu Yu walk towards the tavern, shocked in his heart: He's actually unharmed?

The caravan member had just turned around and saw Lu Yu, paused, hesitated to say something, and a hand rested on his shoulder— the leader behind him said, "Go on, let the brothers rest for a bit."

The person nodded silently upon hearing this, crossed paths with Lu Yu without giving him a glance.

The caravan leader did not intend to meddle in the feud between Lu Yu and Xue Ming, as Lu Yu's attire indicated he was not from the western desert border. This kind of outfit, the leader had only seen on disciples from major city powers.

This disciple from a major inland power had come all the way to the western desert to pursue that person, and the grudge between them must be deep. Whether Lu Yu was on the side of justice or evil, he did not want to get involved.

Lu Yu walked towards the caravan leader, spoke a few words, learned that Xue Ming was merely hitching a ride with their caravan to another place. Their relationship was merely contractual, without deeper ties.

Lu Yu couldn't ask where Xue Ming wanted to go. The caravan leader said Xue Ming didn't mention his destination, only inquired about the cities they would pass, and then joined their caravan.

Even the camel carriage was rented by Xue Ming himself; once reaching another city, it could be returned to the organization specializing in camel rentals.

As for the damaged camel carriage, it wasn't the caravan's issue; after all, it was rented by Xue Ming, and the caravan leader had no intention to hold Lu Yu accountable for it.

Although people from the western desert have fiery tempers, like a powder keg ready to explode at the slightest provocation, most of the time, they are quite reasonable, especially in industries like caravan leadership, which requires frequent interaction with people, even more so the ability to control one's temper.

Lu Yu watched the tavern resume operations, eyed the sandstorm gradually disappearing on the horizon, and felt his operation this time was somewhat a failure.

If he had trusted the intelligence from Jianghu Tong and launched an attack on the camel carriage immediately, Xue Ming wouldn't have escaped.

But Lu Yu didn't want to accidentally harm others, so he spoke first to inquire who was in the camel carriage, to confirm if it was Xue Ming.

This gave Xue Ming the chance to flee, especially with the sandstorm, enabling him to escape death narrowly.

Though being forced offline in a sandstorm carried uncertainties, it was still better than facing inevitable death from Lu Yu's pursuit.

Lu Yu turned and left the tavern, heading to the nearest western desert border city, where through the city's teleportation array, he could return to Beifeng City.

Using the Token to teleport into the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm also required using the teleportation array.

Typically, near cities, a Token can use the teleportation array of the Divine Weapon Pavilion branch to transmit into the Pavilion's Secret Realm.

The branch's teleportation array is like a passage to the Pavilion's Secret Realm, and the Token's transmission principle is activating the Token to form a short-distance teleportation array, sending the target into the nearest passage.

Therefore, a Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple can only teleport into the Secret Realm near a city with a Pavilion branch.

The nearest Pavilion branch is several hundred miles away, so the Token cannot be used; Lu Yu must first approach the city to teleport back to the Secret Realm.

Then, teleport back to Beifeng City.

Shortly after Lu Yu left, a "ferocious" man appeared in the tavern, holding an image of Lu Yu, inquiring about Lu Yu's whereabouts from the tavern folks.

The owner felt he was trouble and thus informed the "ferocious" man of Lu Yu's direction.

As the owner and the ferocious man conversed, Huang Litian quietly slipped away from the tavern.
