The four seasons were like spring and the climate was extremely comfortable, but once they left the Lizhou realm which faced south, it would be a completely different scenery.

On a day like this one with Lizhou, it was famously hot.

On the vast plains, there were very few places where people could be seen. Some were village stores, some were trees, some were fine fields, since they had entered the boundaries of the Lizhou, Lu Li had not seen any of them again.

"Good …" Hot... "Ahhh!"

Lu Li lied on top of a horse carriage with his limbs spread out. The horse carriage was probably used for pulling goods, and there wasn't even a roof on the back half of the carriage. The scorching sun was high in the sky, and caused one's skin to ache from the sun's scorching heat.

Just like a salted fish.

The wagon driver in front seemed to have heard Lu Li's sigh and turned his head to grin, saying with a local accent: "Young man, is this your first time at Lizhou? Let me tell you two, when we get to the town, everyone can go buy some cool clothes to put on.

"I will." Lu Li rolled his eyes and nodded.

It had been almost half a month since they had left the sect. With Hanzhou Prefecture acting up from the inside, there was no way the Cold State could stay any longer in this place, so Lu Li simply tossed and turned all the way, leaving the boundaries of the Cold State and entering the Lizhou. However, he didn't expect that the moment he arrived at the Lizhou, the fiery and scorching weather would bring about a show of might.

After following the carriage driver's idle chatter for a while, Lu Li decided to put on his bamboo hat and went to sleep. It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that the carriage finally stopped at a small town.

In front of the small town, there was a landmark that looked to be quite old. On the tablet with quite a few mosses growing on it, the words' Dragon Gate Town 'could be vaguely seen.

Not far from the landmarks, there was a row of horse barricades in front of the town gate. In addition to the Javelins who were walking back and forth and the guards on the tower who had bows and arrows drawn on them every now and then, it looked like they were preparing to fight.

Lu Li looked around and could not help but frown: "Big Brother Li Dian, what is the situation?"

"It's the wheat season recently, so it's hard to tell when the horse gang in the mountains will come." Li Dian smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "But don't worry. Even if they did attack, the town is still safe. There are very few Spirit Master with a cultivation level above third in the Ma Clan."

As he spoke, Li Dian slowly pulled the carriage into the town. The town was not small and was almost the size of a small city. It was surrounded by tall walls and a short mountain could be seen not too far away.

"It's almost dark. The inn in the town is probably full too. Let's go eat lunch at my place. We'll stay for the night before leaving." Li Dian patted Lu Li's shoulders and said after tying up the carriage.

"Then I'll be troubling you." Lu Li did not flirt, and agreed on the spot.

As he led Lu Li back to his residence, they entered the house with a faint smell of firewood. Although this family couldn't be considered rich, it wasn't hard to see how they lived a good life.

"My humble abode is not big. Please don't tease me, just take a seat." Upon entering, Li Dian called Lu Li to sit, and he himself pushed open the kitchen door curtain to greet them.

"You're back. Get ready to eat. Ah, do you have a guest? "Hello, hello."

A woman's voice came from the kitchen. The hostess came out with a pot. When she saw that there was a guest, she quickly wiped her hands with her apron and took out a pair of chopsticks.

"Sorry for disturbing you." Lu Li nodded slightly.

The woman could not be considered a beauty. She was about thirty years old, and she looked simple and unadorned. However, there was a hint of gentleness between his brows, making him look exceptionally virtuous.

"At this age, what would it be like for Yuelu to wear an apron?"

Lu Li tilted his head, an image flashed past his mind, and he couldn't help but smile cheerfully.

"Big Brother Li Dian, take this." Lu Li laughed, then took out a few gold coins from his pocket and placed it on the table, "I have troubled you, take this money, it's not much, just consider it as the cost of staying for the night."

"Hey, bro, what are you talking about? Take it back. You're a customer, so why are you asking for money?" Li Dian Lang laughed, and threw the gold coin into Lu Li's hand.

"Take it, or else I'm leaving."

Lu Li curled his lips and stuffed the few gold coins into Li Dian's hands. He had a very good impression of this family.

This couple was really an ordinary couple. The husband only had Spiritual Movement Stage, and the wife was an ordinary person. However, her character was pure and pure.

Moments later, the hostess called Lin Xia arranged the dishes and the three of them sat down.

"Come, brother, have a toast. We're from the countryside, so we can't speak any official words. It's all in the wine."

Li Dian raised a glass of wheat wine high up and heroically gulped it down, and straightforwardly picked up a soft and fragrant stew and placed it into Lu Li's bowl.

"Simple and honest big brother, not bad." Lu Li muttered to himself, for such a simple and straightforward person, to be from such a prestigious clan, it was rare.

After the meal, Lin Xia went back to the kitchen to clean up, while Li Dian sneakily took out a cigarette, carefully lit it, and carefully offered one to Lu Li.

"I have my own."

Lu Li laughed and waved his hand, taking out his pipe to light it up. Judging from Li Dian's expression, it was likely that he was being strictly controlled by his wife.

"Li Dian!" You smoke again! "

Just as the smell of smoke rose, Lin Xia's soft rebuke sounded. Li Dian immediately put out the cigarette in his hand and begged Lu Li to be quiet, he was so happy that he trembled.

Night had fallen, and Lu Li stayed in the empty room that the husband and wife had cleaned. After asking around, Lu Li found out that the room was originally meant for the couple's daughter, but the young lady had gone to a distant place to study and train, and had not come back for a long time.

The night gradually calmed, and the two moons hung high in the sky.

He did not know how much time had passed, but Lu Li could faintly hear some noise. When he opened the door and went out, he saw Li Dian and his wife, who were carefully leaning against the window, looking outside.

"Big Brother Li Dian, what happened?"

"Ah, brother, your luck is a bit bad. The Ma Gang's men have arrived, but they were blocked outside by the guards. It's fine."

Li Dian explained with a clap of his hand. It was obvious that this was not the first time.

Suddenly …

"Oh no! The Ma Gang barged in! "Everyone go back and hide, don't come out and walk. Guard, brothers, follow me …" "Ahhh!"

The urgent shouts outside the house suddenly turned into ear-piercing screams.

"Not good, something happened!" Li Dian immediately cried out in alarm when he saw the guards fall outside. "You two, quickly hide in the cellar. I'll go take a look and see what's going on …"

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, a fireball filled with the intense fluctuations of spiritual energy was shot towards the house. Li Dian subconsciously stood in front of the two of them to protect them.

The moment he saw that fireball, Li Dian was shocked. That fireball, at least, was shot by a Spirit Master of Spirit-plasma Realm.

However, after the boom sounded out, Li Dian was completely unharmed. Not only him, but the entire wooden house was completely unharmed by the fireball!

"This... Why am I fine? "

Li Dian looked at his body in disbelief. After searching for a while, he finally came to the conclusion that he was alright. And at this moment, outside the wooden door that was blasted open by the blast, a Soul Talisman finally ran out of energy and turned into ashes.

"Big Brother Li Dian, don't have a heroic expression. This way, you won't feel any sense of accomplishment."

Lu Li sucked on his pipe, then, under Li Dian and his wife's stunned gaze, a silver white sword suddenly appeared in Lu Li's hand. The sound of the sword exploding resounded, and shot straight to the clouds!

"Stay in the room. Don't come out." Lu Li squinted his eyes and laughed. He swung his arm, and four Soul Talisman floated out from his sleeves and landed around the house, forming a brilliant barrier. His figure suddenly disappeared in a ghost-like manner!

"Brothers, go up! to protect the safety of the townspeople! "

Within the small town, the guards were all holding their weapons as they fought against the mounted gangsters that were charging in from the direction of the gate. The scene was extremely chaotic as flames exploded and swords rang in all directions.

"Moo!"

At the entrance of the town, a long and low cry suddenly rang out. Many gazes turned over, only to see that at the entrance of the town, there was an enormous rhinoceros Demonic Beast that was over three meters tall that was letting out a loud cry!
