In the desolate desert, only a faint gleam was visible at the horizon.

The sound of the wind swirled in the sky, finally carrying a strand of sand, and flew into the distance.

A lizard emerged from the yellow sand, shook off the sand on its body, and quickly crawled towards a dune where it had foraged the previous day. Suddenly, it stopped, and in its bean-sized eyes, a few black dots appeared.

As the view drew closer, it turned out to be a convoy. Around the convoy, dozens of bare-chested Great Hans guarded it closely, their vigilant gazes sweeping around the surroundings. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The lizard quickly crawled away to the side as the convoy passed by, but just when it thought it was safe, a cold gleam flashed, piercing it and lifting it high.

Hu Lv Guang looked at the lizard on the tip of his sword and grinned, "Red Blood Lizard, that’s a rare delicacy."

Saying this, he took the Red Blood Lizard off the tip of the sword and started eating it raw. The people from the Escort Agency were not surprised, but the guards of the caravan felt a bit creeped out watching Hu Lv Guang with a mouth full of blood.

At the back of the convoy, Si Song whispered, "This sedative is quite good, it works on Martial Artists too, colorless and tasteless, and it takes some time to kick in, ordinary people can’t detect it at all."

Si Song savored the drug that Hu Lv Guang had just put in the food.

As the Great Elder of the Poison King Valley, this act of Hu Lv Guang was undoubtedly showing off in front of an expert. Even if Si Song ate it, the sedative in the food would have no effect on him.

Having cultivated poison techniques for decades, although he didn’t dare claim to be immune to all poisons, his body’s resistance to poisons was top-notch, and ordinary poisons had no effect on him at all.

"It seems this Escort Agency, under the guise of escorting, is actually doing the deed of murdering and robbing the employers." Liang Mu murmured.

As an old hand, how could he not see that Hu Lv Guang had drugged the food, obviously intending to swallow the caravan whole.

"That Han Yang seems to be an old-timer too, this Hu Lv Escort Agency should find it not so easy to succeed..."

"Someone’s coming."

Si Song had just finished speaking when Nalan Yiren’s low voice echoed in his ears.

Chen Mo furrowed his brows, he too had sensed it.

Just as the convoy reached the top of the hill, "Whizz, whizz..." several sounds, and arrows shot violently from both sides, straight towards the guards of the caravan riding on camels.

"Clang, clang..." a few crisp sounds, the arrows shot onto the guards and unexpectedly bounced off to the ground.

"Iron Armor." Hu Lv Guang saw this scene, his brow tightened, whispering to himself.

"Who?"

The convoy immediately stopped and went on alert. The caravan’s guards gripped their weapons tightly, scanning the surroundings, ready for battle.

"Which scoundrels?" Han Yang also got off the carriage.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the small dunes on both sides of the convoy suddenly exploded, countless yellow sands splattered, and several yellow figures wielding weapons charged at Han Yang’s group.

"Ambush, protect the young lady." Han Yang’s face changed slightly, turned around, pulled out a sharp sword from under the carriage, and in the blink of an eye, killed one of the yellow figures charging at them.

The caravan’s guards wielded their weapons, quickly converging towards a carriage.

"Yoo-yoo..."

A sharp whistle sounded from not far away, coming from behind the dune ahead. Moments later, a cavalry troop appeared at the top of the dune, numbering twenty to thirty people, whistling, wielding weapons, clad in yellow uniforms, swiftly raiding towards the convoy, their faces showing expressions of excited screams.

"Steward Han, be careful, it’s sand bandits." Hu Lv Guang, holding a great saber, approached Han Yang.

If Han Yang had observed carefully, Hu Lv Guang’s underlings from the Escort Agency also approached the caravan’s guards and Chen Mo’s group of four, with an expression of protecting everyone.

"Be careful, everyone..."

Han Yang was just about to remind his men to be cautious when he saw Hu Lv Guang approaching him suddenly make a move, chopping at him with a saber. The protective Innate Spiritual Qi erupted, but shattered in an instant, leaving a bloody scar on Han Yang’s left shoulder.

Han Yang winced in pain, his longsword swiftly stabbing towards Hu Lv Guang as he simultaneously retreated.

Meanwhile, Hu Lv Guang’s men were also attacking the caravan’s guards.

Even though the caravan’s guards were protected by Iron Armor, they couldn’t fend off the attacks of multiple foes, nor were they prepared for the Escort Agency’s attack. They suffered heavy casualties, with only three guards left alive, all Eighth-Grade Martial Artists.

Just as they realized and wanted to fight back, their heads suddenly became dizzy, their bodies weak, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground because they couldn’t hold them steadily.

The Escort Agency’s men seeing this, quickly surrounded them and hacked them to death with their swords, then proceeded to attack the carriages.

"Young Lady..." Han Yang’s face changed drastically upon seeing this, he hurriedly dashed towards the carriages, only to be entangled by Hu Lv Guang.

"Old fellow, you ate my stuff and still nothing happened?"

Hu Lv Guang looked at the injured Han Yang, who was difficult to approach, somewhat surprised.

"Hu Lv the Leader of the Escort, what are you trying to do? We have no enmity, why are you doing this?" Han Yang said in a deep voice, his eyes searching for Hu Lv Guang’s weakness.

The reason he was unharmed was that he never swallowed the food given by Hu Lv Guang.

It wasn’t that he had known that Hu Lv Guang harbored ill intentions from the start.

But when traveling outside, one must be cautious in everything. Things given by others, if they could be avoided, should not be eaten.

"Being an Escort Master doesn’t earn as fast as robbery does." Hu Lv Guang licked his dry lips with his tongue, his eyes filled with a cold chill.

At this moment, that troop of sand bandits also arrived, surrounding the convoy tightly.

"Big brother, this target is a bit tricky, leave it to you to handle." Hu Lv Guang said to the leader of the sand bandits, and then quickly distanced himself from Han Yang.
