Saying that, Shi Feiyang stood tall like a pine tree, and turned around to walk briskly towards where Lan Xiaodie was.

From afar, Lan Xiaodie saw Shi Feiyang steadily approaching.

His steady steps seemed to carry an overwhelming pressure, each step as if treading on Lan Xiaodie's heart.

Lan Xiaodie was immediately so frightened that her face turned pale, her once lovely and vibrant face now as bloodless as a piece of white paper.

Her eyes widened like copper bells, filled with terror and despair.

She had no time to think more and hastily shouted, "Retreat!"

At the same time, with a wave of her jade hand, a cluster of poisonous mist needles shot towards Shi Feiyang like scattered flowers in the sky. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

These poisonous mist needles glinted with an eerie light under the sunlight, carrying a pungent smell that made one want to retch.

In the blink of an eye, the toxic mist spread out, forming a dense smoke that enveloped her and the twelve sword maids.

Under the cover of this toxic fog, Lan Xiaodie and the twelve sword maids flickered and used Lightweight Technique, fleeing like a flock of startled birds, disappearing from Shi Feiyang's sight in the blink of an eye.

After repelling the Mongolian cavalry and enduring this thrilling battle, Shi Feiyang and his group once again embarked on their long new journey.

The desert's wind and sand continued to rage, the road ahead was boundless, holding unknown challenges and dangers, but Shi Feiyang's gaze only grew firmer. The vast prairie, like an endless green ocean, spread out under their feet, boundless and limitless.

In the distance, the sky, as blue as a gemstone and clear, perfectly merged with the verdant grasslands at the horizon, sketching a magnificent and vast yet mysteriously hidden picture, containing countless unknown variables and challenges.

Shi Feiyang sat steadily on horseback, his posture tall and straight like a pine tree, and also like a majestic mountain that even the sharp cutting wind of the prairie couldn't sway the slightest bit.

His gaze was profound and determined, as if he could penetrate the vast grassland and discern the secrets hidden in that unreachable place.

At this moment, he slowly turned his head, his expression steady and solemn as he looked at Liao Pei and Gong Simeng, his voice clear yet commanding, "Elder Liao, Madam, immediately lead our Heroic Sakura Association disciples to find a flat, open, and lush place for camping. This matter concerns the safety and rest of many brothers and sisters, so arrange everything carefully without the slightest negligence. We, as people of Jianghu, bear the responsibility of doing good deeds and must demonstrate our Heroic Sakura Association's demeanor and rules here as well."

Liao Pei, upon hearing this, immediately appeared solemn, cupping his fists with both hands, he said in a loud voice, "Rest assured, Grand Squad Leader, we shall give it our all, laying down our lives and shedding our blood, not disappointing the mission you entrusted to us! Our Heroic Sakura Association's brothers have always worked together as one, surely the camp will be well-organized."

Gong Simeng, lightly parting her red lips, with a gentle yet concerned voice, said, "Husband, dangers lurk around every corner along the journey, be extra cautious, prudence is necessary in all things. The brothers and I will await your safe return."

Shi Feiyang nodded slightly, a trace of nearly imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes, then he turned around, leading Xie Wen, Shi Xiong, and Shan Zhi, urging their horses towards the Lindan Tribe. The sound of hooves was like urgent drumbeats, echoing on the vast prairie.

As they traveled a while, Xie Wen suddenly flew off his horse, performing the miraculous "Feixu Qingyan Technique."

In an instant, his figure became light and ethereal, like a dandelion gently lifted by the breeze, drifting leisurely through the air, or like a wisp of smoke, drifting away as the wind carried it, leaving one unsure whether it was real or not.

He moved quickly across the prairie sky, his figure agile, rushing toward the Lindan Tribe direction, his speed as fast as shooting stars chasing the moon.

Shortly after, Xie Wen, like a black lightning bolt, instantly returned, reporting to Shi Feiyang, "Grand Squad Leader, the message has been successfully delivered to the tribe, they are aware of our impending visit and are eagerly awaiting us."

Shi Feiyang nodded slightly, his expression calm, then instructed Shan Zhi, "Brother Shan, hitch up that cart and load some monetary and food supplies. This time, as our visit to the Lindan Tribe symbolizes our alliance sincerity, let these serve as a meeting gift, a little sweetener for them. Our travel in Jianghu, forging good relations, is also to work together in the future, maintaining Jianghu's peace."

Shan Zhi answered promptly and executed the order swiftly.

The four of them continued forward, driving the cart.

Before reaching the tribe, a rolling dust cloud appeared ahead, like black waves rising at the horizon.

A group of prairie men, donned in colorful clothes embroidered with intricate patterns, rode on tall horses, galloping swiftly to meet them.

They were imposing, like a rushing torrent, the sound of hooves trembled the ground slightly.

The one at the forefront beamed with a fiery smile and shouted loudly from afar, "Is the distinguished guest the Grand Squad Leader of the famous Heroic Sakura Association, Hero Shi Feiyang? We have been waiting for a long time, looking forward to this moment eagerly!"

Upon seeing this, Shi Feiyang slightly cupped his hands, with a humble and gentle expression, saying, "That is indeed me, coming uninvited, disturbing your tribe. I am here to strengthen friendships with your tribe and to seek mutual peace in Jianghu."

That person immediately waved his hand, smiling as he replied, "Hero Shi, what words are those! Your heroic name has long resonated like thunder, known far and wide, today's step into our tribe is truly our great honor, please, please! Our tribe has admired you for a long time."
