Chen Yang and his companions arrived at Zhen Nan Pass, a bustling city with many hidden dangers. While resting by the roadside, Chen Yang witnessed a luxurious carriage recklessly speeding through the crowded street, nearly hitting a child. Chen Yang saved the child and confronted the carriage's occupants, a petty official and a haughty princely heir. Their arrogant defiance escalated the confrontation, but it was interrupted by the arrival of General Hua and his troop.

"Princely Heir, why have you come? Are you here to see the Prince?"

General Hua asked.

"Indeed." The man, Xiaoxiao, replied.

"Then please follow me to the Prince’s residence." General Hua said directly.

"Alright."

The man nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, make way." After seeing the man, General Hua no longer cared about what was happening on site. He directly rode his horse at the front, leading the way towards the Prince’s residence at Zhen Nan Pass.

Armored troops opened the road, and the man in splendid attire returned to the carriage.

Just as he entered the carriage, he glared at Chen Yang, with a hint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

Perhaps because he had urgent matters to attend to, he didn’t take action against Chen Yang.

Chen Yang, holding the little girl, retreated to the side, his sharp eyes watching the carriage and speculating about the man’s identity.

Being referred to as Princely Heir, it’s unclear which Prince of the Dajing Dynasty he belongs to.

Such arrogance and audacity.

The carriage gradually moved away, and the bustling street quickly returned to normal.

"Wuwuwu, my daughter."

At this moment, the little girl’s mother rushed out of the crowd, taking the girl while incessantly expressing her gratitude to Chen Yang.

If it hadn’t been for Chen Yang earlier, her daughter wouldn’t be alive.

"It’s alright, just be more careful in the future."

Chen Yang waved his hand, returning the little girl to her mother, and then retook his seat.

At this point, except for Tu Qi, everyone around was petrified.

Their gazes towards Chen Yang were filled with admiration.

Chen Yang didn’t care, he picked up the tea and drank silently.

As the caravan boss came to his senses, he no longer wanted the tea and quickly urged everyone to move.

Naturally, Chen Yang followed suit and left.

He didn’t think much of why the boss was in such a hurry to leave.

It wasn’t until after leaving Zhen Nan Pass that he understood; the boss feared retribution from the man earlier, hence the rush.

"Little brother, you are truly bold. Do you know who that person was? You dared to offend him like that." A man from the front vehicle spoke to Chen Yang a few kilometers after leaving Zhen Nan Pass, still feeling anxious.

"I’m not sure, but I couldn’t just watch someone die, it’s a matter of life." Chen Yang replied indifferently.

"You’re impressive." The man couldn’t help but give Chen Yang a thumbs-up, admiring his courage, then said, "I think that person might be the Heir of Python King, a very significant figure in Dajing Dynasty. You’re in trouble for offending him."

"It’s fortunate the Heir of Python King had urgent matters; otherwise, you’re lucky, little brother." The entire caravan shivered when recalling the incident.

The boss specifically came from the front to the back, earnestly advising Chen Yang.

"This isn’t Cangnan Academy; Dajing Dynasty’s rules are very different, nobility has privileges, and officials protect each other. If you offend someone important, the consequences could be dire. Be exceptionally careful." The boss seriously warned Chen Yang.

Although Chen Yang didn’t agree internally, he still nodded in commitment.

The boss was just making a living, and the earlier incident had scared him significantly.

If Chen Yang didn’t agree, the boss might "invite" him and Tu Qi out of the caravan.

After hurriedly leaving Zhen Nan Pass, the group continued forward.

After crossing over ten miles of plains, they entered the Hilly Mountain Range.

The roads in the Hilly Mountain Range were much harder to traverse compared to the plains.

Twisting and turning, the path went up and down, with many strange things along the way.

Occasionally, one or two demon beasts might appear.

But they were relatively low-level demon beasts, typically not affecting them.

When they appeared, others in the group would slay them, and then continue forward.

The time in the mountains passed quickly; it felt like a moment, and night fell.

To swiftly cross the dangerous area of over a hundred miles, the caravan boss didn’t allow rest, and nobody wanted to rest.

Given the dangers of such places, nobody wanted to risk inexplicably losing their life during rest.

Thus, everyone continued journeying together.

To stave off boredom while traveling, the man in the front vehicle kept chatting with Chen Yang about some secrets of the Dajing Dynasty.

Of course, most of them were hearsay, and their truth couldn’t be confirmed.

However, such folklore typically has some basis, not being entirely unfounded.

Even if they slightly deviated from reality, they were likely not far off, still holding some reference value.

Chen Yang and Tu Qi were interested in listening, and thus talked all the way.

From this, Chen Yang gleaned quite a few insights into the brutality of the ruling factions.

Dajing Dynasty was founded over three hundred years ago.

Over three hundred years, the kingdom remained relatively stable, but disturbances appeared in its upper circles in recent years.

The root of this turmoil stems from the Old Emperor’s younger brother.

Python King.

He is the father of the beautifully dressed man seen today.

Python King deeply trusted by the Old Emperor.

Consistently entrusted with important tasks, now with the Old Emperor critically ill, he began eyeing the throne.

Not only controlling the strategic Capital area, but also dispatching emissaries across regions, attempting to win over various forces.

Aiming for support in becoming the Emperor.

While the Crown Prince of the Dajing Dynasty had been blocked outside the Capital due to other affairs, unable to reach the center of power.

"Today we saw the Heir of Python King at Zhen Nan Pass, didn’t we? He’s likely going to Zhen Nan Pass to win over Prince Zhen Nan for his father, Python King."

"For you, little brother, to dare offend such a figure, I’m truly in awe; you’re lucky, otherwise, in other circumstances, several Nascent Soul Strong People would be chasing you already." The man clicked his tongue.

Chen Yang had been engrossed in the conversation, surprised when it circled back to the day’s events.

Suddenly, he found it amusing.

"Indeed, luck was on my side." Chen Yang couldn’t say much more, reluctantly acknowledging it.

A night of travel quickly flashed by.

As dawn approached, they spotted a building ahead.

The building appeared dilapidated, seemingly existing in the deep mountains for a long time.

A night of tension left the boss exhausted.

Now, with daylight, he shed his guard, intending for some rest before continuing.

Thus, the group paused for a temporary rest near the rundown building.

Just as they eased their mindset slightly, the surrounding forest suddenly moved, in an instant, over thirty people emerged.

Each brimming with murderous intent, brandishing weapons, coming aggressively.

They quickly encircled them completely.
