Chen Yang swiftly defeats the bandit leader Scarface, causing the remaining bandits to flee in terror. He collects his reward from the grateful caravan boss and continues his journey. Upon reaching Xin’an City, Chen Yang senses he is being followed and plans to part ways with the caravan after reaching the capital. The next morning, two new, enigmatic individuals join the caravan.

It felt as if he was truly in the late-stage Condensation.

If it weren’t for Chen Yang’s keen senses, he might not have discovered it.

"These two, they’re not simple," Chen Yang carefully scanned them and quickly came to this conclusion.

They are definitely not as simple as they appear.

Out of curiosity, Chen Yang secretly found the caravan boss and inquired about the origins of those two people.

"Them? They came from another power, unfamiliar with the Dajing Dynasty, and wanted to head to the Capital, so they found me and asked to join us on the way," the boss replied with a relaxed smile.

Because he felt that the stronger the caravan, the smoother the journey would be.

The strength of those two was not weak, so he was naturally willing to take them along.

"Is that all you know? Didn’t you inquire about anything else?" Chen Yang felt strange and continued to ask.

"I didn’t inquire about anything else, youngster, why are you asking about this? Is there something peculiar about those two?" The boss noticed Chen Yang’s expression and inquired.

Although Chen Yang was suspicious and felt that those two were not simple, he was unclear about who they actually were and where they came from.

What could he say?

"It’s nothing, let’s just keep traveling," seeing that the boss didn’t know anything, Chen Yang decided not to ask further.

"Alright, let’s go."

The boss didn’t think much of it either and directly led the caravan out of Xinan City.

Continuing their journey towards the Capital.

Since crossing that treacherous hilly region, the road ahead was relatively smooth.

Along the way, Chen Yang encountered many villages, towns, and so on.

The Dajing Dynasty was very prosperous, and martial arts were thriving.

However, the hierarchy was quite strict, which was the only flaw.

The aristocracy had privileges.

Chen Yang saw many such instances along the way.

But he didn’t interfere in many things.

Because the Dajing Dynasty was just like that.

He could manage one or two issues for a time, but he couldn’t manage forever, nor could he change the entire Dajing Dynasty.

So, he didn’t intervene.

And during their journey, he continually observed the two people who joined the caravan later.

After a careful observation, Chen Yang acutely discovered something peculiar about the relationship between those two.

The scruffy young man’s cultivation was only in the mid-stage Condensation.

The big man’s cultivation was at least in the Ningdan Perfection, but his speech and various body movements.

All gave off the demeanor of a servant.

It seemed that the relationship between the two was not just a regular relationship but one of master and servant.

The scruffy young man was the master.

The middle-aged man was the servant.

Noticing this aspect, it further confirmed Chen Yang’s suspicion.

The identities of those two were not simple.

They definitely had a background; it was just unclear why they entered the Capital of the Dajing Dynasty in such a manner.

While Chen Yang was pondering this, the caravan in front suddenly stopped.

The entire caravan came to a halt.

"What’s the situation, head guard? Why have the Fire Steeds stopped?"

Someone asked in confusion.

Chen Yang and Tu Qi also looked ahead.

"There’s a large caravan up ahead; the road isn’t wide. Let’s wait for them to pass," the head guard said, turning back.

Upon hearing this, many people climbed onto their carts to get a better view of the situation ahead.

Chen Yang was no exception; using a bit of Spiritual Energy, he flew up into the air.

Soon, he saw a caravan appearing on the main road ahead.

The caravan had numerous people, and a lot of carts, at least twice as many as their team.

A caravan this large occupied the whole road, so the head guard had no choice but to halt at a wider area until they passed.

But no one expected that when the caravan passed by, and just when they thought they could start moving again.

The caravan suddenly drew weapons from their cart’s stack of goods and started attacking them.

The opposing caravan had many hands.

Additionally, most of Chen Yang’s team was unprepared.

Two people were already cut down before they could react.

Seeing the attack, others were shocked but quickly drew their own weapons and began to resist.

Chen Yang and Tu Qi were no exceptions.

"What’s going on here?"

Tu Qi exclaimed in shock.

While fighting back, he asked.

"Fellow Taoists, our caravan has not offended your caravan in the slightest; what do you mean by this?" The head guard was also stunned and was asking while resisting.

The opposing caravan had at least 30 people, surrounding them.

Leading them was a man similar to the head guard.

He exuded a strong presence.

"No offense? If you must blame someone, blame those you took onboard who shouldn’t have been."

The man snorted coldly, and then his aura suddenly burst forth, turning his hand into an eagle’s claw, viciously attacking the scruffy man in the caravan’s center.

The man exuded intense killing intent, clearly targeting the scruffy young man.

The scruffy young man was greatly alarmed, quickly retreating.

All the while, the middle-aged man who stood behind him stepped forward, blocking him, delivering a palm strike.

In an instant, the two exchanged dozens of blows, evenly matched.

Finally, they exchanged a palm strike and briefly separated.

"Hahaha, Wang Taifu, it’s been some time, but your skill has only gotten deeper," the man laughed heartily after stepping back.

Addressing the middle-aged man as Wang Taifu.

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand. How dare you raid a caravan in broad daylight? Aren’t you afraid of punishment by the county government?" The middle-aged man replied loudly.

He directly invoked the laws of the Dajing Dynasty.

By now, everyone had stopped fighting.

The caravan had suffered heavy losses, losing three people in an instant, leaving only six remaining.

The caravan boss, the head guard, two brothers from the front cart, and Chen Yang and Tu Qi...

The caravan boss was showing signs of panic, having no clue what had just happened.

But Chen Yang had roughly guessed it.

The scruffy young man was a significant figure.

And those people from the opposing caravan were definitely not a real caravan; they had deliberately disguised themselves to ambush the scruffy young man.

"Hahaha, Wang Taifu, your face-changing technique is indeed impressive, but isn’t it unnecessary to fool me like this? You can disguise yourself, but the Crown Prince cannot."

"Do you really think dressing up the Crown Prince, smudging some soot on his face, would fool everyone?"

The man laughed once more and continued.

This revelation stunned the boss, the head guard, and the two brothers in the front cart, as if they were struck by lightning.

The scruffy young man... is the current Crown Prince?

The Python King’s deadly enemy?

The boss almost blacked out from shock.

He was just a small business owner; how did he get embroiled in such a significant affair?

The others had similar thoughts.

It was extremely startling.

No one expected that a scruffy young man hitching a ride would be the Crown Prince of the Dajing Dynasty.

It was too exaggerated.

"Wang Taifu, do you still want to keep up this act? Crown Prince, under the Python King’s orders, I’ve come to escort you to the capital. Please cooperate with me." The man’s gaze shifted as he spoke to the scruffy young man.

However, the tone of his words was rather peculiar.

"Hmph, Gongsun Ji, you wish. Today, even if I die, I will not let the Crown Prince be taken by you."

Seeing that their disguise had been uncovered, the middle-aged man dropped his disguise, and his voice suddenly turned hoarse.
