The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 892: Black Cavalry Alliance!

Black Cavalry Alliance! . . .

Cha Eun Xiao rolled his eyes and continued to speak enthusiastically, "No, please do not mistake me. I am truly in need of lots of help here. I am new. I can't even find a place to eat and drink. Brother Guan, you know everything that I need. Just take these stones as my share for the meal later. Let's just find somewhere to eat. Brother Guan, you are a generous man. I don't think you would refuse to share a meal with me, would you?"

Guan Lingxiao frowned and nodded, "You are right... Well then, I guess I should keep these small things for you. You trust me like this. How do you know I won't run away with them?"

"Brother Guan, are they more valuable than our connection? The song we like? We are much like brothers now, aren't we?" Cha Eun Xiao said, "If I can't trust Half Sky, Guan Lingxiao, who should I trust in this world then?"

Guan Lingxiao blushed and then spoke spiritedly, "Relax, brother. You will never be left behind."

He slapped on his chest.

[This guy is definitely self-conscious and also impoverished. He actually thought about taking away the spiritual stones... Those are just a few spiritual stones...]

Guan Lingxiao took the stones and tried to act calm, but the big smile on his face gave him away.

Cha Eun Xiao realized the truth about this man.

[He is actually not that bold...]

[Otherwise, with his strength, if he wanted to rob somebody, it would be easy to get some spiritual stones...]

[I guess he is going to be my guard from now on...]

[Well, it's not so bad to have a guard. At least it won't be so boring on the road!]

...

"Sky Soul Mountain? That's no less than ten thousand miles away," Guan Lingxiao said, and he didn't stop walking ahead. "Let's go then. Hurry. The next three hundred miles are totally empty. There is nowhere to sleep..."

The two of them started their journey with laughter and a series of conversations.

Somehow, Guan Lingxiao seemed a bit influential. They encountered many bandits on the road, but when they saw Guan Lingxiao, they abandoned their plans.

Guan Lingxiao became even more triumphant and inflated after that.

However, Cha Eun Xiao was still a bit confused. [Even if you are truly a man with a warm heart, you... it just doesn't seem right that you came to me just like that?]

[Was it really a coincidence?]

When they had walked about two hundred miles, suddenly, the heavy sound of hooves resounded from all directions. Countless cavalrymen were approaching them, surrounding them.

Guan Lingxiao's face turned extremely dark when he saw it. It wasn't good.

"What's wrong?" Cha Eun Xiao asked, frowning.

Cha Eun Xiao had kept Guan Lingxiao with him to avoid troubles, but if Guan Lingxiao ended up attracting more troubles, that would go against Cha Eun Xiao's intentions.

Guan Lingxiao was no longer confident or triumphant. Instead, he looked like he was about to burst into tears at any moment. He spoke in a trembling voice, "It's a big trouble..."

Cha Eun Xiao looked at him, and Guan Lingxiao was no longer vigorous and spirited. The vigor of Half Sky Guan Lingxiao had completely disappeared.

The sound of hooves stopped, and dust swirled in the air.

A group of cavalrymen in black armor had appeared on the road.

Each cavalryman had a stern expression, coldly regarding them with sharp eyes.

Guan Lingxiao took a step back, comically attempting to hide behind Cha Eun Xiao, but he was far too large for that.

"Guan Lingxiao! Show yourself now!" a black-armored man, who seemed to be the leader, stepped forward and stared at Guan Lingxiao with eyes as sharp as arrows. "You can't escape the consequences of your actions like this! That's not the behavior of a true man!"

He was riding a horse, yet he still looked straight up and tall, like a sword pointing up to the sky. When he spoke, he placed a hand on the sword at his waist, as though he was ready to draw it at a moment's notice.

Cha Eun Xiao observed him and spoke in a subdued voice, "Black Cavalry Alliance?"

Guan Lingxiao's face had turned pale. He nodded, his panic causing him to overlook the fact that Cha Eun Xiao was new to the martial world and shouldn't be aware of the Black Cavalry Alliance.

"What did you do to anger them?" Cha Eun Xiao asked in curiosity. How could Guan Lingxiao, a relatively insignificant figure, provoke the powerful Black Cavalry Alliance?

The Black Cavalry Alliance was one of the most formidable bandit organizations in the Qing-Yun Realm. They were a group even Xiao Monarch, a formidable figure, wouldn't dare to confront.

Guan Lingxiao was merely at the ninth level of the Dream Origin Stage. If he had indeed provoked the Black Cavalry Alliance, how had he managed to survive until now?

"When the smoke rises to eight thousand Zhang, there are a hundred thousand black cavalrymen in hell!" Cha Eun Xiao thought to himself. Black Cavalry Alliance consisted of a hundred thousand men, each well-armed and disciplined. Every one of them had successfully passed arduous trials to become a member of the black riders.

However, their most terrifying trait was their willingness to sacrifice everything. They would kill themselves if needed to eliminate the enemy, and they would charge into battle even against an unbeatable adversary, sacrificing themselves row by row to inflict even the slightest damage on the enemy.

They were willing to let countless of their brethren die just to achieve victory.

"Black Cavalry Alliance is capable of sacrificing their own to ensure their enemy's demise," Cha Eun Xiao contemplated. Even someone as powerful as Xiao Monarch would think twice before engaging them.

The Black Cavalry surrounded them, becoming more numerous by the moment. Cha Eun Xiao began to feel overwhelmed.

In the dimming light of the setting sun, numerous men in black armor emerged, blocking every direction, their presence imposing and eerie. The silence of their well-disciplined army was intimidating, sending shivers down the spine of anyone knowledgeable about military matters.

"Guan Lingxiao, we don't wish to resort to force. Tell us where we can find the Murderous Dan-making Therapist," the leader of the group addressed Guan Lingxiao with an unyielding expression. "Your safety is guaranteed if you cooperate and reveal his whereabouts."
