Yuan Jiuan nodded and looked at Yu Daohang and Pan Lun beside him. "It's getting late, why don't you two masters rest here tonight and depart tomorrow morning."
"I don't mind," Pan Lun said, then looked at Yu Daohang.
Yu Daohang nodded. It was already past six in the evening, and even if they entered the mountains, it would get dark soon. It was better to rest for a night and set off tomorrow. "Alright, we'll stay for one night."
Seeing that Yu Daohang and Pan Lun agreed, Yuan Jiuan instructed the butler, Liu, "Let them stay tonight and depart tomorrow. Are the rooms ready?"
Butler Liu nodded. "Everything is arranged. I'll call for a car to pick up the young master."
Yuan Jiuan nodded in satisfaction. Butler Liu took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.
While waiting for the car, Pan Lun glanced at the more than ten burly men following behind and whispered into Yu Daohang's ear, "Master Yu, have you noticed?"
Pan Lun nudged his mouth towards the twelve burly men behind them.
"Their eyes are fierce, their brows reveal killing intent. They are ruthless characters."
As he spoke, Yu Daohang glanced at the twelve burly men behind them. Seeing them staring at him, he said to Pan Lun, "Old Pan, you were too obvious. They've already noticed you."
Pan Lun was unconcerned. "What are you afraid of? They're just ordinary people. If they dare to make any moves, I'll kill them once we enter the Greater Khingan Range."
What Pan Lun said was true. The nickname "Tu Xingsun" wasn't given lightly. Legend had it that when Pan Lun stole treasures from the Zhenbao Sect, he was pursued by two experts of the Heaven-tier. Pan Lun fled into a deep mountain in Yunnan and killed both pursuers with his bare hands.
Yu Daohang rolled his eyes. If they were mages, these twelve burly men wouldn't be much. But in terms of combat, he himself couldn't take all of them down.
Only by killing many people could they exhibit such fierce eyes and killing intent. In other words, they were desperate individuals. Unfortunately, ordinary people were still ordinary people. It was like having two equally skilled fighters, but one had a gun and the other was unarmed; there was no comparison.
As the two were chatting, four Rolls-Royces drove up.
Seeing the cars arrive, Yuan Jiuan looked at Yu Daohang and Pan Lun. "Masters, the cars are here. Let's get in."
Yu Daohang and Pan Lun nodded and followed Yuan Jiuan into a Rolls-Royce.
They arrived at the winery at the foot of the Greater Khingan Range. Everyone got out of the cars. The winery had a log cabin style, with grapevines planted all around.
"The scenery here is quite nice," Yu Daohang took a deep breath of air, a look of intoxication on his face.
Pan Lun walked up to Yu Daohang and suddenly said, "What is this? You haven't seen the view from the mountaintop. That's what you call scenery."
Yu Daohang glared at him unhappily. This guy was like a caveman, always dwelling in the deep mountains all year round. What scenery hadn't he seen? He probably used natural paper (leaves) to wipe his backside.
"Master Yu, take a look at that group. Aren't they staring at us?" Pan Lun leaned into Yu Daohang's ear and whispered.
Yu Daohang turned his head and saw the group of burly men in green camouflage uniforms staring at them with fierce expressions.
"What are you afraid of? As a cultivator, are you afraid of ordinary people?"
Yu Daohang was somewhat speechless. This guy was a master on the Earth-tier ranking. He should have no problem dealing with these insignificant ants.
"No," Pan Lun became a little anxious. "Master Yu, you know I have a habit. I was recently invited for a chat by the Supernatural Affairs Bureau. If I'm invited again, I'll truly become a wanted criminal."
Yu Daohang chuckled and teased, "Master Pan, who dares to steal the Zhenbao Sect's most prized treasure, is actually afraid of something?"
Pan Lun had no other major flaws except for his kleptomania (habit of stealing). Using magic to steal from others might be fine once or twice, but this guy had stolen hundreds, even thousands of times, from small amounts of ten or twenty yuan to over a million yuan plus a Rolex watch.
This guy was a regular at the Supernatural Affairs Bureau. Perhaps the Bureau couldn't stand it anymore and had given him an ultimatum.
A wanted criminal was someone for whom the Supernatural Affairs Bureau had issued a bounty. Ordinary people wouldn't pay much attention, but there was a group of people who lived by bounties and were quite strong.
"Although the Supernatural Affairs Bureau has rules against using magic on ordinary people, the Greater Khingan Range is full of spirits and monsters. Once we go in, who can guarantee that no one will die?" Yu Daohang grinned.
Pan Lun naturally understood what Yu Daohang meant. He wasn't afraid originally, but judging by their demeanor, they would make a move tonight. "What if those guys make a move tonight?"
Yu Daohang waved his hand. "I'll be here tonight."
Hearing this, Pan Lun felt relieved. Bounties were no joke. As long as they got through tonight, once they entered the Greater Khingan Range tomorrow, if those people dared to make a move, as Master Yu said, with so many spirits and monsters around, it would be normal for a few people to die.
