Blue Phoenix Chapter 69 – Scarface

While traveling throughout the entire day, the mood slowly turned better as nothing unexpected happened. But even still, Hui Yue kept feeling as though he was being observed, observed by someone who wished to kill him.

The four guards who walked the previous day stored away their armor as they had experienced the harsh reality. It was not possible to keep marching while wearing such a heavy armor although it looked good, it was far from practical.

The eight remaining guards from the Yang family did not understand that they would have trouble. However, as the time went on problems arose as they started panting and lagging behind.

Seeing them lagging behind, Hui Yue instantly stopped the caravan. He ordered the guards to drop their armor, then they all slowly made their way forward once again. Although they moved forward, their speed was far inferior to that of the day before. The group of mercenaries started to feel uncomfortable with the time it was taking, fearing that danger would approach them from every side.

Hui Yue was not the only one who felt as though there was someone behind them. Xu Piao shared this premonition. His eyes flickered from side to side while his brow furrowed and his muscles were taut.

Hui Yue could not help but hope that whoever it was that was behind them would be unable to follow them into the tunnels. The thought was just unthinkable of having vicious killers following them in the lawless world of the tunnels where no light shone. This tunnel world was a world where no one cared about what happened to others, and one could pretend that a murder was done by a magical beast.

After thinking about this, Hui Yue’s eyes grew cold as he went to the back to ensure that no one fell behind. He had already lost two men. He did not plan on losing more anytime soon.

As soon as the beautiful cave sky started turning dim, the group stopped their advance. Unlike the previous evening, they did not set up three campfires, only one next to the carriage belonging to the young master Yang Bai.
