At the same time, four or five men with hostile faces emerged from the bamboo forest, each wielding a large knife stained with blood. The leader was a man with a goatee who was under forty years old and had average cultivation, a first rank Saint.
In just a few breaths of time, the woman had already arrived in front of Billy and knelt down. “Please, sir… save me…”
“Get up!” Billy said lightly.
“Sir…” the woman continued to speak in a trembling voice.
“Missy, you stand up!” Harleen reached out and helped the woman up.
“If you don’t want to die, mind your own business!” The five men stopped dozens of meters away and spoke threateningly.
Then, they looked at Billy and his group, their eyes full of malice as they lingered over them, with intense sinister intentions flashing in their pupils.
“What happened to you, Miss?” Harleen ignored them and looked at the woman, asking.
“I… I’m from the Bennett family in Ouverford. Today, I came here to collect medicinal herbs with my family members, but we didn’t expect to encounter members of Devil Sect here…” The woman named Evelyn Bennett trembled as she spoke. “They wanted to harass me, and my family members were killed by them.”
“Do you know Ouverford?” At this moment, Azure Dragon looked at Nolan Ochoa and asked.
“I do!” Nolan Ochoa nodded in response. “It’s a small city under the jurisdiction of the Tengamine Kingdom!”
“Tengamine Kingdom?” Frostblade slightly frowned and said, “This is not within the scope of your Wind Swift Kingdom?”
“No!” Nolan Ochoa shook his head.
“Wind Swift Kingdom borders Tengamine Kingdom and is about the same size as the Tengamine Kingdom, both of which are principalities at the same level, and there are often conflicts between the two countries.”
“How far is Ouverford from the Star Moon Sect?” Stout asked.
“Star Moon Sect is located west of Wind Swift Kingdom, and Ouverford is located east of Tengamine Kingdom, with about two thousand kilometers between them,” Nolan Ochoa replied again.
“So far?” Stout replied with some disbelief.
“Do you really want to meddle?” While they chatted, the goatee man pointed his knife at Billy and spoke.
“If you really want to save her, you just need to let a few of your beauties have some fun with us, and we’ll let her go!”
“You’re heading for your doom,” Ian Blade looked at Billy and asked, “Boss, shall I do it?”
“Kill them,” Billy nodded.
He could tell from Evelyn Bennett’s eyes that she was not lying. Although he didn’t want to get involved, he couldn’t just sit back and watch.
“What the fuck! Are you two joking? I order you…”
Before the man could finish speaking, a blade of light flashed across, and his head flew into the sky, with blood spewing out like a fountain.
“Hmm? You guys are really asking for death!” The goatee man was slightly stunned, then roared and thrust his knife at Ian Blade, followed by the other three.
But how could they be a match for Ian Blade with their strength?
After several flashes of blades, all four of them fell to the ground, without any breath left.
Seeing this scene, Evelyn Bennett gasped in shock, apparently not expecting Ian Blade to be so powerful.
“Thank you…” Evelyn Bennett slightly paused, then bowed to Ian Blade.
“It’s nothing!” Ian Blade put away his knife.
“Miss Bennett, how far is Ouverford from here?” Harleen looked at Evelyn Bennett and asked.
“Not far, about a hundred kilometers!” Evelyn Bennett replied, “Do you want to go to Ouverford?”
“Honey, should we stop by in Ouverford for a bit before we leave?” Harleen looked at Billy and asked.
“Yes!” After a brief thought, Billy responded.
It wouldn’t hurt to get to know the local customs and practices when they first arrived in this world.
“If you want to go to Ouverford, I’ll take you there!” Upon hearing their words, Evelyn Bennett spoke again.
“Thank you!” Harleen smiled.
“Miss Bennett, you’re welcome!” Evelyn Bennett bowed again.
Afterward, led by Evelyn Bennett, they headed towards Ouverford.
After about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a clearing outside a city gate.
Through this trip, Billy and his group had gained a basic understanding of the transportation tools in this world. They were slightly surprised that most of these vehicles were carriages, and many people were riding horses.
In addition to horses, there were flying beasts to ride on, and they were all Spiritual Beasts.
Occasionally, they could see people walking in the air in the air.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is Ouverford. I’ll take you in!” Evelyn Bennett said and led Billy and his group into the city after paying a certain amount of spirit stones.
“It’s quite lively here!” Upon entering the city gate, Soul Chaser looked at the street ahead and said.
As he said, there were indeed many people on the street. Almost all of them were dressed in long robes, regardless of their age or gender.
Apart from pedestrians, there were occasional carriages passing by, and the houses on both sides were ancient-style architecture.
The scenery of the entire town was almost identical to the street view of Glavale hundreds of years ago!
“Ladies and gentlemen, my family is just ahead!”
After walking for a while, Evelyn Bennett pointed to a not-so-small estate in front of them.
Earlier, on their way here, they had learned from Evelyn Bennett that the Bennett family was the largest family in Ouverford, second only to the city lord’s mansion.
Moreover, the Bennett family was also a renowned medical family.
Billy and his group followed Evelyn Bennett into the Bennett family estate.
Looking ahead, they saw many people dressed as city lord officials standing like spears on the square not far away, with a tense expression on their faces.
Near the front entrance of a building, there were a lot of people, some of whom were wearing official clothing.
“Miss, you’re back?” At this moment, a member of the Bennett family came over.
“While speaking, he took a look at Billy and the others, then turned to Evelyn Bennett and asked, “Miss, where are those who went out with you?”
“They have been killed…” Upon hearing this, tears streamed uncontrollably down Evelyn Bennett’s face.
“What?” The man exclaimed in surprise. “What happened? Who did it?”
“It was Devil Sect!” Evelyn Bennett choked up as she briefly recounted what had happened.
“Devil Sect!” The man gritted his teeth. “They deserve to die!”
After speaking, he bowed to Billy and the others, “Thank you all for saving Miss Bennett’s life!”
“It was nothing, no need to mention it,” Billy replied calmly.
“Conor, why are there so many people from the City Lord’s Mansion here?” Evelyn Bennett asked with a composed expression. “What happened?”
