Forsaken Immortals Chapter 269 - Accident On The Road

Chapter 269 - Accident On The Road

The person in question had rushed ahead in an attempt to clear the road. His speed was admirable, even this far into the continent, so his strength should not be belittled.

If he had come across an ordinary entourage, his strength and speed would definitely be enough to cause fear, but unfortunately, in the moment he decided to show off, he encountered Mo Chu and Jiang Wei.

"Idiot." Bai Rouyun retracted her gaze after noticing that there was nothing special about the expert outside, but she did not re-enter her cultivation state, as she realized that the loud sound of a rushing carriage came from behind them.

The carriage that was approaching at rapid speed was obviously the reason for this arrogant expert's attempt at clearing the road, so Bai Rouyun decided to stay and see the outcome of this collision.

To be so arrogant, one had to have an outstanding background. In her previous life, Bai Rouyun had been very familiar with the various geniuses that roamed the world, and she also knew which factions they belonged to.

She had often crossed swords with these experts, and knew them well, but things had changed, and the experts she was encountering now would be a generation younger than them, and thus she did not know much of their ident.i.ties.

Li Moyun had provided her with a clear understanding of the intricate power struggle between various sects and families, but the individual experts from each family were still unfamiliar to her.

As Bai Rouyun had heard the sound of the approaching carriage, Jiang Wei and Mo Chu had long since noticed it. Their cultivation rank was much higher than hers, and thus their senses were more sensitive.

However, they had shown no intention of cowering to the side so that the incoming carriage could pa.s.s by, nor did they increase their speed to move faster. In fact, the speed of Bai Rouyun's carriage suddenly slowed slightly, and it changed from being driven on the side of the road to occupying the center position.

It was clear that their attempt was to provoke and frustrate the ones rushing from behind.

Such petty actions might have been childish in the eyes of others, but Bai Rouyun, Jiang Wei, and Mo Chu all found that they were pretty similar in personality. The three of them disliked when others used their background to try to bully them like this, so they decided to return the annoyance.

Even if this woman had a great background, what could she do? Bai Rouyun was the wife of the Eternal Shadow Lord, and no one would be able to harm her with Jiang Wei by her side.

Bai Rouyun began to feel rather curious as to how things would progress, so she lifted the curtain once more, only to see that the expert that had tried to clear the road previously had been bundled up in a blanket and wrapped with a rope to resemble a steamed bun, making him unable to move.

His pitiful appearance caused Bai Rouyun to grin happily, and her gaze moved to the back of their carriage. The other carriage had not been in sight before, but its speed was so great that it could be seen rushing towards them with a great cloud of dust trailing behind it.

Unfortunately, the carriage driver had not expected that they did not either draw to the side or simply let them pa.s.s, so when he realized that the ones ahead were slowly moving at their own pace, and positioned in a way that made it impossible to overtake, his reaction was a step too slow.

By the time he began to slow the carriage's speed, he found that the beasts that were pulling it had already reached a point where their strength could not easily be contained, and he had to pull a special kind of leash that was infused with strong spiritual energy to knock out the beasts instantly.

This kind of leash was made by a leatherworker who had reached a spiritual level, and then it was inscribed with a special inscription made for bursting out a numbing poison that would instantly make the beasts lose the control of their bodies.

However, things were not going according to their expectations. The beasts did indeed lose control of their bodies and crashed to the ground, but due to the inertia from the previous speed, the carriage collided into the beasts' bodies.

The force with which they collided caused the carriage to continue its trajectory after landing, and rolled a few times on the ground before it slowly came to a standstill.

Bai Rouyun and the ones in her carriage witnessed the entire process, but none of them showed any signs of distress. It was their own fault for riding so recklessly, so they had to take responsibility for the consequences.

While Bai Rouyun and her comrades did not care, the others in the entourage were shocked by the sudden accident, and thus they hurried to try and help.

Even if they were cultivators, they were likely to have suffered some injuries, and thus they wished to help, hoping to get some benefits.

The carriage was lying on its side with one wheel still spinning. Its glamorous appearance had been scratched and broken, making the scene seem much more chaotic than expected.

"I am going to kill you!"

Just as a group of experts was rushing to help the ones inside the carriage, a furious and sharp female voice broke through the silence.. Clearly, the leader of this group was a young woman, but she was not harmed too badly, considering the sheer strength she used to shout out the angry words.
