"They will be here for four days."
Ye Tian Yun revealed.
"Four days?" Jun Xie frowned, "Are you sure?"
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yeah while investigating, I overheard a conversation."
"We can't stay here for four days." Zheng Xiang said.
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yes, that will waste too much time."
"How far is the Thunder Valley from here?" Wu Qingwu asked.
"One day journey. Even on the Golden Ferghanas."
"Hm," Ye Tian Yun nodded, "It will be less if we hurry. The best plan is to come back here within four days and take down these people."
"Yeah," Jun Xie nodded, "But that means we need to complete our objective within two days."
Gao Suyin suddenly asked, "Um… you didn't mention it yet, but what is the objective?"
When others stared at Jun Xie, he turned his head towards Ye Tian Yun because he, himself, was unaware of the main objective.
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "Well, you guys will know when you get there. The thing is, I am not hundred percent sure if it is there or not, and if I tell you the main reason why we're going there, and you get your hopes high, only to find out there's actually nothing, won't it be a bummer?"
Jun Xie shrugged, "I just hope this trip does yield some reward."
Zheng Xiang nodded, "Yes. Recently I have been itching to go for closed-door cultivation."
Ye Tian Yun smiled at this. 'These two only have the Nine Heavens Painting in their mind.'
"What if they leave by the time we come back?" Bai Qing'er suddenly asked, "Won't everything be a waste?"
Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin while replying, "Not if we catch them on their way to the Capital."
"Hm," Jun Xie nodded, "With the things they have, it will take them at least five days to reach the Capital City. And we can complete two round trips to the Thunder Valley in that time."
"Yeah," Ye Tian Yun added, "The only problem is that the closer they are to the Capital, the more protected they will be. So it's best if we take them down as soon as they leave this town."
"Yes. So, let's not waste any more time and head for the Thunder Valley?" Wu Qingwu said after Ye Tian Yun, "Every minute we stay here is every minute less we have in our pocket."
"Hm, true." The others nodded, "Let's go."
…
Under the confused eyes of the tavern keeper, they all headed for the stables and left the small town.
This time their speed was faster because earlier, even though they were on the Golden Ferghana, they weren't pushing the horses, only going with a good speed.
But now that they knew they had only four days on their hands before the Fu Clan's people left that town.
All six of them were currently in a hexagonal formation as they rode their Golden Ferghana horses through the Thunder Valley,
The main reason for this was that the remaining half of the journey was infested with bandits and other miscreants who were looking for an easy profit.
And a party of youngsters would definitely look like an easy target.
This was why the formation was hexagonal - Jun Xie at the front, to use his spiritual sense and keep an eye on boobytraps laid out by bandits.
Behind him were Gao Xuan and Wu Qingwu, both riding parallelly. And then behind this pair were Zheng Xiang and Bai Qing'er, also riding parallel to each other.
And at the end was Ye Tian Yun - to ensure everyone's safety.
Even though his spiritual sense was better than Jun Xie's, being in the last position also gave him an advantage against unexpected ambushes.
A few other physical advantageous reasons were also there, making the current lineup a good setup.
The only weak link, if going by cultivation, was the pair of Zheng Xiang and Bai Qing'er.
Both of them were in Qi Condensation Realm, about three realms lower than Ye Tian Yun.
However, their synchronization was much better, and since both of them were going parallel to each other, they were more alert because of their worries about each other's safety.
Just then, Ye Tian Yun frowned.
Siu!~
A thin shadow came right from the sides and went straight at Bai Qing'er's head.
Clack!
Ye Tian Yun had already moved and flicked the shadow, preventing any injuries on Bai Qing'er.
The shadow was actually an arrow!
And the sudden attack from nowhere had alerted everyone in the party.
Upon noticing Jun Xie slowly down, Ye Tian Yun suddenly shouted, "Keep going! Don't bother about the small fries. I will handle them."
Jun Xie nodded and whipped the Golden Ferghana once more, increasing the pace.
Others also followed him, and soon the group was moving faster than ever.
However, Ye Tian Yun had already noticed something.
He immediately sent Jun Xie a spirit message, who lightly nodded upon hearing the instructions.
Ye Tian Yun then looked sideways, and taking out a small knife, he cumulated Qi at the knife and threw it in the jungle.
"Argh!"
A sudden cry of pain came from the direction in which Ye Tian Yun had thrown a knife.
Ye Tian Yun smiled and waited.
This time, his main goal wasn't only to injure someone but also to force the hidden enemy to make a move.
However, it seemed as if the enemy was unaffected by this.
So Ye Tian Yun took out six small knives from his spatial ring, and clenching them tightly in between his fingers, he concentrated Qi on them and sent them right on the targets.
Siu siu siu siu!
"Argh!"
"Ugh!"
Dying cries of pain came out, and it seemed four out of six knives had hit the targets.
Ye Tian Yun sent another message to Jun Xie. Just then, he felt something.
Looking at his side, he suddenly saw four men jump on him!
Two from each side!
And before he could react, another attack came - and this time from the air as thousands of arrows rained on their party!
