Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 23: 23

As the heat spread through his body, the sliver of qi became lively as well, flowing near his wounds and producing a numbing itchiness .

Huang Binghu sent out a few nimble hunters as scouts as the group traveled into the depths of the mountains around the ox cart .

They walked all the way until dusk without stopping, entering deep into a mountain . There was no trace of human activity at all in the surroundings .

At the foot of the mountain, Li Qingshan saw the legendary Drawn Reins village .

A tall, wooden wall was erected around the village . Watch towers stood at each corner . It did not seem like a village and was more like a military base . They had to approach it, signal the people in there, and only then would the gate open up . It was nowhere near as informal as the Crouching Ox village .

Li Qingshan was the only outsider, so he attracted everyones attention . He seemed unaffected on the surface, but he became nervous on the inside . This was the legendary lair of danger that had managed to make a whole army draw their reins .

Huang Binghu did not seem to be harbouring any ill intentions, but he needed to handle this carefully . Otherwise, he could lose his life without even knowing . His steel blade had already been taken away . However, even if he still possessed it, the damage it had received during that battle was already beyond repair .
