"Teacher, should we inform the Quanzhen Sect that these Yuan army troops might be hostile to them?"
The escorting party and carriages gradually disappeared from their sight, while Liu Bowen's gaze remained fixed on the direction of Zhongnan Mountain.
"Don't worry, the Quanzhen Sect will be fine. Don't forget that they still have the protective charm bestowed upon them by Genghis Khan."
"Is the teacher referring to the Xue Chan Golden Knife that Genghis Khan bestowed upon Qiu Chuji, the Changchunzi, after he traveled ten thousand miles west and stopped the killing with a single word?"
Liu Bowen had no idea how skilled Qiu Chuji was in martial arts, nor was he interested in finding out. The reason Liu Bowen had a good impression of Qiu Chuji was precisely because of the story of stopping a killing with a single word.
Seeing Li Boyang nod in confirmation, Liu Bowen was relieved. Although Genghis Khan was dead, his influence in the Yuan Dynasty had not diminished in the slightest. With the talisman given by Genghis Khan, the Quanzhen Sect would be safe.
Walking silently along the official road, the two headed towards Chang'an.
Who is it?
Before they had gone a hundred meters, Li Boyang suddenly put his hand on Liu Bowen's chest, and the two stood on the official road.
The escorting convoy had disappeared from sight, and the official road was very quiet, except for the occasional birdsong coming from the woods on both sides.
"You coward hiding your head and tail, if you don't come out soon, don't blame me for being impolite."
Li Boyang turned to face the woods, his ears twitching slightly.
A bird seemed startled and flew out from in front of Li Boyang, disappearing into the woods on the other side.
"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences."
The birds in the forest seemed startled; dozens of birds took to the sky, chirping incessantly, as if warning their companions to stay away, sensing an impending danger.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Boyang grew an arm, made a sword-finger gesture, and pointed three times at the three big trees in the forest. Three invisible sword fingers flew out of the air.
Behind the three large trees, three figures suddenly pounced down from behind them. The next moment, an invisible sword finger struck the three trees, and the sharp finger force pierced through the tree trunks.
"Wow, that's amazing. Luckily I dodged it quickly."
"Senior brother, are you alright?"
"Amitabha, please stop, Benefactor Li, it's all a misunderstanding."
Hiding in the trees in the woods beside the official road were none other than Jueyuan, Grasshopper, and Zhang Junbao.

Chapter 94 Great Yuan Cannons
After jumping down from the tree, Jueyuan walked up to Li Boyang, bowed, and said:
“Amitabha Buddha, it is truly a predestined encounter between this humble monk and Benefactor Li that we meet again here.”
Li Boyang looked at Jueyuan with some confusion and asked, "Master Jueyuan, what are you doing hiding in the tree for no reason?"
Jueyuan explained, "It's a long story. Did you see the convoy heading towards the town just now?"
"Could it be related to this matter?"
"That's exactly why, after I left Huangjue Temple, I accidentally discovered that those Yuan soldiers were escorting a batch of cannons to Zhongnan Mountain."
"I was afraid that these Yuan soldiers would do something to harm the prayer ceremony, so I followed them all the way to find out where the cannons were hidden. I didn't expect to run into Benefactor Li here."
Upon hearing Jueyuan's words, Li Boyang's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, after explaining his actions, Jueyuan asked, "It seems that Benefactor Li is about to leave Zhongnan Mountain? The Quanzhen Sect's prayer ceremony is about to begin. Doesn't Benefactor Li intend to go and witness it?"
Li Boyang's mind raced for a moment, and he replied, "Actually, like Master Jueyuan, I found a few Mongolians in an inn in a small town. I overheard them saying that they were escorting a batch of cannons to hide in Zhongnan Mountain, so I came to investigate."
Although Liu Bowen didn't know why his teacher was lying, he admired his teacher for being able to tell the lie so easily and logically, without blushing or panting afterward.
He asked himself if he could do what his teacher did—talk nonsense with such a straight face, making lies sound like the truth. His teacher was indeed a teacher; he still had a lot to learn.
Upon hearing this, Jueyuan praised, "Benefactor Li is indeed a chivalrous person."
"Not at all, the master is the one."
Li Boyang smiled bitterly to himself. He had no choice but to do this. His luck was really bad. He never expected to run into Jueyuan and his group. He should have left tomorrow.
He said this because he felt guilty. Jueyuan had fought with him at Huangjue Temple and knew his martial arts skills. If he still left according to the original plan, things would get really complicated when Jueyuan arrived at the Quanzhen Sect.
The Quanzhen Sect had just lost the Nine Yin Manual, and this Qi Refining Realm expert hurriedly left Zhongnan Mountain. To make matters worse, he ran into Shen Wansan and his daughter and said he would attend the blessing ceremony.
When these events are put together, his suspicion regarding the theft of the Nine Yin Manual is amplified infinitely. Don't underestimate the influence of the Quanzhen Sect in this era. You should know that there are quite a few famous rebel leaders in the country living on Zhongnan Mountain.
After exchanging a few polite words, Jueyuan suddenly said, "Let's stop flattering each other. The convoy is already quite far ahead; we need to catch up quickly."
Li Boyang replied seriously, "If the five of us go together, there will be too many targets, and we'll be easily discovered."
Jueyuan nodded thoughtfully and said, “What Benefactor Li said is right. I think it is better to let my disciple and your student go to the Quanzhen Sect first, while the two of us go to investigate.”
Hearing Jueyuan say that, Li Boyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Jueyuan clearly didn't understand what he meant.
What he meant was that five people were too big a target, and since you've been chasing them all this way, the three of you should just keep chasing, and everyone should go their separate ways and go home to their own mothers.
Although I was extremely unwilling, what came out of my mouth was:
"Master is right. With our martial arts skills, those Yuan soldiers could not possibly discover us."
Li Boyang was unhappy, but Liu Bowen was quite happy. After arriving at Zhongnan Mountain, he had heard that a prayer ceremony was going to be held and he really wanted to go and see it. He didn't expect that his teacher would leave before the prayer ceremony even started.
