After leaving the northwest region, they saw a lush and verdant mountain forest. It was a stretch of green, blue sky and green water; it was very comfortable to look at.
The people from the four academies were familiar with the route. Within ten days, they had left Han Shui City at the northwest border.
Ten kilometers away from Han Shui City, Xiao Fan was invited to return by a person sent by Xiao Yun. He said that he would return with Godly Armored Army in a few days.
”Don't worry, the news is absolutely reliable. They haven't appeared yet, maybe they haven't reached the place they want to attack yet.” Xiao Yun said with an affirmative tone.
Xiao Yun's words were not unreasonable, as the commander of the Godly Armored Army, the information he obtained should not be wrong, maybe the opportunity for those people to make their move was not right.
As for being found out by the killers, Xiao Fan was not in the team, so there was no need to worry.
Xiao Fan had first left with the rest, and then he was quietly called back to Han Shui City. The spy from the assassination group would definitely not know about this.
Furthermore, a strong Ranker like Xiao Yun had extremely strong perception.
They had been following Bai Qing and the others the entire time, and the distance between them was only one kilometer. If there was any movement in the surroundings, Xiao Yun would be able to detect it.
The two of them quietly followed the crowd for another day. They were only one day away from the Divine Capital, but the killers did not appear.
However, one thing that was out of the ordinary was that in areas that were close to the capital, there were bandits causing trouble. Home raids were rampant, and the local security was quite poor.
Who in the world would be so bold as to do such a thing?
Moreover, this bandit was only present in the last half month. The government officials in this area were weak and could not deal with the bandit groups for a short period of time.
Faced with this situation, the people from the four academies decided to stay and help the local officials, manage the public security, and confront the bandits. They would only come back to their senses when the imperial government's reinforcements arrived.
Because of this, Xiao Fan and the Xiao Yun brothers secretly investigated the surrounding area for a day or two. They found out the general situation of this group of bandits and also discovered the home of this group of bandits.
Furthermore, the two of them came to the conclusion that this group of bandits might be a trap, and this group of bandits might very well be the group who wanted to assassinate Xiao Fan.
This group of bandits had appeared at a very special time, half a month ago. At that time, Xiao Fan and the others had left the northwest region.
If they pretended to be bandits and killed Xiao Fan, they could only blame it on being robbed and killed. It very well covered up the fact that this was a murder that no one could track down.
The forest at night was completely silent. Fifty miles away from the town, in a valley with three sides of precipices, a group of bandits were stationed.
In the dark of the night, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yun sneaked into the mountain stronghold, wanting to seriously investigate the background of this group of bandits.
Inside the village, the lamps were brightly lit. In the main camp's hall sat three people, two men and one woman.
The two men looked to be about 26 or 27 years old. One of them had a shifty appearance and looked very much like a bandit.
