"I knew I would regret this!" As the moonlight began to rise, looking at Li Fan who was eagerly preparing for his first outdoor feast away from Nanhua City, a sense of regret almost made his heart bleed.
His previous unease had been fully confirmed. Along the way, Lu Rou had found various excuses to continue moving forward while delaying their return to the city. Now, she had finally "successfully" realized her greatest dream.
He shook his head vigorously to dispel thoughts of the punishment he might face from Lu Feng after returning. With nightfall, even without the threat of the Demon Clan, this Valley was definitely not a safe place.
In addition to ordinary wild beasts, there were also powerful demon beasts that had not disappeared even near Nanhua City.
Wang Long and the others had no psychological burden, allowing A-Yun and Little Tiger to play with Lu Rou. Although Lu Rou was probably several hundred years old, having been under the protection of her sister Lu Feng for so long, she had never left Nanhua City, which allowed her to retain most of her childishness.
Meanwhile, he was organizing the information they had gathered today with Ying Sang and Old Xu, so it could be useful in the future.
While they were enjoying themselves here, both Wang Long and Li Fan suddenly felt something and looked toward the darkness in the distance.
"What’s wrong?" The weaker Lu Rou also sensed something was off and instinctively asked the two.
"Be alert! Put out all the torches! Everyone gather together!" Wang Long did not directly answer Lu Rou, but waved his right hand, using a gust of wind to sweep away all traces of their presence, urging those with lesser strength like Ying Sang to hide between the largest rocks and not come out until they were sure it was safe.
Wang Long then quietly led Li Fan and a reluctant Lu Rou toward the direction where they sensed something unusual.
The cool night breeze brushed against their faces, making Wang Long calmer, filling Lu Rou with adventurous excitement, while it only increased Li Fan's dissatisfaction with this kind of adventure.
"You better think this through. There have been records of powerful Ancient Beasts appearing near Nanhua City. I still think I should check it out alone; you two don’t need to take such a big risk." Even on the way, Li Fan lowered his voice to advise them.
"Li Fan, Uncle, have you forgotten what we talked about during the day? How can I grow without experiencing such dangers and battles? How can I help my sister fight against powerful enemies?" Lu Rou criticized Li Fan's conservative mindset with righteous indignation. Hearing this, Wang Long secretly found it amusing; this young lady could only use her charm to "bully" the doting Li Fan, but she couldn't fool him—deep down, she just wanted to go on an adventure.
"This time may indeed be somewhat dangerous; however, I don't quite agree with Li Fan. What we might face could be more than just Ancient Beasts, but also experts from other forces."
"You mean the Demon Clan?" Li Fan immediately thought of this possibility, his eyes filled with killing intent!
For those Ancient Beasts wandering here, there was still a chance for peaceful coexistence. However, if they truly encountered a master from the Demon Clan this time, it would mean an enemy to the death. If they could take advantage of the opponent's carelessness and kill them while they were alone, they would have one less powerful enemy in the upcoming defense battle of Nanhua City!
"Hehe, until we see them for real, no one can be certain. Let's go take a look first."
Before long, even Lu Rou could clearly feel the powerful spiritual energy influence. The three of them became even more cautious, fully suppressing their own spiritual energy and aura as they continued to approach.
"Why haven't they arrived here yet? The news has already been successfully relayed to that scoundrel Lu Feng in Nanhua City! If there is still no movement around Nanhua City, it will draw their attention elsewhere!"
Just as they vaguely felt they were getting very close to their target, suddenly an uncontrollable roar came from the other side of a stone peak.
"Calm down. Our intelligence on the Demon Clan should be accurate. The reason for this situation must be some error somewhere, but the Demon Clan's plan shouldn't change!" A slightly gentler voice then spoke, trying to persuade the obviously irritable person.
"I know, but don't forget how much pressure our companions in Nanhua City are under right now. Although that scoundrel Lu Feng is a woman, she must not be underestimated. Over the years, the power of Nanhua City has continuously grown to the point where even Xuanmen has to pay more attention. If we can't seize this opportunity to place Nanhua City directly under our influence, then in just a few years, we'll be forced to insert ourselves from a place like Beitai City. How many years do you think it will take to reverse influence back into Nanhua City?"
Wang Long, Lu Rou, and Li Fan listened in confusion, completely not understanding what he meant. But one thing was certain: this invasion of Nanhua City by the Demon Clan was definitely not as simple as they imagined!
Was the mantis catching the cicada while the oriole was behind?
But that didn't make sense either. After all, this time it was the Demon Lord Brahma Demon King himself who came; who would dare to entertain such thoughts under his direct involvement? Who could pull off such a scheme? Who could guarantee that their strength and calculations could match up to this person who claimed to be the number one in the divine realm beneath Pangu the Giant God?
—Although that was self-proclaimed by the Demon Clan...
Alright, even if someone could do it, at least Wang Long would never believe that two individuals with such deep schemes and strength were currently unaware of his close eavesdropping.
"Alright, let's stop arguing between us. You go back and report the situation here to that person. Soon we will have a powerful helper return; then whether we maintain our original plan or make any modifications, at least we will have some confidence."
"Understood." The person who was grumbling in a low voice clearly held a lower status than the one behind him, and could only nod in agreement to his words.
Wang Long couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment. It seemed that they had already finished their argument, and the status between the two was not equal; as soon as the person behind took a strong stance, the one in front immediately retreated. Although it was clear he was still dissatisfied, he would definitely not continue the argument, allowing them to overhear more information.
At that moment, Li Fan suddenly reached out and wrote three characters on Wang Long's back: "What to do?"
Wang Long understood his meaning. From their conversation, it was obvious that one person intended to return to Nanhua City to report to those who had already infiltrated there. This was the best opportunity to identify the traitor before the major battle.
However, on the other hand, while the two of them were indifferent, they absolutely could not allow the inexperienced Lu Rou to act alone.
Wang Long did not respond directly at this distance; any conversation between them could alert the other party. He merely pointed at Li Fan, indicating that he should follow the person who was leaving.
Wang Long was not someone who only sought to show off. Although he also wanted to know immediately who the traitor in Nanhua City was and, based on strength alone, he would certainly be the first choice to chase after him.
However, when it came to familiarity with this environment, especially in the dark of night, he was far inferior to Li Fan. Moreover, his caution should be sufficient for this task.
More importantly, Wang Long felt that he had caught Lu Rou's attention. If she saw him chasing after the person who left, she would definitely not stay put.
