The old man spoke in surprise and took back his divine sense. “More than a dozen teams deal with a mercenary team. This time, even if there are strong mercenaries in the team, I’m afraid it’s difficult for them to escape.”
“No, they’ve started to withdraw.”
She smiled faintly. In the dark of the night, some people dressed in a mercenary uniform retreated quietly. Those mercenaries rushed to get out of here before those people noticing their exit. It seemed that their vigilance was good.
One of the retreating mercenaries, however, advanced towards them as if under command. He moved swiftly and noiselessly and soon arrived in front of them.
“Immortal Lord Hun Yuan, our leader asked me to tell you. Please leave quickly. There are more than a dozen teams headed this way and they’ve already surrounded us. It will be too late if you don’t leave.”
The old man froze for a moment and then nodded. “Oh, we know. You can leave first!”
“Please take care!” The mercenary said, then quickly catching up with the other members of his team.
“Huh?”
As her divine sense swept towards those mercenaries, she caught sight of a familiar figure. After a brief surprise, she chuckled. “I didn’t expect to see him here, but unfortunately, I didn’t see him until now.”
The familiar man in mercenary uniform turned out to be her brother Guan Xilin. As she thought of him, she smiled. Her big smile was conspicuous.
When Sage Hun Yuan and Zhuo Junyue saw her standing there smiling, they were a little confused. Zhuo Junyue didn’t ask, because he knew that the old man would get curious and ask her. Sure enough, when his eyes turned to the old man, he immediately heard the old man spoke.
“Why are you smiling? Why is your smile so strange?”
Using her divine sense, Feng Jiu had already seen her brother leaving with those mercenaries and a large group of people had disappeared silently into the night. Only then did she retracted her sight and answered with a smile. “It’s nothing.”
As she spoke, she rubbed her hands and twisted her waist with a sly smile on her face. “The moonlight is so beautiful tonight! Since we can’t sleep, let’s loosen up our muscles!”
“Loosen your muscles?” The old man glanced at her. “You are not a do-gooder. What’s on your mind?”
“What do you mean, not a do-gooder?” Feng Jiu snorted. “They brought us roasted meat to eat. We should help them anyway, shouldn’t we?”
“Would you be so kind? The old man doesn’t believe it.” The old man spoke, motioning towards the mercenary team’s departing figures. “Is there somebody you know in that team?”
‘Yes!” She answered with a smile and said nothing else, but looked ahead and listened to the sounds coming from there.
“They ran away? How come there’s no one here?”
“How did they run away? Did anyone tip them off?”
“It’s impossible for anyone to send news secretly to them. We have no friendship with that mercenary team!”
“They must have noticed us and ran away. The fire is still there. They haven’t cleaned the place well. They shouldn’t have gone far. Chase them!”
Those voices came faintly. The killing intent that had been restrained suddenly poured out from their bodies. Their initial light steps, due to fear of getting found out, now became disordered and chaotic.
“Chase them! That kid took the best Flaming Red Volcanic Flare Stone! That treasure is priceless! We have to wrest it away!”
